City Of Ashes Read

Betrayed. Butchered. Erased. Once hailed as a hero of the Holy Empire, Kael Varin was the empire’s strongest knight—until he uncovered the truth behind their so-called righteousness: corruption, blood rituals, and demon pacts disguised as “divine miracles.” For daring to expose them, Kael was branded a heretic, tortured for weeks, and ultimately executed in front of the entire continent. But death was only the beginning. His soul was cast into the Eternal Void, where a forgotten god of vengeance offered him a choice: die forgotten, or return as a monster to burn the world that betrayed him. Kael chose vengeance. Now reborn in the body of a young slave in a distant mining colony, Kael begins his merciless climb back to power, feeding on the souls of monsters, tyrants, and saints alike. With every life he takes, his power grows—and so does the shadow of the Abyss Lord within him. > “I was their sword. Now I am the fire that melts their thrones.” In a world ruled by false gods, immortal kings, and smiling executioners, Kael doesn’t want justice. He wants obliteration

For hundreds of thousands of years, the world drowned in war. How laughable. How detestable. How... utterly pathetic. They keep preaching justice, truth, hatred, vengeance but in the end its all the same. Too blind to grasp their own insignificance. Too arrogant to accept the simple truth. And yet, when salvation finally came, it was not by the hands of heroes, nor saints, nor those self-proclaimed "chosen ones." No, the world was saved by the very thing they feared most—a beast. Now, these wretched fools seek to cleanse their sins under a different banner. "An academy where all are equal." They believe such a farce will make the world forget their arrogance, their crimes. They think peace, when wrapped in a new name, will erase the blood they have spilled. But we have seen the light. We have been enlightened. While they wallow in their delusions, we gaze upon the truth. And in the truth, we shall be saved.

Adolf Hitler died choking on the ashes of his Reich… only to awaken in a world of magic, monsters, and weak-willed kings. Reborn in a land untouched by blitzkrieg or bullets, he finds no swastikas, no iron crosses — only empires ripe for conquest and sorcerers too soft to rule. Stripped of title but not of hatred, he begins again. Not as a man. As a force. With steel in his hands, fire in his veins, and poison in his words, he sets out to build an empire of blood — one bullet, one spell, one corpse at a time. There is no redemption. There is no remorse. Only war. Content Warning: This story contains depictions of fascist ideology, war crimes, and morally reprehensible behavior from an unapologetically evil protagonist. It does not glorify these beliefs — it explores their horror through fiction and philosophical conflict. If you’re uncomfortable with dark historical themes or villain-centered narratives, this story is not for you.

In a galaxy scarred by the collapse of Earth, humanity clings to survival behind quarantine rings that mark the Forbidden Planet. Torin Vale, a battle-hardened salvage pilot haunted by the ghosts of the last orbital wars, navigates a treacherous scrapyard orbiting Earth’s dead shell. When an ancient AI known only as the Ascendant breaches the fragile barriers, it whispers of debts owed and futures rewritten—pulling Torin into a conflict where survival demands evolution at a staggering cost. As Torin and his fractured crew confront hostile drone swarms, digital parasites, and secrets buried beneath Earth’s storms, they must choose between escaping the past or facing the forbidden truth.

In the alternate world of Nyoroa, where shadowy powers lurk beneath the surface of society, reality is layered with meaning — both seen and unseen. Most people live unaware of the supernatural forces that govern the balance of life, but some, like Kye, are marked by fate — or perhaps, by something deeper. Kye, a reserved and brilliant student, often feels disconnected from the world. Beneath his calm exterior is a storm of unspoken thoughts and dormant potential. When a school hiking trip takes a strange turn, Kye finds himself pulled into a vivid dream that feels all too real — a fully-equipped camp where classmates and teachers behave just a little too perfectly. But something is wrong. Subtle slip-ups grow into terrifying truths: he is being hunted… by the very people he trusted. Trapped in this dream world governed by surreal rules and conceptual physics — where ideas like force, time, fear, and will have literal consequences — Kye must survive a deadly manhunt that challenges not just his body, but his sanity. Escape requires more than logic. It requires change. When the dream forces him to kill a friend in a desperate escape attempt, Kye awakens into a world that will never feel the same. The event leaves behind a scar… and awakens a Daemon within him — a supernatural embodiment of the Concept of Latency, a force that governs potential, delay, and hidden strength. His daemon’s presence grants him power, but also responsibility — and the constant threat of becoming a Void, a rogue being who abandons their concept. Haunted by visions and pursued by those who sense his awakening, Kye is thrust into the hidden underworld of Nyoroa — a place where corrupted officials, criminal empires, and forgotten daemons vie for power using a secret underground currency, invisible to the rest of the world. As Kye struggles with morality, identity, and the cost of survival, he must uncover what meaning lies buried beneath his actions. In a world where everything has a price — even your soul — how much of yourself are you willing to burn to find out who you are?

In a war-torn empire where power corrupts absolutely, seven broken warlords branded as monsters must defy their past to forge a future worth redeeming. Once feared as "The Ghost Tigers"—Zhang Wei’s brutal enforcers—Kalima Chileshe (Hellfire Incarnate), John Mwanabeti (The Golden Fist), and their brothers-in-arms unleashed devastation across the Jade Expanse. Kalima’s flames razed villages. Chisangalalo Zulu’s breath poisoned rivers. Vincent Kabonde twisted flesh into abominations. But when the warlord they served turns their affinities against their own families, they shatter their chains, becoming hunted outcasts with blood on their hands and empires on their trail. Haunted by the ashes of Frost Moon Province—a genocide Kalima can never undo—the Ghost Tigers are consumed by a desperate chase: to escape their sins, control their cursed gifts, and find a peace that feels forever out of reach. Their only anchors are the love of spouses they were forced to abandon: - Kalima’s healer wife, Mei Lin, whose faith in his humanity is fading. - John’s fierce swordsmith wife, **Hana, imprisoned for defying Zhang Wei. - Zulu’s herbalist wife, **Lihua**, dying from the toxins he once weaponized. Their quest leads them to the **"Breath of Heaven"**—an ancient philosophy teaching control over their destructive affinities. With this fragile hope, they unite with rebels and clans to build **"The Sanctuary"** in the poisoned Mourning Moss Swamp, transforming their powers into tools of healing: - Kalima’s fire now warms forges. - Zulu’s breath purifies blighted land. - Vincent’s bone-warping mends wounds. But Zhang Wei’s vengeance is relentless. He creates monstrous Serpent’s Teeth" soldiers and poisons the empire’s wells, blaming the Ghost Tigers. Facing annihilation, they make a final stand—not with fire and fury, but with irrefutable truth. Risking everything, they expose Zhang Wei’s atrocities to the Imperial Court, culminating in a celestial aurora over the capital—a beacon of their restraint and redemption. In the aftermath, the Ghost Tigers achieve the impossible: Reunite with their spouses against all odds. Cleanse the land they once poisoned. Build a sanctuary where affinity-bearers and refugees find hope. Force the empire to acknowledge their humanity. Years later, the Ghost Tigers stand not as warlords or monsters, but as guardians of the Sanctuary—a thriving city born from ashes. Kalima and Mei Lin heal beneath blossom trees where infernos once roared. John and Hana teach children to forge swords into plowshares. Vincent and Jia mend broken bones and broken pasts. Their scars remain, but their measure is finally taken in lives saved, not lives erased. "We chased shadows... and found our light not in hiding, but in building this." — Kalima Chileshe, Sanctuary Dawn
