But to her, he isn’t a stranger—he is the only man who ever stayed in her dreams. Yet when they meet, Atticus denies her completely. Hated for a past she doesn’t remember, Anaphora holds onto one fragile truth—she found him. And this time she won’t let him go. In a land that devours the weak, Anaphora refuses to break.

A man from the future wakes up in the body of a teenager in the year 2000—with all his memories intact. He knows where fortunes will be made, which empires will rise, and how the world will change. But wealth is only the beginning. Behind the scenes, powerful families, hidden forces, and secret organizations shape business, politics, and influence from the shadows.

Ena was just an ordinary person until she boarded the train and awakened a mysterious system. What started as a simulation quickly spiraled out of control. She became the one who nurtured Abundance, the one who guide the Hunt, and something broken enough to walk into the Xianzhou Luofu as a self-annihilator.

Heaven does not make mistakes. But once, it did. Xuan Yin Wuming died a death that did not belong to him. The celestial balance faltered, and to correct its error, Heaven granted him another life. Then another. Then another. Four lives. Not as a hero. Not as a savior. As an anomaly. With each resurrection, Yin Wuming does not seek revenge. He studies. He studies fear - how it governs men better than laws. He studies loyalty - how it fractures under pressure. He studies identity - how a name can be reshaped into a weapon. While others cultivate power through qi and martial arts, he cultivates something far more dangerous: Control. In every life, he builds networks. In every life, he plants seeds. In every life, he dies on purpose - only after securing leverage for the next. He does not defy Heaven. He prepares for it. If destiny is a chessboard, then Heaven is merely another player. And Yin Wuming has already calculated its next move.

“In an age where knowledge cuts deeper than knives, Victoria is about to learn far more than is safe for any soul to bear.” Victoria and Robert were torn from the gentle dullness of their ordinary century and cast into a realm governed by proto-concepts—those ancient, unblinking truths from which life, death, and divinity themselves are carved. Proclaimed “Heroes” by a world too desperate to question its own choices, they were commanded to rise in strength, confront a Demon Lord, and deliver salvation to a land that had never been theirs. Robert donned the mantle with the fervour of a man stepping into destiny. Victoria… hesitated. And in that hesitation, something old—older than scripture, older than light—turned its gaze toward her. She felt its attention like a draft through a locked room. In a moment poised between terror and terrible understanding, she accepted its offer: a contract sealed in silence, a year of her life exchanged for a thing that should never have been permitted to exist. Not in this world. Not in any. She did not yet grasp that, in straying from the Hero’s ordained path, she had not merely shifted her fate— she had begun to unwrite the very scaffolding of her humanity. Now Victoria walks like a phantom through a world that has marched on without her— one year behind the celebrated Hero, yet burdened with an insight so sharp it threatens to cut her free from mortality itself. She can now trespass upon knowledge forbidden to scholars, sorcerers, or even those who stand at the pinnacle of human mastery. She commits the kind of acts whispered only of beings who have stepped beyond the human threshold… and never returned. And in a world built on primordial, immovable truths, one truth endures: Knowledge is power. But power, when mishandled, becomes a curse that devours its bearer— quietly, inevitably, like rot beneath embroidered silk.

After a century of devotion, Xu Qianyi is betrayed on the night she was meant to be wed. The man she loved never wanted her heart—only her blood. As one of the last heirs of a forgotten celestial clan, Qianyi carries a power capable of opening the gates of heaven. When that secret is exposed, the fragile peace she built shatters, forcing her and her adopted sister, Yisha, out of hiding and back into a past that was meant to stay buried. But they are not alone. At her side is Lǐ Wèi, a frost fox demon whose loyalty has never once wavered—not in life, not in death, not even in silence. Raised together within the dangerous elegance of Zuì Mèng Lóu, alongside the enigmatic Wù Fēng and under the watch of the ancient demon Xuán Líng, their bond was never ordinary. It was forged to survive anything. As they search for the truth behind their clan’s destruction, whispers of a spreading spiritual blight begin to surface—one tied to a fallen empire and a history written in blood. The deeper they go, the more dangerous the truth becomes. And the more it threatens to tear them apart. To protect what remains of their family, Qianyi and Yisha must awaken the divine power within their blood and walk the path to ascension. But godhood demands more than strength—it demands sacrifice. And not every heart will survive it.

While the rest of the country eventually succumbs to the "Lost Decade," the Saionji Group emerges as an eternal titan, its shadow stretching over every corner of Japanese society.

Lyra Vale was raised by rebels for one purpose: assassinate the king who destroyed her village. She fails. Captured inside the palace of Aetheris, Lyra expects execution but King Kael offers her something far more dangerous. A choice. Marry him… or die. Bound to the throne as a reluctant queen, Lyra is thrust into a court filled with power-hungry nobles, hidden enemies, and deadly conspiracies. Every step she takes is watched. Every mistake could cost her life. But the greatest threat is not the court. It is the king himself. Kael is not merely a ruler feared for his cruelty—he is bound to an ancient shadow curse that grants him immense power while slowly consuming him from within. A darkness that moves when it should not. A force that is beginning to break free. As the curse grows stronger and enemies close in from all sides, Lyra is forced into an impossible position. The rebels who raised her demand she complete her mission. The king she was meant to kill begins to trust her. And the truth behind her past starts to unravel. Because the night her village was destroyed… may not have been what she believed. Now caught between betrayal, survival, and a bond neither of them fully understands, Lyra must make a choice that will decide the fate of the kingdom. Kill the cursed king. Or become part of the darkness that threatens to consume them both.

With modern knowledge of warfare, logistics, and statecraft, Batu begins reshaping the western frontier. From tribal bloodshed to imperial ambition, from the steppes to the heart of Europe, he will carve a new destiny.

(WARNING: MATURE CONTENT!!!) In a land divided by elements and ruled by powerful lords blessed by ancient gods- Ignarion- god of fire. Vireon -god of storms. Caelion- god of wind. Neryth-goddess of ice and water. And Thalor- god of earth. Every alliance forged and every oath sworn carries the weight of divine power... and ancient prophecy. For centuries, each lord has coveted more power, more dominion, and more control. One spark is all it takes to ignite war. Born of fire, Aurelia Flameborne was once the pride and beloved daughter of Ashmere. A beautiful warrior princess, destined for greatness and betrothed to Neris Winterbourne, the cold and noble Lord of Winter. All of that shatters the day the witch Ishara curses her. After the devastating War of Ashmere, Her face becomes scarred, her magic fractures, and her family locks her away in the tallest tower, too ashamed to let the world see what she has become.

But before her world crumbles completely, a storm rises. Valerian Stormborne, the ambitious and enigmatic Lord of Thunder, steps forward to claim her.

But beneath the surface of mortal schemes, the gods begin to stir. Buried deep in the ashes of Caelmont lies an ancient prophecy: A child blessed by all five gods, born of powers that should never mix, will either unite the fractured realms… or bring about their ruin. Now, every Lord wants that child. Every kingdom seeks to control fate. But the gods? They have plans of their own. Now Aurelia stands at the center of obsession and war. The Lord of Winter who rejected her wants her back. The Lord of Wind hides desire behind a cunning smile. Her sister, plots from the shadows. And Valerian, the man who swore she'd "never be a wife," to him begins to burn for her with a passion he cannot control. Caught between storms, gods, and a love that could destroy kingdoms, Aurelia must rise—or the realms will fall.

But behind Draven’s silence lies something dangerous, and behind Aurelian’s defiance hides a heart that may not be as guarded as he thinks.
