The 104th overseer
By @Baby Juice
Two centuries ago, a single misstep by sixteen-year-old Caleb Lords unleashed the Great Catastrophe, an event that reshaped Earth and earned him an eternal prison sentence. Now, 216 years later, Caleb escapes his confinement, a ghost in a world brimming with advanced technology and commonplace 'Gnome' abilities. He accidentally slays the weakest of the immortal Overseers, inheriting their enigmatic Architect System, a power he barely understands. Branded a world-ending threat by the remaining 103 Overseers, Caleb must outwit an entire council of ancient beings. His only hope lies in his unique biological adaptation, an ability that relentlessly evolves his mind, body, and instincts with every challenge, transforming him from a hunted fugitive into something far more dangerous. Survival demands not strength, but cunning, invention, and an unbreakable will to adapt.

By @Raihandi Al Falaqy
Samir, an outwardly cheerful man, holds a secret: his unique cultivation method transmutes intense happiness and pleasure into spiritual energy, a power he uses to navigate the cutthroat world of modern finance. What starts as a simple quest for personal tranquility soon plunges him into a hidden society of cultivators masquerading as corporate giants. His daily life is a tightrope walk between maintaining his public persona and secretly honing his forbidden power, which coincidentally makes him outrageously successful and wealthy. But as his influence grows, so does the scrutiny. Unbeknownst to him, a shadowy organization seeks to monopolize all forms of spiritual energy, seeing his unconventional 'Happy' cultivation as both a threat and a lucrative resource. Samir must learn to wield his pleasure-derived power not just for wealth, but for survival, as he uncovers the sinister truth behind the world's most powerful elite. His ability makes him a target, forcing him to decide if his happiness is a shield or a weapon.

But as a nascent humanity rises, their quiet existence is shattered by a creeping fear: the fear of discovery, the fear of judgment. Now, Lara must choose between protecting her ancient companion and risking everything to save a species that may never understand them, all while battling the insidious threat of her own overwhelming empathy.

Life
By @Tshiamo Machete
Gally, a cynical twenty-something, thought her life was going nowhere as she scratched a persistent itch on her lower back. But that itch was a nascent tattoo, a living sigil that pulsed with untold power, slowly embedding itself into her very being. Now, mundane New York City alleys hum with a forgotten magic, and shadows lengthen with monstrous entities lurking just beyond perception. Gally's mundane existence shatters as she's thrust into a clandestine war for the soul of the city, forced to master her evolving abilities or watch the concrete jungle she calls home crumble. Can she overcome her deep-seated apathy to protect a world she never truly cared for?
