In a world ruled by endless oceans and buried legends, survival is decided by strength—and the sea remembers everything. Thalren, a boy who should have died, awakens from the depths with no past, no purpose, and a darkness within him that even the strongest fear to face. As monstrous sea beasts roam and whispers of ancient rulers—the Sea Kings—echo beneath the waves, Thalren begins a journey not to become a hero, but to understand what he truly is. When a calamity that annihilates elite hunters suddenly spares him, it becomes clear: something inside him is not human… and not meant to exist. With a ruthless swordsman, Kaizen, walking beside him, and a world slowly revealing truths it tried to bury, Thalren steps forward into a path where power demands sacrifice—and the ocean itself watches. Because in the end, the greatest threat isn’t the creatures lurking in the abyss… it’s the one rising from it.

The Nova Wave: a phenomenon that altered the Earth and every living thing inhabiting it to its core. Sarah awoke in a post-apocalyptic world with memories that were not her own, no food, no water, or even a pair of clothes. Sarah must find a way to survive in this new world that's filled with danger around every corner and where even a harmless-looking tree could be a danger to her very own existence. Thankfully Sarah finds comrades on her journey to find civilization. A bear that towers over buildings and a messenger that just happens to cross paths with her.

When the boundaries between worlds begin to fracture, a hidden war spreads across the multiverse—one that no single universe was meant to face alone. At the center of this growing disturbance is Yuriko Misaki, a warrior whose existence defies the natural order. Tied to powers far older and deeper than she understands, Yuriko finds herself drawn into a conflict that stretches beyond time, space, and destiny itself. Her strength is undeniable—but the truth behind it remains a mystery even to her. As the multiverse destabilizes, the Power Rangers Super Megaforce are forced to confront threats that do not belong to their timeline. Enemies appear without warning, histories clash, and battles are fought with consequences that ripple across worlds. What once was a familiar fight for Earth becomes something far larger—and far more dangerous. Unknown forces move from the shadows, manipulating events and shifting warriors between universes like pieces on a cosmic board. Allies and enemies alike are pulled into conflicts they never chose, while ancient powers quietly prepare for a war that could rewrite reality itself. In a multiverse where survival depends not only on strength but on understanding one’s place in the greater design, Yuriko and the Super Megaforce Rangers must stand against the unknown—before the worlds collapse into one final, irreversible outcome.

“When fate closed the door to strength, it opened one to something deeper—an ancient power, and a purpose the world has yet to see.” Riven Stormbrand was destined for greatness. Born with a soul of rare purity, he was expected to bond with powerful magical beasts, rise through the ranks, and carve his name into legend—just like the heroes in the diaries of Van Helsing, the greatest Beast Master in history. But fate had other plans. During the sacred Beast Tournament, where the strongest youth fight for the right to bond with rare creatures, Riven’s future shatters. A fragment of an ancient being awakens and merges with his soul—granting him mysterious amber mana, but devouring nearly all of his soul space. Now, he’s unable to bond with any beast above the lowest tier. Once praised by nobles and envied by his peers, Riven is quickly forgotten—pushed aside as a failure, a pitied shadow of what could have been. But behind that loss lies something far greater: the power to fuse the souls of slain beasts and create new, unique companions the world has never seen. As chaos stirs beyond the kingdom’s walls, and monstrous threats loom on the horizon, Riven's power may be the key to survival. His path is no longer the one of a beast tamer… It’s the path of the First Fusion Master.
