The Debt Kingdom : She outsmarts everyone in the room

Rania Ashveil woke up in a room too grand for someone who had just lost everything. What she didn't know yet was that she hadn't lost anything. She had just inherited the kingdom of Valdris along with everything that came with it: eight hundred and forty-seven million coins in debt, seven creditors, and ninety days before it all officially collapsed. Every minister was crying. The royal notary waited with the expression of a man who had made his peace with bad news some time ago. Rania, who until very recently had been an economist in Jakarta and had never heard the name Valdris in her life, asked for paper and started writing a list. Not a list of assets. A list of who was most afraid of losing their money. In a world of swords and armies and inherited power, Rania arrived with exactly one weapon: the ability to see how systems work several steps further than anyone else in the room. Plus one strange ability she discovered when she first touched the kingdom's Ink of Binding, something that made the weight of every debt visible to her, hanging in the air above the heads of everyone she met. She didn't choose these tools. But she knew how to use them. And in a kingdom already halfway to collapse, sometimes the only thing that matters is someone who knows how to read a room correctly. The Debt Kingdom is not a story about a queen conquering the world. It's a story about someone with nowhere to go back to, who decides to build a home from whatever's left. With a younger brother who reads people better than he reads numbers, a head of security who was originally paid by the enemy, and a finance minister who had been right for eleven years without anyone listening, Rania faces seven creditors, one empire quietly moving soldiers toward her border, and a question heavier than all the debt combined: whether building something larger than yourself is reason enough to stay.

The Shadow of Immortality

The feeling was fleeting, sharp—a sudden and terrifying void where his past should have been. A beautiful face he once loved… now mere grains of sand slipping through Clark's fingers. All that remained for him now was his name: Clark. This forgetting was incredibly potent. Clark felt an intense headache in every pore of his head. He began to see his surroundings. He was wearing rusty metal armor. When he looked ahead, he saw a strange man. He was calm, holding a nearly empty bottle of liquor. This man had lit a fire and was sitting beside it. Next to him was a rotting, dead corpse. The stench of blood was piercing, revolting to Clark's senses. Clark was tense, his hand on the sword beside him. He didn't understand why, but it was the survival instinct within him. The man looked at Clark. His voice was unsettlingly calm. • "Don't trouble yourself reaching for that sword. I didn't kill him, I found him like this with an empty bottle." Clark ignored the dizziness and sat beside the man, his hand still on the hilt. Clark's voice sounded as if his vocal cords were frayed from hunger. • "Who are you? What is this place?" • "My name is Jin. I woke up in a field of corpses. You were the only breathing thing. So I dragged you here." I was hoping you had answers. About me. About any of this." Clark's expression froze. He hadn't comprehended that he had amnesia. "What do you mean 'about you'?" Jin replied with a helpless smile. "I don't know. I've lost… everything. All that's left for me is instinct. The need to survive. That's all." Enjoy reading it!
