Embers of Mythralis In a world where ancient gates connect realms beyond imagination, Earth has become the hub of a vast multiversal network — a place where elves walk in neon cities, dragons are the stuff of memory, and dungeons bloom like living scars across reality. But the most dangerous secret isn’t hidden in a dungeon. It’s sleeping under one family’s roof. Kaela and Kai look like ordinary twins — beautiful, gifted, and a little… strange. Raised in the city of Lysium by their legendary aunt, they’ve grown up navigating high-tech life and high-fantasy rules. They train with relics. Attend guild trials. Study systems. Avoid dungeon breaks. What they don’t know is the truth of their blood. Their mother was a white dragon from the forbidden realm of Mythralis. Their father — a fallen god, chained beyond the stars. Now, forces from across the Realms are beginning to move. The deities want the twins dead. The dragons want them punished. And the dungeons? They’ve begun whispering their names. Caught between destiny and desire, the twins must confront their inheritance — and survive long enough to uncover why every gate in the multiverse fears them. A war that shattered the Realms once. They may be the spark that ignites it again.

{Warning: Contains Mature Content} “Those who venture into the flames shall be consumed by its tongue—And they shall be called the Fallen.” One bloody night, Ember AshFall loses everything she never truly had. Born without magic, rejected by her coven and forsaken by her own family, she was always the outcast. But on that night of monstrosity, they were all plunged into the flames to burn to their deaths. And Ember did burn with them... until he pulled her from the fire. Khaos BlueBlood. Immortal. Cold-blooded Original Vampire. Battle-scarred god. He was nothing like the men from her cold, distant world. And when she rises from the ashes like a phoenix, he offers her a choice: stay a powerless witch… or risk everything and become something more. It was never truly a choice. In a deadly twist of fate, Ember assumes the identity of a dead princess—her doppelganger and heiress to the most powerful Human Clan. Thrust into a court of silk and knives, she becomes a pawn of the Queen Consort—a grieving mother who lost her real daughter, and now uses Ember in her place to enact cold-blooded vengeance. Yet amid the games of politics and power, Ember begins to feel something she's never known: twisted, complicated love. And from none other than the very mother who uses her… and perhaps, cherishes her too. Determined to protect her new life, Ember becomes the perfect daughter, the flawless princess. She learns to smile while wielding secrets, flawlessly playing the game of hearts and thrones among a royal family that wouldn’t hesitate to spill blood for power. Then he returns. Eight years later, Khaos BlueBlood is back to collect the price for saving her. A price so steep it unearths ancient truths and threatens everything she’s built. But what begins as a debt owed soon burns into something neither of them can afford—an attraction forged in fire, forbidden by duty, and dangerous enough to ruin them both. Torn between the queen who forged her and the vampire who saved her, Ember must navigate a world of fire and betrayal—where loyalty is born through pain, and love is just another form of control. Especially when the witch powers she never had begin to awaken—and they all lead back to him. One wears a stolen crown. One sharpens a stolen daughter. One hides a dagger behind every smile. And in a world where fire feeds the fallen, only the cruel will survive.

Their marriage was a transaction, inked on paper, devoid of affection. Or so he claimed. “What did you expect? That I’d fall for you? That this would become some fairytale?” “I would appreciate it,” she said coldly, “if you can remember that too.” Xia Ruyan, poised and distant, was nothing like the women Mo Yichen had known. She didn’t cry. She didn’t chase. She didn’t flinch. “You’re not worth the effort,” she said, unapologetically brutal. He tried to provoke her. Tried to tear past the mask of composure she wore like armor. But she met his fury with indifference. Moved like he was invisible. Breathed like he wasn’t there. He hated it. Her calm. Her detachment. Her maddening control. “I don’t like games,” he said one last time before turning away. Then, with a dark, curling smirk, he made a promise to himself. Let her pretend she’s above it all. So composed. So unreachable. Sooner or later, Xia Ruyan will break… And Mo Yichen will be the one to shatter her. She doesn’t feel anymore. Not since the day everything she loved was taken from her. Now, she hides emotionlessly behind a wall of ice, like someone who can't be touched....... He feels too much but only for control, power, and winning every game he plays. Cold-hearted and calculating, he’s never let anyone close enough to matter… until her. Two strangers, each carrying wounds the world can’t see, are thrown together by fate. He wants to melt her defenses. She wants to escape his grip. But when fire meets ice, someone always gets burned. Some hearts freeze to survive. Others burn to feel alive. Only the fiercest embers remain.

"Spoiled. Useless. A Disgrace to Demons."

Stripped of her luxuries and tossed into chaos, Rui must survive nine soul-shattering trials, each more hellish than the last. The catch? Everyone underestimated her, but no one can resist Rui's chaotic allure. Whether they start off trying to kill her, capture her, or lecture her, they all end up doing the same thing—falling head over heels for her.

Tiga hari. Itulah seberapa dekat aku dengan pernikahan bersama Alistair, pria yang kucintai selama enam tahun, pria yang nyawanya telah kuselamatkan dengan darahku yang langka. Aku sedang mengagumi mutiara terakhir pada gaun pengantinku, gaun yang telah kucurahkan jiwaku ke dalamnya, ketika dia menelepon. Pernikahan? Batal. Dia akan menikahi saudari tiriku, Ivy. Keinginan terakhirnya, katanya. Enam bulan untuk hidup, mungkin kurang. Yang lebih menyebalkan? Dia bahkan sudah mengambil gaun pengantinku dari studioku untuknya. Begitu saja, enam tahun, tak terhitung transfusi darah, impian bersama kami – semua dibuang begitu saja demi gadis yang telah membuat hidupku seperti neraka sejak kecil.

