Someone is playing a deadly game. And the ace of spades was only their opening move.

"She was supposed to be silent. She chose chaos instead." At thirteen, Lorraine vowed to a boy, “I’ll be your poison. I’ll be your blade in the shadows. I’ll live for you.” The catch? She was supposed to be mute and deaf. The bigger catch? He was a hostage prince with no power. Raised in a household where her father adored her perfect half-sister Elyse, Lorraine was thrown into a political marriage with Prince Leroy. Unfortunately, he liked Elyse too. Of course he did. Lorraine played the role of the forgotten wife, but still gave it all. Loyalty, time, and space. The Silent Crown, they called her. Fitting, really. No one expected anything from her. Especially not betrayal. He came back from the war with a mistress, who was a living shadow of his first love. That was Lorraine’s breaking point. Divorce? Not allowed. Staying? Not an option. So, she gave herself one month. One month before she vanished from Vaeloria, from the life that had chewed her up and smiled while doing it. But before she left? She wanted revenge. On the father who put her through hell. On the sister who took her place. On everyone who hurt her and laughed at her. And continuing with… an affair… with Leroy. Yes, you read that right. Lorraine started a secret affair with her own husband. In the shadows. As someone else. Masked. Daring. Desired. And for the first time in her life, she was powerful. He doesn’t know it’s her. And she doesn’t care to correct him. She’ll ruin him with pleasure. Then leave him with regret. That was the plan. The kingdom has no idea what’s coming. The Silent Crown has stopped waiting to be loved. Now, she wants war. And she’ll watch it all burn from the shadows.

"In a world where the strong rule and the weak are forgotten, one boy chooses silence... to build a throne loud enough to shake the heavens. After surviving endless humiliation from the world’s top-ranked faction, Ling Tianran, a low-born orphan from a remote border city in the Dragon Country, was left broken—but not defeated. On the brink of death, he awakens the Sovereign’s Silent System, a mysterious force that grants him power, strategy, and a single purpose: Create the strongest hidden faction in the world — one that fears no bloodline, background, or balance of power. But this isn’t a fairytale. The world is in ruin — plagued by demonic beasts, corrupted humans, and ruthless cultivators. The weak are hunted. The strong dominate. Yet, when monsters die, they drop Beast Cores that fuel cultivation. When intelligent demons fall, they drop treasures that can change destinies. And in the chaos, a silent sovereign begins to rise — one step at a time, from the shadows. He hides his face. He never reveals his realm. But the Golden Dragon Emblem on his followers marks the rise of an invisible empire. Enemies multiply. Allies flock to the unknown leader. And soon... the entire world trembles at the name of a faction no one has ever seen — yet everyone fears. --- No mercy. No filler. No gods to pray to. This is the rise of a throne forged in silence... and crowned in chaos."

Ren Tai was beautiful. Silent. Misunderstood. Born to a noble line yet discarded like filth, he lived in the shadows of the Mirror Moon Sect—unwanted, underestimated, unloved by all but one. Sarah, the sect leader’s daughter, once clung to him in secrecy. But when a young master from a powerful allied sect visited, ambition outshined affection. She stepped back. The young master stepped forward—jealous, cruel, and threatened by the silent boy she once loved. A single accusation became a death sentence. The young master crushed Ren Tai’s cultivation. Broke his bones. And with the sect’s silent consent, cast him into the Screaming Abyss—a cursed chasm where ancient wails rot the mind. But death did not come. At the abyss’s edge, an immortal soul, long sealed in the darkness to escape true death, reached for Ren Tai’s shattered body—hoping to steal his vessel and return to life. And that’s when the Crimson Cauldron awakened. A relic of legend. A hunger forged in flame. It devoured the immortal soul, saved Ren Tai, and rebuilt him—bone, blood, and beyond. As his strength returned, so did his past: a former life as a master of all sacred professions… and the cauldron that once vanished with his blood. Now, his silence is no longer submission. It is the stillness before a divine storm. He was thrown away like a corpse. Now he rises like a calamity. Would you like to turn this version into a dramatic book trailer script

