Hirata Estate

Shadowborne Estate is set among the remote heights of Mount Umbra. Its residents are the most feared family of assassins across the globe, and they are known by only one name: the Shadowborne. The mention of their name strikes fear on the lips of kingdoms, and death knocks quietly on the doors with unfailing accuracy. Trained from childhood, each an exceptionalist in their own right as shaped by the harshest of absolutist abuse and untamed loyalty to the family's dynasty. But the youngest successor, Kael, who begins to question the morality of the family’s line of work, becomes the catalyst that causes cracks in the family’s otherwise ironclad code. Kael, driven by curiosity and a desire to break free, seeks out the truth hidden in the Shadowborne archives: truths about where they come from, the curse that binds their bloodline, and the cost of wielding the magic that can ultimately consume them. Kael’s contentious actions set off a cascade of events that will find him at odds with his merciless siblings, who will do whatever it takes to protect the Shadowborne legacy. As alliances change and betrayals pile up, Kael must make a choice: Will he destroy the legacy he was born into or adopt it to protect those he loves? Twilight of the Shadowborne Legacy is that of loyalty to family and respect for blood, tangled as it is with dark legacy, the struggle for a generation between adoration of our lineage and defiance against our hearts.

In a world where Senar—the lifeblood of strength and power—determines one’s fate, Zarn was born with unmatched talent. But such a gift does not come without cost. His mother died bringing him into the world, his father’s health crumbled under the strain of his presence, and by the time he was brought to Drenda City, he was already alone. Weak, sickly, and barely holding on, Zarn grew up in the slums, relying on his intelligence and charm to survive. He never dared to tap into his strength, fearing that doing so would only accelerate his decline. While others wielded their Senar freely, he kept his hidden—fear that the more power he uses, the weak his body gets. But everything changed when, at fifteen, he awakened a power even rarer than he had before: the power of a Natural Summoner. Unlike others who needed scrolls or government-run portals, Zarn could breach the veil between worlds on his own. His first journey into the Beast World nearly killed him, but he returned with more than just scars—he brought back Mico, a blue-flamed lion as small and overlooked as he was. In the aftermath of his return, Zarn wanted nothing more than to live quietly with Mico, avoiding the gaze of those who would seek to exploit his abilities. But fate had other plans. Drenda City was no place for an anomaly like him to remain hidden for long. Soon our MC crosses paths with Arth, the lively young heir of a powerful family. What began as an unlikely encounter soon turned into something more—an offer of belonging he never expected. Mia and John, leaders of a noble house, took him in, offering not just shelter but a name, a family, and a future. It was a stark contrast to the harsh survival he had known. In their estate, he found warmth and structure, and in Arth, an energetic little brother who refused to leave his side. But despite finding safety, Zarn couldn’t shake the realization that his knowledge of the world was painfully lacking. Beyond the slums, beyond the Beast World, lay a vast stage where power, politics, and unseen forces moved. He had spent so long surviving that he had never truly learned. And so, for the first time, Zarn set his sights on something different—not just survival, but understanding. He would enter a school, immerse himself in the vastness of the world he had barely scratched the surface of, and uncover what it truly meant to hold power in a world ruled by Senar. Little did he know, this was only the beginning.

"The Demon Lords are bringers of destruction, and among them, I am the strongest." The Demon King has fallen, slain by the Hero in a battle that shook the heavens. After this, humanity knew a long era of peace and prosperity, with the hero now at the top of the world. Fifty years after the battle, the demon race is resurfacing, but now with the throne empty, they must fight for the emergence of the new Demon King. Meanwhile, the humans are preparing for the rise of the next hero who will oppose their archenemies. Born as a mere stable boy in a lower-class noble household, Bel has lived his life tending to the noble gardens, pruning roses for banquets he would never attend. He is nothing more than a lowly servant in a world ruled by noble bloodlines and magic. However, his fate changes when a demon attack devastates the household. As flames consume the estate, Bel is about to be executed in front of his master when their leader, a great demon, recognizes him as a member of a powerful species of monsters that had disappeared before the ascent of the previous Demon King. She calls him by his true name, awakening his true blood. The demon, intrigued by this discovery, decides to spare him out of curiosity and pity. Having learned about Bel’s true nature, his master, rather than executing him, chooses instead to bring him into the heart of his household, seeing in him an opportunity to elevate his family’s standing by binding a powerful being to his service. But power cannot be shackled forever, and among them, the one in Bel's blood is the most dangerous.

