In the kingdom of Blunderwood, where dangerous beasts roam and knights only care about their Instagram-worthy dragon fights, Jasper discovers an uncanny talent—he can tame any creature using the most ridiculous methods imaginable.

No romance, straight action Miles Jorden has always been unlucky. In his everyday life, disaster seems to stalk him—jobs fall apart, accidents find him at every turn, and even the simplest plans go awry. Yet, there’s one place where luck never fails him: the gaming table. As a Dungeon Master for his group of friends, Miles rolls dice with uncanny precision, his natural 20s earning him a reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the tabletop world. After a particularly bad day—fired from his job and dumped on the same afternoon—Miles decides to lose himself in preparing his next campaign.

As the overweight daughter of the Sutton family, Kelsie is an eyesore to everyone. Her father can't wait to get rid of her, his wife and their daughter daughter too. The man she's supposed to marry can't stand her and looks for ways to end their engagement, all to no avail. But on the day she's to get married, she finds out she's pregnant. Her fiancé finally uses the opportunity to break off his engagement to her and her father sends her packing to her aunt in another city never to return after she refuses to remove the baby like he asked her to. Six years later, she returns to the city to claim her position as the heiress of her mother's fortune, which her father and his wife and daughter has been living off of all these years. But not as the overweight duckling everyone expected, but as a stunning, glamorous woman. Behind her are three children: a daughter who looks exactly like her, a handsome son, and another handsome son who looks too much like the most powerful man in the city. Unexpectedly, the dimwit, her fiancé who broke off their engagement comes begging for them to get married like they were supposed to. "So what if you're stunning now and lost all that weight? Everyone knows you used to be an ugly duckling. Who knows the underhanded ways you resorted to to lose weight. Forget our past and marry me again." The woman looked at him and snickered. "Aren't you the heir of the Baker family? Why would you marry a fatso like me?" The man huffed and said arrogantly. "Hmph! Do whatever you want. But I assure you that no one in Silicon Valley will want to marry a woman saddled with bastard children" The triplets came up on his face and snorted in disdain. "Who's this? Where is daddy when a man like this harasses mommy?” “I told you he wasn’t worth her. Hurry up and call him quickly.” The man who was in the middle of a conference call ended it as soon as he heard the news and went straight to where she was. “Are you hitting on my wife? Bastards? Are you calling the beloved children of Jett Adler bastards?” “Eh-what? Jett Adler? The most powerful man in the city? How is that even possible!”

Ji Fengxie never signed up for this nonsense. One moment, he was enjoying the sweet misery of his crappy apartment; the next, he woke up in a world full of sword-swinging lunatics yelling about “immortal cultivation.” Exciting? Not really. Because instead of being the chosen one, Ji Fengxie found himself in The Broken Sword Sect—a sect so irrelevant it made roadside inns look like prestigious institutions. Forget talent, treasure, or even a cool backstory. Ji Fengxie had none of it. In fact, his job description seemed to involve two things: getting kicked around by stronger disciples and being the guy they send to die first in dangerous missions. The sect was pure chaos. Disciples fought over scraps of resources, Elders plotted against each other, and Ji Fengxie? He just wanted to avoid getting chopped by someone’s random sword technique. His only tools for survival were his brain, his gut instincts, and an uncanny ability to look like he knows what he’s doing. But hey, even side characters can dream big, right? Ji Fengxie wasn’t here to just scrape by. If the universe wanted to play dirty, he’d play dirtier. He already has a step-by-step plan in hand; Step one: figuring why bald people mad. Step two: outsmart bald people with a flying sword. Step three: ...try not to die.

