From the Shelves of Aeralith We have kept many stories. Some speak of light. Others, of silence. This one came in ash. It does not begin with a kingdom, a war, or a prophecy. It begins with absence—with a girl no longer allowed to belong. Rasha was born with barely a flicker. Branded lowborn and cast aside, she was never meant to shape her tribe’s future. Until the flame chose her. Bound to an ancient spirit her people have long forgotten, Rasha carries a truth they no longer wish to hear: Fire was never meant to conquer—but to connect, to heal, to guide. Banished for speaking it, she walks the desert with nothing but a flicker of hope, a silent boy beside her, and the fire in her chest. She doesn’t seek glory. Only memory. Meaning. What was lost. She is not a weapon. She is not a savior. She is the Eternal Flame. While her path winds through exile and ember, others stir—in shadow, in snow, in sacred ruins. They do not begin together. They do not yet know each other. But their stories move toward the same fracture. This is the first of her volumes. One breath in the great remembering. And Aeralith never forgets.

He was just your average filthy-rich, video-game-bingeing, midnight-snack-devouring college slacker. Until one night, a delivery girl showed up at his door... with fries, a milkshake, and a Desert Eagle. Bang. Dead. End of story? Not quite. Gray wakes up covered in slime, paw-deep in confusion, and surrounded by furballs. Congratulations! He’s been reborn... as a wolf pup. No system. No magical stats. No helpful tutorial. Just snow, raw meat, and a bunch of siblings who think tails are chew toys. Now he’s stuck in a freezing world with zero thumbs, a questionable “gift” for understanding howls, and an Alpha dad who thinks bonding time means hunting eight-foot rabbits. Can Gray survive the wilderness, avoid becoming monster chow, and maybe, just maybe, figure out why he got shot in the face to begin with? One thing’s for sure—being a wolf is a lot harder (and fluffier) than it looks. This is a SMUT novel with an actual plot.

So picture this: you wake up in a rusty, beetle-shaped contraption sliding sideways across a murder-dune in a place called Scarragon. Your shoulder is basically shredded toast, your memory's fuzzy, and there’s absolutely no customer service in sight. That was Grahilo’s morning. Then things got weird. After limping through the desert like a very angry tumbleweed, he spots a glowing green orb chilling in the sand like it’s waiting for a meet-cute. The orb hypnotizes him. Forces him to swallow it. Cue excruciating cosmic body reboot. There’s screaming, convulsing, and then—boom. New upgrade unlocked: silver hair, neon eyes, and gamma veins that look like someone installed a nuclear reactor in his circulatory system. After that? He tests out his fancy powers. Accidentally punches the ground so hard it opens an ancient ruin. Then he raises his hand and materializes a black dagger with green runes and “probably haunted” vibes. Grahilo officially levels up from "lost desert guy" to "walking superhero origin story." Kirigaar, the city that kicked him out like last season's leftovers? They’re about to regret that. Grahilo vows to leave Scarragon completely and start fresh in a new country. One small problem: the country is dealing with portal chaos. Monsters, energy signatures, things that snarl and break physics. Naturally, Grahilo decides to join the local defense force. And while he might not understand the rules, he’s got glowing eyes, punch magic, and void daggers. He’s the guy they didn’t ask for—but might just need. Expect mystical relics, combat training, teammates who aren’t sure if he's a threat or a miracle, and one gamma-born outcast rewriting his fate with every sarcastic thought and every step forward.

Eldralore is a continent bleeding from a thousand wounds. Eighty years ago, the great empire fell, shattered into dust and memory. In its place stands a fractured land ruled by petty lords, power-hungry dukes, ambitious war-priests, and ruthless mercenary captains. Kingdoms rise and fall in a season. The roads belong to bandits. The temples preach fire and blood. And the common folk? They're caught in the jaws of endless war, screaming for salvation that never comes. In the midst of this chaos walks a man without land, name, or legacy. All he has is a sword and a bloodstained banner. A bastard, born to the ruins of a royal house long since burned from history. He’s no chosen one. No hero. Just a sellsword captain leading a ragged band of killers and deserters, selling their steel to the highest bidder. Cynical. Cold. Calculating. Yet sometimes, in the dead quiet between battles, there's a glimmer. Honor, perhaps. Or maybe just the ghost of who he might have been. But in a land where loyalty is bought in coin and legends are written in blood, even a forgotten bastard can become something more. A warlord. A kingmaker. Maybe even the spark that sets the world ablaze.
