Kingdom

What if the world called you powerless… but you were the key to unleashing the greatest force ever sealed? Seventeen-year-old Kai Arclight has always been the weakest—the boy with no magic in a world ruled by it. But when a brutal twist of fate awakens a forbidden power within him, Kai finds himself hunted by elites, haunted by visions, and bound to a force older than the elements: the Void. As whispers of war rise and ancient secrets unravel, Kai must choose: become the hero the world expects—or the monster it fears. In a realm of betrayal, bloodlines, and face-slapping awakenings, one thing is certain: power never comes without a price.

In the kingdom of Solrune, Ash Revenhart has lived his life without a Mark of Origin, the symbol of magic that defines one’s place in the world. On the Day of Awakening, Ash remains unmarked—until the orphanage he calls home is destroyed by fire. Barely surviving, he discovers an ancient power deep beneath the city and forms a pact with a mysterious spirit, unlocking a dangerous form of magic known as Veilcraft. Now, Ash must navigate a world that sees him as both a threat and a savior. With the Veil inside him, he uncovers secrets about the Ashen—those born without marks—and their connection to an ancient evil. As he gains power, Ash faces enemies from the Dominions of Crest, including the fierce noblewoman Velka Aurin, and must choose whether to embrace the darkness within or protect the world from it.

Power wears many faces. Magic is just one of them. When a sickly noble heir stumbles upon a strange gift — the ability to see through the veil of power. He sets out to rebuild his crumbling house, not with sword or spell… but with silver, strategy, and secrets. But in a Kingdom where strength is currency and weakness gets buried, Cael Varissen must learn fast: wealth is fragile, war is inevitable, and magic? It’s far older and hungrier than anyone cares to admit. What if the most dangerous magic wasn’t in spells, but in shrewd business deals... and dangerous alliances of the heart? In a world where political ambition, economic strategy, and forbidden desires hold as much sway as any ancient power, every alliance comes with a price. This is the heart of House of Ash and Gold. ...

He was called Weaveless, the boy without magic… Kael Merren is a walking mistake at Ardentum Academy: a scholarship fluke with no relic, no lineage, and no spark. Bullied and mocked by nobles, he’s the powerless orphan no one expects to last—until a cruel prank leads him to the Forbidden Ruins, where an ancient relic binds to him and awakens a magic not granted by birth, but earned. As a forgotten prophecy stirs and a rising cult seeks to free the Hollow King, a dark sorcerer sealed centuries ago, Kael becomes their target. Feared by those who once scorned him, he must embrace the power he was never meant to have and become what the realm never expected: a warrior forged by will, not blood. Magic didn’t choose him. He claimed it, and with it, he’ll challenge everything.

His name was Zyren Drakos—a name whispered like a curse and remembered like a legend. Once left to die on the blood-soaked battlefield of the fallen Aetherion Kingdom, Zyren’s fate should have ended there. But death had other plans. Rescued by a notorious poison master shunned by the martial world, Zyren was reborn—not as a soldier, but as a living weapon. Trained in silence and shadows, he mastered forbidden arts. Every breath he took, every enemy he struck down, carved his path in poison and vengeance. But everything changed the night he saved her—a courtesan cloaked in mystery and beauty, with secrets deeper than her smile. She gave him his first taste of love... and cursed him forever. Now, hunted by assassins, betrayed by allies, and chased by the ghosts of a war not yet over, Zyren fights not just to survive—but to uncover the truth. Because somewhere in the chaos, the courtesan vanished... and left behind a single message: “They were never after me… They were after you.”

They burned his name. Betrayed his trust. Left him for dead. But death…didn’t take him. Aiden Vermillion, once mocked as the weakest man in the kingdom, rises from the ashes of betrayal wielding a power ancient enough to terrify the gods. Branded a nobody. Forgotten by history. Hunted by darkness. He returns cloaked in a new name, a new face...And a vengeance that could crack the heavens. With a system bound to his bloodline, an empire to reclaim, and a prophecy written in demon blood, Aiden is no longer just fighting for justice. He’s coming to tear kingdoms apart. To expose traitors. To shatter thrones. Three wives. One sword. Infinite rage. The Lord of Destruction wants the world to burn. But Aiden? He plans to burn Vatou first.

In a world ruled by bloodlines, secrets, and supernatural wars, can a broken soul rewrite his destiny? Elais was supposed to be dead. But fate had other plans. He awakens in the body of Prince Alaric—right in the heart of a kingdom he once swore to destroy. As he walks the palace halls with revenge burning in his veins, a cruel twist of destiny turns him into something else entirely: a vampire hybrid. With newfound powers he barely understands, Elais dares to challenge his former master—one of the most powerful wizards in history. But revenge isn't easy... especially when you can't even lay a finger on your enemy. Just when hope slips away, the person he loved most introduced him to an ancient Hybrid system “Congratulations. Your journey to ascension has begun.” “Congratulations. You’ve just obtained the Sword of Legends.”

He was the world’s top gamer—the undefeated champion of Kingdom War Online. But moments after claiming his final victory, he died… only to awaken inside the game—as the very villain everyone wants dead. Now reborn as Lord Virex, the last boss fated to fall, he holds all his memories, strategies, and battle instincts—but none of the player perks. Worse, he’s stuck in the body of a tyrant hated by the world, with an endgame war looming that promises his destruction. His only shot at survival? Break the rules, rewrite the story, and conquer the world before it conquers him. With cunning, charisma, and sheer dominance, Lord Virex begins gathering powerful female war generals—once enemies, now loyal to him alone. Each one is deadly. Each one desires him. And each one holds the key to changing fate itself. But the deeper he goes, the more secrets he uncovers… and the closer the real enemies draw. In a world where betrayal lurks behind beauty and every move could trigger the end, can the villain become the true king?

But fate grants him a second chance reborn as the Tyrant’s Heir, with the memories of his past life burning like fire in his veins. This time, there will be no mercy. With a system that allows him to cultivate, level up, and unlock golden finger powers, Kael vows to rise from the ashes. Every scheming courtier, every backstabbing noble, and every traitor who once mocked him will face his revenge. From a weak, overlooked heir to a ruthless warrior prince, he will crush his enemies with cold precision, turning humiliation into face-slapping victories. Yet behind his sharp blade lies a secret: the true enemy is not only within the palace walls, but lurking in the shadows of the empire itself. Will Kael use his rebirth to seize the throne, rewrite destiny, and build a kingdom stronger than ever before? Or will the chains of betrayal tighten once more around his neck?
