OSEGUN'S ASENSION BOOK ONE

# *OSEGUN’S ASCENSION* ### *Book One of The Guardian Saga* By Aiyedogbon Joshua --- ### **In a city where survival is its own kind of miracle, one boy becomes the impossible thing Lagos has been waiting for.** ### *The last guardian died forgotten. Lagos is about to make sure the next one doesn’t.* --- # **Synopsis** Lagos is a city that never stops moving. Buses roar through flooded streets. Markets breathe like living things. Millions fight every day just to survive another sunrise. In a city this alive, miracles are supposed to belong to churches, shrines, and stories told by old women at dusk. Not to sixteen-year-old boys with forty naira in their pockets. Osegun Adeore is ordinary — painfully ordinary. He’s late to school more often than not, dodges danfo buses in Oshodi traffic, and spends most of his life trying not to disappoint his struggling family. But one Monday morning, something inside him awakens. A warmth in his chest. A pull he cannot explain. And suddenly, impossible things begin happening around him. Arguments end with a single sentence from him. Broken systems begin fixing themselves. Entire communities experience strange bursts of luck after he passes through them. At first, Osegun convinces himself it’s a coincidence. Until people begin whispering his name. Then a sharp-tongued genius named Ngozi Okafor approaches him outside his school gate with a notebook full of evidence and one terrifying conclusion: > “Things change when you’re around.” As the two investigate the truth behind his abilities, they uncover something ancient buried beneath Lagos itself — a hidden spiritual current tied to forgotten guardians, old gods, and a history powerful men have spent generations trying to erase. Because Osegun is not the first guardian. The last one died alone. Now the secret priesthood ruling the spiritual underworld of Lagos has turned its attention toward him. Some want to control him. Others want him destroyed before the city fully believes in what he represents. As miracles go viral and rumours spread through markets, schools, shrines, and social media, Osegun becomes the centre of a war far older than himself — one fought in crowded streets, abandoned temples, shadowed lagoons, and a hidden realm beneath Lagos where ancient beings still move in the dark. But the greatest danger is not the power growing inside him. It is the hope people place in him. Because in a city built on survival, hope is stronger than fear. And once Lagos begins to believe in Osegun, the world around him will never be the same again.

House of Dragons: Im Ulf the White

Shot dead in modern Baltimore, MMA fighter Marcus Cole awakens in the body of Ulf the White, a drunken Targaryen bastard living in King's Landing's filthy Flea Bottom. The year is 112 AC, years before the Dance of the Dragons. Ulf is cursed with a body weakened by alcohol and neglect , but blessed with two unique, latent abilities originating from the One Piece world that require intensive training to unlock: Kilo Kilo no Mi (Weight Manipulation): Ulf can shift his mass from being incredibly light, granting him enhanced speed, to being incredibly heavy (up to thousands of kilograms), allowing for devastating strikes and defense. Rokushiki (Six Styles): A formidable martial arts system that pushes the human body beyond its limits, giving him access to specific techniques: Soru (Shave): High-speed movement by kicking the ground ten times in an instant. Tekkai (Iron Body): Hardening muscles to iron density for defense. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick): Launching compressed air blades from a kick. Shigan (Finger Pistol): Thrusting a finger to pierce flesh like a bullet. Geppo (Moon Step): Kicking the air to achieve flight/vertical movement. Kami-e (Paper Arts): Making the body loose and flexible to evade attacks. Refusing to be another footnote, Ulf begins brutal conditioning and systematic self-injury to develop adaptive resistance against poison and fire. His only goal: to prevent the horrific fate of Princess Helaena Targaryen. Winning a melee and catching the eye of high lords , Ulf maneuvers into the Red Keep, eliminating the assassins Blood and Cheese before they can strike.

CROWN OF ASH AND MOONBLOOD

In Iruwa, magic is not inherited the way land or titles are. It is taken,paid for, Survived. Zalira Nembara knows this better than most. She is the last daughter of a fallen royal house, raised on what was lost rather than what was promised. She keeps her head down, her power hidden, and her name unspoken. In Iruwa, women born with moon-bound magic do not get choices. They are married into usefulness, silenced into obedience, or erased entirely. Zalira has spent her life avoiding all three. Then the Ash Crown awakens. A relic older than the kingdoms themselves. A crown that does not belong to bloodlines or tradition. A crown that chooses. Its choice places Zalira at the center of a prophecy no one agrees on and no one trusts. One kingdom calls for her execution. Another demands she be bound by marriage before her power can grow wild. And somewhere between politics and fear, a man who has never needed permission decides he wants her loyalty. Prince Kadeem Ayorun of Kisiwa is known for ending wars without apology. His rule is built on shadow, fire, and the kind of power that leaves no room for mercy. The magic in his blood reacts to Zalira’s in ways neither of them understand violent, dangerous, and far too intimate to ignore. As alliances fracture and magic begins to change its own rules, Zalira is forced to decide what she is willing to become. A queen. A weapon. Or something far more dangerous. Because in Iruwa, crowns are never taken gently. And love has never been harmless.

His other hand raised to wipe the tear that slipped from her eye. "I'll happily die a thousand deaths, Mariana, to live even a day with you. I'll happily die a thousand deaths if I get to die in your arms." He caressed her trembling bottom lip with his thumb, relishing it's softness. "If my death can make you stay close to me, then I'm ready to die in the most painful way." Placing his thumb beneath her chin, he slowly made her raise her head and meet his eyes.

And when finally, she gave a small nod, Aaron leaned forward to let his lips meet hers.
