🌙
Seventeen-year-old Luan Dervishi has always known one truth: if the world doesn't kill you, the people in it will. Abandoned, hunted, and betrayed by the only family he ever had, Luan didn't fall off that cliff, he jumped. Death was the plan.
But fate doesn't care about plans.
Instead of silence and oblivion, Luan awakens in a world that shouldn't know his name, yet somehow, it does. Dragged through a portal by something ancient and watching, he lands in a realm where cities breathe secrets, maps rewrite themselves, and power answers to him like an echo long buried. A power that isn't his, yet fits him too well. A power the rulers, outcasts, and monsters of this world would do anything to claim.
He didn't ask for a second chance. He didn't want one.
Now, bound to a magic that pulses with memory and intent, Luan is being pulled deeper into a story written long before his birth, one that wants him to play hero, saviour, maybe even king.
But Luan isn't here to be anyone's symbol.
As cities fall and truths rot from the inside out, Luan walks a road twisted by loyalty, vengeance, and a past even he can't fully recall. Because in this world of gods, ghosts, and fractured fate, not everything that bleeds is alive...
...and not everything that lives deserves to.

"Is this the part where I'm supposed to kneel?"
"You were never meant to kneel."
"Good. Because I didn't come to worship your gods. I came to bury them."

Book [1-???]
×Mature×
> She died a jobless anime binge-watcher. She woke up a chubby, unwanted beast bride.
Odette didn't ask for a second life-especially not in the body of a despised gray swan with five drop-dead-gorgeous beastmen husbands who can't even look her in the eye. Forgotten by her tribe, accused of crimes she didn't commit, and left to drown by the very men who vowed to protect her... it should've ended there.
But fate-no, a shady cosmic system-had other plans.
Armed with a cheat-like storage space, a secondhand body, and five cold marks on her hand proving none of her husbands ever claimed her, Odette decides it's time to rewrite this beastly romance into her own personal revenge story.
Who needs loyalty when she can hoard hotter husbands? Who needs love when she can live deliciously petty?
Let the ex-husbands regret. Let the new suitors line up. And let the Swan Queen rise-feathers, fat rolls, and all.
