Heir of the Hidden Flame

In a world shattered by an unexplainable cosmic event known only as The Great Awakening, life itself changed forever. Humanity was no longer the sole bearer of consciousness—beasts, plants, and even the land itself began to evolve. In this new age, desire was no longer hidden; it was magnified, raw, and often deadly. Societal norms crumbled, and power became the only law. Thus began the Era of Awakeners—or as history remembers it, the Era of Chaos. Those who could wield the newfound power became either saviors or tyrants. Two opposing forces arose from the chaos: the Luminaries, guardians of light who sought order and justice, and the followers of darkness, who reveled in might and domination. Demon Beasts surged across the land, controlled by dark hands, while noble Spiritual Beasts allied with the light, bound to awakened warriors through sacred pacts. But the war for balance wasn't fought just with claws or spells—it was a battle of ideology. At the height of the conflict, two legends emerged: Solaris Auroran, champion of light, and The Eclipsed One, master of darkness. Their final battle reshaped the world, ending with both their deaths and the birth of two great faiths: the Church of Light and the Dark Covenant. Now, in a fragile era of uneasy peace, the world stands at a crossroads. The scars of the past have not healed. Corruption festers within even the holiest sanctuaries. Shadows gather in secret, and whispers of a second Awakening loom on the horizon. This is not a story of good versus evil—it is a story of power, consequence, and the primal desires that shape all life. In a world where beasts can think and gods can die, who will shape the future: the noble, the corrupt… or something entirely new?

Reyn, a border soldier, awakens his dormant dragonblood lineage, only to be hunted as a heretic by the corrupted Holy Church. To survive and uncover his origins, he allies with Selena, a cunning vampire queen, and Garret, a fierce beast-shaping warrior. Together, they delve into the Church’s darkest secrets and discover an ancient evil god’s resurrection plot. Their mission: reclaim four sacred dragon relics across war-torn kingdoms. But every step tests their loyalty—blood magic temptations, feral plagues, and human betrayals. Reyn’s dragonblood holds the power to save the world… or destroy it, for sealing the demonic god may demand his ultimate sacrifice. In a war where love clashes with ambition and flames burn brighter than hope, their oath will forge a new era—or drown the world in ashes.

The Soulless Messengers, a despised and persecuted people, wander the continent collecting gold coins from the emperor to escape a curse that has been passed down through generations. Among them is Azadine, who was born under the worst of curses. With no magical talents, he becomes the lowest-ranked messenger, traveling the continent and fulfilling the requests of petitioners in exchange for gold. As a powerful mage appears to unlock the clan’s curse, a vast conspiracy hidden by his twin sister Arael’s rebellion slowly comes to light. How will Azadine face the impending doom that awaits him?

The streets were a mess — broken cars, scattered loot, zombie groans echoing through the air. Kim Byeol-ha sprinted at the back of a terrified crowd, his hands casually stuffed in the pockets of his ragged hoodie. A dull thought floated lazily in his mind. “Should I make ramen tonight? Or maybe... tteokbokki? Something spicy sounds nice…” Behind him, a monstrous zombie let out an ugly screech. Byeol-ha glanced over his shoulder, yawned, then slightly shifted his wrist. Puff. The zombie's head exploded without warning, but he didn't even blink. No one noticed. Everyone was too busy screaming. At the front of the street, a group of well-armed fighters burst into view. Their leader — tall, broad-shouldered, in sleek black tactical armor — pointed his gleaming sword forward with authority. “Everyone behind me! We'll protect you!" Baek Ryeo-woon, commander of District 9, the textbook definition of a hero. Byeol-ha stopped running. “Ah. It’s the overachiever type.” He scratched his head and turned to the side, casually strolling toward a side alley to avoid getting drafted into some dumb citizen protection program. Meanwhile, Baek Ryeo-woon spotted Byeol-ha slipping away like a lazy cat ditching chores. "You!" he barked sharply. "Stay with the group!" Byeol-ha tilted his head lazily, eyes half-closed. “Mm? Why?” His voice was soft, almost sleepy. “It's dangerous, idiot!” Ryeo-woon shouted, cutting down two zombies with clean, practiced strikes. “You want to die alone out there?” Byeol-ha considered it seriously. "Not really. But if I die, at least I won't have to worry about dinner," he muttered, shoving his hands deeper into his pockets. Baek Ryeo-woon stared at him like he'd just grown a second head. "Who the hell worries about dinner during an evacuation!?" He stormed toward Byeol-ha, grabbed him by the back of the hoodie like a stray cat, and physically dragged him back into the crowd. Byeol-ha grumbled under his breath, getting hauled like a shopping bag. "Geez, musclehead. Let a guy think about tteokbokki in peace." Meanwhile, Ryeo-woon growled low, half-annoyed, half-baffled: "Great. Just what I needed. Another helpless civilian with no survival instincts." Neither of them knew yet — one was the hidden protector of the entire city, the other... was about to fall hopelessly in love with a boy who cared more about spicy rice cakes than zombie apocalypses.

