Defy The Alpha(s)

Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

Défier Les Alpha(s)

Deux siècles après la Grande Guerre, la paix entre les humains et les loups-garous a finalement été atteinte, du moins tout le monde le croit. Les loups-garous règnent comme des dieux, et les humains restent dans une ignorance bienheureuse de leur véritable place dans le nouvel ordre mondial. Pour maintenir cet équilibre fragile, chaque année, une poignée d'humains "chanceux" sont sélectionnés dans divers districts pour assister à l'Académie Lunaris, une institution prestigieuse qui promet gloire, statut et une chance de côtoyer l'élite. Ceux qui sont choisis sont acclamés comme les quelques chanceux, destinés à épouser de puissants alphas et à s'élever en tant que luna. Cette année, Violet Purple est parmi les élus, à la surprise de tous. Pour une fille orpheline adoptée par une prostituée déshonorée, c'est un ticket en or pour une vie meilleure ou du moins c'est ce qu'on lui dit. Mais l'Académie Lunaris n'est pas le paradis qu'on décrit. Tout ce que Violet et ses camarades humains ont appris est un mensonge. Les humains sont loin d'être égaux ; ils sont des pions dans un jeu bien plus vaste. L'académie n'est rien de plus qu'une cage dorée, et les étudiants sont des agneaux menés à l'abattoir, des jouets pour les alphas dans leurs jeux impitoyables. Pour aggraver les choses, Violet attire l'attention des joueurs les plus dangereux dans ce jeu, les Quatre Terreurs : l'Alpha du Nord, l'Alpha du Sud, l'Alpha de l'Est et l'Alpha de l'Ouest. Chacun est plus dangereux, plus tordu et plus puissant que le précédent. Mais même entre eux, les alphas sont divisés, chacun poursuivant ses propres ambitions mortelles. Pourtant, ils ont tous les yeux rivés sur elle. Ils s'attendent à ce que Violet suive le mouvement, tombe dans les rangs comme les autres qui vénèrent à leurs pieds, qu'elle casse sous leurs jeux. Mais Violet n'est pas comme les autres. Elle refuse de s'incliner. Elle va tous les défier.

Ela se recusa a se curvar. Ela vai desafiá-los a todos.

What is a siren?
In League of Legends, Siren referred to the equipment known as the Siren Killer. Different heroes had different compatibility with the Siren Killer due to their own skill characteristics. For example, Urgat's W skill characteristic allowed it to produce the Siren Killer, and the first special effect item from Akshan was also suitable for the Siren Killer. The Siren Killer had a unique special effect that could provide true damage. This true damage would not be affected by any hero's damage reduction in the game.

Legend of the Siren
The Siren Killer was a Mythical equipment in League of Legends (before the adjustment of the Mythical equipment system in the 2024 season). Its attributes included an additional 60 points of attack power, 25% attack speed, and 20% critical strike chance. It could cause 80 - 120 True Damage and every Legendary equipment would grant other equipment 10% attack speed. It cost 3400 gold coins. The special effect of the Siren Killer was that every third attack would be strengthened, causing additional true damage. This characteristic made it suitable for AD heroes who could quickly use multiple A attacks or attack special effects, such as Vayne, which was an effective equipment choice for fighting tanks. Among the Mythical Equipment recommended by Felix, there was also the Siren Killer. It was suitable for heroes with high attack speed. It could ignore armor and deal a lot of damage to make up for the lack of damage and avoid scratching damage. However, the Mythical equipment system in League of Legends had many drawbacks. It would be adjusted in the 2024 season. Although it was not clear whether the Siren Killer equipment itself would be deleted, the additional attribute bonuses for other equipment would be deleted. The specific values should also be adjusted.

