"He married her for politics. His brother used her for power. But no one expected her to learn the rules of the game." Lady Irene Kathleen Bloodrose was raised to be the perfect bride — gentle, obedient, graceful. When she is chosen to marry Levon Edgar Ashwick, the younger brother of the Duke, it feels like fate. He’s everything she dreamed of: kind, understanding, soft-spoken. With him, she is seen. Heard. Loved. At least… she was. Now, he comes home late. He hasn’t touched her in days. He doesn’t speak to her— But he loves her. He does. He must. Everyone says the Ashwicks are cruel men. Twisted. Power-hungry. But they don’t know Levon. They don’t see what she sees. They’re wrong. Aren’t they? Maybe it’s Duke Bernard’s influence. Maybe it’s stress. Maybe it’s her. No. No, he loves her. He just hasn’t said it lately. He’s just busy. He’s just tired. He’s just forgotten she’s alive. The Ashwick estate is filled with secrets — locked doors, quiet conversations, and eyes that watch her too closely. And somewhere between love and madness, Irene will learn the truth: She was never chosen. She was planted. But if the Ashwicks think she’ll stay a pawn, they’ve misunderstood her far more than she misunderstood them. "Who Will Come Out With The Crown?"

What is a monster? Humans normally define monsters as fear inducing, bloodthirsty creatures bent on destruction. But to Noah? Monsters were the humans who despised him without justifications, who taught him to loathe himself just for being human. Life was hell, a hell that was surrounded by “monsters”. Until one day, the world changed. Humans were suddenly graced by a Divine voice, one that warned of their extinction, but also promised them power. They were bestowed with a system, a system to aid their fight for survival, to survive against monsters. And when humanity was given that chance to survive, Noah chose to walk a path of a tamer, to befriend the very monsters that were threatening the humans' extinction. As he tamed the monsters, learned from them, bonded with them, shedding the last remnants of what it was to be human. Noah began to wonder, is it wrong to be considered a monster? Feedback is definitely appreciated, good or bad, let's make the story good together. I would like to note that the main character isn’t completely ruthless, he's more chaotically neutral. There’s a lot of good stories out there with ruthless, bloodthirsty, cold hearted main characters so if that’s what your interest in then I’m sorry to disappoint you.

And she is the only thing in the forest still learning how to hope. Poetic dark fantasy. Deep system lore. Slow-burn transformation. Maybe romance, IDK. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Watch her grow—not into a warrior, but into a sanctuary. --------------------------------------------------- A Note From the Author: Hi there! This is my very first book being shared with the world, and… I’m a little nervous. Please be gentle with me—I have a fragile glass heart. (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ This story is the result of months (okay, years) of dreaming, writing, rewriting, and researching things like ancient trees, fantasy ecosystems, and mythological creatures I can barely pronounce. It's a deeply personal world, and I'm incredibly excited—and terrified—to finally show it to someone other than my dog. Bloom: Becoming the World Tree is a high fantasy story rooted in both Western and Eastern mythology but reimagined through my own voice. Expect themes of growth, loneliness, healing, survival, and sanctuary. There are echoes of elves, dwarves, beastkin, spirits, and creatures who have been forgotten by the rest of the world… just like the little Seedling who wakes up alone in the dark. I’ve poured my heart (and probably a few brain cells) into building this world carefully. That said—I'm still human! If anything feels off, if I missed something, or if you think a detail could be more accurate, please let me know. I truly want to improve and do right by the story, and by you, the reader. Thank you for taking a chance on my fragile little Seedling. I hope she grows into something you’ll come to love, too. — Kismet (シ_ _)シ

