Aria Maheshwari walked away from everything—her past as a undercover CBI officer, as the daughter of a powerful family, and the chaos of Delhi—seeking peace in a quiet town of Himachal Pradesh. But peace ends the day an envelope arrives from her best friend, Ruhani Roy, who has mysteriously disappeared. Inside the envelope—A letter informing her of Ruhani’s children and the danger looming above them — Ruhani’s photo with a stranger, behind it an address. At that location, Aria discovers a bloodied teenage girl named Vidya clutching two newborn twins. She claims Ruhani has been missing for five days after going to meet the lover she hadn’t seen in nearly a year. Following Ruhani’s last instructions, Vidya begs Aria for her help. Aria takes the twins under her care and begins to investigate. Her trail leads back to the Rajvanshi family—wealthy, powerful, and dangerous. Ruhani’s lover? Ahaan Rajvanshi, the only heir of the empire. Determined to protect the children and avenge her bestfriend, Aria agrees to a strategic marriage arranged by her parents, tying herself to the very man she intends to destroy. But the truth is far more twisted. The twins aren't his, but his hidden elder twin — Rudra's, a hidden weapon shaped by the Rajvanshi family's dark legacy. Ahaan is tormented by his brother’s disappearance, and Aria's arrival with the babies. There’s something familiar in Aria’s fierce protectiveness… something Rudra once described about the girl he loved in secret. As their reluctant partnership deepens, an undeniable attraction simmers—complicated by guilt, suspicion, and buried grief. Their fragile trust shatters when someone tries to kidnap the elder twin, triggering a confrontation that unearths secrets both have fought to keep hidden. As danger closes in and truths unravel, Aria and Ahaan must face their haunted pasts, forbidden emotions, and decide where their loyalties lie. In a world where love is treated as weakness and survival comes at a brutal cost, they’ll need more than truth to protect the innocent—they’ll need each other.

She was betrayed. Burned. Crowned in thorns. Ashara Vael was once the Empress of the Ninefold Empire—feared, revered, and ultimately sacrificed. In a single night, her closest allies turned into executioners. Her name was cursed. Her soul, shattered. But fate isn’t done with her yet. Awakening years before her fall, in the same royal court that would one day betray her, Ashara is no longer just an Empress-to-be. She’s a player in a divine game. Bound to a mysterious System of Loyalty and Fate, Ashara can now glimpse hidden motives, twist destiny threads, and raise loyalty levels in the very people who once conspired to kill her. Every decision ripples. Every alliance comes at a cost. And the gods? They're watching. With a loyal warhound of a general at her side, a dangerous prince tied to her downfall, and ancient cults whispering of a divine threat… Ashara must reclaim power, rewrite her doom, and awaken the true magic buried in her blood. But when even love is a battlefield—who can she trust? Welcome, dear readers, to the empire of betrayal, divine trials, and thorns that bloom only in blood. Crowned by Thorns: The Cursed Empress Lives Again is my heart project—a story of power reclaimed, of slow-burning love born from ashes, and of a woman who refuses to die quietly in a world determined to cage her. Expect tangled loyalties, unexpected tenderness, and the kind of court politics that bite. Every character has a past. Every betrayal has weight. And Ashara? She’s not the same Empress you once knew. If you love romance woven with fate mechanics, tension between sword and crown, and morally complex leads… you’re home. Add to library. Leave your thoughts. Vote if you enjoy the pain.

