In the 15th year of Hongwu's reign, Empress Ma was seriously ill. By a strange twist of fate, Li Qing became the attending doctor. From then on, Li Qing embarked on his journey in the Ming Dynasty. He had experienced the bloodshed in the Hongwu period and had been involved in the cruel war of the Jingnan Campaign.

He had served as a member of the Jinyiwei and had also become a cabinet minister. He had fought against the Tartar and Oirat tribes and had also battled against Japanese pirates. He was a close friend of Wang Yangming and had also frequented brothels with Tang Bohu... He was a man forgotten by the long river of time.

Angel thought the world would be hers to explore when she turned twenty. She can finally be free from the gilded cage her overprotective father built for her. But she was mistaken! Her 20th birthday marked the day she lost everything, including the freedom she so desperately craved. It was the day she fell into the hands of her father's enemy, to atone for his sins. Leoric has meticulously planned his revenge for many years. When that day came, he thought he had everything under control. The man who killed his father was behind bars, and the empire he painstakingly built fell into his hands ... including his only daughter. He planned to force his new bride to entertain his friends on their wedding night. That should force her to a status lower than an escort, which should humiliate her and shame her father. That should usher her into hell. His perfect plan of revenge was ruined by a mysterious mishap. They found themselves stranded in a desert in an unfamiliar world after their yacht was sucked into a vortex. Later, they discovered that they were in a parallel universe ruled by dark forces. The only way to return is to offer a tribute to the country's supreme leader—a virgin bride! Where would they get a virgin? Wait, isn't Angel a virgin? As Leoric and his companions traveled across the treacherous landscapes of the enigmatic Astralis, he found himself falling for his wife, who seemed to have transformed after falling into the sea on their wedding night. On a starry night on top of the peak of Mount Anabu, Leoric gazed tenderly at his wife, who looked ethereal, radiated a mystical aura, and whispered... "To hell with the supreme leader and going back. You can only be mine! Let us rule Astralis!"

The era of human dominance on Earth had come to an end. Dragonborns, powerful beings with divine abilities, now ruled the world. Humans were relegated to slavery, forced to construct grand castles and labor on farmlands for their dragon overlords. The dragons had conquered every kingdom on earth except for one that thrived despite their oppressive reign - Eldoria. This prosperous kingdom had a dark secret behind its success and resilience against the dragonborns’ threats. Every decade, the dragonborns of Scalethorne demanded a tribute of slaves from Eldoria, and the time for the next offering was drawing near. In accordance with the kingdom's customs, King Rodric prepared slaves and a rare mineral resource to appease the dragon king. However, Rodric was horrified when the demand turned to something far more precious. His daughter, Aria.

Ali must uncover the truth behind her family's ancient agreement with the fae—before she becomes another casualty of their immortal games. I will be publishing this novel on Royal Road.

Bree was a modern girl reborn into the world of shifters, as a bunny. This was obviously a cruel joke since she had died in her previous life by being mauled. In this new world, females were few due to the warlike environment. The different clans would constantly fight over land and resources. Females were considered the most valuable resource. If females refused to find at least two mates by the time they matured, they would be sold. You didn't want to be sold. Sold females were considered property and would get a mark of slavery on them. Because females were so expensive, they were usually bought by whole communities to be shared by unmated males. The mark of slavery prevented them from contracting a mate and therefor accumulating power and territory. You needed to create a strong home by contracting with powerful shifters. After contracting, they would receive your mark and become your champion. They would fight for your honor, use their magic ability for your benefit, and provide for you. In return, you were expected to produce eggs. Males could be the leader of a clan, but a female could take over large territories by contracting the strong clan leaders. After expanding her territory, a female would be considered nobility. The stronger their champions, the better their resources and territory. Larger area's typically had one queen female and her court made up of nobility. Every double full moon, they would fight for the honor to have their female enter the queen's court. At the end of the queen's reign, she could choose a new queen from her court. In the midst of all this, Bree discovered her own magic power, 'Otome Gamer.' While Bree is trying to fulfill her quests, and an ultimate goal that would change everything, a frightening darkness is spreading, and shifters start to dissappear. Along her journey, Bree makes friends and discovers that fated mates actually exist.

In the aftermath of a daring escape from the merciless King Ozul, Arya Athena and her band of young warriors find themselves stranded on the wild, unforgiving Island of Darth.

