Synopsis: It is not a city for the weak, Noctavia. Behind the upscale establishments, exclusive clubs, and respectable companies, this city is a crime hotspot. A place where deals conducted behind closed doors bring in both blood and money. Lilith Castellano occupies the highest position in this hierarchy as a predator rather than a victim. At the age of 18, Lilith has become a legend. Her face is as beautiful as that of a goddess, and her eyes are blue like a deep ocean that holds dark secrets. For anyone who disagrees with her, she is a nightmare despite her charm. Lilith is the leader of Casa Castellano, the deadliest mafia organization in Noctavia, and is responsible for both illegal businesses and the black market. But also the clandestine politics that maintain the power structure in this metropolis. Casa Castellano's main conference room was filled with the smell of cigars and an invisible tension. A huge man scowled at Lilith, his cheek scarred. "A little girl like you doesn't deserve to lead." He smirked and tapped the table with the tip of a little knife as he continued, "The mafia is a man's business." Lilith tapped her sharp fingernail against the red wine-filled crystal goblet and smiled softly. "Very funny," she responded flatly. "I also think a man like you doesn't deserve to live." The gunfire reverberated across the room before the man could react. Everyone ceased talking. Blood dripped from the man's forehead as he collapsed on the table. Calmly, Lilith set her silver revolver on the table. Then she took a sip of her wine as though nothing had occurred. "Is there anyone else who wants to dictate how I should lead?" He looked around the room before asking. Nobody was brave enough to speak. But there's always a cost to having power. Lilith is surrounded by treachery, fierce rivalry, and long-standing foes who want to see her fail. The Order of Tenebris, the group that previously decimated her family, has reappeared from the shadows with a plan she never saw coming. They're not just interested in taking his throne but also in unearthing the past he has long suppressed. Lilith has to make a decision between political intrigue, gang battles, and secrets that could alter everything. Fall as a pawn in a larger game or live as a queen. There is only one rule in a world where weakness is death and trust is a deadly weapon. Kill or be killed. And Lilith Castellano never chose to be a victim....

Five hundred years after his death, Orion awakens in the aristocratic Reyes family—one of the five ruling houses of the Petrosyan Confederacy. With both his experience and trauma from another life, he must carve his own path in a world shaped by power, technology, and ruthless ambition. On a mission to Cerros-7, in the heart of a bustling market, a woman draped in tattered veils appears before him, her ember-like eyes burning with eerie intensity. With a grip as cold as death, she seizes his hand and whispers a prophecy that sends a chill down his spine: "The sky must fall for your star to rise, A veil of despair shrouds crimson skies. Through ash and ember, your brilliance softly flies, A light reborn where endless darkness lies." As he navigates treacherous politics, genetic evolution, and a destiny far greater than himself, Orion must uncover the truth, before the prophecy becomes his undoing.

Tidak... ini tidak mungkin! Ann menarik napas dalam-dalam dan mendorong pintu sedikit lebih lebar. Dadanya terasa seperti akan meledak saat ia menahan napas sementara celah itu melebar.

I'm not sure exactly where this story will go, but if you want a story that isn't one of those harem, power fantasy type stories, then you've come to the right place. The only hope I have is to bring a story to life; not just about fireballs and whatnot, but also about the life, scenery, and people of a fantasy world. Idk if that sounds cliche, but that's the general idea I have for this story. I'll modify that statement to better explain this whole shebang as we move along. I'll also be developing the world, too; it'd be pretty awesome to have something on the side, like a bestiary type list of creatures and plants and materials, people, cultures, and whatnot--something along the lines of a fictional 'The Travels' by Marco Polo. My minimum word count per chapter is around 1,200 words. Of course, word count will vary between chapters, but 1,200 is just the minimum I've created for myself. That number will probably grow as my writing skills develop and I find my 'writing voice'. This is a complete passion project I've started again in the midst of a very busy time of my life; I can't promise any scheduling, but nonetheless, I think it'll be a fun ride for all of us, if a bit bumpy lol. Thank you for taking the time to check out my book! I hope you enjoy it :)

David once lived as a man afraid of risk, trapped in the stagnation of his own cowardice. But death didn’t grant him peace—it placed him in a new body, stripped of its former memories, in a world teetering on the edge of survival. For three days, he has watched from the shadows, listening to soldiers speak of war, dwindling supplies, and an unseen leader whose commands send men to their deaths. The fort he lingers near is not a bastion of strength but a cage of desperation, held together by fear and blind faith. Humans, he realizes, are no different from beasts—driven by hunger, survival, and the will to dominate. They follow leaders like a pack follows an alpha, and when that leader falls, they will tear each other apart to take their place. The soldiers march west, leaving only a handful behind. Their absence is an opportunity, and David has never been more willing to take a risk. He does not know what the future holds, nor what kind of man he will become in this new life. But he does know one thing—whether man or beast, only the strongest survive.
