The King of a Kingless Kingdom

A king without a throne. A kingdom ruled by something that should not exist. And a monster who has already paid the price for power. Seraphiel is cast from his castle without war, without revolt—without even an enemy he can name. In his place rises a king who does not rule by presence, but by acceptance. A crown worn by absence. A sovereignty no one can explain, yet everyone obeys. Stripped of title and shelter, Seraphiel is forced into exile as his kingdom continues without him, unchanged and uncaring. The Eye watches. It always has. Far from the throne, Seraphiel encounters Sol—a man marked long before Seraphiel was born, shaped by a curse that rewrote reality itself. Sol does not offer comfort or guidance. He offers understanding sharpened by cruelty. A lesson learned in Seriol, where suffering was permitted, observed, and—at times—admired. Under Sol’s looming prescence, Seraphiel learns that power does not always arrive as force. Sometimes it comes as endurance. Sometimes as complicity. Sometimes as the quiet decision to allow what should never be allowed. Above it all, the Eye looks down on the Kingless Kingdom with something like pity, mourning a cycle it will never interrupt. The Kingless Kingdom is a dark fantasy tragedy about dispossession, false sovereignty, and the slow realization that some evils persist not because they are imposed—but because they are endured. The throne is empty. The crown is worn. And the kingdom remains.

The Dragon Conqueror

After dying an unremarkable death in a modern world, a man is reincarnated into a brutal fantasy continent where dragons rule the skies, royal bloodlines decide fate, and power is earned through fire and war. He awakens as the youngest prince of a declining royal family—weak-bodied, politically irrelevant, and quietly despised. His only advantage is the memory of a past life filled with strategy, patience, and an unyielding will to survive. In this world, dragons are not just monsters but symbols of authority, living calamities bound to ancient laws. Kingdoms rise by dragonfire and fall by dragon wrath. While others seek to slay or worship dragons, the reincarnated prince chooses a forbidden path: to understand, dominate, and ultimately conquer them—not through brute strength alone, but through intelligence, alliances, and long-term vision. Starting from the lowest rung of power, he trains relentlessly, awakens a rare dragon-related bloodline, and slowly builds influence within the royal court. His growth is gradual and realistic—marked by failures, political setbacks, and near-death experiences. As his strength increases, so does the attention around him. Multiple female leads enter his life from different walks of power: a cold royal sister bound by duty and secrets, a dragon-blooded noblewoman struggling against her instincts, a genius mage loyal to knowledge over morality, a warrior princess from a rival kingdom, and others whose ambitions intertwine with his rise. Each relationship develops naturally through shared survival, politics, trust, and emotional growth—forming a harem rooted in loyalty, tension, and mutual benefit rather than instant romance. As the story progresses, the focus expands from personal survival to kingdom building. The protagonist establishes his own faction, reforms military structures, introduces new systems of governance inspired by his past life, and slowly transforms a weak territory into a rising empire. Slice-of-life moments—training, banquets, diplomacy, family conflicts—balance massive wars and dragon-scale battles. Behind the scenes, ancient truths emerge: dragons were never meant to be conquered, reincarnation is no accident, and the world itself resists change. Gods, dragon emperors, and hidden civilizations begin to move as the protagonist’s influence grows. By the later arcs, The Dragon Conqueror evolves into an epic spanning continents and generations—where the once-weak prince stands at the center of a new era, challenging the very laws of the world, deciding whether he will rule as a conqueror, a king, or something far more dangerous. A long-form, slow-burn fantasy saga focused on growth, relationships, strategy, and the cost of absolute power.

Harmonic Rebirth

(Also known as: That time I got Reincarnated With Sound Magic in a World With No Music) In the Kingdom of Vornis, royal blood has always meant one thing: devastating Fire Magic — the ultimate symbol of power, dominance, and unbreakable tradition. But when twin kids are born with the long-forgotten, scorned gift of *Sound Magic* — a “weak” branch dismissed as useless and extinct — the palace erupts in scandal. One twin, however, harbors a secret no one could ever suspect. He remembers his past life as Raze — a 25-year-old failed musician from Earth who died filled with regret, never having made the world smile with his songs. Reborn as *Prince Aster Wynfall*, alongside his devoted twin sister Astra, he makes a vow: *This time, I will not fail.* While a ruthless queen plots to erase the “defective” heirs and the court clings to its fiery legacy, Aster unleashes something this world has never seen: - *Recorded music* that spreads across kingdoms like wildfire. - *Rap* that leaves hardened mages speechless and crowds in tears. - *Concerts* that unite nobles and commoners in shared emotion, shaking the very foundations of power. From a lonely dreamer struck by lightning… to an eleven-year-old prodigy forging empires with melodies, defying the crown, and proving that the rarest magic isn’t weak — it’s the power to move hearts, topple traditions, and make an entire world sing. What if the greatest weapon in a world of fire and sword… was a song no one could ever forget? *Harmonic Rebirth* — A unique musical fantasy isekai blending reincarnation, heartfelt family bonds, clever inventions that rewrite magic itself, defiant underdogs, and an emotional revolution where music becomes the ultimate force of change. If you love stories where the “weakest” power turns out to be the strongest, where talent and love conquer politics and prejudice, and where every note carries the weight of two lifetimes — start reading now. The world is about to learn a new harmony.

LOTR: Children of Refusal

At the Waters of Awakening, an elf is born with memories that don’t belong to this world. When the Valar arrive with their shining offer - salvation, eternal light, a paradise across the sea — he sees what others cannot. A price hidden beneath divine promises. Safety traded for freedom. So he does the unthinkable. He refuses. The Avari-the Unwilling, the Refusers, the ones history will forget — follow him into exile. What unfolds is not a tale of wandering wonder, but of building: walls raised against the coming darkness, weapons forged without divine guidance, a kingdom carved from nothing but will and determination. Because in Middle-earth, freedom is never free. And darkness always comes to collect. ━━━━━━━━ ⟡ AUTHOR’S NOTES ⟡ ━━━━━━━━ Lore-heavy beginning: The opening chapters introduce many Tolkien terms, names, and worldbuilding elements. If it feels dense at first, don’t worry - each chapter ends with a mini-glossary to help you navigate everything easily. Long-form chapters: The chapter count may look small early on, but every chapter is substantial (3,000+ words minimum, often much longer). AU & apologies to lore purists: This is an Alternate Universe kingdom-building story set in Tolkien’s Middle-earth. I apologize in advance to hardcore LOTR fans for any lore liberties or naming mistakes - I’m doing my best to honor the source material while exploring new possibilities. Constructive feedback is always welcome (kindly, please)! Give it a chance. The Avari are waiting!!!
