The mountains are wise and old. they witness many things, things that are unwritten, abandoned by history. One of them is the story of an old man. Who is powerful yet doubtful. he doesn't understand his true self. and hopes to find it, in this strange place we call earth with some strange creatures we call humans.

Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players. This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost… Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.

I never asked for this. The world I created, the world I thought I understood, has become a prison, a twisted labyrinth where nothing is as it seems. Trapped inside my own story, I’m forced to play by rules I didn’t write, and survival has become a game where the price is paid in blood. A strange mark pulses on my wrist, a Primordial Echo that grants me power, but at what cost? Every fight is a step further into the darkness, every kill, a little more of my soul stripped away. Yet, I have no choice but to keep moving forward. There’s something I need to do. A wish I must grant. But Emil, the protagonist who pulled me here, won’t even tell me what it is. I thought I knew what it meant to live, to fight. But now, as I stare down the creatures of this world, the blood on my hands, I’m starting to understand the truth. This world doesn’t care about your past, your intentions, or your survival. It only cares about one thing, power. And if you can’t take it, you’ll be crushed by it. The fight for my life has just begun. **** A/N: Hello and welcome to my first novel. I've always loved writing stories and have believed I had, at least somewhat, a knack for it. Writing is something I'm truly passionate about, and I’ve put a lot of thought into this novel. However, this is my first time writing something like this, so if you notice any mistakes, inconsistencies, or parts that just don’t make sense, please feel free to point them out. I’m open to all feedback. Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading about Damien's journey.

Read one weeks worth of chapters :: https://www.patreon.com/yezar When the world speaks, he listens. When the heavens decree, he defies. And when silence falls… the world will tremble. In a world where words shape fate and silence is a curse, a lone figure walks the path of cultivation—wordless, unseen, and feared. Born into obscurity, he was once an ordinary aspirant, a nameless youth left alone after the tragic demise of his adoptive parents. He dreamed of stepping onto the path of immortality, yet fear held him back. That hesitation cost him everything. But the heavens do not wait. Far into the future, at the peak of an ancient celestial gathering, the decree of the heavens descended. "Accept the heavenly decree." He stood there, silent as ever. "..." The murmurs of the elders filled the void, voices heavy with awe and confusion. "Congratulations... you have been chosen as the next—" Before the words could be completed, a flicker of unseen force erupted. A breath. A thought. A mere glance. In the next instant, the one who spoke was gone—erased from existence, as if he had never been. Silence returned. Yet, silence does not mean death. For in the unseen, in the unspoken, a great Dao stirs. A sovereign rises, not with words, but with an unwavering will. And the world will learn—silence is not weakness. It is a storm waiting to erupt. [What to Expect?] A mute protagonist whose silence hides a deeper mystery. Ruthless cultivation world where strength reigns supreme. Dao of Silence—a path unseen, feared, and misunderstood. Schemes, betrayals, and a fate even the heavens fear.

The gravest transgression resides in the betrayal of one's essence, when all is cast aside for fleeting shadows, for nothing that bears true weight. For the truest measure of a soul lies not in the tides of others' influence, but in the steadfast conviction of one's own beliefs, unyielding to the eroding winds of conformity. It is in purity of individual thought, untainted and resolute, that the meaning of a person is forged and sustained.

For years, Ran Yuan was alone—trapped in a secret realm with no way out. Then, one day, he was finally discovered and freed. But freedom came at a price. His rescuer was no ordinary cultivator but a powerful and possessive elder from a hidden sect—unyielding in his decision that Ran Yuan would become his disciple. Thrust into a world he barely remembered, he is forced to navigate its dangers and unravel long-buried secrets, as he ascends on the path of cultivation.

"Ah, do gather ‘round, my dear, doomed darlings! Let me tell you a tale stitched together with silk and sinew, of a world that weeps and wails yet waltzes on, oh-so-beautifully, toward its inevitable doom! A tale where a bastard prince—oh, do forgive me, a Yellow Bastard, no less!—dances through the carnage with a grin sharper than a guillotine’s kiss. The war? Endless. The dead? Numerous. The fools who think they can win? Oh, darling, they’re my favourite! And me? HA! I am but the Jester of Fate, laughing at the script I can recite but never rewrite! There is love, yes! Blood-soaked, broken, bitterly beautiful love! There is horror, the kind that makes even monsters shudder! And there is a melody—a requiem for the dreamers who thought they could defy the abyss. So, my sweet, step right up! Watch as kings fall, messiahs burn, and devils waltz upon the graves of gods! It is all so, so funny, don’t you think? No? Ah, well. Laugh or weep, the requiem plays on. And so do we."

