Hiroyuki Sawano Dragon Rises

In a world where celestial bodies dictate the fate of empires, a dark omen casts its shadow across the land—the rise of the Black Sun. As this unnatural eclipse lingers in the sky, magic begins to twist, kingdoms tremble, and the balance of power shifts dangerously toward chaos. Elias Varkas, a disgraced knight branded a traitor, wanders the wastelands, seeking redemption for a crime he did not commit. Lirien Caelthar, a rogue mage, discovers that her magic is changing, warping into something terrifying yet powerful. Prince Kaelen Veynor, heir to a crumbling empire, is thrust into a deadly political game as factions vie for control, claiming the Black Sun as a divine sign of their right to rule. As dark cults rise, old gods stir, and forgotten prophecies unravel, these three are drawn together by fate—or perhaps something far more sinister. Their journey will take them to the heart of the ancient world, where the truth behind the Black Sun awaits. But uncovering its secrets may cost them everything, for the Black Sun does not merely herald destruction—it offers a choice. Will they resist its pull and fight for the world as it was? Or will they embrace the darkness and forge something new from the ashes? The Black Sun Rises is a dark fantasy epic of power, destiny, and the price of reshaping fate itself.

The only problem is, neither of them know how.

Craig Luis lived an ordinary life until he was stabbed to death-only to awaken in a new world filled with magic. Reincarnated as the last human bearer of the Dragon Soul in the world of Norkiya, he found himself in Silver Lake-a feared resting ground for monsters. There, the most powerful dragon, Fraener, lay dormant, awaiting his end. "Wait... where am I? Silver Lake? Wasn't I just stabbed to death?" As reality set in, Craig realized he had been reborn into a world far beyond his imagination. His encounter with Fraener would change his fate forever. With the power of "Unbridled" Craig can surpass the natural growth limits of any being, while "Prismatic Convergence" grants him the ability to copy and refine the abilities of others. Thus begins the legend of the strongest human!

A thousand years ago, the world shattered. Mana surged into existence, rewriting reality itself. Dungeons tore through the land, birthing monstrous horrors, while beasts mutated under the influence of Primordial Ki, evolving into unstoppable apex predators. Humanity was on the brink of annihilation—until the Awakened emerged, wielding supernatural power to defy extinction. Yet, in this brutal new world, strength reigns supreme, and weakness is a death sentence. Amidst it all, Azvoid Larkson—a nameless figure among the countless struggling to survive—awakens a power beyond reason. A power tied to ancient, forgotten dragons—beasts feared even by the strongest Awakened. With each battle, he ascends. With every dragon he tames, his legend grows. In a world where only the strong thrive, how far can one man rise? AUTHOR’S NOTE: Heads up, dear readers!

Synopsis: This is the story of a young man who was reincarnated as a dragon with a near-insatiable curiosity. Initially sparked by questioning his own reincarnation, he quickly gets lost in the endless world of magic, using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana. However, soon enough, the table would flip, and he would begin using that very same energy to expand his knowledge of science, to the point that he would begin questioning his own understanding of the world. Although not his original intention, with the combination of his intelligence, expanding curiosity, and the 'miracles' that occurred to allow for his existence, he quickly found himself climbing the mountain of strength as if it were a small hill before eventually climbing to a point where it seemed as if he himself was the peak itself.

Dragon Age: Rise of Varmax’s Heir – Synopsis In a world where dragons once ruled with wisdom and might, an age-old conflict threatens to resurface. Michael, a seemingly ordinary young man, discovers that he is the destined heir of Varmax, the Thunder Dragon King—one of the last surviving dragons from the ancient war. When an old enemy, General Karl, the Dragon Slayer Sage, re-emerges with newfound dark power, Michael is thrust into a battle that will determine the fate of both humans and dragons alike. As Michael’s powers awaken, he learns that his bond with Varmax is more than just inheritance—it is the key to unlocking the legendary Thunder War God Annihilation, a force strong enough to destroy entire worlds. Alongside his allies—including the fierce warrior Ria, the enigmatic Kael, and a rising generation of dragon hosts—Michael must navigate through treacherous tournaments, mystical battles, and the hidden truths of dragonkind. But as the war escalates, an even darker truth is revealed: Karl is merely a pawn of something far greater and more terrifying—the Fallen One, a primordial entity that once waged war against the dragons before being sealed away. With the past returning to haunt the present, Michael must not only defeat Karl but prepare for a battle against a force that could erase existence itself. As betrayals unfold, alliances are tested, and romance weaves through the chaos, Michael must embrace his destiny and ascend beyond mere mortality. He is not just a dragon host—he is the heir to the greatest dragon of all time. The fate of the world lies in the hands of a boy who was never meant to survive. Will he rise… or will everything fall into oblivion?

