Durin stroked the black cat on the armrest of his chair, sitting on the black leather sofa. Through the glasses perched on his nose, his gaze passed over the long table in front of him and settled on the man kneeling on the carpet: "I understand, you've made money in Naples, your business has been very successful, and you've led a happy life. You've had those secret police, friends in both the law and the underground, and even the Royal Family speaking on your behalf." "You don't need a friend like me, I know that. You're afraid of owing me a favor, and you don't want to get involved in troubles." "But now you come to me and say, 'I beg you, Mr. Durin of the Corleon family, please help me seek justice, so that my life and my family will not suffer and sink into despair.' Yet, in your eyes, I was nothing more than a second-rate artist involved in movies and music. Even at the brink of death, you still show me such disrespect, not even willing to call me by my title... Keeper of Secrets."

My 19th birthday was supposed to be perfect. Instead, it became the day my world fell apart. Picture this: Me, walking in on my boyfriend Darian tangled up with Scarlet, my so-called best friend. Talk about a birthday surprise, right? Heartbroken and furious, I ran into the woods, desperate to escape. That's when things got really strange. It was time for my werewolf transformation, but something went terribly wrong. Pain ripped through me as I got stuck halfway between human and wolf. There I was, alone and scared, thinking this was how I'd die. But then he showed up. A massive gray wolf with eyes that seemed to look right into my soul. I couldn't believe it. Niko Kaine Silverbane, the Alpha King in the flesh. Kaine helped me complete my shift, but that was just the beginning. Something sparked between us, a connection I couldn't explain. It was electric, intense, and a little bit terrifying. Next thing I know, I'm trying to save my ex friend, enrolled at Banes Academy, surrounded by other young werewolves. That's where I learned the truth: Kaine and I are destined mates. Me, the orphan girl, fated to be with the most powerful Alpha in the country. It sounds like a fairy tale, right? Wrong. Turns out, being the Alpha King's mate comes with a target on your back. Enemies are everywhere, including faces I once trusted. And Kaine? He's got secrets darker than a moonless night. Now I'm racing against time to master my newfound powers and stand beside Kaine against the forces trying to tear us apart. But as the danger grows, so do my feelings for him. Will I find the strength to become the Alpha Luna I'm meant to be? Or will the darkness consume us both?

Then there was the hotheaded detective who was the bane of her existence, only to realize that she meant more to him than he could ever mean to her. Light and dark didn’t mix. Just like tigers and dragons didn’t co-exist.

WSA 2025 entry. The Shadowhurst clan… wealthy, handsome and enigmatic bachelors.... who's the best for Lisa? "I wonder if you would be so upset if it was my brother standing here in my place?" Irked, Lisa swung her knee upwards determined to let Bane feel it where it hurts the most for making such an unfair accusation.  Moving quickly as if he sensed her wicked intent he used his hand to block her knee before she could fully aim it.  A nasty pain shot through her leg and Lisa felt it throughout her body. With his right hand Bane held her leg so tightly that the more Lisa frantically struggled the longer he gripped firmly.  His nails dug so deep into her skin it felt like they were sharp enough to draw blood.  "Calm down," he repeated, "stop being so sensitive. I'm willing to marry you for your own benefit, not my own." Lisa, a country-bred innocent, is an intriguing novelty for her husband’s rivals who prefer the shadows over the sunshine. As her reckless nature forces Lisa into one dangerous encounter after another. The men in her proximity find themselves either fighting a need to protect her or a raging hunger to possess her. Since her temporary husband is not without competition, Lisa will just have to search her heart before it's too late and never trust a shadow after dark.

Dual Cultivation is an art. The more you focus on doing the art, the worse it becomes. Only when doing it becomes part of the art itself, does one truly experience it to its fullest. You will know you understand only when you can't tell the singer from the song, dancer from the dance, and the daoist partners from the dao. This is true enlightenment in the art of dual cultivation ... The 'Naked Sword Art' is a personal skill of mine. It isn't perfect yet, but I believe it will one day be the greatest dual cultivation technique known to man. I am the fucker of mothers, stripper of daughters, and the bane of all men and husbands alike. I am a blind dual cultivator. . . .