They called him the “Silent Tactician” long before the blood dried on the banners. Before the journal was found. Before history remembered the cost. At the heart of an elite academy where talent alone isn't enough, Nitsuo stands not with power or prestige—but with silence, strategy, and an unreadable gaze. To most, he’s just a quiet second-year. To a few, he is the mind behind impossible victories. Behind his team’s laughter, behind the storm of noble politics and magical duels, he records everything—in a worn leather journal that one day will be all that remains. Each student here dreams of glory. Each battle is more than a test; it’s a war for identity. Magic is studied like warcraft. Words are weapons. Feelings are hidden behind masks, until a single moment—a mistake, a duel, a glance too long—cracks them wide open. But Nitsuo didn’t come here to win. He came to carry a promise. And while his comrades clash and grow, while quiet rivalries bloom into unspoken feelings and accidental flirts stir the hearts of more than one, a war far beyond the school walls brews in the dark. Because legends aren't born—they’re remembered. And The Silent Tactician doesn’t speak to be heard. He writes so his story won't be lost.

Some family secrets are meant to stay buried. But what happens when they start digging themselves out? When the Carter siblings return to their childhood home after their father’s death, they uncover a brother they were forced to forget—and a debt that refuses to be paid off. The house is alive with whispers, memories they didn’t know they lost, and something that has been waiting for them to come back. Now, they’re trapped inside, haunted by a past that was hidden from them, chased by a shadow that calls itself family. Some debts never die. Some weights never leave.

After the death of his father, eighteen-year-old Ryunosuke Hayashi Omeo lives a quiet life above his family's small restaurant in the heart of Los Angeles’ Fashion District. Quiet, reserved, and burdened by the weight of grief, he spends his days sketching the world as it passes him by—never expecting that the world might begin to look back. But when a chance encounter at Santa Monica Pier introduces him to a mysterious woman with violet eyes, Ryunosuke’s life begins to shift in subtle, unexplainable ways. Time seems to slow around her. Emotions dull. Reality warps. And though she vanishes just as quickly as she appears, Ryunosuke finds himself haunted—by dreams, by memories, by her. As he searches for the truth behind her identity, he uncovers something even more disturbing: a name connected to his father's past, a company shrouded in secrecy, and a man—Victor Navarro—whose influence stretches deep into the city's veins. With the help of his childhood friends and a cousin-turned-roommate who’s sharper than she lets on, Ryunosuke begins to unravel a web of secrets linking his father's death, a luxury car hidden beneath the city, and the strange woman who seems to be guiding—and manipulating—him from the shadows. But as feelings deepen and reality frays, Ryunosuke must ask himself: Can you trust someone who’s not of this world? Or worse— What if you already do?

Justice died in the war. He came back to dig it up. Presumed dead in World War II, Sergeant Elias Krieg was a ghost—until the world’s corruption dragged him back. Revived by an experimental serum, twisted by violence, and cursed with an undying hunger, he walks the streets of modern New York as a pale wraith in a torn cloak and featureless mask. They call him HeartEater—a brutal, silent vigilante who doesn’t bring criminals to justice. He devours it. Targeting the worst of humanity—murderers, traffickers, predators—he rips out their still-beating hearts and disappears into the night. But beneath the monster is a soldier who once stood for something. He protects children with a quiet tenderness. He offers mercy to the misguided. And he never forgets a promise. As powerful enemies begin to emerge—greedy syndicates, slothful manipulators, and sins made flesh—HeartEater must face the truth: justice alone isn’t enough. The world demands vengeance. And he’s ready to deliver it. Blood will flow. The hearts of monsters will beat no more.

