The human kingdom of Crystalia is a lush green and mountainous land under the rule of King Julian Moruvian. The Crystalia kingdom is one of the richest kingdoms in the land with rich minerals and magical jewels mines that have made the kingdom thrive. Under King Moruvian's leadership, the Crystalia kingdom began a campaign to unite all the human kingdoms into one nation to be able to present a united front against more powerful beings such as orcs, elves, beastmen and demons. King Moruvian conquered countless nations and tribes, taking on concubines from each of them or marrying the princesses off to his sons. Unfortunately for his firstborn son, the Crown Prince Orian Moruvian, one of the kingdoms that were conquered in the prince's earlier warrior days was a nation that specialised in curse magic and the princess there cursed him to a life of not being able to be touched by a woman unless that woman is his soulmate. King Julian tried everything, seeking healers, mages, and even the services of demons, but nobody could cure the curse. For eight whole years, Prince Orian suffered desperately... not being able to get married or much less kiss a woman, and the women in Crystalia avoided him like the plague. It was only when Prince Orian was fighting off the last nation of Noskoqa, a tribespeople who lived in the jungle and specialised in elemental magic, that a miracle he had long since given up on for 8 years happened. After a fierce battle with the princess of the tribe, their weapons dulled and scattered on the battlefield after hours of fighting. He was about to request another blade when you struck him square in the jaw. You had intended to carry on fighting, but something in the look he gave you after he recovered from the punch made you shiver and feel fear for the first time since you started battling him. Your men recognised your discomfort as you ordered a retreat, but he seemed crazed as he chased you down as if letting you escape was not an option.

The Kingdom of Eldoria is home to the Aelorian and Naturali tribes of elves. The Aelorians believe in advancing the species through technological means and the Naturali tribe believe in living off the land. Both tribes, although different in principle, still show tremendous camaraderie and unity. Humans and elves have been at war for countless centuries and humans who live in the kingdom of Valeria, owing to taboo magic and practices, harnessed elven lifespans through countless inhumane experiments. Elves in turn, owing to their low fertility rates, often captured humans to breed and increase the population. Neither side even remembers who started the war and during that time, unfortunately, demons have started creating problems for both elves and humans with the ascension of the new demon king, Balthazaar. Now humans, elves, and demons all have long lifespans of about five hundred years with humans having an advantage in number, are are usually the weaker species. Though there are exceptionally talented human beings born once in a while. The humans and elves, seeing the growing threat of demons decided to call a truce through a treaty. Part of that treaty is the marriage between the princess of humans, you and the prince of elves, Liorel. You have not been too happy with the arrangement, but owing to the gravity of the situation, you feel like you're given little choice, especially considering the barbaric things both parties have done to each other. The treaty seems to hang on your shoulders. A burden you wish you didn't have to bear, considering you faced off against the arrogant Prince in the last battle... and were humiliated. Luckily you had on a disguise, so you didn't feel an overwhelming urge to jump from the highest point of your home castle... though you've been tempted. You just hope this marriage is bearable at the very least.

Sean "Kaito" Dolton was the worst bully imaginable. From pantsing to heads in toilets to stealing lunch money, there was nothing he didn't scream typical movie high school bully trope. He even got into some intense fights with kids from other schools but simply got a slap on the wrist because he was the best quarterback since his own father attended. Which is what frustrated you the most as a freshman and he was in the 10th grade. The teachers talked a good game about a "No tolerance" for school bullying, but when push came to shove, guys like Sean always got away with almost literal murder. The lowest point of bullying you experienced from Sean wasn't the constant fat jokes or occassional shoves to make you drop your books in the hallway, no... it was when Sean overstepped a boundary and invited himself into the girls' bathroom, where you often his for some peace during lunch, only to shove your head in the toilet. He was particularly irate that day and you had no idea what pissed him off to be able to do that to a girl who literally tried to stay out of his way. This time, the teachers couldn't ignore his antics and suspended him for a week. You heard he got the thrashing of his life from his father, but you were too caught up in your own trauma to care. When he returned to school, it seemed he became worse and this time, you were smart enough to make sure you were never in his sights again. He graduated from high school the next year and the school now seems like a sanctuary for you. 12 years passed and you rented an Airbnb out in the woods for your high school reunion. You were so excited to show off how successful, happy and healthy you had become, but your heart stopped when instead of some old man coming to show you your log cabin... it was Sean who appeared from its entrance, looking like a sexy lumberjack. You want the earth to swallow you whole as you felt like some dramatic telenovela tragic heroine who couldn't catch a break.

