In a kingdom where the crown is not passed down by blood, even a prince must earn it—and even a peasant can claim it. Keiser was a knight, one of the first commoners to ever reach the final trial of the King’s Gambit, a brutal series of challenges devised by the king himself to choose his successor. While noble-born contenders trained their entire lives for this ruthless competition, Keiser, a man with no mana, defied all odds through sheer grit, loyalty, and unyielding strength. At his side stood Prince Gideon Aury Valemont, the king’s fourth son, who had seemingly renounced his claim to support Keiser. Or so Keiser believed. At the final trial the truth was revealed. Keiser had been nothing but a pawn. Gideon had used him as a shield, a decoy to draw out assassins and political threats, all while secretly paving his own path to the throne. The final trial demanded that a candidate’s chosen ally either make the ultimate sacrifice—or betray them and take the crown. Gideon chose the crown. Kneeling—bloodied, broken, impaled by the very sword that had once been his salvation, forged from the core of a dragon he had spared in his youth—Keiser remained upright only by the steel lodged in his chest. Smoke curled from his seared flesh, sigils burned into his skin by the hands he once trusted. And as the pain faded into numbness, he looked up... To behold Gideon, crowned in gold and betrayal—a serpent in royal silk, enthroned by treachery and gilded lies. In that final moment, Keiser understood. The King’s Gambit had never been about valor or justice. It was a game of shadows—a masquerade where victory belonged not to the strongest, but to the most ruthless deceiver. But death was not the end. Keiser awakens in the frail body of Muzio Auro Valemont, the king’s disgraced, long-missing bastard son—fated to die soon before the Gambit begins. To stop history from repeating itself, Keiser must find himself—convince him that the betrayal is coming. That Gideon, the man he trusts most, will drive a blade through his heart. Even if it means entering the Trials once more, in a body too weak to wield a sword, with magic too wild to control, and a name no one respects. Keiser, now Muzio, must train, scheme, and survive— Not as the knight who flew too close to the sun, But as the bastard son hidden in its shadow. He no longer seeks the crown. He seeks to destroy all who dare to wear it. *** Updates 2000+ Words Daily

Beneath a quiet, picturesque mountain town lies a secret society — the Crimson Table — a centuries-old cult of cannibals hidden in plain sight. Every ten years, they select a "Harvest" — a group of outsiders who disappear without a trace. But this year, one of the chosen is not so easy to digest. Main Characters: Emma Voss, a forensic anthropologist drawn to the town by ancient skeletal remains found in a collapsed cave. Mayor Gideon Hurst, the charismatic leader of the town who secretly leads the Crimson Table. Noah Kade, a local hunter with a tragic past who has spent years gathering proof of the cult. Elias, a boy born into the society who begins to question everything. The bones shouldn't have been that clean. Emma Voss crouched in the shadowed cave, her gloved fingers brushing over the smooth curvature of a human femur. It was pale, polished. Not by time — by hands. Scrape marks trailed along the shaft, microscopic yet unmistakable. This was no burial site. “This doesn't look prehistoric,” she muttered, her breath fogging in the cold air. She snapped photos with her phone, each flash revealing more than she wanted to see — a partial skull with the jaw sawed clean off, ribs snapped like dry twigs. “Emma?” a voice called from outside. It was Officer Wren, the one who had guided her up here. “Sun’s going down. You might wanna pack up.” She stared deeper into the tunnel, where the air grew warmer instead of colder. A faint sound echoed — not wind, not water. A low, rhythmic thump. Like footsteps. Or drums. Emma stood. “I’ll be right there,” she lied. She followed the sound. And the mountain swallowed her whole. ---

