The heir to the throne struggles to stay alive and keep his birthright while a tracker is thrust into a brutal hunt for a girl who can save or destroy the kingdom of Daracka.

˖⁺‧₊˚ ✧ ˚₊‧⁺˖

A frail kingdom. A dangerous weapon. A lost soldier with the power to tip the balance.

Out of his obsession for learning, Kazuri, a Maestro of knowledge, recreates a destructive machine used in the last catastrophic war in the kingdom of Daracka. This weapon's only fuel is an explosive energy inside the body of an experimental soldier. Kazuri must have it, and so the hunt for the soldier begins.

Jiro, a boy with the ability to fly, is a Maharlika from Aradack who only wants to live ordinarily, staying on their island for the rest of his life. But when a tragedy strikes his family, his home becomes a constant torment of memories. He joins the hunt to escape his pain and sets out to find the soldier who would change his fate.

Reiji is the Matu, next in line for the throne of Daracka. He quenches his ambition to rule, but when he learns that someone he trusts betrayed him, he lets the fire inside him burn. He plays his own game of secrecy, risking the peace of the kingdom.

The Master ✧ The Flyer ✧ The Heir

Heirs And Hunters by crazypoodle

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

Our Monarch. by cutegir2002

Story by cutegir2002 >>> Kim Taehyung, a normal omega, staying with royals even tho he doesn't have royal blood flowing in his veins yet he is a royal. A person who had gone through something traumatic that made him slip into head space. On the other side Jeon twins who have been taught to always be strict and close to all the people around except their family. The motive for them to be closed off and strict was just to make sure the two true blood alpha's aren't trapped by some gold digger or fake friends. But as they grew up it turned out to be their habit that made them cold and less talkative. A story of how two true blood alpha's will fall for a sensitive yet strong common omega? A story of pure love and devotion that will bring nothing but happiness and bliss to the three lives? But is it all, will they be together and falling for each other would be easy? The story isn't as simple as it looks, there's a big secret hidden that can change their life in a snap. The story contains. Top Jungkook Top jeongguk Bottom Taehyung Alph/beta/ omega story line. Threesome. Whipped tops. Strong yet sensitive bottom Little space. Smuts. Fluff, lots and lots of fluff. Angst. Humour, drama, family emotions. Magic. Mpreg and male lactation. Femboy concept (bottoms will have pu**y and b**bs) Cross dressing. Indian songs. Modern Royalty theme. Etc... ⚠️⚠️ Attempt of r*pe. Angst. Seperation but for a small amount of time. The story won't have... Cheating. Betrayal between gguktaekook. Fuck boy or play boy top Main ship Gguktaekook Side ships Lisa×Hoseok Yoongi×Jimin Namjoon ×Jin THE STORY IS BASED ON MY IMAGINATION THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN THE STORIES CHARACTER WITH THE REAL LIFE PEOPLE. THE STORY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAL WORLD, A PERSON WHO UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING OF FICTION SHOULD ONLY READ THIS STORY.

In the vast, war-torn world of shinobi, Kazumi Kumo stands apart-a prodigy of her clan with unshakable confidence and a sharp wit to match. Her high self-esteem has always been her armour, keeping her detached and invulnerable to the chaos around her. But as Kazumi finds herself forming unexpected bonds with those she once kept at a distance, cracks begin to appear in her flawless façade. As she uncovers the harrowing truth about her clan's history and her uncle's buried grief, Kazumi is thrust into a web of turmoil that shatters everything she believed about herself and her lineage. Torn between loyalty and justice, strength and vulnerability, Kazumi must face a dark twist of fate that threatens not just her pride, but the fragile bonds she has fought to create. Will the young genius rise above the shadows of her mother's mistakes, or will the weight of her clan's sins pull her toward a decision that will change her fate forever-forever branding her with the name "Suki," a cruel reminder of her destiny? ༺═──────────────═༻ (𝘐 𝘋𝘖 𝘕𝘖𝘛 𝘖𝘞𝘕 𝘕𝘈𝘙𝘜𝘛𝘖.

The Fall of Vequera by storiesbyandy_

A disinherited princess and a kingdom on the verge of ruin. The birth of twins were once a joyous occasion in Vequera but in the year 602 C.E, it was anything but. A first-born daughter with a golden eye and a second-born son. The realm feared what the daughter would be capable of. None knew of her power or what she would do in the future if she became queen, so the throne was given to the second son in hopes he would save their house from possible ruin. Over the course of her life, she was neglected by her mother for being different like the "demons of the west." She began to harden as the years passed her by and the abuse she endured intensified until one day, she snapped, killing someone. The queen sends her away in order to keep the nobles at bay but little did she know that her decision to do so would cause the fall of everything she held dear. The fall of Vequera.

Reborn into Ezura, a realm where magic flows like water and power corrupts like poison, Eren's pure heart makes him the perfect target. As an apprentice mage with stars in his eyes and trust in his soul, he dreams of becoming the hero in a world that has no use for them. But Ezura doesn't reward the pure-it devours them. When his faith in humanity is shattered by a betrayal that leaves him bleeding out in a ditch, something inside him breaks. Or maybe, something awakens. Gone is the boy who wanted to save everyone. In his place rises someone who understands the truth: if the world wants a villain, he'll give them a masterpiece. Armed with magic, fueled by spite, and backed by a brilliant mind he'd forgotten he had, Eren begins his metamorphosis. Those who took advantage of his kindness? They're about to learn why you shouldn't leave your victims breathing. But every time he stares into the abyss of his own making, echoes of his former self whisper from the depths. And in quiet moments, when the mask slips, one question burns: Is he becoming stronger, or is he just better at breaking? ✧ A tale of twisted redemption ✧ Morally grey protagonist ✧ Psychological warfare ✧ Complex magic system ✧ Strategic manipulation ✧ Found family (but toxic) [Updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday] #MagicFantasy #DarkFantasy #Reincarnation #Revenge #MagicAcademy #PsychologicalThriller #Antihero Start the journey.

Maharlikan Empire Rises

In a university, 12 Filipino students embark on a project that ends in tragedy. Reincarnated in a treacherous world plagued by racism and danger, they must unite to survive. Blessed with unique skills and immortality, they face royalty, powerful foes, and ancient secrets. Can they overcome the odds and forge a new reality, the Maharlika Republic/Empire? Inspired by Filipino culture, this epic fantasy explores unity, strength, and the unyielding spirit of 12 students reborn. This is fictional. I dont have anything to do with the history and culture of the Philippines represented by my own imagination (even though I'm Filipino).
