She did it. She destroyed it. Now they can't come and invade the earth. Or any other planet, right? Right? Oh little did she know...

In a distant realm where magic thrives, ferocious beasts shake mountains and rivers with their mighty roars, and individuals wield superhuman strength capable of reshaping their surroundings. It is a magical world where the strong rules. But rampant corruption and chaos exist, where slavery, rape, murder, and discrimination against the weak were all but common. The magically superior people trample over the lesser unfortunate folks, using them as stepping stones and disposable assets. All hope for these downtrodden souls seems lost, but the wheels of fate have other plans for them. In a faraway ocean, one that is filled with demons and sea monsters, a great technological civilization suddenly appeared, one that came from a world that is only filled with chaos and destruction. This civilization became the heaven for people seeking a stable and peaceful life. The Earth rose and seas parted ways, and the environment had totally changed for its adaptability. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of this great technological civilization are all but manaless, arriving in a world where they are seen as inferior and as slaves. How will they react of finding themselves in a world where people can split mountains or bend the fabric of space, and where beings exist that even conventional weapons cannot defeat? How will they survive against deadly monsters, magical beasts, and superhumans that could threaten entire nations? And how will the other powers that exist in this world react to a powerful, advanced nation filled with a race they deem inferior? This is the story of one of the most powerful empires on Earth, and how it broke the balance of power and rose to the top.

❝Death is like rain. When it comes, you get drenched. When it passes, part of it sticks with you for a while. Some people get over it. They move on; get dry; forget. But so long as you let the storm keep coming, the rain won't ever stop. Then, before you know it, everyone is dead. Everyone including you. So get up. Stop worrying about the damned rain and start thinking about what's on the other side of that storm: Survival.❞ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ The people aren't quite people anymore. From here on out, you shoot to kill.

Phoebe Oh is seventeen, a competitive swimmer from Rancho Santa Margarita, balancing senior year at Santa Margarita Catholic High School with the relentless demands of Irvine Novaquatics. Her life is defined by routine-early mornings at the pool, long drives to swim meets, laughter with her closest friends, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing exactly who she is and where she's going. Sound is everywhere, and it means nothing. In June 2020, a sudden and catastrophic invasion turns Los Angeles into a battlefield. Creatures that hunt by sound reduce cities to silence within hours, and the world Phoebe knows collapses in panic and confusion. As the military fails and survival becomes instinct, Phoebe learns that the discipline she once used to shave seconds off her races now determines whether she lives.

When the enigmatic Death Angels descend during a European vacation in Valencia, Spain, Kaitlyn and her friends are thrust into a fight for survival.

"The eyes... reflect what the brain perceives. Like a mirror to view and see. But some mirrors are more different than others. Some are cracked, while others are shattered.

In June 2020, Madison Yang-a 17-year-old swimmer and orchestra student at Syosset High School-lives a life built on rhythm: early practices, crowded hallways, late-night texts with friends, and the steady comfort of water. Alongside her best friends and teammates Sasha and Natalie, Madison believes her world is predictable, even when the outside news feels heavy and uncertain. But as seasons pass from Halloween lights to championship nerves, from winter city streets to spring protests, everything begins to shift. And when a long-awaited trip to Cape Town, South Africa turns into something unthinkable, Madison and her friends must rely on instinct, loyalty, and the one thing that has always kept them alive: motion. They will run, hide, fight to stay quiet... and ultimately chase the ocean toward escape-toward Mauritius, and then a faraway life still filled with sound: Melbourne, Australia.

Twenty years have passed since the fires of the Union-Earth-Confederate War were extinguished. In this new era of the 2040s, the two Earths and the magical realm of Falmart have achieved the impossible: a tri-world golden age of peace, science, and magic. This prosperity is guarded by the USKA (United States Kitsune of America) and their formidable inter-dimensional allies. ​But peace is a fragile mask. When a massive rift portal tears open in the center of the Atlantic Ocean, the USKA's expeditionary forces step through, expecting a new frontier for diplomacy. Instead, they find a world of nightmare. ​In this new realm, humanity has turned its back on magic, launching a genocidal Great Witch Hunt using cold, heartless technology. When the USKA witnesses the public execution of innocent magical beings and the cruelty of the Redia Empire, the mandate of peace is shattered. ​The United Three Worlds cannot stand by as a mirror of their own dark history repeats itself. It is no longer just an expedition-it is a liberation. As the USKA's fleets, German-Rus Armor Battion and Falmart's dragon riders clash with the mechanical might of Redia, a new question arises: In a world that has already chosen hatred, can peace ever truly be won, or this world must be leveled to the ground?

As monstrous beings-drawn only to sound-tear through cities across continents, Jamie and her friends find themselves stranded in Naples on the day the world collapses. Their only hope lies across the water, toward Sicily; one of the last places where life still dares to be loud.