Mereka menginginkan tunanganku? Baiklah. Tapi mereka harus membayar. Pertama, perusahaan mode multi-juta dolar kami, Evening Gala – dibangun dari desainku, visi-ku. Dia menandatangani penyerahannya. Kemudian, satu juta dolar untuk gaun yang dicuri. Dia membayar. Satu juta lagi untuk perhiasan pernikahan yang mereka berani minta aku serahkan untuk Ivy. Cha-ching. Kau pikir mereka akan belajar. Tapi tidak. Proposal mereka berikutnya adalah yang paling menghina: Alistair benar-benar menyarankan bahwa aku harus menunggu saja. Bahwa setelah 'kepergian yang tak terelakkan' dari Ivy dalam beberapa bulan, dia dan aku bisa melanjutkan dari mana kami tinggalkan, mengadakan pernikahan yang bahkan lebih baik. Serius? Cukup sudah. Jika Ivy ingin bermain pengantin dengan hidupku, dia akan merasakan apa yang terjadi ketika kau mendorong seseorang terlalu jauh. Katakanlah saja perayaan di kamar rumah sakitnya melibatkan lebih banyak asap, air, dan teriakan daripada yang dia harapkan, semua berkat hadiah pernikahan kecil dariku.

SYNOPSIS Overall Synopsis: Divine Embers Rising In a vast human galactic federation spanning 28 populated planets, Jin Kazematsu, an unassuming young orphan from Celest, awakens a mysterious coiling dragon-shaped sigil. Unbeknownst to most, this sigil marks him as a wielder of the ancient and incredibly potent Azure Divine Dragon bloodline, a secret that must be fiercely guarded due to a terrifying enemy that hunts down such 'Invincibles'. Jin’s awakening leads him to the Dragon-Phoenix Academy, a prestigious institution where he embarks on a unique dual path. He cultivates Élantera, the versatile energy manifesting as a variable aura, synonymous with pressure, allowing for energy projection, barriers, and eventual flight. Simultaneously, he develops Inner Might, a grueling physical path (unknown to academy instructors) that grants immense resilience, unique traits, and its own form of pressure and aura, demanding 20 times the effort of normal training. While Inner Might empowers his body, it does not alter his innate Emerald/Green/Azure flames, Destruction, and Pure Élantera attributes, which evolve into a terrifying white flame. He further enhances his power by mastering intents of Void, Lightning, and Spirit, which layer vivid features onto his Élantera aura, and will eventually eliminate a stamina drawback from his ultimate combined power state. Due to his Azure Divine Dragon origin, Jin will also manifest unique draconic abilities like Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw attacks. His appearance in his transformed states varies, shifting to a bulkier, more muscular form when combining Élantera and Inner Might transformations, or a chiseled, raw power form when using Inner Might alone. As Jin's power grows, so does his diverse harem, a loyal and supportive circle including his best friend Elena (likely his first), Meilin, Dean Lan Yue (with whom his relationship will be consummated), female instructors/dorm heads, and other women of varying ages and statuses within the academy and beyond. Their relationships are built on genuine attraction and deep affection, with intimate moments depicted poetically and moments of pampering emphasizing emotional connection, all while adhering to content guidelines. Jin himself is a non-manipulative protagonist whose subtle, unintentional aura evokes passion in females, a power he learns to control. Jin’s journey involves rigorous academy life (75% combat-focused, including encouraged spars and meditation, but also fun and relaxation), inter-cadet challenges, missions from the Inventory Mart, and inter-academy and inter-galactic competitions. He won't win every battle outside of competitions, learning and growing from losses. During his time at the academy, he uncovers the truth of his origin as an Azure Scales Warrior and the danger his bloodline poses. He manifests formidable weapons: an Emerald flame-like essence spear (with a silver, green, and black armored form), a multi-form Absolution Blade: Drakon's Hunger (with a dark, menacing armored form outlined in black/green flames), and later, ten black rings with a green glow. Elena, too, develops her Guardian Aegis Set armor and other attributes. As his power approaches the Dean's, their hidden relationship will be revealed publicly after his 4th year graduation. The grand narrative culminates with the awakening of a sealed, world-devastating enemy, leading to a galactic war across the human federation. Jin, achieving his Perfect Transcendent Power State (a powerful fusion of Élantera and Inner Might, with two Élantera and one Inner Might transformation, culminating in a rainbow-edged, pure white-eyed final form during the last major battle), leads humanity's alliance to victory. Upon graduation, he becomes a legendary figure, shaping a new era of peace and prosperity across the stars alongside his devoted harem.

The day of her glory seemed certain: the Graduation Ceremony. However, fate—always treacherous with the fearless—turned what should have been a moment of triumph into one of humiliation. Before all her peers from the Archduchy of Montreal, Leonia was failed. No glory. No explanation. Only the bitter taste of disgrace and the satisfied gazes of those who relished her downfall. Driven by wounded pride and the fury of someone denied their rightful place, Leonia challenged Archduke Monteiro… and was met with a death sentence. But as if the gods were still toying with her ambitions, a new opportunity was thrown at her feet: to infiltrate the Order of the Lord of the Underworld, in Arion, and she might claim the position she so desperately sought. Two years to prove she can return. That she can rewrite her name. That she can, at last, become a Herald. But the forest is not made only of trees—it is made of monsters. And the greatest of them may walk beside her, with an arrogant smile and cruel eyes. To survive, Leonia will have to face not only the dangers of Arion, but also the darkest parts of mankind. For honor and for glory.
