Cursed By Eros
By @Ethan
Elian, a man burdened by a past he desperately wants to atone for, finds his world irrevocably altered by a cruel twist of fate. Every woman he encounters, subjected to his forceful touch, becomes instantly infatuated, their wills bending to an unnatural adoration. This 'curse of eros' grants him power, yet isolates him in a gilded cage of manufactured affection. As whispers of his 'gift' spread, drawing both desperate women and those seeking to exploit his power, Elian is forced to confront the moral abyss of his existence. He yearns for genuine connection, for a love unmarred by manipulation, but how can he escape a destiny that binds others to him against their true desires? The stakes are his soul, and the central conflict is the battle between a terrifying power and his yearning for authentic humanity in a world that increasingly sees him as a tool.

Shadow of the Unspoken Vow
By @Luisa Prozeller
In a realm where spoken words manifest physical magic, Ethan is born a silent pariah. Mute and disregarded, he survives on the scraps of a glittering empire powered by the voices of the elite. Everything changes when he discovers the Unspoken Vow—a forbidden, internal language that allows him to rewrite reality through silent thought alone. But this godlike cheat demands a steep toll: every silent decree erodes his own memories. When the tyrannical Voice Council begins harvesting the souls of silent outcasts to fuel their eternal empire, Ethan must rise to stop them. He faces a devastating dilemma: to dismantle a corrupt civilization, he must repeatedly use his reality-bending power, risking the permanent loss of his own identity and the very memories of why he is fighting. How much of himself can he sacrifice before he becomes the very monster he seeks to destroy?
