In a time when kingdoms rose and fell under the weight of ambition and betrayal, War Among Kingdoms weaves the intertwined fates of rulers navigating political intrigue, familial conflict, and the chaos of war. Set in a richly imagined world inspired by the golden age of West Africa, the story begins with the Kingdom of Benin under the reign of King Akenzua, who seeks to restore peace to a fractured realm scarred by his father’s conquests. The tale shifts to Prince Nehikhare, a boy raised on tales of vengeance by his grandfather, King Akhigbe. Consumed by the desire to reclaim Benin’s dominance, Nehikhare secretly amasses followers and wages brutal raids against neighboring kingdoms, ultimately defying his father’s peaceful reign. When his rebellion is discovered, Akenzua banishes him, but Nehikhare’s survival and transformation into King Nehizena soon threaten the fragile stability of the region. At the heart of the story is Queen Nosaze, Akenzua’s daughter, who ascends the throne after her father’s death. Determined to protect her people and uphold her family’s legacy, Nosaze emerges as a formidable leader, forging alliances to defend the western kingdoms from a masked invader. Her journey becomes intertwined with King Sonni of Gao, an estranged ally harboring his own grudges, as they unite against a shared threat. As Nosaze and Sonni confront mounting challenges, rumors surface linking the masked invader to Nehikhare, shaking Nosaze’s resolve. The story crescendos in battles of epic proportions, including a brutal duel between Sonni and the ruthless King Piye, and the eventual confrontation with Nehikhare’s empire. Themes of loyalty, ambition, and the cost of vengeance drive the characters as they fight for survival and redemption in a world teetering on the edge of collapse.

Rael, a young man with a dark past and forbidden blood, is thrust into the eye of the storm when a mysterious power within him awakens—a force that merges human genes with those of the Arkanis, interdimensional entities long considered eternal enemies. After a sudden attack by the radical Lumen Faction, which seeks ancient power, Rael learns that his father, Kael Veygar, was a legendary technomagus who sealed the Aetheris Gate—a portal to the heart of all dimensions—within himself. The seal wasn’t meant to protect Rael, but to save the world from destruction. Hunted as both key and weapon, Rael must face: Lyra, a Lumen Faction agent corrupted by illegal technology, burdened by vengeance and regret. Dax, a genius technomancer obsessed with knowledge, trapped in a game of power. Jyn, a bounty hunter android with a dark past, selling loyalty for freedom. Nexus, an ancient dimension where his mother—the Arkanis queen—is trapped, and where the secret of Kael’s death lies. From the black markets of the Lower District to a Cursed Island surrounded by magnetic seas, Rael risks his life to uncover the truth: that he is a symbol of sacrifice, forced to choose between opening the Aetheris Gate to save his mother or destroying it and losing his humanity. But the Lumen Faction won’t stop there. Armed with dimension-shattering weapons and hybrid soldiers, they force Rael to become a pawn in a war that will decide the fate of all beings—humans, Arkanis, and those in between.

Here, true heroes aren’t unblemished—they’re the ones brave enough to stand at the edge of the abyss, between light and shadow.

What is Life? And Why People who arent living loves to haunt living people. and why the haunted living people after dying loves to haunt other living people. Why is this cycle circling?

It was supposed to be a new beginning—fresh faces, towering mountains, and the promise of untamed horizons. But the world doesn’t always play fair. The snow-covered peaks held secrets, ancient whispers that pulled at the edges of reality. A frosted gaze, a frozen heart. A fleeting warmth that lingered, only to unravel. The air was heavy, the nights restless. I was unlucky. A quiet campus turned labyrinthine. Paths twisted into trails where footsteps vanished, and in the silence, shadows became more than just absence. Questions followed like echoes: What am I? What do I belong to? And why does the sky feel too close and too far all at once? A frostbite that never healed. A cliff's edge that wouldn’t let go. A hand reached out—divine or cruel? Each step forward pulled deeper into the unknown, where gods didn’t walk, but fragments of them did, fractured and wary, watching. The world isn’t broken; it’s just no longer whole. Beyond the mountains, among the clouds, lies a story unwritten, where reality bends and belief becomes the weight that anchors existence. But the question is simple: Can you bear the cold?
