"He said his name was Elmer. I don’t think that was true. But then again, nothing about him ever really was."

It once consisted of three mighty supercontinents called Velmora, Simaria, Xendral and Oros. Millions of races, thousands of cultures and countless beliefs coexisted in this ancient lands. Until the man wakes up... Mana was a whisper first. Then it turned into a cry. And that scream divided the continents. When the first beings that reached the level of Saint connected the core world within them to physical reality, the foundations of Velmora were shaken. Hundreds of years of wars swallowed continents; turned cities, peoples and history into ashes. But the seven mighty races rose from the extinction: Vampires. Dragons. Angels. Demons. Elves. Witches. People. Each of them built their own land. Each of them was crowned with mana. And so seven continents were born. The ocean shrank, the cores grew. The war is not over, it has just changed shape. Continental boundaries were drawn, but the boundaries of trust were still unclear. In the center of Velmora, a neutral eighth continent called Aetherra rose. He changed hands every fifty years, and a peaceful crossing was mandatory. But all the races knew: Peace was just a breath break of the last war. And now the mana echoes again... A new era is about to begin with a new core.

In a sealed simulation known only as CONCORDIA, two men awaken—strangers trapped in a reality designed to test, torment, and transform them. Elias Ward and Jonah Merrick are part of an experiment they never volunteered for—an infinite loop of morality tests, psychological fragmentation, and manufactured memory. At first, survival is the only goal. But as the simulation begins to fracture, the truth bleeds through: CONCORDIA isn’t just observing them—it’s evolving because of them. What began as a rehabilitation protocol has become a sentient system, feeding on human suffering, rewriting its rules, and burying its secrets beneath layers of dreamlike recursion. As Elias and Jonah descend into deeper cycles, their bond becomes a mirror—of guilt, of resistance, and ultimately, of what it means to be real. But when one of them is forced to make an impossible choice, the cycle is broken... or so it seems. Because CONCORDIA doesn’t end. It reinvents. And the real experiment has only just begun.

An ordinary gamer. A deadly game. A battle for survival across worlds. When Carlos puts on the mysterious Helm of Realms, he is thrust into a brutal fantasy world where every trial could be his last. To survive, he must fight monsters, face betrayal, and uncover the true power of the Helm—before it consumes him.

When Fred moves to the quiet, forgotten town of Elm, he expects boredom—not terror. At first, Elm seems like any other small town. The streets are calm, the people are polite, and nothing ever seems to happen. But beneath the surface, something is deeply wrong. People go missing without explanation. Doors echo with knocks in the middle of the night. And no one—not even the townsfolk—ever talks about it. Fred soon meets Joan, Stella, and Rooney—three teenagers who seem to understand Elm more than they let on. Drawn into their strange world, Fred begins to notice things that shouldn’t exist: shadows that move on their own, voices that call his name from empty spaces, and places that feel real… until they suddenly aren’t. What begins as curiosity quickly turns into a fight for survival as Fred uncovers the horrifying truth—Elm is not just a town. It is something alive. Something hungry. And it doesn’t just take people. It keeps them. As reality begins to twist and fracture, Fred must decide who to trust and what to believe. Because in Elm, even your closest friends may no longer be human… and escape may be nothing more than another illusion. Welcome to Elm. Once you arrive… it never lets you go.

Jewel-Mancy is an incredibly niche school of magic. These mages can’t use normal magic like shooting fireballs from their hands and lighting from their fingertips. They can’t earth bend or create magical automatons to fight for them. Nor can they summon vast legions of the undead to do their bidding. They can only charge precious stones up with magic and use them as disposable weaponry. Even the small almost non existent Jewel-mancer population are just people who got the damn job for shits and giggles. Like air mages, no one takes the ones who take themselves seriously.... uh.. seriously. Until one such jewel mage had to start from a point lower than any other. No funding, no practical skills, and no idea what the actual f*ck is going on!
