Maggie Halls

Yutaka Kashiwabara has worked most of his life in silence — a janitor at a neglected public high school in Adachi Ward, Tokyo. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia years ago, he managed to keep his condition stable, living quietly and without incident. Now, at 58, he's grown tired. He looks into early retirement, hoping for some peace, only to find the pension deductions would leave him with almost nothing. With no real choice, he keeps sweeping the halls. One afternoon, he notices a student lingering near the records office: Renji Kubo, withdrawn, quiet — the kind of boy teachers forget to take attendance for. When Yutaka catches him trying to alter school records, something unexpected happens. He doesn’t report him. Instead, he listens.

Ning Zhen is no ordinary heir to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. With a mother who bends fire into weapons and a father who rules with wisdom and light, he inherits a martial spirit like no other — a nine-tiered pagoda fused with sacred flame and crafting might. Armed with an ancient soul, a strange affinity for hammers and runes, and the power to forge spirit gear that evolves with battle, Ning Zhen isn’t aiming to be the strongest... just the one everyone else needs when their swords break. Watch as the gentle-forged boy turns molten metal into miracles, fights with wit (and slightly flaming fists), and shows Spirit Hall why you never underestimate a crafter.

"They took everything from me—my family, my peace, my purpose. So I found a new one... revenge." After years commanding legions on distant battlefields, General Kael Roran returns home to a silent house and blood-soaked walls. His wife and child—murdered. His name—erased. His honor—burned to ash. Broken and betrayed, Kael vanishes into the shadows of the city, only to be taken in by a mysterious old man—once a master healer and forgotten appraiser of ancient relics. Through pain, scars, and wisdom, Kael is reborn—not as a soldier, but as a healer, a strategist, and a hunter of truth. When he saves a dying martial artist with secrets of her own, their fates intertwine. As their bond grows, so does his empire—first in the shadows, then across the city, then the world. From back alleys to boardrooms, from battlefields to business halls—Kael will rise. Not for glory. Not for wealth. But to bury those who thought him dead—and honor the ashes of all he lost.

She was never meant to wear the crown. He was never meant to fall. But fate doesn't ask permission. In the kingdom of Velaris — where every rose has thorns and every noble smile hides a blade — Lady Lyra of House Norwyn is thrust into a deadly dance of power, pride, and passion. Duke Kaelrin, cold-hearted and untouchable, dismisses her with a single cruel remark. But when their worlds collide at court, insults turn into challenges… and sparks turn into something far more dangerous. As gossip ignites across gilded halls and war brews behind velvet curtains — Will Lyra guard her heart, or lose it to the man who was never meant to love?

In a galaxy fractured by ancient bloodlines, buried technology, and forgotten truths, Kael, a boy abandoned on a mining world, discovers he is the last heir to a legacy feared and forbidden. Raised in the dust, armed with brilliance beyond his years, and guided by a relic long buried in myth, Kael's journey begins in silence. From the forgotten edges of space to the political halls of power, from military academies to void-locked civilizations, Kael must navigate secrets, war, and his own awakening to reclaim a future written in blood and time.

Silvermist Evermore never belonged. Born to unloving parents and cast aside, she had long accepted that life would never offer her warmth—until she was chosen as an apprentice at Moonstone Academy, a place where magic breathes and fate is written in the stars. But her arrival comes with a price. In an act of betrayal and manipulation, Silvermist shatters Frost's staff, the formidable Winter Guardian, unraveling a secret that should have remained buried. Now, bound by an ancient rule, she must take its place—not as a mere apprentice, but as something far more dangerous: Frost’s human staff, the living embodiment of his power. As Silvermist struggles to navigate the treacherous halls of her reality, a shadow began appearing to her, feeding her magic she was never meant to wield. Hunted by those who seek to use her, Silvermist must uncover the truth behind her own existence before she loses herself to the very storm she was forced to face. Can she survive the weight of Winter, or will she be the final snowfall that buries them all?

Leon Thorne was the disgrace of his house, overweight, softspoken, and dismissed as a failure before he ever picked up a sword. Mocked during the Awakening and branded an F-rank, he was expected to fade quietly from the halls of power. But he didn’t. Because this wasn’t his first life. In another timeline, Leon watched House Thorne fall, shamed, scattered and erased from history. Powerless to stop it then, he’s been given one chance to rewrite it now. Stripped of excuses and reshaped by hardship, Leon claws his way forward—through blood, sweat and silence. Now, leaner and sharper, he enters an academy where only strength speaks and legacy decides your worth. But Leon carries no crest. No backing. Just scars, a sword, and the will to shatter fate itself. He’s not looking to be acknowledged or praised. He’s going to rewrite everything. NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES.

Chen Sansi traveled back to the chaotic end of a dynasty, thankfully with the hardworking system by his side.

With officials imposing heavy taxes and the Martial Arts Hall bullying the citizens, he had no choice but to enlist in the army to survive, becoming an archer.

Watching his subordinates forcibly ascend him to the throne and become emperor, he felt quite helpless: 'You... you have really caused me trouble!'

I thought going back to school would help me forget. But the nightmares came back worse than ever—and when I found that book, everything changed. The moment I opened it, I was dragged into a distorted version of my school—twisted halls, whispering shadows, and a creature that should’ve killed me.

Hunting not for revenge, but to evolve. Someone saved me again. Someone familiar. But I can feel it—this is only the beginning. Who I was doesn’t matter anymore. What’s coming…

At Astrails Academy, power isn’t rare—it’s practically required. Everyone arrives with a Unique Ability, an Arcane Power, and an ego inflated by centuries of privilege. They cast spells like poetry, duel for reputation, and expect the world to bow just because their name comes with a title. Ace Dragnell is not one of them. His powers don’t sparkle in tournaments. They don’t come with fanfare, legacy, or applause. They just work—cleanly, precisely, and without mercy. He doesn’t duel to entertain. He disassembles—arrogant young masters, smug nobles, and even the prideful ladies wrapped in silk and superiority. He’s not here to survive the academy. He’s here to make it his. The halls they once ruled? His. The factions they feared? His. The daughters they promised to power and legacy? They’ll kneel too. Because while the rest chase prestige… Ace came to take everything apart—and keep the best pieces for himself.

The Portrait of Lady Marian is a lush, slow-burning descent into madness, obsession, and a love story that should never have happened. Sinister, sensual, and dripping in dread, this is not a tale you read— it’s one you survive.
