In the ashes of Earth’s once thriving ecosystem, where deserts have swallowed cities and the air reeks of industrial decay, only one green giant remains: the last living Iroko tree. Revered by ancient tribes and dismissed by modern science, the tree becomes the final hope for survival when Dr. Kuntu, an impassioned Kemit environmental scientist, uncovers a long-lost manuscript detailing its miraculous regenerative powers. Haunted by the memory of a lush past and driven by a vision of healing, Kuntu assembles a global team of experts a botanist with a secret agenda, a rebel engineer fleeing the corporate regime, and a geneticist hiding ties to a dark environmental experiment. Together, they set out across a shattered continent, evading rogue militias and corrupt governments who would rather see the world burn than lose control. As the team draws closer to the Iroko, they realize the tree is not just a carbon sponge; it’s a living archive of Earth’s ancient balance, holding dormant powers and ancestral secrets tied to Kuntu’s bloodline. But reviving the tree unleashes consequences no one could predict: climate anomalies, spiritual awakenings, and a resistance determined to destroy what they see as unnatural resurrection. When Kuntu is forced to choose between science and heritage, progress and preservation, life and sacrifice she must confront the greatest truth of all: the key to saving the world may not be in the tree's power, but in humanity's will to change. The Last Iroko Tree is a deeply emotional, high-stakes journey of eco-activism, ancient wisdom, and the unyielding fight for redemption in a dying world. With its blend of Kemit mythology, speculative science, and environmental urgency, it’s not just a story, it’s a call to action.

Transported to a rural family in 1973, where eating required food stamps, dressing needed cloth tickets, stepping out asked for a letter of introduction, doing business was considered speculative profiteering, and securing a job demanded an urban household registration. She, a young girl from the countryside, faced an indifferent mother, a troublesome younger brother, and an elder sister who often had poor ideas. Life had become insufferable. Memories from her past life are mostly forgotten, yet the myriad of objects in her magical storage ring baffles her greatly.

Lancelot Haier came from a dynasty of politicians who had ruled with tyranny and oppression. Despite those origins, he despised his family and was willing to help the citizens who had long suffered under their rule. However—before he even had the chance to change his country, the people revolted. His entire family was executed, and he was killed along with them. In his final moments, he wished for a second life—one where he could redeem himself and carry the sins of his bloodline. Unexpectedly, that wish was granted. He was reincarnated into another world as the crown prince of the Kingdom of Aragon. But in this world, everything felt backward. The country was ruled by an absolute monarch. Feudalism was the norm. Technology resembled that of the late 1700s. Fortunately, in his past life, he had earned degrees in both mechanical engineering and political science—knowledge he once hoped to use to reform his homeland. Now, it seemed he would use them here instead. He would use his modern knowledge to transform the lives of his people, industrialize his territory, gain the upper hand in technology, and form alliances with foreign nations—all while navigating the treacherous waters of internal affairs and politics. P.S While Reincarnated as the Crown Prince draws inspiration from historical settings, political systems, and technologies of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, this work is entirely fictional. All characters, governments, names, and events—although some may resemble real-world history—are products of the author’s imagination or are used in a fictionalized, altered form for narrative purposes. This novel is not a historical account. It should not be interpreted as a factual representation of any real monarch, nation, revolution, or political figure. Lancelot Haier, his backstory, and the alternate version of different kingdoms portrayed here are entirely original creations. The inclusion of familiar concepts like feudalism, industrialization, and political reform serves the plot and world-building, not historical documentation. Readers seeking accuracy in history are encouraged to consult verified academic sources. This story is a creative work meant for entertainment, character development, and speculative exploration of “what-if” scenarios rooted in alternate history. Thank you for reading, and I hope you will enjoy the journey.

In the vast Nazare Blade Empire, ruled with an iron hand by Emperor Groa Aratat, there existed eight princes, each striving for recognition and power. Among them was Josh Aratat, the most obscure and least acknowledged of the emperor’s sons. Born of a mother who passed away when he was just a child, Josh grew up in the shadows of his more celebrated brothers, his heart burdened with loss and his life marked by solitude. One fateful day, Emperor Groa decreed a challenge: each of his sons was to venture into separate regions of the empire, conquer them, and win the loyalty of their people. The prince who demonstrated the greatest strength, strategy, and ability to amass supporters would be crowned the imperial prince—the heir to the throne. The empire buzzed with speculation. Most believed the title would go to the mighty firstborn, Balek Aratat, renowned for his unparalleled strength. Others placed their bets on the cunning second-born, Jaden Aratat, or the skilled third-born, Gerard Aratat. Few gave any thought to the younger sons, particularly the sixth to eighth—Josh included. In their eyes, he was merely a shadow, unworthy of mention in the race for the throne. But everything changed when Josh encountered a dying man, condemned to execution for the crime of stealing bread. Wracked with despair and tired of his own existence, Josh made a startling decision—he offered to take the man’s place, embracing what he thought would be his end. Yet, in an unexpected twist of fate, death did not claim him. Instead, Josh emerged from the ordeal with a newfound power—an extraordinary ability granted as a result of his selfless act. This gift would not only alter the course of his life but also shake the foundations of the Nazare Blade Empire and the world beyond.

