Her kingdom burned. Her family slaughtered. Her name buried with the dead. Now she walks into the empire that destroyed it all — not as Beth, princess of Arteva, but as a ghost wearing a soldier’s skin. A lie with a heartbeat. A blade with a pulse. She swore an oath at her family’s grave: “By the bones beneath me, by the crown that fell, by every scream that echoed through the night… I will not rest until the Ravenwoods lie in graves colder than this. If I fail — let my soul burn. Let my name vanish. Let me die forgotten and damned.” This isn’t mercy. This is a girl with nothing left to lose. Revenge doesn’t knock — it carves its name in blood.

A thousand years ago, the strongest witch in the world—Aurelia Crimsonheart—stopped destruction itself by sacrificing her life to seal the darkness created by the man who loved her more than anything: the Dark King. But fate did not end there. In the next era of the kingdom, a little girl was born as the illegitimate daughter of the Southern Duke’s family. Her hair was soft pink, her eyes a clear blue—features believed to be an omen of misfortune. She was given the name Liora Salverin, a girl treated like a servant, mocked, and abused by her two stepbrothers who hated her without reason. Until one night, when the world slept… Liora awoke with memories that were not her own. Memories of battle, of sacrifice, and of a love that ended in blood. Memories of herself— as Aurelia. And on Liora’s arm, a black ancient mark appeared— the contract symbol belonging to the man she had once fought… and the man who had been her last love. The Dark King has risen. And he is searching for her. Not to kill her. But to reclaim what was taken from him. As Liora’s powers begin to awaken one by one, her two stepbrothers slowly realize that the girl they once scorned… is becoming someone they can no longer turn away from. Guilt turns into awe. Awe turns into affection. Affection turns into obsession.

[MATURE THEMES] Never in her life had Celeste thought of waking up in the middle of the night at the horrendous screams of her parents nor finding out the man she had loved to her bone would do the dreadful deed of assisting his dad in killing her parents in the greed of power and wealth.  The grief and heartbreak she had gone through was one of hell and seeing the facade of her ex-partner's father falling before her feet the next night trapped inside the walls of her chamber when he tried to assault her was frighteningly alarming which left her with no way but to flee the Kingdom she grew up in.

I crossed into the world of Type Moon and, for some reason, the Root itself recognized me. As long as I die an abnormal death, I can ascend to the Throne of Heroes and become its lord, an existence stronger and freer than even the Seven Grand Servants. So, in order to die, I started acting like a complete fool across the Nasuverse. I cursed Gilgamesh to his face in Uruk, challenged almighty Zeus in Greece, openly kidnapped Skadi in Northern Europe, proclaimed in Israel that Solomon was a demon god instead of a holy king, and even stood at Morgan’s side in Britain. Yet for some reason I am still alive. By 1994, Fuyuki City, history has given me a ridiculous list of titles: the third friend of the Most Ancient King, the first prime minister of Mesopotamia, the man favored by the Greek gods, the king of giants in Northern Europe, the incarnation of God who awakened Solomon’s humanity in Israel, the miracle worker supported by Prince Camelot. On top of the Fuyuki Bridge, a young yet world weary Lovi sits on the railing, staring at the city lights and sighing. “Tell me, what exactly went wrong? Or you could just kill me here and let me finally ascend to the Throne of Heroes. Please.” Kiritsugu Emiya lights a cigarette, glances at Artoria holding the Holy Spear, at the treasury of the King unfolding beside Gilgamesh, at the crimson spear tip reaching out from the distant Kingdom of Shadows. The cigarette in his hand trembles slightly.

