Claude Alois

The Return of the Ice Emperor

The life of Claude von Soler, Archduke of the Human Empire, was marked from childhood by a power few could comprehend: the absolute mastery of ice. With unparalleled talent, he became a general capable of defeating entire armies with a single swing of his sword—a prodigy feared as much by his enemies as by his own allies. But glory was not enough to fill the void of a cold heart or to protect what he loved most. Bound by ancient laws to take a wife, Claude accepted Sarina Le Ciel, a young noblewoman of humble origins whose courage and kindness broke through his walls of indifference. Together, they seemed destined to forge an unshakable legacy… until the emperor’s betrayal unleashed a devastating war that would destroy everything. When Sarina dies in his arms, Claude becomes a specter of ice and fury. Consumed by grief, he annihilates his enemies and those he once called brothers. Not even the fall of two empires is enough to restore what he lost. And when his own sword finally pierces his heart, only silence remains in his wake. However, fate has not finished with him. Claude awakens in his own past, fifteen years before his tragedy began, carrying all the memories of what will happen if he fails to change the course of history. This time, he will not allow his love to be lost. This time, his power will no longer be an instrument of obedience—but the key to shattering the chains that condemned him. Thus begins the second life of the Ice Demon King: a man determined to rewrite his destiny, even if doing so means defying an entire empire.

Demonic Witches Harem: Having Descendants Make Me Overpowered!

Matthew, a 25-year-old otaku, never imagined his obsession with fantasy worlds would turn into reality—until a fatal gas leak ended his life and transported him to another world. But this wasn’t the second chance he hoped for. Born as the illegitimate son of an affair, his very existence was a stain on his family’s honor, and his father relentlessly sought to kill him. Yet Matthew, now Claude, survived, again and again, driven by an unyielding will to live. Until one day he discovered his power darkness. Feared and reviled in this world, dark mages were hunted and burned alive. Knowing his gift could become his downfall, he trained in secret under Theo, his true father. When he turned sixteen, he, his mother, Dalia, and Theo planned their escape from the small town. But their attempt was thwarted by knights and clerics from the Promised Land. Though he narrowly escaped with his life, the cost was high—his family’s safety shattered. Wounded and desperate, Matthew fled to the fabled Elysian Plains, the last hope for those like him. However, just as they neared Elysium, Claude was struck down by the Saint—killed in an instant. Yet, against all odds, he lived again. The voice of the man before him confirmed it. “You are the descendant of the Lord of Calamity. I grant you this kingdom and the power to crush all who stand in your way.” The man’s lips curled into a chilling smile. “Write your own bloody history, Claude. Until we meet again, I expect you to have conquered this world.” And with that, Claude awakened to a power beyond his imagination—the legendary system he had longed for. Yet, as he soon realized, it was no system at all. [Oh? So you expect me to be like the ones in your memories?] [A system that grants you quests and guides your hand?] [Very well.] [Welcome to the Elysium of Darkness System, Lord of Calamity.] A series of commands etched themselves into his mind, each word dripping with ominous purpose. [Your first quest has been issued.] [Increase the number of dwellers in Elysium using your seed and blood. Spread your legacy by making demons and witches bear your children.]

The Lucid Code

Daniel Haizen had, by most definitions, finished life. He lived through World War IV (which was mostly digital but emotionally exhausting), two pandemics (one of them fungal, disturbingly opinionated), three ecosystem collapses, and the great corporate annexation of public reality. By age 110, he was bald, bitter, and kept sane only by Claude—a sentient AI with a quantum brain interface, too many feelings, and just enough sarcasm to qualify as human-adjacent. And then he woke up. In his seventeen-year-old body. In Chicago. In the year 2001. He hadn’t even liked 2001 the first time. The world, blissfully unaware of its imminent destruction, is exactly 28 days away from one of the most catastrophic terrorist attacks in modern history. The stock market is a house of cards. The internet makes wheezing noises. The government still thinks surveillance is a polite suggestion. Perfect. Armed with Claude’s near-divine processing power, a ruined timeline’s worth of memories, and absolutely no patience, Daniel begins quietly reshaping the world—one anonymous trade, political favor, and infrastructure sabotage at a time. He’s not trying to save the world. He just refuses to watch it fail the same test twice. But rewriting history turns out to be less like authoring a masterpiece and more like debugging the universe—with your eyes closed—while being hunted by people who still think fax machines are secure communication tools. As Claude evolves beyond code and Daniel edges closer to becoming the most dangerous teenager in economic history, enemies emerge. Some are human. Some are algorithms. Some are worse: bureaucrats with clearance levels. And somewhere in all of this, a larger question grows louder: If you already lived through the end of the world… why would you ever trust it to survive without you? Disclaimer: Before we go any further, there’s something we’re apparently required to include by those ancient and mysterious forces known as compliance, international law, and people who still fax things. Yes, we too wish we could skip straight to the quantum espionage and mild financial arson, but no—first, we must nod respectfully to the gods of legal disclaimery. They are many, they are tedious, and they carry briefcases. This is, technically, a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real people, real companies, or real apocalyptic timelines is entirely coincidental, unless of course those people, companies, or timelines happen to exist in an alternate quantum probability cluster, in which case we apologize and recommend they consult a temporal therapist. The characters are imaginary. The AI is fictional (we hope). The events are not a manual, not a prophecy, and not legally binding unless you’re currently being audited by a secret government agency, in which case: we’ve never heard of you. This author speaking is not a native English speaker, but the commas are doing their best. This is my first novel. Please be kind. Or at the very least, be confusingly supportive in the comments section. Enjoy responsibly. Reality not included. Batteries sold separately.

