The Fifth House

NOTE: IF YOU'RE SENSETIVE TO GORE STORIES PLEASE, DON'T READ: In the beast-world of Burmurlerk, Queen Yrmeta, a powerful, dragon-like monarch blessed with primal elemental magic, once ruled in peace. But her reign shattered when members of her own court, nobles, governors, even distant kin, accused her of consorting with the forbidden forces of the Ancienty Seven of Deadly Beings, ancient entities tied to corruption and apocalyptic power. Betrayed from within, war erupted. Yrmeta’s realm burned. Many of her bloodline, cousins, nieces, nephews, siblings, and older children, were killed. With her kingdom crumbling, she fled through a rift to Earth with only her husband Lord Velkan, her sister Aunt Tyrraline, and four of her surviving children (ages 25, 23, 21, and 19). On Earth, Yrmeta entered a conscious stasis, a living crystal cocoon, to heal. During her slumber, she magically bore eleven more children, all gifted, monstrous, or strange. Among them is the youngest: Elian, now 14 years old, seemingly human, but only Tyrraline and Velkan know the truth of his origins. The family, now living undercover in the human world, poses as eccentric and homeschooled while navigating schools, jobs, and the modern world. Aunt Tyrraline acts as the sharp-tongued matriarch, enforcing secrecy and stability within the chaos of their monstrous household. Yrmeta, even in slumber, can communicate telepathically, but only with Elian. Despite appearing fully human, Elian is loved deeply by his siblings. He alone can hear their mother’s voice in dreams, where cryptic warnings and impossible memories hint at a deeper destiny, one possibly tied to The Seventh, an unnamed and sealed entity from the Ancienty. While the family tries to live peacefully, strange phenomena escalate. Elian’s dreams grow darker. A new substitute teacher, Mr. Cane, appears with unnatural timing and eerie knowledge. His gaze pierces Elian’s disguise. And then, nightmares begin manifesting physically. Behind the veil of human life, Yrmeta’s enemies, and the true power of the Ancienty Seven, begin to stir again. And Elian, whether he likes it or not, may be the key that unlocks both the past’s truth and the future’s destruction.

A journalist who didn't know what he was getting into... until he foolishly discovered it.

Looking back, maybe it wasn’t all that bad. Sometimes I wonder if life would’ve been better if Eliza and I had never discovered the truth. Maybe that’s selfish. But we might’ve been happier— or at least, that’s what I like to believe. Magic is a mystery. Even now, no one truly understands it. It flows through the world, choosing its own vessels. And once it touches you, it never lets go. I wish that was all I had to tell you. But my story is darker— filled with mystery, sacrifice, and loss. My name is Maddox. And we should’ve never left the orphanage. But what choice did we have?

My name is Shay. Just Shay. Every morning at five, I kick off my day like anyone else—cereal, eggs, or toast. Then comes the routine brushing session where I make it a point to avoid eye contact with the damn bogey in the mirror. Typical, right? I’ve got a roommate—a werewolf. We’re best friends and classmates, tackling school like it’s any normal day. After classes, I head to my job as a bartender at a nearby pub. It’s a cozy spot, where apart from your regular humans, other creatures also get together for a drink. Yep, vampires and shapeshifters have their pint nights too. Aside from these quirks, my life was relatively normal — until everything turned upside down. The peacefulness of the night seems to be over, the Fifth King is preparing for war — perhaps for world domination —, and common sense has evaporated somewhere along the way. Life was pretty standard, aside from the supernatural quirks, until it wasn’t. The peace of the night shattered, the Fifth King is gearing up for war—or maybe world domination—and somewhere along the way, logic took a vacation. Now, here I am, smack in the middle of this glorious mess, trying to figure out how I went from a normal guy to being tangled in what feels like the prelude to a world-ending saga.

Each name different. Each name earned. Each name spoken only once. House of the Sage is a modern myth-thriller, where ancient bloodlines shape new empires, and a silent war simmers beneath elite society. At its center: Nivrit Vashirayan. A quiet graduate student with a calm voice, brilliant mind… and a terrifying inheritance. He was raised to disappear into normal life. But some bloodlines don’t go quiet forever. When Niv steps into view, it’s felt everywhere. Cartels hesitate. Private guards get reassigned. Old families reopen dossiers sealed in fireproof cabinets. Because the Vashirayans never announce themselves. But the world always feels it when they move.

