“The world was saved. But Gohan was not.” After the brutal end of the Cell Games, Earth breathes a sigh of relief. The planet is safe, the villain destroyed and Son Gohan, now the youngest Super Saiyan 2, is hailed a hero. But beneath the cheers and smiles, something has broken inside him. Goku is gone. Forever. And Gohan blames only one person, himself. He could have ended it sooner. He could have saved his father. But he hesitated. He showed mercy when he should’ve finished Cell. Now, that guilt festers like a wound that won’t close. In this alternate timeline, Gohan doesn’t return to books, peace, and school. He doesn’t try to live a “normal” life. Instead, haunted by the weight of his mistake, he throws himself into training, with ruthless obsession. He rejects comfort. He pushes away his mother, his friends, and even Piccolo. All that remains is his drive, to become stronger, to never fail again. But power has a price. As years pass, Gohan evolves far beyond what anyone imagined. His once gentle heart becomes hardened. Cold. Even dangerous. He surpasses his father. He surpasses the gods. But in his pursuit of strength, Gohan begins to walk a razor-thin line between hero and destroyer. When new threats emerge, from the shadows of the multiverse and the ruins of forgotten timelines, Earth will need its protector once again. But this time, they won’t get the boy they once knew. They’ll get the warrior he’s become. This is the story of a Gohan who never stopped training. A Gohan who never healed. A Gohan who chose power over peace.

In the burned lands of Netheros, where red skies weep ash and the soil remembers screams, a young Mal’karin girl named Nyra watches her world turn to fire. Branded as a monster for the horns on her head and the shadow in her skin, she survives the purge of her village, alone, wounded, hunted. Crossing into the Mortal Realm of Elyriath, Nyra becomes a ghost in a world that wants her erased. Beaten, hated, and nearly killed, salvation comes not from a blade, but from a boy, Siegfried, a human with too much kindness and too little sense. As Nyra hides in the woods and heals in the shadows, the world moves against her. Whispers of a demon child reach knights sworn to cleanse the realm. But the longer she survives, the more questions arise. What really caused the purge? Why do the crows always watch her? And what is the power sleeping beneath her scars? In a world built on hatred and fear, They Called Her Demon is a dark, emotional coming-of-age tale about identity, survival, and the bonds we choose, when the world offers none.

Everyone else is desperate to live. But June? She has nothing to lose. With no powers, no allies, and no fear, she becomes the one thing this world never expected, a wild card.

In a world ruled by humanity's iron fist, all non-human kingdoms, elves, vampires, goblins, dragons and more, are labeled as monsters and exterminated without mercy.

Until one mission changes everything. When his squad slaughters a goblin village, Axel stumbles upon a crying child clutching her dead parents and something inside him breaks. For the first time, he disobeys. For the first time, he protects a "monster." Now branded a traitor, Axel is hunted by his own squad, the very people he trusted most.
