tragedy

Her Ladyship Anastasia Roseline Sinclair of Florence believed she had everything: a noble title, a promising future, and the love of Aaron Dinkley—the charming son of Duke Andrew Dinkley of Fortshire, one of Flambodia’s most powerful fiefs. Childhood sweethearts, Anastasia and Aaron were raised to believe they were destined for each other. But destiny is a cruel mistress. On the eve of her succession to Duchess of Florence, Anastasia is betrayed—by Aaron, the man she loved, her stepsister, and her own family. Stripped of her title, murdered in cold blood, and discarded like refuse in the wastelands, she is left to die. Yet death does not claim her. At the brink of death, Anastasia is reborn—not as a phoenix, but as a vulture. A vulture ready to devour the flesh and bones of her enemies. Cold and ravenous for retribution. She will reclaim her crown, her dignity, and her name. And she will make them all bleed. Because revenge is a meal best served cold. ......... Crown Prince Daniel Maxwell Devonte of Flambodia is feared across kingdoms. Ruthless in battle, merciless in court, he is known as the Dragon—a warrior whose enemies tremble at the mere mention of his name. His fame attracted him more enemies than friends including his own family. His own father King Reginald the Fifth, hated him but mostly feared him because of his power. Rumours swirled in the wind that his mother the former Queen cheated on the King and that he was not his son. However, rumours based on assumptions could not be regarded as evidence. Although it did not stop the current Queen and her minion children to peck around them and use them to their advantage in order to taint his already spoiled reputation. Daniel wears revenge like armor, his fury buried beneath layers of strategy and silence. He trusts no one. Loves no one. Until he meets her. The fiery red-haired stranger with eyes like embers and a soul forged in betrayal. Anastasia. Together, they are chaos incarnate. Two broken souls bound by vengeance, drawn together by bloodshed and ambition. Their enemies will fall. Their kingdoms will burn. And the world will learn what happens when you cross a Duchess and a Dragon.

When the truth is revealed, he must choose between betraying the king or killing the woman he loves. His decision will shape Aurore’s destiny. David, heir of a powerful corporate empire, finds in Aurore the only person who sees him as more than a name. His affection turns into a fragile, sincere love—destined never to be fully returned.

Between lies, manipulation, political murders, and sacrificial love, Aurore must decide: to flee, to fight, or to accept a destiny that could erase everything she hopes to be.

“Science is the closest thing to Magic.” If that is true, then what we call Magic is nothing more than Science we have yet to understand. And if Science itself is merely a codification of wonder, then the boundary between the rational and the miraculous is far thinner than humanity dares admit. Between Scientific knowledge and Religious faith, between Culture and Superstition.  Humanity asked the question:  "When the laws of physics themselves bend under the weight of human will, are we practising sorcery or are we merely revealing deeper ontologies of reality?" Science provides method, proof, and structure.  Magic supplies mystery, awe, and possibility.  Together, they create a paradox. A world where equations are incantations, where quarks and sigils are written in the same language, where love and entropy obey the same law. As such. I posed the same question: "Are we merely revealing deeper layers of reality?" And the world answered: "Absque ulla dubitation" That is the Paradox of 'our' Universal Paradigm. . . . Say that again? P.S.A: Horrendously scientific. Referral to the equation list in the Auxiliary Chapters is a must. Hell, go pursue a PhD in Quantum Mechanics / Particle Physics to understand some of the shit I yap.

The apocalypse arrives, turning the entire global population into zombies. The protagonist, Ye Xin, obtains the Honor of Kings System (the system goes from Bronze to Glory). Each time he levels up, he gains all the skills of a hero. While others have supernatural abilities, he has countless skills from Honor of Kings. No matter where you run, Empress Wu Zetian can cast a massive Fallen Star, and no matter how you kill, Taiyi can use Resurrection. "You, a little mudfish, dare to call yourself a Divine Dragon?"

The story unfolds on a distant planet where existence is defined by a complex layer of immaterial consciousness. In this society, the ultimate punishment is not death, but Social Exile—an eternal state of metaphysical isolation. Those who defy the rigid laws of the system are cast into a separate dimension of awareness. They remain physically present, watching the world and even seeing other exiles, yet they are rendered utterly invisible and unable to interact with reality. In this world, consciousness is a programmable entity, strictly regulated by "Red Points" that mark the boundaries of permissible thought. Any deviation triggers a collective ritual that severs the offender from the social fabric forever.
