But there he was, sitting quietly in the VVIP section, and she had to do something. Anything. All eyes turned toward her, and the room fell into stunned silence. The weight of a thousand gazes bore down on her, and the only sound was the frantic beat of her own heart as she waited for his response. *************** Lilia’s life is turned upside down at a lavish masquerade party when an unexpected announcement claims she is engaged to Lowell, a man she has never agreed to marry.

The weak are insulted and abused the strong are praised and worshipped. Haji had spent his life buried in Xianxia, Wuxia, and Fantasy—always yearning for a world beyond the mundane Earth. Haji had long grown weary of the cumbersome Earth he knew all too well. However, one fateful day during his leisurely stroll in the forest, a spatial rift tore open before him. An impossible phenomenon; an unprecedented opportunity. Without hesitation, he stepped through. The rift vanished; as did Haji Darkness. Chaos. The vast unknown. Then—light. Haji awakened, not as himself, but as a newborn. Reborn into a poor clan, in a world where life was cheap and cruelty was law. His instincts roared. His soul remained unshaken. He devoured the infant’s soul without hesitation, seizing the body for himself. In this world, he would crawl if he had to, kneel if it meant survival. He would kowtow, beg, flatter, and endure humiliation. But he would remember. He would engrave every insult, every glare, every bystander who stood idle as he suffered. He would return kindness & loyalty with mountains of profundity, and malice with vengeance a hundredfold. For now, he was weak, merely a cub, but one day, he would pierce above the heavens. On that day, there would be no more restraints. No more caution. No more rules. Only his will, unchallenged and eternal.

In the world of Aedra, dreams do not merely exist in slumber—they shape reality. The Veil, an ethereal boundary, separates the waking world from the Somnisphere, a realm where thought can mold landscapes, and memories become tangible. Those who wield the Dreamborn Arts—Lucids, Weavers, Sleepwalkers, Echoes, and Hollows—command the essence of the dreamscape itself. But something is shifting. Yeaia Nolas, a wanderer neither wholly real nor wholly dream, walks the liminal spaces between the worlds. Marked by an eye that sees beyond time and a past lost in the unraveling tides of forgotten history, they are drawn to the whispers of the Unremembered—souls erased from existence, lingering at the edges of oblivion. When the ancient Forgotten City begins to stir, revealing pathways that should not exist, Yeaia is thrust into a mystery older than the Veil itself. The Awakened Choir seeks to merge dreams and reality into one endless vision. The Hollowed Crown hungers to consume the last remnants of the Somnisphere. And deep beneath the ruins, something ancient and dreaming begins to wake—something that should never have been forgotten. As the Veil weakens and the world teeters on the brink of unraveling, Yeaia must navigate treacherous alliances, eldritch horrors, and the weight of a fate they may not be able to escape. Because in Aedra, to dream is to create. And to forget… is to cease to exist.

Nations struggle to rebuild, tensions simmer beneath fragile alliances, and whispers of something far greater-far darker-stir beyond the stars. Amidst it all, one man searches for purpose in a world that no longer makes sense. What he finds will shake the foundations of everything humanity believes. Because The Shift was never an accident. It was a message. And someone-something-is coming. credit for cover: [Pinterest:https://pin.it/5wa8sAySO]

The world of Eshkaris was one whole, realm where gods and mortals coexisted beneath an unbroken sky. But that was before the First Betrayal. Many years have passed since the First Betrayal, when the stars vanished and the Veil was woven- a barrier between Eshkaris and the abyss beyond.

Empire rose from the ashes of forgotten kingdoms, monarchs played at divinity, and magic became a force of both salvation and suffering. Now, Eshkaris is fractured, an expanse of eighteen continents, each bound by its own laws of power,corruption, and myth. Some lands are utopias where the elite rule in bliss. Others in hellscapes.

Alastor Von had everything a noble heir could ask for—wealth, prestige, and two loving parents who doted on him. Yet, beneath the grandeur of his life, an emptiness gnawed at him. He had no memories beyond the past few months, no recollection of childhood laughter or the warmth of family traditions. His parents told him it was due to an accident—one so severe it had erased his past completely. Still, doubts plagued him. The people of the kingdom whispered behind his back, questioning his legitimacy. Servants exchanged glances when they thought he wasn’t looking. And then there was his own reflection—too perfect, too unnatural. He looked nothing like his parents. The sharp contrast between their features and his made the rumors even harder to ignore. But Alastor refused to let uncertainty dictate his fate. He threw himself into training, learning everything he could about the world he was supposedly part of. His parents praised his intelligence, his refinement, his perseverance. And yet, none of that mattered when he stepped into the sacred chamber of Awakening. The moment had come to prove himself worthy of his lineage. Every noble child was granted a moment to shine, to awaken the power sleeping within their blood. Alastor took a deep breath, stepping forward into the sacred circle. The air crackled with energy, the weight of destiny pressing upon his chest. As the ritual began, the entire kingdom seemed to hold its breath, waiting to witness his ascension. Yet, deep in his heart, an unshakable unease took root, whispering that something was not as it seemed. And in that instant, everything changed.
