Mongolian Recurve Bow

Kael Westbridge was born into privilege, power, and promises, until it all crumbled in a single night. Disowned, betrayed, and cast out alongside his mother, Kael vanished into the shadows of a city that once bowed at his name, but pain has a way of awakening things buried deep. Now a pendant pulses against his chest, shadowed figures whisper from beyond the veil, and a mysterious girl who looks exactly like the love who left him appears in cloaks and riddles. As Kael claws his way back from disgrace, he finds himself caught between two worlds: the brutal reality of survival, and a hidden realm where destiny, ancient bloodlines, and a forgotten war are calling his name. Somewhere between betrayal and magic, Kael must uncover the truth: Who is he really? And why is something... watching him?

read the first 10 chapter, and you will like it!!! In a world where every 18-year-old is granted a noble title and a domain, Reed was never meant to rule. Born in the slums, he survived by stealing, killing, and doing whatever it took to stay alive. The world despised him, and he despised it back. But when the Day of Lords arrived, fate played its cruelest trick yet. Goblin Lord. The weakest possible domain. The most pathetic summons. A rank that was practically a death sentence. But Reed doesn’t care. He never played by the rules before, and he won’t start now. Given absolute authority over his first Hero—a deadly and completely loyal goblin woman named Shia—he embraces his title with ruthless efficiency. There are no rules he won’t break, no enemies he won’t kill, and no limits to how far he’ll rise. If the world thinks it can laugh at him, it’s in for a nightmare. Because the Lord of the Forsaken doesn’t bow to fate. He breaks it.

Three centuries ago, reality tore open and parasites from another dimension poured through. They didn't just kill humanity—they consumed it, wearing human faces while spreading like a plague through every major city. The strong became Originals, commanding lesser generations in a hierarchy of monsters that humanity calls Bloodsuckers. Now they own everything. Governments, corporations, entire cities bow to creatures that should be myths. That's when the Shadowguard was born. They were humanity's elite hunters equiped with the skills and tools to put an end to the bloodsuckers. But they became nothing more than political tools, protecting the wealthy while the poor got harvested by Bloodsuckers like cattle. Kaine Cross was one of the best hunters alive until he walked away from the corruption. He decided to become a solo hunter. Unfortunately, going freelance got him killed by the very monsters he'd spent twelve years learning to destroy. Death was supposed to be final. Instead, Kaine awakens in an ancient tomb with a system that makes him something the bloodsuckers have never faced—a predator that grows stronger with every kill, commands armies of the dead, and turns their own kind against them. Every kill feeds his strength. Every corpse becomes a loyal soldier. Every battle expands his growing army until even vampire lords will bow or join his ranks permanently. [LEGENDARY WEAPON ACQUIRED: SOUL END - THE DEATH REAPER] [SKILL UNLOCKED: CORPSE DOMINATION - UNLIMITED ARMY CAPACITY] [MORTAL ESSENCE SYSTEM: ABSORB POWER FROM EVERY KILL] Zombies. Liches. Reapers. Wights. Revenants. And even monster girls; beautiful, deadly creatures once enslaved by the vampires now serve at his side, bound by Kaine’s will or by lust, vengeance, and freedom. He's not a hero. Heroes save people. Kaine Cross collects enemies and turns them into allies, whether they want to be or not. The vampires ruled through fear for centuries. Now they're about to learn what happens when death itself holds a grudge. Join Kaine as he builds an unstoppable army of undead and monster girls, and leads them on a path of blood-soaked revenge. Build an army. Claim your revenge. Rule the dead.

He had no spiritual root. No system. No future. On the day Ashen Kai was supposed to awaken his path to immortality, Heaven rejected him. But instead of crumbling... He awakened something older than cultivation itself: > A Codex that lets him rewrite reality. Flames bowed. Time bent. Laws twisted. And when Kai began to rewrite the world— fragments of a forgotten self started returning. They were not systems. They were Divine Feminine Interfaces he once sealed away. SYNTARA, LUCIDA, NUNAVA… Nine in total. Each carrying a piece of the truth he buried. As enemies rise from heaven, sect, and memory itself— Kai must reclaim the fragments of the body he once shattered, and finish what he started before time began. Because this isn't just a cultivation story. > It's the return of the one who rewrote Heaven first.

I was supposed to kill him. Instead, I stripped for him. Dante Moretti—feared mafia king, owner of Inferno, and the devil they all bow to—was my target. Cold, brutal, untouchable. I was the Bratva's weapon. Sent undercover to infiltrate his empire, seduce him, and bring him down from the inside. But I didn’t expect him to watch me like he owned me. Didn’t expect him to tie a diamond collar around my neck. And I definitely didn’t expect to fall into his bed… and deeper into his world. Now, I'm no longer just a spy. I'm his obsession. His sinner in lace. And if the truth comes out, he’ll do one of two things: Kill me. Or keep me forever. But the deeper I fall, the more I wonder— Am I still undercover? Or have I become the devil’s favorite sin?

Elliot Grey is a man who's forgotten how to live. He doesn't know his own age, skips lunch to save money for a wife who no longer loves him, and comes home each day to silence.

"When the old gods are forgotten, they do not die—they wait." In the year 1025, the Viking Age wanes. Iceland bows to Christ. The Althing governs by law. And the gods of old fade to whispers. But in the far Westfjords, something stirs. Vetrúlfr Úllarson, a former Varangian captain and exile, returns from the East with foreign gold, forgotten warcraft, and a hunger no man can name. He comes not in peace, but to raise Ullrsfjörðr from ash and ice; building walls, carving runes, and waging war on behalf of a dying faith. From Reykjavík to Aachen, rumors spread: a ghost walks the North once more. Some call him the son of Ullr. Others, a wolf-cloaked demon.

He exhaled the smoke from his cigarette as if releasing his soul. The ember dimmed, but the fire in his chest roared louder. “How did I become this chained to you?” he murmured, his voice hollow. “Like shackles on my heart… How does one leave when they were imprisoned in someone’s love? How did I, so cautious and aware, fall victim to you? And how does one heal from wounds carved by the one they trusted?” There was no reply. Just the silence of her gaze, fleeing from his. “Tell me,” he whispered, “how do I rip you from my chest when you’ve rooted yourself like a rose among thorns—cutting me every time I try to let go? I bleed when I forget you, I break when I hate you. What kind of curse is this? And now you ask for forgiveness… Tell me—will forgiveness teach me how to forget?” She blinked away tears, her voice trembling like a confession: “I hurt you… and I hurt myself too. Your wounds burn inside me like fire. Let me heal them. Let me give you my soul, fill your heart with a love that honors you, that redeems me. I’ll erase the pain with tenderness, heal you with my beauty, my cunning… I killed you, I know. Let me bring you back to life.” He crushed the cigarette between his fingers. Harshly, he barked: “Then bow.” She bowed, voice soft, eyes lowered. “And here I am, my love… I bow before your heart, in surrender. Will you forgive me now?” A wicked smile curled on his lips. “Stab my heart,” he said coldly. “Ask for forgiveness. Wish for death. Because my forgiveness… is fire. And in it, you shall burn.”

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.