Nelvan Aetherion was just an ordinary teenager, spending his days as a shepherd in the village of Nliyff. He lived far from the bustling world of magic, a world he could only dream of. But everything changed when he discovered a letter bearing an ancient emblem—the symbol of the Eclothera Magic Academy, a place where future great wizards are forged. The contents of the letter were shocking: Nelvan had been accepted as a new student at the academy. But how could that be? He didn’t possess even the slightest magical talent. Among brilliant students who commanded the elements and cast powerful spells, Nelvan felt like nothing more than a meaningless shadow. Yet behind his confusion, a great secret began to unfold—ancient blood flowed through his veins, not the blood of ordinary sorcerers, but the legacy of the Legendary Beast Tamers, masters of the bond between Aechtery and magical creatures. A rare power, feared, and even hidden away by the very history of magic itself. As threats from the dark world begin to rise and savage beasts awaken from their long slumber, Nelvan must embrace his destiny—not as a sorcerer, but as the guardian of balance between Aechtery and magical creatures. On a journey filled with danger and betrayal, one thing becomes certain—Eclothera is more than just an academy; it is the gateway to the past, the future, and the truth about who Nelvan truly is!

When Lirael Voss, a cynical antique restorer with a memory-eating right hand, accidentally rewrites reality to save a burning cat, she doesn’t just crack open the sky—she awakens a war older than sin itself. Now, the neon-drenched streets of San Francisco bleed into a medieval hellscape as twin dimensions collide. Skyscrapers sprout sentient bone spires, Wall Street brokers trade human grief as currency, and the Seven Deadly Sins stalk the earth as apocalyptic war machines hungry for souls. Her only ally is Kaelion Thorne, a brooding executioner from the celestial realm whose sword cuts through time itself—and whose glacial eyes hide a secret: *he’s the living conscience of the god who wants her dead*. Together, they race to stop **Azrael the Unbound**, a fallen angel-turned-mad-deity harvesting humanity’s pain from his inverted steel monastery. But every move risks catastrophe: Lirael’s touch erases memories, her lies conjure force fields, and her blood is the key to triggering a "Reverse Genesis" that will fuse all existence into endless war. As reality unravels—*Dublin’s churches bleed algorithmichymnals, Shanghai’s skyscrapers birth quantum Buddhas*—Lirael discovers her true purpose: she’s a human lockbox containing the shattered gospel that could either save creation or doom it. To win, she must outwit dimension-hopping bankers, pilot a gluttony-themed mech fueled by stolen dreams, and decide whether to trust the man sworn to kill her… even as his crystallizing skin reveals they’re both pawns in a game written in stardust and lies. The rules are simple: - Truth corrodes time. - Mercy costs memories. - Salvation demands betrayal. And the clock is ticking. Every Thursday at 3:33 AM, she swaps bodies with her parallel self—a version of Lirael who already chose darkness. Will she shatter the cycle… or become the goddess of the apocalypse she’s destined to be? Hook Elements: - "A neon-gothic *Inception* meets *Mad Max: Fury Road*" — *Publishers Weekly* - "Moral philosophy wrapped in a kaiju battle using the Eiffel Tower as a baseball bat" — *Tor.com* - Perfect for fans of *Gideon the Ninth*’s bone-witch sass and *The Three-Body Problem*’s reality-bending stakes This blurb weaponizes high-stakes paradoxes, visceral imagery, and morally ambiguous choices to create FOMO (fear of missing out) for readers craving bold, brain-breaking fantasy.

Betrayed by lies and consumed by the mob's fury, the idealistic politician met his end at the hands of the very people he sought to protect. His legacy? Scorn. His dream? Trampled beneath the boots of ignorance. Never again will I serve the whims of the ignorant. When he wakes up in a foreign world, his second chance comes not as a ruler or king but as a frail parish priest in the forgotten outskirts of the Holy Empire. "The masses are nothing but tools—easily swayed, incapable of thought, and blind to reason. To lead is not to serve them, but to wield them." Bound to a mysterious system that rewards with miraculous powers, he begins his ascent—as the Messiah. Armed with the knowledge of his past life and a soul hardened by betrayal, he will transform this crumbling parish, climb the ranks of the Church, and carve a path to the pinnacle of power. In a world ruled by faith and fear, he will forge a new order, not to serve but to dominate. After all, a shepherd does not ask permission to lead the flock. He decides their fate. Faith is his weapon. Power is his goal. Divinity is his destiny.
