Empire Of The Undergrowth

Legacy buried. Power stolen. Now begins the rise of a new kind of king. Once part of a forgotten aristocratic bloodline, Arthur Ashford has spent his life in the shadows — hiding behind a false name, watching the world from the outskirts of high society. But in the heart of New York’s financial world, he’s become something else: the youngest rising star on Wall Street, a quiet genius with ambition burning behind every calculated move. Just as he's about to make his mark, a mysterious digital system awakens — showing him not only his true potential but a path to build something far greater than titles or thrones. With every decision, deal, and dollar, Arthur begins crafting an empire rooted not in royalty… but in absolute control. The age of crowns is over. Now begins the era of capital.

A billionaire. A contract. A love that defied every condition. Lila Harper never meant to sign her life away — but when Dominic Blackwell, a ruthless billionaire with a cold heart and a hotter empire, offers a one-year marriage contract to protect her struggling family, she does the unthinkable. She marries him. Dominic doesn’t believe in love. Control, yes. Power, always. But feelings? Dangerous. That’s why their marriage is just business — until the lines blur. Until jealousy burns, touches linger, and late-night arguments turn into something much harder to ignore. But when Lila discovers Dominic was hiding the very secret that shattered her parents’ world, everything breaks. And as the contract ticks down, Lila must decide: endure two more months of pretending… or walk away from the man who’s already broken her heart.

Born as the fourth prince of a decaying empire, Wu An was raised to be brilliant, polite—and irrelevant. Cast aside by his brothers and ignored by his warlord father, he wore his mask well: the quiet scholar, the forgotten son. But when a strange light drags him from his modern world into a twisted imperial court filled with ancient rites and fractured thrones, he awakens in a body shaped for power—and vengeance. To survive the throne room is to master the battlefield. To win the war is to become a monster. When war erupts in the north, Wu An unleashes a brutal campaign of subterfuge and slaughter. But beneath every victory lies something far more terrifying—visions of monks with bone-bead rosaries, scriptures written in blood, and gods that do not belong to this world. At the heart of the empire is a secret buried in ink and ash, and behind every smile in the capital, a knife waits.

Lucian Crowe was just a boring salesman, living a tragic, uneventful life where nothing ever went right. On what would become his final day, he and his family are killed during a brutal home invasion. But death isn’t the end. Lucian wakes up in his younger body, reborn with the memories of his past life, and soon finds himself standing before a man who offers him a deal with the devil. It marks the beginning of a life he never imagined, a path of crime, sin, and what some might even call adventure. With nothing but the drive to be better and protect his family, Lucian sets out to build the strongest empire in a world where other criminals have made their own deals with devils and demons.

Betrayed. Exiled. Forgotten. On the eve of his coronation, Prince Alistair Varian Dragos lost everything. His father, the High King, was murdered. His kingdom, once prosperous, fell into the hands of traitors. His people, whom he once swore to protect, were forced into slavery. And he? He was left to rot in a frozen wasteland, buried beneath the corpses of his fallen knights. But fate is not so kind as to let him die. With nothing but his will and the fire of vengeance in his heart, Alistair rises once more. He does not seek mere revenge. He does not dream of reclaiming his lost throne. He will build something greater. A kingdom forged not in the lies of nobles, but in the blood of his enemies. A realm where the strong rise and the weak perish. An empire that will not fall to treachery. They stole his birthright. Now, he will take the world. The game of thrones is over. The age of empires begins.

SYNOPSIS: B Empire In a fractured world once divided by race, power, and pride, four legendary kings united the realms of East, West, North, and South to forge a singular, formidable alliance: the B Empire—a symbol of hope, equilibrium, and shared destiny. A century has transpired since that founding. The ethereal capital of La Mer stands above the Central Land, powered by magitek and safeguarded by ancient seals. Humans, beastkin, vampires, elementals, and hybrids coexist in a precarious equilibrium. However, peace is an ephemeral concept. Beneath the surface, dormant adversaries resurface, forgotten monsters emerge, and new heirs grapple with their place in a world still recovering from conflict. From the desolate outskirts of Asya to the mystical forests of the West, from the icy northern gates to the submerged temples of the South, a new generation ascends—each bearing secrets, legacies, or vengeance. Among them are: * Solla, an orphan from the East possessing a latent gift and a fervent spirit. * Doniglao and Ariane, centaurian siblings torn between tradition and rebellion. * Van Staden, a fugitive prince seeking liberation from royal constraints. *Nate, a tiger warriors aspiring to ensure his better future. *Suthra, a Riverlanders seeking to escape a tragic fate. * Eula, a rogue vampire-hunter ambivalent between blood and purpose. * And Mr. Wils, an enigmatic entity privy to excessive knowledge and susceptible to excessive mistrust. As the foundations of the old world begin to crumble, these unlikely heroes must make a pivotal decision: Will they uphold the legacy of the Four Kings… or dismantle it and construct a new Empire in its stead?

