When Rome Stood Firm

The year is 476 AD. The great beast that is the Western Roman Empire lies dying. Outside the dismal fog-bound walls of Ravenna the barbarian king Odoacer waits patiently with his horde. He is ready to claim the corpse of a civilization that ruled the world for a thousand years. Inside the cold palace sits Romulus Augustus. He is merely fifteen years old. The world sees him as nothing more than a puppet emperor wearing a crown too heavy for his head. He is a placeholder draped in purple silk waiting for history to finally turn the page on Rome. His own people whisper insults behind his back and call him the Little Disgrace. But fate is cruel. When his father, the empire's last true protector, dies in the mud, the illusion of safety shatters completely. The siege begins and Romulus finds himself abandoned. His generals are traitors looking for a new master and his own guards prepare to trade his young life for their safety. He is trapped in a city ready to surrender him to the butchers outside. Yet in the deepest valley of despair a strange new strength is born. Broken by grief and terror Romulus sheds the skin of the frightened boy. He refuses to be a sacrificial lamb. Armed only with a stolen dagger and a burning need for vengeance he crawls out of his besieged city through the filth of the sewers. He goes not to escape but to hunt. Tonight the boy king dies and something else takes his place. History has written Rome’s obituary but the Wolf of Ravenna is about to rewrite it in blood.

The Rise of Chaos

The Rise of Chaos: There were two worlds. Two fates. Two lives that were never meant to intersect. In one world lived a General — a leader forged in modern warfare, both a hero and a victim of the battlefield. He had learned to think by the brutal logic of war. To many, he was a symbol of fear; to a few, a symbol of hope. At the moment an atomic explosion erased everything, his consciousness fell into nothingness… and then awakened once more. In the other world lived Aeth — the young Emperor of the Chaos Empire. Weak, sickly, and powerless, he silently watched the collapse of his empire from the throne. He died. His soul departed, leaving only an empty body behind. And the General awoke within that body. This was not a soul transfer. Nor was it a simple reincarnation. It was the awakening of a new consciousness in a new fate. Aeth’s memories — his failures, fears, and betrayals — flooded the General’s mind. But the one making decisions now was no longer a fragile emperor, but a seasoned commander shaped by countless wars. The General soon realized that this fantasy world’s dangers were not unfamiliar to him. Death here was simple — by blade, arrow, or magic. Betrayal was not hidden, but readable. Compared to the hell he had survived, the wars of this world felt… simplified. Yet, he sought peace. And he understood that in this world, peace could only be reached through victory. The Chaos Empire was on the brink of collapse: demon armies at the borders, dragons in the skies, and traitors within the palace walls. The General did not merely intend to save the empire — he intended to reshape it, to create a controlled, lasting, and unbreakable peace. This is not a story of cruelty. It is the story of a leader who understands war in order to end it. If you desire peace, you must first master the art of war. If you seek paradise, you must first pass through hell. “The Rise of Chaos” is the story of how a general builds his peace in a new world.
