--[WSA 2025 Entry]-- Betrayed by his sister. Betrayed by chosen one's humanity. Betrayed by the Gods. That was how the life of Leonard, the Defier of Fate and the world’s greatest heretic, came to an end. When demons invaded human lands, he received a revelation from the Goddess. She commanded him to act as a spy, to infiltrate the enemy ranks and expose their secrets for humanity’s sake. To fulfill this mission, he had to sacrifice a part of his soul. He accepted a demonic contract, surrendered his soul, and became a demonic human. Risking everything, he provided critical information to the humans and helped them turn the tide of battle. But then, he had a shocking discovery. The war was nothing but a gambit between various gods and before he could act, the war was stopped out of nowhere. In an unexpected turn, humans and demons put aside their hatred and signed a peace treaty. Before Leonard could make sense of it, he was betrayed. Both demons and humans joined hands to kill him. "Fuck! If there is a next life, I swear I will tear you gods apart!" With this scream, he thought his suffering was finally over.

Despite rebirth, nothing seems to change. The cursed fate. The distorted history smearing his name. A world that was against him. Leonard, now assuming the identity of Kael, let out a low chuckle. "Don’t worry, Kael. I will have revenge for both of us." "They called me heretic right? I will show them how a true fucking heretic acts.” Follow Kael's journey, as he fights against the fates and injustices to drag the ones ruling above.

A princess's duty is to be beautiful, quiet, not loud, to be seen and not to be heard, which was how Dahlia lived most of her life. Bound by the expectations of her title, she spent years trying to prove to her father that she was more than just a princess and capable of being more than an ornament in his court but each time she never got the chance. Instead, she was forced into a marriage of convenience with the bravest knight in all the kingdom, Reagan Hawthorne. Dahlia thought she would use this marriage to escape the brutal crutches of her father and glide out of her cage but Reagan’s cold disdain was an unexpected prison of its own.

By day, she was the perfect wife. By night, she became the "Black Knight," a masked vigilante fighting for justice in the shadows. Reagan returned, ready to focus on his personal mission: avenging his father’s death. To him, Dahlia was just another pawn in his plans—a spoiled princess he needed to tolerate. But as cracks began to form in her perfect façade, Reagan couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his wife than met the eye. Now, with enemies circling closer and their secrets threatening to collide, Dahlia and Reagan must confront the lies they’ve told themselves and each other. But when masks fall and truths are revealed, will their fragile bond withstand the storm—or will it shatter beyond repair? One wound. One secret. One night that changes everything.

SYNOPSIS In the city of Avalon, manipulation isn't just an art, it's a war. Lucian Vale, the world's most elusive manipulator, orchestrates a crisis designed to cripple economies and outplay his greatest rival, Ariadne Wolfe. But when Magnus Cain, a master strategist who doesn't play by the rules, steps in, the board is flipped before Lucian even realizes the game has changed. As alliances crumble and global power shifts, the world's greatest minds race to stay one move ahead, and survival means outthinking the ones who see everything. CONTENT WARNING This novel focuses on the strategic consequences of manipulation rather than explaining manipulation techniques in a way that could be used practically. It explores mind games, deception, and psychological warfare but does not serve as a manual for manipulation. It aligns with many political thriller and espionage novels, which depict power struggles, intelligence misdirection, and strategic deception without directly teaching harmful tactics. The emphasis is on narrative intrigue, character conflicts, and the cascading effects of manipulation in events rather than step-by-step instructions on manipulation. If the concern is about violating certain cultural sensitivities, the story can be framed as a high-stakes intelligence thriller, similar to many intellectual novels or dramas, without promoting unethical behavior.

D*mn this world isn't my world but am I the son of a duke of the kingdom it sounds good. Or bad. Join me on my journey to find out how it ends

I woke up in an unfamiliar world-one torn between kingdoms, power, and secrets hidden in the shadows. They call me Evelyn Caelum, the only daughter of Grand Duke Rhadrian of the Zephirion Empire. A noblewoman born into privilege, raised with grace, and now... engaged to the Crown Prince, Alistair Zephirion. But there's a problem. I don't remember my past. I don't remember this world. And worst of all... I am not who they think I am. Because before I became Evelyn, I was something else. A Sovereign. A being tasked with guarding the balance of life and death. But my memories are fragmented, my powers weakened, and the truth of my identity is shrouded in mystery. To survive, I must play the role of the Grand Duke's perfect daughter. But as the empire's hidden enemies begin to stir and the past I lost starts clawing its way back, one thing becomes clear-my destiny was never meant to be ordinary. And when the shadows of war rise again, I will have no choice but to embrace my true nature... or risk losing everything.

