Branded Chimera

In Veltharion, power is everything--a chain binding the world, passed from emperors to kings, from kings to lords. Those born without it are nothing. Meant to kneel. Auren was one of them, until the day his father was executed for defying a lord. Branded a traitor’s son, he flees into the wilds, where forgotten truths stir beneath the surface. There are whispers of another path, one that does not bend to kings or chains. But those who seek power outside the Chain are hunted, and the deeper Auren digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because some chains are not meant to be broken and those who try, risk losing more than their lives.

In a world ruled by ancient bloodlines and divine entities, the once-mighty Void Dragon Clan lies in ruins, its legacy buried in ash and blood. From the shadows of their downfall emerges Damon, a warrior forged in chaos and tempered by destruction. Unbeknownst to many, Damon is the reincarnation of an undefeated god from a forgotten era, a being whose very essence once commanded the heavens and sowed fear across the realms. Stripped of his divine throne and thrust into a mortal shell, he is haunted by the echoes of his past glory—and the insatiable power that craves to return to its true owner. Branded by the mark of the Void and hunted for the godly power coursing through his veins, Damon embarks on a ruthless quest to reclaim what was once his. He is no hero; he is the embodiment of fear, a force of domination who seeks to bend the world to his will. As ancient gods stir and rival clans vie for dominance, Damon’s path is one of bloodshed, betrayal, and unrelenting ambition. But the power he seeks is a double-edged sword: it could restore him to his rightful place as a god—or consume the very world he seeks to rule. Will Damon ascend as the ultimate tyrant, or will the world crumble beneath the weight of his insatiable hunger for power?

Four mates. Four heartbreaks. One destiny. Christina was never an omega, yet she was treated like one. Stripped of her warrior bloodline, cast aside, and branded as worthless, she endured the cruelest fate a wolf could face-rejection. Dev, her childhood mate, abandoned her first. Beta Leo humiliated her next. Alpha Blake Hunter-the second strongest alpha-dismissed her without hesitation, making her the queen of rejection. By the time she stood before Alpha Studo, the most feared and ruthless leader, she had no fight left in her. She expected rejection. She expected cruelty. But fate had other plans. A fourth-chance mate bond-something unheard of in werewolf history-linked her to Studo, a man as dangerous as he was powerful. And when a war fueled by rogues and witches threatens their kind, Christina's hidden strength will be the only hope of survival. The same people who cast her aside will be at her mercy. And while Studo stands firm at her side, Blake watches in regret, realizing too late the true worth of the mate he once threw away. The girl they all called weak will rise, but will she save them... or let them burn?

"In Qiyuan, kissing is an act of mutual surrender. To ask for a kiss is to ask someone to be yours, while offering yourself in return. On that note, making love is a common practice and is regarded as deeply romantic." —Book 1 of Romances in Qiyuan— Haruki had no memories prior to his awakening. With only his black katana and his name to ground him in an identity, he lived through every encounter on pure instinct and a great deal of luck.

But soon, he realized the waters in the palace ran deep, and his connection to whatever schemes were brewing here stretched all the way back to before he even came to... Earth? So, he's a local? Oh, and there’s that Lanling Cheng… Haruki: ...God, why is he so hot? —Volume 3 [146~300] Lanling lost his best friend… his boyfriend… his fated lover. And the loneliness brought by the sudden emptiness gripped his heart every day, almost driving him mad, scorching anyone who dared touch his reverse scale. But just as he gave up dodging the oncoming claws of a chimera, the wind swept him away—into a familiar embrace. Haruki had come back. With a new identity, a new family, and a new… fiancé?!
