TALE, TAILS, SCALES

HiraethCat
Set on a fictional island in the Western Pacific, there is an island named Charaya, which, in the modern era, is a tale of mermaids lingering. There was a creature living at the bottom of the dark and vast ocean. While waiting for a human with a greedy heart to arrive, she accidentally witnesses an incident. Due to her stubbornness, she decided to save the man who was in a near-death situation and to bring him back alive she needed to kiss him. But the mermaid was wrong in saving the human because she had just passed an unknown curse unconsciously. At the time that she had legs, the feet of the human became tails. ️️️ DISCLAIMER This is a work of fiction.

King of Knives

“In Varentis, trust is a luxury. Mercy is a weakness. And a knife solves more problems than gold ever could.” Darian Valcoris once had a name that mattered. Now he’s just another body in the pit, bleeding for coin, surrounded by criminals, watched by nobles who forgot his face. Broken, betrayed, and one mistake from death, Darian claws his way through the underworld of Varentis, a mountain metropolis built on secrets, steel, and blood, which serves as one of the three Palatinates of the Empire. But Darian isn’t here to survive. He’s here to take everything. From the gutters to the noble quarter, he’ll rise, through pit fights, heists, street wars, and whispered conspiracies. Alongside a crew of dangerous misfits, Darian plays a game that no one expects him to win. Because they don’t know who he's willing to become. Welcome to the Empire of Newfyre. Welcome to the City of Knives. ------ Tags: Dark Fantasy • Criminal Underworld • Political Intrigue • Antihero Protagonist • Slow-Burn Power Climb • Found Family • Betrayal • Knife Fights • Multiple POVs • Corrupt Nobles • Gritty Worldbuilding • Morally Gray MC • Low-Magic Setting • Empire Politics • Witty Banter • War Brewing ------ Why Read This (From 10Verses): This isn’t just Darian’s story.
