Desert Ruins

Synopsis: Matthew and Vinny were never meant to be good for each other. Once childhood friends, their bond shattered as they grew up, leaving behind resentment, jealousy, and an unspoken hunger for something neither could define. Vinny, charming and untouchable, hides his fear of real attachment behind manipulation and indifference. Matthew, cold and calculating, has learned never to trust—especially not the boy who once abandoned him. When a twisted plan sets them on a path of deception, betrayal, and undeniable attraction, the line between love and hate blurs. Vinny is supposed to be playing Matthew, making him fall only to break him apart. But as Matthew fights back with his own cruel games, the heat between them ignites into something neither can control. Toxic, passionate, and impossible to resist, they are each other’s greatest downfall. Because in a game where both are red flags, obsession is the only thing left standing.

But that all ended when he was betrayed by his own people and beheaded by his archrival. As Alexander's consciousness faded away all he could think of is all the faults he made, how he could have avoided them, how unlucky he had been, and his wrath and unwillingness to die at the hands of the man he hated most! But unexpectedly he was given not only the answers to these questions, but also a second chance to right all his many wrongs. The cover is not mine.

Level caps? He’s Xu Tao. He didn’t spend ten millennia chasing immortality just to get wiped by a scorpion in a tutorial-zone! But he’s definitely not here to play. He’s here to ascend—again. Even if this time, he has to grind EXP and punch sand beetles to do it. But wait... That's not all...? He could also... What?!

Seraphina Dorne only meant to escape a suitor, not bind her soul to Elion Thorne, the kingdom’s most feared and cursed noble. The bond should’ve killed her. Instead, it awakened something ancient.

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.

In a world where magic is a privilege reserved for the powerful, and gods wage silent wars behind the veil of creation, one orphan boy unknowingly holds the key to balance—or absolute ruin. Aren, a nameless worker scraping by in a merciless city, lives a life of quiet hunger and hardship. But a single act of kindness—giving away his only meal to a mysterious beggar—changes everything. In return, she offers him a ring… and with it, an ancient destiny buried for over two centuries. Transported to a battlefield between the God of Creation and the God of Rebirth, Aren finds himself caught in a divine power struggle. When their godly spells fail to harm him, and his instinctive magic wounds them both, a terrifying truth is revealed: He is the missing God of Destruction—the one prophesied to bring balance, feared for his strength, and destined to take the throne that rules even the gods themselves. Fleeing the divine war, Aren forms a quiet life in a forbidden forest, raising a lonely, abused boy who begins to call him “Dad.” But peace is fleeting. The gods will not forget. And when blood is spilled again, Aren must face the impossible choice: Embrace the throne and fight for the boy who gave him a reason to live… or walk away and lose everything. A powerful saga of magic, emotion, godhood, and sacrifice, Throne of Ruin is a gripping tale where bonds are forged in fire, and even destruction can choose to protect.

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.

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. Using principles of engineering and systematic thinking, he begins to transform not just the kingdom's infrastructure, but its very approach to survival. From learning to manage his crippling health condition through innovative sword aura techniques to proposing unprecedented diplomatic solutions with the surrounding empires, Silas must prove that intelligence and determination can triumph over raw power. His vision at first: to forge Eldoria into a neutral center of innovation that serves all three empires while maintaining its independence. But can a sickly prince with revolutionary ideas survive long enough to see his kingdom transformed? And will the people of Eldoria trust their future to a ruler who thinks more like an engineer than a traditional monarch? This is the story of how the weakest prince of the weakest kingdom began building something that could stand for a thousand years.

He doesn’t care about being a hero. He doesn’t care about the world. Until he finds people—rivals, allies, and maybe more—who slowly begin to crack his cynical shell. But make no mistake. If saving the world gets in the way of saving his sister? The world is going to burn.

Corvin Blackmoor was a man carved by war and betrayal. From the blood soaked deserts of Afghanistan to the shadowed corridors of British Intelligence, he served and watched ideals crumble into lies. Patriotism. Honor. Loyalty. He buried them all long before a Quds Force assassin silenced his final breath. But death was only the beginning. Dragged from the ruins of a dying world, Corvin awakens in Valtheris. A savage world ruled by magic, where gods are myths, and survival is written in blood. He is no longer human. He is the last of the Dark Parasytes, an extinct race once so feared that every kingdom, every empire, and every mage order hunted them to extinction. Armed with Shadow Siphon, the power to replicate the strengths of others, Corvin stands alone at the bottom of an alien food chain. Weaker than a wild beast, with enemies and predators lurking in every forest, every court, every throne. Weakness is temporary, patience is eternal. In a world fractured by ancient wars, between noble Elves, scheming Demons, ruthless Humans, primal Feralis and Aetherborn Corvin will climb. He will feast. He will conquer. And in the shadows of Valtheris, the last predator will rise. No gods. No masters. Only the cold ambition of a man who has nothing left to believe in… but power itself.

Across all worlds, it is shared by all living things.] [You, Host, are granted a unique privilege—to convert pain into power. Not by repressing it or lashing out—but by transforming it into currency.] What begins as a fake courtship soon spirals into a dangerous game of reputation, romance, and revenge.
