They called her the daughter of death, a deadly assassin whose name alone struck terror into the hearts of the powerful. When her own story ended in blood, she opened her eyes as Shen Yelan, the disgrace of the Shen family.

SEVEN CIRCLES: The War of Broken Magic Magic did not destroy the world. Silence did. She was never meant to be remembered. Born into a world ruled by seven circles of power, she learned early that strength alone was never enough. Truth was buried. Names were erased. And those who questioned the order simply disappeared—quietly. When betrayal shattered what little place she had earned, she chose survival over obedience. Not through open rebellion, but through patience, deception, and control. In a world where magic is regulated by politics and power is hidden behind rituals, she became something far more dangerous than a hero. She became an irregularity. As kingdoms maneuver in shadows and alliances rot from within, she moves unseen—building influence, rewriting rules, and turning silence into a weapon. Every choice costs blood. Every victory leaves scars. And every secret brings her closer to a truth the Seven Circles would kill to protect. This is not a story of salvation. This is the rise of a woman who refuses to be erased—and the war that begins when silence is finally broken.

The world of Atherion is held together by oaths older than kingdoms and stronger than blood. For centuries, these oaths have been renewed in silence, not because rulers believed in them, but because the world itself demanded obedience. Power did not belong to kings or armies, but to mandates, roles bound by ancient agreements that kept balance intact. Until one of those oaths was broken. In full view of the world, a governor refuses to renew the Pact of Continuance. His death is immediate, violent, and unmistakable. The sky recoils. The land responds. And something long buried beneath ice and history begins to stir. What follows is not a simple struggle for power. As legitimacy collapses, the Crownbearers lose their authority. The Gilded Compact tightens its grip, starving cities without drawing a blade. The Veiled Synod fractures under the weight of truths it was never meant to reveal. Along the frozen frontier, the Frostwardens face signs that the world’s oldest silence is awakening. There is no chosen hero. Only witnesses, decision makers, and survivors. Each faction acts according to its role, not its morality. Every choice carries consequence. Every truth uncovered demands a price. And as the past resurfaces, it becomes clear that humanity never ruled this world by right, only by permission. Now that permission is being questioned. Seven Mandates of Silence is a dark political fantasy about power without righteousness, order without mercy, and a world that remembers every broken promise. It is a story where authority is fragile, truth is dangerous, and survival depends not on strength, but on what one is willing to sacrifice when the oaths that shaped reality begin to fail.

Some debts are paid in gold. Others are paid in blood. Selene never believed she would become a story whispered among packs—a cautionary tale, a rumor spoken in fear. She was only an Omega daughter trying to save a broken father, only a woman who thought one night could be survived and forgotten. She was wrong. That single night bound her to the most ruthless Alpha alive. It marked her body, her soul… and her future. Five years later, Selene lives in the shadows, raising three children who should not exist—three little wolves whose power cannot stay hidden forever. When they accidentally shift in public, the fragile life she built begins to shatter. Because Alphas never forget what belongs to them. And Alpha Silas Blackclaw has been hunting his lost Omega since the night she vanished. This is a story of survival and obsession. Of an Omega who refuses to kneel. Of an Alpha who learns that power means nothing without family. And of three children whose existence will ignite a war between packs. Once the bond awakens… There is no running from fate.

In a world where Systems decide a person’s worth, Not sex. Be it male or female, A pervert or a Noble. Kael Valeborn was treated as less than human. Born into a powerful family, he was starved, humiliated, and discarded—until the day he fell from a mountain and was left to die. At the brink of death, a System answered his final thoughts. Vermin System — Initialized. While others awaken talents blessed by fate, Kael gains authority over the lowest lifeforms. Rats. Insects. Beasts that survive in filth and shadow. And through them, he learns a brutal truth— Hierarchy is absolute. As Kael ascends from vermin to lord, every step of power comes from understanding, not luck. From survival, not mercy. From dominance, not charity. This is not a tale of a chosen hero. This is the rise of something the world never wanted to acknowledge— The Vermin Lord.

But every night in his arms makes her question what she's willing to sacrifice. When he finally catches her in the greenhouse, hands covered in soil and guilt written across her face, the confrontation is explosive. "Did you really think I didn't know?

i was never meant to want my sister’s husband. Victor Ravenscroft is discipline carved into flesh — a billionaire who controls boardrooms, headlines, and the people around him. To the world, he belongs to Elena. To me, he became a weakness I couldn’t kill. What began as a mistake turned into a secret. What turned into a secret became an addiction. I told myself it was love. I told myself I was chosen. But I was never the one in control. Elena has always been perfect. Poised. Admired. Untouchable. She doesn’t scream. She doesn’t fight. She doesn’t expose. She observes. While I unravel. While I lose my job. While I spiral into jealousy and paranoia. While I destroy myself chasing a man who won’t claim me in daylight. She comforts me. She hugs me. She tells me I’m imagining things. And I believe her. But perfection is a mask. And control is quieter than rage. The deeper I fall for Victor, the more unstable I appear. The more unstable I appear, the safer she looks. And somewhere between obsession and guilt, between desire and shame, I begin to wonder— Was this affair ever accidental? Or was I placed exactly where she wanted me? This isn’t just betrayal. It’s orchestration. And when the truth finally surfaces, I may discover I was never the villain of this story. Just the weapon
