A false prophecy, a conspicuous birth, a sinister ritual and a wholehearted sacrifice. These were the elements that set the Cosmic Gears in motion of this world. It all relied on the variables, Lucien Alaric and Mikaela Howell. Having had a warm childhood was something they were always proud of, at least until they unveiled the illusion of this false happiness. Their moment of joy was apparently measured and limited. “The truth will be revealed to you when you awaken... Believe nothing but what you have witnessed and judged yourselves as the truth... Your enemies are closer than you think... Trust no one!” This were the words the children were left with. Their parents' dying words. Not words for children to live with, right? Clip sneak peek~! "What do you feel?" she asked. "Nothing..?" Mikaela responded, holding his sword tight at hand. In truth, to him, it was no different than cutting down a training puppets head. A tedious endeavor. "Good, you should spare no feeling to enemies, my child," a clear serene voice sounded, like the sweet whisper of the devil. In the air was the fishy rustic iron smell, the scent of human blood. Not just a splash of it but a mass graveyard pool of it. The heavy smell of death. Mikaela stood in the middle of this with calm eyes. The killing intent in his eyes seemed to have become deeper and richer. Lucien is born a mage while Mikaela is born a martial artist. They have distinctly opposing personalities and would rather stay away from each other, but destiny has other plans. They have to unite in the face of the upcoming trials of fate. One loss, spells death to both of them! No compromise! The sacrifice made to protect them drives them to face each day while vengeance motivates them to grow stronger. What kind of future shall they pave in the veil of uncertainty and hidden truth? While Lucien and Mikaela walk different paths, they ultimately have the same destination. The Apex!

Vladimir was brought into a world of a novel: Unforgiven world of the depraved. Weirdly enough, he reincarnated into a character that was supposed to be dead. An unfortunate child who met an untimely death. He embarks on a journey to explore the world and find his calling, whatever that may be. The Victorian era in the golden machinery age is faced with a decade long war where he meets several characters of the novel destined for death. Some deserving while others, simply unfortunate. As an orphan, Vlad knows well the life of the unfortunate. The bitter taste of reality and the sheer unfair class and hierarchy system. All this and many things he hates are brought to light. The details he missed while reading are now more clear. This is his new reality. Vladimir knows the fate of this world. Such a sinful god forsaken world is only destined for destruction. He also knows the judge of that. The mysterious final boss living in a secluded place waiting for the time to come. The moment of judgment and the beginning of rapture. *** ‘While I don’t want to do this, I have little choice in the matter. I have to save my own skin, and the only way to do that is to grab the thickest thigh which is also the most dangerous… what a predicament!’ he lamented. Vlad stood outside of the opened iron gates with an imposing aura. He raised his head and stared ahead and took a step forward with an unwavering smile. “I know on the other end is hell, an abyss, the devil's layer and my worst nightmare! However, it still holds strong magnetism over me, my body, my soul. I can’t resist. I am only human, at least I thought I was.” Disclaimer: The cover art is not mine.
