The world plunged into an age of apocalypse, dyed crimson with blood and ash. Vibrant cities became grotesque ruins, spawning ravenous monsters and terrifying Awakened. Rune was once a brutal dominator, a symbol of power in this desolate new era. His hands were stained with the blood of countless enemies, his will an unyielding iron that tolerated no betrayal. Yet, it was those he trusted most, those he fought to protect, who plunged knives deep into his back, stripping him of everything: power, status, and the last vestiges of his humanity. Left for dead on the precipice of oblivion, Rune's soul twisted with unimaginable agony. In that moment of absolute despair, a horrific power erupted within him – Flesh Manipulation. Now, with a mere thought, he can contort muscle, shatter bone, and reshape living matter according to his cruel will. He can erupt with razor-sharp claws, morph his body into an impenetrable biological shield, or twist his foes into screaming, unrecognizable masses of organic horror. Rune rises from the ashes not as a hero, but as the very embodiment of vengeance. Every step he takes marks the end for those who betrayed him. Dark conspiracies are exposed, and rotten alliances crumble beneath his brutal hand and grotesque power. He is no longer the arrogant leader of old, but a living nightmare, an unstoppable storm of destruction. Witness the bloody path of Rune's relentless revenge and the thrilling, gruesome action that unfolds. In this ruthless world, compassion is a forgotten luxury, and only the strong dictate destiny. Will he complete his horrifying vendetta, or will he become an inescapable monster, trapped by his own destructive power?

Angel & Agent

Angel & Agent

'One Shot' is the nickname of the best sniper and secret agent who's about to get a promotion - if this mission goes well. But little did he expect to meet an 'Angel' on the roof that night who'd mess up his chance. But that is only the start of the weekend. The drunk angel is not who she seems to be, and soon, both fall into a web of intrigues they might not get out alive. Watch out for this action romance drama! If you only have one shot, you better make it count. Weekly updates planned. SPOILER ALERT: Now for those who want to figure out the story and the character background themselves, I'd advise you to stop reading from this point as the next paragraphs will contain SPOILERS of season one and the characters. SPOILERS AHEAD! (proceed with caution): Three candidates have made it to the final round to the next promotion as top secret agents. Alexander (aka "One Shot") with a perfect record is in the lead; Jack, a self-proclaimed rival, is close behind, and unknown to both, a third candidate is in the race: Angelica (aka "Angel"). The two followers pursue different strategies to make One Shot fail: Jack wants to make him mess up, but his plan fails when Angel interferes. She has a different motive: to make him choose her out of his own volition and give up his position as a secret agent for love. Jack mistakes her for One Shot's girlfriend and changes his plan. His new idea: kidnapping Angel and threatening One Shot to give up the promotion. Things become even more complicated when friends and family become involved, an ex-best friend's betrayal with the ex-boyfriend, and a wedding. Who of those three will win the promotion? But maybe more importantly, what are their motives behind getting it? A new order comes in and only the one who successfully finishes this will be promoted. The mission: find the traitor among the spies.
