Of Flames and Gold

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic. Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end? A/N: It starts out SLOW, because I tend to get lost in the pages and be descriptive but once it gets to the action, it really picks up! Looking forward to growing with you all on this journey!!!

Sovereign of Time and Space

Sovereign of Time and Space When you gaze upon the stars, have you ever wondered if you are merely a speck of dust on the grand chessboard of the universe? Long Hua, an ordinary high school physics teacher, has lived a quiet and uneventful life for thirty years. Since childhood, he has been able to perceive anomalies in light that no one else could see—but he kept this secret buried deep within. Until one seemingly ordinary physics class, when a single beam of extraordinary light tore through the veil of reality. A mysterious English teacher, an ancient tome called the Void Codex, and a strange compass left by his father led him onto a path that spanned ancient eras and interstellar frontiers. The universe is far more vast than humanity has ever imagined. High-Level Planets command time and space, freely traversing past and future. Mid-Level Planets have mastered faster-than-light travel, roaming the galaxies. Low-Level Planets, like Earth, still stumble at the fringes of the cosmos, blind to their insignificance. As Long Hua deciphers the mysteries of the Void Codex, his consciousness pierces the barriers of time and space. He studies celestial arts in an ancient cultivation world, experiences non-material existence in an energy-based civilization, and meets an alternate version of himself in a parallel Earth… But those who wield great power are never alone. And the path to enlightenment is never unchallenged. The Unification Order seeks to erase the multiverse, restoring a singular reality. The Time Guardians enforce cosmic laws, forbidding civilizations from accelerating their evolution. The Multiversal Protectors fight to preserve diversity—but they are hopelessly outmatched. With the cosmic chessboard already set, Long Hua realizes: Every choice he makes shapes Earth's destiny. Every revelation he gains disturbs the fragile balance of the universe. He will walk the river of time and roam across parallel worlds. He will uncover the essence of existence and forge a new path for civilization. As the secrets of time and space unfold before his eyes, as the truth of the universe is laid bare, the once-ordinary physics teacher will become the guiding force that leads Earth toward the stars— the true Sovereign of Time and Space. --- Sovereign of Time and Space—a breathtaking epic by QingMing. A fusion of Eastern mysticism and Western science fiction, an awe-inspiring journey across time, space, and the destiny of civilizations.
