The Secret History A

Humanity is broken. Their cities are dust, their warriors long fallen. The monstrous Beasts and their godlike Beastkin masters rule with an iron grip, and hope is little more than a forgotten whisper. But legends are not born from comfort. They are forged in blood, in fire, in the will of those who refuse to kneel. Rowan was nothing—a nameless child in the slums, another soul crushed beneath the weight of a dying world. But from the depths of despair, he rose. Not for glory. Not for vengeance. But to tear down the chains that held mankind in servitude. And when the dust settles, the world will remember one truth. Rowan the Mighty does not bow.

She’s a brilliant venture capital executive, driven, intelligent, and fiercely committed to achieving financial freedom through her own efforts. He’s a handsome, highly educated, and capable man, but with one fatal flaw—he’s always looking for shortcuts, including marrying into wealth. When she finds out she’s become his "target," she feels powerless to resist, torn between her rational mind and her emotions. But one extravagant gala turns her world upside down. He appears as the heir to a prestigious family, exuding an aura of cold authority and unshakable composure that commands attention. Standing amidst the crowd, she’s frozen in shock, silently mocking herself for mistaking this man—so deeply rooted in privilege—for a pretty boy chasing her financial support. Overwhelmed with shame, she quickly makes her exit, only to find him leaning casually against a Lamborghini outside. A teasing smile plays on his lips as his eyes lock onto hers. “Running away already, darling?” he asks, his tone light but provocative. In this city where power and wealth intertwine, their story begins—a clash of pride and sincerity, and perhaps, a love reborn from misunderstanding.

When Violet Rowe accepts a tutoring position at the grand yet isolated Halloway estate, she expects a quiet job teaching the youngest siblings, Clara and Theodore. Instead, she steps into a house haunted by the shadows of its past—whispers of a family tragedy, cold gazes from the remaining heirs, and a lingering sense that something is terribly wrong. Two years ago, Lysandra Halloway was found dead in her bedroom—murdered, the family claims, by an intruding burglar. Shortly after, Eleanor Halloway, the children's mother, wasted away from grief. Yet as Violet settles into the mansion, she notices something unsettling: no one speaks of the deceased with love. There is no mourning, only an eerie absence of sorrow. Theodore, ever the devoted brother, is protective of Clara—too protective. Clara, fragile and anxious, seems burdened by a secret too heavy to bear. Felix and Everett, the older brothers, are aloof, always watching but never saying too much. Ophelia, sharp-tongued and temperamental, treats the past as a nuisance best forgotten. And Augustus Halloway, the formidable head of the family, warns Violet to keep her curiosities in check. But as Violet begins to notice strange behaviors, unspoken tensions, and gaps in the family's carefully told history, she realizes the Halloways are hiding something. The deeper she digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because in this house, the past never stays buried. And someone is watching.

The last bit of the flames lingered over her hand before dying out as well, then her hands were cold again. My eyes followed her arms to her face. She knelt on the bed with my stretched legs between hers. She still wore the same clothes she had on when she appeared in my hospital room.  Her large, dark eyes were on me, but I couldn't tell what emotion or expression they held. She sat then and pulled my fist to her face. "You didn't respond when I called you earlier. What's going on?" I asked her calmly, but inwardly doubted she'd answer me. She inhaled deeply with my fist still to her nose like she wanted to absorb its fragrance if it had any. She just kept her eyes focused on my hand. "You were about to do it again. The backlash could've been bad. ," she pointed out flatly. Even though she didn't sound too pleased, her wonderful voice was still pleasing to the ear. "You told me we'd do it, not you." "I have to get stronger, Lily." She now looked at me. "But what about the pain? We agreed that I would help you."

