The Blade Of The Guardians

Ashen Blade: Legacy of the Forgotten

Ashen Blade: Legacy of the Forgotten is a dystopian cyberpunk thriller set in a future where the world has been reshaped by the unchecked power of corporate dynasties known as the Keiretsu (系列). These massive conglomerates have replaced nations and governments, molding the world through commerce, warfare, and control. In this new age, power is everything, and survival is earned—not guaranteed. The social structure is brutal, built on a rigid hierarchy where strength and honor are the currency of survival. At the top are the Kurokenshi (黒剣士)—elite warriors who maintain their humanity despite advanced augmentations. Beneath them, the Integrated rely on cybernetic enhancements to survive, while the Unshackled, those without enhancements, struggle to cling to a dying existence. The lowest rung, however, is occupied by the Glitched—individuals who should not exist. Born outside corporate control or as failed prototypes, they are anomalies—threats in a world that cannot afford mistakes. The story follows Ash Atsuyuki, the last of the Shirogiri clan, a once-proud bloodline of elite warriors now reduced to fighting for survival in a world that has moved beyond honor and tradition. His family’s name is little more than a relic, a fading echo of an era when power was earned through steel, discipline, and the ancient martial codes of Kurogami (黒神)—the planet that birthed his ancestors. With his father gone, his mother dead, and his grandfather clinging to life, Ash walks the crumbling streets of a city ruled by corporate power and surveillance, where history and bloodlines no longer matter. Ash’s journey is one of reclaiming not just his heritage, but the very essence of power. In a world where only the strong survive, Ash must rise above the ruins of his family’s name, rediscover the forgotten martial techniques of the Black Gods, and reclaim his place among the elite. But in a world dominated by corporate overlords and enhanced warriors, can a fallen bloodline ever truly rise again? This story is officially being posted on RoyalRoad.com under the account REDN_CHRONICLES.

God Of Death POV: Legendary Guardians

"The only thing certain in life Is death." ____ WSA 2025 Entry ____ I was born a worthless peasant in a magical world where one's talent determines one's worth, but I was happy. I had loving parents and a little sister—she meant the world to me. But they took them all from me. They said my father offended a noble and they killed him and my mother. Our uncles and aunt turned their back on Lucy and me—afraid they might offend the noble by taking us in. I am only fifteen, for god sake, and Lucy is just ten! Forget about me, just take care of her, please! This town abandoned us. This kingdom abandoned us. This empire abandoned us. It's cold out here but I guess it doesn't matter since I'll be dead soon. Lucy left to be with Mum and Dad—I held her in my arms while it happened. Soon, I'll join them, and all this pain will end... "You have suffered enough, take my hand and I will give you a way out." The voice came from the most beautiful man I have ever seen. His beautiful face looked at me with tender eyes—I felt the warmth Lucy, and I needed these past 3 months. But it's too late, I don't want a way out. I just want to die and rest, this life is too cruel! "What if I tell you we can bring Lucy, your Mum and Dad? Would you take my hand?" What?! "While we do that, we can avenge their death. You can make those nobles pay. All these and more I offer; just take my hand." Who are you?

A Blade Against Fate

No bloodline. No prophecy. No gods. Only will. In the kingdom of Azmoria, where noble blood dictates power and destiny, Aldric is nothing—an orphan abandoned at St. Ardin’s Haven, a nameless street rat fighting for survival in the ruthless city of Blackreach. He has no divine gifts, no legendary lineage—only his wits, his fists, and an unyielding dream: to carve his own place in a world that refuses to acknowledge him. Forced into the shadows of the underworld, Aldric learns the art of survival from The Broken Daggers, a notorious gang led by the cunning and battle-hardened Edric Ironcrest, a fallen noble who despises the ruling class. When a fateful decision leads Aldric to infiltrate Castle Ravenshade, he stumbles upon a secret that could shake the entire realm. But a single mistake costs him everything—he is caught. Instead of execution, Aldric’s defiance intrigues Lord Darius Valmont, the ruler of Azmoria, and Master Lucian, a former Swordsmaster of the empire. In him, they see potential—a mind sharpened by hardship, a survivor unbroken by fate. But potential alone means nothing. As rebellion brews and powerful forces move unseen, Aldric is thrust into a brutal game of war, politics, and deception. He will either be crushed beneath the weight of fate or rise, blade in hand, to defy it. Because in a world where strength is law and destiny is dictated by kings and conquerors, Aldric will prove that even the most insignificant can wield a blade against fate.
