The Emperor of Ash and Ivory

The Emperor of Ash and Ivory

Čandy_Demon
In a world where magic governs bloodlines and empires are forged through war, Princess Ruria of Edelweiss has lived a life untouched by suffering. Her kingdom knows peace, her people know kindness, and her heart has never learned fear—until the day her homeland is marked for annihilation. The threat comes in the form of Vaelor Noctyrr, the infamous Emperor of the West. Once a forgotten prince, Vaelor became the sole survivor of a kingdom erased from history. From its ashes, he rose as an emperor with no people, no mercy, and no equal—waging wars so devastating that even demons allied with humanity to stop him. Feared as a calamity greater than the Demon Lord, Vaelor is both divine in beauty and monstrous in legend. To save his kingdom from destruction, Ruria’s father offers her as tribute—sold as the Emperor’s bride in exchange for peace. Torn from her sheltered life, Ruria is delivered into the hands of the man the world calls a monster. Yet when she finally meets Vaelor, she finds not a raging tyrant, but a silent, hollow emperor burdened by loss and wrath beyond comprehension. As Ruria enters the heart of Vaelor’s dark empire, fear slowly gives way to understanding, and hatred begins to fracture under the weight of unspoken pain. Bound by a bargain forged in despair, the princess and the emperor are drawn into a dangerous dance of power, obsession, and forbidden tenderness. But the world will not forgive the Emperor of Ash—and neither will the forces that fear what he might become if he learns how to love again. The Emperor of Ash and Ivory is a dark fantasy romance about sacrifice and sovereignty, about a girl offered as salvation and a man who has forgotten what it means to be human—and the fragile, devastating love that may either redeem them both… or burn the world to cinders.

Building a Werewolf Empire from Scratch

Lin Yue transmigrated into the body of Colin, a wolf-like human with impure bloodline who was constantly bullied on the continent of Tranro. He opened his eyes to a hellish start: his tribe destroyed and him trapped in a desperate situation. On the verge of death, the "Killing System" suddenly awakened—blood for blood, war to sustain war! Starting by hiding in ruins and hunting down lone soldiers, Colin, with his modern intelligence and ruthless systems, regrouped his remaining forces in the Blackwood Forest and built his first fortress. Hunting knives were pointed at former enemies, wolf riders crushed the Earl's coalition, and technology and magic fused together to create a chilling new power. Once his tribe was destroyed, now he is the Wolf King of the North. Wherever his banner points, orcish hordes bow to the alliance, and human city-states tremble. On the imperial throne, Colin surveys this continent reshaped by blood and fire. This is a path of rise and fall, from survivor to emperor, a path of struggle for power, dominance, and civilization.

I Became a Demon Lord With Only Three Succubi

After her death, Lilith awakens in a world where fourteen billion players struggle for survival, power, and the right to continue existing. Over Ten million of them have become Demon Lords, each building their own race, their own territory, and their own army. Demonic Dragon Knights command vast legions, Vampires rise to build empires, and Lords of Catastrophe leave nothing but ruin in their wake. Yet Lilith enters this world as the Primordial Succubus Monarch - and quickly realizes she cannot walk the same path as the others. Instead of endless armies, she is given only three succubi, each unique in their own way, and the system permanently seals her ability to summon more. In a world where power is measured in numbers, such a gift feels more like a death sentence than a blessing. If she wants to conquer this world, she will have to take armies from other Demon Lords, grow stronger despite her limitations, and prove that a demon of desire is not meant only to seduce - but to fight. And above them all stand the Heroes… beings created for one purpose alone. To hunt and kill Demon Lords like her. And Lilith would soon realize… that neither Heroes nor Demon Lords were the true predators of this world. *** You can support me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/TorqQ

[MCU x HP] Reborn as Hermione: Spamming the Killing Curse!

Waking up in a new body is disorienting. Waking up as Hermione Granger—the brightest witch of her age—is a surprise. But realizing you aren't in Hogwarts, but standing in the middle of Tony Stark's New York? Complete panic. Fortunately, "Hermione" isn't empty-handed. Bound to a mysterious Grimoire that allows her to jump between the Wizarding World and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she realizes one absolute truth: playing the good girl is for losers. Why bother with complex science and superhero morals when the Unforgivable Curses exist? Avada Kedavra solves 99% of her problems. For the remaining 1%, there's Imperio. Tony Stark: "J.A.R.V.I.S., it's time to design the Anti-Wizard Armor." Hermione: (smirks) "You mean the scrap metal that breaks the second you put it on?" Hulk: "HULK SMASH!" Hermione: (raises wand) "Shut it, green guy, or I'll cast Expelliarmus on your pants!" The Ancient One: "You are an anomaly. A sorcerer who does not belong on this timeline..." Hermione: "Let me correct you, baldy. I am a Wizard." Nick Fury: (eye twitching) "Where exactly are you from?" Hermione: (adjusts robes innocently) "Me? I'm just a simple exchange student from Hogwarts." Armed with unparalleled acting skills, a ruthless inner demon, and a wand that flashes green way too often, the MCU is about to learn why you never mess with a Dark Witch in sheep's clothing. [Features] World Hopping: Seamlessly travel between HP & MCU! Two-Faced MC: Innocent schoolgirl on the outside, ruthless Dark Lord on the inside. Magic vs. Tech: Watch science try (and fail) to explain Unforgivable Curses. Elite Banter: Sarcastic, unapologetic, and totally overpowered.

The Heavens' Traveler : Starting from the Dungeon

One look to learn. Two looks to master. Ren Isana was summoned to a world where spiritual energy has returned, monsters roam the streets, and spatial rifts lead to dangerous alternate dimensions. But he wasn’t summoned by a god or a king—he was summoned by his own parallel self: a depressed orphan who sacrificed his existence just to bring Ren into this “giant cesspool” of a world. However, the sacrifice wasn’t in vain. Ren awakened the Eyes of Insight, a legendary talent from another world. Whether it is the bone-shattering martial arts of a street-corner elder, the high-tier elemental spells of elite professors, or even the unique bloodline talents of his peers—Ren sees it all. Yukino Yukinoshita’s perfect physical control? Copied. Asuna Yuuki’s lightning-fast rapier speed? Mastered. Aria Valentia (Ais Wallenstein)’s divine wind magic? Replicated and improved. When a spatial rift opens to the legendary city of Orario, Ren doesn’t go to explore—he goes to dominate. Behind him stands a class of the world’s most famous “geniuses.” Ahead of him stand the gods themselves. As the newly appointed Captain of the Hestia Familia, Ren Isana is about to show the inhabitants of the Dungeon what happens when a mortal possesses the eyes of a god. “You call that a secret technique? Sorry—I learned it five seconds ago… and I think I do it better.”
