The Disguise of a Man from the Mystical Legendary Land in Ruined World

In a world on the brink of collapse, where the mystical essence of magic is fading and ancient technology crumbles into oblivion, the land of Aerth is torn apart by an unending war. Aetherium, the lifeblood of magic and innovation, has nearly been depleted, leaving the Eastern and Western factions locked in a desperate struggle for survival. The West is ruled by The Despot, a ruthless and shadowy tyrant whose reign thrives on fear, greed, and suffering. With his cunning right-hand man, Euro, The Despot has shattered the fragile peace between the factions, plunging the East into chaos through manipulation and betrayal. Distrust festers among its leaders, and once-proud alliances crumble under the weight of internal conflict. Amid this devastation, whispers of a mysterious figure begin to spread—a man whose origins are tied to a fabled land long thought to exist only in legend. His presence defies explanation, his movements swift and unpredictable. Cloaked in secrecy, he works from the shadows to dismantle The Despot’s carefully laid plans, striking at the heart of his empire with uncanny precision. Even Euro’s unparalleled intelligence network fails to uncover his identity. Who is this enigmatic figure? Is he truly from the legendary land of myths, or is he simply a master of disguise, a man forged by the ruins of this shattered world? As the East's last hope, Princess Cino Shikai, fights to hold her people together, this man’s true purpose becomes a question of salvation or destruction. His actions could tip the scales of the war, but whether toward redemption or ruin remains uncertain. "The Disguise of a Man from the Mystical Legendary Land in a Ruined World" weaves a tale of intrigue, rebellion, and the search for hope in a world where legends collide with reality, and every choice carries the weight of a civilization’s survival.

Tales of Nashirah : As It Is

A boy, transmigrates & is reborn into a turbulent world, gaining the inheritance of a Mystical Cultivation Senior. He finds himself as the son of a once-noble father, cast out from his clan and stripped of lineage in the Republic of Kratos. Given enough time he would surely follow the footsteps of the Inheritor & he could rise above the ranks, seize control of his illusory Immortal fate, and carve his name into history.

Yet beneath the calm & peace-loving surface, storms brew. Spirit energies surge, heralding the dawn of a New Era. Hidden orthodoxies long shrouded in secrecy bare their fangs, secular powerhouses grasp desperately at the fleeting hope of Sole unification of Nashirah, and the devils of the Sith Paths weave their vast, insidious net. Even the remnants of defeated forces stir, waiting for rebellion. Meanwhile, weaker states, like the fractured kingdoms & Republics, scramble for mere survival. In this chaotic land of Nashirah, even the Immortal-level Mages find themselves racing against time. Amidst these tides of destiny, Sargon must forge his path. Who will stand by him as allies, and who will rise against him as enemies? What trials, tribulations, and opportunities will shape his journey? As the World of Rivers and Lakes of this world churn with strife, one question remains: Can Sargon, with the fleeting time he possesses, grasp the elusive path to immortality?"

Sinner of the Spades

'Sinner of the Spades' takes place in an alternate early 20th century, at the turn of industrial advancement. Set in a world where one Empire rules over the majority of the western continent, the world is ravaged by the aftereffects of a great war. It is a world of tragedy, of longing for wealth, of parading high above the clouds, of mechanical automatons, and of grand tales of sorcery not many have had the chance to see themselves. Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change. Although, that change is not always a good thing. Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes. To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force. This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar. —- “We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft. --- Cover illustration done by @i_evuuu/Everest

Chains Of The Crescent Moon

Set in a rich, fictional world where two vastly different kingdoms collide, Chains of the Crescent Moon weaves a tale of rebellion, forbidden love, and the fight for freedom. In the opulent Western kingdom of Luthadel, Prince Alden Roderic wrestles with his duty to uphold the traditions of a corrupt monarchy, including the brutal enslavement of conquered people. Torn between his role as heir and his growing disillusionment with the kingdom’s cruelty, Alden finds himself at a crossroads when he encounters Na-na, a fierce warrior princess from the fallen Eastern empire of Eryndor. Marked by a crescent moon tattoo symbolizing her royal lineage, Na-na is captured and enslaved after her homeland is destroyed. Their worlds couldn’t be more different. Na-na’s fiery spirit and refusal to submit challenge everything Alden has ever known, while Alden’s quiet strength forces Na-na to confront her own prejudices about the enemy she swore to hate. As a language barrier and deep-seated cultural divides threaten to keep them apart, they reluctantly form an alliance to dismantle the oppressive systems that enslave their people. Meanwhile, a parallel story unfolds in the distant East, where General Xian Feng, a cunning strategist from Na-na’s homeland, orchestrates a rebellion to reclaim Eryndor’s lost glory. Xian’s fate becomes intertwined with the Western kingdom when he discovers a dangerous secret buried deep within the heart of Luthadel—a secret that could either ignite a revolution or destroy both kingdoms entirely. As Alden and Na-na’s relationship deepens, their shared vision for justice propels them into a battle not just against a tyrannical regime but against the prejudices and traditions that have defined their lives. With alliances forged in the shadows and betrayals lurking at every corner, the pair must confront their personal demons while leading a rebellion that threatens to unravel the very fabric of their world. Will they succeed in uniting two fractured kingdoms, or will the chains of their past drag them into ruin? Chains of the Crescent Moon is a sweeping tale of love and revolution, where the fight for freedom comes at a cost—and where the heart of a kingdom is reborn in the ashes of rebellion.

Cultivation Fever

After escaping his pit of despair, Oscar wonders if reincarnating into the world of his dreams saved him, or plunged him into newfound terrors. Forced to become strong with no endpoint in sight, he cultivates through infancy, relying on the only thing the elder gave him. The mystical Soul Becoming World Technique. With his past life’s experience and knowledge of cultivation novels, Oscar expected it to be easy. But of course, it wasn’t that simple. From demonic trials to family torment, even his early years were fraught with pain. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cultivation Fever is a Western interpretation of the Chinese Cultivation genre, focusing heavily on realistic progression, lifelike characters, and emotional turmoil. As an avid reader of the genre, the lacklustre stories, shallow characters, and shoddy translations consistently disappointed me, so I strived to write an original high-quality interpretation with real depth. If you're a fan of gritty, realistic fantasy, you'll love this series. If you have never heard of cultivation, this book is a perfect start that eases you into the core concepts of Chinese martial fantasy. For die-hard fans, it is a fresh take on the genre with deep character development, diving into the brutal reality of cultivation.
