The Ling'Er Of Ruin

SOUR CANDY A vampire romance novel Liam has always known what he is — a vampire living among humans, faster than any runner on the track team, quieter than the dead. In Eastbridge, he's just the mysterious boy with sharp eyes and a secret only his best friend Harper knows. But when Alex moves into town — sharp-witted, guarded, and unknowingly the son of a vampire hunter — Liam’s carefully constructed world begins to crumble. Alex has heard stories. His father made sure of it. Vampires are monsters. Liars. Killers. The very creatures responsible for his mother’s death. But Alex never expected to fall for one — never expected Liam, with his crooked smile and quiet sadness, to be the boy who makes his heart race and his beliefs unravel. Then comes the bite. A kiss laced with blood. A bond that changes everything. As the connection between them deepens, darker truths begin to surface. Liam’s brother — the very vampire responsible for Alex’s mother’s murder — has returned to Eastbridge. And he's not the only thing hunting in the shadows. Now, caught between love and loyalty, family and fate, Liam and Alex must decide what they’re willing to risk — and who they’re willing to become — to protect each other from the storm that’s coming. Because loving a vampire isn’t supposed to feel like this. Sweet. Addictive. Dangerous. Like sour candy.

In a world ripped apart by war between humans and an alien race known as the Dra, peace is a fragile illusion held together by power, lies, and legacy. Kael Vorinn never asked to be the heir of a war profiteer empire. Born into wealth but chained by blood, Kael’s life is a gilded cage—his father cold, his sister ambitious, and his brother broken. But when Kael rejects his inheritance, he unknowingly sets off a chain of events that will force him to confront the truth about his family, the war, and the system they all serve. As secrets unravel and hidden agendas surface, Kael finds himself caught between loyalty, rebellion, and a friendship with Rayne Vexis—an outsider whose past is just as tangled in the ruins of power. They only wanted to escape. Instead, they uncovered a truth that could ignite a revolution. Bloodlines will be tested. Empires will fall. And stars once ruined… may never shine again.

Heaven-Defying Asura Li Shen is nothing more than a slave, despised and broken, a mere handyman in the prestigious Azure Cloud Sect. Unknown to all, he carries the cursed blood of the annihilated Heaven Destruction Clan, a lineage whose three patriarchs once dared to defy Heaven's Will. This forbidden heritage manifests as the Heaven Asura Destruction Body, a dormant power that renders him seemingly talentless in Qi Cultivation, constantly suppressed by the very essence of the world. His only path to power, and to full awakening, lies in the brutal consumption of demon-corrupted cultivators, whose blood feeds his unique constitution. When his former masters, the Blackwood Noble Clan, are decimated by a savage raid of these demon-corrupted forces, Li Shen, in a desperate struggle for survival, slays his first corrupted foe. This act triggers the faint stirrings of his terrifying potential, pushing him from victim to survivor. Rescued by the Azure Cloud Sect, he endures the scorn of the Handyman Elder Guo and the cosmic hindrance of Heaven Suppression, secretly honing his Blade Cultivation – the only path where his innate talent can flourish. His desperate goals are clear: achieve power for survival, exact revenge for his clan's downfall, gain recognition in a world that despises him, and, most crucially, procreate to ensure the continuation of his unique, heaven-defying bloodline. Li Shen's opportunity arises when he heroically saves the Grand Elder of the Outer Court, elevating him to an Outer Disciple and granting him access to the crucial "demon cleansing missions." Through these perilous missions, he ruthlessly hunts and absorbs the blood of countless demon-corrupted cultivators, rapidly awakening his Heaven Asura Destruction Body. His cultivation explodes, allowing him to easily comprehend Dao and identify the flaws in any technique, making him an unstoppable force. His ascent, however, is not without cost. Forced to flee the ruins of his temporary home, Li Shen finds himself thrust into the chaotic expanse of the Immortal Realm, where the true scale of the cosmic conflict is revealed. Here, he discovers the existence of the Heaven Will Judgment Clan, the enforcers of Heaven's dictates, who were directly responsible for the annihilation of his ancestors and now seek to finish off his bloodline. He also finds himself embroiled in a grand struggle against a powerful Demon Sovereign, whose influence spans realms and whose forces represent the very beings Li Shen has been consuming. His journey becomes a furious quest to not only survive and exact revenge on his oppressors but to challenge the very fabric of cosmic law. He cultivates beyond the known limits, pushing his Heaven Asura Destruction Body to its peak, defying all odds. In a climactic, realm-shattering confrontation, Li Shen, alongside his descendants – born from his desperate drive to procreate and imbued with his unique heritage – wages war against the Heaven Will Judgment Clan and clashes with the Demon Sovereign. In the end, Li Shen and his burgeoning Heaven Asura Destruction Clan triumph. The Heaven Will Judgment Clan is utterly annihilated, their reign ended, and the oppressive grasp of Heaven's Will is shattered. The world, no longer bound by cosmic tyranny, shifts, and a new era dawns, one where the Heaven Asura Destruction Clan reigns supreme, its legacy forged in blood, defiance, and the ultimate triumph over fate.

