Blood of the Shattered Oath

In the serene world of Aeloria, where mana-infused gardens bloom under endless azure skies, young Kael Draven shares a quiet moment with his childhood friend, Lira Veyne. Amid laughter and shared dreams, Kael vows to protect her forever, jesting that he'd fend off even a demonic invasion. But as they enjoy their picnic, the heavens fracture with a deafening crack, birthing a rift from which a nightmarish army emerges. Led by the enigmatic Abyssal Tyrant—a cosmic entity hungry for multiversal domination—the demons descend in a torrent of fire and shadow, obliterating cities, forests, and civilizations in mere hours. Kael watches in horror as his family is brutally slain before him, his home reduced to ashes, and Lira is lost in the pandemonium. In his final act, Kael's father—a secretive mage guarding ancient secrets—thrusts the glowing Aetheric Relic into his son's hands, whispering, "Keep it safe, live well, and seek the truth." With a desperate spell, he teleports Kael through a swirling portal to Zytherion, a harsh realm of floating citadels, storm-ravaged wilds, and ruthless factions vying for power. Awakening in a dense forest, Kael's grief ignites the relic, fusing it with his body and awakening Aetheric Fury—a volatile power that surges with his rage, granting fiery energy blasts, enhanced strength, and telekinetic surges. But this gift is a double-edged sword, threatening to consume him if uncontrolled. Stranded and hunted by demonic scouts who sense the relic's aura, Kael stumbles upon a group of teenagers under attack, his newfound power erupting to slay the beasts before he collapses. Rescued by Mira, a resourceful scavenger, and her adoptive father Toren, a battle-hardened guild leader, Kael joins their Dawn Guild—a band of survivors fighting Zytherion's monsters and cults. As he trains to harness Aetheric Fury, flashbacks haunt him: Lira's gentle smile, his father's cryptic warnings, and the weight of his shattered oath. Whispers from the relic reveal deeper mysteries—the Abyssal Tyrant's invasions span realms, and Lira, with her own latent abilities, may be the "Key" to sealing the rifts. Driven by vengeance and redemption, Kael forges uneasy alliances, battles treacherous guilds like the Iron Covenant, and uncovers his father's betrayal: Eldrin may have aided the Tyrant to save Kael from a foretold doom. As demonic incursions escalate, threatening Zytherion and beyond, Kael must venture into the Abyss—the Tyrant's warped domain—to rescue Lira and confront cosmic horrors. In this epic tale of survival, betrayal, and unbreakable bonds, will Kael master his fury to rebuild his world, or will the multiverse fall to eternal darkness? Ideal for fans of isekai epics like The Beginning After the End and intricate mysteries like Lord of the Mysteries, Blood of the Shattered Oath weaves heart-pounding action, emotional depth, and world-shattering stakes into a serialized adventure where every promise is forged in fire.

I love my brother's girl

For a thousand years, the Kingdom of Valemont has never fallen. The crown has always belonged to House Valemont, a royal family believed to be blessed by God. Some say divine blood flows through their veins. Some whisper they can summon angels. Others call it myth. Truth does not matter. What matters is that the throne still stands. The kingdom survives because of four great Duke Houses, known as the Four Pillars. Among them, House Blackthorne is the most feared—rich enough to buy empires, powerful enough to crush kings, yet loyal enough to never take the crown. Until loyalty is tested. House Blackthorne carries a divine curse: The firstborn shall die. To save his eldest son, Magnus Blackthorne makes a forbidden pact with a demon—sacrificing his younger son instead. The curse is broken, but the price is unforgivable. Both brothers are turned into demons, not born as monsters, but made so by a father’s love and fear. To hide them from a world that would execute them on sight, Magnus creates the Umbral Cradle—a secret realm beyond divine reach where time flows unnaturally fast, allowing his sons to grow strong in silence. Now, in 1425 AD, the world believes demons are nothing more than myths. But the seal that once protected the brothers is breaking. One brother clings to restraint and fading humanity. The other awakens violently, embracing the power he was never meant to have. When the truth finally emerges, the gods will watch, the kingdom will bleed, and the world will learn a terrifying lesson— Monsters are not born. They are created.

