Life Delusion

Aqua was born into the Crimson Demon Tribe, but unlike everyone else, he possessed no visible magical core. Branded as worthless, he was exiled from his home and forced to survive in a cruel world alongside the only person who refused to abandon him-his younger sister, Rose. Far from the tribe, Aqua discovers that the power sleeping within him is not a weakness, but something far more dangerous. As he travels across the world, he joins the Adventurer's Guild in hopes of growing stronger and uncovering his true potential. Meanwhile, the gods begin to take an interest in him, choosing him for a purpose he does not yet understand... And thus, the story begins.

The Prisoner of the Tides / Shio no Toraware Neiva

What if the Gods cast you down from paradise not to be a savior, but to be a sacrifice? In a realm of light beyond the clouds, a god's worth isn't measured by their goodness or purity, but by how idolized they are. Neiva Deep Water was a Primordial Goddess of Hyperion, living an untouchable eternity, until a dragon invasion shatters the celestial borders. The ruling deities decree a cruel fate: Neiva and her sisters are stripped of their grace and banished to the mortal realm of Primitia. Their mission? To act as divine shields for a fragile humanity. But Primitia is not a world that welcomes saviors. It is a ruthless, blood-soaked land ruled by tyrants, demons, and the Twelve Tears of Hollows, an elite guild of assassins that manipulates the continent from the shadows. When a desperate escape goes terribly wrong, Neiva is violently separated from her twin sister and thrust into the darkest corners of the mortal world. To survive, the goddess of water must trade her divine silks for a colossal iron greatsword and stain her hands with blood. The goddess of water was sent to save a planet, but on earth, she will find mortals who also bleed to save the land they love, and monsters who seek to consume it entirely. Cover by : Yuzhang

The warrior of ashes: Tales of the chaos

In a world on the brink of destruction where myths and legends blur together, a prophecy remains the only perspective for the future. It foretells the ultimate struggle between good and evil—the destruction or the salvation of the world—born from the blade brandished by the Warrior of Ashes. However, for Thiongane soldiers like Pierre, this story is nothing more than a tale, a tall story. Amidst the constant horrors and the permanent anguish felt during every new battle against the Djinns for three centuries, they have never seen even a shadow of these Boechins and their radiant powers. And Pierre’s only experience with the gods had long since convinced him that they should expect no favorable divine intervention. But whether one believes it or not changes nothing. Despite himself, Pierre finds himself in the heart of the most tragic and ferocious battle he has ever known, unaware that it is the fruit of manipulations by entities beyond all human conception. And in the ashes of this tragedy, the story of a boy was meant to begin. The first cog in a cruel destiny whose mechanism seems unstoppable. The first prisoner of a web already woven. Georges Badji.

I Command

Some voices are born to be heard. Others are born to be feared. Shelly Halton was never given the chance to be ordinary. Born into a noble family, her existence became a secret that even her own blood feared to expose. But beneath the whispers, the shame, and the doors closed against her lies something far more unsettling than her appearance. Something that should have remained forgotten. In a world where a single voice can change everything, Shelly will discover that being silenced and being powerless are not the same thing. Meanwhile, in the kingdom of Eclastare, a young noblewoman named Sophia finds herself drawn to something she cannot quite explain. Singing has always been a part of her life, but there are moments when her own voice feels strangely unfamiliar—as though it carries something she has yet to understand. Two girls, each with a voice of her own. Two lives moving toward a future neither can fully see. But the world is not kind to those who are different, and power rarely comes without a price. As secrets linger beneath the surface and the boundaries between fear, freedom, and ambition begin to blur, their paths will lead toward a conflict neither can simply sing or command her way out of. Because when the world refuses to listen, what is left for those who were born with voices that should never have existed?
