In a kingdom characterized by political intrigue and betrayal, a young man named Roy finds himself at the epicenter of a deadly conspiracy. After enduring numerous assassination attempts, he is once again targeted by a group of elite assassins. Severely wounded (and on the brink of death), Roy narrowly escapes with a fatal injury, his blood staining the ground as his body collapses. As life drains from him, he begins to lose consciousness, accepting that this may be the end. However, fate has different plans. Just when he believes all hope is lost, a mysterious force intervenes, saving him from death’s grip. Although severely weakened, Roy embarks on a new chapter of his life, forced to confront the complexities of survival in a world where nothing is ever truly what it seems. This experience reshapes his understanding of loyalty and trust, because surviving is just the beginning of a far more intricate journey. As he heals, Roy confronts the harsh realities of his predicament. With adversaries lurking at every corner and secrets (that) envelop his past, he is thrust into a game characterized by politics, power and betrayal. Although he has endured painful experiences related to love and loss, he finds himself entangled with Princess Rina, who is determined to make him fall in love with her—(even if) it means sacrificing everything. However, for Roy, love is nothing more than a curse: a destructive force that has already inflicted enough pain upon him. Amidst the escalating tension and political turmoil, Roy must navigate a perilous world, constantly battling for survival while grappling with his own indifference to the emotions that others seem to desperately cling to. As he becomes increasingly intertwined in the treacherous game surrounding him, Roy must decide whether to embrace his past and the relationships that accompany it, or to remain an isolated figure, detached from the world he once knew. This tale of survival, love and betrayal reveals Roy's journey as one of resilience, self-discovery and the harsh realities of a kingdom dominated by manipulation and deceit.

In *Blood and Arcane*, the world of New Altera thrives on two primal forces: **Blood** and **Arcane**. Blood symbolizes the essence of life, tied to the powerful Monari and their descendants, the Monari-Kai. Through the infusion of Monari blood, humans can enhance their strength and abilities, creating **Blood Hunters**—warriors who possess the raw, primal power of Monari beasts. These Blood Hunters are humanity's protectors, defending them from the dangerous creatures that roam the land. However, the process is fraught with danger, as only a rare few possess the compatibility to withstand Monari blood without losing control to its savage instincts. **Arcane**, on the other hand, embodies the mystical gifts granted by the goddesses, such as elemental control, telekinesis, healing, and gravity manipulation. Those blessed with Arcane powers are marked by the Goddess Althara and must learn to wield their gifts with discipline and precision. Together, Blood and Arcane form the backbone of New Altera, where warriors, known as Blood Hunters, and gifted individuals face the challenges of a world teeming with legendary beasts, deadly magic, and ever-present danger. In this land, survival hinges on mastering the balance between raw physical might and the arcane forces that shape reality.

"I will touch the stars... or die trying." ==================== Note: NO R-18, R**e, Romance or pre-marital handholding. I take no pleasure in writing such things. There's a bunch of killing and gruesome descriptions though. The novel is a bit slow in the first chapters, but after that, it picks up and gets significantly better. Also, the power system is similar to BotDS, but I've asked the author for permission to use it. It's also heavily inspired my writing, but the beginning is where its most prevalent.

What a shitty day. He could've avoided this if he'd been just a bit less empathetic. Instead, he gets put in a cage in a town full of people that hate him simply for existing. His bag was tossed in a bonfire and whatever was left of his rations were taken by the people who put him behind the bars. Damn his naivety and damn his stupidity to hell and back. x This is a remake of my first original story that never got anywhere. The MC is a character that I've messed around with by putting them in different pre-existing scenarios, so here's the true story where he never left his own world. I hope you enjoy. If not, go read something else. - Inconsistent Creator

To my new readers: Check below for important info. Chapter 1 - 8 of the novel is essentially just a prologue of the novel and it does not impact it too much, so you can skip it if you're averse to things like torture or anything that could induce negativity. Then again, I am not saying that chapter 1 to chapter 8 are less important but some readers might not like it as I've discovered. So I thought about putting it here just in case. But if you don't mind checking it out, then go ahead and read from chapter 1 at your own risk. -BMDR .... Check out my other novel: Two Worlds: Same But Different!!

The small town of HeathCroft was well-known for its family of mysterious billionaires, the Zuris. Lauriel and James Zuri, the parents, were well-liked philanthropists who would visit an orphanage every few years and adopt a child to welcome into their family. All the children previously adopted by the Zuri's had something special about them-some talent or potential that made them deserving of a new home. The people of HeathCroft believed that the Zuris were doing a noble act by giving these children a chance to exercise their potential and let them be. However, when the newest arrival, Adrianne Zuri, joined the family, it raised a couple eyebrows. Adrianne Zuri went against all the invisible requirements the townspeople believed you needed to complete to become a Zuri. She was illiterate, didn't seem to have any creativity in her blood, and was overall as ordinary as one could be in a family of extraordinary individuals. What the HeathCroftian townspeople didn't know was that Adrianne was by far the most peculiar member of the entire Zuri family. ---- credits to @NoelleAnn397 for the cover
