What If Cynthia Raised Ash

In a world bound by celestial forces and ancient archetypes, Theo was never meant to exist. When Samuel, a man from another world, awakens in the body of a boy long dead, he inherits not only Theo’s life but also a dark, fiery power—one that whispers of destruction. Marked by the Ember Crown Ascendant, a force tied to an ancient archetype, Theo is both a vessel and a weapon. But this power is volatile, and as he struggles to conceal his true identity, he realizes that the truth itself is dangerous. His "family"—Gregory and Lily—cling to the illusion that their son is still the boy they knew, but cracks are forming. And as the silent weight of his deception grows, so too does the peril that lurks in the shadows. Haunted by a past that isn’t his and hunted by forces beyond his understanding, Theo must navigate a world where fate is bound to the stars and power demands sacrifice. But when the time comes to choose—to embrace his role as a harbinger of fire or carve his own path—will he be able to escape the chains of destiny?

'Am I hallucinating? Am I dying?' Marx thought. Perhaps he was seeing visions because he was feverish, and his head ached from the contusions he suffered during the crash. He blinked, but the vision was still there. He saw a beautiful woman fully naked on the edge of the other side of the spring. Her slightly wavy hair with the color of copper cascaded freely down her slim waist. She raised her arms and dived cleanly into the water. Marx waited, but after some time, she did not emerge. Marx chuckled. How could a woman be in a jungle in the middle of nowhere?" He heard a growl from behind him, and before he could react, a big tiger pounced on him. The last thing he remembered was seeing four canines closing in and hearing a loud female voice shouting, "Khalil, stop!" … Discover how Amaya, who grew up in the wild, coped with the pressure and challenges of returning to the civilized world.

Growing up is a symphony of endings and beginnings, a delicate balance between heartbreak and self-discovery. "Ashes and Echoes" is a collection of poetry that captures the raw, unfiltered emotions of young adulthood: the first loves that set your world on fire, wishful thinking, and the bittersweet journey of finding yourself in the wreckage of the world. Through lyrical verse and intimate storytelling, these poems explore the restless nights, the unanswered messages, the weight of the world, and defiant hope and nostalgia that comes with healing. Each page is a reflection of what it means to love recklessly, to break beautifully, and to rise from the ashes of who you once were. For anyone who has ever felt lost, for those learning to stand on their own, "Ashes and Echoes" is a reminder that this is not the end, but it’s the beginning of something even more powerful: you.

When they tell you that history repeats itself, you should at least expect some details to change. But no, in our case, things went exactly as they did the first time: a crack in the sky, a couple of monsters a bit taller than usual, and a myriad of people who, for some reason, were surprised. Because who, honestly, wouldn't have bet on a good demon invasion every few hundred years? Although, to be fair, this time the causes are much clearer. Man always finds new ways to destroy himself. If the first time the solution came in the form of a shy librarian who unknowingly found the key to stopping the end of the world, this time it came in the form of a weak and hungry boy, who would have preferred to destroy it rather than save it. Let me ask you a question: who said that magic was reserved for muscular and dramatic warriors? No, my friends, true salvation, this time, doesn't come from paper, scrolls, and the patience of a genius, but from hunger, fear, and the will not to give up on your fate.
