Wangan Race: Drift of Destiny
By @Fairus Okta
In the neon-drenched underbelly of 1999's Wangan Race scene, Furuya Arato, a gentle soul with grease on his hands and a ghost in his past, finds solace behind the wheel of his souped-up Nissan. What no one knows is that Furuya possesses the 'Phantom Drift,' an uncanny ability to anticipate and execute maneuvers that defy physics, making him an unstoppable force on the asphalt. He only races for spare parts and anonymity, haunted by a street race accident that claimed his younger brother. But when a ruthless syndicate, led by the enigmatic 'Apex,' starts coercing racers and threatening to expose his past, Furuya must either embrace his legendary potential or watch his world, and everyone he protects, burn in the exhaust fumes of destiny. The very streets he cherishes become a battleground for his redemption.

Radiant Scourge
By @Matias Perez
In a world shimmering with innate magic, Zac, a hot-headed sixteen-year-old, and his younger sister, Liria, are anomalies - born utterly devoid of power. Their mundane existence in a vibrant village is a constant reminder of their 'lack.' Yet, a whispered legend of Radiant Insects, luminous creatures capable of bestowing magic upon the bitten, offers a glimmer of hope. These insects follow a strict power hierarchy: green, blue, purple, and the fabled golden, with an almost forgotten myth of the ultimate Rainbow Insect. When Liria falls gravely ill, Zac stumbles upon a green Radiant Insect, and its bite awakens within him an extraordinary, unprecedented control over minerals. Now, armed with this unique, unpredictable power, Zac must brave a world that scorns the magicless, seeking a cure for his sister and an answer to the world's greatest magical mystery, even if it means confronting ancient orders and monstrous magic wielders.
