Wildfire

Over a century has passed since the divine war tore the sky apart. The gates of Hell were shattered. Magic spread like wildfire. And though the gods have fallen silent, the world still burns with the consequences. In a quiet village far from the whispers of fate, two brothers live with their ailing mother and older sibling — until the night everything is lost to flame. Left with nothing but hope, Raiken makes a promise to his older brother to protect his younger brother, Ren, no matter the cost. Thrust into a world shaped by forgotten wars, cursed swords, and secret orders, the brothers must face a future built on ruins — and a destiny forged long before they were born. Some oaths are bound by blood. Others, by something far more dangerous.

“I will build the greatest magic guild in the world, become the Khalifah Magic, and find INANIS!” A boy named Kael Luminous shouted to the endless sea. In a world with no continents — only millions of islands scattered across three great oceans. The Western Yellow Ocean. The Southern Red Ocean. The Central Green Ocean. Amidst these scattered seas, a rebellious magic guild was born. The Gild Dwan Magic Guild, the only guild brave enough to stand against the World Government formed by the three kingdoms that ruled each ocean. Gild Dwan declared war, defying the caste system that trampled the common folk. The nobles, blessed with stronger magic and bodies favored by mana, forged a cruel order in which they alone decided who would live and who would die — while the powerless, those with no magic and no favor from mana, could only obey. Gild Dwan became the first spark of rebellion. Led by Rajendra, the guild cornered the World Government with a devastating magic he called INANIS. The war between Gild Dwan and the World Government dragged on for years. In the end, Rajendra fell ill and died — but before drawing his last breath, he left behind a final vow: "I have hidden the magic I named INANIS in a place at the edge of the world. Seek it out, and conquer the world with it." Word of his dying words spread like wildfire, and thus began the Era of Magic Guilds. Adventurers rose up everywhere, founding guilds and setting sail for the ends of the earth to claim INANIS for themselves. They sailed with countless dreams in their hearts: INANIS is power. INANIS is wealth. INANIS is peace. And INANIS is a threat. Of course, the World Government, ruled by the magic nobility, would not stand by and do nothing. To them, INANIS was an abomination that could topple their reign. This is the story of a boy who dreams of building the greatest magic guild the world has ever known — who sails the boundless oceans in search of INANIS, and who dares to challenge the tyranny of merciless rulers.

[Trigger Warning: This dark fantasy romance contains mature themes.] --- SYNOPSIS: •A WORLD BUILT ON LIES• Long ago, humans lived unaware of the supernatural beings hidden among them—werewolves with their primal instincts, witches whispering spells in the dark, and elves with their ancient, watchful eyes. For centuries, they coexisted in fragile silence. Then, everything shattered. Near the shadow-drenced woods of the Shadow pack kingdom, human traveler stumbled upon a gruesome scene: an old woman’s lifeless body, her skin ashen, her wounds gaping like accusations. A few paces away lay a dead werewolf, its throat ripped open, its muzzle still flecked with blood. The truth was undeniable—monsters walked among them. Fear ignited war. Humans, armed with fire and steel, hunted the supernatural races. Witches and elves were dragged into the slaughter, their homes burned, their people butchered. The bloodshed raged until King Alfred V of the Amethyst Kingdom stood before the four Werewolf Kings—Silverhowl, Crimsonheart, Shadow, and Wildfire—and offered a deal drenched in poison. A sacrifice for peace. Every twenty years, each human family would surrender a daughter to the werewolves. And in return, the future Alpha Kings must wed a human—or the war would reignite. The werewolves agreed. The witches and elves retreated, their hatred festering like an open wound. The world remained fractured, its peace a fragile lie. --- •THE PROPHECY OF FIRE• In the hidden Blaze Tribe, where crimson eyes burned like embers, the seer Prophetia foresaw annihilation. "Our people will fall," she rasped, her voice trembling. "But from the ashes, a girl will rise—the one who will bring true peace… and the one they will slaughter for it." The tribe made a desperate pact. They would cast a spell—a curse of forgotten memory—erasing their existence from the world’s mind. Their souls would be the price, but their legacy would live on in Ovelia, the child of prophecy. The night the Blaze Tribe fell, Ovelia’s parents hid her in the whispering forest, their hands shaking as they sealed a goddess—Firera—inside her infant body. Then, they turned to face their doom. --- •FATE’S CRUEL WHISPER• Ace Draven—half-werewolf, half-witch prince of Silverhowl—had never believed in destiny. Until he found a crying infant in the forest. His wolf, Fenrir, howled in recognition. A crimson thread shimmered between them—mates. But Firera, watching from within Ovelia’s soul, snarled. "She’s a child. This is too soon." With a flick of her wrist and spell, she tore the memory from Ace’s mind, leaving only an empty ache in his chest. --- •TWENTY YEARS LATER: A SACRIFICE IGNITES• Ovelia has spent her life as a slave, raised by the cruel mayor of Timberline Village—a man who would gladly sacrifice her to spare his own daughter. The night of the sacrifice, the air reeks of damp earth and iron. Torches flicker as the werewolves emerge from the shadows. And then—Ace Draven steps forward. Their eyes meet. Fenrir *howls*. Ace’s claws unsheathe, his breath ragged. "You…" He doesn’t understand why his wolf is clawing at his ribs, why his pulse hammers at the sight of this stranger. But the bond between them burns hotter than vengeance. Ovelia doesn’t know him. He doesn’t recognize her. And yet, their souls scream in unison.

