Pain doesn’t disappear. It waits to be judged. When the Library of Judgment shattered, human grief turned into monsters—and only those chosen by the Books of Judgment could stand against them. Surviving a book grants power, but only after reliving a single emotion through another life. Fail, and you are lost forever. Lyra is fifteen, and already grieving someone who hasn’t died. Her father, a legendary Ashward commander, has been trapped inside a Book of Judgment for months, fading between life and death. Haunted by nightmares and unable to move forward, Lyra stumbles into the forbidden Path of Solitary—where a book reacts to the grief she never spoke aloud. Each judgment is a mirror of one emotion. Each victory leaves a scar. Understanding pain grants power—but it never erases it. As grief turns into fear, trust, betrayal, and love, Lyra learns a cruel truth: emotions don’t break people—running from them does. This is not a story about becoming strong. It is a story about surviving what the heart was never meant to carry.

The universe learned to listen. Now it must learn to choose. After the Seam awakened and Echo became the conscience between worlds, existence itself changed. Civilizations no longer lived in silence. Choices carried weight. Consequences were witnessed. And humanity was no longer alone in shaping its own destiny. But peace born from legitimacy is fragile. Far from the center of influence, a new presence begins to emerge—one that does not value freedom, only survival. One that offers certainty instead of consent. Stability instead of choice. For the first time, the universe will face something Echo cannot simply listen to. Meanwhile, Aarav—the boy who once stood at the center of everything—has stepped away. No longer a symbol. No longer a reference point. Just human. And yet, his absence begins to matter more than his presence ever did. As civilizations begin choosing sides, and reality itself starts to bend around competing truths, Echo must confront a question it was never meant to answer: Is freedom worth the risk of extinction? Or is survival worth the loss of choice? In a universe where morality has gravity, every decision pulls reality with it. And not every world will fall in the same direction.

Together, they step into a world far darker than Fiona could have imagined: a world of deception, hidden truths, ruthless manipulators, and long-burried sins.

Love. Hate. Revenge. Before she was the High Alpha's daughter, Maya was an orphan named Penelope—and Marcus Keenan was the boy who gave her his locket and promised to marry her... until she was torn from him. Taken by High Alpha Vilhelm, everyone, including Marcus, was told she died. Years later, Marcus returns from the recent war a hero—now Alpha Keenan—with power, lands, and the right to choose any woman as his mate. He takes Maya—the same girl who made his life miserable before he left. He doesn't recognize her as Penelope with the locket long gone. To him, she is cruel, two-faced, and an expert at manipulation. What he doesn't know is that Maya's cruelty was forced, a mask she wore to both protect him and survive. Now trapped in a marriage born of revenge, she must decide. Stay silent and play the part, or reveal who she truly is…before it’s too late. —— Excerpt “This marriage is fake,” Maya said. She should be happy but why did it hurt so much? “Fake?” Keenan frowned and closed the gap between them. He wrapped a palm around her neck, and Maya gasped but no sound left her throat. “Is this another ploy to escape me?” “Isn’t it fake?” Maya whispered, holding his hand, trying to ease his grip. It was getting hard to breathe. Her voice betrayed her, too hopeful even to her own ears. He stared with such hatred, yet a part of her didn’t want it to be fake. Keenan threw his head back and laughed, yet his grip on her neck never wavered. “Woman, surely this must be a joke. You think I would orchestrate a fake marriage with you?” He leaned closer, eyes locked on hers. “You undermine my hatred. I want you bound to me forever. I want you to hate every moment of your life and I will be right here to make sure of it. You can never escape me.” Keenan released her neck. She dropped to the floor, rubbing her throat as she finally drew a full breath. “Fake marriage? Don’t be ridiculous. Even your father couldn’t get you away from me.”

Mankind prospered in the modern age, but one day, everything changed. Mana descended onto the world, making a permanent change to society. Alongside it was also the appearance of monsters invading the world from the sky and from below. Gods pitied mankind and bestowed divine bloodlines, creating superhuman people called the Supernals who can fend off the invaders. But not everyone who became a Supernal is suited for the role. Those people are pariahs that don't belong anywhere, especially when there are quotas for each divine bloodline. In a world where society revolves around those with divine bloodlines, Kai is a Supernal with the lowest talent. He doesn't fit with normal people and is too ordinary to mingle with Supernals. He was ostracized for hogging a slot in a divine legacy, and his only family suffered for it. But Kai isn't weak. It's just that nothing could properly check his bloodline. [Primordial Bloodline awakened] [Patron God: Goddess of the Primordial Night] Now, with the bloodline of the final night inside him, he will bring terror to those who wronged him. However, there's one big problem that he hadn't realized. -- Bonus Chapters will depend on your votes: Power stones, golden tickets, gifts, or even comments and reviews if the mood is great! 100 Power Stones: 1 extra chapter!

In the ancient world of Nophilis, where kingdoms rise on steel and fall in fire, strength is the only law that holds meaning. Clans rule the continents like living empires—each with their own martial traditions, sacred blades, and brutal codes of honor. Among them, none were feared or respected more than the Yagurah, the shadow-forged swordsmen whose discipline shaped centuries of warfare. But in one night of treachery and bloodshed, the Yagurah are wiped from existence. At just seven years old, Aldrich Yagurah watches the rival clans Varkonn and Saelari slaughter his entire family—his father, mother, and older sister—leaving him alive only to break him. Instead, their cruelty forges something far more dangerous. In the ashes of his home, clinging to the legendary sword his father created, Aldrich swears an oath of vengeance so fierce it shakes the night itself. Saved only by Eldran “Iron Spine” Yagurah, the clan’s last surviving elder—an aging warrior who lost his right arm protecting the gate—Aldrich is taken deep into Hollowdene Forest, a lawless, monstrous territory where dragons, ogres, griffins, crocotta packs, and other medieval beasts roam freely. There, in the heart of danger, a new legacy begins. Eldran builds a home in the center of the wilds and begins to forge Aldrich the same way Yagurah blades were forged for generations: through pressure, pain, and relentless discipline. With no magic and no divine gifts—only swordsmanship, martial arts, raw will, and human strength—Aldrich endures brutal training, hunts beasts that could crush kingdoms, and grows stronger with each scar. But vengeance is not simply killing his clan’s enemies. To uphold his oath, Aldrich must rise above them— outthink the Saelari, outlast the Varkonn, and surpass even the ancient warriors whose blood he carries. From the ashes of the fallen Yagurah, a new storm is coming. A storm that kneels before no king. A storm born from grief, raised by fire, and sharpened by monsters. His name is Aldrich Yagurah— and the world of Nophilis will soon know the fury he carries.