Princess Azalea's life is shattered when Zaydon, the man she loves—a fierce and protective dragon shifter—makes a devastating choice. Bound by the ancient and cruel Dragon’s Bond, a spell that shackles a dragon to a princess at the cost of their own life, Zaydon seals their fates in a desperate attempt to protect Azalea from a looming, unnamed danger. The bond is one rooted in a barbaric tradition that demands the dragon’s death to prove the suitor’s worthiness to rule. This forces Azalea to confront the horrifying reality of Zaydon’s sacrifice. Once a source of safety and love, his actions now threaten to strip Azalea of everything she holds dear. Torn between her unrelenting love for Zaydon and the betrayal of his choice, Azalea spirals into heartbreak and fury.

Caught between duty, love, and revenge, Azalea must summon her strength to defy a destiny written in blood and forge her own path forward—before it’s too late.

Kael Ardyn never believed in fate. Living a quiet life in the sprawling city of Azorith, he never cared about the myths of old gods, demons, or celestial wars. He had always been different—too detached, too cold, too indifferent to everything and everyone. Nothing ever sparked his interest, and emotions felt like distant memories. But then, something changed. One Morning, a stranger appeared at his doorstep with an admission letter to a school he never applied to—Velmorian Academy. His mother, thrilled beyond reason, urged him to accept the offer, but Kael sensed something was wrong. The invitation felt too deliberate, too unnatural. And yet, he went. That was his first mistake. Velmorian Academy was nothing like he expected. It was no ordinary school—it was a sanctuary of magic, hidden from mortal eyes, training warriors to fight against demons that had long escaped the depths of Hell. But Kael wasn’t interested in their wars. He had no desire to awaken his powers, no drive to fight, and certainly no intention of being anyone’s hero. Until they threatened his mother. When dark forces target the only person he has ever cared about, Kael is forced to make a choice—embrace the power buried deep within him or watch the world burn. But what he doesn’t know is that he is no ordinary student. Within him lies the soul of an ancient god—Drakarios Valtheron, the Nine-Tailed Dragon Lord. A being so powerful that even Lucifer himself swore a blood oath to destroy him if he ever returned. Now, Kael must uncover the truth of his past, awaken the power within him, and prepare for the battle of a lifetime. Because the demons that lurk in the shadows aren’t just hunting him. They’ve been waiting for him. And this time, they will stop at nothing to claim what was once theirs—the Dragon Orb. But there’s just one problem… Kael still doesn’t give a damn about saving the world. Until the world gives him a reason to.

Eirik Boris was never the type to accept a deal nor offer quickly, but with the girl in front of him, the riot that’s currently going on in the kingdom, and the rumor of the old king's bloodline, there are just too many things at stake. He looked at her with his eyes full of doubts, knowing very well that not only his life was at stake, but his region, too. But at the same time, if the girl in front of him is who she claimed to be, then a new beginning shall begin in the kingdom. It will be a new dawn of glory, a new turn—around, especially for the commoners. With a sharp blade in her hand, unlike anything Eirick had ever seen, which had a crystal that had a glinting red onyx at its end, the girl stepped into the long, narrow bridge, ready to prove that she was from the bloodline of the old king. “If you fail, I’ll surely deliver you to the king myself.” Eirik made it sound like a warning, and like he was not interested in her at the same time. But deep down, Eirick cared. If this girl turns out to be carrying the blood of the old king, then things will turn around for great. And if not, then he’d gladly deliver her to the king. At least, by doing that, he’d still have to keep his head, his family, and his region. And maybe, just maybe, the king will give him a limited punishment, but not a death sentence. “I won't fail,” Eirick heard her replying without turning, her voice full of uncertainty, though. Eirik held his daughter's hand, leading her back slowly, his armor bearer following, and then the nobles, a hundred of them who had come to watch the so-called girl who claimed to be carrying the blood of the old king venturing to the narrow bridge where she would recover what was left behind by the Old king himself. Before the old king vanished, he had said that only his true bloodline could cross the narrow bridge and retrieve what he had hidden there. Many people had come to attempt it, all of them claiming to be the son or daughter of the old king, and all of them had failed. This girl won't be an exception, at least, that's what they thought, not until the unexpected happened. As usual, the ghost guardian of the bridge, a being forged from magic with extraordinary abilities, emerged from the chasm of the bridge, standing tall and proud in front of the girl with a rapier in his hand. He didn't give the girl a chance to blink; he charged, the sound of metal against metal filling the air, sparkles flying out, and groaning of the two filled the atmosphere, too. And then, when everyone thought the girl would fail like the rest, they noticed her body shimmering, a great aura coming out of her body like a mist, her hair flaring in flame like a ghost rider, but she was not. And then, the blade radiated extra light, before the girl took full transformation herself. She easily bypassed the ghost as he presented his attack, moving with the grace of a leaf dancing in the wind, but in a blur that everyone hardly saw her moving. Before the ghost could wheel to face her, the girl struck him hard at the temple with the hilt of her blade, followed by a kick in the chest, which sent the ghost tumbling down the bridge. Normally, a ghost shouldn't feel attacked or get hit since he's partially invincible, but the girl was not ordinary either. She’s from the lineage of King Saul, making her the rightful heir to the kingdom of Agapanthus, and she just proved that to everyone by defeating an undefeatable foe.