En las Landas de Etten, un rincón maldito de la Tierra Media donde el viento gime como un lamento eterno y la tierra se quiebra bajo el peso de la desolación, un enano roto se alza contra la sombra que devoró su mundo. Tygran el Loco, exiliado de Erebor tras las llamas voraces de Smaug, carga con el dolor de un pueblo masacrado y el eco de un hogar perdido. No es solo un guerrero: es un alma arrancada de otra existencia, atrapada en un cuerpo curtido por la guerra, guiada por un poder oscuro y extraño que convierte la sangre en fuerza y la muerte en destino. Montado en su cabra de guerra, una bestia tan feroz como su espíritu, Tygran empuña un hacha que canta con cada golpe, liderando a los últimos enanos de las Landas en una cruzada desesperada contra las hordas trasgas que infestan el norte, un enemigo infinito que surge de cuevas profundas y torres de hierro oxidado. Desde las cenizas de un campamento aniquilado hasta el corazón ardiente de una fortaleza que amenaza con engullir Eriador, esta odisea desgarradora entrelaza el alma trágica de El Hobbit con la grandeza sombría de El Señor de los Anillos. Los enanos de Landas de Etten no buscan refugio: cazan con una furia que hace temblar la tierra, sus martillos de mithril dorado y catapultas de fuego forjando un camino de sangre y ruinas. Pero la victoria tiene un costo. Cuando la última torre trasga cae en un infierno de humo y acero, y los elfos de Rivendel hallan a Tygran al borde del abismo, su cuerpo roto entre gigantes despedazados, un grito silencioso resuena: ¿qué fuerza sobrenatural impulsa a este enano a doblegar titanes y comandar ejércitos, y qué precio pagará por un poder que no comprende? Sumérgete en una epopeya de venganza y sacrificio, donde el legado de Durin se enfrenta a un destino teñido de sangre y misterio. Los enanos rugen, los elfos observan, y la Tierra Media tiembla ante un héroe que podría ser su salvación… o su perdición.

In the spiritual world invisible to the human eye constant and brutal war rages between angels and demons for the souls of humankind. As humanity spread to other planets in the universe, so too did their divine guardians and vile attackers. There are multiple heavens and hells scattered around, serving as bases of operation for each side in this neverending battle. To combat their hellish enemies, angels organized a special military order. They called them Hell Purgers. Every member underwent rigorous training in an effort to become the best warriors the angelic force had in their ranks. With practice and constant battle, their power and skill grew and they eventually became one-man armies, bringing many victories to the angels. This in time made them the main targets of the demonic side and in various ways, one by one, they were eliminated until only a few remained. One of the few survivors of this legendary order who, now old and wise from the immense experience of countless battles he took part in, took it upon himself to reinvigorate the order.

With his training complete, the young apprentice is now ready for his final exam. This is where our story begins. Follow his journey from being a willing, but inexperienced apprentice to becoming the legendary Hell Purger, the bane demons!

In the northern royal kingdom of Arszden, nothing is as it seems. Being one of the oldest of the Fourteen Kingdoms, time has made its history both fact and fairytale, and to this day, nobody knows which is more accurate, either fantasy or reality. Katarina Kasdan was born free, but 321 days ago, her entire world crumbled at her feet. Not for the first time, and surely, not for the last. Stripped of her right to freedom after her entire village was burned to the ground, she was taken as a thrall by the woman known as the Keiserinne, and used for her dark wishes. But her wyrd was long ago settled. When the infamous Steel Kairo walks into her life, everything changes, once more. He is everything she hates. Everything she fears. Everything she loves. He has secrets interwoven with the very birth of the world he seems to carry in his shoulders, holds more power than one should ever be given to wield, and, on top of it all, he is said to be immortal. Something she should have known the first time she tried to stab him. Or when he offered to teach her to throw knives. Or when he kissed her for the first time. But as another king sits on his throne destined to fall, others reach to claim a crown bejeweled with secrets that could mean the unveiling of a long-lost prophecy and a wyrd millennia before settled. And as false kings race to claim an inheritance that is neither theirs nor the king's firstborn, the wyrd wields its hand to place upon the one true heir's head the crown of the Lost King. And amid such secrets lies a fate that claims that these two will be the bane of each other's existence until the blood of one of them is shed upon a land of daisies. Thus, chaos will come. Lives will be lost. Bonds will be made. Vows will be broken. Blood will be spilled. Fates will be set. And war will be waged. And the only remaining question is whether steel will be broken or a daisy will blossom. (Norse mythology and Viking inspired)