In a world where power defines everything and those born without Talents are discarded as worthless, 18-year-old Kai is forced to scrape by in the shadows of Fort Varen. But when he stumbles upon a mysterious idle system—a secret ability that lets him grow stronger by allocating points into stats and skills—Kai’s path changes forever. With the system’s power, he can rival even the strongest warriors, but if anyone discovers his secret, he’ll become a target in a society where the weak are crushed and the strong rule without mercy. As Kai ventures into dangerous dungeons and the enigmatic Tower, he uncovers a truth that could shake the foundations of his world. Will he rise to power or be consumed by the very system that could make him unstoppable?

What is power? What is control? In a world where strength is law and the weak are forgotten, every child is given a single chance—to awaken, or to remain powerless forever. The path to ascension is brutal, shaped by trials that test not only strength but the very essence of one's soul. Kaelen was never meant to rise. Orphaned at twelve, surviving in a world where monsters lurk beyond the gates and elites hoard power, he learned one truth: strength is not given, it is taken. When the system calls upon him, offering a chance to awaken, he does not hesitate. Thrown into a mental realm where failure means death, he must outthink, outmaneuver, and outlast. But the trial is only the beginning. As he steps into a world of unseen wars, ancient secrets, and rivals who command the very fabric of reality, one thing becomes clear—power is not enough. To rule, one must dominate. And in the silence of the abyss, Kaelen will carve his own path.

Action, mystery, revenge

War is a hunger that devours everything. Kingdoms, armies, and even the souls of those who fight it. For Eryndor Voss, war was never a choice—it was survival. Once a miner in the storm-scarred highlands, he lost everything when the Akkadian Empire burned his village, enslaved his people, and carved their dominion into the bones of the earth. Now, as a commander of the Raven Claws, a ruthless rebel force striking from the shadows, he wages a war not for glory, but for vengeance. But empires do not break easily. The Akkadian Warborn, elite warriors clad in black iron, hunt him relentlessly. Their leader, the enigmatic Legate Kaelvar, is more than a soldier—he is a tactician who plays war like a grandmaster’s game, turning every battlefield into a test of Eryndor’s resolve. The war grows bloodier, the lines between honor and monstrosity thinner. Victory demands sacrifice. But as Eryndor’s desperate guerrilla strikes escalate into full-scale rebellion, he faces a question far darker than death: Can you win a war without becoming the monster you fight?

"Let me take a look." Mr. Wright’s voice was calm, professional even, but his touch—steady and assured as he lifted me onto the desk—was anything but ordinary. His hands, broad and strong, lingered just a moment too long on my arm as he steadied me, sending an unwelcome but undeniable shiver down my spine. I swallowed hard, trying not to notice the way his tie loosened slightly as he leaned in or the faint scent of cedarwood and worn pages that seemed to follow him everywhere. He was close enough now that I could see the faint worry lines etched into his brow as he carefully slid the strap of my uniform off my shoulder. "Alina," he said softly, his voice low but tinged with exasperation, "why do you always end up hurt?" His fingers ghosted over the darkened skin near my collarbone, examining it with the precision of someone who cared too much but tried not to show it. "You need to stop being reckless," he murmured, his tone shifting, softer now. "If anyone bullies you again, come to my office, and I’ll deal with them." It was a simple offer, but I had to remind myself, loudly and firmly, that this was my Mr.. The man responsible for my education, not... whatever my mind was trying to turn him into. "Mr. Wright," I started, trying to regain control of the situation—and my racing heart. "This really isn’t a big deal. I can handle myself." His jaw tightened ever so slightly, and for a fleeting moment, I thought he might argue. Instead, he stepped back, his hands falling away from me as if realizing they’d overstayed their welcome. --------------------------------------------------------------- Alina Hart, a sharp-tongued high school senior, hides behind sarcasm and wit to mask the pain of fractured family life. Shipped off to a prestigious boarding school by a father who no longer sees her, Alina struggles to find her place in a world of strict rules and academic expectations.

In the backdrop of Shakespearean sonnets and Romantic poetry, Alina and Wright navigate an increasingly fraught connection. What begins as reluctant mentorship soon transforms into a tangled web of forbidden emotions, unspoken words, and an undeniable pull that neither can ignore. Set against the bustling corridors of an urban high school and the quiet corners of a library filled with unspoken confessions, Silent Flames, Forbidden Paths explores the fine line between admiration and desire, duty and vulnerability. As Alina and Wright grapple with their feelings, they must confront their moral boundaries and the cost of their choices. Can they maintain the lines they’ve drawn, or will their emotions blur them beyond recognition?
