They call him the Black Brand. Scars ladder his face like a pyrographer's script and his hands shake near open flame-but never in a fight. Once a Dreythali knight in blackened drake-scale, Kharric Vharros was exiled after he defied an edict to make "banners burn brighter than superstition." Now he wanders the marrow-roads: part sellsword, part penitent, carrying four small vertebrae etched with the names of the dead.
In a world that embalms itself in victory, Kharric refuses pageantry for the ugly math of mercy. He moves braziers with his boot, douses lanterns before he draws steel, and ends fights in three beats: unbalance → disable → decide. Against torch-companies, ash-priests, drake-riders and parade knights, he stands where fire should be-and refuses to let it start.
Low magic. Wet roads. Bad kings. A fox that keeps her distance. An inn code that says sand before song. If you must hire him, bring no torches. If you must fight him, pray for rain.

Rogue Resurrection
In a world where death means starting over, betrayal is worse than dying. When Kurokai logged into Eidolon Realms, a hyper-realistic VR world, he dreamed of honor, adventure, and maybe just maybe love. Instead, he was betrayed by the girl he trusted most, branded a monster and a criminal. His gear stolen, his name smeared, Kurokai is forced to survive alone in a party-based game designed to break the solitary. But Kurokai doesn't break. He laughs. He grins through stitched scars and hidden runes, wielding secrets and forbidden skills no sane player would touch. In the shadows of ruined dungeons and player-killer territories, he plots a twisted path to redemption or revenge. When he frees Nyssara, a slave girl with secrets of her own, the two outcasts forge a bond that might save them both - or drag them deeper into a game where betrayal is currency and trust is fatal. In Eidolon Realms, there are no heroes. Only survivors. And Kurokai will make sure his enemies never forget it.Lengkap
A Ruby in the Rough
"I am Sir Lancelot Du Lac, a knight of Camelot." Lancelot calls into the emptiness. "I wish to speak with the king of dragons, if he is willing." Lancelot's voice echoes through the chamber, like a whispered wind inside of a long abandoned castle. "King Arthur?" Lancelot attempts again, his voice far smaller than before. "I heard your first request, Sir Lancelot." A voice booms throughout the cavern. Lancelot stills and a tremor moves through his body. "I am merely considering whether it is worth my time to consider whether you are being truthful or merely attempting to steal something from me." --------------------------------------------------------- There are dark works and darker magic at play in Camelot. A tyrant king rules with an iron and bloody fist, striking down any who oppose his cruelty. Sir Lancelot has never been one to stand down when faced with corruption and he will stand for it no longer. His mother, Lady Nimue, would tell stories of the king of dragons, King Arthur, and how his past was spent protecting the kingdom of Camelot before his disappearance. Perhaps a desperate knight with a deal can pull him back into a world that needs him. Maybe they kiss a little too.
Oath in the Smoke
"I will obey you. Serve you. Heal for you. Die for you-if that's what you want. I'll be loyal only to you until the day you decide I'm no longer useful." The firelight danced across his physique as his face stayed still. "I could make you do all those things as we speak." His voice was laced with threat. "You could," Silvia said clutching her hands to fists, "but not ever without a fight." ------------------------- When Silvia's village is burned, the survivors are dragged to the war camp of Lord Varric-a ruthless warlord whose name is spoken like a curse. She appears broken and obedient, but her eyes are sharp, her mind unyielding. His men are forbidden to touch the enslaved women of her village-not out of mercy, but because they are coin to be sold. Desperate to protect her people, Silvia breaks free one night, only to be struck down before Varric's eyes. She survives through the power of her healing-and learns quickly that his men's crimes don't seem to sway him. With nothing left to offer in return for her villages protection, Silvia pledges herself-her body, her gift, her loyalty-to the man who destroyed everything she loved. An oath of loyalty, fear and unshakable resolve. Lord Varric accepts, not out of compassion, but calculation, keeping her close as a weapon, a healer, and a mind to sharp to waste. Yet even under his cold command, Silvia refuses to break. And behind her quiet defiance, Varric finds himself torn-driven to crush it, yet unable to look away from it. A dark fantasy romance of war, loyalty, and the perilous line between ruin and desire. #1 lord ~ 29.07.25 #1 forbiddenlove ~ 23.08.25 #7 hatelove ~ 03.09.25 #1 powers ~ 04.09.25 #1 enslavement ~ 28.09.25 #1 enemiestolovers ~09.10.25 #2 medieval ~ 03.11.25 #1 enemies ~ 20.11.25 #1 middleages ~ 17.04.2026Lengkap
Kael Draven Eternal Ember
In a world of shadowed streets and ruined empires, one name is whispered like a curse-and a promise. Kael Draven. Once a predator in the forgotten alleys of a crumbling city, Kael's hunger for survival awakened something ancient within him: the Eternal Ember, a fire of both life and ruin. Neither mortal nor immortal, neither savior nor destroyer, he is bound to a destiny that defies the Thrones, the Ancients, and even the Primordial that carved the world from ash. But power breeds enemies. The Hollow Court plots in silence, factions of hybrids sharpen their claws, and the spectral forms of Ancients loom above the storm-wracked skies. As Kael ascends from the shadows to stand as the Apex, he must decide: will he wield his flame to rebuild the world-or burn it into eternal night? Epic, gothic, and unflinching, Kael Draven: Eternal Ember is a tale of loyalty and betrayal, of monstrous beauty and terrible power. Step into a realm where fire bleeds into shadow, where the line between savior and destroyer is as thin as a blade, and where one man's ascent could unmake the heavens themselves.Lengkap
Fear
Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped. I was held against my will. Tortured. Starved. Broken apart, piece by piece. All in the name of "curing" me. He didn't just steal my freedom. He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic. He's given me this journal and I'm going to write my story. This is my truth. My confession. My war cry. Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT!