A man desperate for salvation. A woman desperate for freedom. For as long as Althea could remember, she had been nothing more than a shadow in her father’s house—unwanted, unloved, and barely acknowledged. As the illegitimate daughter of Count Thornwell, she endured a life of cruelty, neglected by her father, tormented by her stepmother, and overshadowed by her perfect half-sister. But fate was not entirely unkind. One day, she discovered a gift hidden within her blood—the power to heal. For the first time, she had something that was truly hers. Something no one could take away. Then, she meets Duke Eldric Caelum—a man feared across the empire for his overwhelming elemental power. A man who, despite his terrifying strength, suffers in silence as his abilities slowly tear him apart. The first time she touched him, she felt his pain. The first time she healed him, he felt relief for the first time in years. And when the emperor commanded him to take a wife, Eldric didn’t choose anyone but Althea. Faced with a choice between a lifetime of suffering or a marriage to a ruthless but powerful duke, Althea made the only decision that could save her. She said yes. But she never expected that the man she married—the one she thought would be cold and distant—would hold her like she was precious, touch her like she was fragile, and look at her like she was the only thing that mattered. She never expected that amid duty, danger, and the weight of their pasts, she might find something else entirely. A place to belong. A heart that beat only for her. A love that even fate couldn’t take away… …Or could it? — "Why… why do you look at me like that?" Althea whispered, her voice barely audible over the crackling fire. Eldric reached out, his rough, calloused fingers brushing against her cheek with agonizing gentleness. "Like what?" "Like I’m something precious." He exhaled softly, as if the very idea of her doubting it pained him. "Because you are. You are my salvation, Althea." Althea’s breath caught in her throat. "Eldric…" His forehead rested against hers, his voice a mere whisper now. "Stay with me. No matter what happens, stay."

In his past life, Dr. Elias Valtor was a world-renowned pharmacist, a pioneer in medicine, and a man who had dedicated his life to curing the incurable. But in the blink of an eye, he dies—only to awaken in the body of a frail, sickly young noble in a dying aristocratic house. Now, he is Duke Alexander Aragon, heir to a crumbling dukedom on the brink of collapse in the small but strategically placed Kingdom of Velmoria, nestled in a vast continent ruled by warring empires, treacherous nobles, and forgotten alchemical arts. Armed with unparalleled pharmaceutical knowledge, an analytical mind, and a ruthless will to survive, Alexander refuses to let his family fade into obscurity. With no knights, no wealth, and no allies, he starts with the one thing he knows best—medicine. He introduces revolutionary healing methods, concocts powerful elixirs, and uses his knowledge of alchemy to create remedies unheard of in this medieval world. But in a land where magic and potions are monopolized by the powerful, his innovations shake the foundations of society. The royal court watches with suspicion, rival nobles plot against him, and the mysterious Mage Guild seeks to control his talents. As he cures the incurable, saves soldiers on the battlefield, and amasses influence through commerce and medicine, he realizes that healing alone won't be enough—he must play the game of politics, wield power like a scalpel, and carve out a future for House Aragon. From humble apothecary to feared noble, from the sickly boy to the master of life and death, Duke Alexander Aragon will rise. And in a world where both magic and medicine can be weapons, he will become a force that neither kings nor empires can ignore. The journey of a fallen noble, a forgotten house, and a man who wields knowledge like a sword begins now.

In his first life, Alexander Valtor was the feared Duke of Valtor, of the Aurelio Empire, known as the empire’s most ruthless noble. Accused of murdering his own family for power,even though he denied it he was eventually betrayed and executed, his name forever stained in history. But death was not his end. Instead, he was reborn in a completely different world—Earth. Born as Arthur Lancaster in 1918, he grew up in the United Kingdom and joined the military as World War II erupted. With the experience of his past life, he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming one of Britain’s most decorated soldiers. He served under two queens, first Queen Elizabeth I and later Queen Elizabeth II, dedicating his life to the monarchy and his country. As the highest-ranking officer in the British Army, he commanded armies, shaped wars, and became a living legend. Even in old age, his loyalty never wavered. At 105 years old, after a lifetime of service, he passed away peacefully. But when he opened his eyes again, he was back in his 16-year-old body, standing in the empire that once condemned him. This time, he has no intention of bending his knee to an emperor he does not recognize. His only allegiance is to the queens he once served, even if they don't exist in this world. Leaving behind his noble title, he walks away from the empire, determined to live by his own rules. Yet as war looms on the horizon, his instincts as a soldier refuse to stay buried. The empire does not know it yet, but the man they once feared has returned—and this time, he fights on his own terms.
