Sovereign Of Ashes

Silence of Ash

"The stars burn with fate, but what if fate itself could be rewritten?" Theo was supposed to be an ordinary boy. A quiet life, a normal future. But the past doesn’t let go so easily—because Theo isn’t just Theo. Memories of another life stir within him, whispering of things he should not know, of powers tied to fate itself. When his body begins changing—his fire refusing to burn, his shadow moving before he does—he realizes the truth: He is a Fatebinder, one bound to something far greater than himself. But power is not a gift; it is a burden. And those who seek it are always watching. Trained under Gregory and Lily, former warriors with secrets of their own, Theo must navigate the brutal reality of his abilities. His tail moves before he thinks, his flames flicker with memory, and the echoes of fate whisper at the edges of his mind. The world is not what it seems, and neither is he. But Silent Veil knows. They always know. And they are waiting. In a world where fate is law, can Theo forge his own path? Or will he be consumed by the very power that sets him apart? A strategic, reincarnated protagonist with deep internal conflict. A power system unlike any other—Fatebinding, Eidolons, and the cosmic struggle between destiny and free will. Brutal, realistic combat—where knowledge and tactics matter as much as raw strength. A world of hidden organizations, ancient conspiracies, and forgotten truths. A journey of power, survival, and the cost of knowing too much. The fire remembers. The shadows whisper. And fate is watching.

Sovereign of the Beasts

Marina Velkas never asked to rule. Once an Imperial Knight, now an appointed Governor, she is sent to the lawless kingdom of Aeger—a land of excess, ruled by the infamous twin kings, Ruyi and Ruyel Vael’Tyrr. The two brothers are brilliant warriors but self-indulgent rulers, turning Aeger into a city of pleasure, vice, and unchecked power. From the moment Marina arrives, she is undermined, and dismissed as nothing more than a temporary nuisance. But unlike her predecessors, she does not yield. Armed with ruthless determination, she takes the first step toward reform—only to realize that she has not just challenged a city’s corruption… she has declared war on its kings. Ruyi, the golden lion shifter, is an enigma of cruelty and charm, his every action laced with dangerous amusement. He rules through indulgence, his body a weapon—both in battle and in desire. He touches only to destroy, yet Marina defies his grasp. Ruyel, the white tiger shifter, is silent and unshakable, an executioner with no patience for distractions. Unlike his brother, he does not play games—but when Marina refuses to bow, something buried deep within him stirs. The more Marina fights, the more they take notice. The more she resists, the more they are drawn to her. But in Aeger, power is never freely given. And when desire and dominance collide, the battle for control becomes something far more dangerous than she ever imagined. She was sent to govern. She might just become a queen. But first, she must survive. [The first volume is seductive feline courtship and rather wholesome, but the first chapter is a throw forward to what would happen later.] ________________________________________ Excerpt: Aeger’s Grand Palace - Throne Room "You came here like this?" Ruyi’s golden eyes dragged over Marina’s dust-covered uniform, taking in every out-of-place strand of hair, every scuff mark from the day’s work. He smirked, tilting his head as if examining a fascinating but unimpressive specimen. "No sense of presentation. But I suppose I shouldn’t expect refinement from a naval girl." Marina met his gaze, unflinching. "I was under the impression that Aeger valued results over appearances, Your Majesty. Or is that only true when it benefits you?" A low chuffle came from Ruyel’s side. The younger king had been silent until now, his cold blue eyes assessing her with unreadable interest. "A governor who bites," he murmured. Ruyi chuckled, leaning forward from his throne. "Oh, she does more than bite, brother." Marina exhaled slowly, fingers twitching at her side. I am here to negotiate, not to entertain them. "I need access to the city’s records," she stated plainly. "A plague is spreading. Without proper sanitation, it will reach the noble districts next." Ruyi’s smirk didn’t falter. "So?" "So," she said, stepping forward, daring to challenge the golden lion in his den, "if you enjoy your silk robes and wine-soaked halls, you might want to stop your people from dying in their own filth." The room fell silent. Ruyel’s fingers tapped once against his armrest. "She’s serious." Ruyi sighed, resting his chin on his palm, his smirk still lingering. "Serious, stubborn, and utterly unaware of what she’s just walked into." Then, without warning, he reached out. A gloved hand brushed against the fabric of her uniform, slow, deliberate. Marina stiffened, resisting the urge to step back. His fingers ghosted down her sleeve, as if testing the very air around her. "You think you’re in control here, don’t you?" His voice was velvet and steel. Marina tilted her head. "I know I am." Ruyi stilled. Then, laughter—rich, amused, dangerously indulgent—spilled from his lips. "Oh, this will be fun." Beside him, Ruyel’s expression did not change. But his gaze sharpened. And Marina, despite everything, knew she had just made the most dangerous mistake of her life. She had their attention now. And they would never let her go.

She drags him into the **Hollow Market**—a macabre underworld where the damned trade secrets, memories, and flesh. There, Jin learns Min-ah’s death was no random tragedy but part of a sinister *harvest* to breed powerful Shades. As Jin navigates this shadowy realm with Yuri—whose motives blur the line between ally and manipulator—he uncovers threads linking Min-ah’s murder to his mother’s past. But every resurrection Jin performs to unravel the truth accelerates the Rot, edging him closer to becoming one of the very monsters he hunts.
