The Commoner King: Rebirth of the Administrative Prince

In a world where bloodlines determine power and innovation is seen as heresy, one man will defy tradition to reshape a kingdom. Cedric Valerian, the youngest son of King Alaric, is an outcast in his own family. Born to a disgraced noblewoman and despised by his ambitious siblings, he is seen as nothing more than a half-blood prince with no claim to the throne. But Cedric is no ordinary noble—he is the reincarnation of a modern-day civil servant, armed with knowledge and ideals far ahead of his time. When Cedric is sent to the prestigious Royal Academy, he sees it as an opportunity to prove his worth. But the academy is a battlefield of politics, intrigue, and betrayal, where his siblings—Edmund, the ruthless crown prince; Selene, the cunning diplomat; and Roland, the hotheaded warrior—are determined to see him fail. With the help of a band of unlikely allies—Lysandra, a brilliant economist; Tristan, a disgraced knight; Garrett, a skilled craftsman; and Seraphina, a mysterious noblewoman with secrets of her own—Cedric begins to uncover the truth about his mother’s legacy. Hidden beneath the academy lies a workshop filled with revolutionary inventions, blueprints for a future that could lift the kingdom out of poverty and oppression. But the path to change is fraught with danger. The Shadow Council, a secretive faction within the court, will stop at nothing to maintain their grip on power. As Cedric and his allies work to bring his mother’s vision to life, they must navigate a web of lies, sabotage, and assassination attempts. From the halls of the academy to the desolate barony of Ashenfell, Cedric will face trials that test his resolve, his ingenuity, and his humanity. Can he outwit his enemies, unite a fractured kingdom, and claim his rightful place as a king who rules not by birthright, but by the strength of his ideas? The Commoner King: Rebirth of the Administrative Prince is a gripping tale of ambition, innovation

War Scars

The drums of war beat a relentless rhythm, echoing across the land and shaping the destinies of three individuals bound together by conflict yet driven by vastly different motivations. Their interwoven and complex stories paint a stark portrait of the human cost of war, shifting perspectives to reveal the brutal truths hidden beneath banners and battle cries. First, we meet Lairia Lights, a 20-year-old knight, the shining beacon of her kingdom. Her name, ironically, reflects the deceptive nature of her reality. Lairia is celebrated as a hero, a symbol of unwavering loyalty and strength. But beneath the polished armor and skilled swordsmanship lies a pawn. Her unwavering devotion to the crown makes her easily manipulated, a weapon wielded by those who prioritize power over principle. She believes in the righteousness of her kingdom’s cause, blindly charging into battles fueled by propaganda and a naive belief in honor. Her narrative is a cautionary tale of blind loyalty. Then there is Aaron Rodgers, an 18-year-old warrior consumed by the fires of revenge. Marked by his race and ostracized by prejudice, Aaron has known hardship since birth. The war has taken everything from him, leaving a burning desire to avenge the injustices inflicted upon his people. Unlike Lairia, Aaron sees the cracks in the kingdom’s facade. He understands the war not as a glorious crusade, but as a brutal land grab fueled by greed and power. His motivations are raw and visceral; he fights not for ideals, but for survival and retribution. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. Finally, we encounter Clayton Danks, a 37-year-old veteran warrior, a ghost haunted by the specters of his past. Clayton has seen too much, done too much. The war has stripped him of his innocence, leaving him burdened by the weight of his past mistakes. More profoundly, the war has cost him his family, the loss of his daughter a constant, agonizing reminder of the price of conflict. He grapples with PTSD, struggling to reconcile the man he once was with the broken individual he has become. Clayton’s story serves as a stark warning about the long-term consequences of war, the invisible wounds that fester long after the battles have ended. He represents the forgotten casualties, the veterans left to silently battle their demons while the world moves on. As the war intensifies, the paths of Lairia, Aaron, and Clayton are destined to intersect. Will Lairia’s blind loyalty finally be shattered, forcing her to confront the true nature of her kingdom? Can Aaron find solace beyond revenge, or will his thirst for retribution consume him? And will Clayton ever find peace, or is he doomed to forever wander the desolate landscape of his past?

Echoes of the Frozen Cosmos: The Mastery of Arfrotian

Arfrotian, ruler of the vast oceanic realm of Primavius Azureonic, bears the immense burden of Pandora, a destructive power capable of annihilating existence itself. Known as the Red Ice, Pandora is a force so volatile that Arfrotian isolates himself in an uncharted, icy omniverse—a barren wasteland, devoid of life, where he can master its overwhelming potential without endangering the people he is sworn to protect. But the omniverse is not as lifeless as it seems. Hidden in the endless frost are two warring factions: the enigmatic shadow elves, masters of Black Ice magic, and the divine angels of Luminia, harbingers of light and purity. Drawn into their clash, Arfrotian finds himself caught between two ideologies, navigating political intrigue, fragile alliances, and a conflict that threatens to consume the entire omniverse. As Arfrotian delves deeper into this frozen realm, he encounters the Ice Phoenix, a mythical guardian with ties to the omniverse’s mysterious past. The Ice Phoenix holds the key to unlocking the truth behind the omniverse’s icy desolation—and perhaps, Arfrotian’s own path to mastering Pandora. What begins as a solitary journey of self-control transforms into an epic adventure of conquest, redemption, and balance. Can Arfrotian prevent Pandora from consuming him while forging a destiny among the shadow elves, angels, and the vast unknown? Or will his presence spark the ultimate collapse of an already fragile omniverse?
