Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. He makes decisions that those interested in hero complex protagonists may not find pleasant. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

The world ended the day the sky burned. From the depths of hell, demons descended upon the mortal realm, tearing kingdoms apart and driving every race to the brink of extinction. Humanity, elves, dwarves, and beastkin—once divided by pride and blood—were forced into unity under a single banner to survive. In their darkest hour, the World Consciousness answered. It created the System. A divine order that granted power, classes, and purpose. Warriors rose. Mages ascended. Legends were born. And yet… it was not enough. Billions died. Civilizations crumbled. Hope became a fragile illusion. Among the survivors was a boy who lost everything. His family. His home. His future. Left behind with only a comatose mother and a world that had abandoned the weak, he awakened a power that should not exist— Divine Fire. A flame not meant to protect. But to destroy. Gifted with inhuman learning ability and a class unlike any other, he begins his ascent from the lowest depths of power. But the path to the top is paved not only with the corpses of demons, but also with the greed, betrayal, and corruption of those he once called allies. The System has secrets. The demons have purpose. And the flame within him was never meant to save the world. It was meant to consume it. In a world where gods are silent and monsters rule, one ruthless soul will rise— Not as a hero. But as the Ember That Became God.

On the fateful night of October 10th, the Hidden Leaf Village is thrown into chaos as the Nine-Tailed Fox attacks. To protect the village, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, sacrifice their lives to seal the beast within their newborn son — Menma Uzumaki. But Menma is not alone. Born alongside him is his twin brother, Naruto Namikaze. Unlike Naruto, who grows up carrying the Hokage’s name, Menma bears the forgotten bloodline of the Uzumaki clan — a clan once feared and hunted to near extinction. As the years pass, Menma’s heart burns with a single desire: vengeance. For the betrayal that led to his clan’s downfall, for the scorn he endured as the Nine-Tails’ host, and for the legacy stolen from him. Where Naruto seeks bonds, Menma seeks retribution. Two brothers. Two paths. One destiny that will shake the shinobi world.

Shin was an elite soldier until a career-ending injury forced him into a dull, early retirement. To kill the boredom, he took on an impossible challenge: conquering the "Hell Mode" route of the world-renowned dating sim, The Guide to Taming Villainesses. He didn't just win; he became the only player to clear the game using its most pathetic character—a bloated, awkward loser who shared his name. His feat catches the eye of the game creator, a sadistic Goddess of Conquest. Bored with the status quo, she drags Shin into the game’s world and issues a challenge: Win the game or face permanent death. If Shin can conquer the souls of the world’s most dangerous women and reach the true ending, he will transcend humanity to become a God among Gods. Armed with the Taming System, Shin begins his journey by shattering the pride of the untouchable "Queens," seducing hot MILFs, and gaining new friends and allies. As his harem grows, so does his power.

$800,000. That's what my father owed. That's what I'm worth to Dante Moretti. He's cold. Calculating. Obsessive. He watched me for three years before he took me. I shot him. He made me patch the wound. I tried to run. He let me. I came back. He didn't say a word. He just opened the door. "You're mine, Serena. Even the key in your hand doesn't change that."

We are but meat that has learned to pray to delay the rot. We give Them our faith so they do not go mad with fear of what lurks below. But when the gods finally fall silent, and the Rift claims its due, the only prayer that will be answered will be twelve inches of steel driven into a windpipe. Worlds are collapsing one by one, swallowed by the Rift. Only three remain. The first, ruled with an iron fist by Churches and Inquisitors. The second, on the brink of rebellion, where the strongest rule. The third, where safety and wealth are but an illusion. These worlds are the last bastion of humanity surrounding the Dominion of the Mover. The gods are too divided to cooperate. Knowledge is fading. The Creator sleeps. There is no hope.

To silence me, he tried to kill me. Big mistake. On the brink of death, my Martial Soul, the Scarecrow, awakened its true demonic form, dragging me back from hell with a second Martial Soul in hand. Now, I am no longer prey; I am the puppeteer of souls. Yu Xiaogang? I will make the world see your hypocrisy as I twist you into the most despised Evil Soul Master in history. Tang San? Your precious disciple will fall with you, transformed into public enemy number one. As the Demon Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, I will rewrite fate. Death is too merciful a gift for you two... prepare for a fate worse than hell. Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon.

