In a world ruled by bloodlines and brutal hierarchy, Elara is a mistake. As the illegitimate, "wolfless" daughter of Alpha Silas, she has spent nineteen years in the shadows, supported only by her eldest brother, Leo. But when an enemy attack leaves Leo dead and their home in ashes, Elara’s father chooses to save his "perfect" daughter, Selene, by selling Elara at a black-market auction. Her buyer is the legendary "God of War," Alpha Kaelen of the Obsidian Pack. Elara expects a savior when she catches the scent of her fated mate, but she finds an executioner. Believing Elara intentionally left his "true love"—her half-sister Selene—to burn, Kaelen buys her only to make her suffer. Bound by an iron collar and cast into a silver-lined dungeon, Elara is forced to endure his vengeful wrath and the pack’s cruelty. However, Elara’s "wolfless" nature is the world’s greatest lie. Beneath the scars of silver poisoning lies the Hallowed Bloodline—an ancient power capable of commanding the elements and bridging the void.

THE GAME OF ASCENSION (Phase I — The Pikra War) The world was never ruled by kings. It was ruled by players. Two figures move civilizations like pieces on a cosmic chessboard: The Misunderstood Revolutionary. The Exiled Prodigy. And humanity is caught between them. What begins through the eyes of an ordinary side character slowly unfolds into a war spanning factions, dimensions, forgotten histories, and godlike beings known as the Asuras — ancient enemies of the Devas who once shook existence itself. At the center of it all stands one monster among men: Kae The man called the smartest human alive. The Seventh Asura Community Ruler. The greatest disciple of the legendary Gomo Taka. A being so terrifyingly gifted that he was considered worthy of leading the Immortalus Society at the age of fifty — a position even prodigies spend centuries chasing. But genius alone does not create monsters. Kae controls civilizations from the shadows, raising kingdoms and destroying nations for a single purpose: To ensure he always has enough pawns. To some, he is a savior. To others, the greatest threat in history. And the worst part? He might actually be right. As wars intensify and truths begin collapsing, one realization becomes unavoidable: The Pikra War was never the end. It was merely the opening move. --- What to Expect Multiple protagonists and shifting POVs Psychological warfare and political manipulation Cosmic power systems and ancient factions Morally grey characters Mastermind vs mastermind conflicts Large-scale wars and strategic battles Long-term mysteries and foreshadowing Villains who feel terrifyingly human --- In this game, there are no heroes. Only players. And pieces waiting to realize they were never free. ---

Rewrite of the original Zero Fate Against the World series Synopsis: Philip lived his life like any university student, he went to the campus, heard his teachers, made his notes, went home, studied, and played some games with the boys at night.

In a strange and unfamiliar land, everyone received powers and abilities, but with a twist, he didn't receive what everyone had, a class—only a skill to help him on his journey.

"Honesty and politics don’t belong in the same sentence," they say. Celine Yue, a kind-hearted social worker, stepped into politics to help more people. But what she didn’t know… was that her own party would be the one to end her life. After her death, she wakes up in another world as Cyrina Vaeloria, the Elf Princess—right on the day of her arranged marriage to Lucian Aetherion, the cold, mysterious Human Prince and strongest mage alive. A political union to keep two powerful races from tearing each other apart. But this so-called alliance is just a mask. She despises the way other races are trampled beneath noble boots. Cyrina refuses to be a pretty puppet. She dreams of building a new kingdom—where races aren’t divided by power, bloodlines, or magic. To do that, she’ll need power of her own. And lucky her... she just married the most dangerous man in existence. With sharp wit and stubborn grace, Cyrina slowly bends her cold husband to her will— She toys with the ruthless Archmage, tames the untamable… and drags him into a revolution wrapped in royal silk. After all, if you marry the strongest mage alive… you might as well make him yours. ***** excerpt~ Lucian’s voice is like a blade, low and sharp. “Do you even understand what you said in the royal assembly?” Cyrina lifts her chin, unbothered. “I understand perfectly. I said I’ll build a new kingdom—where every race can live together.” His eyes darken. “You don’t know what you’ve sparked. That speech—” he steps closer, “—could ignite a war. You’re underground now, Cyrina. Buried beneath politics you don’t even see coming.” She spins on her heel and waves dismissively. “Ugh. Kaelen Blackthorn, your master is giving me a migraine. Get me out of this castle before I set it on fire.” Kaelen gives a slow, exaggerated bow. “As you wish, my lady.” He takes her hand like the perfect gentleman and leads her toward the door— But Lucian’s voice booms behind them. “Kaelen. Don’t forget who your master is.” Kaelen pauses. Glances back. “I remember, my lord. But as per your standing order… I obey only my lady’s command.” A smirk tugs at his mouth. “Even if it means going against you.” **** Starting from July, new chapters will drop every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Strategic MC • Kingdom Building • Divine System • Ruthless Protagonist • Empire Growth The world of Theos Online was a battlefield of gods. Players built civilizations, shaped faith, and waged divine wars for supremacy. At the top stood Zephyr — Rank One. Untouchable. Calculating. Ruthless. He didn’t just win. He engineered inevitability. But in the real world, anonymity is fragile. When his identity is exposed, a coordinated smear campaign tears his life apart, stripping him of reputation, future, and finally — breath. Death was supposed to be the end. Instead, he awakens in another world. Different sky. Different history. Same Divine System. The rules that governed Theos Online now govern reality itself. While others pray to survive, Zephyr understands the code beneath the gods. He knows the exploits. The hidden mechanics. The logic no one else sees. He may not know this world’s past. But he knows exactly how to conquer its future. From a starving village to a rising divine empire, Zephyr will bend faith into machinery, turn belief into power, and reduce rival gods to footnotes in history. The game is gone. The system remains. And this time, there are no respawns.

Zoe Sawyer was a struggling, unknown web novelist. After pulling an all-nighter, she discovered that something seemed a little off about her. Behind the door was actually a crime scene? And she was face-to-face with the murderer? The police officer who arrived after she called for help also had a handsome, yet cold, face. She had thought it was just a special case, but unexpectedly, this "golden finger" brought her considerable trouble—opening a door randomly matches you with a crime scene! From time to time, she'd come face-to-face with all sorts of brutal murderers. Using the nature of her "golden finger," Zoe Sawyer became such a thorn in the side of criminals that they dreaded her and at the same time they were dying to get rid of her. Later... Zoe Sawyer: "I've found a crime scene, it's a bit gruesome. You guys, hurry over." Zoe Sawyer: "I've surrounded a factory with several criminals inside. A Second-Class Merit is right there for the taking, get here quick!" And later still, it was. Zoe Sawyer: "Merit, location, hurry!"
