Shadowed Thrones

On the Orandia Continent, strong individuals and geniuses have never been absent. Whether it is the noble Elves, the resilient Giants, or the majestic Dragons, the legacies and families of all races stand firm on this ancient land. The civilization of the continent has endured the test of time, with its glorious history interwoven with bloodshed. However, this continent is not a peaceful paradise. The dark tides of the Demon Race surge forth, and the magical beasts ravage the homes of humans, Elves, and other races, slowly closing in on the heart of every civilization. Disaster is inevitable, yet in this time of crisis, internal strife between factions and empires still persists. In this turbulent land, who will shoulder the responsibility of changing the future? Who will reclaim control over the collapsing destiny? The wheels of fate begin to turn, and a boy who starts from humble beginnings is gradually advancing toward the pinnacle that will change the Orandia Continent. His name is Roy. A boy of ordinary origins, a child with nothing to his name, yet due to the favor of destiny and his unwavering determination, he paves a path that belongs to him. As Roy rises from a despised youth to a savior feared and admired by all the races of the continent, every step he takes is filled with hardship and challenges. Confronted with a chaotic situation, he must not only fight against the Demon Race and magical beasts but also find his own strength in every difficult decision. This is a story of growth, struggle, and sacrifice; a tale of how a hero rises from being an unknown nobody to ultimately changing the fate of the entire world. Watch as Roy rises through harsh trials, conquering past enemies, and ultimately standing atop the summit that is his alone, securing a place of his own.

Ann Eleanor Dahlia Alvador Justice grows up without the slightest knowledge of her past. Her past is a blank slate. Her future is as uncertain as the harmattan fog that clouds the horizon. But vengeance is clear. Strength is necessary. Power is inevitable. To reclaim the title that was once hers, she must walk a path paved with secrets, blood, and betrayal. Her heart is hardened, her resolve unshakable — until fate binds her to a man with eyes as cold as the shadows they both seek to escape. "What if you are unable to pay?" he asked, amusement barely concealed in his voice. Her gaze didn’t falter. "Then I would pay back with my body and soul." Their fates tangle in a dance of desire and deceit, and with every buried secret that rises to the surface, she realizes one chilling truth: the past never stays buried. Old enemies return. New betrayals unfold. And as the echoes of her forgotten life threaten to consume her, she faces a choice — become the prey or embrace the predator within. This time, she won’t run. This time, she’ll reign. Slm...

In the aftermath of a daring escape from the merciless King Ozul, Arya Athena and her band of young warriors find themselves stranded on the wild, unforgiving Island of Darth. The island's lush forests and silent waters hide more than just danger — they conceal a shadowy past, one that holds the key to overthrowing a tyrant who thrives on deceit and bloodshed. Haunted by her mother's sacrifice and driven by a need to protect her sister Liza and their people, Arya navigates a treacherous path where survival is earned through steel and wit. But as they fight to stay one step ahead of Ozul's men, the island begins to unveil secrets that could shift the balance of power in Shinghaala forever. When betrayal lurks behind every tree, and loyalty is paid for in blood, Arya's courage is tested like never before. Her fate — and that of her kingdom — hinges on a perilous rescue, a family lost to war, and an uncle believed to be dead. With a blade named Wraith, a heart filled with defiance, and the haunting memory of love sacrificed to war, Arya must choose: fight for survival or ignite a revolution. In a world where darkness reigns and legends are forged, the Island of Darth may just become the battleground for freedom, redemption, and the rise of the lion-hearted.

"Hold on..." The rustling of falling clothes magnifies under the silence of the night. Lying in the midst of torn corpses and bloody soil the couple entwines under the moon. Protected only by the clothes spread out beneath her the young woman shivers. Feeling the touch of his slippery tongue running across the curve of her back. "Wait." She murmurs... "I can't." The man answers as callused hands slip into the fabrics of her dress. It's not that, she tries but unable to express. "They're... watching..." The man laughs instead, "is this another way for you to reject me?" No. That's not it the young woman thought as she listens to the voices overhead. "Hey! Move over, I can't see!" "See?! What are you watching!? Roll to the side, she's my representative!" "Shut up! I can't hear the sounds!!" "Calm down everyone." Tears gather at the corner of her eyes as the young lady listen to the conversation above. Biting on her lips she really wanted to shout to the sky, "you shameless deities!! Stop watching!!!"