[Warning: r18, smut, MC does morally questionable things] [Disclaimer: The Gods and Goddesses in the story's world have absolutely no relation to any Gods that are worshipped in the real world. The purpose they serve is also entirely different.] ~Even if you're someone who typically doesn't enjoy works with smut, I request you to give this novel a chance (provided you're 18 or older of course). It would be awesome if you could at least read Volume 1 before deciding whether or not this is your cup of tea.~ This is an action + kingdom-building story where the MC and his kingdom (Realm) are metaphorically powered by his lustful acts. The story begins with Hiro's (the MC) transmigration into a magical world. At first glance, this "World" might look quite similar to many other fantasy worlds that you've come across on your reading adventures. Status screens, levels, classes, gods, kingdoms, elves - all that good stuff. But it will soon become clear that this World has its own "Rules". These (mostly) game-like Rules will bring out unique character interactions. They will be what differentiates the World in my story from other similar fantasy worlds. Now about the characters - specifically the main character. The MC (Hiro) will be thrust into the role of Ruler in the new World right off the bat. He starts with a bottom-tier, barebones realm and makes his way to the top. I'm going to say this right away - Hiro is a deeply flawed character at the start. Yes he might be overpowered and good at getting things he wants, but that does not make him flawless. Hiro has glaring emotional flaws at the beginning. He is intelligent but not in the emotional sense. He is lustful but not truly loving. He is apathetic towards death (both of himself and of others). The women who surround him will also have their own problems, both internal and external. As the story progresses, it won't just be the MC and his realm growing in power. Hiro and his harem will also mature emotionally. Hiro's character growth will be a slow, grueling burn. It isn't going to be a smooth straight line from point A to point B. But when it finally does happen, it will be worth it. That's all from me, your author. I hope you enjoy the ride. P.S - Power stones, golden tickets, gifts, adding this to library, reviews, comments, paragraph comments - all these things help immensely and are greatly appreciated. Thanks and Enjoy! :)

Lorenzo Atlas is a man who built an empire with iron fists and ice in his veins. At the top of L&A Group of Companies, he’s a ruthless American tycoon feared in boardrooms and worshipped in bedrooms — until dawn comes and another nameless lover disappears from his sheets. For Lorenzo, love is weakness, trust is poison, and softness is a luxury his brutal past never allowed. Then comes Vanic Rov — twenty-one, bright-eyed, fresh out of college with dreams bigger than his fragile paycheck. As Lorenzo’s newly hired secretary, Vanic steps into a world of glass walls and sharp tongues, where one mistake can shatter everything. He’s innocent. Unpolished. Easy prey for a king like Lorenzo. But the more Lorenzo tries to break him — with cruel words, icy indifference, and humiliations that cut to the bone — the more Vanic refuses to shatter. Between the cold hallways and scorching stolen moments, sparks ignite where they shouldn’t: in hushed offices, in reckless confessions, in the secrets Lorenzo swore he’d bury forever. When jealousy, scandal, and the ghost of an ex-lover threaten to ruin what fragile trust they’ve built, Vanic must decide if loving a man like Lorenzo is worth his innocence — and Lorenzo must face the only truth he’s ever feared: that love might be the only empire worth surrendering for. From ruthless office games to moonlit honeymoons in Paris, from raw heartbreak to a family built in unexpected ways — Beneath the Atlas Empire is an erotic, emotional romance about cold kings, soft crowns, and the love that makes them human again.

In the turbulent years before the rise of the Swiss Confederation, the lands of the Alps are a fractured realm of warring nobles, ambitious warlords, and foreign powers seeking control over the vital mountain passes. Among these, a young minor lord, Johann von Habsburg-Kyburg, awakens one fateful morning to find himself in the body of his sixteen-year-old self, inheriting a small but strategically crucial domain deep in the Alps. Armed with knowledge beyond his years and the burden of his noble bloodline, Johann must navigate the treacherous politics of the Holy Roman Empire, rally war-hardened mercenaries to his cause, and forge alliances with mountain clans and disillusioned knights.

Forty-seven hours of straight gaming, six energy drinks, and one massive heart attack later, I'm living inside my favorite game as the final boss everyone loves to hate. The good news? Unlimited power, incredible looks, and access to the kind of women who make porn stars look like nuns. I'm talking about curves that defy physics, tits that could smother a man to death, and asses that inspire religious experiences. The bad news? Everyone expects me to be a manipulative bastard who treats people like fuck toys and destroys planets for fun. The worse news? I'm discovering I'm really fucking good at both. My name used to be irrelevant. Now I'm Lord Raven Vex'thara, Crown Prince of the Dominion Empire, and apparently hung like a space horse with the kind of face that makes women drop their panties and men question their sexuality. Death, it turns out, was the best thing that ever happened to my sex life.
