The Last Natural Born Witch

Psykow
Centuries ago, the world bled magic. Witches walked among humankind—born, not made—wielding power drawn from the living pulse of the earth. But fear turned to fire, and humanity rose to exterminate them all. From the ashes of the Witch Purge, humankind forged its own kind of magic: artificial and cold. Beneath the earth’s deepest layers, miners unearthed Mana Stones—crystals that held faint echoes of the world’s original energy. By crafting metal wands to harness these stones, humans learned to mimic spells. The power was limited, disposable, and costly—but it gave them dominance. For hundreds of years, magic belonged only to men, refined and rationed by those who once feared it most. Until now. In a forgotten valley, hidden from the Dominion’s gaze, a child is born—a girl named Seren Vale. Her power awakens not through metal or stone, but from the earth itself. The air bends to her cries, fire hums beneath her touch, and rivers still when she sleeps. She is the first natural-born witch since the Purge… and the last. When her secret is exposed, Seren becomes the target of a manhunt led by the Church of the New Light—the very empire built upon the ashes of her kind. As she flees across a dying world, she uncovers the terrible truth behind the Mana Stones: they are not mere minerals, but the crystallized remains of slaughtered witches, their magic fossilized and mined for human use. To survive, Seren must awaken the ancient power in her blood—and choose whether to reignite the world’s true magic or let it burn away forever. Because if she fails… the earth itself will stop breathing.

Beastmen Are Crazy, So I Sell Them Therapy

Blanca Frostine transmigrated into the very beast-world novel she’d been reading. Great. Fantastic. Even better? This world had a massive problem. In this empire, beastmen suffered from a condition called Hysteria. When their emotions spiked, they lost control and turned into rampaging monsters. When their emotions dipped too low, they reverted into small, helpless beast cubs. Therapy existed, technically, in the form of rare energy stones—but there was a catch. The stones only worked if they were hand-carved into the exact animal form of the beastman. The more realistic the sculpture, the stronger the calming effect. The more lifelike the carving, the more times it could be reused. Which was where Blanca’s luck kicked in. In her previous life, she’d been a legendary sculptor—wealthy, talented, and famously difficult to deal with. Her works were so vivid they felt like they were breathing. People waited months just to beg for a commission, and because she had zero patience for nonsense, the art world had crowned her with a fitting title: The Sculptress. So when Blanca realized she could carve energy stones better than anyone in this world, romance was not her first concern. Powerful beast husbands? Fated mates? Tragic, handsome generals with emotional damage? She waved all of it away. “I’ll date later,” she decided calmly. “After I get rich.” And so, instead of a love story, she opened a shop. A small, suspiciously low-effort store suddenly appeared on the Regional Network, selling palm-sized sculptures carved with terrifying realism. Just looking at the screen was enough to calm raging emotions. The empire lost its mind overnight. Orders flooded in. Nobles panicked. The military took notes. Unfortunately, the shop owner was… Lazy, sharp-tongued, and deeply uninterested in customer satisfaction. “No rush orders.” “No refunds.” “Stop messaging me at 3 a.m.” “And stop flirting in the reviews.” Still, her sculptures sold out within seconds. What Blanca didn’t expect was the growing number of powerful beastmen who began appearing in her life—each claiming they just needed emotional treatment, each lingering a little too long, each staring at her hands like they were something far more dangerous than weapons. After all, in an empire full of beasts who lost control when their emotions ran wild, Blanca Frostine was the only one who could calm them with a touch. And while she kept insisting she wasn’t interested in love— Love, unfortunately, seemed very interested in her. “Screw finding a husband,” Blanca thought, carving another masterpiece. “…Why do they keep lining up anyway?”
