The Frozen Capital

- Bab 12
Anubis-born Atsushi Matsumi-is a young man from the outskirts who dreams of a better life for himself and his struggling family. His goal was to join the guild, a prestigious path for warriors and adventurers, but due to systemic inequality and corruption, that door is closed to him. Instead, he becomes a mercenary-and later an assassin-carving his own path outside the laws and limitations of the kingdom.
Through his freelance missions, Anubis uncovers the grim reality behind the capital's glittering walls. He learns how the ruling class exploits the people, how prices are manipulated to keep the poor desperate, and how the middle class has all but vanished. While other nations flourish, his homeland is rotting from the inside.
As tensions rise and cracks form in the kingdom's foundation, Anubis realizes that his journey is no longer about survival or success-it's about justice, change, and exposing the rot festering in the heart of his nation.
---
What is his true purpose?
To dismantle the corrupted system that destroyed his country from within-and build something stronger in its place?
He starts off just wanting a better life, but through pain, struggle, and revelations, he evolves into something more:
A symbol of rebellion for the oppressed.
A hidden dagger poised against the neck of tyranny.
A protector of those who cannot protect themselves.
And eventually, a leader, whether he wants to be or not.

The Dagger of Eden
In the heart of the crime-ridden Ancien City, Anjali Isa has mastered the art of stealth and murder. A deadly daggerman with the infamous Assassin Guild, she is one of the six killers serving the highest bidder in a city where secrets are currency, and betrayal is the norm. But when a new contract arrives-an assassination on the prince of Fastus, the richest and most powerful of the six magical Sila kingdoms-everything changes. The Sila kingdoms, thriving with their magic and wealth, have long turned their backs on the human lands, which are ravaged by poverty, war, and disaster. The Sila people possess unparalleled abilities and have closed their borders, leaving humans to suffer. Anjali's mission is simple: kill the prince and destabilize the kingdom. Anjali is forced to go undercover within the walls of the Fastus kingdom. But the prince, Kal, is no fool. He quickly discovers who she is, and instead of ordering her death, he turns their cat-and-mouse game into a twisted battle of wills, a contest where each must outwit and outlast the other-whoever survives wins, but neither is ready for what's about to unfold. As Anjali navigates the glittering yet deadly world of court politics, she finds herself entangled in a web of lies, manipulation, and murder. Fastus is unraveling from the inside out, and its once-glorious Tree of Vita, a sacred symbol of the kingdom's prosperity, begins to wither and die. Kal is desperate to uncover why the tree is dying and what dark force is eating away at his kingdom's lifeblood. With every passing day, secrets come to light, and enemies close in. Anjali is torn between her loyalty to the Assassin Guild and her growing understanding of the Sila. Between a kingdom on the brink of collapse and a prince who seems to know her better than anyone else, Anjali must decide where her true allegiance lies-and if she can find a way to stop the destruction she was hired to unleash.Lengkap![[COMPLETE] Transmigrated Author: The Quiet Plum](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/208505086-256-k685551.jpg)

Light (old version)

He is alright with living his life with this cold facade, having fully prepared himself for dying alone and friendless. He doesn't want to do anything about his boring life, for he believes himself far too lazy to achieve anything substantial. Unfortunately, all that changes when he is forced into a marriage with a lord's daughter, and his long lost brother suddenly resurfaces. As deeply buried emotions start to tug at his heart, how long can he keep up his 'facade'?

The Goddess of Light to An Average Girl (Female Harem x Female Reader)
You as a female in your previous life in the era before the very modern age were a goddess of light at an early time of the year, determined to stand strong and be acknowledged by everyone. During that time of war against the demons, you encountered a demon lord, revealing to be your older brother, who was missing in action. Truth be told, you have been betrayed and got killed by your soldiers, sent by the authorities of the kingdom itself that you trusted them from the beginning when you got beaten, bullied by the noble riches and other high-rankers. It was revealed that you and your family were pawns in their game for their own desire that everyone would admire their word of lies. While your brother and his gang try to avenge you by destroying the kingdom, you live with nothing but grief and regret in the world of heaven. The man suddenly appeared, who has known to be nothing but a doctor. He pitied your sadness and tragedy you had been experiencing that you have done things that are just being used for fraud and abuse. So, he offered you a second chance by being reincarnated to the modern world as your atonement and redemption. You have been thinking about your brother and everything you've done, but nothing will change and you cannot escape your pain until you accept a second chance. As you agreed, you start a new life anew, reincarnating as an average girl in a modern world, with her memories that she dreamed about being special. With that in mind, how can you face your goal and path with her identity on you? Will you try to atone your sins for your life? Or try to follow her goals?

But one drunken night, she meets her terrible end. Just like that, Talia loses all she worked hard for, or so she thought.

And in that plot, the character of Lady Victoria is meant to die like cannon fodder for the female lead! Talia refuses to die again. And this time, she is going to extend her helping hand to another side character, the second prince of the story, Prince Cory.

In an era of deceit and conspiracies, will she be able to keep her head as she walks the thorny path of a villain? With her head on the line, will she be able to control her blooming feelings for the pawn that she has chosen?Lengkap
The First Perspective
A man who conquered everything-power, wealth, strength-yet found himself at the peak of nothingness. Bored of a world he had already mastered, he took a final leap... only to open his eyes again. Reborn as Aren Wolfhart in a world of mana, nobles, and bloodline legacies, he is no lost soul seeking redemption-he is a ruler in the making. With his past-life intellect and an unshakable will, he will carve his own path to dominance. In a world where strength dictates fate, Aren will either rise as an unstoppable force or bring ruin to all who stand in his way. Power is everything. And this time, he refuses to be bound by fate. I'm Eren-or at least, I used to be. Now, I'm Aren. Death came for me in a way too strange to explain, yet here I stand again. Why? To find purpose in a world that's ruthless, where survival demands more than strength-it demands the mind of a predator. Every step I take is precise, every move cloaked in shadows, because power isn't given, it's taken. I don't care about what others think. Their judgments are noise-weakness dressed as opinion. I am cunning, ruthless, and unyielding. I blend into the background like a ghost, watching, calculating. Emotions? I buried them long ago. Logic and resolve are my weapons. I'm here to ascend, and nothing-no one-will stand in my way. If you dare block my path, you won't find me-I'll leave only a ghost behind, a smudge in your memory that warns you of what came and disappeared without a trace. There's no room for mercy in this climb, only cold ambition and unbreakable will.
The Duke Fell for the Villainess
She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game. Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end: starvation, betrayal, poison, and death. Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?
