"Wh-who the hell are you and why are you kissing me!?" With Aranea backing away as she hid her lips with her forearm, the blue-haired man who came out of nowhere approached her, making Aranea stand up abruptly but was suddenly stopped when he knelt down right in front of her. "Where is my phone!? Why did you turn into a human being? Why did you kiss me!?" Ignoring her series of questions, the man held her right hand then he kissed the back of her palm, introducing himself to her—everyone flabbergasted with what he said. "My name is Leonel. I am your loyal familiar that you have summoned, Aranea Griffin." *** Aranea Griffin, together with her twin sister, Elenea Griffin, received an invitation to enroll in a magic school. Their foster mother was ecstatic to receive such news! However, she felt doubt on how Aranea had received the invitation when they knew that she did not possess any magical powers compared to her twin sister having musical, healing powers! That was what most people thought... until Aranea kissed her phone, transforming it into a man who claimed to be her loyal familiar! Maybe Aranea may not be as powerless as they think she is... ~ CLARIFICATION: Despite the book having the word harem and the reverse harem tag, they don't share the same FL like what is seen in other stories. Put it simply: each familiar has their own love interest and each of them have their own back story. [WARNING: Some chapters of the book may contain mature R-18 content.] Cover commissioned to: Chainslock Update Schedule: HIATUS Information about the cover: The cover will change along with the story. With the familiars that Aranea will unlock, the chibi character will no longer be dimmed. ;) So stay tuned, and enjoy the story! Want to further show your support?

Synopsis: The Iron Rebellion: Rise of the Sovereign War. Betrayal. Power. And the will of one man to seize it all. Kael Ashmark was born without a name, an orphan of war found amidst the ashes of Ashmark Hold, a frontier keep left to rot by a fractured Empire. Raised by scavengers, he learned to survive by instinct, his hands honed for a blade long before he learned to read. At sixteen, after witnessing Imperial forces butcher innocent families while their garrison turned a blind eye, Kael made his first kill in retribution, swearing never again to kneel to a crown that failed its people. From the dying highlands of Gravenmarsh, Kael forged the **Iron Rebellion**. With raw conviction, he united outlaws, peasants, and deserters, first striking with brutal ambushes that earned him the whispered title of "Sovereign". His audacious capture of Duskwatch Fortress shattered Imperial complacency. As the Empire's High Crown Orsain Vellgaard and the fanatical Archlector Malgrad declared his rise heresy and prepared for a total "judgment," Kael unveiled a desperate new strategy: not open battle, but a war of attrition. He unleashed a **scorched earth** campaign, turning fertile lands into barren ash, forcing his own loyal villagers into the harsh mountain holds of Ravencair. His Red Veil, led by the zealous and terrifying Seyda, became a haunting force, melting into shadows to stalk Imperial patrols and leave chilling messages of dread. Lady Virelle Velmire, a cunning noble with ambitions as cold as steel, joined his cause, skillfully poisoning Imperial supply lines with doubt and misinformation. Even the loyalties of Imperial spies, like the conflicted Nalen, began to fracture, turning the Empire's own blades against itself. As the gargantuan Imperial Legions lumber north, plagued by hunger, sickness, and mounting paranoia, Kael’s defiance grinds them to a desperate crawl. He watches them succumb to the brutal choices he forces upon them, turning the very machine designed to crush him into a monstrous reflection of its own cruelty. But as the war intensifies, and his people endure untold suffering in the mountain holds, Kael must confront the one thing he never wanted: what comes after victory? Will he become the tyrant he fought against, or will he forge something new—an empire not born of bloodlines, but of belief? *The Iron Rebellion: Rise of the Sovereign* is a raw, uncompromising tale of brutal strategy, shifting power, and the profound cost of defiance in a world ruled by bloodlines and betrayal. Discover one man’s relentless ascent from nothing, until the kingdoms whispered his name in fear.
