Late-night doom-scrolling led me to a pop-up ad: “I’m a live-in helper. I’ll pay you $100 to move in. Available tomorrow.” I laughed—and clicked. At first, it felt like luck. Then convenience. Then my life began to change— quietly, subtly, in ways I couldn’t explain. I learned too late that what’s free always costs the most. And the payment is due tonight—with me, or with you.

Light Beneath the Ashes is a dark fantasy tale set in a world ruled by power, hierarchy, and hidden corruption. Society is divided into rigid levels - from those who sit closest to the throne to those who have nothing, not even a name to be remembered by. Justice exists only on paper, while truth is buried beneath influence, wealth, and fear. Those at the top never fall, and those at the bottom are never saved. In this world, dungeons promise glory, but also hide secrets meant to protect the powerful. Raids fail, stories are silenced, and deaths are carefully avoided - not by chance, but by design. From the ashes of broken families and stolen lives, individuals rise - not driven by revenge alone, but by a desire to expose the rot that poisons everything. Their pasts burn within them, shaping their strength, their choices, and their scars. This is not a story about heroes chosen by fate. It is a story about people who refuse to accept a world that feeds on the weak - and the fire they become when pushed too far.

“Chantelle Bently, you’re a murderer! Why are you still alive? You should have been the one to die!” Daniel shoved her away furiously, his face as dark and empty as the black suit he wore. Chantelle was caught off guard and lost her balance, falling hard onto her pregnant belly. The pain was unbearable, and she cried out as her body trembled. Chantelle shook her head desperately. “I told you, it wasn’t me! It was Kate!” In a trembling voice, she pleaded, “Daniel, how many times do I have to say this before you believe me? I didn’t betray your family or the Wilson Group Of Companies, and I didn’t cause your grandfather’s death.” Anger and resentment appeared in Daniel’s eyes as he threw the divorce settlement in Chantelle’s face. “Sign this now! From this day forward, I’ll make you pay a thousand times for everything you’ve done!” The sight of the document struck Chantelle like a dagger to her heart. Her whole body froze as if she had been cast into the icy wastelands of Hell. **** Her twin sister framed her, and her perfect family was destroyed on Christmas Eve. Things got worse when her husband handed her a divorce agreement. A month later, rumors spread that she had died in prison from depression. Six years later, she returned with a new face to take her revenge. She was beautiful but dangerous. Daniel felt both devastated and irritated when he saw the mysterious woman.

Despite his anger, he couldn’t deny the strong attraction he felt toward her. In fact, he was fatally obsessed and addicted to her, and the anger that had controlled him for six years slowly started to crumble.

Betrayed on the battlefield and left to die beneath a burning sky, Princess Emily of Norvale should have vanished with her fallen kingdom. But fate had other plans.

I screamed. So hard I could feel my throat get dry and sore. My nails ripped into the silk, my toes curling as warm blood spilled and ruined the prestine sheets beneath me.

"You will hold your tongue, or I will see you thrown from these halls like the fool you are!" I spat, every word sharpened by rage.

I could sense the chamber itself holding its breath, fear creeping into the hearts of all who dared meet my eyes. They longed to vanish, to be anywhere but before their queen in her wrath.

If you could choose any League of Legends ability kit and bring it into the world of One Piece, what would you take? Yang Ning was one of the rare few given that chance. Understanding better than anyone the terrifying power of raw numbers, he didn’t waste time on flashy mobility or crowd control. Instead, he committed fully to a single belief—growth without limit. Infinite scaling. Infinite durability. Infinite output. He selected Thresh’s passive Damnation, Nasus’s infinitely stacking Siphoning Strike (Q), Sion’s health-scaling Soul Furnace (W), Kayle’s ranged Starfire Spellblade (E), and, as the finishing touch, Cho’Gath’s monstrous health-gaining Feast (R).

In a world where even giants tremble before the likes of Kaido, what happens when a man walks the earth whose stats do not stop growing? When asked whether he regretted giving up mobility or utility, Yang Ning simply shrugged and said: “It wasn’t an easy decision… but honestly? With scaling like this, who needs anything else?”
