Merlin Used To Be An Assassin

The apocalypse is coming. Magic wants to fix it. Science thinks it caused it—and can fix it. * On a pre-apocalyptic Earth, Gwen Aishat Gwen, an AI-enhanced system-bound black woman engineered for logic and precision, is deeply at odds with a returning breed of human sized fairy godmothers. These are otherworldly beings born of ancient belief and chaotic magic. One of these fairies—Abigail Susanna Winthrop Hawthorne a.k.a Mathilda—is old-school and all about glitter, rainbows, and dangerously outdated ideals. Maybe even a little racist. And she really doesn’t understand how a 'Black woman' could hold very much power without “magic” or “faith in superstitions.” They clash! But the survival of humanity may depend on a fusion. Maybe even... a union. And what if the only thing that can truly change the world… is if these two worn-out godmothers stop fighting long enough to understand each other….. and maybe fall in love? --- JUICY THEMES: 1. Science vs. Superstition = Head vs. Heart 2. Queerness in ancient systems 3. Enemies-to-Lovers slow burn 4. Cultural clash with apocalyptic stakes 5. Satire, healing, and found family EXTRA TAGS: Sci-fi x Fantasy | WLW slow burn | Black Queer Lead | Sapphic Tension | Comedy x Bittersweet | Magical Realism | Apocalypse Prep | Queer as Hell

Leo wakes up in a foreign world with no memory of his name, past, or purpose. The only thing he’s certain of is this: if he wants answers, he’ll have to survive. Forced into a lethal trial designed to forge assassins, Leo navigates a brutal alien landscape filled with rival killers, hidden agendas, and treacherous power plays. His instincts are flawless, his reactions precise. It’s as if he was born for this, though he has no idea why. As the tests grow bloodier and secrets begin to unravel, Leo learns he may not be just another participant, for whispers of a legendary figure begin to follow him, a being long believed to be dead, a God-Killer with no equal. Now a target of both fear and worship, Leo must master his skills, uncover the truth behind his identity, and outwit enemies who’d rather see him buried than reborn. Because behind the silence of his forgotten past lies a legacy too powerful to ignore, and a destiny that refuses to be denied. -------- NOTE - The MC in this story is a cunning vigilante type character who is morally gray and will often make questionable choices not befitting a traditional 'Hero' type character.

If I asked you, what does it mean to be a hero, how would you respond? Is it fighting to avenge people you've lost? Rescuing others when no one else can lend a hand? Sacrificing your body for people who don't even know your name? Is a hero anyone who is strong, flashy, prestigious, or loves beating up bad guys? The country is in utter chaos as heroes and villains fight for survival. Everyone in between has lost someone. And everyone has their own ideals for what it means to be a hero. The story continues with Rhett, a nobody with no powers except one that lets him experience death over and over again. Can he save the ones he loves? Can he be the hero he wanted to be?

Death, impotence, and suffering, after living through this would you take an offer of becoming a "hero"? Can broken souls create healthy times? when a Mexican soldier saw himself against this question he knew deep inside the answer as a world of beasts, magic, elves, and demons unfolded before him. Author notes: this is a personal project, I would love feedback but I am not good at writing nor have much free time to write hence time between chapters might vary. I am trying to pick the known trope of humans isekaid to a fantasy world where they would become heroes but I will give it my all to create a complex and mature story worth reading with this common trope.

Tang Jiaxin was just a pampered bunny—literally. After being adopted by the cold yet secretly soft-hearted CEO Xu Jinyu as a child, she spent her days munching on carrots, rolling in flower beds, and unknowingly becoming the inspiration behind the world’s first anti-aging serum for animals. Her presence became the emotional core of YSHT (养生华堂), the newest expansion of the centuries-old luxury house Xuhuang (许凰), once perfumers to emperors. But when she suddenly wakes up as a human girl in his arms, everything changes—and so does she. What Jiaxin doesn’t remember is that this wasn’t an accident. It was intentional. In their past life, she died protecting him. This time, Xu Jinyu refused to lose her again. Using years of secret research, he engineered her transformation—extending her lifespan and creating the perfect formula to bring her back, even if she doesn't remember who he is. Now, with no memory of their past and a chaotic personality to boot, Jiaxin is working as his assistant in YSHT’s luxurious skincare empire—blissfully unaware of the emotional storm she’s stirring in her boss’s heart. As Jiaxin’s bubbly empathy wins over the public, she initiates reforms and generous donations, sparking an unexpected rise in YSHT’s influence in the stock market. But their growing success soon attracts enemies. The Western beauty houses, long-dominant in the global market, begin to feel threatened. Backed by government ties, they hit Xuhuang and YSHT with sanctions. Leading their counterattack is Eternal Spring (延春 / Yánchūn)—an ancient rival obsessed with unlocking eternal youth. And at the helm of it all? Wu Zhaoyuan, their charming CEO, who—despite no history with Jiaxin—feels fate has pulled him into her orbit. Two empires. One reincarnated girl engineered by love. And a silent war that threatens to rewrite the future of beauty, memory, and fate.

He died. Then woke up in Magi. Surrounded by corpses, Alex rises with a system, a new name—Merlin—and violet Rukh swirling around him. Ancient symbols burn on his skin. A grimoire floats beside him. Soldiers panic. Magi feel it. Even the dark Rukh takes notice. He’s not here to follow fate. He’s here to break it. New kingdom. New knights. Same chaos. And it all starts with one corpse coming back to life.

When two broken hearts who can't stand each other are forced into a marriage of convenience, sparks fly. Winter used to be a naive soft spoken girl, but now she is a heartless and arrogant businesswoman, running Simpsons Corp and with no time for relationships. Leonardo 'Leo' is a world renowned doctor, but he is also an egocentric playboy who puts his own desires first. When their arranged marriage begins, they agree to a personal contract to stay away from each other - but how long will that last? With jealous exes, nosy parents, and two hot people in the same house, this is a perfect recipe for disaster.

Ruled by the wise and just King Aldara, Auroria thrives on trade, magical innovation, and ancient knowledge. At its heart lies Solstice City, a magnificent capital and home to the esteemed Arcanum Royal Institute, where the brightest minds from across the realm come to hone their talents. As the new school year approaches, tensions rise within the royal family. King Aldara, driven by a desire for change, proposes a controversial plan to bring the son of the infamous Merlin—a powerful and feared wizard—into the kingdom's fold. Despite the protests of his brother, Headmaster Thaddeus Aldara, the king is determined to give the boy, Melanthius, a chance to prove his worth. Meanwhile, in the dark and foreboding Caldara Bastille, a prison on the desolate Ironclad Isles, Melanthius, known as Inmate Zero, endures a life of isolation and fear. Raised in captivity since birth, Mel has known little of the world beyond the prison walls, his only companions the guards and the dangerous inmates. Despite his harsh upbringing, Mel adheres to a strict moral code, refusing to let his father's dark legacy define him. As the headmaster and king devise a daring plan to retrieve Melanthius from the depths of the Bastille, the stage is set for a dramatic clash between the past and the future. With the help of a mysterious dragon hybrid, the kingdom will attempt to bring Melanthius to the prestigious halls of Arcanum Royal Institute, where he must navigate a world of power, politics, and hidden dangers. But Mel's journey is fraught with challenges. Haunted by his father's legacy and burdened by the expectations of those around him, he must learn to balance his extraordinary abilities with his desire to be good. As he steps into the unknown, Mel's presence at the institute will not only test his resolve but also shake the very foundations of Auroria Dominion.
