Ever since Aiden’s death, nights have become unbearable, quiet, suffocating, and filled with memories that refuse to fade. It is on one such day, when despair weighs heavier than reason, that Claire crosses paths with a ragged beggar in a forgotten alley. After saving him from harm, he presses a simple, weathered watch into her palm and whispers a warning disguised as a promise: "The watch can turn back time." Claire dismisses it as madness. And yet when night falls and loneliness tightens its grip, she finds herself clutching the watch in the dark, tears soaking her sleeves, and a heart aching for the man she lost. With nothing left to believe in, she closes her eyes and wishes just once to see Aiden again. Time answers... But not as she expects. Instead of returning to the day Aiden dies, Claire awakens in another timeline entirely reborn as Princess Clara Ashford of Vandenberg, a royal bound by duty, secrets, and a fate already in motion. In this world, Aiden lives as a count under a different name Caelum Ren Sinclair, a young general celebrated for his unparalleled swordsmanship and unwavering loyalty to the crown. As Claire realizes that saving Aiden means more than stopping a single death, she must uncover the truth behind Clara’s identity, the fragmented memories locked, and the hidden connections binding the people around her; alliances, betrayals, and secrets long buried by time. To save Aiden, Claire must understand who Clara truly was… and decide whether changing the past will cost her the future... Because in this world, love is both her greatest strength... and her greatest risk.

Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

Not every meeting happens in the living world. Before their bodies were exchanged, Ruqayyah and Aisha met in a white, silent space—a place where words were unnecessary, and understanding came without explanation. There, a mysterious device awaited them: the Book of Qadar. Though it looked like a book, it was a system—a mechanism that allowed the Keeper of Light, Saleh, to communicate with them and give them tasks. It did not show the future; it revealed that every life has a limit, and every choice carries weight. When Aisha woke in the modern era, a world without servants, rules, or walls separating what was permitted and forbidden. Freedom, she soon learned, could be just as frightening. At the same times, Ruqayyah opened her eyes, she was no longer in the 21st century. She had become Aisha bint Al-Fadl, daughter of a powerful vizier in the Abbasid Dynasty—a world of knowledge, politics, and hidden dangers. As history unfolded, their lives became threads in a far larger design. Across centuries and dynasties, one bloodline would be called again and again—not to change history, not to save the world, but to face the same question in different eras: If your life is only one chapter in a book you cannot finish, what will you do before the page turns?

Crown Princess Seraphine is a monster draped in velvet. Cold. Heartless. Vain. They call her The Demoness Crowned, a woman whose smile signals punishment, whose silence strikes deeper than steel. She has never bowed. Never begged. Never wept where anyone could see. She walks the marble corridors with her spine straight, her chin lifted, and a blade sharper than most men’s pride strapped like an accessory around her waist. But behind locked doors, where only shadows dare to watch, Seraphine removes the mask she was forced to wear. She is not soft. But she is tired. She replays the cruelties she dealt, the mercy she withheld. Sometimes she wonders if she was born unkind— Or simply raised that way. Because in a palace where women are either worshipped or wounded, Seraphine learned young: Kindness is a luxury. Mercy is a weakness. And love? Love is a weapon used to gut the willing. She did not survive her parents to become gentle. Her swordsmanship rivals that of any general, taught in secret, honed in silence, perfected through necessity. She was forged by betrayal. Sharpened by grief. Hardened by a lifetime of knowing that the world would rather see her dead than powerful. Her husband, Crown Prince Lucien, despises her. Their marriage is nothing more than a political chain, inked in blood and sealed with mutual disdain. To him, she is everything wrong with the throne. To her, he is another man who never bothered to look past the armor she didn’t choose. Is she cruel? Or did cruelty become her only language of survival? And if a woman wears the title of monster long enough… Does it matter if it was a lie? Or will she eventually become the very thing they were always afraid she’d be?

Every man who falls in love with her suffers an accident within thirty days. The deeper the love, the closer the death. In a village where gossip ruins lives and superstition rules hearts, she quickly becomes the “omen bride”—the woman no one dares to court, and no family wants near their sons. Her only safety is Gu Chen, the cold, disciplined soldier who doesn’t believe in love at all. So she clings to him. Not for romance— but survival. A fake marriage rumor becomes her shield. His emotional distance keeps him alive. Until he starts caring. A hand on her wrist. A coat over her shoulders. A quiet “stay behind me.” And the curse begins to notice. As accidents creep closer to him, Lin Yue must do the one thing that hurts most—push away the only man who never feared her. But Gu Chen has already made his choice. Because this time, love isn’t just a feeling. It’s a countdown. And if loving her means dying— he might still choose it.

In an age of blood, steel, and freezing spray, a Viking’s worth is measured by the swing of his axe. They are raiders. They are conquerors. They are the terror of the North.

Soon, they will realize that while they are playing at war, he is engineering an empire. -------- Disclaimer: *Kingdom Building & Tech-Uplift: MC uses modern engineering to revolutionize the Viking Age. *Weak-to-Strong: Starts as a despised bastard, progresses to a wealthy tycoon/warlord. *High Detail: Detailed descriptions of ship-building and primitive industrialization.

In The First Of Three Books, Crossworlds-Divinity Is A Story Set In A Realm Based On Magic. From the view of Leon Knidhear.

In the gothic shadow of Sidonia Kemis, the boundary between humanity and horror is crumbling. From the dimension of Sarx, parasitic entities known as Tumors breach the veil, possessing the innocent and twisting them into flesh-eating monstrosities. It is a grim age where steam mixes with blood, and the only line of defense against the darkness is the Holy Convent. To fight these monsters, the Church creates monsters of their own—elite executioners known as Priests who wield "Gospels." These are not prayers, but terrible curses that weaponize the body, allowing the faithful to burn, crush, and slice through the corruption at the cost of their own humanity. But the true threat may not come from the dimension of flesh, but from within the sanctuary itself. It all started with Sister Blood. A heretic hiding within the Convent’s elite ranks, she has set a divine conspiracy in motion that threatens to shatter the natural order. Her scheme began with a single, twisted act: the delivery of a "gift" wrapped in swaddling clothes to a retired executioner who thought his war was over. Now, dragged back into a conflict he tried to escape, one man must navigate a treacherous world of mad science, ancient sea beasts, and political betrayal. Hunted by the organization he once served and burdened by a mutation that is slowly turning him into a beast, he must uncover the truth behind the heresy. In a world where divinity is just another word for power, the only way to survive is to become something worse than the devil. Support Author at: https://www.patreon.com/ZenpaiTrans