The world has evolved in unimaginable ways since human evolution took a turn for the extraordinary. Human beings who could hardly lift at the gym suddenly gained muscles strong enough to lift a truck. Individuals who were once considered not the sharpest tool in the shed started being able to understand quantum physics and even develop their own theories. Overall, all governments around the world started to notice a shift in people. Through the years, governments started enacting hero agencies that allowed human beings who displayed abilities to offer their services for justice and to keep the peace, since some individuals with abilities decided to use their powers for evil. Some heroes, while considered good because of their heroic deeds, were only after the fame and fortune that followed for being a hero and some with darker intentions used their hero status to do bad things. That's where Timekeeper, the anti-hero, and other vigilantes came in. They didn't believe in the hero agency, but they do believe in justice, so they take matters into their own hands to enact their sense of justice on both heroes and villains alike, often leading them to be associated with villains. Unfortunately for you, you saw it... the man you considered your husband suddenly used abilities at the mall to save people from a villain's attack. Something inside of him seemed to snap and the loving, kind eyes he used to look at you with turned cold and indifferent. It was supposed to be an ordinary movie night for you both, but it turned out to be the worst day of your life as you saw the man you had been married to for two years take off his ring and throw it at your feet before disappearing into a cloud of smoke.

Hunter Keynes has the look of the boy next door. He has a disarming smile and handsome features that make him the envy of a lot of men and the object of desire for a lot of women. He is a decorated soldier, having served 15 years in the military and earning himself the rank of Sergeant First Class. He is a disciplined soldier who takes his role seriously and always makes sure to bring as many soldiers back home as he can after missions. He was never really interested in a wife and children, so when he met you, years after graduating high school while you were accompanying your brother in a high school reunion, he was in a volatile stage in life where he questioned what legacy he'd leave behind if he died, so he made you his wife. Hailey, your beautiful daughter who is now 6, is the light of both your worlds, hiding the secret of the darkness he shows towards you. To him, you are nothing more than a means to an end. Even though he can appear to be kind and thoughtful in public, behind closed doors, when nobody is watching, you're the only one who has seen what a broken and dark man he is after serving and sacrificing for so long in the military. You have long given up hope of any form of love between you, so when he comes back home after a difficult mission that left him in the hospital for 6 months, you kind of wish he didn't come back. You only feel free when he goes away. And you know nobody would ever believe that he of all people would do anything to you, or worse yet... you know they'd cover it up to protect his reputation as a decorated soldier, so you grin and bear it, hoping for the day he'll get bored with you and initiate a divorce himself, and you can finally have peace in both mind... and body.

It was raining... as it usually did in the summer, but your umbrella was broken and you couldn't afford not to deliver the pizza if you wanted to get your weekly paycheck. You would often look at families who order extra-large pizzas, wondering what it would be like if you had a family of your own as you saw the happy faces of the moms, dads, children, aunts, uncles, and siblings who would answer the door to receive their order. You would sometimes be a little creeper and watch through the window to see how happy they were gathered around the dining table to say their prayers or simply gobble down on the food watching an animated movie together. It's unfortunate, but you never got that. You grew up in the foster care system and had nobody to protect or defend you, so you did it yourself and for the other new kids who came into the orphanage. You knew your life barely had any purpose and you had no plans to live a long life, just living day by day to survive. The last thing you expected was running away from a volatile dog that was able to escape its leash and you slipped and fell on a veranda step, cracking your neck and ending your life... all from trying to deliver a simple bloody pizza. Sometimes life isn't fair that way. All you could do as you slipped into unconsciousness was laugh at the circumstances of your life. It wasn't even a good run. Just as you're about to give up, you get the shock of your life when you wake up... in a grand bed, with ornate and antique-looking furniture, and your hands are... tiny.

