The Entropy Weaver's Reckoning
By @john1208
Elara Vane, born into the revered Skyborn Vane clan, was an anomaly. While her kin soared on the harnessed Celestial Winds, channeling their protective grace, Elara heard only the call of the Sunken Earth - a forbidden, forgotten realm of entropy and primordial decay. Deemed unblessed, a blight on their aerial legacy, she was exiled from the floating Aetheria. Years later, her futile attempt to reclaim a fragment of the Sunken Earth led to her desolate demise, crushed beneath ruins, her strange powers insufficient. Yet, at the brink of oblivion, the Earth itself stirred, awakening a dormant power within her. Elara awoke, a young woman once more, back on the precipice of her banishment, twenty years in the past. Armed with the terrifying, transformative essence of decay and rebirth, she is no longer the Skyborn anomaly, but the harrowing voice of the forgotten world, poised to reshape the very foundations of the Skyshard Isles.

I Vowed To Be Lazy, But The Villainess Keeps Dying On Me
By @john1208
Inspector Marek Hasek, a man whose genius is matched only by his profound laziness, is finally on his deathbed, ready for the eternal nap he's craved his entire life. But his final rest is interrupted by a vision: he’s back at the start of his most infamous case, investigating Zofia 'The Iron Widow' Niemczyk, the woman accused of orchestrating the Great Lumoss Heist that plunged the city of Praskov into darkness. Everyone knows Zofia is a monster, living lavishly off her crimes. But as Marek reluctantly relives his investigation, he uncovers the truth: Zofia is secretly funding an orphanage with her 'stolen' fortune. He finds himself falling for the woman he's meant to condemn, becoming her sole defender in a world that hates her. Just as he clears her name, she sacrifices herself to stop a city-wide catastrophe. Then he wakes up, on his deathbed, again. Forced into a time loop by a cryptic elder, Marek must repeatedly save the tragically self-sacrificing villainess he's come to love. Can a man who just wants to sleep finally break the cycle and give the city's secret saint the peaceful life she deserves, or is he doomed to watch her die forever?
