Aesthetica Of A Rogue Hero

*Synopsis* Kai had always been into fantasy stories—knights, mages, epic battles, and especially the whole “hero vs. demon king” thing. But out of all the crazy tropes those stories had, the one that always stuck with him the most was hypnosis. Then one day, while walking out of a store, fate hit him like a truck—literally. He shoved a woman out of the way, saved her life… and promptly died. Classic. But instead of fading into the void or getting some sad funeral scene, Kai got the “Congratulations, you’re reincarnated!” treatment. New world, new rules, new him. Total fantasy package. He was told he could pick three abilities to help him get started. So what did he choose? Strength? Magic? Swordsmanship? Nah. Kai picked hypnosis. Because why not have a little fun with mind control in a world where dragons and demon kings exist? Now, with his powers unlocked, Kai’s ready to dive into an adventure full of excitement, danger, and a little (okay, a lot) of debauchery. And hey—if he ends up saving the world while he's at it? Even better. All thanks to hypnosis, of course. *DISCLAIMER* This novel will be a fun adventure story, not to be taken seriously. If you just want to laugh, have fun, enjoy a super overpowered MC, and lots of lemons (maybe), then this story is for you. If you're here for an intricate, thought-out, crazy foreshadowing story with stakes, then this story ISN'T for you, so shoo, go away!

He died with blood on his hands… and betrayal in his heart. Once a powerful figure hunted by cloaked enemies, he collapsed on a battlefield soaked in silence—forgotten, erased. Or so they thought. Reborn as a newborn child, he opens his eyes to a world that feels familiar… and yet so painfully distant. His body is new, but his soul still trembles with fragments of a past life. Shattered memories. Echoes of war. A single thought: “I… I died… didn’t I?” In this life, he is nameless, powerless, and small. But deep inside him stirs the embers of something dangerous — a buried truth that was never meant to return. As he grows, so do the questions. Who were those that killed him? Why was he brought back? And what is he destined to become in this second life? A dark journey begins — of forgotten legacies, broken gods, and a soul that refuses to fade.

“Is this a joke?” That was the first thing Felix thought when he turned 18 and sensed his mate bond. How could Jared possibly be his mate?! The man who bullied him since they were kids, a complete player, and the pupil of Felix’s ‘beloved’ father?! Sure, he was powerful, handsome and leader of their pack - the best match out there, that any other Omega would die for… But nope, not Felix! Felix had no idea what Moon Goddess was thinking, but he wasn’t going to sit still and accept his fate. The problem was that Jared wanted him… And during his first heat, Felix accidentally slept with him! He’d never agree to break their bond now! Well then… What else could a guy do but to run away? But fate wasn’t done dealing with him. Soon after he left, he discovered he was pregnant! From then on, he not only would have to worry about his own survival, but also take care of a child! Two months later, after traveling across the country, he finally found a nice town to settle in. No pack controlling the area, just a few rogues and other rejects. Perfect. After his terrible first match, Felix didn’t want another mate! Except. As Felix was busy getting his new life in order and preparing to welcome his baby, a handsome and dangerous - or maybe dangerously handsome? - Alpha stopped by in town. Kade, the next leader of the Bloodmoon Pack, one of the most powerful packs out there! And Felix sensed a bond between them… “Really? Really? I have to go through this again?!” “Thanks but no thanks, I would rather be a rogue!” Felix said, hugging a fox that made its home in his pantry… And the fox snickered, burying its head in Felix’s neck.

Discord Link for those interested [https://discord.gg/TGc9yymDJP] One may think that in order to be a Hero you must have a pure soul, and untainted heart, but in reality such a thing is impossible; now one's soul is pure, nor is anyone's heart untainted, Gods aren't even exempt from this rule. No, a True Hero is someone who knows they have an impure soul and tainted heart, yet they embrace it, instead of attempting to deny their very nature; however, not all True Heros are the same, some have different beliefs and/or ideals. Yet at the end of the day, no matter how terrible or bleak the situation looks, you can always count on a True Hero to act as a beacon of light that'll show you the correct path, but for you to take, you must embark on it yourself.

All Winter Cross wanted was to escape the suffocating grip of her adoptive family — the largest and most powerful werewolf bloodline in existence. Tired of their rules, their violence, and the darkness that came with their world, she longed for freedom. So, she made a choice: to carve out a new life for herself far away from werewolf politics and power plays, and accept a quiet, stable job at Riggs Corporation. Just when she thought she had finally escaped the shadows of the werewolf life she so bitterly despised — a life she wanted no part in — fate intervened in the most unexpected form: her boss. Charming, enigmatic, and impossibly magnetic, he made her heart race in ways she couldn’t explain. Against every wall she had built, she fell for him — hard, deeply, and helplessly. What she didn’t know was that the man who stirred her every emotion and invaded her thoughts was hiding a devastating secret — he was the very Rogue her adoptive father had spent years hunting, the one threat that kept him awake at night. Her father’s worst nightmare… and her heart’s desire. Now, torn between love and blood, secrets and loyalty, how would he keep the truth from her — and when it finally came out, how would Winter bear the unbearable truth? That the man she had fallen madly in love with — the one who was equally, desperately obsessed with her — was not only a werewolf, but the enemy she had spent her whole life taught to hate?

A deep voice yelled behind her, "Get the rogue!" "Don't let her escape!" When Astra jumped over a downed tree, her bare feet hit the cold ground. There were leaves and sticks in her long, dark hair as it whipped around her face. She couldn't stop. When thieves were caught by pack wolves, they usually died. She kept going even though it hurt her side to run so fast. She had learned one thing from being chased for ten years: never stop when they're close. "I see her!" Another arrow flew by, this time brushing her arm. Astra bit her lip to keep from crying out. Blood trickled down her arm, but she couldn't worry about that now. The smell would make it easy for them to track her, though. Up ahead was a river. If she could just reach it, she might be able to hide her smell. Astra pushed her tired legs harder, ignoring the pain shooting through her body. Astra, the daughter of the Alpha, went rogue ten years ago after the mysterious death of her sister, Lyra. Forced to live as a slave, she never imagined that on her 18th birthday, she would discover that her mate was none other than the feared Alpha of the strongest pack, Alaric. But their bond is far from simple. As she struggles to win his heart and gain the pack’s acceptance, the return of a woman she thought was dead will force Astra to confront the dark secrets of her past. With enemies hiding in plain sight and a prophecy that could destroy everything, Astra must fight not only for love but for her very survival.