He died because of someone else’s mistake. A promising life, snuffed out in a single instant. But death was not the end. Reborn in a realm where starships soar across galaxies and cultivators bend reality with a thought, Zephyr Valerian awakens as the youngest heir of a legendary clan. Beneath the golden cradle and noble blood, however, lurks a power the universe itself has forgotten—Devourflux, the ability to consume, evolve, and become something more. As empires wage war across dimensions and ancient beings rise from slumber, Zephyr walks a path none can follow. Every battle he fights, every secret he uncovers, draws him closer to the truth behind his second life… and the Silent Eclipse that looms over all creation. With the ability to forge powers from all systems—magic, cultivation, science, and myth—Zephyr will defy fate, rewrite laws, and forge a legacy that even the stars will fear. But the cost of becoming unstoppable? It might just be everything he once was.

In a village forgotten by history, Solus Onelight witnesses the first wound tearing through reality itself — a Rift bleeding silence, swallowing everything it touches. Shattered fragments of a higher existence rain down, unraveling life, memory, even the very laws that hold the world together. Dragged into a realm where nothing remains stable — where names, bodies, and souls alike dissolve — Solus must confront forces older than time, hungrier than death. But as his identity crumbles, something buried deep within him begins to awaken: a flicker of dark sovereignty, a resonance not of this world. In a collapsing universe where survival is a question of meaning, not strength, Solus's journey is not to conquer... It is to endure. Because sometimes, the last thing you become — is the last thing the world remembers.

A vast, forgotten house, cursed by an ancient force whose origin remains unknown. It only reveals itself to those it chooses... to everyone else, it appears as nothing more than a quiet, unremarkable hill. Those who enter never return—not because they are prisoners, but because something inside... won’t let them leave. Jack Smith, a kind-hearted young man who bears no malice and harms no one, finds his fate forever altered when the house appears to him. He wasn’t chosen because of a sin he committed, but because his blood carries a buried legacy… for his great-grandfather was the one who laid the first stone of this cursed house. The house never forgets... and it never forgives.

Deep within the heart of a volcano lies a hidden legacy left behind by ancient sages—awaiting a true heir. In her final moments, his mother risked everything to secure the Seal of the Immortal Crucible—a sacred artifact said to open the path to the fabled Marionette Palace. She entrusted it to her only son, whispering her dying words: > “It is the Buddha-Devil Heart Seal... Whether you walk the path of the Enlightened or the Condemned is yours to choose.” With this seal etched into his soul, Kazen Ren can manifest the Heartbrand Sigil—a mark that grants him mastery over puppet constructs. Where others struggle to control a single lifeless doll, he commands legions with a flick of the wrist. > “Mother… I will not let your sacrifice be in vain. I’ll claim the Immortal Palace. No matter the cost.” From wooden husks to sentient constructs, his creations pulse with uncanny brilliance—mirroring divine will and cosmic law.

Virelia Academy is more than a school — it’s a crucible for the world’s most dangerous minds. Neo Mojaki doesn’t stand out. He doesn’t need to. Beneath the surface, he listens. Observes. Calculates. His power — Echo Step — doesn’t bend the world with force. It slips into thought, memory, and perception itself. But when buried secrets begin to stir — sleeper agents, hidden tests, and an invisible council pulling every string — the academy becomes a battlefield of silence and strategy. Neo never asked to be part of the game. He just plans to end it. Some storms whisper before they strike.

A broken sword. A buried clan. A boy the world chose to forget. Once the proud heir of the Vohar Clan, Raen Vohar was betrayed, crippled, and left to rot in the ruins of his own legacy. But the swords buried in the graveyard didn’t forget him. They whispered. Now, Raen walks a path no cultivator dares tread—learning swordsmanship not from masters, but from the memories of the dead. Every blade he touches speaks to him: of battles, regrets, glory, and loss. With each whisper, Raen inherits a technique—and a piece of the soul that wielded it. But power comes at a price. The ancient sword spirits threaten to consume his mind. The elite sects brand him a heretic. And deep beneath the martial realms, a cult called the Sibilant Coil believes Raen is the vessel for a forgotten god-sword that once split the heavens. Surrounded by enemies and hunted by the past, Raen must forge his own legacy from ashes and echoes. With a broken blade and fractured soul, he will rise—not as a warrior of tradition, but as the first of a new age. The silent blade has awakened. And the world is about to remember his name.
