THE LAST REUNION

PaulKenny_1993
Six Friends. Five Years. One Secret. Five years ago, Skyler left the peaceful, quaint town of Harmony in his rear-view mirror and vowed never to return. But the past has a way of catching up with people. Skyler is invited back to his hometown to attend a reunion. Upon returning, he's greeted with a warm welcome by his old friends, but some wounds don't heal enough over time, and Skyler remains distant to two friends in particular: the bride and groom-to-be. After catching up and revisiting his past life, the friends get back to their old ways, and everything seems to be going smoother than they could have ever imagined. But when the friends each receive an envelope with nothing more than their names on each one, they're hesitant to open them, but once they do, the message reads: I KNOW YOUR SECRET The friends quickly dismiss the letters as a prank and seemingly go on with their day. But when one of the group is attacked by someone wearing a long raincoat, and their face hidden behind the shadows of their silhouette, the group starts to believe that it wasn't just a prank; it was a warning. As the tension mounts, the group suspects one another. They're forced to revisit the secret they all buried deep in their past, and a secret that was sworn to never be spoken about again is now the one thing that may hold clues to stopping their stalker once and for all.

Reincarnated As Bait, Evolved To A Deity

Evan Mercer died unable to finish page 212 of the book he was reading. He thought that was the end. Instead, he wakes up as a minnow in a poisoned swamp, and for the first time in his life, he can breathe. It’s a very small second chance. It’s also a very dangerous one. Two hundred years ago, the portals tore open and the world changed overnight. Monsters poured through. Guns, missiles, and bombs barely scratched them. Humanity survived only because a handful of people awakened mythic abilities, and they’ve been fighting ever since. They’ve clawed back 60% of the planet. The other 40% still belongs to the monsters. Evan was born in the worst corner of it. The swamp is a Level 3 danger zone, cut off from every city and hunter guild. The miasma twists everything that lives there. Even the smallest creatures glow. The things in the deep are so much stronger than anything above them that Evan can’t even read their levels. They show up as question marks. It’s a closed world with a cruel ladder, where every rung eats the one below it. But Evan's got a status panel, a unique skill called Absorb, and a stubborn mind that refuses to stop asking questions. He can eat to grow stronger. He can fuse skills, unlock mutations, and push every ability past what it was meant to be. He doesn’t know what he’ll evolve into. The panel only displays: Available forms: ??? He doesn’t care. He wants to find out. Because beyond the swamp is an entire world he’s never seen. Dungeons that swallow cities. Guilds that rank people like weapons. Beings who can erase a city with a single move. And things above them that even those beings are afraid of. Evan is small. Evan is hungry. And Evan is absolutely not going to spend his second life hiding in a log. He’s going to eat his way up the food chain, climb out of the swamp, and see every impossible corner of this magical world. One bite at a time.