Who Am I?" Those were the first words I uttered, a desperate cry into the void of a world fraught with peril. Every moment was a struggle to survive, every breath a testament to the will to live. One misstep, one moment of weakness, and the abyss of despair would swallow me whole. In this chaotic realm, where martial organizations ruled with an iron fist, only the pawns who offered them value were kept alive. Could I uncover my true identity in this unforgiving landscape, or would I remain forever lost, a mere pawn in the games of the powerful? _______________ "In a realm bound by the shackles of fate, one man dared to defy the cosmos. This is the story of Noah, a warrior driven by an unyielding ambition: to shatter the fabric of time and destiny. With a burning desire to reclaim control over his own existence, Noah embarks on a perilous journey to challenge the very essence of reality.

In a world where everyone is a slave, someone is born who cannot be controlled. At the same time, an unstoppable villain rises on a quest for revenge. But the truth is darker than he ever imagined, and now he must face an unbeatable enemy — including himself. *** Bruno was a young man born on Earth, the son of an influential modern Emperor. Despite having everything money could buy and receiving the best and most rigorous training to succeed his father, he chose the opposite path, defying his family’s ruthless rule. The price of his innocence? A merciless death and the complete erasure of his existence by the deity controlling his fate. On Earth, the law of the powerful was absolute; a slave could never rebel. But then, he wakes up again. He’s reborn in a world of cultivation, where freedom was promised to those strong enough to claim it. Now, he could soar like a free bird and carve his own destiny... or so he thought. The harsh reality of this new world soon showed him how insignificant he still was. He realized he had only changed masters. The freedom he sought was an illusion. The heavenly laws treated everyone as servants, and their rules were unbreakable. Bruno learned this bitter truth after losing everything that made him happy due to an unjust rule. But who was he to question? Hopeless, Bruno died... and was reborn as Alm, an unstoppable villain. With a soul poisoned by pain and vengeance, he sowed chaos across the universe. Planets were destroyed, countless lives taken, and his name became synonymous with terror. A hero rose to oppose him, wielding a sacred sword of hope. People from all corners of the universe united against Alm, raising their voices and weapons to stop the villain who defied the heavens. But Alm was no longer just fighting for revenge. He was challenging the heavenly laws that sought to control him, fighting fate and all living beings. And against all odds... the sacred sword shattered. The alliance of the entire universe was defeated. The villain won! Now, Alm found himself alone in the empty void of a dead universe, facing his own inner demons. Who could be more ruthless to him than himself? “What have I done?” At that moment, the doors of truth opened to him. Everyone was a puppet of a supreme figure, an entity that manipulated minds and even the heavenly laws. “I will find you, no matter where you are!” Thus, the last emissary of the true Heaven’s Will awakened. Alm, who once only relied on his sheer will and rage, now had a system to guide him. But his opponent was an immortal existence, above even the heavens. The villain who destroyed an entire universe now faced a new beginning. He discovered that the universe he devastated was just a tiny grain of sand in an infinite cosmos, where countless other universes existed. And so begins the legendary tale of the villain’s rise... and the Sacred Round God? A strange Duality of Shadows existed within one person. But this time, he wouldn’t be alone. *** To clear up any potential confusion or frustration, here are some key points about the story. I’ll avoid major spoilers, but a few things will be revealed. You might find this concerning at first, but just check the book cover—it shows the main character and his only partner. She first appears at 10 years old, but rest assured, there’s no inappropriate content or early romance. At around 13, SHE starts developing feelings for the protagonist, but he doesn’t respond until she’s an adult. With her determined personality, she tries to seduce him at 17/18, but it doesn’t work. Their relationship only happens much later. The book has nods to other works, with my own spin on them, and focuses on avoiding elements I find problematic in other stories. Lastly, the beautiful book cover was commissioned and created by HDIArt.
