"You had your time, gods. Now kneel... or die." In a world where power comes in the form of blessings from the divine, those touched by the gods ascend, and those abandoned rot. Born among the Forsaken, his people were cursed and chained to the lowest plane of existence. The gods turned their backs. The world forgot them. But he did not forget. And one fateful day, he found the blood of a fallen god. And he drank it. [THE CURSE OF THE FORSAKEN HAS BEEN PURGED!] [New Skill Unlocked: Extraction] Now with the ability to extract the blessings of others and make it his own, every enemy he defeats makes him stronger. He will climb the planes one by one, free his people from their curse and tear the gods down from their thrones above. They called him cursed. They called him heretic. Now they will call him the Allfather.

Hearts Between the Lines is a slow-burn, emotional young adult romance that follows Talia, a fiercely independent, party-loving medical student with few close connections, and Ezra, a kind, soft-spoken, nerdy classmate who prefers books over bars. When a random lab pairing throws them together, their clashing personalities spark unexpected chemistry—and eventually, love. But after a night of vulnerability and a drunken mistake, Ezra ghosts Talia, and the fragile relationship between them shatters. What follows is a journey of miscommunication, self-discovery, and a gradual rebuilding of trust. Through late-night calls, unsent letters, failed kisses, and second chances, Talia and Ezra slowly learn that love isn’t just about the sparks—it’s about the quiet moments, the forgiveness, and the courage to choose each other every day, no matter how imperfect the timing. A story about healing, growing up, and finding home in another person—Hearts Between the Lines is raw, messy, and utterly real.

Derik Halvorsen was born brilliant—and broken. Raised in silence by a violent ex-military father in rural Montana, Derik never cried, never connected, never forgot. By sixteen, he could dismantle any system, crack any server, and understand evil better than any therapist who ever tried to study him. And then one night… he made his first move. When his father dies under mysterious—but eerily clean—circumstances, the police rule it an accident. Derik disappears. No leads. No trace. Just one new ghost in the system. But Derik didn’t run. He evolved. Armed with a list of names—abusers, traffickers, corrupt prosecutors—he begins executing brutal, calculated murders that look like suicides, accidents, or divine punishment. Every kill is a message. Every detail, a signature. He doesn’t murder for revenge. He murders for balance. As federal agents begin to catch on, whispers spread in the underworld—someone is out there correcting the justice system’s mistakes. A living algorithm. A myth. A nightmare. But Derik isn’t hiding anymore. He’s building something. And the deeper he goes, the more powerful enemies take notice—some who don’t want to stop him… and others who want to use him. Because sometimes, the only thing worse than a broken system is the man who learns how to perfectly destroy it. ⸻ Themes • Morality vs justice • Systemic failure • Psychological trauma • The mind of a killer • Cold logic vs emotional chaos

Epic fantasy presence: Ashes Of The First Tyrant [AOTFT] Prologue – The Law of Aura They say every soul burns. Some flare brightly and fade. Others smolder quietly for a lifetime. But a rare few, rare beyond reason ignite with such intensity that the world bends to them. These are not gods. Not yet. These are the Tyrants. And their aura is not a gift. It is a weight a burden. In this world, aura is everything. It is the breath behind a sword strike, the pressure behind a command, the silent will that can crush or inspire. Most are born with it. Few master it. But only one… only one in an age awakens the Tyrant’s Spirit …the aura that dominates not by force, but by presence alone.

A few seconds later, he’s crashing into a world teeming with bizarre, semi-humanoid creatures and medieval lunacy.

Ashes of the First Flame A novel by [Francis 9439] For centuries, the world of Elaris has burned under the divine light of the First Flame, a sacred fire worshiped by the tyrannical Solar Dominion — a theocratic empire that claims godhood and unity through conquest. The Empress rules with holy fire and iron will, casting down cities that refuse her light, branding all who resist as heretics and rebels. But across the shattered lands of the Free Marches, a spark of defiance refuses to die. Kaelen Virelth, the exiled son of a disgraced noble house, is thrust into leadership after his brother is assassinated. Once a scholar and a pacifist, Kaelen becomes the reluctant face of a rebellion. As war spreads like wildfire, Kaelen must decide whether to become a killer to save the world — or lose everything he loves. On the other side of the war, Serenya Valir, a devoted priestess of the Flame, begins to question the cost of blind faith. Sent to root out traitors within the Dominion, she uncovers dark secrets buried beneath sacred temples — and a prophecy foretelling a choice that will either redeem the world or end it in ash. Amid the chaos rise other forces: the exiled Scorched Order, mage-knights blamed for a forgotten catastrophe; the elemental Aetherborn Tribes, whose magic the Dominion fears and hates; and the seductive spies of the Sable Garden, who pull strings behind every throne. As old gods stir and ancient powers awaken, love blooms between enemies, loyalty crumbles into betrayal, and the line between salvation and damnation blurs. To stop the cycle of fire and ruin, someone must destroy the First Flame — or become its final bearer. But power never dies quietly.

"Shall I tell you a little secret? But I have to warn you, you won't like it." No one likes spoilers, therefore, I present this to you. "Is it a book filled with spoilers or a book specifically about spoilers?" Read between the lines, that is what you must do when you are eager to find out. To figure out a secret, to interpret and take note of what there is to come. "It is kind of like that, but I would rather refer to it as a compilation or a series." "Or an outline, a note, reminder for what'll end up happening, whatever sounds right to you." A story that has only one plot, universe, and meaning is not how you would describe this one. Spoiler though, you'll never be satisfied. "One more thing... None of this is real. Unless you know exactly what I mean." /Extra/

n the heart of Asia’s neon underworld, whispers of a name echoed through every VIP lounge: RSR0003. A name backed by 20 billion KRW in deposit, a name you couldn’t scam, a name you’d regret crossing. Jongno wasn’t just a casino agent — he was the last real guarantee in a world full of frauds. "Telegram. RSR0003. Ask for the ledger," he’d say, handing a steel-plated card engraved with only that ID. New players, seasoned gamblers, even rival syndicates respected one thing: Verified capital. Real protection. No ‘eat-and-run’. Rumor had it he once returned 500 million won to a player who got hacked mid-bet. Just to protect the reputation. That’s not customer service. That’s legacy. And now… someone tried to fake his name.
