Ashes In Fire

A life of luxury, indulgence, and effortless privilege shatters in a single evening when a sharp, brutal truth cuts through the golden facade. A young heir, drowning in his own mediocrity, faces the unthinkable—rejection from the one person he thought he could hold onto. Stripped of his comfort and adoration, he spirals into the darkest corners of his mind, where despair wrestles with a strange, burning determination. Haunted by the weight of his past and driven by an almost self-destructive hunger for transformation, he abandons the empire he was born to inherit and vanishes into a world that forces him to confront the man he has become. There, among unfamiliar faces and grueling struggles, he begins to rebuild himself, reshaping every flaw and failure into an arsenal of precision and control. But the past has a way of finding you, no matter how far you run. When duty drags him back to the family and the life he swore to leave behind, he must navigate a labyrinth of old wounds, cold betrayals, and a love that feels more like a curse. In the relentless pursuit of redemption—or revenge—he discovers that some chains are impossible to break, and the price of reinvention is far steeper than he ever imagined. This is a story about power, obsession, and the unyielding pull of a man’s desire to escape himself. Or perhaps, to destroy himself in the process. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

“I don't like judging people, but sometimes I can't help it. I don't like talking behind people's backs, but sometimes I do. I just want to live a good life, but sometimes I can't.” Love, Betrayal, Blood, but not Hatred. Only cold revenge, and a son to complete the family. "D" Section, a nonexistent military unit. "D" for dark, "D" for depth, "D"... for death. It demanded no attachment, and Daemon sacrificed love for it. Years later, the death of his teammates made him feel that he had done enough for the country, so he came back to the city he grew in. But can what has been forsaken be gained back? Because now Evelyn, the one to have breathed vitality in his numb, orphaned heart, had her own life, and a little boy calling her mother. And while he left his life full of dead bodies behind, did that life really let him go? From the ashes, will it love or... ? _ _ _ First draft of characters image on my discord, a channel for fans to get together: https://discord.com/invite/C86EJvCJdd Comment and review, don't forget.

Taken to a small, hidden cottage on the outskirts of a bustling market, Elora finds refuge in the home of a skilled herbalist, a woman whose knowledge of plants and healing runs as deep as the scars hidden beneath Elora’s skin. While the herbalist tends to her body, the silent bond between them begins to form, offering Elora the first glimmer of hope in years. Yet, questions about her past continue to haunt her. As Elora’s physical wounds heal, secrets unravel—secrets that will reveal her bloodline, the true identity of the man who saved her, and the path to her destiny.

When they tell you that history repeats itself, you should at least expect some details to change. But no, in our case, things went exactly as they did the first time: a crack in the sky, a couple of monsters a bit taller than usual, and a myriad of people who, for some reason, were surprised. Because who, honestly, wouldn't have bet on a good demon invasion every few hundred years? Although, to be fair, this time the causes are much clearer. Man always finds new ways to destroy himself. If the first time the solution came in the form of a shy librarian who unknowingly found the key to stopping the end of the world, this time it came in the form of a weak and hungry boy, who would have preferred to destroy it rather than save it. Let me ask you a question: who said that magic was reserved for muscular and dramatic warriors? No, my friends, true salvation, this time, doesn't come from paper, scrolls, and the patience of a genius, but from hunger, fear, and the will not to give up on your fate.