When 18-year-old Chu Miao dies in a tragic car accident, her soul vanishes; but her body does not remain empty for long. A formidable warrior from an ancient era, the daughter of a renowned general, awakens in her place. Sent into the future by a prophecy, she finds herself in a world on the brink of destruction. With only a month before typhoons ravage the land, extreme weather shifts without warning, and terrifying mutations transform animals and plants into deadly threats. Worst of all, a horrifying virus spreads like wildfire, turning humans into flesh-eating zombies. Civilization crumbles and only the strongest survive. Though her new body lacks the powerful cultivation she once had, she still possesses an invaluable advantage; her ancient spatial ring. Filled with elixirs, weapons, demonic beast cores, and rare cultivation resources, it becomes her greatest tool for survival. But modern supplies are also essential, and she must act fast to stockpile resources before the apocalypse fully takes hold. As chaos reigns, she fights to protect her family and secure a foothold in this brutal new world. Along the way, she crosses paths with a mysterious and powerful man, one of the rare few who awaken supernatural abilities and is just as determined to survive. Together, they forge an unbreakable bond, battling both the relentless undead and the desperate survivors willing to kill for a chance to live. Armed with ancient wisdom and modern strategy, she refuses to bow to fate. In this new life, she will rise again—not as a lost soul from the past, but as a warrior destined to rule the apocalypse.

In a village untouched by war and magic, Draven has only ever known the heat of the forge and the weight of a hammer. Raised by a quiet blacksmith and bound by routine, his world is simple—until the day it isn’t. Whispers stir in the trees. Shadows stretch longer than they should. And deep inside Draven, something begins to tremble… something ancient. As unease spreads through Mirevale, a force neither seen nor spoken of begins to move—drawn to Draven for reasons he doesn't yet understand. This is not a tale of fate or prophecy. It is the spark before the wildfire. The beginning of the last EmberBorn.

