mystery

In the ancient Red Dragon Empire, a legend whispers of a Golden Dragon born only once every thousand years—cunning, mighty, and destined to rule the night. That dragon was Leo, the crowned prince of all dragonkind… until betrayal struck. After a mysterious voice laughs, “Ha ha ha ha… Goodbye, Leo,” the mighty prince loses everything—his body, his power, and his memories. He awakens as a handsome young man in a filthy room, with nothing but confusion and a single name echoing inside him: Leo. His so-called teacher, the strange and miserable Lord Tuga, mocks him, orders him around, and—most terrifying of all—can hear his thoughts. But beneath Leo’s blank memory sleeps something ancient… something dangerous. When Leo steps into the lively Gu Region for the first time, fate begins to move. A brutal young cultivator threatens the village. A mysterious short merchant gives Leo priceless dragon seeds. And a hidden underground cave leads Leo straight to Su-du, the forgotten spirit of a legendary female cultivator who mistakes him for someone else—and nearly kills him. Inside the cave, Leo’s true nature awakens. A voice speaks in his mind. Flames burst from his body. His soul splits into a thousand shadows. He has begun the first step on the path of cultivation—and something within him remembers how to dominate. But the Gu Region is only the beginning. Powerful young masters, savage sub-cultivators, monstrous geniuses, and deadly clans all prepare for the upcoming Red Dragon Empire Competition, where only ten will survive to become the feared Red Dragons. And in the shadows of the empire… …the voice that once said “Goodbye Leo” begins to stir again. As enemies rise and destiny unfolds, Leo must uncover who he truly is— A useless student? A reincarnated prince? A living weapon? Or the return of the Golden Dragon of the Night, feared by heaven itself? IT BEGINS

In a world smaller than ours, walled by stone and ruled by steel, fourteen kingdoms fought endlessly to stand above the rest. For centuries, their wars raged until two hundred years ago, when Blitz, a western nation, rose to dominance with a military unlike any the world had ever seen. By the year 1100, Blitz had crushed its rivals and ruled as the largest and most advanced nation alive. Peace followed, but uneasily. Whispers claimed Blitz's soldiers wielded unnatural power, strength no mortal should possess. Power used to bend nations to their knees. Then came the vanishings. Villages gone overnight. Towns emptied of life. Survivors spoke of monsters crawling through the dark, of blood and shadows. Others blamed rival kingdoms. None knew the truth, only that war was coming. Far from the capital, deep in the forgotten forests at Blitz's edge, lay a small village untouched by politics or power. There, two sixteen-year-old boys hid a secret of their own—unnatural strength. Monstrous strength. A power that should not exist. And soon, their world was about to burn.

"Ravya Chauhan" has lived her whole life fighting shadows—inside her home, inside her heart, inside every place that tried to silence girls like her. But she grew sharper instead of softer. Calmer instead of weaker. A cybersecurity expert with a mind trained to see through lies. So when her best friend dies in what everyone calls a suicide, Ravika doesn’t accept it. She follows the digital traces left behind. And every clue points to one place: Rajput Industries. To uncover the truth, she walks straight into the lion’s den, hiding her investigation behind a quiet smile and a new job title. What she doesn’t know is that the heir of this empire had seen her long before she ever stepped into his world. "Akshan Rajput". To the public, he is brilliance wrapped in polish. To the underworld, he is A.R.—a name spoken with fear. To himself, he is a man who once saw a fearless college girl challenge a room full of adults… and never forgot her. She left that moment behind. He carried it for years. Now Ravya works beneath his roof, digging into secrets he has buried in darkness. Akshan senses the change the moment she arrives— a threat he can’t name, a pull he doesn’t want, a memory that refuses to stay silent. She searches for answers. He demands control. Their worlds collide in suspicion, heat, and a dangerous bond neither of them planned— a forced marriage forged in power, anger, and something neither of them can escape. But the deeper Ravya steps into the shadows around him, the more she realizes that Akshan is not the only danger in her life. Someone else is watching her. Someone who knows her past. Someone who wants her broken. Caught between truth and deception, desire and destruction, Ravika must decide: Is Akshan Rajput the man she should fear— or the only one capable of saving her?

[AI Slop, don't read] [If you want a real story from me, I'll publish a new work next year] In the ancient realm of Elyndor, where astral tides shape destinies and forgotten gods whisper through the roots of colossal world-trees, a newborn elf awakens with memories he shouldn’t have. He is Aeryn Vaelorian—an unremarkable child by all standards, frail in body and meager in talent. In a land where power is etched into one’s bloodline, he stands at the very bottom. But hidden within him lies a silent anomaly: an unfathomable ether construct known only as the System. It observes, measures, evolves. When ancient clans stir, forbidden creatures rise from the Astral Chasm, and political shadows weave conspiracies through silver courts, Aeryn is pushed into a journey across kingdoms, ruins, dreamscapes, and planes beyond sight. Guided by an ability no being in Elyndor has even conceived, he climbs from insignificance toward a fate intertwined with cosmic secrets. Every step grants him power. Every revelation reshapes his identity. And every twist leads him closer to the truth of why he exists in a world that should never have birthed him. This is the saga of an elf who begins at the lowest rung—but who will someday stand above gods, mysteries, and fate itself.

Angels and creatures of unknown origin invaded earth, slaughtering everything in their path. Humanity resisted to the best of its abilities but could not match their might of heaven. However, when all means of resisting this invasion had been exhausted, humanity fell on their knees and turned to God for help but their prayers was met with God's chilling laughter that echoed across the planet. Only then did everyone understand the situation. God is Mad. Following the laughter, God declared the only means of survival was to join and win the Armageddon games. This was a competition set between realms and races. Whoever losses was punished and the invasion on their planet was resumed while those who won enjoyed peace. God is bored and mortals have become his entertainment.

Their wolves know the truth. Their hearts feel it. Their minds refuse to believe it. Eric believes he’s cursed, his wolf buried so deep it barely exists.

But the pull between them is undeniable—dangerous, burning, wrong… and yet impossibly right. When Eric is forced to mate the girl born on the night of the Blood Moon to break his curse, he shatters the fragile bond neither of them understands. And losing Sera almost destroys him. Now their wolves stir in the dark, desperate to reunite. If they awaken, they’ll find each other. If they don’t… they’ll lose the only love fate ever intended for them.
