Reborn in secret, Kaen joins a prestigious hunter academy. To the world, he is just another student. But behind his calm smile lies something older than gods, angels, and all creation itself: Primordial Darkness. As divine weapons awaken, ancient pacts return, and war brews in the heavens once more... the one who watched everything unfold finally begins to move.

They left me to die. But this world had other plans. When our deep-space expedition crashed on a hostile alien planet, I thought the survivors would stick together. I was wrong. The moment the beasts came, my crew threw me to them—used me as bait to save themselves. I should’ve died out there. But death never came. Rescued by the native tribes who walk through ash and fire, I awoke in a world of primal gods, ancestral trials, and secrets buried in the soil. They didn’t know what I was—or what I could become. Neither did I. With broken tech, buried knowledge, and fire in my blood, I rose. And as I carved out a new place among these people, I asked myself: If I can lead them... should I? If those who betrayed me return... will I show mercy—or burn them to ash? In this world, survival is earned. And I was abandoned—so I will rise.

In a kingdom where emotions fuel magic, everyone is trained to control their feelings—because too much love, rage, or grief can literally level a city. But Ariya, a seventeen-year-old girl born with "null magic" (zero emotional magic response), is the anomaly: unbothered, unmagical, and totally free in a society ruled by restraint. Until... she accidentally saves a dying mysterious boy—Kael, who turns out to be the last heir of a cursed bloodline, banished centuries ago. His emotions are magic. Unfiltered. Explosive. And now bonded to Ariya, the only person who can suppress his chaos and stop the ancient curse eating him alive. Together, they’re forced into hiding. But there’s a catch: the more time they spend together, the more Ariya begins to feel. And as she starts to awaken emotionally, her null magic doesn't disappear—it morphs. She doesn’t just feel things. She begins to absorb and amplify the emotions of those around her, turning her into a magical bomb of empathy. As enemies close in and kingdoms wage war over control of Kael’s unstable powers, Ariya must choose: Stay emotionally numb and safe, Or unlock her power, fall in love, and risk losing everything in a magical meltdown that could destroy them both.

But when a strange sigil scars itself across his chest, Kaiser awakens something ancient within him—an evolving system known as the Path of Remembrance. It doesn’t promise justice. It doesn’t grant mercy. It rewards only one thing: understanding through dominance. As the lines between memory and reality blur, Kaiser must navigate a brutal hierarchy of forgotten powers, deceitful legacies, and inhuman opponents. In a world where everyone hides behind masks, he chooses to be the blade that cuts through illusion. There is no chosen one. No prophecy. Only a man who refuses to kneel.

"She was supposed to be silent. She chose chaos instead." At thirteen, Lorraine vowed to a boy, “I’ll be your poison. I’ll be your blade in the shadows. I’ll live for you.” The catch? She was supposed to be mute and deaf. The bigger catch? He was a hostage prince with no power. Raised in a household where her father adored her perfect half-sister Elyse, Lorraine was thrown into a political marriage with Prince Leroy. Unfortunately, he liked Elyse too. Of course he did. Lorraine played the role of the forgotten wife, but still gave it all. Loyalty, time, and space. The Silent Crown, they called her. Fitting, really. No one expected anything from her.

So, she gave herself one month. One month before she vanished from Vaeloria, from the life that had chewed her up and smiled while doing it. But before she left? She wanted revenge. On the father who put her through hell. On the sister who took her place. On everyone who hurt her and laughed at her. And continuing with… an affair… with Leroy. Yes, you read that right.

And she doesn’t care to correct him. She’ll ruin him with pleasure. Then leave him with regret. That was the plan. The kingdom has no idea what’s coming. The Silent Crown has stopped waiting to be loved. Now, she wants war. And she’ll watch it all burn from the shadows.

Lancelot Haier came from a dynasty of politicians who had ruled with tyranny and oppression. Despite those origins, he despised his family and was willing to help the citizens who had long suffered under their rule. However—before he even had the chance to change his country, the people revolted. His entire family was executed, and he was killed along with them. In his final moments, he wished for a second life—one where he could redeem himself and carry the sins of his bloodline. Unexpectedly, that wish was granted. He was reincarnated into another world as the crown prince of the Kingdom of Aragon. But in this world, everything felt backward. The country was ruled by an absolute monarch. Feudalism was the norm. Technology resembled that of the late 1700s. Fortunately, in his past life, he had earned degrees in both mechanical engineering and political science—knowledge he once hoped to use to reform his homeland. Now, it seemed he would use them here instead. He would use his modern knowledge to transform the lives of his people, industrialize his territory, gain the upper hand in technology, and form alliances with foreign nations—all while navigating the treacherous waters of internal affairs and politics. P.S While Reincarnated as the Crown Prince draws inspiration from historical settings, political systems, and technologies of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, this work is entirely fictional. All characters, governments, names, and events—although some may resemble real-world history—are products of the author’s imagination or are used in a fictionalized, altered form for narrative purposes. This novel is not a historical account. It should not be interpreted as a factual representation of any real monarch, nation, revolution, or political figure. Lancelot Haier, his backstory, and the alternate version of different kingdoms portrayed here are entirely original creations. The inclusion of familiar concepts like feudalism, industrialization, and political reform serves the plot and world-building, not historical documentation. Readers seeking accuracy in history are encouraged to consult verified academic sources. This story is a creative work meant for entertainment, character development, and speculative exploration of “what-if” scenarios rooted in alternate history.