Ingrid Dolph, a lowly she-wolf happens to be in her ripe age of locating her mate. And it was during this time that the rumor about a dragon egg spread like wildfire and everyone was asked to hunt for it. Whoever finds it will have a greater share and unbelievable privileges. Excited for the hunt, Ingrid takes part in it with the motive of finding it and bargaining for its blood and scale. But as fate would have it, she didn't just find it but that same dragon turns out to be her mate. ***** ~{SNEAK PREVIEW}~ As I got close, I came to realize that it was a full grown naked man. What? A man? How was the dragon a man? Suddenly I growled and groaned as my body grew hot by just the sight of it. What was wrong with me? Could it be that my wolf side was affected by the dragon because of the smell of its blood? Disregarding the fact that he was naked, I approached him and my breathing became labored as my senses heightened to an intense level I never knew possible. When I saw how he curled himself in a fetal position with his hand holding his bloody abdomen, my blood boiled and I punched the rock he was laying close to. “Who would dare do such a thing to him!” I angrily said aloud and that was when his eyes opened causing my breath to get caught in my throat. He was breathtaking! His lashes were white as his eyebrows and they shimmered while his iris were gray in color. “Ingrid,” he breathed out and my eyes widened at the fact that he knew my name.

Bella Rivers didn’t come to Whitethorn Academy looking for a second chance. She came to disappear in a new world. After a scandal blew up her life back home, she wanted to be somewhere no one knew her name — not the boy who leaked her nudes, and especially not the best friend who gave nothing but pure evil in return for her love. Fresh in a new school in the heart of the forest — much to Bella’s preference — she blends in like a chameleon. Sensing the energy from the last living descendant of the cursed Moonblood line, four boys — powerful and untouchable, the Greek gods — start circling around her like they’ve picked up a scent. “Did I become this beautiful overnight?” Bella questions herself. But when her skin burns beneath the moonlight and a mark blooms on her wrist like wildfire, Bella realizes she didn’t come here to escape her past. In fact, she possesses something entirely sensational — wilder than her dreams. Whatever’s been sleeping inside her? It has awakened hungry. And it doesn’t care who it burns to reclaim its throne.

Earth—once a place where all species lived, whether through peace or violence, with one universal truth: everyone was equal. That truth shattered when they arrived . It began when something fell—giant black orbs, crashing into the hearts of major cities across every country. No one knew what they were. But what emerged from them changed everything. From those impact sites came creatures of pure darkness, beings that devoured light—not just the kind that brightened streets or homes, but the very light in people’s eyes. Hope. Will. Life. Fear spread like wildfire. Humanity's greatest weapons—tanks, missiles, even nuclear force—meant nothing. You can't kill the void with fire. You can't destroy something born to erase. For years, the world fell. And then... a miracle. From the ruins, certain people began to awaken with powers. No reason. No explanation. But they could fight. They could hold the darkness back. And in their defiance, humanity found something it had lost: Hope. But hope is fragile. A thousand years have passed. The monsters never stopped, and the world never truly recovered. The great cities of the old world remain buried under ash and shadow. Humanity, broken and tired, stopped trying to rebuild them. Instead, they forged new cities—small, scattered sanctuaries stitched together from the remnants of civilization. Now, the world is ruled by those who have risen to the pinnacle of their abilities—warriors, wielders of impossible power, some spoken of as gods in mortal flesh. But even gods can tremble. Because everything is about to change. All because of one person. Devon.