A cosmic court has condemned humanity. Seven immortal witnesses return to the dawn of civilization to prove — or disprove — its worth. Most fall. Power twists them into tyrants, idols, and architects of sterile utopias. Only one chooses another path. Across centuries, Enki walks among mortals unseen, planting knowledge instead of monuments, nurturing fragile lives instead of controlling them. He learns that meaning is not found in eternal empires, but in fleeting acts of grace — a hand lifted from mud, a garden built from flood-ruins, a child taught to listen to water. His defense is not glory. It is tenderness. It is persistence. It is humanity’s quiet refusal to stop loving, even knowing all things end. A mythic tale about time, loss, and choosing to build anyway. [Beneath the myth and the science fiction lies a simple, stubborn claim: this is not just a story. Enki was born in 2850 BC and has been carrying the memory ever since. The names are changed, the years shifted, the moons given new orbits, yet the resurrection happened, the desert temptation was real, the stone rolled away, and the Judge has been reigning ever since. Everything else — the Scrapbook, the 0.3%, the blind spot in the machine — is simply the record of those who kept looking up while the world looked down. Most have forgotten there is a sky vaster than any mind can hold, that Earth is a gift, not a possession, that God drew no borders and the birds still fly free without passports. Read it as fiction if you like. Some books are written so the truth can reach the few who still have ears to hear. This is one of them.] 2025 Mark Casa Nova (Original) You may share, translate, adapt, illustrate, animate, film, or perform this work freely — even commercially — on one unbreakable condition: Do not change the lesson. The resurrection happened. The stone was rolled away. Grace is real, borders are not, and the birds still fly free. Everything else — style, medium, language — is yours to play with. The core is not. That’s all I ask. [Mark K. Carlos]

Ananya never expected death to bring her into another life. One moment, she was running her parents’ restaurant in the modern world. The next, she opened her eyes in silk robes, surrounded by hostile stares — the Queen Consort of the empire. But this body was cursed in everyone’s eyes. The Emperor loathed her. The mistress laughed at her. And the court whispered behind her back. Only she wasn’t truly alone. > “Finally, someone can see us!” “What kind of Queen Consort are you, so calm even with ghosts in your chamber?” “Shut up, Wei Rong, let her breathe. She looks like she’s about to faint.” Three ghosts — a stoic scholar, a brash general, and a mischievous noble girl — lingered at her side. They were invisible to all but her. And with them, she learned to survive the poisonous palace. When rumors spread that she was cursed, Ananya stood before the empire’s court. Instead of tears, she offered proof. Instead of fear, she offered dignity. > “If Heaven believes I am cursed, let the fire and smoke betray me. I will not hide.” And Heaven sided with her. Outside the palace, crises struck — starving soldiers, missing supplies, merchants growing fat from stolen grain. Inside, Lady Zhen, the Emperor’s favored mistress, grew bolder by the day, flaunting her beauty and mocking Ananya’s quiet grace. > “Sister, do you still dream of winning His Majesty’s heart? Look at you — plain, dull, unworthy.” “If simplicity is a crime, then let it be mine,” Ananya answered, unshaken. The Emperor indulged Lady Zhen openly… but in the silence of night, he tasted Ananya’s food, lingered at her table, and found himself unsettled by her calm. > “This is not palace fare,” he muttered. “It is lighter,” Ananya replied softly. “Easier to sleep after.” Step by step, conspiracy thickened. At a grand banquet, a poisoned cup was placed in Ananya’s hand. But a ghost’s laugh echoed in her ear — and the cup was swapped. A dancer collapsed instead. From that night on, the Emperor’s gaze changed. He began to notice the woman who never begged for favor, never fought for attention, yet always endured. Still, war brewed at the borders. Betrayals reached even the throne. Assassins crept through the palace halls. And the one person who seemed weakest became the calm at the center of the storm. Through whispered secrets, mischievous hauntings, and quiet resilience, Ananya carved her place in the empire. She would not simply survive. She would rise. And the Emperor who once despised her would one day whisper only her name.