Excalibur 2 Siren
The Siren in Excalibur 2 was a character with a unique charm. Her mech looked like a Gundam, but the design was even more extravagant and exaggerated. The overall design was elegant, gorgeous, and domineering. The finished product was matched with a variety of accessories, making it extremely mobile. In terms of models, Shouya had a related Siren model. In November 2024, it was announced that a brand new Siren model would be released in May 2025 at a price of 13200 yen (tax included) and 12000 yen (tax excluded). The model was about 300mm tall and was made of high-quality materials such as PS, POM, PET, and ABS. It used multi-colored plastic technology to reproduce the elegant and unique appearance of the Siren. The interchangeable arm accessories could reproduce the two classic positions of the Siren, which improved the interaction of the model. The flying base was equipped to maintain stability during the display. The colors of the Siren were recreated in the game through multi-colored plastic. The wings and halos were presented with PET resin, making it more dynamic. There was also a remake of the classic Siren mech model in 2022, priced at 13200 yen, scheduled to be released in July. The novel,"Alien Hotel", is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

What is Siren Fiction?
Siren fiction typically focuses on the idea of sirens. Sirens are often seen in ancient Greek mythology. In siren fiction, we can expect to see themes of temptation and danger. For example, a hero might be lured by the siren's song and have to fight against the urge to follow it. It can also explore the nature of the sirens themselves, whether they are truly evil or just acting according to their nature.

What is a siren novel?
A siren novel is likely a type of novel that involves the concept of sirens. Sirens are often mythological creatures, half - woman and half - fish in many stories. So a siren novel might be a story that revolves around these alluring and mysterious beings, perhaps with themes of temptation, the sea, and adventure.

LOL Siren Revise
The special effect of the Siren Killer was no longer to repeatedly trigger the same target to increase damage, but to cause higher damage to low HP units. The effect was stronger when hitting fragile skin, and the effect was worse when hitting a full HP tank. The Sea Demon's attributes now increased attack power, attack speed, and movement speed, allowing the attack speed champion to better pull. The damage bonus was changed from AD/AP double bonus to level bonus. The special effect damage was changed from basic 40 - 80+ 0.65 AD bonus to 140 - 310 fixed damage that grew with level. The growth formula was fixed at 140 before level 9 and +17 points for each level after level 9. This change reduced the hero's demand for attack power, but increased the level dependence. The team adjusted the Siren Killer to be a game at the beginning of the game. For the ADC, if they wanted to skip the critical hit rate and reduce the damage output of the three-piece set, they could choose the Siren Killer to gain some early advantage. However, it turned out that the opportunity cost of skipping the Siren Killer was too high and it was too strong for these heroes. Therefore, the team specially lowered the damage that the Siren Killer provided to the ranged heroes and weakened the kiting ability that the harpoon provided for them to pull the melee. Specifically, its movement speed would go from 7% to 5%, and if it was knocked down (it could be a related attribute, speculated based on the information provided), its effect would go from 140 - 310 to 80%(112 - 248) for a ranged hero.

League of Legends Siren
In League of Legends, the Siren Killer had different considerations in the selection of equipment for different heroes. For some heroes, the siren killer had a special value. For example, Urgat's W-skill had a fixed attack of three times per second, which could trigger the attack special effect. Moreover, the true damage of the Siren Killer would not be reduced, so Urgat could kill the Siren Killer. Carter's ultimate attack effect would not reduce the true damage of the siren killer, so Carter could also choose. For an ADC, the Siren Killer was a choice at the start of the game. If you want to skip the critical hit rate and gain an early advantage, you can choose the Siren Killer, but you have to bear the risk of reducing the damage output when you set the three-piece set. The damage to the ranged hero has been reduced, such as the movement speed reduced from 7% to 5%, and the damage reduced from 140 - 310 to 80%(112 - 248). The Sword Saint's Q skill could add special effects to the attack, but the Q skill could not trigger the attack characteristics of the Goat Blade Sea Demon. In the case where the Sword Saint needed to fight, special effects were still a better choice. However, there was no more information about the specific connection between this and the Siren Killer in the Sword Saint's equipment. For Werewolves, in a rare few matches where their side's damage was extremely low and the opponent had a special lineup such as Sword Saint, Samira, and Carter, the hero would use Siren Destruction (which might be similar to the Siren Killer) to ensure that he could kill the opponent steadily. However, this situation was special and did not have universal value.