He was supposed to be great. A rising star on the track, a future paved with scholarships, and the kind of speed that made scouts take notice. But one reckless night changed everything. Coaxed into taking pills at a party, he failed a drug test after the most important race of his life. His dreams? Gone. His reputation? Destroyed. Now, years later, he’s just another guy in a suit, selling houses he can’t afford to buy—a real estate agent with nothing left of the athlete he used to be. Then, in the blink of an eye, everything changes again. Thrown into a harsh, untamedworld, where survival is the only rule, he’s forced to rely on the one thing he thought he lost—his instincts, endurance, and the will to keep moving forward. In this wild land of monsters, ruins, and forgotten power, the finish line is nowhere in sight. But maybe, just maybe, this is his second chance to run toward something real.

After losing her job, Wan Qian unexpectedly inherits the estate of an distant great-uncle—a remote countryside farm. She originally thought she could enjoy a leisurely rural life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. However, she soon discovers that the farm is unbelievably strange—animals on the farm produce crops, whispers rustle from the wardrobe at midnight, and what flows from the faucet is not clear water but thick red liquid… Even more absurd, interns who come to work always mysteriously "resign," leaving only a calm and composed butler who hands her a new labor contract with a smile every day. Faced with all this, Wan Qian optimistically rolls up her sleeves: "Alright then, running a farm isn't easy. I have to find a way to turn a profit." So, using outrageous workplace logic and farm management experience, she tames an eldritch god into a guard dog, hires a midnight butcher as a chef, and even enlists a faceless girl as an accountant… While others tremble in fear, she leisurely patrols the farmland: "No slacking off! If performance targets aren't met, your wages will be docked." Thus, a farm where "humans and ghosts and monsters" beings coexist is officially open for business! —Horror? Not at all. With the right job assignments, every ghost and monster can be a model corporate worker!

For as long as Kaelin "Kae" Thompson can remember, Silverwood Manor has been his quiet home—an ancient estate brimming with forgotten artifacts and dusty books. But when a chilling dream of a shadowy figure named Xarath invades his sleep, Kaelin's world begins to unravel. A mysterious parchment, a cryptic meeting beneath the old oak forest, and whispers of a forgotten prophecy thrust him into a realm of dark magic and buried secrets. Silverwood is no ordinary town. Beneath its peaceful surface lies an ancient power—a fragile boundary between realms, guarded by secrets and shadowed by an ominous force known only as The Corruptor. But Kaelin's arrival in the forgotten corners of Silverwood’s past awakens something even more dangerous: himself. Hunted by unseen enemies and guided by the elusive Lyra and the enigmatic shadow-servant Thalric, Kaelin is forced to uncover the truth of his family’s hidden legacy and the prophecy that ties his fate to the survival of Silverwood itself. In a race against time, Kaelin must master the ancient magic he never knew he possessed, outwit the servants of darkness, and confront the growing chaos unleashed by The Corruptor’s return. But with betrayals lurking in every shadow and power he barely understands thrumming at his fingertips, Kaelin must decide: Will he be Silverwood's savior… or its downfall? "The Lost Realm of Silverwood" is an epic tale of hidden legacies, ancient rivalries, and the courage to face the darkness within. In a world where magic is alive, history is a weapon, and the fate of reality itself hangs in the balance, Kaelin's story is only just beginning.

The woman who lost everything and the man who can have anything he wants… united by revenge. Anna Hyde was a devoted wife, willing to do anything to make her husband happy—except give him a child. When he decides she is no longer useful, he demands a divorce while his family humiliates her and casts her out of their estate. To make matters worse, the only family she has left—her own aunt—disowns her, leaving her with absolutely nothing. Anna believes things can’t possibly get worse, but when it rains, it pours. Marienne, her husband’s mistress, tries to blind and kill her. But this time, luck is on Anna’s side. On the verge of death, she is saved by William Stark, a returning billionaire who offers her a new identity and the chance to take back everything that was stolen from her. With a new face and a new name, Anna is reborn as Chloe Dumas, ready to make those who wronged her pay.

