In a world where magic costs lives and gold buys kingdoms, the whispers promise him both... if he dares to listen." ... Additional Tags #Slow-burn #Businessbuilding #Multiple Identities

Say it,” Luca whispered against Ayden’s neck, his breath warm. “You want me. Don’t act like you’re above this.” Ayden's breath hitched. “I’m not—” “You are. But right now, you’re mine.” Fingers tangled in Ayden’s silk shirt, dragging it open. His pale skin flushed under moonlight, chest heaving. Luca’s lips brushed down his collarbone, slow, teasing. Ayden grabbed his wrist. “If you’re going to play, play right.” A smirk curled on Luca’s lips. “Then show me your rules.” And Ayden did — on the bed, on the mirror, under the stars.

When Lydia Grey, an ambitious Oxford student, inherits the ruins of Lantern House in northern Wales, she expects nothing more than a crumbling relic of her family's past. Instead, she finds journals and evidence of forbidden experiments that once blurred the line between science and madness. As rooms shift and shadows whisper secrets across mirrors, Lydia realizes she's not just exploring history—she's becoming part of it. Two timelines begin to echo each other: 1885 and 2025, bound by one family's obsession and one house's impossible power. What would you sacrifice to uncover the truth… when the walls themselves remember you?

We are in this new orphanage but why couldn't we leave? Is this house trying to stop us?

Looking back, maybe it wasn’t all that bad. Sometimes I wonder if life would’ve been better if Eliza and I had never discovered the truth. Maybe that’s selfish. But we might’ve been happier— or at least, that’s what I like to believe. Magic is a mystery. Even now, no one truly understands it. It flows through the world, choosing its own vessels. And once it touches you, it never lets go. I wish that was all I had to tell you. But my story is darker— filled with mystery, sacrifice, and loss. My name is Maddox. And we should’ve never left the orphanage. Schedule Hi, I’m Dox I’ve come up with a schedule for chapter releases: I’ll be releasing one chapter a day (except on Saturdays) until the volume is completed. After that, there’ll be a short break—depending on how hard I procrastinate—while I finalize the next volume. Then the cycle repeats. Please consider adding House of Hules to your library. It’s my first serious attempt at writing a novel, and I’ve got an epic tale I’d love to share. Don’t forget to shine brighter than the rest :) But what choice did we have?

Osamu Murakami was your average college drop-out, till he wasn't. By the age of twenty he was completely alone in modern Japanese society, failing his literature courses because his writing was too damn fantastical. Pooh. If writing fantasy won't sell now, he'd not want to live in such a world. Guess God heard his wish. After an incident at the local 7-11 convience store he was resting by the roof's edge, when suddenly he was startled by his goddess Fumiko and he fell. Fumiko tried to save him but they ended up falling together, and they died. But at least it was quiet now... right? Why is there the sound of a baby crying? Weird. Wait. Was that him...? He had reincarnated as Temius Daecerus, in the Royal House of Tarkhan Daecerus, the Iron Lord of the fantasy world of Selliva and he had absolutely no idea what he should feel about this sudden plot twist... Can't a guy even die in peace???? Now begins the story as we follow Osamu's adventure as the genius mage of the House of Tarkhan in the world of Selliva.

