Joy To The Newborn King

The Blade King's New Life at Hearthwood Haven tells the story of a legendary warrior who retires and disguises himself as a humble traveler at a struggling orphanage. He quietly trains the orphans, teaching them through everyday tasks, while pretending to be just a simple man. “I’m just good with my hands… and maybe a bit of luck,” he says after effortlessly handling a group of thugs, hiding his true skills. As the orphans grow stronger, they attract unwanted attention from powerful groups. When a greedy merchant threatens the orphanage, the Blade King laughs, “Oh, they want protection? I think we’re fine with a bit of… unexpected weather.” His calm demeanor hides his deadly skills, but soon his true identity begins to be questioned. With the orphanage facing greater dangers, Elya, one of the orphans, confronts him: “You’re not just a guy with ‘good hands,’ are you?” The Blade King smiles, “Well, maybe just a little more than that.” The orphans must rise to defend their home, using everything they’ve learned. The story blends action, humor, and mentorship as the orphans discover the true legacy of their mysterious caretaker.

In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.

Here is governed by a Cosmic being known simply as the World. Over seeing planets called Realms the World crowns kings to rule and chooses only those with the potential to join the Primordial regime. Every hundred years each who are crowned are given something called the King's Test. Since the World does not personally take part in this test they summon a champion from the Realms with the same potentials as the Kings. They are King Slayer warriors with strong power and skill are chosen to either die showing a king's potential, or kill the king to make way for a new one. This particular test is different.

The newest King Slayer is one who is not only powerful, but carries a Thread of Necessity with a destiny to bring great change to the Realms. All the World wants is for the wicked Kings to fall and clean the slate. The King Slayer wants power and freedom.

'Three years of love turned to lies. A Luna’s destiny shattered. Grieving a stolen child and scars that run deeper than skin, I made my choice: escape the pack or die in their grip. My revenge will be as fierce as the beast within me.' 'Hiding from my pack, I served the ruthless Lycan King. His offer was simple—one night in exchange for saving lives. But one night became a battle of hearts, and I can’t lose again—not even to love.' The Lycan King, Fenrir Lycros—the most bloodthirsty, ruthless ruler to ever lead the werewolves with an iron fist—made me his personal maid. It was the most dangerous role I could have, where even the slightest mistake could cost me my life. But no one from my past would think to look for me here. “Always be submissive, don’t speak unless spoken to, don’t listen, don’t see anything, don’t disturb the Lycan or you will die,” were the simple rules I followed. I thought I was doing well—until one day, the King made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. “Do you want me to save those people? Then give yourself to me tonight. Be my woman. I desire you, and I know you feel the same. Just once, Raven, only once…” But it wasn’t just once. Passion turned into something deeper, something neither of us could deny. That cold, untamable man had somehow conquered my heart as well. However, when the past returned to haunt me and the truth about my birth came to light, I faced another choice: run from the Lycan King or wait for his mercy. “I’m sorry, but this time, I won’t lose my pups again—not even for you, Fenrir Lycros.”

This was finally it. My death. I felt all the air squeeze out of my lungs until I heard it - the deep, hoarse voice that sent chills down my spine. "Stop the execution," the king said with a warning edge that even a fool couldn't miss. Damian's face twisted with surprise that barely concealed his fury at the King's words. "Your Highness," he repeated, masking his irritation with a shallow bow, "This is the execution we spoke about a while ago that involved the treason." From his facial expression, I could tell he felt the need to state that. The king's gaze turned steely, cutting through Damian's attempt at justification. "Why aren't your guards backing down?" he asked, his voice dripping with authority that left murmurs in the crowd. "Or have you forgotten who commands this realm, Alpha Damian?" "Penelope Neville will be taken into my custody..." He declared. "Any attempt to go against my order or interfere will be met with swift and severe punishment worse than death."

The world of the ones who destroyed their home. The world of the demons. Kiva, who never believed in the existence of demons, now has to live in a world full of them. They've taken her family from her and thus she harbors a hatred, vowing to take her revenge and kill the one responsible for the destruction of her world: Leonis Rein; supreme ruler of the demon world. Leonis is a man who doesn't believe in love. He believes in taking possession of whatever catches his attention… And she did. He meets Kiva, and her aggressive, persistent nature draws him to her. Slowly, Leonis starts harboring an unhealthy obsession for Kiva. Kiva would do any and everything to put a knife in the heart of Leonis, or die doing so. But Leonis doesn't plan on letting death take her. At least not yet. *** Excerpt Holding both my hands tightly together behind me with just one of his own, Leonis pressed his broad chest upon my back as I wriggled and try to get out of his stronghold. A gesture I knew was futile because he was strong, very strong. "Run if you like." His whisper sounded next to my left ear, and I wished to deny it, I wished to tell myself I don't feel it, but I do. I feel a certain tingle every time this demon is this close to me. "I will pursue you. Hide if you must, I shall find you, and die if you choose, I shall make death cough your soul back into your cold body." I knew it. He will never let me go.

Oh, where do I even begin with this epic tale of the world of the four realms? Let me paint you a picture of a world beyond your wildest imagination, a world created by not just one, but Six almighty Gods, over a billion years ago! The Six Almighty Gods created Arcana, the realm of the Gods. Olympia, the realm of the Celestials, who were children of the Gods. Lyra, an empty realm. And the Abyss, the realm of the dead. Now, let's talk about Lyra, the third realm. Picture this, a vast and empty realm, devoid of any life. But then, the Six Gods didn't just leave it empty, they created not one, not two, but eight different races of lower beings to inhabit it! Can you even fathom the sheer scale of creativity and imagination it must have taken to create such diverse and fascinating creatures? We have Monsters, Demons, Elves, Giants, Humans, Dwarves, Fairies, and Beasts, all living together in Lyra. Our story focuses on Jordan, the lazy genius second prince of the mighty Wolf clan. After leaving the Underground Tower - his home for 21 years, he arrives at the Wolf clan city to take over as leader, but instead, he unites all the fifteen monster clans under him. And with that he created the most powerful empire on the continent, The Northern Empire. When other races discovered the new nation of monsters, one human kingdom decided to wage war against them, thinking they were a new and weak kingdom. This war sets off a chain reaction that triggers the Great Change - a series of events that transform the world in ways both destructive and evolutionary. But the new Empire was in no way weak. Jordan and his empire went to war on the human kingdom and three of the six demon lords. Jordan used this war to solidify the standing of his Empire in the continent and gain authority among the Kings and Queens of the Mavis continent.

Now Jordan must rally not just the monsters, but all other five races: Elves, Giants, Humans, Dwarves and Fairies, together and face against the powerful demon army. War, death, and destruction ensue, and amidst the chaos, Jordan finds himself at the center of it all.