When powerless, unfavoured Princess Soleia was arranged to marry the newly titled Duke Orion Elsher, she assumed they would find love eventually. Who knew that her father would send off her husband mere hours later to fight a war? Soleia was left alone to deal with an impoverished fief, a crumbling estate, and spiteful, vindictive relatives of the Duke who all wished to see her gone. She couldn’t leave― there was nowhere else to go. Soleia desperately wanted her husband to return so he could offer her a helping hand. However, when he did, he returned with Elowyn, a woman he claimed was his true love. A woman hellbent on taking her place as the rightful Duchess, no matter what she had to do to get Soleia out of the way. Mistreated, misunderstood, and miserable, Soleia was eventually thrown out of the estate she helped build. Fortunately, when one door closes, another one opens. Unknown to Soleia, a man more powerful than her husband had been watching her, waiting for the right time to snatch her into his gilded cage. Duke Elsher had been foolish to let go― but the crown prince of Raxuvia wouldn’t make the same mistake. *** [Excerpt] After two long years, Soleia's husband had finally returned home. But he was not alone. “Your Grace,” Soleia said, trying her best to maintain a calm tone, “welcome home. How were your travels?” The man remained silent as he stared at her. “Oh,” the woman that Soleia's husband had brought back said. “I was just wondering where the servants were. No one has come to greet you since your return. Could you please help us bring―” Orion tugged the woman back, protectively holding her in his embrace. His eyebrows furrowed as he glared at Soleia, his sudden action causing the woman to look confused at him. “Orion?” she asked, her hands on his chest to steady herself. “What’s the matter?” “That’s not a servant." In one swift motion, he threw the sword out at Soleia, only to be stopped by a flash of scarlet and the coppery scent of blood. *** Prequel to Stolen by the Rebel King.

Lincoln on the eve of his inauguration for treason”. She looks in the mirror at her original character's flaming lips and waist, and sneers, “A villain? No, I'll make both the North and South kneel and tremble under my skirt!” Clutching the mysterious diary left behind by the original owner in her left hand (which records the dirty dealings between the Southern aristocrats and the Northern politicians), and carrying the three mysterious “adopted sons” in her right hand (which are actually the artificial war machines in the Southern secret laboratories), Eleanor kicked away Alexander Hawthorne, the plantation owner who tries to control her by marriage, and threw the champagne into her hand, and then kicked her out of the room. Hawthorne, who pours champagne on a slave-state legislator's marriage agreement: “I have only two rules for parenting: teach my children to level slave estates with dynamite, and teach them to turn Northern generals with love letters.” --When the New York Times ridiculed her as a “slut stirring up the war through nepotism,” she took her adopted children to burn cotton fields live and force Lincoln to sign the Early Emancipation Proclamation; when Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, which was featured in the Washington Post.

Cassius's lovely maid, Isabelle said in a fluster while she heard lewd sounds escape from her Mistress's room. "No, I'm sorry to say that you can't meet Young Master today, since he's 'helping out' his sister-in-law with some 'favours' in her garden." The innocent Isabelle excused herself as she witnessed her lady's flower being picked, instead of the rest of the flowers in the garden. "I hate to say this sir but Young Master, Cassius is currently guiding Miss Knight in the 'ways of the sword', so you can probably only meet him tomorrow." Isabelle once again blocked the guests from entering, knowing that the sword her Young Master was handling could penetrate a body, but could never wound one.

In the depths of a cursed reflection, truth and deception blur into one. Vivian Sinclair never believed in the supernatural—until the day she moved into Blackthorn Manor, an old estate shrouded in unsettling whispers and forgotten secrets. A long-forgotten mirror hidden within the greenhouse awakens something inside her, something that shouldn’t exist beyond the glass. A shadow of herself stares back, watching, waiting. At first, the visions are subtle—flickers of movement when no one else is there, a whisper of her name in the dead of night. But as the days pass, the haunting presence becomes undeniable. Her reflection begins to move on its own, revealing memories she never lived, secrets she never uncovered, and a version of herself she doesn’t recognize. Sebastian Graves, a scholar obsessed with the manor’s dark past, warns her that some mirrors do more than reflect—they remember. And the one in Blackthorn Manor doesn’t just hold history; it holds something alive. Something that wants out. As the lines between reality and illusion fracture, Vivian realizes she isn't just being haunted—she is being rewritten. The more she resists, the stronger the presence grows, feeding off her fears, her doubts… and her lies. Because the darkest truths aren’t the ones buried in the past. They’re the ones we tell ourselves. And in the end, the mirror never lies. But Vivian might.

