Drakonous

"You have all the power in the world. The money, the strength, the charm. But what does it matter, when you are fated to a life of eternal misery? To repeatedly live a loveless life? Wherein everyone - and everything - you love dies and fades away with time?"


 For as long as Jason can remember, he has been a killer. Raised as a child soldier, he was trained in the arts of murder as a mercenary, an assassin, and a bodyguard. In short, his life was anything but dull. Yet his greatest wish was to live a normal life, date a normal girl, have a moment to breathe and relax. His wish was to be a normal boy, no, a real boy and not some weapon. But his thirst for strength led him to the path of both the scientifically psychic world and the mystically supernatural world.

 One day, he is entrusted to protect a young girl whose entire family was murdered. Two years after taking her as his sister, Jason tries to lead a life that's as normal as possible in the most technologically advanced city in the world, Sanctuary. However his newfound freedom is threatened when his past comes to haunt him, and his hunger to join the extraordinary life once more begins to consume him. As enemies from both the worlds of supernatural and science come crashing down upon him, Jason must make a choice, and choose which life he'd rather have. An uneventful, normal life. Or the life of the impossible, where dog eats dog, and only the strongest survive.


    "There are no good people or bad people. No heroes, no villains. Just people. People doing what they believe is right. From their perspective. Their experience. Their upbringing. Their nature. Their nurture. But there are monsters out there ... monsters who just want to watch the world burn. Wanna guess which one I am?"

Immortals: The Curse of Samsara

People have been asking whether there will be certain aspects introduced into the series and they want to know if it does appear before fully committing to this story. I want to iterate the most commonly asked aspects in this announcement so that everyone knows.


First, NTR. NO. Not happening. Not really. Characters might mention it in passing or lie about it. For instance, Jason mentioned sleeping with a girl who had a partner but he didn't know. Emily also talks about how one of her former boyfriends cheated on her and slandered her in school (hence her bad reputation amongst the students). But there will be no cheating in the main story. It doesn't move the story. It doesn't create the proper angst needed. Just pointless rage and pain that could be avoided if you just break up or make up.


Second, harem. While I do have the tag for Harem, there isn't really one set right now. Instead, it will be more like Jason juggling more than one girl but not truly getting into a relationship with one. Huh, that does sound like a harem. Nvm. Also, no, Alina, Asami, and Michelle are not part of the harem. THEY'RE KIDS. So, no, not happening. Alina truly sees Jason as the brother (and to a certain degree, a father figure) she never had, Asami always talks about how good looking Jason is but never actually considered him as a love interest. She's only flirted with him to tease/annoy Alina. And Michelle admires Jason, sees him as a role model, a really dashing one, and even if she has a crush on him, she buries it and encourages Emily instead (although her struggle to do so will definitely appear).


Also, a few asked if there will be tragedies coming that might involve characters that they like. All I can say is that the story has been pretty tragic already. The MC was a child soldier, that's pretty dark. And tragedies don't mean that they're dead or something they could suffer from something else. PTSD, losing a limb, etc. So, yeah, there's a bit of tragedy but most characters I've introduced so far will survive to have their own series (more at the end).
