Heart Aglow In The Flames Of Love

Divine, a beautiful village in the Lunar country, is known as the birthplace of God. The village's history is renowned worldwide, so on this day, people from all over the world come to the monastery to worship the three dragons, hoping for happiness and prosperity in their lives, as today is the Dragon Festival. On this day, all the villagers, including those who have come from other countries, are very happy. They greet the visitors with great joy. Together, the villagers have decorated the entire village. Both the villagers and the visitors are wearing traditional clothing. The backs of these garments feature images of the three dragons, hand-embroidered with silk threads, which are incredibly beautiful. Each person carries a wooden plate containing offerings for the dragons, covered with a white silk cloth. Little children, holding colorful paper dragons in their hands, are running rapidly up the monastery stairs. Their parents, perplexed, grab them and lift them up, only to find them thrashing around. Seeing their antics, their parents release them back down the stairs, causing them to run away, laughing again. "Hurry up, Mom," Seung and Yen say, looking at their mothers, who are walking along, talking to each other. Seung and Yen were both born in this village. Their parents are very good friends, and this is why they share a brotherly bond. After Yen's father joined the army, Yen lives with his parents in the city. While Seung lives with his parents in the village, Yen and his parents visit the village every year for the Dragon Festival. Yen has been ambitious since childhood, while Seung is the complete opposite. Both of their lives are going well together, until an accident happens to them or rather, like everyone else in this country that completely changes their lives. One night, fireballs suddenly rain down from the sky. Everyone lost a loved one that night, but the tragedy awakened long-held powers within certain individuals. This awakening sparked a war between Yen and Seung. A war that has raged for thousands of years between good and evil. Yen, in his quest for immortality, assembles a team of powerful individuals and kills his brotherly friend and countless others. Seung's son, Suan, along with his girlfriend, Aurora, and friends, avenges his father and all those who died against Yen and his companions.

When Rome Stood Firm: A Chronicle of Blood and Crown

The year is 476 AD. The great beast that is the Western Roman Empire lies dying. Outside the fog bound walls of Ravenna, the barbarian king Odoacer waits with patient hunger, ready to claim the corpse of a civilization that ruled the world for a thousand years. Inside the cold halls of the imperial palace sits Romulus Augustus. He is only fifteen years old. To the world, he is nothing more than a puppet emperor, a boy wearing a crown too heavy for his head. A placeholder draped in purple silk, waiting for history to finally turn the page on Rome. Even his own people whisper behind his back, calling him the Little Disgrace. Then fate strikes with merciless clarity. When his father, the empire’s last true protector, dies in the mud, the illusion of safety shatters. The siege tightens. Romulus is abandoned. His generals are traitors searching for a new master, and his own guards prepare to trade the boy’s life for their survival. He is trapped in a city ready to surrender its emperor to the butchers beyond the gates. But despair does not kill him. In the deepest depths of fear and grief, something else awakens. The frightened boy breaks. Romulus refuses to become a sacrificial lamb. Armed only with a stolen dagger and a burning hunger for vengeance, he crawls out of his besieged city through the filth of its sewers, not to flee, but to hunt. Tonight, the young Caesar dies. And something far more dangerous takes his place. History has already written Rome’s obituary. But the Wolf of Ravenna is about to rewrite it in blood.

Curse Of Shadows: Even The Gods Fear Me

Leo Yeager holds the distinction of being the weakest human alive in a world infested by terrifying monsters. Born without a Dantian, he cannot cultivate — and in a society where strength defines life, he is nothing but trash. That fate should have been the end of his story. But everything changes when a Red Gate tears open and drags Leo into a death trial in a forbidden realm. Bleeding and alone, he binds with a Cursed Artifact containing the heart of a murdered goddess — a dark power that whispers promises no sane person should answer: the power to command shadows… and to forge an army from the souls of those he kills. As the shadows take root in his soul, Leo uncovers something far more dangerous — a forgotten force called Origin Chi, a foundational power thought lost, capable of rewriting the very essence of his being. It defies the laws of this world… and terrifies those who understand its implications. Now armed with dual systems that break every rule, Leo is no longer prey. But power paints a target on your back. Hunted by ruthless kingdoms, merciless criminals, monstrous abominations, and even gods who fear what he is becoming, Leo must do the impossible: climb from absolute zero to the peak of cultivation — or burn the world down trying. If you enjoy Dark Cultivation Power Progression Fantasy stories, a Dark Souls-type world, System, Transformation's, Magic and watching the MC get pushed past his limits, I think Curse of Shadows will pull you in and never let go.
