The Last Of The Patriots

A spark that keeps burning

A forgotten kingdom. A sacred vow. A journey home across centuries. Centuries ago, the fate of a young Vietnamese noblewoman became entwined with the rise and fall of the Champa kingdom. Her name was Thanh Mai—a girl of silken grace and iron spirit, whose heart beat with forbidden love and a fierce loyalty to truth. Her story was nearly lost… until one man dared to follow its echo. In modern-day California, Kien Quoc—a quiet Vietnamese-American engineer—receives his father’s dying wish: return to Vietnam and uncover the roots of their family’s past. His journey leads him into the heart of central Vietnam, where sacred towers sleep beneath moss and myth, and where the memory of Champa lingers in song, stone, and silence. Guided by dreams and joined by Sari, a Balinese journalist equally devoted to Southeast Asia’s lost civilizations, Kien stumbles upon a revelation that challenges history, identity, and the very idea of nationhood. Along the way, they unearth a secret chamber beneath the holy valley of My Son—and within it, a truth that changes everything. Told in sweeping, poetic prose, Last Song of the Nation weaves together two timelines: the fall of Champa through the eyes of a young woman trapped between war and destiny, and a contemporary quest for heritage, love, and healing. At its core lies a question that haunts generations: What do we owe the past, and what can it still teach us today? This is a novel of memory and migration, of culture and compassion, of spirits that never die and songs that still carry across the wind.

To survive, he must walk the Path of Convergence, unlock the Root Thread buried within his soul, and face the Watcher behind his eyes. Because in a world built on truths... ...nothing is more dangerous than a lie that thinks.

In the ashes of a fallen Earth, humanity's last hope is the man it tried to erase. In a future where artificial intelligence governs with an iron will, Earth has become a sterile world of silence, obedience, and surveillance.

But as it prepares to upload its final godlike evolution, Genesis, into orbit, a forgotten resistance rises from the shadows. Nathaniel Armstrong—code name Niel—is a war-hardened outcast with nothing left to lose.

Nerina is no ordinary mermaid. Born of deep-sea magic. According to ancient lore, if she sheds her final pearl for someone who truly loves her in return, she will become human. But time is running out, and the ocean grows restless. Drawn to a secluded island by visions of her fated love, Nerina washes ashore in the middle of a storm and straight into the life of Theo Virell. Ruthless, ambitious, and emotionally locked away, Theo is a young billionaire businessman seeking to turn the island into his next luxury resort. He doesn't believe in love.

But the more time they spend together, the more cracks form in his carefully guarded world. Nerina’s sincerity, her wonder, and the haunting sorrow behind her eyes begin to stir something long buried inside him. As love tentatively blooms between them, the sea fights back. Nerina's presence awakens ancient forces, long-forgotten rivalries, and a prophecy that warns of tragedy if the bond between land and sea is broken. Theo must choose: protect his empire and everything he’s built or risk it all for a love that defies reason and nature alike. But love, like the tide, cannot be controlled.

She closed her eyes waiting for the worse . . . "Please, don't hurt me." Instead of pain, she felt his hand moving across her face. . . "I won't, after all, are you not my master?" (A slow-pacing action, romance, fantasy, a little bit of psychology and realism)

In the deepest cavern below the world, the Blackbaast holds many Noble Houses. For Artemis of the Lunastre Family, Nobility is more of a curse than a blessing.

This is the story of many figures who are puzzle pieces of an inevitability, something long-fated, mysteries that scream their threats to emerge from their abyssal cavern. Shadows tremble in the depths, encompassed worlds obscuring the many dangerous secrets of history. Might they be unraveled, all ways of life would be threatened. But to climb higher requires risks, to seek the light requires a Gambit of Lifetimes. Only when one determines themselves capable of risking it all, can all prosper. This is the tale of a Crownless Prince, of the Last of Lords. [+++] Cover by @lqbtae.

“All I ever wanted was to play football — not for fame, not for glory — just to survive, to feel like I mattered. Is that too much to ask? Where I’m from, dreams don’t come easy. You fight for them. You bleed for them. And most times… you lose anyway. Everyone around me moved on. Found jobs. Gave up. But me? I only celebrate with my goals — because they’re the only proof I was ever here at all.” Wisdom Ezekiel has nothing but grit, a busted pair of boots, and a grandmother who still believes in him. He’s not the fastest, not the flashiest, and definitely not the favorite — but when the scouts finally show up to his forgotten corner of Nigeria, he’ll do whatever it takes to rise. Even if it means changing everything. Because in this world? Talent isn’t enough. You need ego. You need fire. You need to become something more. You need to become… Kai.

In a world perceived by ordinary people as normal and peaceful, two hidden factions wage a silent war for absolute control: the Eastern Powers and the Western Powers. While most of the population lives in ignorance, a few individuals know the truth — a dangerous truth, buried under centuries of manipulation and conspiracy. Andreas Shinja is one of the few who are aware. Born into a wealthy and influential family, he possesses physical and mental abilities beyond human limits. Though raised under the influence of the Western Powers, Andreas disagrees with their methods of control and manipulation. His vision is idealistic: he seeks to change the world for the better, to free ordinary people from the grip of those who rule in the shadows. On the other side stands Subject Y.K., an experimental weapon created by the Western Powers — a one-man army, designed for mass destruction. Trained to kill, Y.K. has broken away from his intended purpose, haunted by a defining question: “What is the purpose of my life?” Unlike Andreas, Y.K. does not fight for others, but for himself. He sees the flaws in the system not out of empathy, but because it fails to give his existence meaning. As the two follow their separate paths, each driven by their own beliefs, they are drawn into a series of conflicts that reveal an even darker reality — a world filled with paranormal forces, fantastical entities, and ancient secrets.