Haunted by her mother's sacrifice and driven by a need to protect her sister Liza and their people, Arya navigates a treacherous path where survival is earned through steel and wit. But as they fight to stay one step ahead of Ozul's men, the island begins to unveil secrets that could shift the balance of power in Shinghaala forever. When betrayal lurks behind every tree, and loyalty is paid for in blood, Arya's courage is tested like never before. Her fate — and that of her kingdom — hinges on a perilous rescue, a family lost to war, and an uncle believed to be dead. With a blade named Wraith, a heart filled with defiance, and the haunting memory of love sacrificed to war, Arya must choose: fight for survival or ignite a revolution. In a world where darkness reigns and legends are forged, the Island of Darth may just become the battleground for freedom, redemption, and the rise of the lion-hearted.

In a dark room, a tall man stood arrogantly, like an emperor, and she was the slave girl who paid tribute to him. After a week of torture for seven days and seven nights, what awaited her seemed to be the beginning of another world. However, this was just the prelude to a more complicated story - when she was pregnant, the doctor asked coldly: "Do you want to keep the child or not?" Her heart was broken, and the whole world seemed to collapse. Four years later, the woman had become a beautiful mother, but her little boy made her heart tight. The little boy hugged her neck dissatisfiedly, and his tone was full of domineering: "Mommy is mine alone, I don't want to share it with others!" Facing this precocious child, the woman's heart was filled with complex emotions - she could only give this deep love and protection to the only baby in front of her. In the constant challenges and growth, she gradually transformed from a weak girl to a strong mother, determined to protect her most precious existence, no matter how many storms there are ahead.

The Beastlord’s Second Chance Ethan Cross was a legend, a walking nightmare for his enemies, and a self-proclaimed genius of beast taming. By the end of his deeply exhausting career, he’d tamed creatures so powerful that kings avoided making eye contact with him out of fear of being accidentally mauled. His crowning achievement? Defeating the World Devourer, a cosmic garbage disposal capable of eating planets, magic, and your will to live. He sealed it away, saved the world, and heroically died in the process. Or so he thought. Instead of eternal rest or even a pat on the back from the gods, Ethan wakes up in his old, eighteen-year-old body. No wealth, no legendary beasts, and no dignity. Just a moth-eaten shirt, a pair of pants that could sand wood, and Scruff. A pigeon masquerading as a Wind Falcon with the coordination of a drunk squirrel. Turns out, starting over is worse the second time around. The world still revolves around beast taming: kingdoms are built on creature power, social hierarchies are determined by the strength of your companions, and everyone pretends they know what they’re doing. Ethan knows better. He lived through this circus once, and he’s determined to rewrite the script this time. The plan is to gather the most powerful beasts early, stop the rise of future disasters, and definitely avoid the whole “die heroically while saving everyone” thing. The problem? Valeria Drake, an insufferable prodigy with a Dire Wolf and a superiority complex, is still around to ruin his day. Oh, and the World Devourer might not be as sealed as he thought. Armed with an unhealthy amount of sarcasm, and the overwhelming desire to avoid his past mistakes, Ethan is ready to claw his way back to the top. Maybe. Assuming he doesn’t trip over his own hubris or get mauled by something embarrassing like a feral raccoon. Because the world isn’t going to save itself, and this time, Ethan would really like some applause when he’s done, or simply at least a decent pair of pants.

In the dark side of A'en Esari, a world tidally locked to its sun, treachery is the coin of the realm. After the withering wars, the emperor undying has proclaimed his dominions, the one true empire, and rules in Khandor alongside his ephors. Yvain the younger, landless knight of the realm, awakens after a long slumber to discover that his spawn is dead. Consumed by regret, he sets off in vengeance. When he and Dyani meet in a ball at Ona Serin and submit to a night of pleasure, they soon uncover that the other is tied to the secrets they are after. Sired and raised in the Mortal Pavilion, Dyani serves as scholar and scribe, and spends her days cataloging the events that others will come to call history. Chancing upon a blood vial hidden in a rare book, she becomes privy to a secret that will not only make her an enemy of the realm but will have the most powerful vampires baying for her blood. Esvele Solarin, third princess of the Solarin kingdom of the light realm, is sent to the other side of the continent in place of her sister as a tribute to the emperor. Unsure of her purpose and trying to make a home among bloodsucking strangers, she finds a friend in Isran, a vampire whose charismatic guise blinds her to the evil underneath. As she falls deeper into his web, she realizes that there are worse things than vampires in the dark realm. In a world rife with conspiracies, terrors, and vampires that will exceed any limit to keep their power. The fate of Lunar dominions will rest on the decisions of the trio, to either stand against the powers that be or collapse under the weight of their desires.

They took his tongue and with it, his song and his sorcery. They threw him to the lions, expecting him to die. Mauled, multilated, and bereft of magic, Arn survives. A prisoner in Aquila, the northern skáld has lost all his powers. But a felled tree can regrow. A destroyed house can be rebuilt. A broken man can be made whole. The method is forbidden magic, and the price is life's blood. With each death by his hand, Arn will claw his powers back, little by little. Unwittingly, his new masters will aid him in his endeavour, as they have but one use for him, same as before... The arena. If the sound of Norse progression fantasy in a Roman setting sounds intriguing, read on!