In a small village, a bulky man with bronzed skin sat with his daughter, Ireal. Her porcelain complexion, white hair, and piercing blue eyes made her look like a noble, a stark contrast to her rugged father. Ireal's innocent gaze met her father's as she asked, "Father, why are you crying?" The hunter's forced smile faltered, and he was taken aback. "What did you say, Ireal?" He tried to compose himself. "I'm not crying, so why would you say that?" Ireal's expression remained clear and unwavering. "I can hear you crying, Father. You're sad because Mother died." She took a step closer, her small hand reaching out. "You're in pain, and I don't want you to hurt. I'll take care of you for Mom." The hunter's eyes welled up with tears as he chuckled, his voice shaking. "Silly girl." He looked at her with newfound curiosity. "Do you mean you can hear my thoughts?" Ireal nodded, her blue eyes sparkling. "Yes, Father. Mother knew about it, and she told me not to tell anyone." In a world where dragons reign, a teenage girl's life is forever changed. Ireal, an orphaned infant, was found and adopted by a loving hunter couple. But after her adoptive mother's tragic death, Ireal's village is ravaged by dragons seeking the prince's mate.

As she navigates this new world, Ireal must confront her destiny and the mysteries of her past. Will Ireal accept her new role as the prince's mate, or will she fight against her fate? What secrets lie hidden in Ireal's past? Can Ireal navigate the treacherous world of dragons or will she become a pawn in their games of power? Will she be able to love prince Kael or destroy him for destroying her people?

(The cover isn't mine) The world of Elysium is a world of legends and magic. A world where swords and the arcane collide is a world full of magical creatures and beasts like dragons and elves and on paper living in a world like this would seem like a dream for fantasy fans. But if you’ve read lord of the rings or literally any fantasy story where there’s conflict on a global scale you know that this could SUCK because in reality it is far from sunshine and rainbows. In reality Elysium used to be nothing but an abandoned husk of a world. Completely void of life the world of Elysium was on the brink of destruction as the planet slowly crumbled and decayed. But that was before “they” appeared. The gods of the universe nicknamed the titans saw potential in this husk of a planet and decided to use their powers over life to not only bring life to the planet in the form of oceans, forests and jungles. But they also created countless species to roam the earth. And as new life entered the world Elysium was also blessed with the same powerful and mystical energy known as Arcane energy or mana which was the same energy the titans wielded. Arcane energy granted those who can wield it superhuman and magical abilities and shortly after the birth of Arcane energy new gods begun to appear and influence the species of Elysium Many species came into existence but there were multiple more intelligent species that were favored by these new gods that came into existence shortly after the birth of new life. The elves were blessed by the elegant and powerful gods of Elysium led by the phoenix god of power phenix and his children. Though few in number this beautiful and powerful species of creatures were blessed with immortality and a talent for the Arcane arts. Durin the father of all dwarves and the first dwarven god blessed with the power of creation created a species of strong and stubborn species known as the dwarves and blessed them with a mastery over fire forging enchantments and craftsmanship and possessed a legendary knowledge over runes. And then there were the humans. Unlike other species they were not strong individually but made up for it with their large numbers and while they did not possess the blessings of the gods they were blessed with the gift of knowledge and evolution. While other species were discovering fire humans were mastering the use of gunpowder. And instead of focusing on mastering the arcane like the elves or enchantments and runes like the dwarves humanity focused on evolving their technology along with their allies the gnomes. However after a war between these species against the demonic creatures of Helheim 500'000 years ago the secret war between man and the supernatural continues waging on so that the public can continue living in peace.
