IMPORTANT NOTE: Please be known that this book wouldn't have made it this far without the support my dear writing buddy Rachel E. Canton who is a great writer of SINS OF THE SERAPHIM - https://www.webnovel.com/book/sins-of-the-seraphim_26438336605116805 and Derek J. Perna To Rachel & Derek, Thank you for everything! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the last heir of Ardel lost everything, fate would bring her to her rightful protector. Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night." Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman." --- Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and became celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities. Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her. For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her. Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…

Set in an alternate wizarding world shaped by a matriarchal society, this story reimagines the familiar backdrop of Hogwarts and its surrounding conflicts. Power is inherited through the female line, and pureblood families fiercely guard their legacy amidst growing tensions with Muggleborns. The imbalance in the number of witches and wizards has made pureblood males valuable but objectified commodities, intensifying the social and political struggles within the magical world. At the heart of the story is Arcturus Regulus Black, the reincarnated son of Regulus Black. Carrying memories of a past life, Arcturus refuses to follow in the footsteps of Holly Potter, the female equivalent of the Boy Who Lived. Instead, his ambition is to break free from the constraints of his birthright, gaining power to rewrite his destiny in a society where he is marginalized by virtue of his gender. Arcturus is not alone in his reincarnation. Ronda Weasley, the female reincarnation of Ron, and Serena Prince, the female reincarnation of Severus Snape, navigate their own struggles as they reconcile their former lives with the constraints and expectations of this matriarchal world. The group faces questions of identity, legacy, and loyalty, balancing their memories of the past with the possibilities of the present. Their journey unfolds against a backdrop of political turmoil. Holly Potter, destined to fight Voldemort, plays the central role in a fight that echoes the original timeline but is subtly altered by the presence of the reincarnated souls. Simultaneously, the enigmatic Aurora Malfoy—Draco's older sister and another reincarnated soul—must contend with her family's legacy in this transformed world. Meanwhile, Hogwarts, led by Alba Dumbledore, becomes a battleground of ideologies. Dumbledore, though a figure of wisdom, unconsciously upholds the traditions of the matriarchy, while Gellert Grindelwald rises as a voice for men’s rights, creating an additional layer of conflict. The struggle between these ideologies mirrors the broader fight against Voldemort, adding complexity to the characters’ decisions. In a story that mixes politics, societal critique, and the power of memory, the young protagonists confront questions of whether to preserve the world they now inhabit or risk everything to reshape it. Their choices will define the fate of the wizarding world, testing the limits of friendship, power, and identity in a society where nothing is as it once was. Note, this story will NOT have R18 scenes at least for the first volume, if it then does, there will be a tag and you can pass. To summarize this world, it's a matriarchal version of the Harry Potter world while the muggle world remains the same. With all this shit, there are half a dozen reincarnated people of all age (mostly Hogwarts's students) who will make butterfly effects while trying to adapt to this world, including the MC. I decided to write this book as a study, I wanted to see what would happen if I decided to create parameters according to the book and then I would try adding variables to see the changes. The result is that the world is a matriarchy which thus led me to add parameters to explain the reason as to why it's a matriarchy and then to add seven reincarnated persons who will each add butterfly effects.

My name is Cassius Blackwood, I am the illegitimate son born between the greatest swordsman in the empire, and the master of the Magic Tower. Yes, the one people expected to be a 1-in-a-million genius. As a result, I grew up in a house full of love and kindness despite being illegitimate. That is, until my tenth birthday when I failed my awakening ceremony. You can imagine how people started treating me after that. My parents, who had high hopes for me, abandoned me. After 10 years of training in hopes of awakening, I succeeded. But only as a "systemless hunter." And as we know, it's impossible to succeed as a hunter without a system. When 'The Blackwood Trial' took place, which is meant to determine the next head of house Blackwood, as everyone expected, I was the first to die. So, why did I go back to when I was 10 years old right before my awakening ceremony? *** Tags: #transmigration (the MC isn't the transmigrator) #regression ( the MC is obviously the regressor) #reincarnation #no-harem #romance #singlefemalelead #revenge #evil #cruel #mage #swordsman #returnee #fantasy-empire #dungeons #system( Fake system) #cultivation (done differently) #rarebloodline #action #fantasy #secretidentity join my discord: https://dsc.gg/Rerian long link: https://discord.com/invite/wARbcq8kzG

