Nobody's perfect. We all have flaws. We all carry the weight of what makes us human—unrealized potential, fleeting ambition, procrastination, or settling for a life of mediocrity. For most, it’s just part of living. For Alexander Hawthorne, it was all he knew. Born into privilege in the gleaming city of Kaelion, Xander had every advantage: wealth, status, a name that commanded respect. But beneath the surface, he drifted—unmotivated, uncertain, and haunted by the sudden loss of his mother. The fire within him had dimmed, leaving only the shadow of what he could become. Until that day. The day he stumbled upon a secret his family kept buried for generations. A mantle of power, a destiny so heavy it could break any unworthy soul. The path to becoming a Sovereign—was not given, it was earned. And it was guarded by unimaginable trials, enemies wearing familiar faces, and truths that could shatter everything Xander thought he knew about his family and himself. To rise, he must shed the man he was and embrace the warrior he’s meant to be. Because in a multiverse on the brink of chaos, where legacies are forged or destroyed, failure is not an option. But is he ready to claim the mantle… or will he be the Hawthorne that lets it all crumble? Come along on this journey with me and see for yourself.

At the tender age of 25, Klein reached the legendary status of Fifth Circle Mage, but his obsession with immortality drove him five years on a dubious elixir of immortality, unfortunately, to be transported into a completely different world. Thankfully, the elixir of immortality wasn't a total flop, as it gave potential greater than the Heaven's Chosen with a slight caveat.

But before all that, he needs to escape the wrath of the elves, for accidentally becoming the Dao Companion of their princess. Unfortunately, the task became a lot harder when he didn't even know their language.

In her previous life, Lina Riley harbored an unrequited love for the Fifth Princess, Victoria Ashwood. Lina sacrificed everything for her—securing her place on the throne, protecting her borders, and losing her arm and sight in the process. Yet, her loyalty was repaid with a goblet of poisoned wine and the execution of her entire family. Victoria despised her, accusing Lina of cruelty and of orchestrating her elder sister’s death, deeming her unworthy of love. When the poison took effect, Lina closed her eyes in despair, only to awaken back in the moment they first met. On that fateful day, Lina had stumbled upon Victoria being beaten by palace maids, an encounter that set everything in motion. This time, Lina turned away, choosing a different path, but a faint fragrance of plum blossoms lured her in. One reckless night led to a moment of despair when she awoke to find the coldly beautiful face of her bedmate—Lucille Everard, the Princess Regent. Lucille, while outwardly uninterested in court affairs, was notorious for her swift and decisive actions that had seen emperors replaced with alarming frequency. Compared to Lucille’s power, Lina’s past dealings with Victoria seemed like mere child's play. As Lucille stirred awake, Lina's nerves were frayed. “Given the circumstances, Your Highness, what do you think of me now?” she asked, resigned to her fate. To her surprise, Lucille chuckled softly. “I think you’re wonderful.” Stunned, Lina could only manage a confused “Huh?” From that moment, everything veered off course. Lucille's palace soon bloomed with roses—Lina’s favorite. Amidst the swaying blossoms, the resolute Princess Regent would gently take Lina’s hand, her once-frigid gaze warm and tender. “My dear Lina, you are the finest woman in the world.” In her new life, Lina often dreamed. She dreamt of someone leaving a bouquet of roses at her grave, their robes trailing the light fragrance of plum blossoms. They sipped wine with a wry smile, murmuring, “Silly girl, I avenged you.” Victoria Ashwood was reborn too. She hadn’t expected that killing Lina would provoke her aunt’s ruthless revenge. Determined to avoid a similar fate, she resolved to feign affection for Lina, even if it took a lifetime. At a palace banquet, Victoria was taken aback by Lina’s beauty. Draped in fine silks, Lina was a dazzling sight, so different from the weathered woman Victoria remembered. Drawn to her, Victoria was about to approach when she noticed Lucille at Lina’s side, gently wiping her lips with a soft smile. “Take it slow,” Lucille murmured. Lina paused, then chuckled as she adjusted a strand of Lucille’s hair. Victoria’s heart twisted in fury. When her desperate attempts to win Lina back failed, she demanded, “Why won’t you love me?” Lina sneered. “Show some respect, Fifth Princess. You should address me as Aunt. Besides, your hypocrisy and cold-heartedness make you unworthy of love.” Years ago, a young Lucille Everard encountered a lost girl in the palace gardens. The girl declared that Lucille was beautiful and promised to marry her one day. Thirteen years later, a fateful misunderstanding during a bout of poisoning entwined their paths. What began as teasing quickly turned Lucille from a hunter into prey, helplessly ensnared by the woman she never forgot. Tags: 1.

