In this chaotic sea ruled by monsters, Marines, and legends, he’ll carve out a new path — one driven not by justice or dreams... but by freedom. Will he rise as a pirate feared across the Grand Line?

The Imperial Crest Hotel stands as the crown of Washington’s luxury, a world of glass, marble, and secrets. Beneath its shimmering beauty works John Raymond, a quiet bellhop who spends his days serving the wealthy and enduring humiliation from those who see him as nothing. But when fate reveals that John is the long-lost heir to the empire that owns the hotel itself, everything changes. The servant becomes the master. The invisible man becomes the power behind every door that once closed in his face. Armed with wealth, intelligence, and the cold patience of a survivor, John begins to rebuild what was stolen from his family. Those who mocked him, the arrogant investors, the corrupt executives, and the woman who betrayed him for luxury soon discover that the man they dismissed is the one who holds their future. Within the glittering halls of The Imperial Crest, vengeance takes form behind polite smiles and business suits. Every deal hides a threat, every favour carries a price, and every betrayal becomes a lesson in justice. The Heir Behind the Crest is a tale of power reclaimed and pain reborn into purpose, a story of a man who rose from servitude to sovereignty and proved that sometimes silence is the loudest roar.

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique evolution to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

In the drab monotony of his 9–5 cubicle life, Lyden Snow never expected anything more exciting than another spreadsheet—until Angela, a four‑hundred‑year‑old succubus of breathtaking beauty, materializes on his commute and shatters his world—literally. One electric liaison later and a screeching car crash send him hurtling into a hospital bed, where he awakens to a staggering truth: he is no longer fully human, nor is his life bound to a single reality. Drawn into the hidden realms that lie parallel to our own, Lyden must traverse the perilous Borderlands—domains woven from ancient myth and ruled by primal forces. There, the “Pillars” that uphold both mortal and immortal worlds are under siege by an unknown darkness. To save everything he holds dear, he must master the unexpected powers pulsing within him, forge uneasy alliances with dragons, merfolk, and other supernatural beings, and confront a conspiracy that reaches back to the dawn of creation. As Lyden’s circle of allies grows—each bearing their own secrets and desires—so too does the danger. Seductive succubi vie for his loyalty, legendary beasts test his mettle, and gods long thought dead stir in their slumber. Every battle brings him closer to the heart of the enigma: what is the true origin of his newfound abilities, and why do the very forces of myth converge around him?

When fate plays matchmaker, even running won’t save you. I’m Alexander Christopher Ethan: Ace the Great if you ask me and I’ve mastered two things in life: disappointing my father and dodging responsibility like it’s an Olympic sport. Seven years ago, a car crash stole my mom and almost took me with her. Dad shipped me abroad to “recover,” and I did… by partying, flirting, and pretending adulthood was someone else’s problem. Then one phone call ruins everything: “Come home.” My welcome-back surprise? An arranged engagement. To a man. A CEO Dad personally handpicked without bothering to ask me. I laugh. I argue. I throw the man’s photo into the fireplace without even looking—and I run. Biggest. Mistake. Ever. Dad’s men chase me through the city until I end up bleeding in an alley with a shattered leg. I’m sure this is how I die. Then he appears. A stranger who fights like an avenging angel and looks at me like I’m worth saving. Maybe it’s the blood loss, maybe it's destiny, but I kiss him, right there in the middle of the chaos. When everything settles, I lie: Lost phone. No home. No idea where to go. He believes me and offers one night. I take it. Then I take another… and another… until one night becomes a week and I’m stupidly, recklessly falling for him. His name is Gabriel. No family. No past. Just the life he built with his own hands. He calls me his shameless brat. I call him my angel. But angels don’t stay forever. My father's men eventually finds me. They drag me home to face my arranged fiancé.....the man I’ve been running from. It’s him. Gabriel. My angel. My lover. The self-made CEO who climbed from orphan to the head of my family’s empire. The man who pulled me from the burning car seven years ago and saved my life. The man I was always meant to marry. And now he realizes the truth: Ethan. Ace. The spoiled heir he was promised, and the runaway he fell for… are the same person. We were both running from this engagement… straight into each other’s arms. I thought I could outrun destiny. All I did was fall in love with it. Now we’re standing in the wreckage of lies, heartbreak, and second chances, and I have only one question: Was this fate… or the universe’s cruelest joke? Either way, I’m done running. Not from him. Not from us. Not from the future I tried so hard to escape. Because sometimes the person you’re meant for… is the one you’ve been running toward all along.

But when Falcone Industries teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, her world begins to crumble. Desperate to save her family’s legacy, Sara turns to the last person she ever thought she would, her greatest rival, and once, her secret crush: Luca De Augustino. Cold, calculating, and infuriatingly powerful, Luca offers her a way out, but at a cost. In exchange for rescuing her company, she must agree to a contract marriage with him. Luca De Augustino, heir and CEO of the mighty Augustino Group, was raised to lead without compromise and to never bow to anyone. Yet there was one person who always challenged him, Sara. Years ago, when she confessed her feelings, he shattered her heart with cruel rejection. Seven long years have passed since that day, but fate brings them back together. Now, bound by a one-year contract marriage, Sara must navigate a dangerous game of pride, power, and unresolved emotions while Luca sees this as his chance to finally claim the one woman who once loved him. ~~~~~ “You think I'll help you just because you pathetically kneel in front of me!” Luca chuckled. “What happened to the woman who always held her head high in pride?” “If you don't want to help me, then just say so!” Sara raised her voice. Standing up, she turned to leave when Luca grasped her hand, thus making her turn to him. “Fine, I'll help you. But there's a condition,” Luca pronounced. “And what's this condition?” asked Sara. “Become Mrs. De Augustino. In short, marry me, Sara Falcone.” ~~~~~ *All the names and places used in the story have nothing to do with the reality. It's a fiction.*

“Ruling is the duty of oversight, to oversee instead of create. To govern instead of live. It came with power and prestige, with obligation and responsibility. Soldiers fought and farmers farmed, but to be King is to rule. To maintain the illusion of power one’s forefathers had built. Marcus didn’t care for any of it. He saw magic when he first opened his eyes, and nothing else ever compared. But the King is old and he an only child. Decisions had to be made. Important, hard decisions. No one expected much of him. Not in regards to anything but magic. They were right not to. Until the cube. Until it taught him what life meant for people not born into nobility, and that all his skill with the arcane did not make him immortal. That running from problems did not, in fact, make them go away. Marcus Sepsimus Lannoy—Marcus to the friends he did not have—touched something he should not have on the day he planned to run from his problems.” Inspiration taken from The Menocht Loop, A Practical Guide to Evil and everything else I have ever read in my life. But mostly the first two, though not overly much from either. Concepts and the like. I hope to do them justice. Am I rambling? I feel like I’m rambling.

Gabriel voiced in a possessive yet intimidating tone.  Amelie didn’t know that the man, who saved her was none other than the infamous Dark Tyrant—the Alpha Prince, Gabriel Sinclair, whose intentions were still unknown to her. ~~~~ **The Story is a pure fiction.