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A DEVIL FALLS IN LOVE? *** Alice was told that she was cursed. Perhaps she didn't need to be told. It was as clear as day. The only thing she wanted was MONEY. And she would do anything to get it. Even if it meant pretending to be her twin sister to change her fate. For one year. She didn't mind being a fake and marrying the Wildfire Heir. He would barely be around, she had been told. 'He doesn't seem like much trouble,' she had also been told. 'The third son, on the other hand, is crazy. Stay away from him.' 'As for the second son... avoid him at all costs.' 'Do not cross his path.' But she did. She crossed his path. In fact, she went right into his path herself. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the groom was changed at the last minute. To the Second Son! He was as hot as he was cold. A terrifyingly sexy man who looked like the man she always saw in her dreams. Was this all merely a coincidence? But that wasn't all. She hadn't expected pretending to be her sister to be this tough. First of all, she missed a very important detail: her sister was a Lawyer. She, on the other hand, was only familiar with "You have the right to remain silent..." Secondly, her sister was picky. She was vegetarian. She didn't drink. And... she was bullied? And just maybe... there was more to her sudden disappearance. Her life was about to get much more complicated. Especially with those scary blue eyes watching her every move like a predator on a mission. One year. Was the benefit worth it—worth putting her life on the line to deceive the Wildfires? She might die before the year was over. **** "Women like powerful men, Boss. They like to feel powerless when they are with a man." Hades had initially scoffed, but the idea had wormed its way into his mind. So when he saw her coming from the opposite direction, he decided to test this theory on her. Women liked to feel powerless? As soon as she saw him, her gaze sharpened, wondering why that madman was looking at her with a determined glint in his eyes. Should she run away? But he was already in front of her. "What are you—" He scoops Alice off the ground in one swift motion and drapes her over his shoulder like a sack of flour. All shocked eyes turned to the scene, but no one dared say a word, as they froze mid-air. "HADES!! YOU IMBECILE! PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!" She thrashes wildly, kicking her legs and flailing her arms. Hades, however, remains unfazed, carrying her out of the place with a triumphant smirk. He didn't believe in love theories, but he had a feeling she would be falling in love with him after this. At the other end, three of his underling watched the scene. "I think Lady Boss is enjoying it. She looks… happy." One noted. The other underling tried to stare intently at Alice's upside-down face. "I think so... I've never seen her look so bubbly around the boss." The third underling was watching, slack-jawed. He facepalmed dramatically. This wasn't what he meant when he told them women liked to feel powerless. Meanwhile, Alice... (Still screaming) *** EXCERPT II: "She is not answering your calls and told you to STOP calling her. Boss, I think your little bride might be mad at you." He snorted. "You are so clueless." "What's your insight, Boss?" "If she keeps rejecting my calls, it only means one thing..." They all leaned closer to hear his powerful insight. "She wants my physical presence," he said with a smug look. One of them wanted to say he didn't think so, but he was too scared to say anything. "Should I go. Should I not go?" He contemplated with a bored look on his face. "GRANT HER WISH, BOSS!" The other clueless henchmen echoed passionately. He smirked. "If you say so," and then he stood up. "Get the car." **** Pleasee add to your library. A bit of dark and fluffy romance. 18+ Comedic. Makes you sit in the edge as Alice tries her best to never get caught (quite futile) See you in the comment section!

