Broken Vows and Ruthless Ruins
By @Ali Enci
For six years, Aria Belmonte believed her future was secure in the warm, loyal embrace of her sweet boyfriend, Julian. In their magic-integrated society where aristocratic bloodlines dictate corporate and political power, Julian's love was her sanctuary. But sanctuary crumbles when Julian’s elite parents arrange his marriage to a high-born heiress to salvage their family's falling empire, leaving Aria shattered. Enter Kaelen Vance, her cold, ruthless classmate who possesses the forbidden 'Aether-binding' crest. Kaelen is a boy who despises weakness and has traded barbs with Aria for years. Yet, after catching her weeping on the academy rooftop, he swallows his immense pride and offers an ultimatum: 'Use me to move on. Let's burn their perfect world down together.' Aria refuses - not because she cannot hurt Julian, but because she fears the terrifying, dark gravity of Kaelen's offering. To survive the social war, she must choose between a dying love and a dangerous, vengeful alliance.

Infinite paradox
By @Goodluck Akinsanola
Alok, a spectral figure shrouded in an aura of cold detachment, walks the hallowed halls of a prestigious academy, a living paradox of immense power concealed beneath a stoic exterior. He wields the terrifying 'Voidheart' - grey flames that can erase targets from existence, leaving no trace. Yet, his true battle isn't against rivals, but the suffocating emptiness within. He seeks knowledge, driven by an insatiable, unspoken hunger for answers, hoping to fill the void left by a forgotten past. Unbeknownst to him, his very existence is a cosmic anomaly, a glitch in a universe meticulously designed to maintain balance. As whispers of an encroaching cosmic horror begin to seep into the academy's ancient stones, Alok must confront not only external threats but the terrifying truth of his own origin and the catastrophic potential of his abilities, for the universe itself hinges on his awakening.

The Sweetest Sabotage of Porto Zeffa
By @john1208
Pellita Marno is thrilled to receive a mysterious crate of highly volatile Snap-Peppers on the first day of her final exams at the Zeffa Culinary Conservatory. Assuming it’s a generous gift from a secret admirer, the kind-hearted baker whips up a legendary spicy jam - completely oblivious that her childhood best friend, Briska, sent the peppers to blow up her kitchen. Briska has bound herself to the Fate-Siphoning System, tasked with stealing Pellita’s luck by making her fail every major exam. But the system's insidious rumors are laughed off by Pellita's fiercely loyal friends, and its lethal traps only help Pellita accidentally impress Casimir, the academy's notoriously grumpy prodigy. What Briska missed in the fine print is the System's strict thirty-day trial period: if the host fails to steal the target's destiny in time, the system automatically reports them to the royal guard for magical fraud. As the final exam approaches and Pellita continues to kill her rivals with kindness, will Briska's escalating desperation finally crack Pellita's sunny disposition, or is the cheating system about to serve up cold, hard justice?

Pardon My Undead Rebellion
By @john1208
In his past life, Omid was a coward. When the skies tore open and the Extinction Event began, he hid in the deep dunes, watching humanity turn to ash from the safety of a cave. Now, thrust ten years into the past with the powers of a Supreme Necromancer, he has a second chance. His master plan? Stay completely out of the spotlight, pose as a pitiful Sand-Rat Summoner at the prestigious Qaf Citadel, and secretly stop the apocalypse. But staying anonymous proves impossible when he attends the disastrous engagement party of Shirin, his secret crush, who is being politically forced to marry Kamran, the violently arrogant son of the Guild Master. Omid is cripplingly shy, but he is also unbearably stubborn. He refuses to let history repeat itself. Between dodging the manipulations of a tea-obsessed elder and trying to suppress an aura of death that rots the academy gardens every time he gets nervous, Omid's low-profile life is crumbling fast. When Kamran finally pushes his bullying too far and threatens Omid's only friend with lethal force, the elites are about to discover the terrifying truth. Can a wallflower save the world without dying of embarrassment first?
