The World of Dhenshin

The World of Dhenshin: After a mysterious and intentional attack leaves his house in ashes and his mother—a Master Rank Mage—dead, a young man named Sogha is left with a burning need for strength. Despite possessing no detectable mana in a world ruled by magic, Sogha undergoes years of grueling physical conditioning under a legendary warrior to master the Zen Zhi pillar, the martial art of absolute evasion and phantom-like movement. His journey leads him to the Capital and the prestigious Great Mage and Warriors University, where his path converges with other elite teenagers. During the sacred Spirit Resonance ceremony, Sogha’s results defy the laws of magic, showing a glitched **ERROR** status and manifesting a terrifying, high-level Demon Spirit. Alongside him is Elphyete, an agonizingly shy elf with world-shattering Creation Magic and an Archangel God spirit, and Euphyne, a flamboyant noble whose power scales with his own massive ego. Rewarded with a private mansion for a heroic deed on the road, the trio is fast-tracked into the elite Class A1, joining seven other "Stars" who represent the most dangerous young talents in the kingdom. Their introduction to university life is anything but academic. Led by Sir Vael, a lazy but god-like "Otherworlder" who operates outside the world's laws, the class is immediately thrust into a trial of survival within a void-like dimension of pure light. Forced to abandon their individual arrogance and coordinate as a single unit, the Ten Stars must prove they have the resolve to survive a teacher who views the fabric of reality as a playground.

Affection: True Love

"I sold my soul to save their smiles. I will burn this Kingdom to hear her screams." For Alaric Vane, survival was never about himself. It was about the Grey Cradle, the only home he ever knew. When the ruthless Kingdom of Oakhaven decrees the destruction of his orphanage, Alaric chooses a fate worse than death. He crawls before the City Governor, Lunate Kenet—a woman whose beauty is as lethal as her cruelty—and signs a four-year contract of absolute enslavement. Within the blood-stained halls of the Kenet Estate, Alaric becomes a "human rug," stripped of his name and dignity. For two agonizing years, he endures Lunate’s heels on his back and her family’s sadistic whims. But in the dead of night, Alaric is no longer a slave. He is a predator in training, performing 15,000 sword swings in the shadows, fueled by a single hope: the day he will return to his family. Then, the world turns upside down. After two years of hell, the Kenet sisters suddenly shift. The kicks turn into embraces; the cold glares turn into a suffocating, twisted obsession. Lunate, the woman who broke him, now wants to possess his heart. But it is too late. Upon the completion of his contract, Alaric discovers the ultimate betrayal: The Grey Cradle was razed to the ground three years ago. The silence he endured for years wasn't protection—it was a void where his world used to be. Believing his family dead and his sacrifice a cruel joke, Alaric’s love for his masters turns into a dormant volcano of rage. He will climb the ranks, gain the King’s favor, and return as a Count to dismantle the House of Kenet from the inside out. He doesn't want their newfound affection. He wants to watch them fall into the same dirt where they once forced him to crawl. A four-year contract. A lifetime of vengeance. In the world of Terris, affection is the deadliest weapon of all.

THE MARK OF CONVERGENCE

When the sky tore open and dimensions collided, Ji-hu lost everything. In sixty seconds, the world ended. Roads became alien landscapes. Monsters poured through reality's broken seams. Ji-hu's parents died. His fourteen-year-old sister Hana saved him from drowning. And in the chaos, he killed something with his bare hands—an act that would haunt him for years. In the aftermath, the survivors changed. Some awakened with powers tied to what they endured during that first minute. Fire for those who burned. Water for those who drowned. Strength for those who refused to die. Hana awakened the next day, became a prodigy, rose to S-rank—the highest tier of hunters who now fight to reclaim a broken world. Ji-hu awakened three years later. Too late. Too weak. D-rank, the lowest rung, with unstable dual affinities that sputter and fail when he needs them most. Taken in by Yuna, a shopkeeper with her own losses and a small dojo she's trying to turn into a guild, Ji-hu begins the long climb from nothing. But something is different about him. His growth doesn't match his rank. His power grows twice as fast as it should. And deep inside, a mark he doesn't understand is changing everything. As Ji-hu fights alongside Yuna—clearing small zones, gathering artifacts, building something from nothing—he begins to close the gap between himself and the sister he could never protect. But the world is changing again. Bigger threats are coming. And the rift in the sky is still there, waiting, unreachable. Somewhere on the other side, something is watching. And it's not done with Earth yet. --- A story about family, loss, and the slow climb from nothing. About the gap between who we are and who we need to become. And about the marks we carry—visible and hidden—that shape our fate.