After waking up in a world of magic, knighthood, and alchemy, Carlotta finds herself with an unexpected gift: an intelligence system that feeds her daily updates, secrets, rumors, and even hidden dangers unfolding around her. Yesterday’s intel was especially eventful. Mrs. Thea Ashfield, an eccentric alchemist, tossed away an old tool called the Rose Thorn late last night, left forgotten in a trash bin just south of the academy. Meanwhile, a new restaurant at No. 56 Fame Street is quickly becoming the talk of the town, fresh ingredients, great prices, and a steak that people are already calling legendary. Not all food fared as well though: most of the caramel bread in the academy cafeteria turned out to be leftovers from days ago. (Still edible, just… don’t expect miracles.) Teacher Estelle Marlowe pulled an all-nighter preparing the upcoming magic exam. Rumor has it the questions are no joke this time. Then came the serious alerts. One warned of a wanted criminal hiding in the Fame District, with a bounty of thirty thousand Orrae on their head. The other was more personal, Headmistress Viviana Richards’s lost dog was about to be shipped off by dog traders through the port. Thanks to Carlotta’s timely tip-off, the headmistress was able to rescue her beloved pet just in time. ###### Some Tags: Female Protagonist, Card Magic, System, Daily Intelligence, Genius Main Character, Focused Main Character, Academy, Intelligent Main Character #### There's no plans for romance for now.

Nathaniel "Nate" Graves, conocido en ciertos círculos sangrientos como "El Carnicero de Langley" o simplemente "Código 9", no quería volver. Tras ser quemado por la Sección Ómicron, una unidad gubernamental de "soluciones definitivas", su vida era humo barato y recuerdos peores que una resaca permanente. Pero cuando Vincent "El Cuervo" Crowe, un periodista de investigación con más enemigos que contactos (y eso es decir mucho), le suplica protección mientras intentan borrarlo del mapa por el "Expediente Cerberus", Nate sabe que su retiro se ha terminado. "¿Protegerte?", le espeta Nate, encendiendo un H. Upmann con manos que no tiemblan. "Cuervo, lo único que garantizo es que morirás cansado de correr." El Expediente Cerberus es una bomba: prueba la red de corrupción que une al Proyecto Sombras (asesinatos gubernamentales), Thorne Industries (explotación y contratos sucios), el violento Cártel de la Bahía (tráfico de todo lo imaginable) y policías y políticos hasta la médula podridos. Y el nombre de Nate está dentro, vinculado a la misión que lo convirtió en chivo expiario. Para limpiar su nombre (o vengarse con estilo), Nate necesita descifrar el Expediente y mantenerse vivo. Su único aliado estable es Vin, cuyo optimismo se limita a: "Buenas noticias, Carnicero: hoy solo nos quieren matar tres facciones distintas. ¡Progreso!". Pero la complicación tiene nombre, curvas y un juego peligroso: Seraphine Dubois, "El Ángel de Hierro". Esposa del magnate y político corrupto Darius Thorne, y amante de Nate. Su romance es pólvora mojada en whisky barato: pasión, celos tóxicos y la certeza de que ella comparte la cama de Thorne (y otros) para extraer secretos. "¿Te gusta mi vestido nuevo, querido?", le susurra Seraphine después de una cita con un juez comprado. "Es de seda italiana... y costó exactamente los detalles del próximo golpe de tu jefe contra los muelles. Una ganga, ¿no crees?" Nate lo sabe: Seraphine los usa a todos, y su información es un arma de doble filo. "Eres como un Upmann, Seraphine", le dice Nate en un raro momento de claridad. "Elegante, letal y condenadamente adictiva. Y sé que me matarás." Mientras la ciudad se desangra entre la codicia de Thorne, la brutalidad del Cártel de la Bahía liderado por Marta "La Dama" Rostova, la limpieza despiadada de Ómicron dirigida por el frío Director Vance ("El Archivista"), y la corrupción visceral del Comisionado Bell, Nate y Vin se adentran en el fango. Nate aplica su particular sentido del humor en medio del caos: "Disculpen el desorden", masculla después de dejar inconscientes a tres matones del Cártel en un club de striptease que sirve de fachada. "Pero su servicio al cliente era... mortalmente aburrido." Mientras Vin, revisando cámaras de seguridad hackeadas, comenta: "Mira el lado bueno, Código 9. Al menos la contaminación en el puerto oculta el olor a los que tú dejas atrás." La cacería es total. "La Jauría" de Ómicron, los sicarios del Cártel, los esbirros de Thorne y la policía corrupta de Bell quieren sus cabezas. Nate deberá usar cada gramo de su cerebro y cada gota de su brutal eficiencia para descifrar el Expediente, enfrentar la verdad sobre su pasado, decidir si Seraphine es su perdición o su salvación, y tal vez, solo tal vez, hacer justicia en una ciudad donde la corrupción es el único sistema que funciona. "Redención, Cuervo?", pregunta Nate mientras apunta a su siguiente objetivo, el humo de su Upmann dibujando una corona efímera sobre su cabeza. "Aquí lo único que se redime son las balas recicladas. Apunta y reza... o mejor, solo apunta." ¿Sobrevivirá Nate Graves lo suficiente para ver el Expediente Cerberus reventar en la cara de los poderosos? ¿O será solo otro nombre tachado en una lista interminable de bajas, fumando su último cigarrillo en el infierno que ayudó a crear? En esta ciudad, incluso la verdad huele a ceniza y tabaco caro... y tiene muy mal sentido del humor.

