Ardent Aspen

Male MC| No-Harem| No Yuri| No Yaoi| No NTR A/N: Actually I wasn’t planning to give a full synopsis, but here it is... though I can't promise it'll be easy to explain without giving too much away. Some things are best discovered as you go, don’t you think? ____________________ ____________________ "You're a monster! How could you do this to her? Isn’t she your—" "Yes. She’s my wife. So, I’ll protect her however I want." Kael Ardent is the weakest adventurer in Velhart Town—timid, unremarkable, and scorned by all. At least, that’s what everyone believes. Beneath that fragile facade lies the most feared killer in the underworld, a man who strikes without hesitation, leaving no trace behind. A man who kills not for pleasure, nor coin, but for a purpose buried deep within his dark past. Seraphina Ardent, the kingdom’s strongest knight, is everything Kael pretends not to be—proud, noble, and bound to the unshakable laws of justice. As the captain of the Royal Knight Order, she has dedicated her life to eradicating criminals, never once straying from her path. But despite her strength, she is shackled to a cold, loveless marriage—one arranged by noble duty, binding her to a man she neither respects nor understands. By day, she scorns him. By night, she hunts the elusive assassin who stains the streets with blood. Unaware that the killer she so desperately seeks shares her bed. Kael enjoys pushing her buttons, taunting her with lazy smiles and harmless jests, never expecting the lines between amusement and something far more dangerous to blur. But when he realizes that unseen forces are moving against his wife—his duty shifts. Protecting Seraphina means continuing his life as a killer, eliminating threats before they reach her. Yet the inevitable looms ever closer. When Seraphina finally uncovers the truth—when she realizes that the man she swore to arrest is the same man she has unknowingly come to care for—what will she choose? Her unyielding duty… or the husband she was never meant to love? In a world where deception and justice collide, Kael and Seraphina must navigate a perilous path—facing enemies in the shadows and within their own hearts. But when swords are drawn and the final truth is laid bare, will love be enough to bridge the divide between an assassin’s sins and a knight’s unshakable oath? But one question remains: Can he save her? --- A/N: I'd be happy to get feedback as this is my first book. This will show that I actually have readers. Thanks. ____________________ ____________________ Update Schedule: Every Saturday 11:00 PM GMT (+6) 01:00 AM GMT (+8) (Sunday) Per Chapter Length: 1300-2000 words.

In a world that mirrors our own, humanity lives unaware of the fragile barrier that separates their reality from the chaotic, ever-shifting *Unveiled World*. This barrier is maintained by the *Third Eye*, a mystical power granted to a select few known as *Seers*.

Akihen Ardent , a disillusioned young man with a troubled past, stumbles upon the truth of the Third Eye after a near-death encounter with one of these creatures. Unlike others, Akihen’s awakening is neither planned nor guided—it is raw, chaotic, and filled with pain. His Third Eye manifests as a faint line on his forehead, marking him as a *First-Stage Seer*.

From forgotten passages to cryptic clues left by those long gone, the two brothers navigate a world where intellect is the key to survival. With Klein’s sharp mind and unshakable logic, no puzzle should be too difficult to solve… but some truths are buried for a reason. Can they unravel the secrets woven into the academy’s foundations, or will they uncover something best left undisturbed?

Ardent expected to wake up in his bedroom after going to sleep after a drunken spree. Instead, he end up in an unknown bed, in an unknown room, in what seem to be medieval time. And that's when he knew, things about to get complicated. Now stuck in what seem to be the past, he was not the slightest bit amused, except- "Wait, magic existed?!" In a world like his own, yet not at the same time, Ardent decided to live life as his own and do what he want. However, he soon realized that in the world of Magic, danger is always around in the corner, and he alone could not protect the people he soon come to care of. So, what does a man in his thirties in a child body does when he come to such realization? Well, build a new nation of course!

I got transmigrated into a game, but not as the hero. Nope, I’m stuck as a third-rate villain—one destined to die at the hands of the protagonist. And get this—I don’t even have a system to help me. The hero, on the other hand, has one that makes him nearly invincible. F*ck this. I’m not just going to roll over and die. I’m surviving this game, rewriting the rules, and maybe—No definitely—I’ll find a way to outsmart the hero who thinks he’s gonna kill me.

Kael Ardent wields Void Aether—a power both feared and coveted by the Dominion. After escaping captivity, he seeks refuge at Solace Academy, where outcasts like him hone their gifts.

But is it all just a dream? With a set of memories, the knowledge of the future, in a play orchestrated by Destiny, knowing well that he is born to be a Villain, will he prevail? Or is he going to fall at the hands of the Child of Destiny just like he did in the nightmare that haunts him? Author's Note: Yes, the story is heavily influenced by Urban-Fantasy Chinese Novels. Don't read if you have a problem with those types of plots. 'Cliche' plot elements are bound to appear, so if you easily get triggered by such things, keep away. And I would advise you to not even start the story if you are an ardent believer of 'Good shall prevail over the Evil'. Keep away! MC here is a Villain! But yes, he is not someone deprived of emotions, even though he is a Scum. So, do not expect an outright Evil MC either. I don't write Netorare. Don't worry about it!
