Last Christmas

In a world shattered by the rise of the Others—elves, orcs, dwarves, and vampires—humanity has fallen to the lowest rung of existence. Once-mighty empires are now scattered tribes, clinging to the ruins of their former glory. Without mana cores, humans are powerless against the overwhelming magic and strength of their conquerors. Hadrian is just a boy, born into a broken Greece where warriors fight with bronze shields against iron and sorcery. Captured on a blood-soaked battlefield, he is dragged into a life of slavery under the orcs, where survival is a daily struggle and escape is a distant dream. But Hadrian is different. Deep within him lies a secret—something that defies the natural order, something even the Others fear. He is one of the Marked, a child of prophecy, bearing the potential to change the fate of humanity. Yet, power comes at a cost, and the line between savior and destroyer is razor-thin. As alliances are forged and enemies multiply, Hadrian must navigate a world of blood, magic, and betrayal. Can he rise from the ashes of his people’s ruin, or will he be consumed by the darkness within?

It was supposed to be a night like any other, but when Ezekiel Kane stumbled into a cursed ritual on Christmas Eve, the world as we know it shattered. He never meant to open it—never meant to unleash the darkness that had been sealed away for millennia. But some powers are too terrible to be contained forever, and the Devil’s breath—an ancient, apocalyptic force—was waiting for the right moment to break free. That moment is now. The night sky bleeds with blood-red clouds, and the earth trembles as unspeakable creatures rise from the abyss. Ancient gods descend to reclaim what is theirs—humanity’s last breath. The dead walk again, and the world is drowning in its own terror. There is no safety. There is no escape. As Ezekiel becomes the unwitting vessel of this cosmic nightmare, his body and soul are torn apart by forces beyond comprehension. His connection to the Book of Shadows gives him power—but that power comes at a price. The line between man and monster blurs as he struggles to control the hellish abilities coursing through his veins, knowing that every use of his power brings him closer to becoming the very thing he fears. Haunted by the ghosts of those he’s damned and stalked by a god who seeks to consume him, Ezekiel is dragged deeper into a nightmare where sanity is the first casualty, and death is only the beginning. With the help of Mara, a mysterious, fierce ally hiding secrets of her own, Ezekiel must fight to survive against horrors that defy all logic. But the gods are not the only threat. There are darker things waiting—things that were never meant to walk this earth. As the night grows colder and the horrors mount, Ezekiel realizes the truth: the Devil’s breath isn’t just the death of the world—it’s the birth of something far worse. A reckoning is coming. The sky will burn. The earth will crack. And when the last breath is drawn, no one will be left standing.

Magic is the energy that comes from our souls. It creates everything in this world, filling human hearts with the desire to live.

This is the story of a woman and her thirst for power and control. The way to show how evil she can be and how she realized everything she believed was nothing but a play of a bad fate. After everything she's done. After everything she's lost. She's angry and mourning, two deathly combination that sure to have an epic ending. And now she's back with a brand new story to write. How will she decide to run her second chance at life? *** "Why are you doing this?" his questions always straight to the point, but I don't have to answer in the same manner. He shouldn't know the reason why I'm doing this, not yet. "What do you mean?", I ask back with a tint of boredom. I have to hide well. "We could be happy together. You know I only have my eyes on you." I know, I wanted to say that to him. But this is not the same world I used to and I'm not the same old me. At the very least, I have to do this to repay all the things you've done for me. "You have no idea what you're saying, Cameron. Please give me some time to think." I turn my back to him, to the crown prince of the Loudrean Empire. "What's all this nonsense you've spouting since earlier? Give me explanation, Nina. What is going on?" his soft tone mixed with worries really tug at my heart but I know I couldn't delay this any longer. This is the best solution for him. Even if he doesn't think the same, I would still continue with this plan. I will destroy all of them. I will avenge your death along with my death. And I cannot do that while I'm standing beside you. I cannot ruin your second life as well. This is all on me. "Canina Rosemary, I demand you to look at me and answer me!" His sudden command jerk me back to reality. I look at him with a newfound thought that maybe, he's changed as well. Could it be? No, that could not be. I'm the only one that could remember our past life. Maybe the change of my decision would be the cause of his change? I lower my head with my hand on my chest and speak with utmost regret as I can, "Your highness, please forgive this humble subject, for I cannot give you the answer you're looking for. I will be happy to receive the suitable punishment for my inability to give you the right answer." Silence followed the answer I gave him, that I started to wonder if he's still standing in the same room. Light footsteps followed by his hand caught on my peripheral sight and I dare to look up to see what he's about to do. He cupped my face softly with his hands and I could only stare at him, speechless. Sky blue eyes staring back at me, and I could see what they're trying to convey through. No, please don't say it to me now. Please, do not do this. As if he understood what I was trying to say through my pleading eyes, he just smiled sadly and say what I'd dreadful to hear the most. "I love you, Nina. I'd hate to see the one I love lower their head in front of me. Please do not do that, ever." *** Hi everyone. This is my first attempt at historical story with an empire as a background. Hope you guys enjoy and please don't forget to comment and vote.
