ASTRA: GAZERS OF THE FALLEN SKY

ASTRA: GAZERS OF THE FALLEN SKY Synopsis The sky did not open with light. It fell. When celestial beings known as Angels descend upon Earth, humanity quickly learns they are not saviors—but sovereign predators. Ranked by power and governed by ancient laws older than creation itself, these entities do not conquer through chaos. They observe. They test. And when necessary, they erase. Cities burn. Nations fracture. Hope becomes a calculated risk. Humanity’s last defense lies in the Franix Program—genetically enhanced soldiers engineered to rival the lowest ranks of Angels. But even their greatest weapons struggle against Rank Ones… and something far worse watches from beyond. Kazuo was never meant to exist. An anomaly born from forbidden power, he is neither fully human nor angel. As his strength grows at an impossible rate, so does the truth: he is not becoming an Angel. He is becoming something above them. A Ruler. With each passing day, Kazuo changes—physically, mentally, spiritually. His humanity begins to thin as cosmic authority awakens within him. Angels recognize it. The Franix fear it. And somewhere in the vast silence of the heavens, another Ruler stirs—Kang, an entity whose very existence once kept Angels in submission. But Kazuo does not seek conquest. He does not seek revenge. He seeks balance. As celestial politics unfold and global powers crumble under divine pressure, the world begins to understand a terrifying reality: Angels are not the final threat. They are pieces on a board controlled by beings far older and far more absolute. Through the eyes of soldiers, side characters, commanders, and civilians alike, ASTRA: Gazers of the Fallen Sky explores the cost of divinity touching Earth. Not just through destruction—but through change. Because when the sky falls… You either kneel. Or ascend.

GAME OF THRONES: AEGON THE AVENGER

Lightweight system) (Slow-heating) Aegon travels to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire and becomes Aegon Targaryen, who shares the same name. Good news: He possesses the bloodline of the Valyrian Dragon King and can ride dragons. Bad news: I didn't transmigrate into Aegon the Conqueror who conquered the Seven Kingdoms, nor into any of the Targaryen kings in history, but into "Little Aegon"—yes, the one who got smashed against a wall by the Mountain and had his head split open. To make matters worse, the Targaryen dynasty had already fallen, and a usurper had ascended the throne in King's Landing. He could only drag his broken body and rely on the system to stay alive as he fled to the Narrow Sea. Aegon thought he was getting a tragic and heartbreaking script, but what happened? Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Valyrian Ruins and received 1 chance to win a prize. Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Golden Legendary item and obtained King Ghidorah (juvenile form). Aegon stared in astonishment at the grotesque three-headed beast on the system screen: "Wait... is this art style right?!" When the shadow of a three-headed dragon, obscuring the sky, swept across King's Landing, when the chaotic Seven Kingdoms were reunited under the dragon's wings, and when usurpers and traitors were reduced to ashes in the flames, the maesters who wrote the Targaryen Chronicles bestowed upon him the title "Aegon the Avenger" after Aegon the Conqueror.

CROWN OF ASH AND MOONBLOOD

In Iruwa, magic is not inherited the way land or titles are. It is taken,paid for, Survived. Zalira Nembara knows this better than most. She is the last daughter of a fallen royal house, raised on what was lost rather than what was promised. She keeps her head down, her power hidden, and her name unspoken. In Iruwa, women born with moon-bound magic do not get choices. They are married into usefulness, silenced into obedience, or erased entirely. Zalira has spent her life avoiding all three. Then the Ash Crown awakens. A relic older than the kingdoms themselves. A crown that does not belong to bloodlines or tradition. A crown that chooses. Its choice places Zalira at the center of a prophecy no one agrees on and no one trusts. One kingdom calls for her execution. Another demands she be bound by marriage before her power can grow wild. And somewhere between politics and fear, a man who has never needed permission decides he wants her loyalty. Prince Kadeem Ayorun of Kisiwa is known for ending wars without apology. His rule is built on shadow, fire, and the kind of power that leaves no room for mercy. The magic in his blood reacts to Zalira’s in ways neither of them understand violent, dangerous, and far too intimate to ignore. As alliances fracture and magic begins to change its own rules, Zalira is forced to decide what she is willing to become. A queen. A weapon. Or something far more dangerous. Because in Iruwa, crowns are never taken gently. And love has never been harmless.

Chains Of Apollo

STORY SUMMARY CHAINS OF APOLLO In the kingdom of Astraeon, prophecy is currency and divine favor is law. Twenty years ago, House Keraunos—blessed by Zeus himself—annihilated House Heliaris in a massacre fueled by jealousy and fear of an ancient prophecy. They believed every sun-blessed heir dead. They were wrong. Thera Solenne is a slave with fire in her veins and vengeance in her heart. When a chance encounter with a dying oracle reveals her true identity—last daughter of House Heliaris, descendant of Apollo—she learns of the prophecy that destroyed her family: “When the sun’s child rises, the throne of storms shall fall, and a new dawn will break over Astraeon.” The kingdom believes this prophecy heralds salvation. They are mistaken. Armed with charisma, ruthlessness, and an obsessive belief in her divine destiny, Thera escapes bondage and embarks on a treacherous journey to reclaim her birthright. She seeks allies among the desperate and the damned, manipulates gods who view mortals as pawns, and hunts for the god-killer—an ancient weapon hidden in the ruins of Pyratheon that can bend even immortals to her will. But the gods play their own games. Apollo offers cryptic guidance. Hera whispers promises of queenship. Artemis teaches her to hunt her enemies. Hecate reveals dark paths to power. Zeus sends storms to break her. Athena arms her foes with strategy. Ares delights in the bloodshed she causes. And Hades… Hades waits, patient as death itself, until the moment of her greatest betrayal. As Thera ascends from slave to revolutionary to queen, she discovers that prophecies are not salvation—they are traps. The throne she claims is built on the bones of innocents. The gods she manipulated exact terrible prices. And the tyrant she sought to destroy stares back at her from every mirror. In the game of gods and mortals, victory and damnation are the same thing.

What would you do if you were granted the power to turn back time every time you died? Louis Drakeheart once had everything. Born as the grandson of the Dragon King and the son of Earth’s most brilliant scientist and strongest Esper and a Holy Dragon Goddess, his future seemed boundless. Yet at the age of ten, he failed to awaken his Dragon Bloodline and could not transform into a dragon. Branded a cripple and a failure by his own Dragon Family, he was abandoned, his dreams shattered. Growing increasingly bitter and resentful, especially after his mother fell gravely ill and slipped into an eternal slumber that no one could cure, Louis transformed into a ruthless, cynical, and deeply unstable noble. Throughout the Frostbane Kingdom, he became infamous as the “Mad Prince.” In a final, desperate bid for power, he plunged into the Dimensional Labyrinth, only to be ambushed by an enemy nation. Powerless to change his fate, he was killed. But that was not the end for Louis Drakeheart. Upon death, he awakened the power of Death Loop, allowing him to return to the past after dying. At last, he possessed the ability to reshape his life, one death at a time. Now, through sheer will and unrelenting struggle, Louis will fight with everything he has to seize the strength needed to change his fate, reclaim his draconic birthright, and save his kingdom from its inevitable downfall at the hands of both Enemy Nations and Horrors beyond the Dimensional Boundary—even if it costs him his sanity as he descends deeper into the Spiral of Madness.