As they journey through this unknown world, their relationship starts to change. What began as a forced partnership slowly grows into something deeper. They each discover new strengths within themselves and each other. By the time they finally return home, they are left wondering whether they can go back to their old lives or if the journey has changed them forever. *****Excerpt**** "Are you mad?" she exclaimed, her eyes wide as she stared at him. "What do you think you’re doing?" Raphael narrowed his eyes, his jaw tightening. "Don’t speak to me like that again." "And if I do?" she shot back, her voice laced with defiance. "Have you lost your wits? You are speaking to your Duke. No matter the situation, I am still your lord. You will speak to me with respect. Do you understand?" Natalie studied him for a long moment, her gaze unwavering, before a sharp laugh escaped her lips. Raphael’s face darkened, his fists clenched at his sides, ready to strike. "Oh, that was a good one," she said, her voice dripping with mockery. "Keep thinking with that brain of yours, and you’ll get us both killed." "You will regret this when we reach the estate," Raphael growled, his voice low, dangerous. "If we make it to the estate. We won’t get very far if you keep using that foolish brain of yours. Why on earth would you announce to everyone that you’re a duke? What if we get kidnapped again?" "Did you just call my brain foolish?" Raphael's voice rose, his patience fraying. "Yes," she replied, unflinching. "What are you going to do about it?" "You’ll beg for mercy when we return, I'll make sure of it." he warned, his words cold. "You will regret your actions. You will be relieved of your duties and sent back to the slums where you belong." "That’s unnecessary," she muttered, a bitter edge to her voice. "I quit. I’d rather die than spend another moment in your presence. I hope you know how to brew tea because I am no longer your maid, Raph." Raphael’s eyes widened, his face a mask of fury. "What did you call me?" "Raph," she said simply, her lips curling into a smirk. "What are you going to do about it?" Raphael froze, his entire body tense, as though he were about to strike her. But then, with a visible effort, he turned away and sat near the fire, his fists unclenching. Natalie smirked, watching him closely. "Yeah, that’s what I thought. Here, you are nothing. So the sooner you drop that arrogance, the better for you."

It was raining heavily at midnight and the birds sitting on the trees started flying towards the sky due to the loud thunder. In mansion, a 36-year-old man was searching for something inside a large deserted mansion, going from one room to another. The man was wearing black clothes. There was no one else except that man in such a big and luxurious mansion. There were lines of worry on the man's face and he was searching for something. Even after searching every corner of the room, the man did not find that thing. Seeing this, the man immediately went to the fourth floor of the mansion. Just then his phone started ringing. Seeing someone's name on the cellphone screen, the man immediately picked up the phone without wasting time and heard a loud and angry voice from the other side. "What happened Jack?! Did you find the box or not?" Hearing the man's voice, Jack said nervously, "No! Sir, but don't worry, I will find that box very soon and bring it to you!" "Finish this work quickly, and yes, if you come without that box, I will not leave you alive!" Saying this, the phone gets disconnected from the other side. Jack wipes the sweat from his forehead and walks towards the corridor. Then suddenly a foul smell spreads all around. "What kind of smell is this? Maybe it is the smell of a rat being killed!" Saying this, Jack moves forward. While going from the corridor to the other side, many black shadows were also walking behind Jack. While walking, Jack goes inside a room, then suddenly the door leading outside closes with a loud bang and one by one all the lights go off. And darkness engulfs all around. Seeing this, Jack immediately turns on the torch light of his phone and says in panic, "Who is it?" Then a scary growling sound starts coming. Something like water was falling on Jack's head from above. Seeing this, when Jack put his hand on his head, his whole hand became red with blood.