– – THIS IS JUST A DRAFT AND AS SUCH AM NOT TAKING IT SERIOUSLY HOWEVER IF YOU THINK ITS GOOD SURPPOT ME WITH POWERSTONES IF I GET ENOUGH I WOULD REWRITE IT AND ENSURE ITS PROFESSIONALLY WRITTEN (^_^) PS— A book which I am, actually taking seriously is called The Gravity Villain's Silent Return if you enjoy my writting check it out :) I guarantee it won't be a waste of your time :} Title: The Butcher of Magicians Genre: Action, Fantasy, Manipulative, Obsessive, Gore, Antihero --- Synopsis: In the world of Magaeth, magic reigns supreme. The most powerful magicians are not only respected but feared, holding unimaginable influence over all who cross their paths. At the top of this hierarchy, a select few wield immense power, their strength practically untouchable. Yet beneath this veil of strength and prestige, an unseen predator lurks in the shadows—a man with no magic, yet an uncanny ability to manipulate and destroy those who are. Ezra Drax is not your typical hero or villain. He’s neither driven by a thirst for power nor vengeance. Ezra is a hunter, and his prey? The strongest magicians in the world. A former swordsman with no magical abilities, Ezra has mastered the art of infiltration, psychological manipulation, and most disturbingly, the thrill of the kill. He is an enigmatic figure, charming yet sinister, blending in with his surroundings while quietly making his way toward his true goal: to destroy the very magicians who believe they are untouchable. When Ezra infiltrates Thalorian Academy, a prestigious school for the world's elite magicians, he presents himself as nothing more than a humble, curious swordsman seeking to improve his skills. But beneath his calm and unassuming exterior, Ezra is on a far darker mission—one kill at a time. He begins with Orland, an arrogant and ambitious magician at the academy, feeding him lies and deceit to fuel his obsession with power, until it is too late for Orland to turn back. Ezra’s calculated manipulation leads him to other powerful targets, each kill more brutal and bold than the last. Ezra’s manipulations are a work of art—his victims don’t see it coming until it’s too late. The academy’s leadership is soon aware of the mysterious deaths but cannot pinpoint the killer. As Ezra continues his ruthless pursuit, he remains several steps ahead, always in control, his own goals hidden behind the façade of a mere observer. But there’s a growing tension. Ezra’s increasing recklessness—fueled by his twisted obsession with killing strong magicians—puts him on a dangerous path, one that could lead to his exposure. With every victim, his legend grows, but so does the danger of his undoing. In a world where power and survival are everything, Ezra’s greatest challenge may not be the magicians he targets, but the temptation to push his obsession to its limits. The Butcher of Magicians is a dark, action-packed tale of manipulation, betrayal, and the chilling pursuit of an unrelenting predator. As Ezra carves his bloody path through the academy, readers will be swept into a world where nothing is what it seems, and the line between hunter and hunted blurs into nothingness. Will Ezra’s thirst for the kill consume him, or will his obsession be his ultimate downfall? One thing is certain: in a world ruled by magic, it’s not always the strongest who survive but the cunning A/NThis takes a lot of effort and time to make compared to my other novels which don't involve as much deception so unless it does well I would not be posting more chapters as this is purely experimental

Once a towering figure of power and prestige, he now faces the crumbling remnants of his empire, his love, and his identity. The love of his life, Han Xue whose heart was once tender, is now shielded by indifference, hardened by the wounds of their fractured marriage and his mistakes. Yet, just as the darkness threatens to consume him, destiny offers him an unexpected opportunity—not as mercy, but as a challenge. This time, Zi Haoran is not only fighting for his wife’s love. He’s reclaiming his throne, his honor, and vengeance against those who conspired against him. As newfound strength surges within him, powers he never imagined begin to awaken, reshaping him into a man even he cannot recognize. As Zi Haoran embraces this path, his every step seems guided by an uncanny certainty, his power growing sharper and his charisma more irresistible. With each encounter, Han Xue finds it harder to ignore the man who now stands before her—charming, persistent, and surprisingly vulnerable. --------------------- Zi Haoran stepped into the living room just as Han Xue tried to leave. His hand shot out, catching her wrist gently but firmly. She turned to glare at him. “Why now, Zi Haoran?” she demanded, her voice sharp. “Why try to fix what you shattered?” He pulled her closer, his gaze steady. “Because,” he said softly, “some things are worth breaking myself to rebuild.” Before she could respond, he tugged her down onto his lap, his arms circling her securely. She gasped, her eyes widening as she struggled against him. “Let me go!” “Not until you hear me out,” he said firmly, his teasing grin softening his words. “Why do you keep trying?” she asked, her voice exasperated as she pushed at his chest. “Because you’re worth it,” he replied, his confidence maddening. “And, let’s face it, you’ve missed me.” Her cheeks flushed as she shoved harder. “You’re delusional.” “Maybe,” he murmured, leaning closer, his breath brushing her cheek, “but you didn’t say I was wrong.” Flustered, she finally broke free, stepping back as she glared at him. “You’re wasting your time. I don’t feel the same anymore,” she snapped. Without warning, he leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek, his voice low and playful as he stepped back. “You’ll feel again. You’ll see… I’ve only just begun.” Her hand flew to her cheek, her eyes blazing with confusion and anger. She turned abruptly and fled the room, leaving Zi Haoran standing there, his smirk fading as he watched her retreat, bewildered by the turmoil he’d stirred. ---------------------- What confounds her most is not just his persistence, but the fire in his eyes—something deeper, as if he knows more than he should, perhaps even the secrets hidden in time itself. As Han Xue struggles to reconcile this transformed man with the one she once knew, the world shifts around them. His newfound powers, coupled with his sharp mind and commanding presence, turn him into a man of unparalleled strength. Every step he takes to win her heart back is also a step toward reclaiming the world he let slip through his fingers. With destiny pulling the strings, will Han Xue’s resistance hold, or will her resolve melt before the man she once loved—and the one he is becoming? One thing is certain: destiny desires nothing less than complete metamorphosis, for love, power, and vengeance.