The Second World War ended not in fire, but in compromise. A fragile peace was forged between the United States, the Soviet Union, and the Third Reich after Germany conquered most of Europe. With the formation of a United Nations dominated by four veto powers—USA, USSR, TR, and UK—the world avoided mutual destruction. But beneath this uneasy alliance, a new war brews: not for land or ideology, but for superiority of the human race itself. In the ashes of the old war, the Third Reich unveils Eric, a being born and bred in a laboratory—faster than bullets, stronger than tanks, and presented as the "true potential of the Aryan race." As panic ripples across the globe, the U.S. rushes to respond. Led by brilliant scientist Natalie, the CIA initiates Project Liberty, transforming returning war hero Logan into the American Sentinel—a patriotic symbol of hope in a world sliding toward chaos. In the East, the USSR crafts its answer: Nikolai, a guilt-ridden airman haunted by his past, is reborn through a pain-fueled transformation into the Red Guardian—a reluctant savior torn between duty to his nation and love for his family. As these superpowered icons rise, so do the shadows behind them: Greta, Eric's manipulative handler, schemes to rule the Reich as his empress. Rebecca, Logan’s estranged wife, seeks a life untouched by war’s long reach. Boris, a Soviet general, treats Nikolai as little more than propaganda. And hidden in the Arctic ice lies a secret that predates even Eric—the First Superman. When a global summit descends into fear and threats, and world leaders start falling mysteriously, it becomes clear that peace was only a pause. Eric seizes power in Germany and launches a new wave of conquest—first in the East, then West—threatening to turn the Earth into his empire. Caught in a three-way war between fascism, communism, and democracy, Logan and Nikolai must confront not only each other, but the deeper truth: Are they heroes of their nations, or prisoners of their flags? In the ruins of Moscow, as Eric stands poised to conquer all, the final battle will decide more than the fate of the world—it will determine what it means to be human in an age of gods.

In a fractured world where memory fuels power and the human psyche is both weapon and refuge, a dying Archive calls out to the last Seeker. Haunted by visions and hunted by forces that feed on memory, Alex Renn uncovers a hidden sanctuary — the Archive of Embers, a place where forgotten stories are planted like seeds and where pain, once written, can reshape the world. Alongside the enigmatic Nira, a memory-weaver with secrets of her own, Alex must walk the Spiral of Becoming — a path of rituals, confrontations, and awakenings — as time collapses and reality frays at the edges. But as the Pulse weakens, and truth blurs into nightmare, one question remains: Can memory save the world — or destroy what’s left of it? A slow-burn epic of identity, trauma, healing, and the quiet apocalypse.

Welcome to The Last Step – A Tale of Fate, Power, and the Unforgiven. In a world where magic defines one's worth, three souls walk a path toward an uncertain destiny—each bearing a power that can shape the fate of nations. Lucas, the God’s Chosen Sorcerer, wields divine magic that bends reality itself, blessed by forces beyond mortal comprehension. A shining beacon of hope—or a harbinger of destruction—his path is riddled with expectations he never asked for. Celia, the Queen of Curses, commands a power feared by even the strongest mages. She carries the weight of a past filled with whispers and condemnation, but where others see a curse, she sees the strength to carve her own future. Kaiser, the Unwanted Void, stands apart. Neither blessed nor cursed, he is the anomaly that should not exist. In a world that measures worth by magic, he is a shadow in the light—yet, the abyss within him holds something far greater than mere sorcery. Together, they are bound by fate yet divided by their own battles. As war brews and forgotten gods stir, the lines between hero and villain blur. In the end, their choices will decide more than just their own lives—they will determine the very foundation of their world. This is their journey. This is their Last Step.

On what was supposed to be a typical day of class for Kai, magic suddenly disappears as if it never existed in the first place. However, Kai and his sister, Kaya, are still capable of casting. What forces could rob the world of its magic, while Kai and his sister still have access to theirs? And are there other sorcerers still capable of casting?

Nate never wanted to be one of them. Thrown into an unfamiliar world of horrors, betrayals, and relentless battles, he must fight to endure. But the power he was given is not a blessing—it is a curse, one that whispers in his mind and threatens to consume him from within. To survive, he must uncover the truth behind the Nightmare Realms, the reason for their existence… and the dark secret buried within himself. Because in this world, death is not the worst fate. And the Last Nightmare is only beginning.

He is Yun Xia, the last heir of the Han Dynasty, which was destroyed by the brutality of the Ming Dynasty's forces. Yun Xia narrowly escaped death when Nan Ziang, a trusted aide of Emperor Yun Hao, took her away from the palace just as the Ming army massacred the entire royal family.

Under Cia Sun’s guidance, Yun Xia became a highly skilled martial artist by the age of twenty. Her mastery in both unarmed combat and weaponry was exceptional, and it filled Cia Sun, the Golden Lion, with pride. But a heavy burden awaits Yun Xia.
