Ash And His Girls

From Ash, We Build

Kairo Veldt was just another man lost in routine — a quiet job, a quiet life, and dreams that never left the blueprint stage. As a safety manager at a woodworking shop, he spent more time watching others build than creating for himself. But one ordinary morning, the world changed. Without warning, reality fractured. His workplace dissolved, time froze, and a single word echoed through his soul: Create. Kairo awakens in a vast, untamed land — a place without cities, without history, without even a sky he recognizes. Others have arrived too, dazed and disoriented, drawn from different lives by something unseen. There is no instruction. No guide. Only a strange structure standing in the middle of an open field: a stone pillar called the Job Stone One by one, the Job Stone assigns each new arrival a role — Fighter, Pathfinder, Builder — based not on choice, but on some buried truth in their hearts. When Kairo is named Builder, a simple chisel appears in his hand. And in that moment, everything changes. What begins as a struggle to survive — crafting shelter, foraging food, navigating wild terrain — soon becomes something larger. Kairo starts to build not just tools and structures, but order. Systems. A way forward. He earns trust, enemies, and influence. But with creation comes conflict. Others seek to lead, to control, or to destroy what’s being built. And beyond the visible dangers of the land — orcs, beasts, even intelligent creatures — lies a greater truth: this world is reactive. It remembers. It grows. It punishes weakness, and rewards legacy. As new “waves” of arrivals appear, each starting with nothing, Kairo must choose what kind of world he’s building — and whether it’s meant for everyone, or just those strong enough to shape it. But the more he builds, the more his memories slip away. Names. Faces. Even the feeling of home. What remains is the instinct to craft, the chisel in his hand… and a vision etched into his soul: A world worth living in. A world built by human hands.

She then met with the icy red eyes that brood down upon her appearance, drinking into every inch of her figure as if he was studying her, even to how those breaths escaped her lips. "I thought we had bonded over the days we have spent together, Bella," he sang, his bright scarlet eyes betraying the singing tone he had used as it had grown so dark and filled with anger. "Yet you left so quickly as soon as I opened the castle gate." Bella gritted her teeth, her eyes glaring at him as she defiantly shook his hand off her face, "I can remind you if you have forgotten it, Your Majesty, I am kept here against my wish." Cassius' smile faded as he stared at her. The sudden pin-drop silence filled her nerves with tension as she found his smileless face the most terrifying sight. She had always known his fearsome side however, it felt scarier tonight. Bella tried to endure how loud her heart had raced against her chest, gathering her breaths together even though it remained shallow in his presence. "So cold," he muttered, his tone trying to tease her, but she could see the raw anger crossing his eyes. "You cannot run from me. Not after what we've done. Not after what you promised." Her heart faltered. She wasn't supposed to stay in this castle; she knew that the royal palace was filled with those vampire monsters who would kill for their desire, simply to have fun. She knew she should never give her heart to any of these monsters, and she had once believed she would never. But that was until Cassius came. She had made that promise because her heart had betrayed her, and she wished that she had never uttered that promise. Promises she had made to him on the call of love. Yet deep within her, a part of her still crave for him. "You're not the first one I have broken my promises with," she gritted her teeth and looked up at him, "I broke my promise the way you broke yours first, isn't it fair?" "Fair? Then was everything a lie, Arabella?" he murmured, his hands cupping her face, forcing her to meet his eyes. "You were mine the moment you entered my castle. And you will be mine until the very end." She gulped as his eyes shone underneath the moonlight, his gaze unforgiving over her, exposing his wild hunger. Her breath caught, her pulse quickening. "A human and a vampire should have never stayed together. They were all right." "I don't care," he spoke through his clenched jaw. "You're going to remain here by my side forever."

