But that formula failed him during the final stretch of his senior year when a local gang targeted him, putting everything he had and was building towards at risk. Trapped and desperate, Ace felt his life spiraling out of control—until Ria Hart, a fellow classmate, discovering Ace's innate aptitude to become a Curse Master, a being capable of wielding curse energy and abilities but haunted by Curselings, took pity and introduced him to the secret world hidden beneath the mundane surface of their world, the World of Curses.

Tri Realm: Reborn in Iron

Akio Tanaka, a 12-year-old boy from Japan, leads an ordinary life until an unexpected world war devastates his home. When a bomb from Russia destroys his family right before his eyes, his life is shattered. A Russian agent, witnessing Akio’s loss, takes him under his wing, driven by pity for the innocent victims of war. Akio, filled with grief and rage, swears revenge against the world’s power holders who perpetuate these wars. He trains under the Russian military, growing into a ruthless and feared agent, carrying out covert missions until he succeeds in killing every world leader in a devastating strike. But just as he completes his mission, a tragic turn of fate strikes—his helicopter is shot down, killing him. In his next life, Akio is reincarnated in a world filled with magic and constant warfare. He retains the memories of his past life, including his goal of eliminating those in power. This new world has its own battles—demon lords, factions, and endless conflict—but Akio is focused on what he sees as the root cause of his suffering: the powerful individuals who continue to incite wars. As Akio matures into a young man, he works the land of his adopted family, learning the ways of this new world. However, fate is unkind once again as his village is invaded, and his parents are killed. Filled with sorrow and confusion, Akio questions whether he is cursed. He forms a bond with a new friend at the orphanage who saves him from despair, encouraging him to keep fighting for his own future. At age 7, Akio begins magical training, as children in this world gain magical powers at this age. After witnessing the brutal military training of young soldiers, he and his new friend join a dangerous project meant to train elite soldiers—children who endure extreme, life-threatening tests. Only a handful survive, and Akio is among the survivors, gaining even more control over his abilities. His friendship with those who endured the training together grows into a bond of fierce loyalty, and they become feared generals in the military. However, as the world around him becomes more fractured, and as the influence of the Demon Lord grows, Akio must confront a new challenge: how to navigate his power, the pressure from his allies to dominate the world, and the endless battles that stand in his way. When Akio finally faces the Demon Lord, he kills him easily, but before dying, the Demon Lord reveals a shocking truth: Akio’s destiny is tied to a greater force. Using a mysterious orb, the Demon Lord triggers a powerful event, sending Akio to yet another world. In his new life, Akio is reincarnated as the son of the Demon Lord, destined to inherit the throne. He witnesses his parents’ deaths at the hands of a hero, and he becomes the new Demon Lord, inheriting his parents’ power. But his reign is fraught with challenges, both external and internal. Akio is a reluctant ruler, unwilling to attack humanity, but pressure from his generals and the threat of human invasions push him toward war. Akio struggles to balance his desire for peace with the brutal reality of war, and his identity as the "Demon Lord of Tyranny" takes root. As Akio battles both external enemies and the pressure from within, he faces the ultimate question: Can he break free from the cycle of violence that has defined his existence, or will he fall into the same patterns of power and destruction that have plagued him across worlds?

Fragments of Eternity

For centuries, humanity has fought a losing war against the alien Xa’tarii. Every attempt to unite has ended in failure, every plan foiled by betrayal, greed, or fear. Talon Graves is one man trapped in an endless cycle, reliving the fight over and over in a desperate attempt to find the path that will save humanity. This is his story, from the first life where he was just a kid. To the hundredth and beyond, trapped in an endless cycle. Each step, each decision, brings him closer to breaking the cycle or losing himself entirely. Perhaps even both. Will Talon’s hope be enough to defy fate, or will humanity fall to its own flaws once more? -- Hello everyone! If you’ve made it this far into the summary, and I still haven’t convinced you to click on that first chapter, let me share a little more about what you can expect from this book. This story offers a unique power system, one inspired by cultivation but with my own twist to make it truly distinct. It’s a universe where intergalactic warfare takes center stage, featuring everything from the awe-inspiring World Enders who can destroy planets with a thought, to the smallest soldiers fighting tooth and nail for survival. Every individual matters, and every battle leaves its mark. In this universe, it’s all about scale. Even a world-ending Super is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. When wars span entire galaxies and civilizations vie for dominance across universal borders, the impact of a single Super, no matter how powerful, is often a morale boost or the elimination of key high-profile targets, including enemy World Enders themselves. Victory here isn’t determined by raw strength alone but by strategy, sacrifice, and the countless individuals who shape the tide of war. So, if you’re looking for a story that combines relentless action, intricate power systems, and the weight of interstellar stakes, then this might just be the book for you. I hope you’ll give it a chance, click that first chapter, and let’s dive in together. P.S. I’ll be writing this for the long haul, so if you’re expecting a gritty, determined, and powerful individual right from the start, this isn’t that kind of story. Instead, you’ll follow a journey of growth, struggle, and transformation as Talon learns to navigate a brutal universe and carve his place in it. Enjoy!

