Fountain Gate Piercing

The weak are insulted and abused the strong are praised and worshipped. Haji had spent his life buried in xianxia, wuxia, and fantasy—always yearning for a world beyond the mundane Earth. One fateful day during his leisurely stroll in the forest, a spatial rift tore open before him. An impossible phenomenon. A never before seen opportunity. Without hesitation, he stepped through. The rift vanished; as did Haji Darkness. Chaos. The vast unknown. Then—light. Haji awakened, not as himself, but as a newborn. Reborn into a poor clan, in a world where life was cheap and cruelty was law. His instincts roared. His soul remained unshaken. He devoured the infant’s soul without hesitation, seizing the body for himself. In this world, he would crawl if he had to, kneel if it meant survival. He would kowtow, beg, flatter, and endure humiliation. But he would remember. He would engrave every insult, every glare, every bystander who stood idle as he suffered. He would return their kindness with indifference, and their malice with vengeance a hundredfold. Jade beauties? He would defile them. The rest? He would refine them. For now, he was weak. A mere cub. But one day, he would pierce above the heavens. On that day, there would be no more restraints. No more caution. No more rules. Only his will, unchallenged and eternal.

Nature is fair—it follows fixed rules and remains impartial regardless of race, age or gender. Natural selection is something which all living things must face and humans are no exception. Silas was only fourteen when he lost his parents to the brutal orc bandit raids. For years, he worked in the field just to provide for himself and his sister, Ruth. Life was going smooth and there was hope for the future, and then the raiders came back. They tried to run like other villagers, but they were hunted down like animals by the raiders.

Be patient with me, okay? Wish me luck and thank you for your support!

In a world ravaged by war and left in ruin for over a century, humanity clings to survival in scattered enclaves. The remnants of once-powerful military regimes now rule with iron fists from fortified bases, preying on the weak and keeping fear alive.

But freedom comes at a cost, and the military force she left behind will stop at nothing to hunt her down and destroy the spark of rebellion she carries.

Important Note: This book is a slowburn romance with themes of trafficking, bloodshed, murder, and explicit content. Parental guidance is strongly advised. *** All her life, Celeste Caddell has been nothing more than a pawn in her own family's cruel games. Just when she thought she’d seen it all, she’s sold to a notorious trafficking syndicate, where she’s auctioned off to the highest bidder. To her surprise, that bidder is Nicolai Cassano, a powerful and ruthless mafia lord with his own agenda. Nicolai doesn’t offer Celeste pity or kindness—he offers her a deal: in exchange for her submissiveness, he will grant her the two things she craves most: revenge on those who wronged her, and the freedom she’s never known. What begins as a temporary alliance fueled by shared desire for vengeance begins to ignite into something more. But as their connection deepens, both Celeste and Nicolai must face the cost of their choices—an alliance that was supposed to be fleeting may change everything they thought they wanted. *** Excerpt: “You have two choices, kitty,” Nicolai’s voice was sharp, filled with power. “Take what I’m giving when I’m giving it, or go back to the syndicate.” Celeste’s blood turned to ice at the mention of the syndicate. Two nights in that hellhole had been enough to show her that there was no going back. Could she really let him return her there? Without hesitation, she shook her head. “One year, right? I’ll do it.” Nicolai scoffed. “Just as I thought, kitty. Just as I thought.” Celeste lowered her gaze, fighting back the tears. Deep down, she knew she was making a deal with the devil. But in this twisted game, she had no other choice. Either this, or nothing.

***REWRITING*** --- In the Bible, the Raven was deemed unclean, associated with death and the darkness of the unknown. In Islam, it was one of the five animals permitted for sacrifice, and its reputation as a harbinger of doom overshadowed its sharper qualities. Yet, beneath these negative connotations lay a creature of extraordinary intelligence and cunning, a master of problem-solving. There was always a divide between the Raven and mankind. It was a creature that carried divine light, an ancient symbol of life force, and played a pivotal role in the creation myths of the universe. Despite its negative reputation, the Raven was far more complex than it appeared. It was the keeper of secrets. The Raven was a cheater, but this trait was not to be vilified. In truth, those who deceived were often the ones who survived—witty, charming, and endlessly creative. The Raven saw and knew everything. It was the symbol of the sun, a being of contradictions: gracious but dangerous, beautiful but destructive. --- This is not a fairy tale. This is the life inside an author's book. But what if the author herself fell into a world she had never created?

They were the last line of defense, the only hope against the encroaching darkness. Kim Seyn, once just a solitary hunter, was now about to become something more.
