    15 year old Cage's life was flipped upside down when he discovered that buried within his soul is Kisei Suru Takusan, an ancient, godlike entity whose power shook the world for thousands of years. When Cage begins awakening strange spiritual abilities, he's pulled into an unseen war fought by Practitioners and Cryptids alike. But neither side sees Cage as an ally. To them, he's a threat. Cage has to resist Takusan's pull as he grows stronger and comes to understand more of the violent world he's been forced into. Every battle brings him closer to mastering incredible power, but also a step closer to losing himself entirely. As unlikely allies, ruthless enemies, differing ideologies clash around him, Cage must decide what kind of person he'll become, and how he'll survive an ever-changing world that's at odds with him, just as much as he is with himself.

    In Gotham, there was a rumor. A rumor, saying that the Bat was the coalescence of their sins, come to punish them (they said that, due to the Batman being formed of their sins, it could not kill them, lest it be weakened). The Bat was formed of the night, and the lines between it and the night blurred, to the point that it became all but invisible in the shadows, only able to be seen by the glow of its eyes, or a shadow blotting out the little light of the moon as it flew in the skies, surveying its territory. The Bat was eldritch, a myth, a tale told to children to frighten them into behaving. 'Be good, and the Batman won't snatch you away to join its brood'. By day, a ditzy socialite, CEO of Wayne Industries, by night, a vengeful shadow in the dark, punishing criminals and doling out justice, the Bat was real.

    In a quiet, watching house, something in the walls is listening. A silent child follows a gentle voice that seeps through the halls-never loud, never urgent, only patient and polite. It does not chase. It does not lie. Instead, it guides, leading the child deeper into hidden corridors and impossible spaces the house slowly reveals. The voice offers comfort, curiosity, and careful truths, but never the whole of them. And as the house begins to feel less like a place and more like something alive, the child must decide how far to follow... and what might be waiting when there is nowhere left to go.

    Portrait of a woman in transit. Name: Tay Warren. Current Location: Somewhere between a Burlington basement and the end of the world. Tay Warren's biggest problem used to be the rising price of beef and the hum of a dying refrigerator. But that was before the world stuttered. Now, Tay finds herself in an abandoned factory bathed in a light that doesn't exist. She is part of a collection of one hundred New Englanders "loading in" like assets on a server. Most are screaming. Some are praying. But five of them are simply trying to survive the math. There is Gabe, who sees the glitches in the skybox. Murph, whose anger is the only thing more real than the concrete. Xiomara, a mother with everything to lose. And Mark, a man whose "luck" is about to run out of credit. Together, they must navigate a landscape that looks like home but feels like a fever dream. A world where sugar houses are skeletal traps, stone walls are the boundaries of a cage, and the fog hides things that wear human faces but forget the human names. The "Devs" are watching. They have front-row seats. And as the forest begins to unmake itself, Tay realizes the most terrifying glitch isn't the world around her... it's the name the world keeps whispering in her ear. Enter the lobby. WELCOME TO THE RENDER.

    Since the dawn of creation, humanity has faced annihilation time and again at the hands of demons. Passing through Gates, they corrupt and possess the darkness in human hearts, becoming Apostates who prey on the living. To ensure humanity's survival, Heaven granted mortals the powers of angels-the fire within their souls known as Halo. As newly igknighted Saints, Hubert and June must work together, traveling across the East Coast of the U.S. to exorcise demons, phantoms, and necromancers. When a string of Apostate attacks begins to connect, what first seems random reveals something far older and more deliberate. By the time they understand it, it may already be too late.
