House of Ash and Gold
Power wears many faces. Magic is just one of them. When a sickly noble heir stumbles upon a strange gift - the ability to see through the veil of power. He sets out to rebuild his crumbling house, not with sword or spell... but with silver, strategy, and secrets. But in a Kingdom where strength is currency and weakness gets buried, Cael Varissen must learn fast: wealth is fragile, war is inevitable, and magic? It's far older and hungrier than anyone cares to admit. What if the most dangerous magic wasn't in spells, but in shrewd business deals... and dangerous alliances of the heart? In a world where political ambition, economic strategy, and forbidden desires hold as much sway as any ancient power, every alliance comes with a price. This is the heart of House of Ash and Gold. ... What to expect: Slow-burn political fantasy with teeth Layered worldbuilding A subtle, mysterious magic system Romance threaded through ambition What NOT to Expect: Instant overpowered MC Fast-food pacing Harem or shallow romance One-note villains Endless exposition dumps
The Chronicles of Mithrala
A ruler who conquered his world through fear. A man who believed redemption was a lie. A dreamer who watched his own kingdom turn to ashes.

But when he returns from exile, he finds the empire he built slowly destroying itself, piece by piece. The land that once bowed before him now bleeds from the very fear he planted. As old wars awaken and ghosts from the past rise again, he must face the truth he buried: that power does not protect - it consumes. 🔥 A dark fantasy about ambition, guilt, and the curse of victory. 🔥 For fans of epic tragedies, moral conflict, and fallen kings.Complete
Paragon - Book I
*COMPLETE* There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. Still, she's not the only one who has problems: bigger tides of change and danger are shifting across the world she has been assigned to protect. The Jarles, a kingdom in the east, has begun moving across its borders, and there are strange murmurings about what they have done, and where all the children they abducted have gone. Faced with responsibilities she never wanted, and a life she thought she could never have, Allayria must decide how she will help--and if she will be the Paragon at all. _____________________ WIP Cover art and written work by Azi.

Heir of the Forgotten Krish has no name, no past - only questions. When a mysterious artifact sends him spiraling into the past, he uncovers a world of secrets, danger, and a family legacy long buried.

Others are waiting to be found. They were born centuries apart-yet their destinies were sealed together before their first breath. Krish never believed in prophecies. Shree never asked to be part of one. But when a crumbling painting reveals their faces in a forgotten past, the truth begins to burn brighter than fate itself. Whispers of a lost kingdom stir again. Shadows rise from places long buried. And deep beneath the surface, ancient flames awaken to reveal the one true heir. Now, Krish and Shree must navigate reincarnated lives, hidden memories, and a bond forged in sacrifice. But is their connection written in destiny-or shaped by choice? A tale of fire, fate, and forgotten love. Top ranks :- #1 my own character ( 27 July , 2025 ) #1 my own character ( 11 November 2025 ) # 1 my own work ( 11 November 2025 )
The Exiled King | ✔
The world plunged into an era of peace, built upon the backs of the last heroes, who protected their realm and then vanished into legend, taking their powers with them. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? As demons once again begin to crawl from the fiery realm of the Abyss, it becomes clear that they are not acting on their own - someone cunning is leading them. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined - where it seems that things may have been set in motion long before anyone could ever have anticipated and the path forward may just be the one that ends in death.

The Last Oath: The Decline and Fall
What happens when narration becomes magic and monsters become stories? When meaning crumbles beneath the whispers of tales, and certainties drown in the din of words, truth wears a thousand faces at the windows of night. Survive. When the untold fades, and the unseen is lost. Endure. As kingdoms fall and life ebbs away, as souls awaken only to cage themselves within the lines of pages. Fight. For what remains is a silent longing to wake again, upon the shores of a dream unborn. ------------------------------------------------------------ A multi-character fantasy tale set in a world that has forgotten how to define itself, where eras chase one another in confusion. Knights confront the unknown, detectives battle dragons, and vampires raise dogs. The stars are wrathful, the kingdoms have fallen, and magic stands stripped bare. ---------------------------------------------------------------- For those who do not like indirect suggestion: A cruel, innovative magic system A dark fantasy that blends classic fantasy, horror, and the supernatural. Long story and slow build (although you can judge it in the second chapter) Multiple characters and a big world Exploiting (inspiration from) myths, epics and legends in worldbuilding Legends from all over the world: Europe, Africa, America, Middle East, Australia, Asia, Ireland etc. Mystery, investigation, and the need to analyze, focus, and use your knowledge and abilities to reach conclusions and form your opinion before the characters do (you are part of the investigation, not just the characters) Warning: "Contains graphic violence" "Not suitable for children"
