To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself.

[Content Warning: Dark themes, violence, psychological manipulation] ❝Being kind in a cruel world is like bringing a flower to a knife fight.❞ Eren Valen died on Earth believing in the good in people. Too bad his second chance at life didn't come with a warning label. 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.

(Book four of the Harm and Harmony series) It has been years since Henry was imprisoned in a hell dimension called The Eternal Abyss, which is infested with monsters and other prisoners that have lost control and will do anything to survive. What has kept Henry going, however, was his search for his second cousin, Corinna, who had also been imprisoned in the Eternal Abyss a couple of years before him. Now the search is almost over, as Henry has scoured the Eternal Abyss and discovered that Corinna had founded a city, The Warren, where prisoners from all over seek elusive citizenship. After so many years of travelling in search of her, Corinna isn't quite what Henry expected, nor is the way she governs the city. New masks, new friendships, returning characters, returning memories, lost memories, and lost relatives finally reunited. How much has changed in all these years? How much can The Eternal Abyss change someone?
