BLVCK WOLVES

A world of magic. A "mage" born without it. And an outrageous f*cking crew. In the Valley Kingdom, where steampunk meets futurism and magic means status, a Guild named the Black Wolf Knights, or rather—the Black Wolves—stand wildly apart. Their acting captain, Greed, carries neither magic nor nobility, only a title he never wanted and a forgotten past. Though he has no magic, he has another power that defies it—along with a crew as unhinged as they are loyal and who all have their own insanely broken abilities: A Ghost-mage whose eyepatch hides more than it covers. A powerhouse who hits like a Behemoth and naps for sport. A vice captain more promising than most high-ranking mages, but only wants to spend the days cooking. A horned lunatic with a superiority complex and an obsession for her acting captain. A cyborg. A wolfdog the size of a lyconbear. And others off on missions or prolonged duties—each with their own unique quirks. The Black Wolves only have a single goal: to live a life as meaningless and carefree as possible. But when a conspiracy threatens to swallow the Valley—and pins the crime on them—they become fugitives in the very Kingdom they called home. Fighting to clear their names and an enemy that seeks to destroy everything—the Valley didn't want them, but the Black Wolves just might be everyone’s last hope. Expect: - Black Clover meets Final Fantasy meets JJK meets Vox Machina - NOT isekai, transmigration, evolution, system, or cultivation. Go look for that elsewhere - OP MC from the start with no magic [NOT ANTI-MAGIC], progressively gets even more OP - Harem relationships in the beginning, moderate fanservice and some sex scenes (hate me), and strong romance subplot towards the end with only one girl - Multiple perspectives from multiple characters - Intricate plot, tons of world building, character building, backstories, and fighting - A long, ongoing story Author's note: This book is only available on Royal Road, Webnovel, Scribble Hub, Inkitt, Wattpad, and featured on Chereads as well for the time being. If you're reading it anywhere else, it is entirely without my permission.

The rejected Luna returns

They wanted a villain, so I became one. (Readers discretion R18+) Publicly humiliated and cast aside, Lina became an easy target after she was rejected by her fated mate, Kain, the Alpha's son. Used by those in power, blamed for things she didn't do, and abandoned when she needed protection the most, her first life ended violently and unfairly. But that wasn't the end. She was reborn into several years in the past with the memories of her death intact, and was aware of everything that would happen. Lina refuses to make the same choices again. This time, she keeps her distance, hardens herself, and stops trying to be good for people who never valued her. But no matter how careful she threads, fate still tied her down to the same person. Only this time, she had two fated mates instead of one, Kain's twin brother, Louis. And despite having rejected her and ruined her life previously, Kain is now desperate to reclaim her. However, as the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. Lina refuses to fall back in her old ways again. He may want her back, but it doesn't mean she will still be there, waiting for him. Excerpt (Lina's POV) "You want an answer right? Fine…" I shot back, my expression hardening. "I feel nothing for you. Besides, aren't you already engaged? What more do you want from a lowly slave like me?" my words came out harsh, not because I meant to sound harsh, I just….I couldn't take the risk, not with a Winston. My fate could end up just like before, if I dared to let myself waver. I noticed his expression harden, his eyes turning cold as he quietly moves away to let me pass. I didn't waste another second there. I rushed out of his quarters, my eyes burning as I tried to hold back my tears. The emotions welling up inside me, so much pain than I've ever felt before, sadness….these couldn't be mine. I froze where I stood, clutching my chest as the emotions overwhelmed me. It was at that moment that it dawned on me. He was actually in love with me. But how? When? I don't understand. What in the world is going on, why had events become so unpredictable, so many things had changed I don't even know what to do anymore. If Louis was in love with me, then…maybe I finally had a chance to use him to change my fate. Carla has already proposed this, but I was afraid I'll end up being betrayed, used and then cast aside just like the past. But this was different now, he loves me.That makes him a risk… and an opportunity.... I just needed to use him to change my fate, I didn't have to love him back. Using him meant crossing a line I swore I never would. It meant becoming something I despised. But what was the alternative? I don't know what came over me, but I turned around, heading back into the room where I found him laying on the bed. He sat up in a hurry as I barged into the room, his eyes wide with surprise. He obviously wasn't expecting me to come back. "You—" he stopped himself, pushing himself upright. "Why are you here? " I didn't answer immediately. I stood there, staring at him, noticing the tension in his shoulders, the way his jaw clenched like he was bracing himself for rejection all over again. "I lied," I said finally.

Sigil of Ash

The man who died in an alley woke up in a world of beasts, dragons and living ink—with a new name, a new family, and not a single memory of the life he left behind. By the time Antony Keaney turns ten, the old world is gone. No echoes of the knife. No face to put to the name "Leo" that sometimes rises in his throat like grief he can't explain. He is just a poor boy now, son of a laborer with a faded Draft-Horse Beast Bond and grey Rune and a mother whose Fire-Newt barely lights their hearth. Antony Keaney has never bonded a beast. He's never felt a Rune burn into his skin or heard the heartbeat inside an egg. He's just a ten-year-old boy from a poor family, about to stand in the Dredge Basin and pick whatever broken egg the nobles have left behind. He expects nothing. Maybe a Fire-Newt. Maybe nothing at all. What he gets is a Coal Lizard... A creature no one has ever seen before. A fire-newt with no fire. Cold to the touch. Grey as ash. The lowest of the low. The other children laugh. The Overseer calls it defective. His mother cries. But one person isn't laughing. Professor Venn is watching from the shadows. A researcher from the most prestigious academy in the region. He has spent twenty years studying Runes, cataloguing beasts, writing papers on things that have never been seen before. He has never seen a Coal Lizard, no one has. He doesn't want to help Antony. He wants to study him. Cut open his Rune on paper. Document the failure for science. And if the boy has to sit in a classroom with forty-two noble children who bully, mock and despise him? if he has to spend every day surrounded by dragons while his own beast can't produce a single spark? Then, oh well. That's a small price for knowledge. Antony doesn't know why his lizard sometimes feels warm when no one is watching. He doesn't know why his Rune itches late at night, like it wants to move. He doesn't know why Professor Venn's eyes follow him with something that looks almost like hunger. He only knows he's about to enter a school where everyone sees him as a walking failure to be examined. And somewhere, buried in ash, something is starting to remember how to burn...