It's simple. A vengeful wildfire of a woman. A tyrant who begs to be burned. When Aria crashes into Kael’s empire, hellbent on making him pay for taking her job away, she’s met not with defiance—but a dare. “You want revenge?” he taunts, voice dripping with dark invitation. “Then ruin me. Take your pound of flesh exactly where it hurts.” His proposition is a trap laced with sin: As expected he calls the shots in his bed, her contempt is his twisted aphrodisiac. “Hate me until your hands shake,” he growls. “But do it on top of me, where I can watch you savor every cut.” Their arrangement is a collision of dominance and delirium. Aria wields her fury like a blade, determined to break him. Kael? He thrives under her wrath, goading her darker, deeper, hungrier. But vengeance turns slippery when every insult she hisses ignites his obsession, and every cold glare melts into bruising kisses. Soon, the bed becomes a battleground—her nails carving victory into his skin, his whispers a serpent’s promise: “Chain me with your rage, darling. I’ll still come back for more." The rules are simple: No mercy. No surrender. But as their games spiral into something ravenous, who’s destroying whom? And when hatred burns this hot, what’s left when the ashes cool?

Pablo Castillo was the worst, the evilest, the biggest criminal in the whole world. He was the ominous figure known as Criminal X.

The International Court of Justice, in a bid to administer justice that matches the magnitude of his crimes, bestowed upon him the most excruciating execution ever conceived. The world erupted in celebration as news of his demise spread like wildfire. An international holiday was declared, a day of liberation from the tyranny of Pablo Castillo. The day was named with triumphant fervor. They all called it—World Independence Day. Pablo Castillo was a man so evil that even the kindest of Gods couldn’t find pity for him. But… Some Gods needed that man. That too, Desperately. ——— ——— ——— Support Me - ko-fi.com/khyaal Join My Discord For Reference Arts and much more - https://discord.gg/zmUcswM2N5

Kael was a nobody. At twenty, he cleaned the same high school halls he once roamed as a forgotten outcast—abandoned by his parents, ridiculed by classmates, invisible to everyone. His only refuge was gaming, where for a few hours, he could be someone. Then the van came. As it hurtled toward a little girl, Kael lunged to push her out of its path—just before a blinding light swallowed him whole. He wakes in a brutal world of elemental magic, savage monsters, and endless war—a place with no prophecy bearing his name, no leveling system, no one waiting for him. Summoned by mistake, yet fate has other plans. Now, Kael wields powers lost to time. He can freeze moments, bending time itself to his will. He commands fire, water, earth—forces that respond to his instinct and empathy, not force. Wolves, wyverns, creatures born from nightmares bow willingly to his side. Every dungeon conquered only tears open the next, deadlier challenge. When he saves the Dwarf King from an unending siege, he earns a relic blade whispered to rival the legendary Hero’s sword. But Kael doesn’t crave quests, crowns, or glory. He’s here to survive—and to carve out a destiny of his own. By his side: —a silent elf whose arrows never miss, —a demon girl who cheated death itself, —and a monster bound by sheer willpower, feared across the realm. Together, they uncover secrets buried deep beneath the world—ancient truths the old empires would kill to keep hidden. As ancient beasts awaken and war ignites like wildfire, Kael stands at the eye of a storm no one saw coming. When horrors rise and kingdoms fall, the world doesn’t need a savior. It needs Kael. He was never meant to be here. Now, everything depends on him.

Lin Han was once a humble game designer, responsible for crafting a sprawling online game centered around civilization development. The game’s core concept was simple yet ambitious: each player assumes the role of a god-like creator, starting with a lone planet to nurture and evolve civilizations from the ground up. One day, in a bizarre twist of fate, Lin Han finds himself mysteriously transported into the very world he designed—a living, breathing universe governed by the rules he once wrote. But instead of following the traditional path of slow, steady evolution like most players, Lin Han chooses an unorthodox and wild strategy: he decides to develop a monster civilization. While other players painstakingly cultivate primitive cells, Lin Han’s creation rapidly evolves through parasitism, devouring its own kind to trigger extreme mutations. It spreads like wildfire, infecting entire oceans and causing a mass mutation of marine life. As his monstrous creation gains intelligence and begins to understand civilization itself, Lin Han reaps massive rewards, earning tens of thousands of Authority Points — the currency of power in this universe. His creation doesn’t stop there; it ruthlessly conquers ten other players’ planets, accumulating even more power and establishing dominance over an entire star system. When reporters ask how he plans to manage the ten civilizations under his control, Lin Han delivers a chilling response: “I will turn them all into monster civilizations.” His declaration shocks the galaxy, heralding a new era where monstrous evolution threatens to upend the very foundations of civilization.

Three centuries ago, Lucien Vale made a mistake that cost him his soul. Once a charming, reckless vampire noble, Lucien broke the heart of a powerful woman who cursed him with an insatiable hunger — a punishment that left him condemned to wander the earth, feeding without satisfaction, desire burning through his veins like wildfire. His betrayal brought exile, shame, and centuries of emptiness. His only companion? His also-cursed best friend — the only one who stood by him when the vampire kingdoms cast him out. Together, they’ve survived in the shadows of the human world, hiding their identities, burying their power, and pretending to be something less than what they truly are. Lucien had made peace with his misery. That is… until Aria walked into his life. She is everything he shouldn't want. Everything he can't resist. A struggling bartender with dreams buried under reality, Aria never imagined one night, one alley, and one dangerously beautiful man would change her life forever. When Lucien saves her from an unseen threat—and then pins her to a wall with a kiss that shatters her—she's thrown into a world she never knew existed. A world of blood, power, desire... and monsters. But Lucien isn't like the others. He’s a predator, yes. But also a man tormented by his past, desperate for redemption, and inexplicably drawn to her blood, her voice, her light. Their connection is more than lust. It’s ancient. Fated. She ignites something inside him he thought long dead—a love fierce enough to break the curse. Yet love is never easy in the vampire world. Old enemies rise. Secrets unravel. And the curse? It's not done with him yet. As Aria falls deeper into Lucien’s dark, addictive embrace, she must decide if she’s strong enough to love a monster—and if that love is powerful enough to rewrite fate itself. > Sinful. Addictive. Devastatingly romantic. At His Mercy is a dark, erotic vampire romance about second chances, ancient curses, blood-bound passion, and the kind of love that consumes you… and saves you. He was cursed to hunger forever. Until he hungered for her.

