For centuries, humanity and demons have clashed in a war that defies time itself. With the help of the Devas, gods of light, humanity once found hope of peace. But the Demon Lord’s final curse shattered that balance, and now the eternal battle has spilled into the modern world, threatening everything once again. Aramiya Ryuu thought he was just a normal high school student—until the day his quiet life began to unravel. Strange occurrences, unsettling visions, and a mysterious flame awakening within him pull Ryuu into a dangerous conflict he never asked for.

But as Ryuu fights to protect those he loves, he begins to uncover the secrets of his past—secrets that could reshape his destiny and tip the scales of the eternal war. With the fate of humanity hanging by a thread and powerful forces closing in, Ryuu must decide: will he rise as the hero the world needs, or will he be consumed by the flames of his own power?

What if the balance of the world depended on a single awakening? In the ancient land of Bathalumea, a once-mighty civilization now fractured by time and turmoil, whispers of a forgotten power begin to stir. Haraya, the fabled ability to shape reality itself, was long thought to be a myth, buried alongside the sovereign bloodlines that once wielded it. But Haraya was never truly gone—it only waited. Now, as a new age dawns, the power begins to resurface. Across the sacred grounds of Bathalan, through the storm-laden waves of the Bagyuna Ocean, and into the shadowed ruins of Gintara, the resurgence of Haraya sends ripples through a divided world. The balance between order and chaos begins to tip, drawing the attention of powerful factions who see in it the key to domination—or destruction. Among them, a descendant of the lost power emerges. Haunted by tragedy and driven by the dream of rebuilding what was lost, they find themselves entwined with Haraya’s awakening. But as the forces of greed, fear, and ambition converge, they must decide: will they wield Haraya to heal a broken world, or will it unravel under the weight of those who seek to claim it? From the volcanic heights of Kaluyara to the enchanted forests of Aralyon, and into the unfathomable depths of the Diwang Abyss, Bloodline: Sovereign’s Awakening weaves a tale of hope, sacrifice, and reckoning. As ancient powers clash and the threads of fate tighten, one truth becomes clear: the return of Haraya may save the world—or destroy it forever. "Bloodline: Sovereign’s Awakening" is a tale of reckoning and renewal, where a power lost to time could unite a fractured world—or be extinguished forever, leaving its promise unfulfilled.

His strides are long and confident, heading in my direction like he knows exactly what he wants. He stops before me, and my head tips back. "How is that possible?" His voice drops to a rumbling whisper. Now that he was close to me, the burning ache deep within started to throb and palpitate. His body tensed, and then he was on me, nose against my neck, inhaling deeply, one hand on the side of my hair, pinning me in place with his hips. My head tilts back, unable to stop myself from giving into his touch, exposing my neck more to him, his chest rumbling as he licks the side of my skin, kissing and nipping, placing his scent over me. I am completely and utterly at his mercy. I vaguely hear material ripping, and then his warm hand cups me. "You're not finished yet," his voice is thick and deep, and it shoots straight to my tingling, pulsing core. His touch is almost possessive, and I nearly beg him to do whatever he wants with me. "Should I make it better?" His whisper is a caress against my ear before he nips the lobe, a bite promising that this would not be tender. - Daily chapter uploads -

Even within very little light, Master exuded a commanding presence; his stance was upright, and yet, he was soft enough to have the little pink tassel still on his waist. Just as she reached the end, Master took a few steps forward and raised his hand “Could I have the pleasure to escort you, Miss Asano?” Hatsuki’s eyes were expressive as they blinked a few times, staring to the core. Her hands, which were carefully pinching the hem of the skirt, left loose and stared at the Master for a few seconds. “You may, Sir…” She placed her hands on Yuki’s cold palms.

Synopsis: "What do you do when given the power of creation itself, only to be forced into an ultimatum—wipe out everything or let the ones you love be erased?" For Lucian Raizel Delmar, the answer is simple: Neither. In a world ruled by Syndicates, where Rift-born monstrosities known as Phantasms run rampant and humanity's survival depends on the elite Wave Riders, Lucian is nothing but an anomaly. A boy with no Aether Core, no Gift, and no future—just another weakling in a system that only values power. Until, on the eve of his departure from Genesis Academy, something inside him wakes up. A presence. A force. A Sea deeper than existence itself. Suddenly, the prey becomes the predator. The one who was overlooked becomes the one who cannot be ignored. As Lucian's abilities evolve at a terrifying rate, secrets buried beneath reality begin to surface—secrets about the Genesis Sea, the Rifts, and the gods that watch from above. The world isn’t as it seems. And neither is he. Now, hunted by enemies seen and unseen, Lucian refuses to bow to fate. If the world wants him to be a pawn, he’ll become the hand that tips the board. If the gods dare to force his hand, he’ll remind them why monsters fear the deep. "They thought they could choose for me. Control me. Shape my path. But the thing about tides?" "They don’t ask for permission. They consume."

Instead, nations wield an army of "mages"-individuals enhanced with brain-implanted chips at the age of 18, capable of wielding devastating power. They are no longer just soldiers or weapons. They are the new nuclear arsenal, a force so potent they have become both humanity's greatest threat and its most precarious safeguard. As the world teeters on the edge of a new kind of destruction. Nations cling to an uneasy cold war, with mages standing as the only deterrent against total annihilation. But how long can this delicate balance hold before the scales tip?

Alongside Yonsil, a fierce sorceress whose destiny intertwines with his own, he must wield both the light and the abyss, seeking the fabled Blade of Suns and Shadows—a relic said to tip the balance of fate itself. But as old gods stir, ancient empires crumble, and unseen forces manipulate the tides of war, Jesse and his companions must confront not only the armies of the Dark Lord but the very nature of destiny itself.

[WSA 2025 ENTRY] I've revamped this book multiple times, trying to get it to be where I want. Asher Blackwood has died 999,999 times, each life ending in tragedy, triumph, or torment. But his one-millionth life was different. That life was brutally cut short by forces beyond his control, forcing him into an unexpected reincarnation. Now, thrust into a new existence, Asher finds himself hunted by demons, challenged by the ruthless Lords of Hell, and trained by enigmatic demigods who see him as both a weapon and a pawn in a cosmic war. Asher’s journey is no longer just about breaking the cycle of rebirth—it’s about survival. Armed with the skills and knowledge of a million lifetimes, he must navigate a treacherous landscape where the lines between ally and enemy blur. The demigods who train him demand loyalty, but their motives are shrouded in secrecy. The demons who pursue him seek to claim his soul for their own dark purposes. And the Lords of Hell, ancient and merciless, view Asher as the key to tipping the balance of power in their favor. As Asher battles his way through hellscapes and mortal realms alike, he begins to uncover the truth about his curse: it was never just about him. His endless reincarnations are tied to a prophecy that could either save or doom all of existence. With each step closer to the truth, Asher must confront the darkest corners of his own soul and decide whether he will embrace his destiny or defy it. Discord @: https://discord.gg/CTt4KzYp

College was like a wake-up call for most people. Especially the likes of Christopher Owen, who spent the rest of his high school years messing around and pining for the boy he never had. Having had a frustrating high school year, he decided to dedicate himself to his studies in college.   He flew many miles away from home, changed his looks, and hid his real identity from everyone.  His plans were simple: study hard, pass well, no dating.

He had not moved an inch from that position since he got confessed to. But if one looked closely, they would notice how red his face was, up to the tips of his ears. He suddenly chuckled to himself. "That idiot," he muttered, looking at the door the other had taken.
