Squad Builder Showdown

Uploading this book on Royal Road too! [28.03.2025] Killian, was cursed by The Gods of his world. Born on the night when the Blue Bloods, a group of families with superpowers forced his family and others to live in the slums, his birth was nothing short of unfortunate. Unlike others of his kind, he was destined to work as a garbage picker, while the Blue Bloods created a rift in power throughout the kingdom. When a lost jewel falls into Killian's possession, the fates churn themselves to make him the most powerful of them all. The catch? Killian must unravel the secret of the lost jewel. Sadly, The Gods have other plans. In an endless tryst, where the weakest rises up to the challenge, the Scums must fight the Blue Bloods to take back what's theirs. *** Some say the world we live in wasn't always wretched. The Gods we no longer pray to love us once. And our shoulders that carry large sacs of garbage were once donning the finest of silk. Then, one fateful night everything changed. The sky turned red, and the Gods called out. And then, THEY emerged from the darkness. The Blue Bloods. The Blue Bloods weren't like ordinary humans. They had what no human could possess. The Blue Bloods were blessed with the powers of Gods. Their bloodlines were coveted and destined to flourish. And ours? "And henceforth, the crown shall always rest on a Blue Blood's head. The time has come for the Scums to return. Abandon thy riches, and homes. Give it all up for those who deserve it," Gods said. A battle ensued between the Blue Bloods and the Scum. The consequences? My mother died, while giving birth to me. The Gods fury hit her too hard, as she stood her ground. And I... I was destined to rot here, between the garbage.

The best way to declare war on a spy as an ordinary person is to become a spy as well.

This is the war of spies, telling the story of how a group of ordinary people achieved extraordinary success.

From the series of A Tale of Blades & Blood, The Chronicles of Winter & Spring go deep into the roots of the known world. The world of winter may fall with the rise of spring, but it will return another day. Witness the rich history, drama, wars, and politics that has shaped the kingdom of the north. In the world of Avalion, kings are everywhere- in every corner, and under every arc than you see. Beyond the vast north lives the goats of House Ballister, forged since the dawn of man and now kings of the four regions. Beyond the fruitful east stands the owls of House Strix, who rule The Spire with an iron fist and are the richest of all houses. Deep in the south lives the loyal ravens of House Ravenhan, who were given honor and pride by those they serve. Beyond the west stands the builders and warriors of House Gryphith, tied to the crown by marriage and builders of great constructions. Though kings are remembered in history, much of what we know comes from the bards that sing their songs amongst the feasts of future lords and ladies. From the written records of scribes and the lyres of singers, let us witness none but one thing-- A Song of Kings.

In a world where trust is a currency and love is both a weapon and a weakness, will Anon rise as a hidden king… or will he be consumed by the very world he is trying to shape?

The glow of RGB lights still haunts me. There I was, mid-stream, hyping up a Fortnite squad when an email pretending to be a sponsorship opportunity with the subject line "ENERGY DRINK COLLAB!!! *" appeared on my second monitor. I clicked. Big mistake. By the time my chat spammed "*SCAM ALERT" in neon caps, a trojan had already ghosted my Bitcoin wallet, $320,000 gone, poof, like a noob disconnecting mid-game.