"There is an old saying that a person is but a mosaic of memories. But it is not the memories themselves that shape us, rather the choices one chisels from their shattered pieces — even those born in silence, even those carved in pain." "When the World Forgot Itself" is the Main Story and the largest part of the large Universe of Luminastra. It explores the delicate, often fractured nature of identity through a tapestry of fantasy and speculative genres. At its core lies an investigation into how memory — both personal and collective— shapes reality, yet never fully defines it. Instead, it is the conscious act of choosing what to hold onto, what to discard, and what to transform that forms the essence of self. Drawing from dark fantasy’s shadowed realms and epic fantasy’s vast horizons, the story delves into psychological and philosophical questions of existence, trauma, and resilience. It confronts the haunting echoes of forgotten histories and suppressed truths, inviting readers to consider how the past continues to live within us, sometimes as silent burdens, sometimes as sources of hope.

With time slipping away, he and his friends also keep trying to search for Grandpa Vlad, the Collin Coven Headmaster because he needs his help to prepare for a rumored Vampiric World War Three to transpire. Not to mention, it's time they all faced their biggest rivals who want to steal Victoria and Kai's sister-in-law Zoey to make their Coven the strongest. Can Kai take on these threats from other Alpha vampires that either want his mate for themselves or wish to kill her? Will Kai be able to transform Victoria into her true form as a vampiress or will her fate to live be demised too soon?

Between their ups and downs as a fated couple, they always find a way to balance each other. The first novel called: "Time Gap Queen and the Alpha Apex Predators" is still under editing and needs to be rewritten to fix some flaws I made with the FL, but it is completed. "DO NOT" let those flaws reflect on this novel because it will take time to fix them. This is my first time writing a series like this, so it's been a learning experience for me with writing a Fl. The story isn't all romance. This storyline runs deeper than that, and the vampires aren't weak. Also, it's only labeled as historical because the FL can mentally travel to past events in ancient times. This second Novel will be dark, gory, murderous, bloody, and steamy hot like the first one. You've been warned. Further warnings will be added as needed in certain chapters. Recaps will be added to grasp certain events and the vampires' way of life. Overall, the story will take a whole new direction, so you can read it as a standalone if you don't wish to read it the first novel. I will leave reference chapters from the first novel for you to read if you want to glance at it. Enjoy the action and suspense with these bloodthirsty vampires and vampiresses.

There was a young boy named Diamond who had a younger sister named Aika. They lived with Sofia and Mark, who were their stepmother and stepfather. Diamond and Aika had been found by Sofia and Mark in a dark alley, and they took them in as their children. Although they had developed a strong bond as a stepfamily, the details of their past remained a mystery. It was speculated that their biological families had abandoned them, but in truth, there was a more complicated reason for their evacuation from a dangerous situation. Since their adoption, Sofia and Mark had been curious about the children's unique appearances. Diamond had bright yellow hair and mismatched eyes—yellow on the right and light blue on the left. His eyes had an unusual ability to glow and shine, a trait that ordinary humans do not possess. Aika, on the other hand, had light blue hair and similar eyes, though her colors were reversed. While their distinctive looks attracted curiosity from others, Diamond felt happy in his new family. In reality, he was aware of the reason his original family had abandoned them—a tragedy that had left him traumatized. Despite his fears, he longed for the warmth and love of his new family to last forever. However, the shadow of that past loomed over him, and he stood there, filled with fear, tears, and disbelief as the tragedy he had witnessed unfolded before his very eyes.

When the bronze giant coffin floats in the chaotic lead mercury, and the Pangu stone axe splits open the time cage, the truth of the cocoon killing battle spanning billions of years is revealed in the primordial universe. In the cracks of the Three Ancient Laws, the frozen ancient, the crazy ancient, and the lingering ancient eternal strangulation. The ancient world is like transparent amber, with all things frozen in perfect form, dominating the 'empty skeleton of the ancient' and becoming an empty shell in stillness; In ancient times, it was like a boiling vortex of flesh and blood, with all things undergoing disordered fission. The "Mother of Ten Thousand Transformations" sang a hymn of destruction through the nebula of flesh and blood; In ancient times, like remnants of candles in the wind, the "Fire Council" pieced together a home in the cracks. The Xuan awakened from the bronze giant coffin is the "residue of time" formed by the fusion of Pangu blood and cocoon silk, which can switch between the three ancient forms. He bears the truth: Pangu's opening of the sky was actually cutting towards the 'cocoon of time', and the primordial world was just sand and dust in the cocoon. In the journey of the ancient empty city, the ancient demon cave, and the ancient ruins, Xuan finally faced a choice: to slay the old corpses or refine the laws to rebuild freedom. When the Three Ancient Laws burst out of the body, is it a new cage or truly eternal? This is a prehistoric epic that combines law confrontation, civilized speculation, and individual redemption.