A Will Beyond The World
In Vespera, power is decided at birth-by noble bloodlines, divine favour, and the strength of one's magic. Ronan has none of it. An orphan with a single fire affinity and a shallow mana pool, he's the last person anyone expects to matter in the hallowed halls of Serenwyn Magic Academy. But Ronan carries something far more dangerous than talent: an unyielding will, a body honed into a weapon, and a rage he has sworn never to unleash. That vow is tested when a "harmless" perception skill turns out to be cursed-showing him visions of a forgotten war between gods and mortals. At the same time, an ancient, sinister flame merges with his soul, granting him terrifying power at the cost of his sanity. As nightmares bleed into reality, Ronan is drawn into a hunt for the truth-through corrupted lands, lost histories, and enemies who would see his mind broken. To protect his found family, Samantha and Kairos, he will have to wield the very fury he fears, risking the one thing he cannot replace: his humanity. The gods measure worth by birthright. Ronan will prove them wrong. Because some strength comes not from magic, but from a will strong enough to defy the world itself.
White Lies
"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine. "I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive. Stolen as a child and discarded as a mistake, she was given a second chance when the Cordovas adopted her into a life of wealth, secrets, and silent wars. But when her parents are declared dead and the world turns against her found family, she realizes survival is no longer enough, she needs to fight. Raised as assassins, her adoptive brothers have spent years keeping her in the dark, but now? Now, she's in the center of the storm. Wanted by the government. Hunted by the man who created her. And trapped in a dangerous game of love, loyalty, and lies with the only people who have ever mattered. Because in their world, trust is a weapon. Not all love stories are gentle. Some are jagged at the edges, built on shadows and sins, tangled in pasts too dark to escape. White Lies is one of those stories. It's about the things we do to survive, the lies we tell to protect, and the love that thrives even in the darkest corners. Read at your own risk.Lengkap
Wounded Heart ✔
She loved him with devotion so fierce it scorched every heartbeat, every glance. He was her obsession, her reason to breathe, and her undoing. But while her world revolved around him, he remained distant-a presence, never hers. "How do you let go of someone who is the air in your lungs and the ache in your heart?" "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Memories burned bright and untouchable-hers alone. She clung to each haunted fragment, every echo of forbidden love. Until fate, honouring a promise to Aashi, forced her into the arms of the man whose heart was a graveyard. "I married you to fulfil her last wish. You will never belong here." His words cut deep-cold, calculated, meant to wound. Cruelty hid his storm. Her silence was her weapon, her pain a fortress. "You think you know pain?" she spat, her eyes blazing. "I live it every day." He turned away, fists clenched. "You don't belong. This will never be your home." Yet, in their grief and fury, sparks flew, igniting something dangerous. "Love and hate are two sides of the same burning coin." When apologies come too late, and regret drowns truth, love risks turning to ash. She walks away, her heart in ruins. He falls, shattered-vowing to bleed, to burn, to reignite the fire in her eyes. "Some hearts are forged in fire. Some burn to ashes." Even if it destroys him. 📅 Start Date: 28th October 2019 ⏳ End Date: 23rd October 2020 ✏️ Edited Date: 2026Lengkap
Ashes of the accursed
This story begins in the shadow of the Dominion, a vast, oppressive empire that has ruled the land for generations through fear, conquest, and the iron grip of its armies. Their citadels stand across the heartlands, their banners darkening the skies, and their soldiers march endlessly into villages that dare resist. Beyond the Dominion's borders lie the Cursed Lands, broken regions scarred by ancient wars of the Fallen Gods. Only Few people survive long in these wastelands, but whispers persist that they hold secrets the Dominion fears. It is here that Dorian's journey begins. A man scarred by loss and carrying the black flame within his veins, he wanders from the Dominion's broken outposts into the forgotten wilds. The black flame is no ordinary gift-it binds and burns, a curse as much as it is a weapon. His body bears tattoos that shift and spread with each growth of essence, marking him as different. Dorian does not yet understand why he has been chosen. He only knows that he is being hunted for it. This is the story of vengeance, where both sides has to burn. Either they will burn each other or they will burn this world to ashes. If you like what i do. Please support me. Link in bio.