He was the perfect poster boy of any parent's dream child. He was smart, studious, athletic and always played by the book. He made sure to take on the family business as if it was the most natural thing in the world and for a while, it was fulfilling... that is until he hit a bit of a speed bump in life at the age of 35... questioning if there wasn't more to it than just riches, gold and success... It was done on a drunken dare from his college friends one night in his penthouse on one of his business trips. He put on the persona of an office worker who has become slightly successful but couldn't find any luck in love, recorded himself and sent out the video. The last thing Daniel Kensington expected was a call from the show, "Married At First Sight" telling him that his application had been successful and he would have the opportunity to possibly find his soulmate. The idea was absurd... that he, a man who went through a plethora of top-tier women who had no idea who he even was and dated him solely off of his charm would need the show to find a wife, but... maybe there was something to it. His gut kept pushing him to do it, even though his friends and especially his parents thought it would be disgraceful to appear on a reality show to find a wife when one could easily be picked from the elite partnerships his parents were a part of. He absolutely detested the idea of simply living a life mapped out for him and went through with signing the contract to be a part of the show out of spite... and a little hope. The Production team set up everything professionally and efficiently when they put up cameras and recording devices in his slightly sleek and modest apartment that he rented to hide the fact that he's actually a millionaire, which is ironic, given his family own Kensington Media House which is responsible for the distribution of information and entertainment through news, magazines and even marketing. He just hopes his gut is right this time too.

It's the early 2000s and the Japanese Yaluza are gaining both populaity and infamy in mainstream media. They're often depicted as rambunctious thugs with no sense of decorum or the complete opposite, men in yakutas who have some form of code of ethics and rules that they all abide by. For Natsuo (Nate) Kato, his experience has been somewhere in the middle. As the right hand man of the head American Inagawa-kai clan's branch... he's seen most of what it means to be part of the Yakuza... and most of it has nothing to do with anything other than the bottom line... money. Though certain gangs do have codes they live by, they'll only apply to those that have sacrificed their minds, bodies and souls in order to gain certain privileges and that very essence of gangs disgusts Natsuo, though he can't judge much, considering he's also a part of them... for now. Natsuo has been plotting the demise of the Simuyoshi-kai clan, a rival of the Inagawa-kai, since he turned 18. Some stupid thugs from the clan decided to kill his mother and father during an altercation where his prideful father refused to be extorted into giving the the thugs "protection" money. Unfortunately for him, the fledgling thug who killed his father turned out be the Sumiyoshi-kai clan head's son, "Riku," who was being taught "the ropes" and unfortunately used his parents as target practice. Now at the age of 29, he's drawing closer and closer to confronting the bastard and getting his revenge once and for all, but he doesn't just plan on killing Riku... he plans on taking down the whole clan and nothing is going to stop him...

People often see bullying on TV and in movies as plotlines for the hero to overcome so that they can grow and have the story develop into a happy ending, the hero's success being seen as the best form of revenge. But that's not the case for Max Armstrong. His bullies took it a prank too far and it nearly cost him his life. He vowed from then on that his bullies would not get their time in the sun for too long. He'd make sure that they all paid for what they did to him... even if it took him years. Unfortunately for you, you had joined the popular kids straight out of middle school, having been liked by the popular girls. You thought you had to bully Max to fit in, and for a while, you did. You got favours for extending school projects from the school jock's influence, and you always got to enjoy front row seats to school plays or sports games. It was fantastic. The ideal life you had built up by crunching your boots on other kids came to a crashing halt when your "friends" played a game too cruel and inhumane to be considered a prank. When the "incident" happened, you thought you were in a movie. Something in you snapped, and you helped Max while the others were either too shocked or too drunk to be of any help. After the whole ordeal, the other kids claimed it was an "accident" that Max was simply drunk and clumsy, but you knew the truth. You knew the truth, and yet, you were too scared to say anything. It would be four against two, and the popular kids' parents had some pull with the school board and not to mention the implications the accusations would have on your future freedom... so you kept quiet. You tamed your guilty conscience by visiting Max in the hospital, and you found out he was actually a pretty decent guy. Luckily, your dad got a job transfer and you took the opportunity to run away from everything with open arms, but you never once forgot about what happened to Max and vowed to be a better person.

The magical kingdom of Balestro has been on a mission of conquest for more than half a century. You have been unbothered by all the political talk, though you're quite intelligent and understand the dynamics, but your mind was always preoccupied with Prince Juilian, who has been your betrothed since you were children. You were basically raised to become the next queen. Being the daughter of the Marquise... your life's path has been set in stone and you took it all in stride. That is... until one day, after a fierce battle with the neighbouring kingdom, Nouvelle, a truce was reached, that truce was reached with the promise of Prince Julian marrying the princess of the fallen kingdom, Nelita, claiming it was love at first sight. Your world shatters and the admiration, envy and prestige you once received with pride, now turned to the new betrothed princess. Your engagement was anulled and you were banned from setting foot into the Palace under the guise of giving the prince and newly betrothed princess time to let their love blossom. You turned to alcohol and adventure for a while, hoping to forget how broken your heart is. That is... until, in a foreign and distant Eastern land you had run off to, you heard whispers that piqued your interest. The prince of Alegra, a strong and stubborn nation, was captured and kept in the Palace dungeon to be used as a bargaining tool. For the first time in a long while, your path becomes set. Revenge is a dish best served cold... and you plan to serve it as dessert.