In a cosmos woven through the Aetherium Prime—the foundational plane where thought, will, and energy coalesce—existence is governed by ancient laws and the silent will of The One Above All. Yet, this delicate balance is threatened by a profound schism, born from a primordial act of defiance and a relentless pursuit of transcendence. At the heart of this unfolding saga are Lognos (L2) and Eli Ragual (R2), twin brothers of unprecedented potential. Born from the forbidden union of Miriam Soter, a celestial-blooded Saintess, and Dr. Azrael, a heretical scientist-mystic, their very existence is an act of rebellion against cosmic predestination. L2, the Cosmic Warrior and Ophiuchus Ascendant, embodies intellect and strategy, destined to master the systems of reality. R2, the Spiral Messiah, is a powerhouse of raw strength and transcendence, whose path involves "becoming the storm." Their bond is profound, yet fraught with L2's desperate drive to overcome R2's inherent physical fragility, a struggle that will ultimately lead to their destined fusion into LRD, a universal stabilizer. Their journey unfolds against a backdrop of cosmic warfare, driven by two opposing, yet equally dangerous, legacies: * Cain's Lineage: The progenitor of the Vampire Lords, Cain defied the Creator, his ambition to transcend his curse leading to the birth of his three distinct bloodlines: the Infernal (seeking demonic godhood), the Human (aiming for perfected immortality), and the Beastkin (forging ultimate war forms). Cain envisions the fusion of these lineages into a single, perfect being, asserting dominion over the mortal realms and beyond. * Babel's Legacy: Once the divine Abel, corrupted by Cain's dark arts, Necros Babel became the first Undying Necromancer. His ultimate goal is not vengeance, but a calculated act of cosmic restoration: to erase Kain. Babel believes Kain's continued existence has become a "detriment" to the natural order, and he seeks to unmake the very rules of existence through Eldritch Vampirism—a power that devours concepts and reality itself—to achieve this precise, minimal-damage erasure. As L2 and R2 cultivate their Inner Worlds, forging personal realities that threaten to surpass the Aetheric Plane itself, they ignite a "war between those who govern existence and those who dare to create it." Established deities, categorized by their elemental and conceptual affinities (from Ra and Zeus to Kali and Kael), grapple with the emergence of these new forms of divinity. The Nine Singularities—fundamental truths about Being, Choice, Death, and Godhood—serve as philosophical and existential trials that all ascending entities must confront. The fate of the cosmos hangs in the balance. Will L2 and R2 succumb to the temptations of Cain's raw power or Babel's nihilistic erasure? Or will they forge a new path, navigating the treacherous Wells of Resonance and confronting the ancient Apex Beasts, to achieve a Divine Unity that rebuilds existence rather than destroying it? Their choice will not only redefine their own destiny but reshape the very fabric of reality, determining whether the universe descends into eternal conflict or ascends to a new, transcendent order.

“Mine. You” his crooked words said in a deep voice, carrying a hint of evilness echoed through the silent hall. As he gazes at the petite woman he trapped in his arms, he saw her beautiful dark whirlpool eyes flashing in extreme brilliance. Her dark eyes flickered, instead of being scared, she stared right into his dangerous bloody red eyes, chuckling lowly while raising her brows in provocation, “Can you make me though?” Just then, another person---being, appeared behind her, grabbing her arms with gentle force but firm, not giving her a time to resist, as his heavenly voice fell and entered her ears. "He can't. But I can though," his gentle words filled with intentions echoed, making Chaira narrow her eyes dangerously as Hades growled in jealousy. _ Chaira Traus spent her first life being bullied by her classmates, used as a cash cow by her friends, abused by her family and in-laws and treated as a plaything by her fiancée. She was used and exploited for all her use before she was left with nothing. Going back home while walking after being dropped off in the middle of the road by her fiancé, her unlucky first life ended with the bus running frantically towards her. Being reborn again means she cannot live in the same sequence as in her first life, focusing herself to study hard in everything to slap everyone faces with grace, she found herself studying medicine, hacking, business, martial arts calligraphy and even was able to enter the underground business without any hesitation, as long as she can study it, she studied and entered it. Mastering those things in 10 years, she was about to take things to the next level when she found out… she died, again, from over studying things. At the age of 45, she was without a husband and any heir to take on her mantle. Before she was to grieve her ridiculous death that happened for the second time, she was reborn for the third time. This time, Chaira vowed that she will not die because of ridiculous events. For this life, she will do the things that she can’t do on her past two life, she will have an heir, countless heir that would take on the skills she studied hard on her second life, as for husband? Who needs that. Adopted babies to train are more desirable than having a kid with a possible cheating husband. But first, she got to solve this family first that were trying to marry her to a playboy.

The arduous journey filled with blood and tears of one of the most pitiful and blameworthy people. "In the end, only hatred is the constant thing in this world"

In a final twist, Silas learns that his father’s legacy was a lie, and the throne was never meant for him. Faced with betrayal from all sides, Silas chooses to rewrite his destiny.
