The Path of the Ascending Dragon

In a world where strength is measured by mastery of Qi and the understanding of martial arts, Wei Long, a humble young man from a remote village, sees his life change drastically when his home is attacked by malevolent forces. Armed with nothing but an ancient, enigmatic medallion and the guidance of a mysterious elder, Wei Long embarks on a journey that will take him from obscurity to legendary status. Joining the prestigious Sect of the Primordial Sky, Wei Long discovers he possesses the rare and powerful "Celestial Dragon Root," a gift that connects him to a grand destiny fraught with trials. Among loyal allies, stern mentors, and ruthless rivals, he faces brutal challenges to hone his skills, earn the respect of the martial sects, and uncover the secrets of the medallion. As dark forces threaten to dominate the continent, Wei Long emerges as a reluctant leader, forging alliances among rival sects and wielding legendary techniques such as the "Ascending Dragon Slash."

From epic battles against demonic cultivators to confrontations with deities in the Celestial Realm, Wei Long defies the limits of mortality, sacrificing everything to attain enlightenment and save the world. In his quest to become the first "Ascending Divine Dragon," he learns that true power lies not only in cultivation but also in wisdom, compassion, and strength of spirit. A tale of perseverance, honor, and destiny, The Path of the Ascending Dragon is an unforgettable saga of intense rivalries, unlikely alliances, and the rise of a hero destined to unite a fractured world.

The Dragon Prince's Bride

*Author's other work (She belongs to the Demon King)* *** They say opposite attracts, that's a lie. Opposites kill each other! When a hot blood meets another hot blood, things are bound to get burnt. That is exactly what happens when the pompous and prideful elven princess, Neriah of the Avelah Kingdom is forced to marry the brash dragon Prince, Barak of the Trago Kingdom. Neriah's goal is to someday break away from her marriage and run away with the love of her life, Lyle of the Niles. While Barak will do everything to keep her as a wife. Neriah is certain she's in love with another, but she's also certain that no one can ignite the kind of passion her husband brings. Her husband who she hates more than anything. Can the flames of passion be drawn from hate? Can that same passion burn down the walls of lies, betrayal, and hurt? Can its ashes transcend into love? Excerpt "I am a rose, a beautiful flower, delicate and precious! But you my dear sir are nothing but the thorny stem! Prickly, dangerous and very harmful!" ranted Neriah while poking his chest with her index finger. "Well you seem to forget one important detail, my love." He calmly grabbed her poking hand. "And what would that be, my fine sir?" "That the thorny stem and the rose grow together. The delicate rose and the prickly thorn, they belong together my dear." "You—" "And no amount of ranting and raging will change that. You think I want to keep a witch like you? You are a pain in the neck. If I am a thorn then you are a piece of fish bone stuck inside my neck. I cannot swallow and I can not spit it out! I just have to bear it!" "You insolent bastard! Do you mean to say I am a burden!" "Well you are no precious prize, are you?" And that was it, she threw herself at him with her claws ready to mar his face, but he was quicker and he caught both her hands with one of his own and pressed her heaving chest upon his. Golden eyes stared deep into hers. They were as green as the fresh leaves on an orange tree. His fingers caressed her face, “You might not be a precious prize, but by the heavens, you are mine.” And his lips fell on hers, and once again, another argument was drowned.
