In the quaint town of Eldora, Simon Schimbley seeks a simple life- but his life is anything but ordinary. Born with his name meant to be etched into the ominous "Book of Evil," he carries a burdensome legacy and a fearsome power: the ability to transform into a dragon. A curse inherited from his mother, "Gilda the Benevolent." Once hailed as "Gilda the Good," she tragically transformed into a dragon, inadvertently decimating the town of Meunstera and its 400 inhabitants.
Haunted by his mother's dark past and determined to forge a new path, Simon embarks on a perilous journey to control his curse. His quest for redemption leads him to incur a staggering debt of over $10,000, acquiring arcane and costly Dragonian equipment in a desperate bid to prevent history from repeating itself.
Simon's valiant struggle to avert disaster earns him a place in history, his noble act sparing Eldora from a fate similar to Meunstera's. Yet, his battle is far from over. Simon must confront the legal system, challenging the stigma of the "Book of Evil" to clear both his and his late mother's names. In a society quick to judge, Simon's fight is not just against his inner demons but also against the prejudices of those around him.
"Simon the Simple" is a tale of courage, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of self-determination. It's a narrative that weaves the threads of free will, moral integrity, and the human spirit's capacity to transcend a tainted legacy. As Simon strives to redefine his identity and his mother's memory, he teaches us that one's destiny is not written in stone but can be rewritten with bravery, compassion, and the unwavering will to change.

Yet, beneath the surface of this mundane existence lies a hidden world, one that Selene never could have imagined.

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
