In the glittering, snake-infested court of Ignis, where power was a double-edged sword and loyalty a rare gem, Selanthia Amaris Nyxveil stood as a legend cloaked in infamy. Known by many names—*The Hound of the Emperor*, **The Cursed Sword*, **The Witch of Nyxveil*, and *The Abandoned One*—she was a weapon forged by duty and sharpened by betrayal. For forty long years, she served as the Emperor’s blade, cutting down threats to the throne with ruthless precision. Yet, behind the cold steel and the icy gaze, Selanthia harbored no love for the crown or the vipers who surrounded it. She was a woman bound by fate, not choice. At 48, weary of the endless machinations of the court, Selanthia chose to retire. With no family to call her own, she left behind the gilded cage of Ignis for the simplicity of the countryside. Her dreams were modest: to bake sweet treats, tend to chickens, lose herself in books she’d never had time to read, and find solace in the quiet rhythm of church prayers. A peaceful, ordinary life—a stark contrast to the blood-stained path she had walked for decades. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Just 28 hours into her newfound tranquility, Selanthia’s life was brutally cut short. Poisoned and attacked in the dead of night, she breathed her last beneath a cold, uncaring sky. Her final thoughts were not of vengeance or regret for the life she had led, but of the life she had never known. She wished for love, for a kind and handsome partner, for children whose laughter might have filled the void in her heart. She wished she had never taken up the sword, that she might have written a different ending to her tale. Yet, death was not the end. Selanthia awoke not in the afterlife but in a world both familiar and strange. Perched high in a cherry blossom tree, she was greeted by the voice of Rina, her long-dead confidante. Now, thrust into a bewildering new reality, Selanthia must unravel the threads of this strange second chance. Is this a cruel jest of the gods, a dream spun from her dying regrets, or something far more sinister? And why, of all people, THAT MAN—who disappeared without a word— is acting all weird? As the petals of the cherry blossoms fall around her, Selanthia finds herself caught in a web of mystery, romance, and perhaps, redemption. But in this enchanted new life, where nothing is as it seems, can she unravel the twist of life brought forward by THAT MAN? Or will the shadows of her past rise to claim her once more?

Chifuyu’s life is flipped upside down when he’s brought into the world of hunters and vampires. His tale will bring happiness, laughter, sadness, and pain to himself as well as those around him. A new journey begins. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com *** Hello to all those reading and thank you for taking the time to check out my series. This is my first story that I'm posting online and I am serious about writing Vampire Legacy to be the best it can be. Though I do need to make clear that the first 100-200 chapters will be a mix of comedy and serious arcs. This will be a fantasy action story just as much as a comedy/slice of life story until the true plot kicks in. I plan to go all in with the comedy, then when we get to a certain turning point, the breaks will not stop with 13 long continuous serious arcs that will go until the finale. This novel will definitely be at least 500 chapters. I hope you all stay and see what I have to offer. *The cover is fanart for the anime The Case Study of Vanitas. I’m using it instead of the basic book cover until I draw the key visual myself.*

Website:www.fundsreclaimercompany.com WhatsApp:+13612504110 New York is home to many vibrant communities, and as a volunteer for a small nonprofit organization called Hope for All, I was responsible for managing our online donations. These donations were crucial for supporting our programs, including providing food, shelter, and educational workshops to families in need. Hope for All relied heavily on these funds to continue making a difference in people’s lives. One day, I received an email that seemed routine—an update request for our donation platform. Trusting it to be legitimate, I followed the instructions and transferred our donation page to a new website. The platform appeared professional, and everything seemed secure, so I didn’t think twice. But when I checked our account a few days later, I was horrified to discover that AUD 10,000 had been stolen. It became clear that our account had been hacked, and the funds had been transferred to an offshore account through a fraudulent platform. Devastated, I immediately contacted FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY, hoping they could help. I provided them with all the details: the fake website's URL, transaction records, and email correspondence with the hacker. The team at FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY was incredibly supportive, and they assured me they would do everything possible to recover the stolen funds. Their team, skilled in digital forensics, quickly began tracing the hacker’s digital footprint. Within a short time, they identified the offshore account where the funds had been transferred. Working closely with international authorities and financial institutions, they managed to freeze the account and begin the process of recovering the money. After a few intense weeks, I received the incredible news that FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY had successfully recovered the AUD 10,000. The relief was overwhelming. Thanks to their tireless efforts, Hope for All was able to continue supporting our community programs without interruption. The impact of their work went beyond just recovering the funds. They restored our faith in humanity and gave us the opportunity to continue our mission. Without FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY, we would have been left in a very difficult position, but with their expertise, our programs could continue helping those in need.

The Loved Ones Reunion The 'Reunion Week' was the happiest and busiest moment of the year among the ancient Sudanese kingdoms. It was the most celebrated festive season full of events that lasted one week throughout the kingdoms. The usual festivities in the week included special prayer sessions, alms giving, wrestling, boxing, drumming, dances, singing, visitation to family members and durbar. Each head of the household would buy no less than seven new clothes for every member of his household, so that they wore new clothes on every day of the week. It was a thing of gossip if a legitimate son of the Sudan soil could not wear new clothes in each of the seven days of the 'reunion week'. On the last day of the reunion week the reigning monarchs of all the kingdoms would assemble in the most central kingdom of Kagadama, to take the crucial administrative, economic and social decisions that would affect their kingdoms in the coming year. Apart from her location, there was a historic reason why the monarchs assembled in Kagadama city. Kagadama was the place where the great grandparents of the monarchs accidentally met long ago and took most critical decisions that were still affecting the lives of every Sudanese citizen.