Alternate Title: Empire of Teeth For over five centuries, Vampires have ruled the world from impenetrable city-spires and unyielding fortresses, claiming to protect humanity from the savage werewolf plague they helped create. The truth behind their rise lies buried deep beneath the new world order. But when a mining operation in the tundra of Fennur’s Maw uncovers a being thought extinct, a tremor runs through The Blooded Empire’s foundation. He is a barely a man, or so he appears—musclebound, silver-streaked, and golden-eyed. He remembers nothing… not even his name. As he awakens in a world built to fear him, hunted and mistrusted, this Lycan reborn must navigate the blood-soaked politics of a planet held hostage by immortal tyrants and scheming Coven Nobility. But something stirs in the shadows—ancestral spirits, elemental forces, and long-dead memories claw their way to the surface. The Lycan race lost the war half a century ago. But the Lycan soul never vanished. It was waiting. ********* No System, No Academy, No Harem. If you’re a fan of Underworld, Noblesse and Garou Lore of WTA, then I think you’ll really like this novel since I took inspiration from all three when crafting this story. You can also find this story with a few extra chapters on Royal Road under the same title: Empire of Teeth ************* Extra tags: Martial Arts, Social Commentary, Uprising, Historical, War and Military, Cyber-Punk, Solar-Punk, Soft Sci-Fi ************** WHAT TO EXPECT? A unique and engaging DUAL power system. Not one, but two power systems that have narrative cohesion and purpose. Steady progression. despite the lack of exp from kills and stat points, the mc and his pack will steadily grow in ways that are felt and clearly understood. Tight pacing. not a lot of room for dilly dallying unless there’s a purpose. Commentary. There won’t be hamfisted political opinions or anything like that, but I will use the medium of Lycans to explore how wolves are highly misunderstood and used to push gendered agendas and fear monger etc. I’ll also explore the concepts of class and other things becahse why not. An Mc that’s lowkey similar to dbs broly. especially in the beginning. Tragedy. but not without purpose. Great fight scenes. I think martial arts and how it connects to different cultures and experiences is fascinating and I’ve used that as a way to explore the lore of lycans so many fight scenes will be more than a fight. they’ll also be an experience and dive into the past. nothing too overwhelming or drawn out though. trust.

Chapter Title: Chapter 1: The Whispering Walls --- Chapter Text (Paste This): The storm had not stopped for three nights. In the silence between the thunder, she could hear it again — those faint whispers inside the walls. Helena gripped the edge of her hospital desk, eyes locked on the cracked plaster just above the patient bed. Room 313. No one lasted long in it. St. Delora’s Mental Asylum had been standing since 1892, tucked away beyond the woods outside Black Hollow town. People said it was cursed. Helena didn’t believe in curses. Not until she met Patient 47. He was quiet, pale, and watched the walls like something might crawl out any moment. And every night, at exactly 3:13 a.m., he whispered one thing: “They’re waiting in the house.” When she asked him which house, he simply smiled and said, “The house that listens.” Then he scratched a drawing onto the padded wall. A house. Long windows like eyes. And dozens of ears, carved into the bricks. The next morning, he vanished. The staff blamed it on a clerical error. No one else remembered admitting him. Not even the security cameras showed anything. But Helena had the drawing. And a voice had started whispering to her, too. In her sleep. In her walls. She knew she had to go to the house. The same house from the drawing. The one no one dared talk about. The one that appears in the dreams of madmen. The House of Whispers.

A journalist who didn't know what he was getting into... until he foolishly discovered it.

In the beginning, when the world was still young and the skies were untamed, there existed a legend known to only a few. It was the tale of the 5 Birds, celestial beings created to safeguard the realms and maintain the balance of nature. These five majestic creatures were revered and feared, their power unmatched and their wisdom boundless. • Divine Owl Sagea, soared above the highest peaks, her golden wings casting a protective shadow over the lands below. She embodied courage and strength, always the first to confront any threat to their world. She was the leader of the 5 celestial birds. • Nocturne, the Raven of Secrets, dwelled in the shadows, his black feathers blending with the night. Keeper of ancient knowledge and hidden truths, he was a master of dark magic, using his powers to protect the innocent and punish the wicked. • Zephyra, the Falcon of Speed, raced with the wind, her silver feathers shimmering in the sunlight. She was swift and agile, a messenger of the gods and a symbol of freedom, her presence a harbinger of hope. • Seraphina, the Swan of Serenity, glided gracefully over tranquil waters, her pure white feathers reflecting her inner peace. She brought harmony and healing, soothing the hearts of those in turmoil and restoring balance to the land. • Pyra, the Phoenix of Rebirth, burned with an eternal flame, his fiery plumage a beacon of renewal and transformation. From the ashes of destruction, he rose again and again, a testament to the power of resilience and the promise of a new beginning. These five were the Pentad of Protectors, united by their mission to defend the world from the forces of darkness. Their greatest challenge came in the form of the Shadow Flock, a sinister group intent on plunging the realms into chaos and despair. The Celestial Birds fought valiantly, but the battle was fierce and unforgiving. One by one, they fell, their spirits lingering in the hopes that one day, successors would rise to continue their legacy. The world was left vulnerable, waiting for the day when the Celestial Birds would return to restore peace and order.
