Hidden Empire

Saekrin
A tragic high-fantasy story about memory, identity, fate, and corruption where power is not earned through effort, but through understanding and suffering. Humanity is dying. Only ~40 million humans remain, scattered across fractured kingdoms that pretend stability still exists. Beyond their borders, the Desolated Realm breeds monsters from ruin, and the Hadas Realm festers with the remnants of war and domination. What once were distant threats are now closing in. But the true danger is not what lies outside. It is what lies within. Blessings—once seen as gifts—are bound by curses that slowly consume their users. The stronger the power, the heavier the cost. Those who seek strength are not rewarded—they are eroded, piece by piece, until nothing remains but what they were forced to become. Sage Jazeera, a boy burdened with an ability that does not grant power but reveals truth. As he uncovers echoes of the past, he is pulled into a conflict far greater than kingdoms or war, a struggle involving fate, memory, and the cost of existence itself. Alongside him are individuals shaped by their own burdens: a prince tied to a forgotten legacy, a warrior who bends gravity to his will, and enemies who do not simply seek victory but to reshape the world entirely. As the story unfolds, the boundaries between past and present collapse. Forgotten wars resurface. Hidden figures begin to move. The world was falling apart.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:LOVE NOT INCLUDED

Wren Calloway has exactly two things going for her: a steady job at a diner she loves, and a dream she hasn't been able to afford yet. Then a man in a suit that costs more than her rent sits down in her section — not to order food, but to offer her a contract. One year of marriage. Five million dollars. And a credit card with no limit. Beckett Harlow doesn't want a wife. He wants his inheritance. His dying father's will is brutally simple — marry within six months or watch the billion-dollar Harlow empire pass to a cousin who'll burn it to the ground. The only woman his father will accept is the waitress who's been serving him decaf every Tuesday for three years. Beckett thinks she's a gold-digger. She thinks he's an insufferable prick. They're both wrong. They just don't know it yet. What starts as a transaction — signed, sealed, strategically airtight — cracks open the moment they're forced to actually live together. Because you can't share a kitchen at 2 a.m., carry someone inside when they've fallen asleep in the car, or hold a man's hand in the doorway of his dead brother's life without the contract becoming irrelevant. The elite world they're navigating is vicious, the opposition is relentless, and the clock is always running. But the real war isn't in the boardroom. It's in the space between two people who agreed to perform love and accidentally started feeling it. Terms and Conditions: Love Not Included is a slow-burn romance about what happens when the deal expires and neither party wants to leave — 140 chapters of tension, tenderness, and the quiet devastation of falling for someone you were never supposed to keep. The terms were simple. The feelings didn't get the memo.

Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill

Every hero starts with power. He started with dust. One moment, the classroom buzzed with teenage chatter. The next, silence fell. Students blinked—and opened their eyes in an ancient hall carved from gold and marble. The air shimmered with divine magic. And at its center stood a goddess—flawless, proud, unbelievably beautiful and wrapped in flowing white. It was a divine summoning performed by a divine goddess. Among them was Vritra… and his stunningly beautiful mother. While others received blessings, powerful physiques and grand titles, Vritra was given a skill so pathetic it made even the goddess wrinkle her nose. An ability—so pitifully weak that it drew laughter, scorn, and even disgust. But that wasn't the worst part. Betrayed and cornered inside the labyrinth, Vritra had two choices: die… or fall into the death trap. A death canopy with no exit and no chance of survival, the only option was to slaughter the demons endlessly for months. Finally!! He forced his dormant skill to awaken, after killing thousands and hundreds of thousands demons and devouring them, becoming a broken ability. A dragon? A demon? What am I exactly? ****** White robes. Cold arrogance A sinful revenge. White robes can stain. And in the dark, even divinity can moan. And then there was his mo— guilt in her breath, shame in her eyes, whispering apologies between gasps in her son's ear, doing what had to be done… for both their sakes, giving birth to a morally wrong relation with him. ________________ Absolutely no NTR, none at all!!!
