Across the Huron Sea: Lust For Life

Seized by a panic such as she had never experienced in the 21 short years of her life, Mira scrambled against the man's grip, and a whiff of blood mingled with an intoxicating scent of cedar. “Shh,” he murmured, lowering his head. Pressed against his firm chest, she gulped at the dark red seeping through his shirt ivory white. She risked a glimpse up. Under a silver-black phantom half mask was a sculpted face, strands of jet-black hair sweeping his cheeks. Contrasting his pale complexion were those burgundy red lips, above which, a straight nose cast a shadow on his thin eyes the color of onyx. He glanced down at her, his gaze otherworldly. “If you’re thinking of getting on the back of the truck,” he wheezed, his larynx heaving. “Bad idea.” Deep like the rumbling sea and magnetic, his gravelly voice threatened to drown any audience. ----- History repeats itself. In a world ten thousand years after ours perishes, the planet is ruled by the First World, consisting of the Commonwealth and the Republic across the Huron Sea. 21-year-old Mira de Armas must escape the Commonwealth after a posse of vigilantes who called themselves the Reds started a revolution and persecuted her stepfather till his death. Disguised as a boy, she smuggles herself to the Republic. As she tries to escape from the Customs, she is caught by the most wanted man of the First World, the last drug lord who has taken out all the Republican cartels. The man offers to take her to safety in exchange for helping him to a bunker and treating his wound from the gunshot. Left with no choice, Mira joins forces with the man and learns that he is Dr. Warshon Qusbecq, a renowned physician by day. As their journey uncovers old memories and reveals the conspiracy behind the election of the First World Premier, their relationship evolves from suspicion to mutual dependence and affection. Through intellectual sparring and the exchange of personal stories, they reveal emotional vulnerabilities to each other that they hide from the rest of the world. Drawing on her own experiences in the Commonwealth, Mira sees the truth as she falls into the dark: that darkness exists exactly because the light is shining and enjoyed on the other side. I hope you'll enjoy this romantasy.

Rebirth of the primordial sovereign

In a world where cultivation defines one's destiny, Makoto awakens from the brink of death in a shattered body that barely clings to life. Stripped of his strength, his meridians broken, and his cultivation abolished, Makoto faces a cruel reality—a life of weakness in a sect that prizes power above all else. But Makoto is no ordinary cultivator. Unbeknownst to the world, he is the reincarnation of an ancient being, the creator of all martial and cultivation techniques. Once a sovereign who stood at the pinnacle of existence, his soul now resides in a body far weaker than any he has ever known. His memories are fragmented, his power sealed by enemies who sought to destroy him. As Makoto struggles to piece together the truth of his past and the betrayal that led to his downfall, he discovers that the world he once ruled now clings to mere echoes of his original techniques. With nothing but his boundless knowledge and indomitable will, he sets out to reclaim his strength, restore his cultivation, and uncover the conspiracy that shattered his life. But Makoto’s path is fraught with danger. In a sect teeming with deceit and ambition, powerful enemies lurk in the shadows, while the remnants of his forgotten past threaten to resurface. Can Makoto rise once more to the summit of the cultivation world, or will the forces that sealed him away succeed in erasing him forever? This is a tale of rebirth, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of power. The creator has returned, and his second ascension will shake the heavens.