After being publicly humiliated, abandoned by his best friend, and framed by someone he once trusted, seventeen-year-old Trevor’s world shatters beneath the weight of betrayal. The video that destroyed his reputation spreads like wildfire—engineered by Lena, the girl who once held his heart... and the sister of Darius Vire, a feared leader of O.G., the third most powerful underground syndicate in the city. Left with nothing but a bruised will to survive, Trevor receives a mysterious invitation from a man named Blair—calm, composed, and unnervingly well-informed. Blair introduces him to the Black Skulls, an elite, government-sanctioned counterforce that exists outside the law to dismantle the ten clandestine syndicates ruling the city's underbelly. Still uncertain, Trevor's decision is pushed over the edge when he learns the truth: Lena's betrayal wasn't personal—it was strategic. He was marked. Tested. And now he's being offered a choice. With no path left behind him, Trevor accepts. Under Blair’s cold mentorship, he’s trained to abandon emotion, trust only precision, and become a surgical weapon in the shadows. He earns a new name whispered in fear—Graven—a presence unseen but utterly lethal. But as the lines between vengeance and justice begin to blur, Trevor is forced to confront a haunting question: When your humanity is the first thing you sacrifice… what’s left to fight for?

Alia Sharma was always the best. The top student. The cheer captain. The girl who planned her victories like a chess game. She was ready to conquer senior year—until Monica Sharma, her picture-perfect cousin, walked into the same class, same stream, and same life she'd worked so hard to make hers. Monica is everything Alia isn't—calm, confident, effortlessly brilliant, and irritatingly popular. They've hated each other since childhood. Cousins by blood. Rivals by choice. And then came Steve Mehra—the new boy with a smirk that could disarm and a past he doesn’t talk about. One glance in the hallway, one shared class, and suddenly both girls are drawn to him—for very different reasons. In the hallways of Whitmore High, every look is loaded, every rumor spreads like wildfire, and every feeling is a tangled mess of truth, ego, and longing. While Monica and Alia battle for the top spot—and Steve’s heart—they’ll uncover secrets about each other, about themselves, and about how love doesn’t follow any rules. Because some hearts aren't meant to break. They're just meant to get tangled.