He was once the heir to the most feared noble house in the kingdom — a family that ruled over magic in silence and secrecy. But grief turned him into something else. In his past life, blinded by sorrow and consumed by power, he lost everything: his mother, his sister, his father, his kingdom… all burned away by the darkness he embraced. And then — he woke up. Back in his ten-year-old body, days before the chain of tragedies begins, he now holds a second chance to rewrite fate. This time, he won’t fall. He's gonna make his way through enrolling in the royal magic academy , he begins a quiet rebellion against destiny — determined to protect the ones he loves, uncover the truth behind his mother’s death, and face the enemies that once destroyed him. But history has a cruel way of repeating itself… and not all mistakes can be undone.

The gods burned his empire to the ground. Now, its ruins might burn him alive. In the ashen corpse of Draal, where the sky never clears and the dead still whisper, scavengers like Kael Varros survive by looting what’s left—melted bones, shattered relics, forgotten sins. But buried beneath the cinders, Kael unearths something far worse: the crown of the Forgotten King, fused with molten glass, pulsing with a memory that isn’t his—and a curse that refuses to stay buried. Haunted by visions of fire and betrayal, hunted by ash-born wraiths, and stalked by zealots who would see him silenced, Kael is thrust into a legacy soaked in blood and forgotten oaths. The crown remembers what the world wants to forget—the gods’ lies, the empire’s ruin, and the rebellion that nearly consumed them all. And now, Kael wears its curse. But the ashes haven’t cooled… and the past isn’t done burning.

In a world where shadows rule and the throne is soaked in blood...love might be the deadliest rebellion. Beneath the peaceful surface of the world lies Virellan-a hidden empire where four ruthless clans reign. At the center of this chaos stands Zeus, the untouchable leader of Aetherion Kronos. With his hidden army-the Silver Serpents-and the mysterious shadow assassin known only as Lucifer, he was undefeatable. Until tragedy struck…and everything began to fall apart. Now, the selfish rise. The loyal vanish. On the other side of the world, four men live quiet lives — unaware of the storm fate has bound them to. The underworld of Virellan is calling...where thrones are stained with blood, and love dares to bloom in hearts carved from stone. Can they survive the game of power-or will the shadows claim them first? Will love survive when the truth bleeds?

'C'est vraiment en train de m'arriver cette connerie ?' C'était la première réaction de Kael Carter quand il a vu un groupe de prêtres se prosterner devant lui, le vénérant comme le 'Héros'. Pendant un bon moment, il pensait que c'était juste un autre de ses rêves, jusqu'à ce que la réalité le frappe. C'était réel... Il avait vraiment été invoqué dans un monde fantastique où la Magie existe. Un monde de Dompteurs de Bêtes. Un monde où les Humains et les Bêtes Magiques deviennent plus forts ensemble. Un monde qu'il était censé protéger en tant que supposé Héros. Sa réponse ? "Pas question !" Comment était-il censé protéger un monde entier alors que même ouvrir un pot de cornichons était pour lui une bataille entre la vie et la mort ? Il n'était pas un Héros. Et pour le prouver, il décida de poser sa main sur l''Orbe de Résonance' qui était censé 'confirmer son identité en tant que Héros'. Mais alors, [Ding !] Il entendit un son. [Talent Éveillé.] [Nom du Talent : Genèse de Dragon] [Rang de Talent : Rang SSS] [Description :] [Pouvoir de transformer n'importe quelle bête ayant la moindre trace de Sang de Dragon en un Dragon adulte.] 'Qu'est-ce que c'est que ce bordel...? Je... Je peux créer des Dragons...?' Kael n'arrivait pas à croire ce qu'il voyait. Dans un monde où les Dragons étaient des Légendes vivantes—des créatures d'une force, d'une sagesse et d'un pouvoir sans pareils, Dans un monde où des Royaumes entiers tremblent à la vue d'un seul Dragon. Il pouvait créer... une armée d'entre eux ?

Trapped in the frail body of the "Cursed Prince," Silas must use his modern knowledge and analytical mind to save a realm that seems doomed to conquest or collapse. With only 42,000 citizens remaining, an empty treasury, and enemies on all borders, Eldoria appears to be beyond salvation. But Silas sees potential where others see only decay.

"The apocalypse came without warning. I woke up three days later... and the world was no longer ours." A rift tore through reality, overlapping Earth with a foreign dimension filled with horrors beyond comprehension. The strongest evolved, gaining flames, thunder, or psychic force. The weakest turned into corrupted husks—zombies wandering the night. But Lu Zhen? He wasn't chosen by the system. He wasn’t part of the evolution. Yet he awakened with something different—something mechanical. A whisper in his mind. Decompose metal. Absorb structure. Reforge function.

But one man walks the ashes… Rebuilding the future, one scrap at a time. "They evolve with fire. I build with metal."

