The one who expels and curses evil spirits is known as a Forbidden Master... Cen Dongsheng was reborn. His soul came from the future in eight years, an era where ghosts and malevolent gods roamed, and individuals known as 'prohibition master' ruled over modern society. Now, however, the world was still on the cusp of a night filled with great upheaval and rising dark undercurrents. But he was a cautious and prudent fellow, aware of his own mediocrity. The first thing he thought of after being reborn was to find a powerful patron, and he pursued this endeavor thoroughly and successfully. Except for one issue. His powerful patrons all seemed to be out of their minds, as they... would fight among themselves. 'Stop fighting! If you've got to fight, take it outside, okay? Don't tear down the house!' 'Forget it, just come back... Destroying the house is still better than destroying the world...'

Being pulled through a portal hidden in the bathroom at work? Check. Being mistaken for a prince? Check. Accidentally (but not really) summoning a demon king? Check. Stumbling headfirst into a world of magic, political intrigue, and strange dreams? Check, check, check. When he went to work a few days before his twentieth birthday, Perry never expected to be pulled through a portal into an impossible world where magic, demons, and gods are real. He also didn't expect to be kidnapped by a blood cult. And then have to battle undead warriors. And then to be kidnapped. Again. It's been a long few days for Perry, but resting is not in his future plans. Especially after he ends up unknowingly summoning a demon king who insists on being his bodyguard. For some reason. Seriously, what does a guy have to do to get some peace and quiet around here? _____________________________________________________________ This book is filled with shenanigans and questionable choices that lead to very predictable consequences (that are quietly ignored by our main characters). It's meant to be fun and light with some serious moments sprinkled in between, and with a slow burn romance between a somewhat clueless prince and an overprotective demon king. Hope you enjoy it!

Kael, a guilt-ridden blacksmith, wields a hammer that burns with the soul of a traitorous knight. Lira, an outcast herbalist, dreams of a goddess’s death—and wakes with bloody hands. Tyrus, a thief with no past, carries daggers that devour his memories to feed a love he can’t recall. When Voidspawn—shapeshifting demons born from a murdered goddess’s rage—swarm their homes, the trio is branded as heretics and forced to flee. Their only hope lies in the Celestial Anchors, ancient relics said to halt the apocalyptic Dusk Eclipse. But as they uncover the truth, they realize the anchors are not tools of salvation… but locks. A thousand years ago, the goddess Nyrisia sacrificed herself to trap a cosmic parasite that feeds on mortal suffering. The “curse” she left behind was a shield, not a punishment. Now, her reincarnation (Lira) is unraveling, Tyrus’s lost love is the parasite’s avatar, and Kael’s hammer demands he kill the only friend he’s ever had. As kingdoms burn and allies betray them, the three must choose: reignite Nyrisia’s war and doom the world to eternal hunger, or shatter the anchors and unleash the parasite’s full wrath. But the greatest threat lies within—Lira’s goddess is waking, Tyrus’s dagger is a key, and Kael’s hammer remembers how to kill a god.

In the city of New Haven, where the streets were ruled by gangs and violence was a way of life, a young man named Axel rose to become a legend. Axel was just a teenager when he was forced to join the notorious gang, the "Red Vipers." He was small and scrawny, but he had a fierce determination to survive and thrive in the harsh world of gang life. As Axel navigated the treacherous landscape of gang politics and violence, he discovered that he had a natural talent for leadership. He quickly rose through the ranks of the Red Vipers, earning the respect and admiration of his fellow gang members. But Axel's success came at a cost. He was constantly at odds with the rival gang, the "Black Dragons," and their ruthless leader, Victor. The two gangs had been at war for years, and Axel's rise to power only fueled the flames of conflict. As the violence between the Red Vipers and the Black Dragons escalated, Axel found himself at the center of a maelstrom of gang warfare. He was forced to fight for his life on a daily basis, using his wits and his fists to survive. But despite the dangers and challenges of his life, Axel refused to give up. He was driven by a fierce determination to succeed, and to make a name for himself in the world of gang life. And then, one day, everything changed. Axel received a mysterious message from an unknown sender, offering him a chance to join a secret organization known only as "The Syndicate."

As Axel weighed his options, he was confronted by Victor, the leader of the Black Dragons. Victor was determined to destroy Axel and the Red Vipers, and he would stop at nothing to achieve his goal. Axel knew that he had to make a decision, and fast. He could join The Syndicate and gain the power and protection he needed to take down Victor and the Black Dragons, or he could refuse the offer and risk everything to maintain his independence. In the end, Axel made the decision that would change his life forever. He accepted the offer from The Syndicate, and joined their ranks. As a member of The Syndicate, Axel was given access to resources and power that he never could have imagined. He was trained in the art of combat and strategy, and he was given the tools he needed to take down his enemies. But as Axel rose through the ranks of The Syndicate, he began to realize that there was more to the organization than met the eye. He discovered that The Syndicate was involved in a complex web of corruption and deceit, and that their true goals were far more sinister than he had ever imagined. Axel was torn between his loyalty to The Syndicate and his growing sense of unease. He knew that he had to make a choice, but he was unsure of what the consequences would be. 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. In the end, Axel's journey would take him to the very top of The Syndicate, where he would face off against the organization's ruthless leader. It would be a battle for control, and only one person could emerge victorious. Would Axel be able to overcome the odds and achieve his goals, or would he become the latest casualty of The Syndicate's deadly game? Only time would tell.