Earth, 1957. In a secluded and forgotten corner of the world, a being unlike any other is born — an extraordinary hybrid of bear and human. Hidden from the world, he is raised in secret by a woman who becomes his teacher, his guide, and his only family. From her, he learns the ways of humanity: language, knowledge, and emotions. His mind grows rapidly, far surpassing human intellect, and his strength is unmatched. But peace is fleeting. Their sanctuary is discovered by government forces. In the chaos that follows, he protects the woman, giving her a chance to escape. Overwhelmed by his growing instincts and the violence within him, he makes a choice. Fearing he might one day hurt her, he distances himself from her. He leaves. She disappears into the world of humans, while he is left with only the wilderness as his refuge. Alone and hunted, he vanishes into the depths of nature. Time passes, and with it, he forgets. His mind, once sharp and brilliant, is dulled by instinct. He forgets what it means to be human. One day, fate calls him back. While wandering the forest, he witnesses an attack — a wild bear mauling a man. Something stirs within him. Memories. Instincts. He intervenes. He fights. He kills. The man, paralyzed by fear, watches in disbelief. But then, something impossible happens. The hybrid speaks. His voice, rough and broken, echoes through the forest. The man collapses in shock. But this is only the beginning. Unknown to him, he is not the only one of his kind. The truth of his origins is tied to beings far older than humanity. They created him. They watch him. And they have plans for him. His journey will span centuries, through war, solitude, and discovery, as he faces the ultimate question: Is he man, beast, or something far beyond either? “Echoes from the Eternal” is a raw, powerful tale of evolution, identity, and survival. Through the eyes of the hybrid, readers experience a world both familiar and alien, brutal and profound. His story is one of silence and echoes — echoes that will reverberate across the ages.

"As our new tribal chief, you have a great responsibility. You must impregnate every woman in the tribe who wishes to give birth. As the tree of life's envoy, you do not have to worry about food. The village hunters will give tribute to the tree of life. You are allowed to eat the tributes as you wish." "So I only need to sit back and wait to impregnate whoever wants It?" Zuri, who had just transmigrated asked the middle aged woman in front of him. "That's right. As the only one with a seed in our tribe, you do not have to worry about most things." "When do I start?" "Right now, As the previous chiefs attendant, I need to teach you how to use your penis. So take off your clothes and let's mate." Just like that, the life of an ordinary man had suddenly turned to something he could only dream of. He may have not been reborn with a great golden finger like the many he has read of before. But he has the greatest thing a person could have in a world of women. A dick. ... Please note that the main character is A bit shy for the first few chapters, so bear with him for. bit. And we will be seeing some weird stuff in the future chapters. Though I can say that some of the terrifying tags like pedophilia, snuff and NTR will not be approached.

Amidst the sea of fallen comrades, their lifeblood staining the earth, a solitary figure rises above the carnage. He stands atop a gruesome curtain of death, his longsword an instrument of divine wrath. In its gleam, one could sense a challenge to the very gods themselves. We were fools to face him; my comrades paid the price in their own flesh and blood. A desperate realization claws at my mind – a realization that I must escape this blood-soaked field and bring dire warning to the holy excellencies. I looked at my remaining comrades they instantly realized what I was thinking. They must know of this relentless force, this harbinger of doom. I looked at my comrades and as I turn to flee, fate intervenes, and our eyes lock in a moment of eerie connection. He looked at me and my comrades with his crimson red eyes. He swung his sword towards me. Why is the world upside down? I thought. Then I realized that my head was cut by his crimson sword. Time slows to a crawl as I find myself caught in the deadly dance of his blade. I see the malevolence in his eyes, a reflection of the abyss that has claimed so many. He cut through my comrades without batting an eye. The red moon casts an ominous glow upon the battlefield, and his crimson silhouette, now moving away, becomes a spectacle against the crimson canvas. With an inexplicable calmness, I embrace the darkness. As he strides away, the embodiment of destruction and beauty, I can't help but smile like a fool. Amidst the ruins and the echoes of my demise, I whisper to myself, "Beautiful!" - a final tribute to the twisted elegance that accompanies the brutality of this merciless crimson devil.

Adele’s voice has a unique power—one that reaches into the hearts of listeners and pulls out emotions they never knew they had. For me, her music has been more than just a soundtrack; it’s been a companion through life’s toughest and most beautiful moments. In The Melody of Adele: How Her Voice Mirrors My Soul, I explore the deep connection I feel with Adele’s songs and how they have shaped my understanding of love, loss, and self-discovery.
