Battlestar Galactica Viper

THE CHOOSEN ONES

In the glittering, snake-infested court of Ignis, where power was a double-edged sword and loyalty a rare gem, Selanthia Amaris Nyxveil stood as a legend cloaked in infamy. Known by many names—*The Hound of the Emperor*, **The Cursed Sword*, **The Witch of Nyxveil*, and *The Abandoned One*—she was a weapon forged by duty and sharpened by betrayal. For forty long years, she served as the Emperor’s blade, cutting down threats to the throne with ruthless precision. Yet, behind the cold steel and the icy gaze, Selanthia harbored no love for the crown or the vipers who surrounded it. She was a woman bound by fate, not choice. At 48, weary of the endless machinations of the court, Selanthia chose to retire. With no family to call her own, she left behind the gilded cage of Ignis for the simplicity of the countryside. Her dreams were modest: to bake sweet treats, tend to chickens, lose herself in books she’d never had time to read, and find solace in the quiet rhythm of church prayers. A peaceful, ordinary life—a stark contrast to the blood-stained path she had walked for decades. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Just 28 hours into her newfound tranquility, Selanthia’s life was brutally cut short. Poisoned and attacked in the dead of night, she breathed her last beneath a cold, uncaring sky. Her final thoughts were not of vengeance or regret for the life she had led, but of the life she had never known. She wished for love, for a kind and handsome partner, for children whose laughter might have filled the void in her heart. She wished she had never taken up the sword, that she might have written a different ending to her tale. Yet, death was not the end. Selanthia awoke not in the afterlife but in a world both familiar and strange. Perched high in a cherry blossom tree, she was greeted by the voice of Rina, her long-dead confidante. Now, thrust into a bewildering new reality, Selanthia must unravel the threads of this strange second chance. Is this a cruel jest of the gods, a dream spun from her dying regrets, or something far more sinister? And why, of all people, THAT MAN—who disappeared without a word— is acting all weird? As the petals of the cherry blossoms fall around her, Selanthia finds herself caught in a web of mystery, romance, and perhaps, redemption. But in this enchanted new life, where nothing is as it seems, can she unravel the twist of life brought forward by THAT MAN? Or will the shadows of her past rise to claim her once more?

As Axel navigated the treacherous landscape of gang politics and violence, he discovered that he had a natural talent for leadership.

Axel received a mysterious message from an unknown sender, offering him a chance to join a secret organization known only as "The Syndicate." The Syndicate was a mysterious and powerful group that operated in the shadows, pulling the strings of power in New Haven. They were rumored to be involved in everything from extortion and bribery to murder and mayhem. Axel was both intrigued and intimidated by the offer. He knew that joining The Syndicate would mean giving up his independence and his freedom, but he also knew that it could be the key to unlocking his true potential.

As the stakes grew higher, Axel found himself at the center of a deadly game of cat and mouse. He was forced to use all of his skills and resources to stay one step ahead of his enemies, and to uncover the truth about The Syndicate.

Starlit Destiny: The Lawyer Reborn as an Omega Prince

Arrabella Symmonds was a powerhouse corporate lawyer, feared in the boardroom and respected by her peers. But after years of pushing herself too hard, a heart attack abruptly ended her life, just as she sought a moment of peace in the kitchen—a rare escape from her high-pressure world. But death was not the end. Arrabella's soul is unexpectedly reborn into a far-future, interstellar society. She wakes up as Jiang Ying Yue, an Omega prince in the Arcturus Dominion, a distant kingdom descended from Earth's last survivors—the Chinese people, who escaped Earth’s destruction centuries ago by sending their population into space. In this new world, the distinctions between men and women have blurred. The only thing that matters is whether you are an Alpha or an Omega. Alphas, regardless of their original gender, hold positions of power, while Omegas are valued for their ability to bear children and form alliances through marriage. Jiang Ying Yue, formerly Arrabella, quickly learns that as an Omega, she is at the mercy of a society that views her more as a prize than a person. And worse, she has been betrothed to General Kael Ardin, a feared and legendary Alpha known as the God of War of the Galactica Empire. Cold, disciplined, and seemingly devoid of emotion, Kael’s name alone strikes fear into enemies across galaxies. However, Jiang Ying Yue is no ordinary Omega. Drawing upon her past life’s experience as a sharp and relentless lawyer, she refuses to be a passive participant in this new life. She begins to navigate the dangerous political landscape with her wit and cunning, determined to carve out a future of her own choosing, even in a world where Omegas are expected to submit. With the looming threat of her marriage to the intimidating General Kael, Jiang Ying Yue must prepare for the challenges ahead—both in the treacherous world of royal politics and the emotional battle between duty and desire. Can she survive in a world where power is everything, and Alphas rule with iron fists, or will she find a way to forge her own destiny?
