The Chaos Ruler

In the small forge town of Blue Star, Zion has spent his life as an unremarkable blacksmith's apprentice — quick with a hammer, quicker with his appetite, and utterly ordinary in a world where turning sixteen means something far more dangerous: an *Awakening*, the moment the void itself reaches into your life and demands you prove what you're worth. But Zion was never ordinary. He was *hidden*. Raised by the enigmatic Granny Iya — a woman who is far more than the stooped old smith she pretends to be — Zion has spent years unknowingly wearing a veil: a shard of black metal that dulls his presence and keeps him invisible to forces that would otherwise have found him long ago. When Granny Iya finally reveals the truth on the eve of her mysterious departure, she offers no comfort, only rules: never lose the veil, never speak of what happens after the Awakening, and above all — stay humble, because power makes fools loud, and loud fools die. Then she vanishes, leaving Zion alone with a hammer, a set of keys, and a secret he doesn't yet understand. When his sixteenth birthday arrives, the void's voice finds him mid-breath at the forge and drags him into an independent trial space — a realm of absolute dark where survival is the only currency. What should have been a manageable test against ordinary beasts spirals into something far more lethal: an *awakened* monster, a creature no sixteen-year-old should ever be forced to face. Bleeding, broken, and out of options, Zion draws on every brutal lesson Granny Iya ever beat into him — and somehow, impossibly, wins. The void rewards him accordingly. Zion emerges branded with abilities that shouldn't exist: a Supreme-grade sight that lets him perceive the hidden "seams" in reality itself, and a rare, evolvable bloodline capable of consuming the world's extremes and turning them into strength. Gifts that are the stuff of rumor and myth — gifts that mark him as something the world was never supposed to produce. He crawls back to the smithy floor bloodied and changed, staring at a town that slept through it all, innocent and unaware. Granny Iya's rules echo in his skull — *don't lose the veil, tell no one, be humble* — but Zion understands now that the life he knew is already ash behind him. What waits ahead isn't a quiet apprenticeship in a dusty town. It's a furnace: a road that will carry him far past Blue Star's borders, into a wider world of power, danger, and the very forces his guardian spent a lifetime hiding him from. Something noticed him. And now, awake, he has no choice but to go meet it.

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?