It doesn’t matter if people around me point fingers, calling me a scoundrel, or dismiss me as tr*sh. Because… “I’ve got a plan.” “What plan?” “A plan to destroy everything.” There won’t be a second failure. This time, I’ll wipe out all my enemies. …But first, I need to rebuild this damn estate.

Amidst the beauty of the sunrise in Sanur, the dance of the waves in Uluwatu, and the lingering scent of incense at Pura Besakih, Bali holds more than just natural allure—it holds untold stories. Beneath the shadows of ancient temples and the mighty roar of the Indian Ocean, Ni Made Ayu Sarasvati Dewi, a graceful Balinese dancer, is bound by a sacred vow passed down through generations—she must marry the man chosen by her ancestors, a Balinese man selected according to tradition. On this island of the gods, a forbidden love grows between the traces of sand and the whispers of the tropical breeze. In the shimmering city lights of Seminyak, beneath the lush frangipani trees in Ubud, or by the serene shores of Jimbaran, a long-silent heart begins to beat once more. However, Ayu's heart does not belong to the man destined for her. Instead, she is drawn to Daniel Laurante Whitmore, a young heir to a European real estate empire who has come to Bali not only to indulge in its exotic beauty but also to acquire the sacred land where Ayu and her ancestors have lived for centuries. Moreover, he is a photographer, captivated by the island’s rich cultural heritage, capturing its essence through his lens. Their brief encounter ignites an unexpected passion—one that carries both desire and an inescapable curse. When love and tradition collide, Ayu faces an impossible choice: to honor the vow engraved in her heritage or to risk everything for a love deemed forbidden. What begins as a tense confrontation slowly transforms into an undeniable passion. Daniel is drawn not only to the island’s breathtaking beauty but also to Ayu—the woman who fights to protect her legacy from the grasp of his own family’s business. But will the secrets carried by Bali’s whispering winds find their own way? Or will this love remain nothing more than a fleeting echo, lost amid the endless roar of the waves?

The market seemed ripe for growth, and we were eager to get started. However, what we thought would be a straightforward and lucrative venture quickly turned into a nightmare. We fell victim to a sophisticated scam. The fraudulent company promised us high returns on real estate investments, and they seemed convincing, with professional websites and promising testimonials. We made a significant financial commitment nearly $80,000 believing it was a safe and sound investment. But soon after, all communication ceased, and we realized we had been scammed. Our dreams were shattered, and the loss felt unbearable. We feared we had lost everything. In a state of despair, I confided in a close friend from church. After hearing our story, he recommended a service called ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST, claiming they had helped others recover lost funds from online scams. At first, we were skeptical. We had already been burned once, and the idea of trusting another service seemed risky. However, our friend’s assurance gave us a glimmer of hope, so we decided to give it a try. To our relief, ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST proved to be exactly what they promised. From the moment we reached out, they were professional, empathetic, and thorough. Their team worked diligently to investigate our case, keeping us updated throughout the process. It took about five months, but we were absolutely thrilled when most of our money more than $60,000 was successfully recovered. This experience has been a life-changing lesson. We are incredibly grateful for the support and expertise of ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST. They didn’t just recover our money they gave us back our confidence. We are now more cautious and informed in our investment decisions, but we also feel blessed that there are services out there that can help victims of scams reclaim what they’ve lost. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I wholeheartedly recommend ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST . They truly stand by their word and have proven that there is hope, even after what seems like a loss.