The drums of war thundered across the plains of the Wan Shui Empire. At the forefront stood a lone figure draped in silver armor, his crimson cloak dancing with the wind. His gaze, sharp as a dragon’s claw, swept across the battlefield. His name was Huan Bai — the War Demon, the youngest divine general in the empire’s history. At fifteen, he had silenced rebel cities. At twenty-two, he led men against beasts that tore mountains apart. At twenty-seven, he ascended to the rank of Divine General, one of only three in the entire empire. His name was etched in legends, sung by poets and feared by kings. But even war gods have hearts. In a rare moment of peace, the general crossed paths with Wu Hua, the flower of the Xiantian Sect. Graceful, serene, and unshaken even by his terrifying presence. Love, unexpected and fierce, bloomed like wildfire. They married in the spring, where cherry blossoms rained like snow. On his thirty-second birthday, the war demon smiled brighter than ever before. His son, Li Bai, was born under a sky filled with stars, as if the heavens themselves bowed in blessing. But fate, as always, was cruel. In the same year, during a border negotiation with the Tiansha Empire, General Huan Bai was betrayed and captured. His soldiers returned without him. His armor, broken. His spear, snapped. His fate — unknown. And as if destiny wasn’t yet done, Wu Hua vanished days later. No body, no trace. Only silence. The empire grieved its war god. But not all shared in the sorrow. Young Li Bai, now the son of a "fallen hero" and a "runaway woman," grew under the weight of whispers and cruel laughter. “A cursed child,” they called him. “The disgrace of a vanished bloodline.” But in the stillness of rejection, something stirred. On the eve of his seventh birthday, when the cold moon was high and dreams were thin, Li Bai sat alone in the courtyard of the orphaned manor. No one celebrated. No one remembered. And then — boom. A sudden pulse. The earth trembled. The stars above flickered strangely, as if acknowledging a forgotten truth. From within Li Bai’s core, a spiraling path of light and darkness emerged. It did not follow the known elements. It was not fire, not wind, not sword, not beast. It was something much more mysterious..... Unseen by all, the world had changed. The spirit child had awakened.

In the fabled realm of Torath—where dragons soar, magic lingers in the very air, and kingdoms teeter on the edge of chaos—Caleb begins a journey that will test the very core of his spirit. Once an unremarkable traveler, Caleb is drawn into a fellowship of unlikely heroes: warriors forged in fire, rogues as silent as shadows, mages bound to the pulse of mana itself. Together, they march into lands where legends slumber and nightmares wake. Each trial on the road shapes Caleb—every skirmish, every haunted ruin, every clash with a beast or blade hones his strength. Through treacherous forests, across mage-crafted cities of wonder, and into the heart of forgotten ruins, Caleb grows—not just in might, but in the fierce, untamed magic that burns within him. With fire as his ally and resolve as his fuel, he kindles power from within, forging himself in flame. And in time, he becomes more than a bearer of destiny—he becomes its wildfire, scorching a path through all that would stand in his way. *** This story is also on Royal Road. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/765939/fictions

Some fires start with a spark. Others are impossible to extinguish. Elena Cruz never imagined her quiet life running a small flower shop would collide with the world of ruthless boardrooms, high-stakes deals, and luxury she only saw in magazines. But when a twist of fate—and a spilled coffee—puts her face-to-face with Damien Blackwood, the notoriously cold and commanding CEO of Blackwood Enterprises, everything changes. Used to control, power, and silence, Damien isn’t prepared for Elena’s wit, warmth, or the chaos she brings into his life. She challenges him, sees through his walls, and lights a fire in his heart he thought had long burned out. Their worlds couldn’t be more different—but passion doesn’t care about social class or rules. As attraction grows into something deeper, the line between business and emotion blurs. But when secrets from Damien’s past threaten to burn everything to the ground, Elena must decide: is love worth risking everything?

In a world where demons, devils, and countless unknown horrors run rampant, humanity lives in constant fear. Even with the power of martial arts, keeping the demonic tide at bay is a waking nightmare. When night falls, only those protected by mighty experts can hope to survive. Yet, hope for the weak has not been extinguished. From the shadows, a mysterious organization emerged—the Demon Sweepers. Wherever demons appear, wherever devils wreak havoc, the angels of the Demon Sweepers descend. Swift. Silent. Unyielding. Led by an enigmatic figure whose power and presence defy understanding, the name Demon Sweepers spreads like wildfire across the realm—feared by evil, revered by all.