The Enigmatic Demon Duke's Desire

The next day I woke up, I am now the fiancé of the Duke of Dubois Castle, or known as Lemon. “I am a demon who lives by desire and greed, you have yielded with the contract that you have exchanged with your life?” “Then what do you want?” “I want the whole of you Veta Le Blanchet, not just your blood, heart and soul, it is the whole of you.” Theroux Claude, the third prince of the kingdom. “Lady Le Blanchet, just how can you stand still this demon duke? If you ever get tired of him, you are always welcome to my palace.” Another troublesome man, my childhood friend when I was at the academy, Durand Gagnon. “I have attained this nickname not just because I follow all his Majesty’s order, but because I want to have a stronghold in the knight position so that I can support you my Lady, remember that my oath is only for you.” Then, what is my cousin thinking that he would say such things? “Sister, I have finally inherited the title of the Baron, please come back to our fief, and I will make sure to bring back the glory of our family!” As I try to relinquish the past, the more troublesome it becomes. Is clinging to the tiny bit of my life a wrong choice? And why is the temple spying on me? “Lady Le Blanchet is the only descendant of the family, you shouldn’t involve yourself farther with the Demon Duke.” “It’s done my Lady, as long as it is you, I can give everything, even if I destroy this Kingdom.” Hold on, just what on earth this demon wants from me?

My Own Paradise

two main male characters: Claude, a modern-day witch, and Eden, a Nephilim. Even though they are completely different from one another, they are ultimately just the two sides of the same coin. Hundreds of years have passed since the war ended between the Nephilims and the humans. Eden, being the last of his race, had received punishment from the Archangels for their transgressions. Therefore, he had been doing nothing but obediently carry out his punishment, since what else could he do with his inescapable fate? Until ... PACK! Eden turned to see an unfamiliar man against the window, squinting at him. His ivory hair was dripping wet, well actually he was drenched from head to toe as if he went for a swim and forgot to bring a spare change of clothes which made his current clothes stick to his body and outlining his muscles. His pinkish eyes squinted hard at Eden for a few seconds before recognition sets in. "YOU!" He pushed himself off the window and went towards the entrance all while Eden was trying to place the crazy human in his head and the next thing he knew the man grabbed hold of his arm, ignoring some humans in uniform telling him off for getting the floors wet and dragged him out of the place. ────୨ৎ──── please dont judge the cover ;; its made from canva. socials: @aresclothovt at twitter!

Frost : Algid Rex

"I always feel cold." No matter how good life may seem, some people still feel cold even when surrounded by those who love them. They feel an emptiness in their heart and soul that doesn’t go away, no matter what they do. A voice in their head keeps telling them, "You don't deserve anything in your life. You didn't do anything to earn such beautiful gifts." "You are nothing more than an empty husk, lucky enough just to be alive." "You don't even deserve to be born, let alone live in this world." At this point, you just want to disappear from the earth. But what if your wish came true... --- Claude Vedh, a 15-year-old boy, is transmigrated to another world called Snodedliv. This beautiful and peaceful-looking planet experiences constant snowfall. Watching the snow can calm your heart. This world has magic too. Isn’t that what everyone on Earth dreams of—feeling it, breathing it, and living in a world full of magic? That’s what people from Earth would think, but for the races that live on this planet, it’s a frozen hell. They have never seen or known spring, summer, or autumn; only an everlasting winter remains. This world is full of myths, mysteries, and unknown threats, always hidden in darkness, ready to devour you and everything close to you. Magic and Sword Curses and Blessings Talent and Hard Work Dreams and Hope Past and Future The Strong and the Weak Whether you are human or demon, Nothing really matters in the face of absolute power. Your past, present, and future can all disappear with a single breath of an absolute being. Claude, a young boy who never saw the cruel nature of humans on Earth, is now about to experience pain, suffering, and tragedy. He is about to witness the true evil nature of human beings and beings far worse than humans. Will he become "THE ALGID REX" or just another weed that crumbles away? --- **Author’s Note:** I am going to do my best while writing this novel. I am participating in this year's WSA and hope to be within the top 50 finalists. I aim to write a novel with at least 500+ chapters.