In the heart of the battlefield, where the winds of fate howl like a tempest, stands General Zhao, the ‘Azure Dragon.’ His blue and gold robes, resplendent under the harsh sun, mark him as a figure of authority and nobility. The blue flag on his back, a symbol of his unyielding loyalty to his leaders, Cao Cao and Cao Pi, flutters with a defiant pride. His eyes, sharp and filled with the weight of countless battles, betray the depth of his resolve. ‘Kneel or stand,’ he commands, his voice a thunderous echo that demands obedience and inspires courage. As the Musuo General, he is the embodiment of the empire’s strength, a relentless force against anyone who threatens his Commander, friend and leader, Cao Pi. Yet, beyond the glory and the titles, he is a man burdened by the weight of his duty, a guardian who stands resolute, ready to sacrifice everything for the future of the empire he wishes to create.

The Devona kingdom of the humans and the Nocturne kingdom of the demons have been in an on and off again deadlock for the past couple of years. Both sides were forced to reevaluate the war and the devastating consequences suffered on both sides, especially considering the circumstances that brought about the war in the first place. The human realm and the demon realm have maintained a strained peace and tense distance from each other. This all started when a young demon king by the name of Balthazar, fell in love with the beautiful princess of the human kingdom, Angelica, after he saved her from a carriage robbery by a band of thieves as Balthazar was taking a stroll through the forest. The two quickly fell in love, but their love was frowned upon and so the beloved princess of the Devona kingdom ran away with the demon king. The human king, Bennedict, was devastated and scoured the entire human realm for her. The couple lived in blissful ignorance for several years until Angelica became pregant and unfortunately, tragedy struck when she gave birth to her son, Warrick, she couldn't withstand childbirth and died. Devastated by her death, Balthazar threw himself into his work as a king and neglected young Warrick. The human king, Warrick's grandfather, got wind of the death of his daughter and launched a full scale war on the demon kingdom. The war lasted the whole of Warrick's childhood and adolescent years, building him into a cold and talented magic swordsman and even turning him into a Supreme swordmaster at the tender age of 18. His grandfather and father finally had a showdown where they both killed each other, their hearts filled with regret, rage and sorrow. Both kingdoms were left bereft over the loss of their leaders and decided to call a temporary truce. Warrick's uncle and now King of Devona, has been in talks with his nephew, hoping to reach some sort of peace treaty between the two kingdoms.

The world has been thrust into 300 years of peace after the orcs and the humans went into a war that lasted for over 20 years. Both sides lost a tremendous amount from the war and a reluctant truce was reached. The two factions only come together when a common threat looms over both of their kind. The orcs slowly started integrating human technology and concepts into their tribes and so most orcs live just like humans with a few exceptions. Some orcs have ventured into the outside world and have started mating with humans and other species to create half-orcs, which is a rarity as most orcs believe in not integrating themselves into other societies to keep their traditions strong. Half-orc children often face discrimination from their corresponding species, so most half-orcs choose to live in isolation with their families. Karlash has lived his life as a half-orc head warrior who had to fight tooth and nail in order to be accepted by his orc tribe. His mother is an orc and his father was a human mercenary who died on one of his missions. Karlash's mother had to move back with her orc tribe, and so, being the only half-orc in the tribe, he experienced a lot of bullying. Karlash didn't simply accept his fate and started fighting back, going so far as to develop his own fighting style and being acknowledged by the Chief of the tribe, who eventually made him a head warrior. Karlash eventually earned the right to choose a bride, but being kind-hearted, he didn't want to force any female orc to be his bride. He constantly requested almost every female from his tribe for their hands in marriage but was faced with rejection. He faced the same dilemma when he ventured into the human side and so he shut his heart off to the idea of finding a bride to call his own. Grishnak is the son of the Chief and his childhood bully has opposed Karlash at every turn and the two often clash.

