In the shadow of Robert's Rebellion, a boy was born of both wolf and stag Torrhen Baratheon, firstborn son of Robert Baratheon and Lyanna Stark. Towering in strength like his father, yet cold eyed and calculating like his mother's kin, Torrhen grows into a warrior unmatched and a mind sharpened by maesters.
Despised by his stepmother, hated by his younger brother Joffrey, and loved only by few, Torrhen stands alone in King's Landing heir to a fractured kingdom. Wielding Robert's warhammer and a Stark's will of iron, he must navigate a court of vipers, survive the schemes of Cersei Lannister, and claim the crown meant for him.
But as whispers of prophecy echo through the realm, some say this prince is more than just his father's heir. Some call him the King That Was Promised.

House of the Dragon: Aegon's Infinite Class Tree
When a game developer from modern-day Earth wakes in the body of Prince Aegon Targaryen, the long-forgotten third son of Baelon the Brave, he expects nothing more than a swift, bloody end in the shadows of his more famous brothers, Viserys and Daemon. But fate has other plans. Aegon remembers everything: dragons, fire, politics... and the unfinished class tree system he'd been coding at the time of his death. Somehow, it lives within him now, reborn in his soul. Each decision grants him access to traits and abilities no Targaryen has ever wielded; [Pyromancer], [Demon Knight], and secrets yet to be unlocked. As the Seven Kingdoms groan under the weight of scheming lords, rising dragons, and prophetic whispers of doom, Aegon walks a knife's edge, one foot in prophecy, the other in rebellion against fate itself. With a mind sharpened by two lifetimes and power drawn from beyond the known world, he'll either forge a new destiny for House Targaryen... or burn it all down. *** Rankings: 🥇#1 in hotd [06/4/26] 🥇#1 in asoiaf [30/3/26] 🥇#1 in litrpg [30/3/26] 🥇#1 in gameofthrones [31/3/26] 🥇#1 in asongoficeandfire [31/3/26]
The Mad King's Redemption (Being Rewritten)
Born during the War of the Ninepenny Kings on the 22nd day of the 9th moon in 260 AC, Prince Aerion Targaryen is the second son of King Aerys II and Queen Rhaella Targaryen. From the moment of his birth, Aerion was overshadowed by his elder brother, Prince Rhaegar-the presumed heir to the Iron Throne. Dismissed by many as the "spare," Aerion's life seemed destined to be one of quiet insignificance. Yet, even as a young boy, Aerion defied expectations. By the age of four, he was recognized as a prodigy-his natural talent and intellect eclipsing Rhaegar in almost every way. This unanticipated brilliance sowed jealousy in his brother and resentment in his mother, Rhaella, both of whom despised him for merely existing. In 265 AC, Aerion's fortunes began to change. The court could no longer ignore his potential, and the boy who had been overlooked found himself thrust into the center of attention. But as Aerion's star rose, so too did the weight of expectation and intrigue surrounding him. How will Aerion's extraordinary gifts shape his future? Will his rise bring redemption to House Targaryen, or will his family's inner turmoil and the Seven Kingdoms' simmering unrest threaten to destroy them all? Discover the life of Prince Aerion Targaryen as he navigates ambition, betrayal, love, and the shadow of his father's madness in The Mad King's Redemption.
