"The law says a Queen cannot rule. The King says the law must be cheated to save the world." To protect the Seven Kingdoms from the rising darkness of Draeven Zareth, King Aetheron and his most trusted ally, Lord Kaelor, commit a desperate act of high treason. They swap their newborn children. Azeal, the son of a Lord, is raised as the Crown Prince—the "False Heir" who must endure the brutal Shadowed Abyss to prove his worth. Vaelora, the true Princess, is raised in the shadows of the court, her royal blood hidden to keep her safe from ancient laws and even deadlier enemies. But fate cannot be tricked so easily. As Azeal and Vaelora grow up together, a forbidden love ignites between them—a bond that defies the roles they were forced to play. Azeal fights to become the strongest King Solthera has ever seen, while Vaelora becomes the fire that guides his soul. When the Shadowed Abyss calls, the test is not just of strength, but of the heart. As Draeven Zareth’s forbidden magic breaches the borders, the truth of the swap begins to leak like poison. Azeal must face the ultimate trial: If he is not the true King, can his love and courage still save the woman he was born to protect? A saga of sacrifice, ancient trials, and a love that asks the heavens for one more chance: "Born me again." "This story is also being published on Royal Road by Barniya."*

Mana was a brilliant young lawyer working for the biggest international law firm in the world. With her prodigious talents, influential family and a perfect fiancé, her life was considered a dream come true…until a freak accident cost her everything. Or so she thought. After three years of being confined to a hospital bed, the man she had loved with all her heart told her about his betrayal as he slit her throat. The next moment, Mana found herself in the body of a sickly ten-year-old princess of the same name, in a world she thought to be fictional. “The Legend of Mars” was an ancient epic chronicling the adventures of the divine King Mars and his virtuous wife, Queen Astra, and their triumph over the evil, half-demon emperor Raven. Princess Mana was the unfortunate half-sister of Princess Astra, who died at the age of ten…and somehow pulled in Mana’s soul. And thus, Royal Princess Mana decided to make the best of her new chance at life and seek happiness. However, she soon found that what she had read in “The Legend of Mars” and the actual people she met were very different. Why was the divine child Mars an insufferable brat? Why was the virtuous Astra plotting nefarious schemes? Why did the brother of Mars look exactly like her traitorous fiancé of her previous life? And the meek little boy she accidentally rescued was actually the fearsome evil emperor …? But why on earth was he clinging to her and looking at her with puppy eyes?

In a world where Death is not an ending but a presence that walks among gods, Nyxaroth—the Eternal Night—has ruled existence since the dawn of time. Feared by all, bound to no one, he has never questioned his purpose… until a single human defies him. She does not beg. She does not run. And when Death comes for her, she meets his gaze without fear. That moment changes everything. From an impossible union between Nyxaroth and a mortal woman is born Dorian Vale, a child who carries the weight of both life and death within him. Neither fully divine nor fully human, Dorian grows up under the quiet shadow of his father’s legacy, struggling to control powers that could end lives with a thought. But control is fragile. And fate has plans of its own. When Lena Hart, a soft-spoken human girl untouched by the cruelty of the divine world, crosses paths with Dorian, she becomes the one variable he cannot predict. Where others see danger, she sees something else—something human. Something worth saving. As their connection deepens, so does the tension between destiny and desire. Dorian begins to question everything he was raised to believe: that attachment is weakness, that love is a flaw, that death is absolute. Because loving Lena may be the one thing even Death cannot control. But ancient forces are watching. Lothaire, the Devil and Nyxaroth’s oldest companion, remembers the first time Death hesitated… and the consequences that followed. Now, with the balance between realms shifting once again, secrets buried since the beginning of time begin to surface. And as enemies close in and powers awaken, Dorian must confront the truth: He is not just the son of Death. He may be the one destined to either preserve the balance of existence… or destroy it completely. In a world where even Death can love, the greatest danger is not dying… but losing control of what you love most.

Ananya never expected death to bring her into another life. One moment, she was running her parents’ restaurant in the modern world. The next, she opened her eyes in silk robes, surrounded by hostile stares — the Queen Consort of the empire. But this body was cursed in everyone’s eyes. The Emperor loathed her. The mistress laughed at her. And the court whispered behind her back. Only she wasn’t truly alone. > “Finally, someone can see us!” “What kind of Queen Consort are you, so calm even with ghosts in your chamber?” “Shut up, Wei Rong, let her breathe. She looks like she’s about to faint.” Three ghosts — a stoic scholar, a brash general, and a mischievous noble girl — lingered at her side. They were invisible to all but her. And with them, she learned to survive the poisonous palace. When rumors spread that she was cursed, Ananya stood before the empire’s court. Instead of tears, she offered proof. Instead of fear, she offered dignity. > “If Heaven believes I am cursed, let the fire and smoke betray me. I will not hide.” And Heaven sided with her. Outside the palace, crises struck — starving soldiers, missing supplies, merchants growing fat from stolen grain. Inside, Lady Zhen, the Emperor’s favored mistress, grew bolder by the day, flaunting her beauty and mocking Ananya’s quiet grace. > “Sister, do you still dream of winning His Majesty’s heart? Look at you — plain, dull, unworthy.” “If simplicity is a crime, then let it be mine,” Ananya answered, unshaken. The Emperor indulged Lady Zhen openly… but in the silence of night, he tasted Ananya’s food, lingered at her table, and found himself unsettled by her calm. > “This is not palace fare,” he muttered. “It is lighter,” Ananya replied softly. “Easier to sleep after.” Step by step, conspiracy thickened. At a grand banquet, a poisoned cup was placed in Ananya’s hand. But a ghost’s laugh echoed in her ear — and the cup was swapped. A dancer collapsed instead. From that night on, the Emperor’s gaze changed. He began to notice the woman who never begged for favor, never fought for attention, yet always endured. Still, war brewed at the borders. Betrayals reached even the throne. Assassins crept through the palace halls. And the one person who seemed weakest became the calm at the center of the storm. Through whispered secrets, mischievous hauntings, and quiet resilience, Ananya carved her place in the empire. She would not simply survive. She would rise. And the Emperor who once despised her would one day whisper only her name.

In order to stay alive, Wade—who, through sheer misfortune, ended up as the lord of the Sein Dungeon—had no choice but to turn his domain into the ultimate hellscape: A gate that can’t be opened from this side, A treasure chest that triggers a teleportation, A grueling three-hundred-sixty-five-kilometer trek from the spawn point to the boss room with not a single rest stop, Monster knights with giant bows stationed on both sides of a precarious narrow bridge, Treacherous ambushers lying in wait around blind corners, A revolting latrine-poison pit you’re forced to sample, and a maze of hidden paths… And that’s only the beginning.