As vengeance collides with destiny, desire battles hatred, and the line between love and destruction begins to blur. Will the North King melt her frozen heart… Or will her thirst for revenge destroy them both?

I died. Again. [System Notice: You have died.] The message appeared so often that I stopped reading it after a while. The font never changed. The tone was always polite. Death, apparently, had excellent customer service. Fire. Poison. Betrayal. Execution. Death and I had cleared every route together. [Cause of Death: Fatal.] By my tenth death, I was annoyed. By my thirtieth, bored. [Death Count: 876] [Tip: Avoid dying.] By the time I reached my hundredth death, the system stopped offering advice. [Death Count: 9870] [No tips available.] That was when I realized something was wrong. Or rather… Death itself was starting to give up. [System Error.] [Respawn Failed.] …Huh. Even Death, it seemed, gives up.

Elara Ashford, 23, has been living a lie her entire life. She was brought up as Princess of Veridia, wearing silk and jewels, and she believes she has royal blood in her veins. However, when a marriage alliance insists that she marry the dreaded Dragon King of the North in order to stop war, her adopted family reveals the terrible truth: she was born with the real princess. She is merely the daughter of a commoner, a stand-in for the legitimate heir who was concealed for her "protection." Elara is now being sent to her death with a single, unachievable task: either make the monster fall in love with her or her real family, the commoners who abandoned her, will be put to death for treason. The Northern Kingdom is a real-life nightmare. Towers of obsidian are circled by dragons. In courtyards, Fae warriors hone their blades. In dimly lit hallways, witches murmur. And in charge of it all is Kael Draven, the ancient and deadly Dragon King, whose touch burns like dragonfire, whose amber eyes see through every lie, and whose court keeps a watchful eye on the frail human bride like wolves circling wounded prey. Elara anticipated a monster. She discovers a king who is plagued by centuries-old curses, haunted by betrayal, and frantically searching for his fated mate, whom he believes will break the curse that is slowly killing his people. He believes that *she* is a bond. She's not his mate, though. Wearing a stolen crown, she is a fraud. Elara learns that people have been lying about the North for generations as she makes her way through assassination attempts, lethal court politics, and a developing fascination with the dragon who could burn her with a single breath. Humans have betrayed the "monsters." And centuries ago, a human princess betrayed Kael himself, bringing a curse upon his entire kingdom. Elara's world falls apart when the real Princess Seraphine is found—beautiful, gifted with magic, and Kael's *actual* fated mate. Kael and Seraphine's mate bond is unquestionably ancient and ignites instantly. Elara ought to move aside. Let fate do its thing. However, Seraphine didn't have to spend months gaining the dragon warriors' trust. didn't put her life in danger to lift old curses. didn't fall in love with a monarch who taught her that monsters are created, not born. Elara is faced with an impossible decision after learning that Seraphine is a part of a plot to overthrow the Northern Kingdom from within and that the "true princess" is the real danger to the precarious peace: – Lose Kael to his true love and expose Seraphine. – Keep quiet and watch the kingdom she has come to love burn. – Fight for a love that wasn't supposed to be hers. Because bloodlines aren't always important to the heart. Sometimes love is forged in dragonfire rather than in the stars. Furthermore, the girl who wore a stolen crown, Elara Ashford, is set to demonstrate that fate isn't the most potent form of magic. It's a decision.

The Maned Empire has its jaws locked around the throat of the world, draining its lifeblood in the form of resources and letting its sabered fangs tear through the Shifting Races it sees as a threat.

No matter what corner of the world you flee to, the roar of the Lion can be heard. Far north, where the Maned Empire’s hold is weakest, in a frozen forest, a boy trains— prepares, for reasons he doesn’t know. Until one day everything changes, until one day everything is taken and he’s forced to use his skills and new powers to collect the skin of every Lion left to blame.

But the howls of rage were very real and only growing louder. ******************** extra tags: Kingdombuilding, beast-taming, smart mc, dark fantasy, mystery, no-harem, gore
