Two heroes. One has made his name in the cold, while the other has spent a lifetime twisting unseen forces. They want the same thing, but they’re on opposite sides. Can a teleportation accident help them find what they’ve each been missing all along?<br><br>Gin got his code name because his namesake liquor lives in the freezer, just like him. He can control ice to an extent never seen before, and he uses that power to help keep the world safe from those who would use their power for evil. He knows he’s got a tremendous ability to destroy, and it’s important to keep himself rigidly under control at all times. His work in Alter Enforcement brings him into direct conflict with vigilante alters, who may want to help people but refuse to be accountable in how they go about it.<br><br>Smoke doesn’t trust “authority figures” and he definitely doesn’t trust the government. He didn’t trust them before the terrorist attacks that created Alters in the first place, and he sure doesn’t trust them now. He’s not going to let government Alters stop him from taking out dangerous super-villains in the name of procedure. Sometimes that means he has to fight people who should be on his side, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles.<br><br>When Gin’s team and Smoke’s team trip over each other trying to take out a notorious super villain, disaster follows. A teleportation accident strands Gin and Smoke together far away from each of their teams. They have to rely on each other for safety ... and maybe more.

A young maiden of humble background finds herself thrust into the world of a terrifying folklore. The distinction between fiction and reality blurs every once in a while, and Airin is left navigating a strange world with nothing but the deadly pull of fate, and her will to live. There is no smoke without a fire, as there are no myths without an origin, and legends; without heroes. (Disclaimer! Cover not mine.)

20 million years ago, the Great Earth was home to humans and energy parasites called Osmo. Humans were relentlessly hunted as the primary power source for the Osmo, whose creator was the feared Lord Oki. Three supreme beings, the Infinires, rose up and, after a ten-day battle, sealed Oki using their own bodies. This catastrophic event split the planet into Venus, Earth, and Mars and nearly caused the extinction of the Osmo. Before his sealing, Oki hid a fragment of his energy within a wooden frog. Decades later, a young boy found it and absorbed the power. Twenty years passed until, by a miracle, his wife became pregnant, giving birth to the first child to be born from Oki’s energy. This energy was passed down through the generations, creating the "Children of Oki" and reintroducing the Osmo to the world, now feeding on human emotions. A new lineage of "good" Osmo, created by the Infinires, also emerged.

What if one morning you woke up with no memories? What if all you had was a video message you left for yourself, warning you that you were in grave danger? What if the only way to survive was in discovering what you forgot? And what if your biggest enemy was yourself? ** "There is a bug. It allows unmitigated access to the users' consciousness. You're the only one who knows. You must stop the release. You must stop them." That was the primal directive. Min needed time to understand, to accept. But time was the one thing he didn't have. He woke up with no memories. He only had the one video message he left himself to work with. The video told him he was a beta tester of Gaia, and he had discovered a bug that could very well be intentional. What he was asking of himself was to be a hero. But was that what he wanted? Was that really him in the video? If it was him, why go through all that trouble? Why did he delete all of his memories himself? Who were the people helping him from the shadows? Were they friends? Or, were they something else entirely? Who were those that were after him? Were they all related to Gaia? Or were there other secrets too? School was the perfect refuge. Friendless and unremarkable, he couldn't be hidden better. But with less than three months to graduation, he was running out of time...

Desmony is a Blue-flamed phoenix that have been captured by Kace: a young boy who belongs on a small branch of a very influential family, despite this Kace never got much attention until he opposed his uncle, head of the big family who wants to turn the jungle that Desmony lives in to a large city.

Note: The update routine for this book will be as inconsistent as oobleck. Also I guess I should say the book will have... A strong language not suitable for kids.
