After a divine mistake cuts his life short, Sylas is offered a deal. Reborn in another world with his memories intact and a power tied to the last anime he watched, he awakens in one of the most hostile places imaginable: the depths of the Great Orsted Labyrinth.

Let's go over the list, shall we? Two weeks until the world ends? Checked. A woman I’m doomed to watch die at the end of the world? Checked. An evil organisation trying to ruin my family's divinity? Checked. Plus a primordial evil awakening? Can't make it too easy now, can you? Checked. Too much for one god, but destiny's a bitch and I'm already late, so I won't complain.

coul' d Blood!! Jay, a 41-year-old man, was crushed by the news of his parents' suicide, driven by their inability to cope with mounting debt. Consumed by grief and guilt, Jay's heart couldn't withstand the loss. In his final moment, he pleaded, "My dear God, I have no one but you, you and you alone. Please give me another chance in this world, so I can protect my family." Miraculously, Jay awoke in the body of Yeaon, a young boy, in a world eerily similar to his own, yet starkly different – a world of murim, where the strong prey on the weak and strength is the ultimate currency. Can Yeaon, once Jay, safeguard his new family in this unforgiving realm? The odds seem insurmountable... What do you think?

In a world where the scent of gunpowder mingles with the fragrance of jasmine, Alexander "Alex" Volkov: the most renowned hired killer in the city: finds himself in a situation he never could have anticipated: his target, Isabella "Bella" Rossi, the most powerful mafia mistress, sits naked awaiting him… with an offer he cannot refuse: a marriage of convenience for just one week.

The emperor belongs to the empire. The general belongs to the battlefield. Neither of them belongs to himself. In a court where a single glance can become treason, Emperor Li Tianyu rules with restraint, surrounded by empress, consorts, and ministers who watch for weakness. His power is absolute—but carefully caged. Zhao Junjie, the empire’s youngest Supreme General, has survived war, betrayal, and bloodshed. His loyalty is unquestioned. His silence is dangerous. As rebellions rise and court factions sharpen their knives, the emperor and his general are drawn into a bond that cannot be spoken, named, or revealed. Their connection survives through late-night councils, unspoken glances, and decisions that quietly protect one another—at the cost of everything else. There is no confession. There is no promise. Only loyalty that refuses to break. Beneath the Dragon Banner is a slow-burn historical epic of power, restraint, and forbidden devotion—where love is not declared, but endured.

“Everything I’ve done was for them… and now, no one can stop me. No one, except, perhaps… her". For centuries, civilizations have been built upon stories. Some sacred, others forbidden. But every story is a form of power. And every truth, a form of rebellion. This Book 1 speaks of guilt, faith, crushing responsibilities, and the first tremor of a love that does not yet understand the magnitude of what it will one day destroy. It is not rebellion yet; it is the dawn before the tragedy. I am not trying to retell Dragon Age: Inquisition. The explosion of the Conclave is only the starting point that allows me to narrate another story... the intimate origin of a relationship that will change the world. When I began writing this story during the pandemic, I too believed the tale Solas had sold us. But I came to understand it was only one version within a greater fiction. He was, after all, remembered as the god of Lies, Treachery and Rebellion, depending upon the story. This book is the origin of the woman behind the myth, and of love before the fall. It is an elven tragedy, and all I want is to bare the wound. "I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans...That's my man..."

It took me a long time to find the right tone and turn for this story. This is the third time I write about them, and the first time it truly feels like the story moves forward. Solas is a character who touched something deeply personal in me, a thread of rebellion that runs through my own life. I always felt I owed him a fic. Though perhaps… I owed it to myself. Writing this was beautiful. A personal journey, through and through. This is my little gift to the community, but also, to the apostate I became. “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” Inspirations: All the Dragon Age novels, codex, and games.

