Smoke & Code: Caught Between Love and Power

In a distant past, the seven Ancestral Beasts clashed, and the blood they spilled rained onto the entire plane, infecting humans and animals alike, making them part of their powerful bloodlines. As a small village’s hunter, Liam was unaware of the consequences of that legendary battle. His sole goal was to become a cultivator to gain the strength and resources he needed to avenge his family. Yet, when Liam’s Ancestral Bloodline awakened, he uncovered a connection between his family’s killers and the Dragon King, a connection that could expand his revenge to the entire Kingdom. -------------------- Discord link: https://discord.gg/mefzf3aQJ8 Instagram: eocnovels X: @EoCNovels Cover artist: https://digitalrowye.com

What happens when a dark fantasy novel becomes your reality… — During a failed heist, a slave named Jesper Ivanoski gets hit in the head by one his pursuers. This caused him to awaken memories of his previous life as a mobster who was betrayed and killed by the person closest to him. More importantly, he also realizes that his current world was a world from the novel he read not too long before his death. The problem is that this world is currently at war with monsters who want to take over all of humanity, and cults who are all devoted to the same evil. Armed with the memories of his past life and the knowledge of a story he had had read, Jesper tries to survive this world and the war currently destroying it. He sets out to become an Awakened of one the most deadly archetypes, and he doesn’t stop there. He also creates his own Brotherhood of deadly assassins. However, the higher he climbs in power and politics, the more he realizes that the Monarchs themselves are playing a game he was never supposed to see. *** Note: Mc is an ambitious, ruthless, manipulative, and morally gray character. Female lead can be a bit more crazy. (I really mean it when I say she’s crazy. Infact, think… mental illness meets psychopathic killer.) Her only moral compass is the MC who is trying to help her. Also, please note that this book can get really graphic and is really dark after the first couple of chapters that sets things up. World setting: Tsarpunk (A parallel inspired by 19th century Russia. Although there’s a bit of advancement in places due to magic and lots of gothic elements.) First few chapters may seem slow, but it picks up really quickly. Other tags: No-Harem, No-Harem, No-Harem, clan building, family growth, found family.

In the city of Threxa, Riven Thorn is just another ordinary boy. Poor, unnoticed, and dreaming of nothing greater than surviving tomorrow. That illusion shatters the night his village is slaughtered by werewolves led by the Alpha of the First Order, an ancient ruler believed to be untouchable. As chaos erupts, Riven’s mother, Tyrella, tries desperately to escape with him. They are ambushed. She is killed without mercy. Broken by grief and rage, Riven charges the monsters that destroyed his life—only to be struck down, his throat torn open, left to die in the dirt. But death does not claim him. Standing over his dying body, the Alpha commits a forbidden act thought impossible—he bites a human. Riven survives. And everything changes. Across the Four Werewolf Orders, a long-forgotten prophecy resurfaces: A human-turned-werewolf will rise, slaughter the Alphas, and reign as the Supreme Alpha. Fear spreads like wildfire. To werewolf society, Riven is an abomination neither fully human nor fully wolf. Before he can grow into the prophecy, the Orders unite with one goal: kill him first. Reborn into the lowest rank of werewolves, hunted relentlessly from the shadows, Riven begins a brutal journey of survival. He must master his unstable powers, control his transformations, and climb a ruthless hierarchy through blood-soaked battles one rank at a time. Each victory drags him deeper into the hidden world of werewolves, while pulling him further away from the humanity he once knew. By day, he struggles to live as a normal boy. By night, he becomes a monster feared by his own kind. As secrets behind the Orders unravel, Riven learns the prophecy may not be about destiny but choice. To reign supreme, he must defeat all Four Alpha Lords, shatter centuries of werewolf rule, and decide what he truly is: A human cursed by power… or a king forged by it.

As the only son of a prestigious family, Asahiko trusted that he had his future secured and his life set without needing to lift a finger. But everything changes on a fateful day of his childhood; his parents, both the only direct members of his family, die in a strange accident due to a “curse” in his particular lineage. This would lead him a few years later to Japan, the homeland of his mother, grandmother and great-grandmother thanks to the cooperation of a certain indirect relative, thus beginning an adventure beyond all imagination.

Cedric Hale was dying in a sterile hospital bed until he woke up beneath the iron-grey skies of the North, wearing the skin of a Dúnedain Ranger and speaking Sindarin as if it were his mother tongue. Transmigrated into the body of Halbarad’s kinsman just as the War of the Ring ignites, he carries the "Morgul Pact"—a parasitic system that harvests the essence of betrayal and despair to forge a "Crown of Ash and Shadow." While he rides with Aragorn and the Grey Company, the system urges him to convert genuine bonds into "teeth" for his dark crown, granting him the supernatural ability to see the "Kinslayer’s Insight" in every ally. Now, as the fleet sails toward the burning fires of Minas Tirith, Cedric must decide if he will become a rival to the Witch-king or use the "Ranger’s Last Choice" to shatter his own dark divinity for a world that may never thank him.

P.S; my first published story;-) "I don't know....I panicked,guilt is eating at me" he frowned at my words before speaking up softly "we're cool,it was a fucking mistake so let it go" " you don't get it we can't be cool" I replied shaking my head.
