In the kingdom of Valderin, where strength defines one's worth, Elara dreams of becoming a knight—an honor forbidden to women. Determined to defy the odds, she disguises herself as a boy and enlists in the kingdom’s elite knight training. But her path is anything but easy. Standing between her and her dream is Commander Damien, the kingdom’s strongest warrior and the leader of the knights. Ruthless, disciplined, and unyielding, he sees her as nothing more than a weakling unworthy of his approval. If she wants to survive the brutal trials and earn her place among the knights, she must prove him wrong. As Elara rises through the ranks, pushing past limits she never imagined, Damien begins to notice something unsettling about this new recruit—an unwavering determination that sets "him" apart. The more they clash, the more the tension between them grows, sparking emotions neither of them can afford to feel. But war is brewing, and secrets can only stay hidden for so long. When the truth comes to light, will Elara’s strength be enough to protect her dream—or will the betrayal cost her everything, including the man she never meant to fall for?

“My parents died protecting me.” “I only wanted a better, average life with my younger brother, but life knew how to punch you in the face. Nothing ever goes like I wanted.” “I started with the thrashest F-level trait possible, but so what? I’ll never surrender or resign myself to fate.” — Ash. Two hundred years ago, humanity opened portals to other dimensions, but involuntarily, they ended up bringing their worst nightmares to Earth—otherworld monsters that killed everything in their path. Mana came with the beasts, strengthening humanity’s bodies and allowing them to awaken traits to fight against the beasts. Yet they were still too weak. The only option found for surviving was to enter other worlds, steal their resources, and empower themselves to fight against their enemies. — This novel is inspired by one of my favorite Korean novels, which I had the pleasure of reading. However, the setting is entirely different. If you have read it, you'll likely recognize it in the prologue.

{Check out my new novel, Misunderstood Villain: Heroines Mourn My Death} 'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero.

In 300 BCE, the serene village of Arcadia becomes a living nightmare when Persian invaders unleash their wrath, leaving nothing but ashes and heartbreak. Among the few survivors is Lisandra, a young girl with a fiery spirit, whose family is brutally torn from her. Hidden away by her mother in a desperate bid to save her, Lisandra is forced to witness unimaginable horrors that forever scar her soul. Alone and consumed by grief, she finds solace and love in her childhood friend, Athina, who also survives the massacre. Together, they struggle to heal while hiding in the wilderness. But Lyzendra's heart burns with an unquenchable thirst for revenge, even as Athina pleads with her to abandon the path of violence. Cutting her hair and binding her chest, Lyzendra assumes the guise of a man and journeys to Sparta to train as a warrior. There, she hones her skills, driven by a singular purpose: to destroy those who wronged her and to fight against tyranny. Her journey takes her beyond the boundaries of Greece as she learns the art of war from the fierce Scythians, the cunning Illyrians, and other legendary tribes. Yet, with each battle fought and each life taken, Lisandra finds herself slipping further from the person she once was. As she rises to prominence, Lisandra becomes both a beacon of hope and a shadow of terror. But at what cost does revenge come? Will her pursuit of justice bring closure, or will it consume her soul entirely? In a tale of resilience, love, and the destructive allure of vengeance, The Warrior's Odyssey explores the strength it takes to fight, the pain of loss, and the cost of hatred in a world torn apart by war.