Ashes of a Billionaire

He was the man who had it all — not just born with a silver spoon, but a diamond spoon. A walking empire. A storm dressed in silk. Billionaire by brilliance, desired by millions, envied by all. With a mind like a machine, a body sculpted like a god, and a soul untouched by emotions, he ruled the world without a flicker of remorse. Women flocked to him. Men feared him. The word “love” was just a distraction — until fate turned its back. Betrayed by shadows in his empire, his car crashes under mysterious circumstances. The world mourns a king. But the gods don’t let go so easily. Blessed by the karmic legacy of his great-grandparents — saints who once helped the poor and earned divine blessings — he is given a second chance. A cruel one. Now, he awakens in the fragile body of a poor boy. No wealth. No identity. No control. But the mind of a billionaire remains. And so does the attitude. As he struggles through a harsh world of poverty and injustice, he'll need to learn what he always lacked — empathy, love, friendship, and vulnerability. The journey will be brutal. The climb, steeper than before. But he is not alone. His secretary from the past life, a quiet, calculating man with fierce loyalty and secrets of his own, is also reborn and finds him again — not as a servant this time, but as an equal, and perhaps... a rival. And then there's her — a woman from his past, from the golden halls of his empire. Someone he barely noticed — maybe a staff member, a caterer, or even just a girl waiting in line at his charity gala. She had seen him, admired him, maybe even loved him from afar. In this life, she's not afraid to challenge him, mock him, and strip away his arrogance, bit by bit. She remembers him. He doesn’t remember her. But fate has a plan. Now, in this second life — where power can't be bought, and respect must be earned — he must rebuild everything from scratch, learning not just how to be a king again… but how to be human.

[Discontinued] Crown of Ash and Bonds (Original Version)

Seraphina D’Lorien was raised to lead with grace, bound by duty, and destined to carry on her noble house’s legacy. As the Duchess of House D’Lorien and wife to the ambitious Alaric Vessant, she was meant to be a symbol of stability in a crumbling empire. Instead, she was accused of treason, chained at the pyre, and sentenced to burn. The empire turned its back. Her husband watched in silence. Her cousin Evelyne wept in public, but behind her tears was a smile no one else noticed. And only Evelyne knew that Seraphina was carrying a child. That secret died in the fire. Or so they thought. But Seraphina did not stay dead. She awakens in her chambers, unburned, unbound, and alive. Everything around her is exactly as it was, except now, she remembers everything. The lies. The betrayal. The flame. And the child she never got to protect. With no one aware of what truly happened, Seraphina pretends to resume her former life. But she no longer trusts, no longer hopes, and no longer believes justice will come on its own. By day, she smiles at her husband’s side. By night, she stalks the empire’s shadows, gathering secrets, unraveling documents, and finding cracks in the system that tried to erase her. Her quest leads her to Caelan Vorenthal, the Warden General, an enigmatic, masked warrior with no tolerance for corruption and a past as shadowed as her own. What begins as cautious cooperation becomes something deeper, as Seraphina uncovers a conspiracy stretching back years. Her marriage had been arranged not for love, but as a calculated maneuver. Her family’s fall was no accident. It was orchestrated. Her life, her title, even her pain were all used as leverage in a political game she never agreed to play. And now, she is rewriting the rules. Just as she prepares to move against the court, assassins strike. Seraphina survives, but the message is clear. Someone knows she is no longer a pawn. War brews in the corridors of power, and every ally she gains makes her more of a threat. Through ink, blade, and bloodless subterfuge, Seraphina prepares to dismantle the empire that once watched her burn. One forged document, one ruined house, one false oath at a time. The court believes she has been tamed. But Seraphina D’Lorien is no longer theirs to control. She is the flame reborn, and this time she decides who burns.

Ash-Forged Sovereign

Ash-Forged Sovereign delves into the harrowing journey of Lysander, an ordinary individual from our world who unexpectedly finds himself reborn as a minor, inconsequential noble within the brutal fantasy novel, The Crimson Blade. His new identity, Lysander Thorne, comes with a terrifying caveat: he is merely an 'extra,' destined to die a pathetic, ignoble death during the climactic Siege of Oakhaven, a mere plot device to fuel the true hero's rise. Refusing to accept his preordained demise, Lysander leverages his unique meta-knowledge of the novel's intricate plot, characters, and forgotten lore. Driven by the relentless ambition of an "exiled noble plotting their return," he transforms from a terrified pawn into a cunning mastermind. His first audacious move comes amidst the chaos of the siege, where he strategically manipulates forgotten defenses to orchestrate the catastrophic collapse of the West Gate, obliterating the enemy's main assault and defying his fated end. Having escaped certain death and caused an undeniable ripple in the narrative, Lysander must now navigate the treacherous politics of his new world. He faces the formidable High Commander Valerius, where his sharp intellect and calculated rhetoric are his only weapons. Through sheer cunning, he justifies his insubordinate, yet effective, actions, earning not punishment, but a new, "unconventional" assignment directly under the High Commander's watchful eye. Ash-Forged Sovereign is the tale of a man who was supposed to be a footnote, now forging his own path through fire and strategy. It explores Lysander's relentless drive to reshape his destiny, acquiring both the wits of a true strategist and the tangible powers necessary to become not just a survivor, but a formidable force capable of writing his own legendary tale.
