Broken Rules

In a world where power is forged through cultivation, innovation, and unyielding will, Layla al-Zahira, a former queen reborn into the fragile body of Meilin Wuye, heir to the crumbling Silver Lotus Sect. Haunted by memories of her past life—a reign marked by both triumphs and failures—Layla must navigate a delicate balance between rebuilding the sect and confronting the shadows of her own legacy. Her resolve is tested as she transforms the dying institution into a beacon of progress. Yet, Layla’s path is far from solitary. Enter Atlas Ryland, the enigmatic merchant behind Ryl Trading, whose manipulative genius masks a fractured psyche and hidden motives. Bound by contracts and mutual survival, Atlas becomes both ally and wildcard, his actions rippling across the empire as he challenges Emperor Jinhai’s iron grip on trade and power. Emery Voss, a brilliant scholar-engineer obsessed with pushing humanity beyond its limits, partners with Zafira al-Rahim, a vengeful revolutionary driven by the ghosts of oppression. Together, they unravel the mysteries of Layla’s unfinished inventions, repurposing them for war even as Emery grapples with the ethical implications of their work.

"Patriarch Sun, your sect is now a well - known Sword Sect in the cultivation world of the Northern Region. How do you evaluate Dean Xu?" "I often tell experts that Dean Xu is my idol. When others were hunting him down, he instead tried to make friends and forge partnerships. The disciples he trained were sold to other sects once they reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Now, his disciples are everywhere, and he has a vast network of people." "Then, how do the senior figures of the Demonic Path here view Dean Xu? He has been hiding his identity and mingling in the Demonic Path for several..." "Reporter, stop talking nonsense! Our sect master is the most famous demon in the Southern Border. The person you mentioned has nothing to do with him!" "All right, all right. Then, I'd like to ask Acting Patriarch Qin. As the largest sect in Xize, the Illusory Sea Sect. Dean Xu is secretly in control behind the scenes and has carried out financial frauds, involving countless sects. Now, the creditors are protesting outside our venue. How do you respond?" "This is ridiculous. Our sect master doesn't even have the surname Xu. Besides, we have no creditors at all. The creditors all died in the scramble for the ancient cultivation inheritance. Those people outside are just rival sects trying to cause trouble for us on purpose." "But according to our investigation, the ancient cultivation inheritance is a new grave built by Dean Xu, and not everyone inside was killed by the explosion..." "I'm warning you! This is blatant slander!" "Let's put this question aside for now. So, how do the demon tribes in the Eastern Wasteland view him?"

"Broken World" is set on Kowareta Sekai Island, a mysterious place where inhabitants are trapped by a barrier that prevents them from leaving. The island is divided into districts controlled by powerful clans, each with unique abilities derived from a special energy called KAN (Keino Area Notice). The story follows Felix Fletcher, a former juvenile delinquent who seeks to escape the island and explore the world beyond. Felix's journey begins after his release from a correctional center, where he reunites with his family and best friend, Damian Denver. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when Michaelis Miller, leader of the powerful Emo-Jin Empire, attempts to kill him. This event sets off a chain of battles and alliances as Felix forms his own war clan, the Fletcher Clan: Remastered, to counter the threats against him. As the story unfolds, Felix faces numerous challenges, including a massive bounty on his head and a complex web of clan politics. He discovers that his father, Frederick Fletcher, is behind the bounty and seeks to create a ruthless warrior lineage. This revelation leads to a climactic battle where Felix and his allies confront his father. Throughout the narrative, Felix's character evolves significantly, particularly after the tragic loss of Damian, who is later resurrected in a surprising twist. The story also explores themes of power, loyalty, and the true nature of the island's barrier, which begins to crumble at the end, hinting at larger mysteries to be uncovered in future volumes.

Warning: 18+, Reverse Harem ◜◝◟◞◜◝◟◞◜◝◟◞◜◝◟◞◜◝◟◞ Bloodmoon Nation, a country far to the east of the Earth and far away from humans where wolf shifters reside, namely, werewolves. After the King's demise in a mysterious circumstance, Luciana thought the Wolf Throne would be assigned to her, but the court announced her to be ineligible for the throne. Why? The reason was simple, because she was a female, a Luna. And according to the Wolf Court, the throne belonged to the male-blood Alpha. Not someone like her. So who would rule the nation? The next heir? Her step brother was too young and her cousin brother was long dead. Under this situation, the misogynist Prime Minister came up with the remarkable solution. He brought up the law of Emergency and proposed to the princess for marriage in hope of becoming a Regent King. But Luciana was smart. She hand picked a husband for herself, a man who was ex-military and was blind. "How do you expect a blind man to rule?" Dylan remarked while 'looking' at Luciana through his blindfold. "If I simply put my words, you don't. You will sit like a good boy in the Wolf Throne and deliver words, not yours but mine. Understood?" Luciana smirked as she played with her hands on the table and sang in the victory against Prime Minister. When Luciana thought she won the game against the Prime Minister, she was very wrong. One cannot win over a greedy and determine person. Prime Minister who desired the throne and almost grasped it, couldn't let it slip away from his hand. While the former game was ended by Luciana, it was time for him to begin another. The game to win her heart. Heart of the Luna who rose above her prime and ruled the world behind the veil.

After we were both finished, I just lay beside him. I stared at the ceiling, trying to catch my breath. I got up to get dressed; I wanted to go home to our house in Bulacan. I could still catch a ride, even though it was already late at night. "You still haven't answered my question from earlier, will you be my girlfriend, Kyla?" he asked, his tone serious and sincere. I paused briefly as I was putting on my pants. But I chose not to answer that question. The question I had longed for him to ask me, but now I preferred not to hear. It was so confusing. I remained silent, finishing dressing in front of him. I was about to walk out the door when he asked again. "Are you even capable of loving, Kyla?" he asked, his voice sad, but I could feel the disgust in his question. It hit me. It hurt so much. That was the second question I wasn't expecting tonight. I took a deep breath because I was on the verge of breaking down. "No. You know the rules about these things, Yuhan. Sex is all I could offer. It's all about sex," I answered without hesitation. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Please lock the front door when you leave," he said, and then he lay face down on his bed. I just stared at him, one last look before I left the room."

I spent my whole life in luxury, among people who loved me or at least pretended so. I never had to care for anything, all was given to me. From one day to another I became a prince of nothing. A former royalty with no family, no power and no bright hope for the future. Even worse, I was sold as a slave. However I will not give up. I might be young, alone and inexperienced but I will learn to fight for myself, get my revenge and find my own place in this world. … I hope so at least.
