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?

JJK: Starting with the Dog and Dragon Talismans

Levi drops into Shibuya on the worst night imaginable—with no cursed energy, no sorcerer pedigree, and two relics from another world. The Dog Talisman makes him unaging and nearly impossible to kill. The Dragon Talisman turns every strike into explosive dragon fire. Unfortunately, Sukuna has awakened, and Levi has landed directly in the path of the King of Curses. A gray mist soon links him to other Levis: Jujutsu Levi in the cursed battlefield, Night City Levi with cyberware and street-born instincts, Wizarding Levi with spellcraft, and Marvel-Vought Levi surviving a world of heroes, corporations, and monsters. Their memories and powers bleed together, merging talisman magic, cursed energy, cybernetics, and sorcery into a path no canon script can predict. As cursed spirits, ancient sorcerers, and hidden masterminds close in, Levi refuses to follow the doomed timeline. He will exploit every loophole, protect the people he chooses, and discover how far an immortal body can evolve when he learns to breathe dragon fire.