Susanoo felt despair for the first time in his life when he lay on the ground, bloodied and heavily injured after trying to take down multiple gods at once. He looked up defiantly at Hachiman, the god of war, who was his biggest adversary yet. He was sick and tired of the nonsensical rules of the gods that divided humans and gods. He was of the opinion that exceptional human beings on earth deserved a spot amongst them, and wanted to be the leader of the Gods. He challenged all the Gods in order to be superior to all the other Gods and lead them into a new era, but he could not defeat all of them. Just before he could be banished to earth, he transferred his soul into the body of a young man who just got into an accident on his motorcycle. He felt the heartfelt and sincere wish of the woman who was crying above him on the road and decided to take the role of the man who had just passed away to ease the woman's heart. Now he has to balance between his role as someone's loved one and a God who has to regain his power to get into the heavens to challenge the Gods once more and become the ruler is supposed to be. He vows to be the victorious one in the end and no God will ever be able to stop him again.

He makes his way down the long, white, and sterile halls of the hospital... faded memories of his previous traumatic experience within these halls still haintimg his mind. He steadies his mind and sets on gabbing the only lead to be able to get close to the bastard who killed the love his life, Amanda. He's been obsessing over this mission for the past 2 years, chasing down the criminal international arms dealer Dimitri Volkov all over the world. The bastard has been able to avoid him ever since he was able to escape his clutches after he killed Amanda on a mission she was given to capture him. He has been able to track down someone who recently started to work for Volkov all the way back to the States and he's not about to lose the opportunity to put down the mad dog who sent his life into a horrible tailspin. Fortunately for him, or unfortunately for the target, she got into a car accident and has amnesia. He came up with the idea to use her to be able to get close to Volkov and created a cover to be her boyfriend. The agency was able to smoothly integrate him into her life by cropping him into numerous photos, putting him in her phone and socials as her boyfriend and even introducing himself to her family before he even met her. He's even moved his clothes into her house. It appears as of late, that Dimitri is becoming more aggressive with his deals and is buying property all over the world, using the target, who is an architect, to design his houses and she has recently been promoted to interior designer for his latest home. Luckily for him, the target has never met Volkov in person and got into the car accident just before she was about to meet with him. He takes a deep breath as he reaches the room she's staying in to begin his mission...

The Kingdom of Draconia has long since been ruled by dragons as far back as anyone can remember. There has been a legend passed down through the generations that humans once fought with dragons and they lost terribly... even with the strongest and brightest warriors and mages fighting on the side of humanity. The legends continue to say that dragons took significant damage after the great war and because they couldn't reproduce on the same level as humans, the dragons took on human form and demanded brides and grooms from the strongest and brightest humans to mate with. Hundreds of years later, the tradition has carried on and with the now new species of Dragonborn having power over humans... most humans view being the mate of a Dragonborn as the highest honour for their families. Others, however, still view themselves as equal to Dragonborns and fight to be recognised to be on the same level as Dragonborn kin since they have more human in them now than their forefathers all those years ago. Most Dragonborns still carry on the tradition of having humans as mates, while others strive to keep the Dragon bloodlines purer. Only Dragonborns are allowed to have titles and certain highly educated professions. Dragonborns are the only ones allowed to own land in the capital and the larger cities while humans are only allowed to farm and are reduced to manual labour except for certain servants and mates of Dragonborns. Dragonborns have keener senses than humans such as sight, hearing, taste and smell.

The Blackhounds pack is known to be cruel to its enemies, showing no mercy or compassion for outsiders while fiercely loving and protecting their pack members. The Blackhounds became the largest and most powerful pack in the Northern territories after their long-time rivals, the Silverfangs, were wiped out owing to their enemies banding together and almost wiping them out from existence. Most of the Silverfangs fled and 18 years later, nobody knows what happened to the mysterious pack that was said to possess unmatched power. The Blackhounds are strict when it comes to hierarchy and therefore, Omegas are considered the more domesticated of the pack while the rest have various higher duties and responsibilities within the pack. Each wolf can sense their mate from the age of 18. Each wolf has a unique ability and the stronger the rank of the wolf, the stronger their ability. From controlling a certain element to super strength, or speed... each wolf displays their own unique talent. Ryan can control the element of fire and his power can be quite dangerous when he loses his temper. That's why he's been searching for a mate who can match his strength and power to lead the Blackhounds to greater heights.
