Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change. Although, that change is not always a good thing. Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes. To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force. This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar. —- “We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft. --- Cover illustration done by @i_evuuu/Everest

This is the story of Lara—born in the modern world, raised for one purpose only: to kill the man responsible for destroying her family. Her childhood was forged in shadows and sharpened into a weapon. Lara was trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general whose face haunted every nightmare, the man who tore her world apart. But fate doesn’t follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body thrown like a ragdoll. Darkness. She woke in another world. Gone were the cold, concrete alleys of her past. In their place: ancient forests, bloodstained kingdoms, and a war-torn land unlike anything she’d ever known. Here, she wasn’t a trained assassin. Here, she was someone else entirely. Kidnapped by human traffickers, Lara used every ounce of her brutal training to escape. In the depths of that strange, dangerous world, she met a reclusive martial arts master—one whose power defied reason, whose teachings broke her and rebuilt her again. For two years, she vanished into the wilderness, learning to survive, to fight, to become more. But destiny wasn’t finished with her. In the jungle of Mount Ourea, she discovered a man left for dead—an ordinary soldier, or so he claimed. In truth, he was a Prince of Northem, wounded during a secret mission to hunt the ruthless bandits and rebels tearing the kingdom apart. Lara saved his life... and unknowingly stepped into the heart of a war. Disguised as a common soldier, she volunteered to deliver a vital message to Northem’s generals during a bloody campaign in the Alta-Sierra mountains. But on the battlefield, fate struck once again. There, standing among the chaos, swords drawn and fire in their eyes—was General Odin and his sons. And Lara froze. Because General Odin was the mirror image of the man she was raised to kill. Could he be the same man from another world? A descendant? Or something far more complex? Then came the revelation that shattered everything: General Odin wasn’t her enemy. He was her father. Not by circumstance, but by blood. Torn between the rage she was raised with and the truth unraveling before her eyes, Lara uncovered a sinister conspiracy—one that sought to brand Odin and his sons as traitors. The plot came from within: trusted generals, corrupt ministers, and even members of the royal court. Irony turned traitor to protector. Lara became the shield of the very family she once vowed to destroy. Her blade, once destined for Odin’s heart, now defended it. But just as she embraced her place beside her true family, the final betrayal was revealed. In her absence, her cousin Mira had stolen her identity. She had wormed her way into Lara’s old life, comforting her grieving mother, whispering lies, and claiming everything Lara left behind—including her betrothal to Prince Alaric. While the world celebrated Lara as a war hero, they didn’t know who she really was. Her name, her legacy, her very life—all stolen by the one who orchestrated her abduction. Now, with her identity buried beneath lies and betrayal, Lara must rise once more—not as a daughter of vengeance, but as a daughter of truth. She must reclaim her name. Protect her family. And finish the war that destiny began.

"Spoiled. Useless. A Disgrace to Demons." That’s what they all said about Princess Xiao Rui—the only daughter of the mighty Demon King, infamous across the Nine Hells for her divine beauty, venomous sass, and zero cultivation talent. But when the Demon King vanishes without a trace, Rui is thrown into the Trial of the Infernal Heir—an ancient rite meant to choose the next ruler of the Underworld. Stripped of her luxuries and tossed into chaos, Rui must survive nine soul-shattering trials, each more hellish than the last. The catch? Everyone underestimated her, but no one can resist Rui's chaotic allure. Whether they start off trying to kill her, capture her, or lecture her, they all end up doing the same thing—falling head over heels for her. Expect: - Reverse harem chaos with dangerous, devoted love interests - Cultivation growth powered by emotional strength and chaos - A bratty demon princess discovering her true powers - Heart-pounding battles, forbidden kisses, and emotional mic drops - Plenty of comedy, ridiculous situations, and one hot mess of a heroine you’ll love to root for *There will be some (very spicy) smut, but I will put warnings in the chapter before. Completely optional

Deep within the dark Underworld of Kurgansk lies a host of mysterious demons, summoned to guard a prisoner. This captive had once come into possession of a legendary artifact known as the Yarn—a stone capable of putting an end to shifting souls from demons between humans. Its power unleashed terror across Northern Syria, sparking a wave of attacks and a long-lasting pandemic. To contain the chaos, Kurgansk the supreme god of the Underworld used the Yarn to suppress the prisoner, twisting its power for corruption and preventing him from restoring balance to the world. But Kurgansk overlooked a critical detail: the prisoner had a twin brother—a demon slayer with the rare ability to transfigure into various animals to conceal his identity, a power strikingly similar to Kurgansk's own. How will this battle end?

They were never lovers. Never promised each other anything beyond the shared responsibility of raising the most powerful, chaotic child the realms had ever seen. Lara, the infamous ex-commander with fire in her veins and mischief in her smile, walked away from war, titles, and politics—only to find herself tangled in a life she never expected. A life where she’s not the hero, not the villain, just the co-parent to a half-demon, half-Celestial whirlwind named Aliyah… and tethered, every single day, to the woman who both grounds her and keeps her at a distance. Sarisa, heir to the Celestial throne, is everything Lara is not—elegant, disciplined, devoted to duty. Once playful and soft, Sarisa has reshaped herself into something unshakable, a future queen too burdened to risk vulnerability. Especially when the court whispers that her daughter is an abomination. Especially when her mother has chosen a future and a spouse that doesn’t include Lara. They said they could raise Aliyah together. That it would be simple. No feelings. No future. Just two women bound by responsibility. But Aliyah is growing. Watching. Asking questions no child should ask with such clarity. And Lara is running out of ways to lie to herself. Because somewhere between sword lessons and bedtime stories, between stolen glances and unsaid words, Lara might have done the one thing she swore she wouldn’t. She might have fallen in love with the woman who was never meant to be hers. And Sarisa? She might already be breaking under the weight of pretending she doesn’t feel the same.
