In the ashes of a dying world, a girl of fire meets a man forged in silence. When Aera Solis is pulled from a crumbling city by Kael Riven—an emotionless tactician who sees humanity as data points—she enters a realm of steel corridors and shadowed minds, where peace is engineered like war. But Aera carries something the Architect of Silence cannot calculate: the echo of something older than machines—hope, chaos, and flame. As war rages and empires fall, two souls on opposite paths must decide whether the future will be built through control... or kindled in fire.

Waking up in an alleyway in Gotham City was not how Ethan Reyes expected his day to start. The last thing he remembered was crashing on his couch after a long gaming session, only to find himself in a world he recognized all too well—one filled with gods, monsters, and vigilantes dressed as bats. It took him a moment to realize the city wasn’t just a detailed dream. The distant sirens, the oppressive skyline, and the neon flicker of a nearby ACE Chemicals sign confirmed it. This was Gotham. And that was bad. Then came the pain. It burned through his veins like molten fire before settling into his fingertips. A strange, instinctual urge filled his mind. His gaze landed on the dumpster beside him. Scattered around were a broken switchblade and a rusty pipe. Before he could think, his hands moved on their own, touching both objects. A pulse of energy surged through him, and suddenly, the two items fused—the broken switchblade now embedded itself within the pipe like a makeshift spear. "Holy—What the hell was that?" Experimenting further, he picked up a discarded smartphone and a pair of cheap sunglasses. Another pulse of power, and—bam—a pair of futuristic-looking AR glasses now rested in his hands, displaying HUD information in his vision. That was when it clicked. He had a power—an ability that allowed him to fuse objects together. The results? Unpredictable. Some combinations worked beautifully, while others... not so much. And in a world where Batman, Superman, and the Joker roamed, a power like this was both a blessing and a curse. Survival in Gotham Ethan quickly learned that Gotham was not kind to the weak. Without money or connections, he had to rely on his ability to survive. His first breakthrough came when he fused a lockpick set with a stolen smartwatch—creating a device that could crack digital locks. He used it to raid an abandoned weapons stash, arming himself with gear of his own making. He also experimented with weapons. A standard pistol fused with a flashlight? Now it fired tracer rounds that illuminated targets. A crowbar fused with an electric baton? A shock club capable of stunning enemies. But Gotham was filled with predators. And soon, they noticed him. The Underworld Calls Word spread fast about a "mystic craftsman" who could create bizarre but powerful items. The underworld took interest. First came the low-level thugs, hoping to use him for their own gain. Then came the bigger players. The Penguin wanted to recruit him. Black Mask wanted to own him. And the Joker? He just wanted to see what happened if Ethan fused a grenade with a rubber chicken. It was Batman who intervened first. The Dark Knight, ever the strategist, saw the potential of Ethan’s abilities. But he also saw the danger. In the right hands, Ethan could change the landscape of warfare. In the wrong hands? He could unleash nightmares. The question was—whose hands would he end up in? Survive or Be Consumed As the months passed, Ethan found himself walking a razor’s edge. If he wanted to thrive, he had to be smart. He had to stay ahead of both heroes and villains, mastering his power before someone forced him into a corner. Because in Gotham, there were only two kinds of people: Those who adapted. And those who became stories whispered in the dark.

Etheria is a continent bathed in the radiance of celestial magic, where mortals forge Starlight Pacts to wield cosmic power. But this gift comes at a dire cost—overuse of magic crystallizes the flesh, turning its users into fragile statues that eventually shatter into stardust. A millennium ago, the eldritch deity known as "The Maw of the Void" was sealed away, yet its Shadowblight corruption still creeps across the land, devouring forests, twisting beasts, and erasing history itself. Now, as the stars above Etheria grow dim, the Church of the Celestial Dawn preaches that this is divine retribution—while the truth lies buried in the ruins of Fallenstar Citadel, the forsaken city suspended between heaven and oblivion.

In the peaceful (if slightly peculiar) village of Laurel, Milo Greenroot just wants to take naps, sip questionable tea, and avoid anything that smells like responsibility. Unfortunately, when you’re the village’s only certified herbalist—with a knack for mixing explosive potions and accidental truth serums—peace is never on the menu. Joined by his sarcastic best friend Luca and his overly responsible apprentice Alma, Milo stumbles from one cozy catastrophe to the next: gossip-fueled uprisings, potion-fueled hiccup plagues, and cats with better judgment than most adults. As strange brews stir stranger consequences, Milo finds himself helping his neighbors in unexpected ways—and maybe, just maybe, discovering that even the laziest herbalist has a part to play in something bigger (like saving the town from its own chaos). A heartwarming, laugh-out-loud slice-of-life adventure with potions, peculiar villagers, and the power of tea-induced honesty.