Aryan has always been different. For as long as he can remember, he’s noticed small changes in the world around him—shifts in reality that no one else seems to see. A tree that suddenly has a different shape. A street sign that changes overnight. A building that vanishes, replaced by something else entirely. He’s learned to keep these observations to himself, convinced that no one would believe him. But when he wakes up one morning to find that religion has been erased from history, replaced by a tyrannical regime known as the Order of the Eternal Flame, he realizes that the changes are far more dangerous than he ever imagined. The world he knew is gone. The temple he visited as a child has vanished, as if it never existed. His parents and friends don’t remember praying or worshipping. The Order’s doctrine—a rigid set of rules designed to suppress free will—now governs every aspect of society. Women are stripped of their rights, dissent is punished with execution, and war ravages the globe. Aryan is the only one who remembers the truth: someone has gone back in time and rewritten history. Guided by a mysterious voice from another dimension—the Observers—Aryan discovers that he is the only person immune to the changes in the timeline. His memories of the original world remain intact, making him the key to uncovering the truth. But the Order is watching. Their enforcers hunt down anyone who questions their doctrine, and Aryan’s unique ability makes him a target. As Aryan delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers the chilling truth: the Order of the Eternal Flame was created by a time traveler who arrived thousands of years ago, using advanced technology to pose as a god and manipulate humanity into submission. The time traveler’s ultimate goal? To create a “perfect” world—one where free will is eradicated, and obedience is absolute. With the help of a small resistance group called the Echoes, Aryan sets out to find the time traveler’s device and reverse the changes to the timeline. But the path ahead is fraught with danger. The Order’s enforcers are relentless, and the time traveler himself is always one step ahead. As Aryan struggles to piece together the fragments of the fractured timeline, he must confront the moral dilemmas of rewriting history: What is the cost of restoring the world he knew? And is he willing to pay it?

After living as a famous Korean vlogger-slash-mukbanger, Neoma died a (shameful) death and regressed to her tragic first life--- the life where she has to live as a hidden princess with a tyrannical father and a yandere twin brother. She died at the hands of her psycho brother in her first life. But luckily, she charmed her "big brother" this time. Her father remains a sc*mbag, though.

Now Neoma finds herself in the middle of the succession war she never wanted to be involved in! *** [EXCERPT 1] “Neoma de Moonasterio, the first princess of Moonasterion Empire. From now on, you’ll live as Prince Nero’s proxy.” [The hell is this psycho saying?] Neoma, despite her confusion, still smiled at her father--- the emperor. “Father, what do you mean by that?” “From now on, assassins sent by my enemies would target Nero,” the emperor explained. “Until he’s strong enough to protect himself, you’ll pose as your twin brother.” Her smile froze, but she still acted innocent. “But Father. If I take my brother’s position, then wouldn’t the assassins mistake me for him and…” She stopped talking when she realized that was exactly what the emperor wanted her to do. [This sc*mbag wants me to be bait?!] “You’re no longer a princess, Neoma de Moonasterio. From now on, you’ll live as Prince Nero de Moonasterio,” Emperor Nikolai said coldly while looking down at her with glowing red eyes. “Try to survive until your twin brother comes back to take his rightful place, understood?” Neoma was too shocked to react. [Are you f*cking kidding me, you sc*mbag?!] *** [ORIGINAL BOOK COVER. Artwork by sola_cola.] *** [EXCERPT 2] “I’m so sick of your tyrannical a*s,” Neoma yelled at her father aka the emperor. “I won’t forgive you for hurting Lewis and Tteokbokki!” “What will you do about it then?” Nikolai asked with a smirk. “Kill me?” “Yes! I’ll f*cking kill you, sc*mbag!” “Language,” he warned her, upset that his five-year-old daughter curses like a sailor. “Using vulgar words is unbecoming of the future Crown Prince.” “I’m a princess!” Upon yelling those words, the royal princess’s eye color changed from ash-gray to red. [This is getting serious.] “Stop it, Nero,” Nikolai told her sternly. “If you keep that up, the royal knights will come and–” “I’m not Nero!” Neoma screeched angrily. Then she jumped in the air with her left fist, ready to punch him. “In the name of the moon, I’ll punish you!” [What…?] And Princess Neoma, pretending as the Crown Prince for her sick twin brother, punched Emperor Nikolai, her father, in the face.