Ten years. Ten years of silence, steel bars, and suffocating isolation. Ten years of sacrifice for a family that never intended to save her. Heira Darnell believed her choice was noble pleading guilty to a crime she didn’t commit to protect her father’s empire. She imagined her loyalty would be rewarded with love, with redemption. That her family would fight for her release, proclaim her innocence, and one day welcome her back with open arms. She was wrong. When the prison gates finally opened, freedom came with a devastating truth: her family had erased her. They denied her existence, rewrote history, and built a new life without her. In her place, they installed Calliope a girl they adopted not out of love, but out of strategy. Beautiful, brilliant, and venomous beneath a perfect smile, Calliope didn’t just fill Heira’s shoes she twisted the knife. It wasn’t enough to replace Heira. Calliope rewrote her story, poisoned what was left of her name, and made sure no one would ever ask what really happened. The Darnells the people Heira bled for abandoned her the moment she became inconvenient. And it was Calliope who helped seal the door behind her. Shattered by betrayal, burning with rage, Heira steps back into a world that no longer remembers her but she remembers everything.

She wants retribution. They stole her life, her name, her dignity. She’ll take back all of it and more. Brick by brick, secret by secret, she’ll dismantle the legacy she once protected. And when she returns to the mansion that cast her out, it won’t be as a daughter but as a reckoning. They thought prison would break her. Instead, it forged her. The game has changed. And Heira is no longer playing by their rules.

But when it was time to go back into the heavens, these mighty beings bestowed some of their powers to four trusted mortals that served them. The four mortal men and women each received a different elemental power in order to keep the balance on this world. Azuu got the power of the fire element. Myra got the power of the water element. Zed got the power of the Air element. And Suri got the power of earth element. After the beings had disappeared into the sky, the four mortals lived in peace and harmony with each other and their families separately. As time went by, other people from far and nearby villages came to witness the power that was granted to these mere mortals like them. They were in awe. Some were envious while some were frightened. It was rare to see these kind of powers emit from a mortal. After several years of peace and harmony.... These special mortals gave birth to children of their own who also possessed these gifts. They knew that the mighty beings had given them gifts that would last for generations and they were thankful.

The water tribe leader also told her daughter that the fire tribe was responsible for the demise of the new born child.

For millennia, the Angelic Order has maintained its rigid hierarchy across the galaxies, with thirteen elite Seraphim-led houses controlling the fate of countless worlds. Far below them in the celestial pecking order stands House Empyrean, a Marquisate officially tasked with serving as mere intermediaries between mortals and higher angelic beings. But House Empyrean harbors dangerous secrets. When Lord Khaliel, head of House Empyrean, launches a brazen operation to claim Earth a world explicitly forbidden to all houses by ancient decree, the act is dismissed as suicidal by the higher echelons of the Angelic Order. What the powerful houses don’t realize is that this move represents the culmination of centuries of preparation.

She was the cursed one. The unwanted twin. A shadow born beneath her sister’s light. Anastaria Noir was known for three things: her cruel tongue, her empty hands, and the cold eyes that never cried. Compared to her saintly twin—beloved by nobles, praised by tutors, and destined for greatness—Anastaria was simply… expendable. So when she died at the hands of the Crown Prince, no one wept. Not even her family. But fate had other plans. Reincarnated into the very body that once held so much hate, a modern soul awakens with only fragments of the original’s memories—and the knowledge that her death is coming. Again. Everyone still sees her as trash. Bitter. Powerless. A stain on the prestigious House Noir. But she’s no longer the girl who dies quietly. She repays kindness with loyalty. And cruelty? With exact precision. Even more confusing—why does the Crown Prince, the man destined to love her sister and destroy her, keep watching her like he’s forgotten which twin he was supposed to care about? The path forward is steep, but this time, she climbs. From disgrace to strength. From cursed twin to feared name. Let them call her the villainess. She’ll show them exactly what that means.
