Fire Still Burns

The Bride They Burned He married me for a bet. Then made me bleed to entertain his friends. I was the perfect wife. Obedient. Loving. Devoted. Until my husband turned my life into a game. > “Walk on glass to save your son.” “Smile while you bleed.” “Beg like a good girl.” And when I finally broke, they ended me—with a knife to my heart and laughter in their eyes. But I didn't stay dead. I returned in a new body. More beautiful. More dangerous. And this time—I won’t cry. I won’t beg. I’ll make them fall for me. And then I’ll destroy them. One by one. ---

In a world where law still stands but legend speaks louder, bandits have become icons—rivals to kings, architects of rebellion, storytellers in scars. Their rise began with one name: Gio Van Nics, the outlaw whose final words sparked a generation. He was hanged by the state, but lifted by myth. He didn’t destroy the world—he made it stealable. Now, in the shadow of his legacy, Kami Van Hellsin dreams not of peace or wealth, but of a throne built on defiance. Inspired by Gio’s words, he sets out to form a crew of his own—one that doesn’t obey, doesn’t inherit, and doesn’t ask. They’ll carve their names into history not as rulers… but as bandits who reign. In the cracked provinces of law and loyalty, where relics grant stolen power and Pulse surges through instinct, Kami’s journey will test the meaning of legend—and what it takes to claim the crown without permission.

But I won’t remain the girl he left behind. This time, I’ll play his game and use his love against him. I’ve returned to shake every foundation of the old wealth he hides behind. I’m no longer soft. I’m the fire he lit and now I burn with purpose

Are monsters born or made? Some think monsters are the gods' punishment upon the world for their wrongdoing. Others think it was circumstance that created the monster. The cynical believe some are just born broken beings who could maim and murder without conscience. They were all wrong. I wasn't an accident, a victim of circumstance, or a punishment from the gods. Fools rationalized and tried to find deep meaning where there was none. The truth was, I simply made a choice.

In the depths of a primeval forest, where ancient trees twisted towards the sky like skeletal fingers, their gnarled branches tangled in a canopy of darkness. An impenetrable darkness, an unearthly silence reigned like a velvet cloak, gently suffocating all that breathed, trembled, or stirred within its grasp, like a psychopath predator. The air was heavy with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves, and the only sound was the soft, mournful rustle of leaves, as a chorus of whispers, shrouding the landscape in an eternal, spine-tingling twilight. The darkness suddenly trembled, a slow, bone-chilling glow began to seep from the shadows, casting an ethereal luminescence across the forest floor. The soft, pulsing light grew in intensity, illuminating the source of the glow; a girl with a kind of beauty that transcended the natural, whose presence seemed to command the very air around her. Her eyes, akin to a pair of golden flames, burned with an inner fire, and her hair shimmered with an otherworldly radiance, each flowing strand crackling with raw energy, as if the moon itself had descended to earth. Yet, despite her captivating beauty, an aura of terrifying power emanated from her being, making the trees seem to shudder and the shadows recoil in fear. ....

After dying in an freak accident Lux Underland has been transported into another realm. With mythical creatures buzzing around he now has to level his way up to different worlds, galaxies, and universes. Whilst picking up some friends along the way.

Centuries ago, the Elyari Empire collapsed in a cataclysm of magic, leaving behind cursed soil, shattered thrones, and the "Fast Lives" — a cruel spell that dooms peasants to live full lives in only a decade. Now, fifty young sovereigns — scions of ancient houses — each rule their fragments of a broken realm, spread across wild biomes from icy mountains to scorched deserts, tangled forests to fertile plains. Among them is Alexios of House Helion, called Caesar, a charismatic leader in the plains, who dreams of unity. With his sister Niharika, a healer, and a circle of builders, warriors, and diplomats, he dares to imagine an island healed. He is joined — and opposed — by a web of rulers: Amir, a desert tactician; Thalia, a cultured visionary; Takahashi, the isolationist shogun of the forests; Julia, the cunning queen of Duskreach; Lyra, the stoic queen of ice; Astrid, a war-hardened tactician; and many others. As alliances rise and collapse, ancient tombs whisper secrets of the past. A prophecy emerges — a second calamity is near. When Alexios and Amir uncover lost Elyari texts in a volcano’s heart, they vow to stop history from repeating. But prophecy is not easily bent. Ramses and Adonis revolutionize village-building, ushering a new age of infrastructure and cooperation. Weddings are held, flags are raised, and pacts are signed. But underneath the progress, betrayals fester. Julia builds a web of spies. Orlan rises from exile. Takahashi's code clashes with diplomacy. Amir is poisoned. Friendships unravel. Whispers of an undead army echo from ancient tombs. The cursed minerals of vaelstone — coveted, dangerous, powerful — begin to reawaken forces best left buried. When Julia misreads the prophecy and activates a forgotten army, the dead rise again — and this time, they do not recognize kings from peasants. As kingdoms fall and cities burn, a final alliance of survivors unites: not for power, but survival. The past has awakened, and it remembers everyone. To save the island, the inheritors of Elarion must decide: Will they repeat the sins of their ancestors… or rise above them?

> "Some people are storms. Others are fire. And then there’s me—I survived both and learned how to burn quietly." Aurora Hayes doesn’t believe in fairy tales. Not anymore. She walks through life with her chin up, lips laced with sarcasm, and a heart locked in vaults no one’s allowed to touch. After all, she's learned that feelings are messy, trust is dangerous, and love is a game no one wins. But then comes Zidane Blackwood — too charming for his own good, with a laugh that lingers and a gaze that holds questions she’s not ready to answer. He’s the last person she wants near her carefully curated chaos. And yet... he’s always there. Behind her in class. Beside her in unexpected moments. Beneath her skin before she realizes it. > "Why do I always end up in your car, Zidane?" "Maybe destiny just really enjoys annoying you." Their connection isn’t sweet. It’s fiery. Chaotic. A flirtatious battlefield with stolen glances, sharp retorts, inside jokes, and emotional landmines. And beneath the layers of humor and hesitation lie two hearts scarred by the past, colliding in a world that never taught them how to heal. Zidane might be the only one who sees past Aurora’s armor. But will she let him close enough to find out what's burning beneath? > "We're not friends." "Then let’s stop pretending. What if we’re something worse?"