Viktor Thorne lived by one rule: NEVER MISS. For thirty-seven years, he was one shot away from evicting his targets from life. This was until his own protégé killed him. Death should have been the end, but a goddess with a twisted sense of humor had other plans. She offered him a second chance in a world where magic existed and monsters roamed. The price? Kill an innocent child named Seraphina Dragonheart, born under a cursed eclipse.This girl will grow up to be her world's greatest heroone. But there was a catch that made even a goddess desperate enough to hire an assassin: Seraphina's heroic power would eventually consume her. The savior would become the destroyer, her unchecked strength threatening to destroy the world. Now reborn as Lore Steinfeld into a loving noble family, Viktor faces his greatest challenge yet. He must spend eighteen years playing the perfect son, learning to wield magic alongside his deadly skills, and earning the trust of those who would be horrified by his true purpose. The clock ticks toward the Twin Moon eclipse when Seraphina will either die by his blade or ascend to godlike power. Lore must kill the Heroine. In a world where the prophesied savior is destined to become its greatest threat, the deadliest assassin ever known must complete his most personal contract. The fate of countless worlds hangs in the balance, and for the first time in his existence, Viktor Thorne isn't sure he can pull the trigger.

I was just a normal guy once;quiet, calm, and focused. But then came the crew: Verde, Josiah, Aurelius,Bertinus, Derrick, Delvin… the so-called “legends” of badness in our school. We skipped classes, broke rules, watched the filthiest things, and chased the wildest girls. I became one of them. I lost myself in the noise. Until one night, something strange happened. A random click… a Bible app downloaded itself to my phone. Since then, something’s been stirring inside me. Every choice I make seems to affect a hidden counter—one that tracks my spirit rank. From C-Rank… can I really climb to SSS-Rank by avoiding sin and temptation? This is my journey. A journey of inner battles, hidden temptations, fake friends, and unexpected divine encounters. I’m Elric Thorns. And this is my path to redemption.

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.

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.

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.

Leon Thorne was the disgrace of his house, overweight, softspoken, and dismissed as a failure before he ever picked up a sword.

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.

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.

The moon hung high over the Blackthorn Mountains, casting silver light across the dense forests that blanketed the realm of Vareth. Atop the highest peak, nestled within stone walls and ancient enchantments, stood Blackthorn Keep—the fortress home of King Alaric the Wolf-Blooded and his strange, silent family. Deep within the eastern wing of the keep, behind iron doors rarely opened, lived the boy known only by whispered names. They called him the Demon Prince. The Curse of Vareth. The Witch’s Son. But his mother called him only Kael. Queen Elenara had always been the lone light in his world, a werewolf of old blood and fierce beauty, who had loved a demon and borne his child in secret.

Demons and humans feared him, cultivators wanted him as a trophy and the immortals saw him as a thorn in their side.
