In Pursuit of Knowledge

CarltheCreator
In the mud-slicked fields of his youth, Ethani’s world was defined by the ache of an empty stomach and the weight of a scythe. He thought he knew the face of struggle. He was wrong. When a dormant potential flickers to life within him, Ethani is plucked from the dirt and thrust into a game of cosmic architecture. Higher entities—beings whose shadows stretch across empires—have turned their cold, predatory gaze toward him. In the stories of old, a hero would rise to shatter these chains. But Ethani is no hero, and this is no fairytale. The farmhand’s toil has merely been traded for a more noble bondage. Now, he navigates a labyrinth of secrets and agendas where the sacrificed pieces are the ignorant. In this hollow pursuit of power, knowledge is the only currency that buys a tomorrow. To survive, Ethani must hunt the very truths that terrify him, even as they lead him into a darkness from which there is no return. -------------- Author's Note: This is a rather experimental novel for me, and will serve as an introduction to my world. It might have some unorthodox storytelling for a web novel, so be warned. Also, the first volume will be somewhat slow-paced, so keep that in mind. The second volume is where things really kick off.

Bloodstained Vows

In the shadowed underbelly of New York City, two once-innocent hearts are forged anew in betrayal and bloodshed. Elena Rossi was the untouchable princess of the second-largest mafia family—pampered, protected, and promised a life without stains. Until the night her father is gunned down, shattering her world and leaving her clan teetering on collapse. Her only salvation lies with the man she once loved and now despises: Luca Moretti, the ruthless boss of the rival Moretti empire. The boy who stole her first kiss under summer stars has returned from five years abroad as a cold, lethal predator—scarred, unforgiving, and more powerful than ever. Desperate for revenge and survival, Elena swallows her pride and begs for his alliance. Luca agrees... but his price is cruel and intimate. She must become his mistress—body, nights, and secrets surrendered completely. Every touch reignites old flames; every argument ends in bruising passion. As they hunt her father's killers together, buried truths surface: the assassination was no simple power grab, but a deeper conspiracy that threatens both empires. Hatred twists into obsession. Revenge becomes redemption. And the line between enemy and lover blurs until it shatters entirely. In a world where trust is a luxury and love is a weapon, Elena and Luca must decide: will they burn everything down for vengeance... or build something unbreakable from the ashes? A steamy, second-chance enemies-to-lovers mafia romance packed with face-slapping tension, slow-burn fire, weak-to-strong heroine growth, dark secrets, and a love that could destroy them both.
