From the moment he could walk, Liam knew he wasn't wanted. Growing up in a neglected orphanage, he watched every other child get chosen while he was left behind. At eighteen, he aged out with nothing but a small apartment, odd jobs, and a stubborn will to survive. When a sudden act of courage ends in tragedy, Liam awakens in a world where strength is measured in levels and monsters roam the land. Gifted with a mysterious System only he can see, the boy no one ever chose is given a second chance - to carve his own path, build his own power, and decide his own worth. In a land where destiny favors the strong, Liam will prove that even the unchosen can rise to be the world's strongest.

He had everything he could ever want; luxuries, fine meals, power, respect... He needed nothing more than himself in the realm to fill his empty heart. Alexander, a prideful, arrogant, and powerful King is cursed to live in the hideous form of a monstrous beast after showing his heartless ways at a masquerade ball. Desperately, King Xander uses all of his own sources of magic to try and break the hell-bound curse, all while staying defiant in following the Enchantress' prophesy of love. After years of living hidden in the castle walls, time and hope began running out for the King and all his servants, who were cursed alongside him. If the King never tried following the love prophecy, could it perhaps be his last chance at redemption? 𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒... it was almost laughable. How could a heartless King ever love? And most importantly, how could someone ever love a beast? *I only write when it's cold* ❄️⛈️ #1 in Innerconflict! - 7/5/2025 #6 in lgbtlove 🥹