In a dying world strangled by frost, plague, and the whispers of monsters, survival is a currency—and Iris Liren is dangerously close to going broke. She’s spent her life scraping together enough food, coin, and sanity to protect her younger brother Flynn from the rot seeping into their crumbling town of Sundra. Between the ever-creeping infection known as the Rattle and the ravenous vampire lords across the border, death is always one wrong step away. The Wolves—cold, lethal warriors bonded to the mythical volanema beasts—are the kingdoms’s only real line of defense. Revered, feared, and kept distant from the civilians they serve, the Wolves don’t come when you scream. They come after, when it’s too late. And when Iris sees the wreckage left behind after another attack, she knows the truth: if you want someone saved, you do it yourself. But the town is bleeding, secrets are festering, and trust is a weapon no one dares to wield. When Flynn vanishes, desperate to join the Wolves and prove he can protect what’s left of their broken world, Iris finds herself pulled into the center of a conflict that’s far bigger—and far older—than she ever imagined. And at its heart is a commander whose eyes see everything and give away nothing. His presence is as commanding as his silence, and though Iris refuses to bow, she can’t help but feel the sharp pull of fate every time he’s near. Determined to drag her brother back from the jaws of death, Iris pursues him into the treacherous mountains. Instead of finding Flynn, she's forcibly conscripted into the brutal trials herself, thrust into the Culling – a bloody free-for-all where hundreds fight to survive, and only 60% will walk away. Forged in desperation, she forms uneasy alliances. But the trials aren't her only battle. Watching over the carnage with chilling detachment is Alpha Zion Kage – leader of the feared Kuzgun Pack. Beautiful as wildfire and sharp as a honed blade, Zion radiates lethal power and unsettling secrets. His obsidian eyes see too much, especially Iris's defiance and raw strength. An unwanted, dangerous attraction sparks between them – a hunter drawn to a wounded, furious sparrowhawk. Zion is the embodiment of the system Iris distrusts, the man who might hold the key to Flynn's fate, and the one who forces her to confront the terrifying darkness within herself. As rebellion brews, loyalties fracture, and something ancient begins to stir beneath the snow-choked earth, Iris must decide how far she’s willing to go to save her brother—and whether the line between monster and man is as clear as everyone wants to believe. Iris must survive a trial designed to shatter the weak. To understand Zion, she might have to forfeit her heart. And to win, she'll be forced to cross a line that stains the soul. The path to the wolves is paved in blood, and love might be the deadliest trap of all.

In an instant, our world disappeared. It began with people turning into zombies, and chaos followed. Civilization crumbled as humanity turned on itself—siblings betrayed each other, wives murdered husbands, men butchered themselves, and women sold their bodies for survival. Friends became enemies. Gangs rose as warlords, ruling the ruins with blood and fear. Cannibalism became the norm. The government went silent, fading into irrelevance as the dead multiplied and society collapsed. But that was only the beginning. The infection spread like wildfire, consuming cities and forcing desperate survivors into the wilderness—only to find that there was no escape. Nature itself turned hostile. The virus didn't just stop at humans—it twisted animals, plants, even the earth itself. Forests turned into living nightmares. Creatures grew massive, intelligent, and cruel. Skybound whales hunted the clouds, while apex predators ruled the ground. Amid this chaos, a force known as the Organizers emerged. They selected ten million individuals across eight continents and granted them access to mysterious systems—tools of strategy, construction, and war. With these systems, users could build fortresses, craft weapons, and rise as warlords. Survival came at a cost: burying zombie corpses in designated crypts earned points and staved off contamination, while defeating rival commanders meant seizing their systems. A brutal cycle of conquest began, as the dead rose and the living turned against one another. And among them… he awakened now chosen by the Apocalypse King System. [System Activated.] [Welcome, Master of the End.] [You have acquired: «Adaptation» and «Telekinesis».] [Your bloodline shall seed the new world.] He had the chance to save people—but he didn’t want to. He wasn’t a hero. He wasn’t a savior. He saw a world in ruins… and an opportunity. While others clung to hope, he embraced the chaos. In a land with no law, no gods, and no mercy, he chose to conquer. Survivors were no longer people—they were tools. All were his pawns or corpses. Celebrities, nobles, mutants—all bowed or bled. [Option One: City of Light – Build a sanctuary of hope.] [Option Two: City of Dark – Forge a kingdom of obedience] [Choice Confirmed: City of Darkness.]
