The Abyss: Humanity's Uprising

In 2045, humanity’s age of prosperity was shattered when the Abyss Gates erupted across the world. Within days, monstrous beasts spilled forth, immune to mankind’s strongest weapons. Nuclear fire burned only the weakest of them; cities fell in hours. For twelve long years, the war raged, and Earth’s population collapsed to less than five billion. But the Gates carried more than death. They radiated Abyssal Energy, mutating the land, flora, and fauna—and awakening humans to superhuman potential. These new warriors, called Hunters, turned the tide. With their strength, humanity reclaimed fragments of their world, built colossal walled cities, and mined the alien realms beyond the Gates for exotic metals, energy, and weapons. Four great nations rose from the ashes: Northern Virelia, Thryssia Expanse, Oryndor Reach, and the Highlands of Aelvorn. Yet Earth is no longer the only battlefield. As Gates multiply, rifts stretch further into the cosmos. Explorers and Hunters begin venturing beyond, encountering alien civilizations scarred by the same nightmare, and uncovering ruins that speak of an intelligence older—and far darker—than the Abyss itself. Whispers spread of a truth too vast to comprehend: the Gates are not a natural calamity. They are a design. The Abyss Beasts are but pawns, and the true enemy is waiting, watching, and hungering for the essence of entire universes. Humanity’s survival is no longer just a war for Earth. It is the opening move in a struggle that spans the stars.

INFERNO REDEMPTION: LEGACY OF DAWNSTRIDER

In a world where the sky is torn between the light of Elysion and the darkness of Tartarus, an eternal war threatens to shatter the balance of nature. Azraelis, the Dark Sovereign enthroned upon bone and obsidian, has risen with a single goal: to eradicate humanity, which he sees as weak, hypocritical, and deserving of subjugation. Aided by his three lethal generals—Nekron with his breath-stealing sword, Zephiron with his twin bloodthirsty blades, and Belial with his soul-crushing hammer—he unleashes the armies of Tartarus to turn the world into an ocean of suffering. But behind the walls of Elysion, humanity's last city, hope still remains. Ken, a mysterious assassin from Viman'Pura, emerges from the shadows—a living weapon who is cold, efficient, and harbors a great secret: human blood flows in his veins. With the ability to manipulate mist and lightning, he becomes the final barrier between Tartarus and the extinction of mankind. Yet, every step he takes is shadowed by pain and sacrifice, and a longing for a home that is lost to him. On the other side, two former Tartarus generals—Danteus and Hector—have chosen the path of betrayal to atone for the sins of their past. Danteus, with his human-like face and hellforged power, finds peace beside Liora, a tomboyish mage who teaches him the meaning of acceptance. Meanwhile, his brother Hector prefers chicken noodles and stray cats to violence—until he is forced to take up arms once more to protect his new home. Together with King Gaius, who leads with a rusted sword and the courage of the common people, they must fight not only for survival, but to prove that even from the deepest darkness, the light of redemption can still shine.
