The Hollow Fang's Crown
Betrayed by his own blood, a young Lupian barely survives an assassination attempt. As he waits for death's scythe, an enigmatic and eccentric old man finds him. Fenrik begins to learn of essence, the unseen force flowing through all life, and the first fragile steps toward wielding it. Yet survival is only the beginning. The curse of his bloodline lurks in the shadows of his soul, binding him with chains he cannot see. His body aches from relentless training, his heart from loss, but his will refuses to break. As the seasons change, Fenrik learns to dodge blades of wind, meditate beneath crushing weights, and even face the beasts of the wilderness. Each challenge leaves him stronger-and hungrier for the strength he'll need when the time for vengeance comes. But monsters are not the only things that stalk the wilds of Ashkarra. Whispers of old wars and dark groups stirring in secret hint that Fenrik's story is tied to far greater dangers than he can yet imagine. A boy's struggle for survival is about to become the first step toward a destiny he never asked for.

Lumien
A group of young people with different races and cultures, altogether united for one important mission. They are the only key to save their precious world Lumien from the upcoming chaos that will befall them. What are the truths that unfolds within? Will they be able to succeed in their mission? *** "Lumien is a special place that holds deep in our hearts. And no one can ever take our home from us no matter what. We may be different from each other, we may have water and oil relationships with each other for centuries, we may argue, fight, do unforgiving things but it still didn't change the fact that we all love Lumien. We will fight for our rights and nothing can stop us, no one can steal and control Lumien, not even you, Darkxyney, the Demon-God." Darkxyney laughed and mocked them for his stupid remark. "Bring it on! Even if you have the other weak legendary dragons, hah! Even if you locate that good-for-nothing White Dragon Empress, I will still win and rule over Lumien and then the whole universe! I'll finally be able to replace my darn mother for being the Universe Goddess!" she laughed evilly as if she had won. Everyone looked uneasy as they felt Darkxyney was stronger than before. But the chosen one and his comrades were the ones who stood firm and didn't shiver. "Everyone! Protect Lumien!" Language: TAGLISH Genre: Fantasy/Adventure ALL RIGHTS RESERVED @2022