The brothers Hiroshi and Hirata Nakamura, the duo known in Japan as “The Punishers” who eliminate criminals of society, died after an explosion aboard a plane. In the Cosmic hyperspace where their souls were kept, a voice contacted them and offered them with a chance for reincarnation by giving them highly strong bodies to live endless lives (unless killed) in another world. Since the new fantasy world where they were to be sent into only accepts 1 soul every 400 years, one of them would have to wait for such years. Hiroshi Nakamura, the one who was sent second later, found out that there is not a trace of his brother in that world upon his arrival. “What happened to you, brother? Did you die while waiting for me?” said Hiroshi in midst of his search. “But no matter what happens, I’m going to find you!” In addition, beyond Hiroshi's understanding, this new fantasy world is governed by so many dangerous, powerful individuals interacting in multiple dynamics. There are a few baring themselves in the daylight while others are hiding behind the shadows with their grand schemes. The story follows the journey and exploits of the charismatic, calm, decisive, ruthless, and venerated Hiroshi as he aspires for the number one spot of being the absolute ruler of the world, while also investigating the disappearance of his younger brother and the mystery behind it. IMPORTANT NOTE: From chapters 19 onwards, I will be uploading them on RoyalRoad.com using the same title of the story, "The 7th" and the same pseudonym "Marecnysse_2001". Thank you!

Fate had never been kind to Anastasia and Bastian. After defying the celestial council, breaking heaven’s laws, and bringing a forbidden child into the world, they were granted only one mercy—the right to live together in the Celestial Realm. It was a compromise, a judgment meant to appease both heaven and hell. But destiny had other plans. The night before their ascension on earth, the Goodwin Family estate was attacked. Demons, warlocks, and creatures from the deepest pits of the underworld tore through their home, forcing Bastian and Anastasia to flee to heaven before they were ready. The world they left behind burned, and what should have been their salvation turned into something far worse. Their child, a being of light and shadow, was the catalyst for a war unlike any before.

The Price for Loving You Nicolas Blackwood had never been the son his father wanted. In a family of powerful alphas, he was an anomaly—an omega, a stain on the legacy his father spent decades building. Weak. Useless. A mere bargaining chip to secure alliances. That was all Adrian Blackwood saw in him. But Nicolas never cared for power, nor did he crave his father’s approval. His heart belonged to something greater—freedom, dance, the thrill of losing himself in movement, and the people who truly loved him. His mother, whose warmth shielded him from his father’s cold expectations. Lachelle, the best friend who never left his side. And Lucas, the boy who once made him believe in love. But the fragile world Nicolas built shatters when his older brother, Nathaniel, is murdered. His father, the man who had barely acknowledged his existence, suddenly turns his gaze on him. And now, Nicolas has a duty to fulfill. His body, his life, his future—none of it belongs to him anymore. He is to be bound to Caleb Montgomery, the son of a powerful business family. A loveless marriage, a cage disguised as duty. His fate is sealed. Until Dominik Nikolayevich Rizzo steps into his life. The last heir of two great mafia dynasties—his Russian father and Italian mother had built an empire together, their love as dangerous as it was legendary. But love wasn’t enough to save them. On the night before his mother’s birthday, Dominik had left their estate to buy her flowers, only to return to a nightmare. His home engulfed in flames, his parents trapped inside. He had screamed for them. He had fought to reach them. But there was nothing left to save. And Adrian Blackwood had been the one who lit the match. For years, Dominik lived for one thing—revenge. He would infiltrate the Blackwood family, rip them apart from the inside, and watch as their empire crumbled beneath his feet. Killing Caleb Montgomery was just another step in his plan. Taking his place at Nicolas' side was another. But nothing could have prepared him for Nicolas himself. The omega was nothing like he expected—defiant, sharp-tongued, and entirely too beautiful. Too captivating. And in one reckless night, one moment of madness neither of them saw coming, Nicolas' heat drives him straight into Dominik's arms. He claims him. And worse—he marks him. Now, they are bound by something stronger than hatred. A connection neither of them wanted. Nicolas, trapped in the arms of the very man who destroyed his life. Dominik, bound to the omega he was meant to ruin. But the deeper Nicolas digs, the more secrets he unearths—truths his family has buried beneath blood and lies. The real reason Nathaniel was murdered. The sins his father tried to erase. And worst of all… The most dangerous man in his life—the one who led him into the darkness, the one who shattered his world— Was the same man he was falling in love with.
