Ash Elite Four

King Alaric was crowned by war, but ruled by desire. His kingdom needed peace, so he took four sisters—each an embodiment of deadly sin—as his queens. Liora, Queen of Lust. Sylva, Queen of Envy. Kaelira, Queen of Wrath. Darya, Queen of Pride. But no crown comes without thorns—especially when love, power, and betrayal entwine. Each sister wants his heart... and the throne. When sin becomes love, who burns and who survives?

Orphaned, penniless, and expelled from university, a young woman hits rock bottom—until a mysterious magical system fuses with her brain. The system offers her a simple yet brutal path: earn Knowledge Points through the mass use of her inventions, and buy access to the most advanced knowledge in the multiverse. What begins as a desperate scramble to escape debt turns into a technological uprising. She builds smarter tools, an AI companion, and an empire in Africa—disrupting corporations and outmaneuvering nations. But when her first mana-electric reactor lights up the stars, it also lights a beacon in the cosmic Dark Forest. Now hunted by alien races, she leads humanity through war, colonization, and conquest. From nothing, she rises—immortal, brilliant, ruthless—to become the Empress of Humankind in a galaxy that wants her dead.

The man who once saved her life returns, determined to protect her. Her childhood friend reappears, offering comfort—and something more. A mysterious one-night stand sparks a connection she can't ignore. And her ex-husband? He wants her back… and will stop at nothing to win her over again. Four men. Four chances. One woman caught between love, vengeance, and the power she lost.

In the nation of Avrael, power is both a blessing and a curse. Sixteen-year-old Ayato Daath, a poor orphan, had always hoped to live unnoticed in the shadows of the city. But when he is forced to undergo The Rite of Manifestation, the ritual that determines one’s magical potential, his worst fear comes true—he is an Elite. Now torn from the only life he’s ever known, Ayato is thrust into a brutal world of magic, bloodshed, and treacherous politics. In a society where the strong prey on the weak, where rival factions scheme in the dark, and where a single misstep could mean death, Ayato must quickly learn one thing—adapt, or perish. And one thing Ayato already knows is that in Avrael, only the ruthless survive.

They left me to die. But this world had other plans. When our deep-space expedition crashed on a hostile alien planet, I thought the survivors would stick together. I was wrong. The moment the beasts came, my crew threw me to them—used me as bait to save themselves. I should’ve died out there. But death never came. Rescued by the native tribes who walk through ash and fire, I awoke in a world of primal gods, ancestral trials, and secrets buried in the soil. They didn’t know what I was—or what I could become. Neither did I. With broken tech, buried knowledge, and fire in my blood, I rose. And as I carved out a new place among these people, I asked myself: If I can lead them... should I? If those who betrayed me return... will I show mercy—or burn them to ash? In this world, survival is earned. And I was abandoned—so I will rise.

Shadows of old gods whisper in lost temples, cursed bloodlines awaken, and a long-dead prophecy stirs. Bound by fate and shattered love, Dren and Seris must gather the forsaken, unravel ancient betrayals, and face the brutal truth of their past lives. But every choice comes with a price and the world they seek to save may be beyond redemption. Old enemies return, new horrors rise, and a final reckoning approaches.

In a world ruled by five powerful clans, each blessed by ancient gods and dragons, Kael is the forgotten bastard son of the Fire Clan’s ruthless leader.

Some entered Crestwood just to see him. They’d heard the name — a rumour more than a fact. Daniel Carter. A first-year student who somehow became the top of Shadow Legion. No one knew what to believe. Only that something happened last year. Among the new admissions were five students. Their intentions? Unclear. But even they couldn’t ignore the wave that hit the school on their very first day — an unexpected moment that sent whispers flying again. At the center of it all? The same name. Daniel Carter.

Before a woman sits on the throne… sometimes, she must rise from the ashes first. A maid who speaks less than the truth — and a princess who sells secrets more precious than gold.

And who is the real queen — the one they burned… or the one who watches in silence? This is a tale of royal blood… Where the crown lies not just on the head — but in wit, patience, and vengeance.

“Let go of me! Why now?” I snapped at them as they closed their distance on me while I moved backward towards the stairs. “What happened to all of you hating me?” I sneered, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes. “I can't be a mate to monsters! You all despised me, made my life worthless the whole time, and you suddenly want me to accept being your mate?” I stared unbelievably at them as their eyes glinted with fury as they approached further. “Well, we still hate you but think of this as a favor,” Ryder taunted, his lips curling into a dirty smirk and I glared at him. “Favor?” I gaped at him, taking cautious steps backward. “At least, your wish has been answered,” Derek snorted, cocking his head while Sage stared coldly at me. “That's why we have decided on making you our mistress. Highly to think we would accept a murderer as our mate.” Mael added, his words sent shivers running down my spine. “You all are sick! Insane!!” I chuckled bitterly, to think they'd always put Lena first before me. They wanted me as their mistress. “Thalia! Be care—” before I could process what Sage was about to say as he reached out to me. I lost my balance and tripped. *** Eleven years ago, I was framed for killing my precious younger sister whom everyone loved, and they thought I should have been the one to die instead of her. Being the daughter of the Beta, I was stripped of my title and demoted to an omega and became a servant in the pack's house. I was despised by everyone, especially the quadruplets, the Alpha's sons. Alpha Sage, Alpha Ryder, Alpha Mael, and Alpha Derek— the ruthless and most feared, respectable Alphas who never took a break from tormenting me and making my life worthless. Ten years later, my younger sister who was thought to be dead, reappeared at the pack's doorstep, looking alive and well, and even more beautiful and elegant. She was welcomed happily by all the pack members and was desired by the quadruplet. I thought everything would go back to how it was but I was neglected and remained the omega no one wanted until my life took a shocking turn when I clocked eighteen. Fate had me mated to the Alpha's sons, not just one but all four of them but what's even more shocking was when they agreed to make me their mistress. I'd rather eat dirt! Cause, I won't be bending so easily.

Betrayed. Exiled. Forgotten. On the eve of his coronation, Prince Alistair Varian Dragos lost everything. His father, the High King, was murdered.

"The world didn’t break Trice. It made him." In a world where the strong write the rules and the weak disappear without a name, Trice was born with nothing—not even a last name. Raised in a collapsing slum called The Gray Verge, Trice learned early that justice was a fantasy. His family? Erased in a political massacre the government called "necessary cleansing." The elite called it progress. Trice calls it debt—one the world now owes him. At fifteen, Trice is supposed to be dead. But instead, he returns, scarred, silent, eyes burning with a vengeance too large for his body to hold. From the ashes of forgotten children and ruined dreams, he claws his way into the underground—where gangs rule like kings, and corruption flows thicker than blood. But Trice is different. He doesn’t seek power for power’s sake. He doesn’t want to rule. He wants to ruin. Every family crest that turned a blind eye. Every politician who smiled through the slaughter. Every smiling hero who stood by while monsters wore medals. Along the way, Trice forms fragile bonds with others like him—broken youths with nothing left but rage. A swordsman cursed to forget his kills. A runaway princess who bleeds blue fire. A hacker who can’t leave his apartment but sees everything. Together, they are the Fangs of Nowhere—a blade aimed at the heart of a poisoned empire. But the deeper Trice digs, the more he sees that revenge is no straight line—it spirals. And something darker than men may be behind the suffering. The world didn’t just hurt him... it built him to burn. Now he must choose: Will he be a weapon of revenge? Or a symbol of rebellion?
