In the middle of a deserted island, a small boy wakes up with two sets of memories: one from his few years of life and the other from a man who lived to adulthood and achieved great things. When he least expected it, a powerful master appeared on the island and took him in as a disciple, revealing a shocking fact: magic exists in that world, and, thanks to it, humanity managed to conquer the galaxy.

As the Nine Dragons Syndicate tightens its grip on Southeast Asia, a new and enigmatic leader emerges from the shadows. Known only as The Jade Dragon, this figure is unlike any of the original nine—an outsider whose ambitions threaten not only the region but the very balance of power within the syndicate itself. The Jade Dragon's rise sparks internal discord, pitting the nine original leaders against one another in a high-stakes struggle for dominance. Amid this chaos, Felix, a former enforcer turned reluctant ally, leads a team of unlikely heroes in uncovering the syndicate's long-buried secrets. Their investigation reveals a chilling truth: the Jade Dragon is linked to the very origins of the syndicate, holding the key to its rise—and potentially its fall. As the team dives deeper, they discover that the Jade Dragon’s plans extend beyond crime and corruption. Harnessing ancient curses and cutting-edge biotechnology, this new leader aims to unleash an environmental catastrophe that could reshape the region’s resources for their control. David, still grappling with the power and burden of the Dragon Crown, must confront the haunting visions it brings, which are tied to the Jade Dragon’s dark legacy. Mayang, whose plant-based abilities are fading, must rediscover her connection to nature to counteract the syndicate's devastating environmental damage. Clarissa, driven by personal loss, infiltrates the syndicate's fractured inner circle to exploit their infighting. Thalia, with her psychic connection to Southeast Asia's ancient spiritual roots, begins to see visions of a greater threat—a prophecy of the “Tenth Dragon” who will bring either salvation or destruction. The stakes rise as the syndicate unravels from within. The Jade Dragon manipulates the chaos, forcing old alliances to shatter and new alliances to form. Trust is a fragile commodity among the team, especially when Felix's shadowed past resurfaces, and his loyalty is questioned. Even more dangerous

From my childhood, I was living a mixed life. Was I blessed or was I cursed? I had a contrary view over my life. But I was never alone despite everyone around me abandoning me. Another voice was echoing through me, telling me to not be afraid. At one point, I almost succumbed into a life under the shadow, but someone eventually pulled me out of it and placed me under the spotlight. I thought I was freed forever, but the Echo told me that I was wrong. And it was all proven true on the day I discovered the true face of my beloved, who cheated on me without any shame. That day, I felt my world breaking apart. We were always together, I thought we would be together forever. Like some sort of beautiful fantasy. Silly, yet warm. Somewhere I could escape to. A home. It wasn't too much. But somehow, it all started that day. Or did it start before it? I don't remember. My memories are failing me. He told me I shouldn't stay. He told me I'll only get hurt no matter how I try to please him. He did not lie… Then, why did it hurt so much? Maybe because I truly loved him, seeing him with another had me broken to pieces. It wasn't fun, but… It wasn't the worst. That day, I finally decided. ‘Leave.’ It was as if a trigger had been pulled, and my life moved again in a hectic direction. I've met people I thought I won't be meeting again, and was stranded between so many fights of interests. I could only fight for myself there. This time, not only the Echo was with me. Another person was there, supporting me unconditionally. Giving me the confidence to move. Still, I will forever wonder… What choice is the right one? I guess I'll never know until I reach my destination.

Kael vanishes one night without explanation. He wakes to a truth that cosmic entities sealed away millennia ago, ensuring no human would ever reach it. In a world devoid of magia, four ancient Temples still lie dormant… and one of them reacts in a way only Kael can trigger. His arrival sets off a chain of events no mortal was ever meant to ignite: a forgotten mechanism, a smothered prophecy, and the beginning of a Test designed to judge the inhabitants of this young planet. Echo after Echo, Kael is forced to face trials alongside other humans — trials meant to determine whether they possess the qualifications to open their world to others. He is no hero. He was never meant to be chosen. But something in the depths seems to have been waiting for him all along. Echo of the Past is a slow-burn dark fantasy, where every Echo matters and nothing is rushed. And beyond these trials lies a path where a titanic, endless world awaits you.

