Make The Elves Great Again
By @David Tangcalagan
Four centuries before Ainz Ooal Gown's arrival, the New World languishes in barbarism, its demi-human tribes squabbling for scraps. Decem Hougan, an elf of unparalleled ambition, awakens to a chilling truth: his race, once proud, is fading into irrelevance. Gifted with an unprecedented increased level cap, Decem is not merely strong; he possesses the potential to shatter the very limits of this primitive world's power system. Yet, with great power comes a terrifying isolation. He will stop at nothing to restore elven glory, even if it means forging an empire through blood and subjugation. His ruthlessness knows no bounds as he carves a path through the wilderness, but ancient powers stir, threatened by his meteoric rise. Can one elf truly reshape destiny, or will his relentless pursuit of greatness consume him and the world he seeks to dominate?

Vacuum Ascendant
By @Nicolas Andersen
In a modern world where supernatural abilities are mundane, Elias, a cheerful teenager, possesses the seemingly useless power to create small vacuum pockets. Unbeknownst to society, this "weak" ability harbors an impossible evolutionary path. When Elias inadvertently stumbles upon the truth - that every power can transcend its perceived limits - his life shatters. His innocuous breeze ability twists into something terrifying, capable of crushing mountains and ripping apart the very fabric of reality. This awakening makes him the prime target of the Obsidian Hand, a clandestine organization that has guarded this world-altering secret for centuries, ruthlessly eliminating any who dare to unlock their true potential. Elias must master his escalating power and outwit an ancient conspiracy to protect not just himself, but the freedom of all awakened.