Hidaka Totsuka is a shy boy living with his sick sister. A chance meeting gets him involved with something that is far bigger than himself but with the help of his Sekirei, he will learn how to grow from a boy, into a true man.

“Sex, Hot Sex, and More Hot, Unstoppable Sex! They want to ride me, squirt and make me punish them. That’s all these high-powered women in Tokyo crave. And who am I to say no when they offer it all to me with a cash reward attached to it?" Yuki Mori is a broke, 21-year-old college student on the brink of finishing his tech degree. Struggling to make ends meet, he stumbles across a high-paying job offer with flexible hours—“Private Servicing Assistant Needed.” Expecting nothing more than cleaning for a high-end fashion store, Yuki is thrilled when he lands the gig. But he couldn’t be more wrong. When Yuki meets Katashi Kurica, the stunning, 32-year-old CEO of Kurica Fashion House, he quickly learns that this isn’t just a job. Katashi is a powerful, seductive woman who doesn’t take no for an answer—and what she wants is him. Nervously, Yuki signs the contract, but it’s only when she calls him to her penthouse that the truth is revealed. “You’ll be servicing me. Not the floors.” For Yuki, a virgin with no experience in the ways of the world, the offer is shocking. But the pay is too good to refuse, and soon he finds himself caught in a web of desire, where his body becomes the price for her pleasure. As their encounters grow hotter, more intense, and undeniably addictive, Yuki discovers that this job is more than just an arrangement—it’s a journey into a world of seduction and erotic temptation. And Katashi isn’t the only one who has her eye on him. In a city where desire knows no bounds, Yuki’s life is about to change forever as he finds himself in the arms of many hottest, and most seductive MILFs of Tokyo.

(Find the full book on already on RoyalRoad!) The gods make mistakes, and she is the greatest of them all. Can this accidentally chosen one save the world from herself? Ashtik Sai-Weleg is not a hero, nor is she a villain. She's nothing but a simple huntress with some mild social anxiety. That is all she has ever been, and that is all she ever wanted to be. Then an old and long-since forgotten god decided to put into action, his ancient and foretold prophecy. If all goes to plan, his holy Champion would have been there to save the world. Only... it did not go to plan. Instead of the chosen one, his divine mark has been violently attached to Ashtik, and now the whole world stands on the edge. Can she unite the world? Can she forge an alliance to battle the apocalypse? Can she remain on the side of good when all evil actions seem to save so many more lives? Probably not, but it might be fun to see how she gets along. The world either thinks her a chosen one or a wicked lying heretic, only she knows that the truth isn't nearly that simple. A rise to the top tale, featuring themes of imposter syndrome, addiction and (found)family bonds. Warning; Ashtik isn't a superhero. Punches hurt like hell, and she gets her ass kicked a fair amount. This isn't a power fantasy, its a tragedy.

"Mr. Kira, many people believe that the current dueling environment has become increasingly toxic, with dominant trends of heavy traps and defensive, closed-off playstyles. They say this unhealthy atmosphere was brought about by you, as the new generation's Duel King. What do you think about this?" a reporter asked during an interview. "Slander! Pure slander!" Kira was angered by this accusation. "Why say it was me who started this?" "Dueling has always been like this!" It's not his fault. Who let him play Yu-Gi-OH!

What to Expect Welcome to this Martial Peak fanfiction, a respectful expansion of the legendary work by the original author. This fic follows the core events of the original, with a fresh twist in the form of a new protagonist who is an "outsider"—a modern reader reincarnated into the world of Martial Peak. 1. MC Setup: A Cultivation Novel Reader in Martial Peak The protagonist is NOT someone from the Martial Peak universe but a cultivation novel enthusiast from another world. No prior knowledge of Martial Peak, but vast experience with cultivation logic, tropes, and meta-awareness from similar novels. This allows for unique decision-making, unconventional strategies, and a slightly different approach to situations while still following the original storyline. He won’t be overpowered from the start, but expect fast progression due to his deep understanding of cultivation mechanics. 2. Respect for the Original Plot No major timeline changes—key events still happen as they should. All future arcs and climaxes remain intact to preserve the integrity of Martial Peak. What changes? The MC’s interactions, techniques, and relationships, providing a fresh perspective while saluting the original work. Expect some butterfly effects, but nothing that derails the core story! 3. Large Harem (With More Depth & Development) Martial Peak already has one of the largest harems in cultivation fiction—we’re expanding on that. 4. Smut Content Included Let’s not dance around it—explicit content will be featured in this fic. Balanced between romance, cultivation growth, and action, ensuring the story remains engaging beyond just smut. Cultivation-based dual cultivation, yin-yang balance, and ‘special’ training sessions will be explored in a tasteful yet satisfying manner. 5. Fast-Paced Updates Since we’re not making drastic changes to the story, the pace will be fast and consistent. Updates will focus on the MC’s journey, harem development, and the occasional divergence to deepen character arcs. As long as there’s support and interest, the fic will keep expanding. Final Notes This is a passionate tribute to Martial Peak, keeping the spirit of the original intact while giving readers a fresh perspective, expanded harem dynamics, and more in-depth character interactions. Are you ready to ascend to the peak once more? Let’s begin.