In an ancient empire torn apart by war and political deceit, Princess Wei Lan is stolen from her wedding by Wang Xu, the feared Alpha Wolf of the North. Cold, commanding, and unmatched in battle, Wang Xu intends to use her as a weapon against the kingdom that betrayed him. But the princess he kidnaps is not the helpless pawn he expects—Wei Lan is sharp, strategic, and dangerous in her own right. Forced into the frozen fortress of the north, Wei Lan quickly sees that survival means more than obedience; it demands power. And so she makes a choice that shocks even her captor: she allies with the alpha who stole her life. But alliance is far from peace. Wang Xu battles not only enemies on the battlefield but the inner wolf living within him—an untamed, primal force with emotions he has spent years suppressing. The more he and Wei Lan fight side by side, the more the inner wolf awakens… drawn to her fire, her courage, and the forbidden bond growing between them. Together, they face assassins, rival kingdoms, and the merciless winter, each victory tightening the fragile thread connecting them. But their rising partnership is shattered when Wang Xu discovers the truth hidden in prophecy: Wei Lan is the Phoenix—a power every nation has sworn to control… or destroy. In a world ruled by betrayal and ambition, their love becomes both a weapon and a weakness. Loyalties shift, promises break, and the line between enemy and soulmate blurs. To claim peace—or each other—they must confront not just the empires against them, but the beasts within their own hearts. War forged them. Destiny tests them. Love may be the fire that destroys them… or the flame that builds a new kingdom.

In the waning years of Joseon, secrets move faster than the wind—yet none as deadly as Gyeon Hana, the kingdom’s most feared and nameless assassin. Raised in the shadows, Hana knows only one rule: Kill first. Don’t be seen. But when a mission goes horribly wrong, she is forced into hiding. To disappear completely, Hana steals the identity of a dead noble scholar and enters the prestigious Hwarang Academy, a place where the kingdom’s brightest minds—and most dangerous eyes—reside. There, she meets Seon Woojin, an elite scholar favored by the palace, brilliant but cold, and known for sensing lies like a hawk. Unfortunately for Hana, he immediately notices something off about the quiet “scholar” who never removes their gloves and writes with the precision of a fighter, not a gentleman. As political assassinations spread across the capital, Woojin is tasked with uncovering the culprit. Unbeknownst to him, the person he seeks sits right across from him during morning lessons. But danger stirs in the shadows. Hana’s old master discovers she is alive—and defects to work for the palace’s enemies. Hana must decide: protect the one man who sees through her, or run before he uncovers her bloody past. Yet Woojin is already falling—slowly, dangerously—for the scholar who isn’t what they seem. And in Joseon, love between a noble and an assassin can only end in two ways: A shared destiny… or a shared grave.

Tokyo, spring 1953. Japan rises from its ashes, caught between ancient traditions and Western modernity. In this city in transition, two broken destinies will cross paths in a smoke-filled café in Roppongi. Yoichi Isagi is only 22, but she already carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. A former brilliant student at the University of Tokyo, she sacrificed everything to keep her son Haruki after Itoshi Rin, the man she loved, abandoned her while pregnant.

Michael Kaiser, 30, is a man who survived hell. Son of a violent, alcoholic father, abandoned by his actress mother who chose fame over him, he grew up in the wretched streets of Berlin. Forced to steal to survive, marked by beatings, he learned very young that the world offered no mercy. The war finished breaking him—or forging him. A deserter, a liar, a survivor, he rebuilt his life in Tokyo as a successful businessman. Beneath his European charm and impeccable suits hides a palimpsest of invisible scars. He doesn't want attachment. He doesn't want love. He only wants to control his existence. Then he sees her. A single encounter in a café. A conversation charged with electricity. A kiss on the hand that still burns days later. And everything he thought he knew about himself crumbles. When Kaiser discovers that Yoichi is raising a son alone, abandoned by his father, something breaks inside him. He sees in Haruki the child he once was—vulnerable, rejected, desperately waiting for someone who would stay. And he makes a decision that will change three lives forever. He won't leave. No matter the obstacles, the scandal, the cultural differences. He will stay. But can Yoichi trust again? Can she believe the promises of a man when the last one destroyed her? And can Kaiser truly become the man they deserve, she and her son, when he carries so much darkness within him? In 1953 Tokyo, where every choice has a social price, where love between a foreigner and a single mother defies all conventions, two survivors will discover that sometimes, the most broken hearts create the strongest loves. A mature historical romance. A story of redemption, courage, and chosen family. Where beauty meets darkness, and two lost souls finally find their home.