A SOUL

his is the compelling narrative of Hiro, an orphan navigating a world fractured by an unforgiving caste system where social status is determined solely by the purity of magical bloodlines and the magnitude of innate power. In this realm, populated by powerful Demons, graceful Fairies, and haughty Mages, those deemed 'Half-Bloods' or carrying 'tainted' ancestry are ruthlessly treated as subhuman. Hiro is the ultimate victim of this cruel hierarchy. He possesses the forbidden blood of Demons mixed with human ancestry—a living symbol of impurity. Worse still, fate has denied him the very thing his society values: significant magical talent. Despite his lineage, his innate magical ability is tragically weak, making him doubly vulnerable to contempt and abuse. His childhood, defined by relentless isolation, culminates in a desperate attempt to end his own life on a lonely mountain cliff. His trajectory is violently rerouted by a mysterious Grandmaster, who shatters Hiro's despair with a harsh, undeniable truth: Power is the only currency in this world. Galvanized by this brutal lesson, Hiro finds a terrifying new purpose, returning to the Academy fueled by a desire for strength, even if the traditional magical path is closed to him. The narrative follows Hiro's grueling, decade-spanning journey across various lands and realms, exploring the limits of non-magical expertise and the secrets hidden within the world's most powerful beings. The story explores the ultimate question: In a world obsessed with raw magical might, can a fundamentally weak individual who lacks true innate power use wit, training, and sheer will to overcome both the deepest societal prejudice and his own physical limitations? Can a single Half-Blood, armed with nothing but the strength of A Soul, succeed where all others rely on magic, and truly become a Grandmaster? This is a tale of ambition, resilience, and the monumental fight for worth in a society that judges only blood and might.

Chronos Record:Tale of Eternity

Aristotle Thorne has always been a man of relentless curiosity—but only for questions *he* deemed worthy. For over forty years, a single riddle has consumed him: **“Which came first—the chicken or the egg?”** Refusing to trust the internet (“*Half of it’s lies!*”), he never Googled it. He never asked friends, family, or colleagues, fearing their answers would “taint” his pure, independent quest for truth. The question became his secret burden, a solitary obsession he guarded fiercely. Years ago, in a rare moment of youthful openness, he’d whispered the riddle to his young wife, Elara. *Big mistake.* Women, Aris believed, **cannot keep secrets**. And true to his cynicism, Elara—gently, innocently—shared his “private” puzzle. First with her sister. Then at family dinners. Eventually, even their grandchildren debated it over homework. Aris seethed silently, watching his sacred riddle become a family joke. Now, old and bedridden, Aris lies in a sunlit room, his body failing. As death’s shadow lengthens, the chicken-or-egg question surges back—**sharper than ever**. He *knows* the answer now, of course. His wife explained it years ago. His physicist grandson sketched evolutionary biology on a napkin. The internet (which he finally, grudgingly consulted) confirmed it. But the knowledge tastes like ash. *It wasn’t* ***his*** *discovery.* It was handed to him—by relatives, friends, strangers. The truth he’d hunted for decades felt stolen. With only hours left, Aris turns his mind to a new, darker question: **“What comes after death?”** As he ponders this, a low, guttural curse seems to ripple through the room. *“Imagination,”* he scoffs. Then—**CRACK!** A lightning bolt slams into the ancient oak tree outside his open window. The sky is cloudless. Before Aris can react, a second bolt forks downward—not toward the tree, but *toward him*. It bends physics, slicing through the air in a jagged arc. His hair stands on end. Time slows. He feels it coming… **THUD.** Darkness. And in that void, Aristotle Thorne finally faces the ultimate answer—unfiltered, undeniable, and utterly his own.
