The King's Gambit: The Bastard Son Returns

So, what’s this novel about? Think 'Squid Game' meets 'Game of Thrones'. ✧˖°── .✦───☼༺☆༻☾───✦.── °˖✧ In a kingdom where the crown is not passed by blood. Even a prince must earn it and even a peasant can claim it. Keiser was a knight of the royal brigade, one of the first commoners ever to reach the final trial of the King’s Gambit. A brutal tradition decided the kingdom’s next king. While nobles trained their entire lives for it, Keiser… born with no mana, rose through grit, loyalty, and unyielding strength. At his side stood Prince Gideon Aury Valemont, the king’s fourth son, who had seemingly renounced his own claim to support Keiser. Or so Keiser believed. It was in the final trial that the truth revealed its fangs. Keiser had been nothing but a pawn. Gideon had used him as a shield, a decoy to draw assassins and rivals, all while secretly paving his own path to the throne. In the trial, a candidate’s kingmaker must either make the ultimate sacrifice or betray their chosen king and seize the throne. Gideon chose the crown. Bloodied and broken, Keiser knelt, impaled by the very sword Gideon gifted to him. A blade forged from the core of a dragon he had once sworn to free, now twisted into the instrument of his death. Smoke curled from seared flesh, sigils burned into his skin by the hand he once trusted most. As numbness dulled the pain, he raised his gaze... And beheld Gideon, crowned in gold and betrayal... a serpent in royal silk, enthroned by treachery and gilded lies. In that final breath, Keiser understood. The King’s Gambit had never been about valor or justice. It was a masquerade of shadows, where victory belonged not to the strongest... but to the most ruthless deceiver. But death was not his end. Keiser awakens in the body of Muzio Auro Valemont, the king’s disgraced tenth prince, long-missing bastard son, doomed to die before the Gambit even begins. To stop history from repeating, Keiser must find the man he once was, must convince his former self that betrayal is coming, that Gideon will drive into his back the very blade forged from the dragon he once freed. Even if it means entering the Trials again in a body too weak to hold a sword. Even if it means bleeding himself dry to keep pace with his mind. Even if it means turning to the forbidden art of Blood Scripting. Keiser---now Muzio, must train, scheme, and survive... Not as the knight who flew too close to the sun, But as the bastard son hidden in its shadow. He no longer seeks the crown. He seeks to destroy all who dare to wear it. ༻✦༺  ༻✧༺ ༻✦༺ Unofficial tags are: #Transmigration, #Regression #TimeTravel, #BodySwap #IdentityRebirth #MagicSystem #Greek/Latin/Symbols/Weird-Magic-System, #BloodMagic #ForbiddenArts #StrongToWeak / #WeakToStrong, #Trial-by-Succession, #FoundFamily #Mystery, #HorrorElements, #Elves, #Dragons, #Fae, #Sirens, ━⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅━ If any of that caught your interest, give the story a try, and hopefully you'll find it better than expected.

Football Dynasty

Richard Maddox, a once-promising football prodigy, dreamed of becoming a star. But just as his dream was within reach, it was abruptly shattered when he banged his head on the goalpost, fracturing his skull. Forced into early retirement, Richard vanished from the public eye. People thought Richard Maddox was done for. However, no one expected that during his unconscious state, his spirit detached from his body. He drifted through time, witnessing the world of football from the perspective of a ghost. It was strange, unpleasant, yet exciting. No need for tickets or travel—he could simply fly. England, Italy, Spain, Germany—the best football countries in Europe—and even the passionate South America, the energetic Africa, and the growing Asia—Richard observed the rise and fall of football giants, all from the sidelines. However, watching football from the other side was quite different from experiencing it live. He missed the cheering, singing, and chanting with the other fans. No one could hear him now. No one could watch football with him. He was... alone. Just as Richard was about to be bored to death, his soul was sucked back, and he realized that only an entire year had passed. 'Interesting,' he thought, laughing. “I could bet, invest in companies that will succeed in the future, and get rich. Bitcoin, I'm coming, baby.” but who could have guessed that Richard would dive so deep into the world of football—From owning a single share to testing the waters as a scout, trying his hand as an agent, and eventually stepping into the world of coaching, before finally diving into the realm of football club ownership. It has truly been a full spectrum of football, the highs and the lows. Join us as we welcome Richard Maddox!

Hollywood Princess

Once upon a time, she wasn’t just controversial—she was Hollywood’s favorite chew toy. The tabloids fed on her like vultures, critics sharpened their knives with her name on them, and audiences rolled their eyes at the mere mention of her films. Washed-up. Deranged. A one-hit wonder who’d flown too close to the sun and torched her own wings on the way down. And then came the implosion. Bankrupt. Ghosted by every studio she’d ever worked with. Erased from call sheets, from awards circuits, from the entire industry she’d once breathed like oxygen. When the world slammed the door in her face, she didn’t fight—she folded. Pride bruised, heart cracked, she vanished into the shadows, surviving off cheap coffee, odd jobs, and the stubborn lie that she didn’t miss the spotlight. But now? Life has a funny way of circling back—and it just hurled her to rock bottom again. Only this time, she’s not hiding. This time, she’s done letting critics write her obituary before her comeback. She’s done being the cautionary tale whispered about at industry parties. With nothing left to lose, she’s going to claw her way up the mountain she once fell off—one gamble, one film, one miracle at a time. She’s ready to resurrect the dream she buried… and burn down every expectation in her path. Hollywood thinks it knows her story. It has no idea what’s coming. A meteor. A wildfire. A reclamation. She’s not aiming for redemption. She’s coming for the throne. “She’s a born director.” — TIME Magazine