In the fractured aftermath of the First Convergence—when portals tore through reality and ancient magic returned to Earth—six global magical Orders re-emerged to seize control of the future. Amid geopolitics, legacy powers, and the rise of echo-based warfare, a controversial seventh faction stirs: the Hybrids, engineered from stolen bloodlines and unstable hope. At the center of it all is Kai “Soulfire” Mercer, a hybrid soldier who was never awakened by the Echo—he was activated. Sent to Anatolia's most unstable academy, he’s joined by five other cadets, each from a legacy Order, in an experimental squad known as The First Chorus. They are flawed. Incomplete. And unlike anything the world has seen. - Nandi “Echo Song” Maseko, whose stutter shatters spells and expectations. - Amara Khalil al-Rashid, a Dune-Inker rewriting patriarchal traditions with every blazing sigil. - Izel “Shardsight” Itzcuintli, a Glyphseer haunted by visions not yet lived. - Jian “Irontongue” Li, a Thoughtshaper torn between perfection and suppressed emotion. - Sarika “Rainborn” Moyo, a Rainmother whose storms rise and fall with her grief. When a trial awakens an ancient portal beneath their academy, spectral echoes and fractured artifacts begin to stir. As the First Chorus fractures and reforms, they must navigate secret histories, ideological warfare, and relics too powerful to remain untouched. But something else is listening. Something born between frequencies. And it remembers their names. The Echo Accord is a speculative coming-of-age epic blending metaphysical magic, geopolitical intrigue, and deeply human struggle. At its core, it's about imperfect young warriors trying to harmonize in a world built on dissonance—and whether it’s possible to write your own resonance when fate insists on repeating the past.

The game is faster. The players, ruthless. The pressure, constant. And whatever drove Radim to the edge still lingers in the shadows. This is a story of return. Of rebuilding from nothing.

Last month, I faced a nightmare scenario when the entire balance of SOL I held in my MetaMask wallet was abruptly transferred to an unknown address. One moment, my funds were secure; the next, they’d vanished without a trace. I frantically reviewed my transaction history, double-checked permissions, and scanned my devices for malware, but found no obvious breach. Panic turned to despair as I realized my savings accumulated through years of cautious investing were gone. Desperate for answers, I contacted MetaMask support, only to be told that their team couldn’t reverse or trace decentralized transactions. They speculated that my wallet had been compromised, possibly via a phishing scam, a malicious dApp, or a leaked recovery phrase, but I couldn’t pinpoint where I’d gone wrong.

Though skeptical after all, everything I’d read suggested crypto theft was irreversible I decided to take a leap of faith and submitted my case details, including transaction IDs and wallet addresses.

“They say the trees in Dämmerwald don’t grow— they remember.” —Old Schwarzwald Saying When seasoned survivalist Shawn Jilfer vanishes into the mist of Dämmerwald—a remote section of Germany’s Black Forest (Schwarzwald) famed for its dense, fog‑laden valleys and ancient pines—his final words broadcast live, “They’re watching us…,” send ripples of dread across the nation. Days later, Shawn reappears on a nation‑wide news channel, his eyes haunted and his lips sealed, fueling speculation and fear. To unravel the mystery, authorities deploy a specialized team—investigative reporters, folklorists, psychologists, and a detachment of Bundeswehr soldiers under administrative assistance protocols—tasked with ensuring the expedition’s safety and documenting every moment. Driven by equal parts skepticism and obsession, the group ventures into the forest’s labyrinthine depths, where moss‑draped ruins and winding trails seem to shift at will. Each step forward feels like trespassing into a living puzzle, as reality bends under the weight of ancient legends and unseen forces. Unsettling phenomena follow them—whispers echoing through the mist, flickers of movement at the edge of vision, and an uncanny stillness that falls like a shroud. “Do you hear that?” one soldier mutters, rifle trembling. “It’s coming from everywhere… and nowhere,” replies a reporter, her voice barely audible above the hush. “I swear I saw someone… behind the trees.” “There are no trees there anymore.” With trust fraying and time slipping away, the expedition must confront the forest’s deepest secrets—or risk becoming the next chapter in its legend. In Dämmerwald, nothing is as it seems, and the true horror may lie not in what stalks the shadows, but in what waits within ourselves. Only two of the sixty‑five returned. Neither unscathed. And neither willing to speak.

It's a love Game with the Billionaire. Garrett Moreau, a high-profile social elite who is also irresistibly attractive; Garrett is the perfect fairytale man many women dream of. When everyone speculated about who would be the lucky girl by his side, no one could have guessed it would be such a "normal" girl. After one night of indulgence, Viola Munroe found herself tethered to him as his constant companion. He labeled their relationship merely an exchange of benefits, but why did he show tenderness from time to time then? To protect herself from getting hurt, she hid her misguided crush behind a facade of indifference and acted as the perfect girlfriend. Some envied her for her seemingly gold-digging fortune, while others mocked her as nothing more than an eye candy. No one understood that she endured this unequal relationship for deeper reasons. Only a man this powerful could provide the medical resources her gravely ill mother needed. But she never thought of it as merely an exchange. If he allowed her to love him, she would do so with her whole heart. But the distance between them made her know she should stay in her place. But could she really be just a no strings attached sugar baby for the man she loves?
