Andrew’s hands curled into fists at his sides, nails biting into his palms. The hum of machinery in the medbay felt a thousand miles away, distant and irrelevant against the roaring in his ears.

Taylor shifted awkwardly, clearly sensing the crack in Andrew’s usually unshakable composure. Dr. Yuen lowered his eyes back to the monitor, his jaw clenched tight.

Andrew swallowed hard. His voice, when it came, was rough with strain.

“What do we do?”

Yuen hesitated. “I… I don’t know yet. This isn’t something I’ve ever seen. I can keep stabilizing her physically, but the genetic evolution is... accelerating.”

Andrew turned sharply toward the small observation window where Hannah lay resting.

Pale. Fragile. Unaware of the war raging inside her blood.

The child inside her — their child — was feeding on the Ashblood awakening.

Growing stronger. Faster.

Too fast.

If they didn’t find a way to control it…

Andrew clenched his jaw. "No. I won't let that happen."

At the dining table, Andrew

  • The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain    Poor Background

    It was seven o'clock in the morning, and Wilson Bridge College, one of the most prestigious universities in Lantana City, was bustling with a large influx of students heading to their various classes.Among the crowd stood Andrew Everest, a twenty-one-year-old college student with silver hair. He wore his eyeglasses and carried his bags, weighed down by the heavy books he lugged around every day. He was an orphan who had to fend for himself entirely.Having lost his mother just a year ago, Andrew was rejected by his family members, leaving him with no one to take care of him. Furthermore, all the properties left by his late father had been taken by his uncles, leaving him with nothing. The hardship of trying to support Andrew as a single parent had taken a toll on his mother's health, and due to a lack of money, she passed away in the hospital.Andrew always regretted his perceived incompetence in raising enough money to take care of his mother.As he made his way towards the lecture

    Andrew was thrown to the floor by Stanley, his body bleeding profusely. Every blow from Stanley caused immense pain, rendering Andrew unable to move any part of his body. He felt as if the entire world was on the verge of collapsing around him. Unknown to him, a small trickle of his blood made its way to a green ring on his hand. The ring possessed a golden band with a delicate green gem embedded in it. Suddenly, the gem emitted a faint green light, coinciding with Andrew's eyes beginning to glow. Lying weakly on the ground, Andrew sensed a profound energy surging within him. It was as if the very essence of power was coursing through his veins. "Hahahah! A penniless freeloader like you can't even handle a single blow from me," Stanley jeered, relishing in Andrew's helpless state. Andrew's blood boiled upon hearing these words. Though he lacked the strength to stand, he could no longer tolerate Stanley's taunting. "I am not a freeloader!" Andrew retorted defiantly, his voice fil

    "What on earth is happening here?" Andrew abruptly released Stanley's hands, unaware of the sheer force within him that had caused Stanley's bone to break.Stanley felt an incredible amount of pressure and pain from Andrew's hands, and he couldn't help but wonder how a small, slender person like Andrew, who didn't possess much physical strength, could withstand his punch so effortlessly and not only that had the power to shatter his fist.Stanley was bleeding as he turned his gaze towards the source of the voice, he noticed it was a lecturer. In an instant, he decided to portray himself as the one being bullied.The lecturer's attention immediately focused on Hannah, who was lying on the ground. Stanley, clutching his broken fist, spoke up, "Andrew! I told you to leave Hannah alone, and now you've attacked me. Why are you acting so wicked?" Stanley's words caught Andrew off guard, leaving him momentarily stunned.Despite his pretense of sobriety, Stanley couldn't hide the wicked smir

  • AshBlood

    In Iceland, deep within the frozen North, the Vatnajökull glacier cracked apart like a shattered mirror. Great jagged faults split the ice, The sky above churned, thick clouds swirling in unnatural patterns, forming a spiral no meteorologist could explain.Thousands of miles away in India, monsoon rains poured from a clear blue sky, flooding villages not in July, but in early spring.And in Chile, at the base of the old volcanoes near Atacama, molten cracks spiderwebbed across parched ground. The mountains growled, as if waking from millennia of sleep.In each place, small groups gathered. Hidden sects. The descendants of those who had always known this day would come.They knelt on stone floors or in ice caves, chanting in languages the modern world had forgotten. Their words filled the air like smoke, thick with reverence and terror alike.One word repeated across continents, whispered by many mouths:"Ashblood..."The Return of the Ashblood had begun.Inside the the safe house in S

    The television buzzed softly in the dimly lit room, as Hannah’s was resting on the med bed, thin blankets pulled around her, one hand absentmindedly resting on her stomach. Her other hand held the small remote loosely. Her body still weak, but her mind sharp.The news anchor’s voice could be heard,“We warn our viewers, what you are about to see contains graphic imagery. Viewer discretion is advised.” The broadcast switched to shaky, handheld footage.Smoke.Screams.The camera jerked wildly as someone sprinted across a downtown street — others running behind him, scattering like ants."They're burning alive!" a woman shrieked off-camera.The footage cut to a clearer angle. A man stood in the middle of a parking lot, convulsing violently. His body shimmered as if his skin couldn't contain him.Then —with a horrible, wet pop — flames erupted from his chest, swallowing him and the nearby cars.He staggered backward, mouth open in a silent scream as his body burned from within."Help me!

    Hannah stood just a few feet away from Andrew, wearing a dark hoodie and loose pants, her hair pulled back. Her face was pale, framed by exhaustion and the remnants of too many sleepless nights.She had purposely walked back and forth past the metal bench where Andrew was sitting, but he didn’t acknowledge her.After what seemed like the fifth pass, she was fed up with his silence and walked up to him.“You’ve been sitting out here since morning.”“Where else should I be?" Andrew said quietly.She exhaled, arms tightening across her chest. “You could’ve come to me.”His voice cracked. “I didn’t think I had the right.”She blinked. The silence stretched long between them. Then she stepped forward and sat beside him.“I hated you,” she admitted. “Not for leaving. For letting me believe you stopped caring.”“I never stopped.”Her head turned slightly toward him. “You were protecting me. Even when you were gone. Weren’t you?”Andrew nodded once. “I didn’t know what they’d do. I just knew