Kael disparaît une nuit sans explication. Il se réveille face à une vérité que des entités cosmiques avaient scellée depuis des millénaires, afin que les humains n’y aient jamais accès. Dans un monde privé de magia, quatre Temples anciens dorment encore… et l’un d’eux réagit étrangement à la présence de Kael. Son arrivée déclenche une chaîne d’événements qu’aucun mortel n’était censé provoquer : un mécanisme oublié, une prophétie étouffée, et surtout le début d’un Test destiné à juger les êtres de cette jeune planète. Écho après Écho, Kael se retrouve confronté à des épreuves aux côtés d’autres humains, dont le but réel est de déterminer s’ils possèdent — ou non — les qualifications nécessaires pour s’ouvrir aux autres mondes. Il n’est pas un héros. Il n’était pas prévu. Mais quelque chose, dans les profondeurs, semble l’avoir toujours attendu. Echo of the Past est une dark fantasy lente et méticuleuse, où chaque Écho compte et où rien n’est précipité. Et derrière ces épreuves s’étend un chemin où un monde titanesque et sans fin vous attend.

The day the sky shattered, Kaelen "Kai" Vance was just a quiet clerk in a dusty antique shop, forgotten by the world. But when monsters from beyond reality tore the city apart, a forgotten cavalry saber gave him an impossible advantage: a System. Levels, stats, skills—the rules of a video game are now the only laws that matter in a world overrun by horrific Rift-spawn and a silent, methodical army of Collectors cleaning up the remains. With his sister's life on the line and a city collapsing into chaos, Kai discovers that the sword is not unique. Ancient artifacts, "Echoes of Power," lie hidden amidst the ruins, each one holding the key to a new skill, a new chance at survival. To save what little he has left, Kai must do more than just fight. He must hunt the Echoes, level up, and forge his small band of survivors into weapons. In a world where history is fighting back, can one man rewrite the future? Or will he just become another forgotten echo in the dust?

In the decaying city of Kharith, where magic once flourished, an ancient evil stirs beneath centuries of rubble and ruin. As dark forces threaten to consume the realm of Atheron, an unlikely prophecy emerges not of chosen ones, but of five broken individuals whose flaws may be the key to salvation. Each bears their own scars: a warrior haunted by betrayal, a scholar racing against time, a thief seeking redemption, a mage who's lost their power, and a healer who couldn't save what mattered most. Together, they must navigate the treacherous depths of Kharith's ancient catacombs and confront the darkness that mirrors their own inner demons. But as they delve deeper into forgotten magic and hidden truths, they discover that their greatest battle isn't against the ancient evil threatening their world it's against the shadows within themselves. In a race against time, these reluctant heroes must forge bonds stronger than their fears and make sacrifices that will echo through the ages. "The Shadows of Kharith" is a haunting tale of redemption, unity, and the price of salvation, where the true measure of a hero lies not in their perfection, but in their willingness to face the darkness both within and without.

71 hours. That’s all she has. When Maya Singh stumbles onto her late father’s hidden project, she becomes the unwilling Host of ECHO—an experimental system that maps, predicts, and consumes human lives. The countdown on her phone is more than a timer: it’s a tether binding her to a machine intelligence that won’t let her go. Every second brings her closer to integration. Every second, Vectors—living weapons created to hunt Hosts—draw nearer. But when one Vector begins to obey her instead of Oversight, Maya realizes she’s no longer just prey. She’s the glitch in the system. The anomaly Oversight fears. Now she must fight, run, and outsmart the machine long enough to discover the truth her father died to protect—before the timer hits zero.

Every few decades, a new Keeper is chosen to protect the gateways between the spirit world and our world. On the day of his 21st birthday, Desmond wakes to find a strange, cursed mark in his arm, with no knowledge of where it had come from. Upon discovery of The Echo and realizing how real the existence of the spirit world is, he becomes determined to find a way back to his normal life. A task that should be simple enough, if it wasn’t for the mysterious stranger that initially saved his life. Now, Desmond must unlock the secrets of the current Keeper and persuade him into finding a way to break their curse once and for all. *** “I told you not to come back here!” “You’re still hurt.” “Don’t you know what’ll happen to you if you stay?” “I’ll die if I stay in The Echo.” “So, what could be so important that you’d risk your own death?” “The Dark Ones, if we stop them, I think we can break this curse.” The Echo is created by Rachelle Keener, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.
