Executed as a traitor. Condemned to the flames. Forgotten by the kingdom he once swore to protect.
Sir Leonhardt Vaelmont-once one of the legendary Seven, the kingdom's most revered knights-was betrayed and sentenced to death after attempting to kill the king. Branded a traitor, his name was erased from history, his honor burned to ashes. But death was not the end.
Resurrected by an unknown force, he returns to a world that has already moved on as Ash. The kingdom teeters on the edge of chaos, corruption festers within the royal court, and the church's grip tightens as it weaves its unseen schemes. Rumors of his return spread like wildfire-some fear him as a vengeful ghost, others as a demon sent from the depths. But Ash seeks neither redemption nor peace. He seeks the truth.
When a noble's caravan is slaughtered and a lone survivor, a boy named Elias, is left carrying a gruesome message, Ash is thrust into a deadly game of secrets and shadows. The deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes-his execution was only the beginning. Someone is pulling the strings behind his resurrection, and the church has plans for the child he lost long ago.
With his black sword in hand and vengeance in his heart, Ash walks the fine line between man and monster, legend and myth. The kingdom that once worshipped him will learn to fear him. And those who buried him in the past will soon wish they had made sure he stayed dead.
But there's one question that haunts him more than any other.
Why does he keep coming back?

Everyone has heard of the story. After the Knights betrayed the system, were executed for their crimes, and were forgotten to time, evil began to rise one more, even in the absence of the Divilamu. So the highest sorcerers and elites opened a permanent bridge to another world, known as the great Summoning, and brought with it, champions from an unknown dimension, blessed with incredible powers. They took the task of defending the land from the darkness, and creatures that tainted the light, and issued a new era of peace. More powerful than any other race, they quickly became the ruling class. Now they rule behind any government, hunting and destroying threats. With a wide range of abilities, they saw no resistance. They were called Aldaraians. Jack is a simple farmer, living in the comfy town of Rorin. Like 90% of the population, he is a normal human. He does not mind, as he had a loving wife and daughter. A daughter who dreams of joining the ranks of Aldaraians. Then Jack comes home and finds his family dead. He devolves into despair, and then, clear thought, and rage. People he trusted neglected their duty to protect. Jack makes a twisted journey of revenge, making a few acquaintances along the way, he will take them down, by whatever means necessary. He knows deep down he will not survive, but he just wants to give them a scar, so they never forget him. How would you feel? If you were nothing? If gods from another dimension roamed, and did whatever they pleased. The old gods are nowhere to be found? The only gods are the ones that you see everyday? And most importantly, where is the line drawn, between Good and evil? Join Jack on this dark take on the implications of isekai. Will he get his revenge, or will he die, and life will stay the same as he rots in his grave?Complete
Ashes Of The Past
Ashes of the Past - Story Description In a city drowning in corruption, two sisters rise from the shadows, bound by blood and vengeance. Ezra Valtore is a warrior forged in pain. The elder twin, she has turned herself into a ruthless hunter, eliminating those responsible for her family's destruction. Her fists speak where words fail, and her blade delivers the justice the law never could. Serra Valtore is the ghost in the machine. A hacking genius, she operates from the darkness, feeding Ezra everything she needs-security codes, enemy locations, and clean escape routes. She does not fight with fists, but with data, weaving digital chaos to ensure their enemies fall. Years ago, the Valtore twins had everything-a loving home, a bright future. Until one night changed everything. Their parents, innocent of any crime except standing in the mafia's way, were executed in cold blood. The sisters, barely teenagers, were left broken, forced to watch as the world moved on without justice. But grief did not break them. It rebuilt them. Now, they live for one purpose-to hunt down the mafia responsible and erase them, one by one. Ezra delivers death with precision, while Serra ensures their tracks remain invisible. Each kill brings them closer to the ultimate target-the elusive mafia lord who orchestrated their parents' murder. But the road to vengeance is never simple. Their actions have not gone unnoticed, and someone is watching them closely. Xavvar Blaze, a sharp-witted detective, has begun piecing together the pattern behind the string of mafia deaths. He is determined to uncover the force behind the killings, unaware that the truth will entangle him in a web of deception, fury, and an unexpected connection to the woman he is hunting. The game has begun. The hunt is on. And for Ezra and Serra Valtore, there is no turning back.
Yeah, I Rejected You
Then it hit me. The scent of my mate. The one I'd love and spend the rest of my days with. "Mine," he growled. I was forced up against the wall as he began to kiss me roughly.

I shoved him off me and made him look me in the eye, "I don't care if you're going to be Alpha. You will always be the jerk I hate and the player I despise. I will not be looked upon as another of your minions. Yeah, I just rejected you." I snarled. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Shayla Hale is just another 15 year old werewolf, eagerly waiting for her 16th birthday so she can find her mate.

"What's wrong little wolf? No more energy?" He smirked. Then Liam was suddenly thrown to the damp ground by something, a jet black wolf with glowing red eyes. He was beautiful with his gleaming coat and strong legs. The black wolf left Liam on the ground and fiercely killed all of Liam's minions easily.
