The Ash Bender's Redemption
By @kaila112
Kaelen, an outcast ash-bender, bears the stigma of a power long associated with decay and destruction. His world, once vibrant with elemental harmony, now slowly succumbs to the encroaching Ashblight – a creeping malady that drains life and leaves only dust. Haunted by a past tragedy where his unique ability seemed to amplify ruin, Kaelen lives in self-imposed exile, shunning the very power that flows in his veins. He believes his bending is a curse, responsible for past calamities. But when the Ashblight intensifies, consuming revered elemental sanctuaries and threatening to engulf his last remaining haven, Kaelen is forced to confront not only the world's prejudice but also his own deep-seated fear. His ability, once deemed a curse, might be the only salvation, if he can learn to wield the essence of endings to forge new beginnings against the enigmatic Obsidian Lord and his relentless advance, before all turns to dust.

The sun and sky
By @Oneplustwo
In the Realm of Dionysus, destiny is a cruel jest. Abel Seter Von Adalin is cast aside by his noble family, deemed a failure for his inability to cast standard academy magic. Yet, he holds a secret: the eidetic memory of a past life and the forbidden primordial runes. At the prestigious Academy of Wondrous, his path collides with Serafall Babbluly, a scorned bastard daughter who secretly harbors the peerless sword mastery of a reincarnated Sword Saint. Bound as partners, these two outcasts must navigate a cutthroat academic hierarchy. However, their personal vendettas are soon eclipsed by a darker truth. A millennial-old conspiracy, orchestrating the rise and fall of empires, drag them into a cosmic war where the gods themselves are the players, and human souls are the currency. To survive, they must unite his ancient runic intelligence with her lethal blade, defying the heavens to carve out their own stolen destiny.