Branded as worthless, his life became a living hell, forced to survive in a world where the unevolved were walking corpses. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. One fateful encounter changed everything. He evolved. What he acquired was something far beyond the limits of his clan, something most wouldn’t believe possible. A power that defied the very laws that governed their new society. Now, there is only one goal: revenge. The people who took everything from him… he will hunt them to the ends of the earth. He will burn their names from history and carve his vengeance into their very bones. No mercy. No forgiveness. No escape. They will die screaming. Or he will die trying. … Discord: https://discord.gg/8JthpjYZez

Spies die in silence. Saints burn in light. Era might do both. After a lifetime of covert operations and moral compromises, Era hoped to spend her exile in quiet prayer at an English monastery. But when a corpse levitates during evening vespers and the sweet old nuns start collecting its blood like holy wine, she realises she’s stepped into something far older and far worse than sin. Soon, she’s in the custody of H.V.N, a shadowed agency that doesn’t serve any country, but answers directly to the gods. Plural. And they’re not happy. Because Era wasn’t meant to get involved. Now, she has two choices: execution… or servitude. Her only option is to survive the God's trials, prove herself useful, and perhaps earn a place in a pantheon-bound war where saints are spies and magic comes with contracts. But Era’s never played by anyone’s rules-least of all gods with agendas. And the deeper she falls into their tangled world of relics, prophecy, and judgment, the more she begins to suspect this wasn’t an accident at all. Maybe Era was never just an unlucky witness. Maybe she was the trigger.

Cole Smith sat alone in his apartment. Relishing in his own sorrow. As he looked at the rankings of the MMO he had dedicated his entire life into playing. Although his entire life was only a sorrowful 23 years of age. It still meant a lot to him. He had spent 5 years playing the MMO ‘Arcadia’ a game built off the Arcadian engine, an incredible generation that formed an entire world through lines of code in mere weeks. And the world was manipulated as players advanced through it. Cole was a beta tester. Who had obtained a meek Paladin class. The Arcadian engine even had unique classes for every player. But Cole’s was probably the weakest in the game. Even as a tank. Yet he still fought. He made his way to the top ranks, even standing at number 1 for a time. Only to be struck down by a new age of battle mages, classes that were practically one man armies, who quickly flooded the ranks. Once the leaderboards changed, he wasn’t even in the top 10 anymore, and he received an email from the company that made Arcadia. Asking him if he wanted a second chance…only to wake up inside of the world of the game the next day.

Trong một thế giới mà bản chất được dệt nên từ vô vàn tầng lớp của những ràng buộc vô hình, nơi từng phân tử hiện hữu đều bị khắc ghi bởi định luật của sự trói buộc và mỗi linh hồn đều là con rối bị điều phối bởi chuỗi xích vô tận của nguyên lý. Và trong chính sự điên cuồng ấy, một phản nghịch đã nảy sinh...Từ phản nghịch đó, đứa con của tự do đã ra đời, không phải như một sinh vật, mà như một dị điểm của toàn thể. Lumine là một mầm mống không thuộc về trật tự, một tồn tại gào thét giữa vòm trời bất động, một biểu tượng sống của khước từ mọi gông cùm đã khai sinh ra khát vọng tuyệt đối, hủy diệt mọi ràng buộc. Không phải bằng thù hận, mà bằng chính cơn đói triệt để với tự do tuyệt đối, Lumine và kẻ song hành đã thách thức thực tại, một thực tại vốn là mê cung bất khả phản kháng được dựng nên bởi những kẻ mang danh Thần, những kẻ không tạo ra thế giới mà lại chiếm hữu nó bằng thứ quyền lực mượn danh ý chí. Thế nhưng, ngay khi bàn tay họ tưởng đã chạm đến thứ ánh sáng rực rỡ nơi cuối đường hầm, cái ánh sáng mà họ nghĩ là sự giải thoát thì chính vòm trời ấy sụp đổ, và thực tại cười khẩy bằng tiếng cười của vô số bánh răng vận mệnh gãy vụn. Họ không bị đánh bại bởi kẻ thù, mà bởi chính quy luật đã thối rữa của cái thế giới họ muốn phá tan, nơi mọi hành động dù nhỏ bé nhất cũng bị tính trước trong một ma trận tuyệt đối của hệ quả. Đắng cay thay, cái chân lý mà họ đuổi bắt, cái chân lý trần truồng, tinh khôi và thuần khiết nhất... tự do lại nằm ngay trước mắt họ, song bị che khuất bởi sự tồn tại của một điều không nên tồn tại...Và chính vì thế, sự tồn tại của hắn không thể được dung thứ. Không phải bởi vì đạo lý, mà bởi vì hắn là dấu chấm hết của mọi diễn ngôn. Kẻ đó không nên tồn tại. Không phải bởi vì hắn sai, mà bởi vì hắn là thứ thuần túy, một lỗ hổng mang hình người trong thân thể của một thế giới đang hấp hối vì chính những gì hắn cho phép tồn tại.