ILLUSION FORMS — THE SAGA OF HIDDEN IDENTITY "Can a single thought become a death sentence? Can a spoken word reshape reality?" Legend speaks of an ancient era where power was so absolute that even a faint thought of betrayal or harm towards the Supreme beings resulted in instant death, regardless of distance. Their every word was an immutable law, and their 'Vows' were unbreakable chains of destiny. It is said that these terrifying powers were eventually bound within primordial Seals, for no mortal vessel could ever contain such a devastating cosmic weight without shattering. But where those powers went remains the world's greatest mystery. In a modern era dominated by vampires and shadows, three strangers find themselves entangled in a fate they cannot comprehend: The Silent Mask: A child who survives behind a fragile veil of innocence. Trusting no one and relying only on himself, he is a master of manipulation, subtly controlling the minds and circumstances of those around him for his own protection. He is the quiet storm that no one sees coming. The Invisible Pull: A youth with defiant eyes and unwavering confidence. He is haunted by an unexplainable magnetic pull toward people he has never met, as if his very soul is searching for its missing fragments. The Stern Shell: A ruthless protector who has turned his heart into stone to shield his own. Wary of outsiders and fiercely loyal, he guards his secrets with a cold, lethal precision. As the ancient Seals begin to crack, a terrifying question arises: Are these three merely victims of fate, or are they the very catastrophe the world tried to lock away? "A true ruler does not need a blade to conquer. He only needs to speak—and the world shall kneel."

In a world where clans are not just families but symbols of power, blood, and destiny… Lixuan’s story begins. Mischievous on the outside but quietly broken within, Lixuan never wanted to be a hero. But when darkness stops belonging to the night… and begins to live inside human hearts, running away is no longer an option. Within the calm rules of the academy lies an ancient secret — three fragments of a forbidden stone, a power capable of saving the world… or destroying it completely. Two fragments have already fallen into the hands of Mo Yan — a man who is less human and more catastrophe. He believes the world is beyond saving, and that the only way to purify it… is to tear it apart. As clans begin to distrust one another, as sacred places grow restless, and as the rules meant to protect everyone begin to break — Lixuan is drawn into a war far bigger than himself. With Zhichen’s unwavering strength beside him and the sacrifice of Li Chen forever carved into his fate, Lixuan must face a truth no one is ready to accept: To defeat the darkness… must one become darkness? And somewhere, in an unknown corner of the world… the third stone fragment waits — for a destiny that could change everything.

Intended neither as a casual read nor a rite of passage for the merely eighteen, its content demands more than age permits; it demands sentience.If you seek a story that challenges the very framework of reality and identity, that subverts expectations and plunges into the depths of cosmic horror and human frailty alike, then welcome. As the pages turn, you will understand why this is no ordinary tale, and why to read it is to embrace the unknowable. Dare to stay, and be amused, unsettled, and transformed.

The Beginning of The Beginnings by Simon Smolnik In the endless expanse of eternity, where multiple realms converge and the God decides on the very fabric of existence, there is born an outstanding tale. The Beginning of The Beginnings is not just a tale; it's an experience-born love for imagination, storytelling, and biblical scripture that takes readers deep into the breathtaking worlds of vibrant characters down to the ultimate struggle between good and evil. The Almighty God stands in the midst, and then Sarnel the Eternal Prince of Heaven, a figure whose presence radiates an aura of strength, authority, and grace. Then there is the company of the Seven Great Archangels, who are celestial beings who serve in roles so grand yet deeply personal. It is through epic battles, profound moments of vulnerability, and steadfast devotion that each one of them-Michael, Raphael, Uriel, and the rest-play their role in the unfolding narrative. This story was born from my desire to create something meaningful, something that could bring people closer to each other while also introducing them to the truths that I believe in. I have always loved the idea of crafting worlds from my imagination: worlds of wonder, beauty, and conflict. The Beginning of The Beginnings truly reflects that passion: a mixture of grand cosmic battles, intricate characters, and amazing settings. Growing up in Poland and living in the UK for almost five years surrounded me with the beauty of different cultures, environments, and ways of life. These experiences shaped my view of this world and inspired me to channel that sense of wonder into the stories I write. I hope this reimagining of biblical figures such as Michael or Gabriel can show their stories in a new light, deeply rooted in scripture with creative expression. I love writing epic fights that echo across heaven, creating this huge and expansive cosmology to connect every layer of existence from the Throne of God down into the darkest depths of Hell. But this is not a novel of mere battles and world-building. It's about the relationships between these beings: the struggles, the triumphs, and the unwavering sense of purpose that they have. It's about exploring what it means to be part of something greater than oneself, to stand firm in the face of unimaginable challenges, and to fight for what's right-even when the odds are against you. The Beginning of The Beginnings is my means of sharing this wonder with any who would consider such tales and mortals who genuinely love epic tales, faith, and creativity. I thus hope that this book will allow people to see beauty in these realms and feel the inspiration that strength and love bind them together. This is just the beginning of a larger vision I have, and I can’t wait to share this journey with you. If you want to support me or see more things I'm working on.