Phantom Warfare

In the aftermath of Shadows Protocol, the world remains a perilous landscape of covert missions, political intrigues, and underground conflicts. As tensions between nations escalate, Pakistan’s elite intelligence team, led by the seasoned agent Zayan Malik, faces their greatest challenge yet—a rescue mission fraught with deception, betrayal, and unexpected alliances. It all begins with the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Zayan during a crucial mission in Lebanon. Tasked with intercepting and dismantling joint Israeli and Indian covert operations, the mission ends in catastrophe. A massive explosion rocks the target area, and Zayan is presumed dead, caught in the blast. His team—comprising Ubaid, Irfan, Kashif, and Captain Rizwan—finds themselves reeling from the loss of their leader, grappling with grief, doubt, and a profound sense of betrayal. The mission, which had seemed straightforward, now hangs over them as an unsolved mystery. Ten days pass in an agonizing blur of mourning and frustration until Aaliya, the team’s brilliant intelligence specialist, intercepts a cryptic communication hinting that Zayan might still be alive, held captive in Israel. The faint hope reignites the team’s determination, and Major Hamza, their chief, authorizes a new mission. The stakes are higher than ever as they covertly enter Israel, operating under intense scrutiny and evading a network of traps. However, the trail leads them to nothing—a carefully orchestrated ruse to lure them into enemy territory. Humiliated and disheartened, the team returns home, their trust in the intelligence community shaken, but Aaliya remains unconvinced that this is the end of their search. Months pass with no solid leads until a fragment of intelligence surfaces, pointing towards an oil refinery in the depths of Iraq. The team, though battered by the earlier failure, seizes this opportunity. They gather their equipment, resolve bolstered by the possibility that Zayan might be closer than ever. Major Hamza authorizes the mission, knowing the risks but also understanding that this could be their last chance to save their comrade. The journey to Iraq is fraught with peril, the team navigating hostile terrain, avoiding enemy patrols, and using every trick in their book to remain undetected. Every step they take is a step closer to a potential ambush, but they move with purpose, each of them understanding that this is a mission they cannot afford to fail. The refinery stands in a barren desert, surrounded by armed guards, patrolled by drones, and fortified with defenses. The team moves under the cover of night, taking up positions around the target. Ubaid, Irfan, and Kashif, with the patience of seasoned operatives, wait for the perfect moment to strike. Aaliya monitors the situation from afar, guiding them through the labyrinthine pathways and providing vital surveillance. As dawn approaches, the atmosphere is electric with tension, every sound amplified in the quiet desert night. Suddenly, the operation erupts into a firefight, bullets ricocheting off metal structures and grenades detonating amidst the chaos. The refinery becomes a battlefield, the echoes of gunfire blending with the sounds of the desert. The team pushes forward, cutting through the defenses and leaving a trail of destruction behind them. They know the cost of hesitation—failure means losing Zayan forever, and they are prepared to make any sacrifice necessary. Deep within the refinery’s underground levels, they locate a fortified chamber. The sight inside shocks them—Zayan, their leader, chained and barely conscious, his body bruised and battered from days of captivity. Hope mingles with fury as they realize the true extent of his ordeal. Ubaid, his voice cracking, sends a desperate message back to Major Hamza: "الحمداللہ sir, Zayan is alive and he's with us, but he's badly injured. Mission accomplished."