In the ancient era, the Sovereign of Eternity, a being with the most powerful bloodline in existence, reigned supreme over the multiverse. His strength was unmatched, his power limitless—until the day jealousy united his enemies. Ambushed by an alliance of the strongest warriors across realms, the Sovereign fought valiantly but was ultimately overwhelmed. In his final act of defiance, he self-destructed, obliterating his foes and casting a curse upon his own bloodline: anyone who inherited it would be hunted until extinction. Thousands of years later, the Sovereign's bloodline resurfaces in the frail body of Li, an orphan abandoned in a world of harsh realities. Weak, malnourished, and despised, Li is left to fend for himself—unaware that his veins carry the dormant potential to reshape the universe. Will the curse that doomed the mighty Sovereign seal Li's fate, or will he defy the heavens and awaken the terrifying legacy of the most powerful bloodline ever known?

Summary Werewolf | Curse | Fated Mates "Breathe, Lyla. You've always been mine," he grazed her lips with his finger. Born a werewolf, cursed as a child, Damon knew he was different even before he was ten. He was never allowed to mingle with kids his age by his father but that didn't stop him from knowing how to hunt and kill. He never had his wolf because of his curse or so he thought and this made him ruthless, brutal and unwilling to become the Alpha that he was supposed to be until a tiny, beautiful princess came into the picture, making him want to protect her at all cost and this could only be possible if he became the Alpha that he hated most.

"Who am I?" The question hits me like a frying pan to the face as I wake up in a dimly lit shed that reeks of mildew and regret. My memory? Wiped cleaner than a crime scene. My composure? Currently MIA. Replacing it? A delightful cocktail of terror and existential dread, shaken, not stirred. The shed is a Pinterest fail of nightmares: blood dripping from the ceiling (artsy, really), creepy symbols etched into the walls (probably cursed), and a general vibe that screams you’re not supposed to be here. And let’s not forget the cherry on top—the suffocating feeling of being watched. Lovely. Every instinct I have is shouting, Get out now! But where exactly am I supposed to go? The walls are practically breathing, humming like they know all my secrets, which is impressive considering I don’t even know them myself. No name, no memories, no idea what fresh hell this is—just me, my rising panic, and the unsettling realization that survival might not even be the point. But hey, when the alternative is becoming wall graffiti for a haunted shed, I guess I don’t have much of a choice.

In the desolate world of Neheinra, a man emerges as a beacon of hope amid overwhelming despair. Unlike the glorified heroes or despicable villains that populate tales of old, he embodies a profound sense of empathy and determination. Haunted by the echoes of a world once vibrant, now reduced to ruins, he witnesses the suffering of those around him—people who, like him, struggle to navigate the harsh realities of a post-apocalyptic existence. Driven by an unyielding sense of justice, he dedicates himself to alleviating the pain of his fellow survivors by being the sole beacon of support. His journey is not marked by superhuman feats or legendary accolades; rather, it is defined by small acts of kindness and courage that ripple through the shattered remnants of society. Each decision he makes is weighted with the knowledge of the consequences, and every life he touches is a testament to his resilience in the face of adversity. In a landscape where hope became a fragile flame, he strives to rekindle the spark of humanity, helping his people rebuild their spirits. This is a story of one man's fight against the tide of despair, a gentle defiance in the face of overwhelming odds, and a poignant reminder of the strength found in caring for others and perhaps himself in the long run.
