Chronicles of the Phoenix's Wake
By @susa lu
In a world teetering on the brink of collapse, Elara, a petite but fiery Chef de Rang with striking red-blonde hair and unsettlingly bright green eyes, finds her mundane life shattered. Despite her youth, she shoulders immense responsibility, constantly compensating for a perpetually understaffed hotel. One fateful morning, a blinding migraine heralds not pain, but power – the Phoenix's Wake, an ancient ability to manipulate time, rewinding moments of chaos to prevent catastrophe. Yet, each rewind leaves a fragile imprint on her soul, threatening to unravel her sanity. When a mysterious anomaly begins to fragment reality itself, Elara must master her volatile gift to protect the innocent, even if it means sacrificing her own existence, all while battling the creeping suspicion that her very existence is a cosmic mistake.

By @Ma Baba Enterprise
In a world shattered by the Great Sundering, where magical ley lines now pulse through urban ruins and monstrous 'Echoes' hunt the unwary, Ashryn finds himself bound to a sentient, parasitic shadow. This shadow, 'Rhoss', grants him superhuman speed and strength, but demands a toll: feeding on the raw emotions of others, particularly intense thrill. Ashryn, haunted by the loss of his family to an Echo attack and wracked with guilt over his inability to protect them, is forced into the dangerous role of an underground 'Thrillsmith', baiting and battling Echoes to satiate Rhoss and survive. He dreams of using Rhoss's power to discover the truth behind the Sundering and prevent further tragedies, but his dependence on the shadow forces him to flirt with darkness, risking his own humanity in a desperate quest for redemption. Can he control the monster within, or will it consume him entirely?
