Destroyed City Silhouette

Ged, a ruthless drug lord, dreams of freedom.  In this world, economies are fueled by mass, and magic isn't conjured with spells—it’s forged through muscle. Here, the ruling authorities regulate the physiques of its people in the guise of peace and equality. But Ged refuses to be shackled. Descending into the underground, he pushes his body beyond human limits with the dangerous drug Blue Water, funding his transformation through crime and violence. Yet with every surge in strength, he uncovers more of the truth behind the world around him—and what he discovers shakes him to the core. The restrictions weren’t meant to weaken him. They were meant to protect him from something far worse. Something unseen lurks within reality itself—an incomplete force, searching for the final missing piece for it to become whole. And Ged has exactly what it needs. Now hunted by unseen enemies, trapped in a war beyond comprehension, Ged faces an impossible choice: submit or annihilate everything. But Ged kneels to no one. "If freedom demands annihilation, so be it." "I’ll rip reality apart with my own two hands." *** What to Expect: - Muscle is Magic – Power isn’t measured in mana or qi—it’s measured in kilograms. Expect brutal, cultivation-inspired workouts as the MC pushes his mass far beyond mortal limits. - A Drug Lord Turned Anti-Hero – Ged is cunning, ruthless, and dangerously close to villainy. In a world of treacherous alliances and relentless enemies, expect dark humor, high-stakes action, and power plays. - Reality is a Lie – The bigger you grow, the more you see. And when you surpass the limits of existence itself... you might not like what’s on the other side. - A Dystopian '90s-Inspired Fantasy Noir – Landline phones, fantasy cars, drug kingpins, corrupt police, and low-tech grit. - A Fusion of Great Works – If Scarface, I Shall Seal the Heavens, and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure had a mind-bending, reality-shattering love child this would be it. *** Ged isn’t just fighting to overthrow an oppressive system. He’s fighting to destroy reality itself. ->Read Chapter 1 Now!

Synopsis for The Lost City Eldarath In a world where magic and war intertwine, young scholar Alaric stumbles upon a forbidden book that whispers of Eldarath, a lost city brimming with ancient power. Ignoring the warnings of Seraphine, a mysterious witch who claims Eldarath is cursed, Alaric embarks on a perilous journey across Europe to uncover the city’s secrets. His quest draws the attention of the Guild of Shadows, a powerful order of wizards who have long sought Eldarath’s magic to tip the balance in the ongoing war between the supernatural and the mundane. But as Alaric pieces together the fragments of an ancient map, he realizes he is not the only one seeking Eldarath. Dark forces—rogue witches, treacherous warlocks, and a forgotten prophecy—loom over him at every turn. As Alaric and Seraphine navigate cursed forests, enchanted ruins, and betrayals that threaten to tear them apart, they uncover a devastating truth: Eldarath’s power is both salvation and ruin, capable of reshaping the world—or ending it. When the city’s long-slumbering inhabitants awaken, alliances are shattered, and a final battle for Eldarath’s fate begins. Torn between destiny and free will, Alaric must make an impossible choice. Will he claim Eldarath’s legacy and wield its magic, or will he sacrifice everything to prevent the chaos it could unleash? A tale of power, betrayal, and fate, The Lost City Eldarath is an epic fantasy where the line between hero and villain blurs, and the cost of magic is higher than anyone ever imagined.

[Warning: This book contains Strong Language and Mature Content] On her eighteenth birthday, Ravenna felt the weight of exile as she was outlawed from her home because she could not shift to a werewolf, a mark of shame in their world that revered power. Away from all the ridicules and hate, she had at least a more peaceful life, until a beautiful storm knocked at her door. Deceived by its enchanting waves, Ravenna welcomed it with open arms until she was swept away into the deepest depth of the ocean of love. Being a daughter of an alpha, that was not supposed to happen even if she was not living in the pack anymore. Falling in love with the king of darkness. Alaric! He is the epitome of danger. But then, she turned his life upside down. From a heartless man to an obsessive lover. All he wished was to keep her with him. Even if it meant chaining her to himself. Whether what he felt was infatuation, desire or... he just would never ever let her go. Let no man or beast separate him from what he had claimed and marked; else they would face his unceasing wrath. **************** "Am of no use to you, why do you still insist on keeping me?" She just wanted to hear him say it. That he loved her as much as she did. She was becoming more desperate as days went by, maybe more than desperate to the extent of destroying herself in this love. Alaric paused and kept his laptop aside. He held her hand and brought her in front of him before pulling her to his lap. Silently, he sniffed her neck and licked it, then replied, "Because I want to." He continued his actions, and his hands were already moving under her dress caressing her thighs. Ravenna took a deep breath trying to stop herself from diving into pleasure as always. "Will you ever say it?" Her voice came out as a low yearning plead and with his advanced hearing ability, Alaric did not miss a word. "Say what?" His hand reached her pant ready to tear it apart. "That you love me." Her words made him pause abruptly before looking at her. As usual, his eyes were blank with no hint of emotions making Ravenna feel like she was just fooling herself. For how long could she endure this? "Do I?" He asked not tearing his gaze away from her eyes that were already tearing up.

After being reincarnated in a world of Gods, Demons, and Great Emperors, Wang Wei embarks on a journey to bear Heaven Mandate, proves the Dao, and proclaims himself a Great Emperor--a Supreme Being that overlooked Myriad World and Races. However, his Dao involves despising fate and its encompassing glory. So what awaits our protagonist on his journey full of vicissitudes to defy and even control fate?

Better Synopsys: After an unknown cosmic accident that enveloped the Earth, Wang Wei was reincarnated into a magical world of spiritual cultivation.

More Importantly, Great Emperors--Supreme Beings that stand above everyone and everything, even life and death itself. Despite being born in one of the most powerful sects in the world, Wang Wei was placed under tremendous pressure when so many expectations were placed on him by his sect due to the fact they have not cultivated a Great Emperor for countless millennia--an act which threatened the fundamental status of his family, friends, and sect. On top of that, Wang Wei was not one of the chosen few of this world that was granted special gifts by Heaven, thus further aggravating his circumstances. However, he did not retreat in the face of adversity. With the mindset that “If Heaven does not give me, I shall take it for myself”, Wang Wei begins to plan his rise to the top with a brilliant tactical mind and the help of his mysterious soul so that one day he will become a Great Emperor that not only control his fate but the fate of all lives in existence.
