Ancient Romance

Three years after the Great Resonance shook the world, New York City has become a war zone. Skyscrapers have turned into monster-filled dungeons. Central Park has mutated into the Green Abyss. And the ancient bloodline families hidden for centuries now rule the city like ruthless kings. Kai Vance is a nobody. A broke bike courier with no pedigree, no power, and no future. Until the day a monster horde corners him and a calm, mechanical voice speaks in his mind: << Aura Ascendancy System initializing… >> Suddenly, Kai’s life is rewritten. The System grants him quests, perfect techniques, and refinement paths the elites spend years mastering. While noble heirs struggle to reach Level 11, Kai is being pushed toward the unimaginable Level 13. His rapid rise draws attention and danger. The Astors want to control him. The Guan Yu clan wants to recruit him. The Tammany underground wants him dead. And a dormant bloodline within him marked only as is awakening, one that terrifies even the oldest families. Worse, the monster attacks are becoming organized… almost intelligent. Earth itself seems to be evolving, and the noble families are ready to sacrifice the rest of humanity to survive. Armed with a System designed for the ordinary, Kai must master every refinement stage, rally the scattered System-Blessed, and fight through dungeons, beasts, and corrupt aristocrats to claim his destiny. From a nobody courier to the Demi-King of the city, Kai will rise and rewrite the fate of a reborn world.

Marcus Hale dreamed of becoming a hero. At ten, he played knight in the sunlit streets of Millbrook—until the demons came. When the Enforcers, elite magical warriors, chose to defend the capital instead of his village, Marcus lost everything: his parents, his home, and his faith in the world. Six years later, he enters Valorheart Academy as a Defender—the lowest rank in the magical caste system. Assigned to shield others while nobles chase glory, Marcus is mocked by instructors, denied access to advanced knowledge, and forced to accept that power is for the privileged. His only light is Isabella Rodriguez, a brilliant Mage and his first friend—maybe more. But even that is taken when Arthur Blackthorne, a powerful noble with eyes on both Isabella and the throne, maneuvers Marcus into disgrace. Stripped of allies and on the verge of expulsion, Marcus discovers a forgotten power buried beneath the academy—a living source of ancient magic that offers him what society never would: a choice. He fuses with it. Survives it. Becomes something no Defender was ever meant to be. With new abilities and a mind sharpened by betrayal, Marcus begins to reshape the academy from within, gathering outcasts and training them to challenge the system. He’s not just fighting for equality anymore—he’s building a revolution. But the deeper he delves into power, the more he risks becoming like the very tyrants he vowed to destroy. Love, loyalty, and vengeance collide as Marcus confronts the brutal truth: to create a new world, he may have to burn the old one down. He was born to defend a world that discarded him. Now, he will destroy it.

For a thousand years, the Dragonforge has slumbered, its molten heart pulsing with the blood of the first dragon. Every century, it awakens to choose a champion, one who will either reforge the legendary Dragon bane and slay the Eclipse Wyrm, or become its vessel and doom the world. This time, it chooses Dain, a lowly blacksmith’s apprentice with no magic in his veins. But Dain hides a secret: he is the last descendant of the Dragonforge Heir, a bloodline cursed to bear the weight of the world’s salvation, or its destruction. On the night of his twentieth birthday, Dain’s adoptive father, Borin, is murdered by the Order of the Silver Flame, a fanatical sect of dragon-slayers who believe Dain’s blood is the key to unleashing the Wyrm. Forced to flee, Dain discovers the truth: his hands bear the Mark of the Forge, and his veins run with the same fire as the ancient dragon. Hunted by the Order and pursued by the Ashen Covenant, a cult that worships the Wyrm, Dain must master the lost art of Runesmithing and gather the Seven Sacred Ores to reforge the Dragon bane. But the deeper he delves into his heritage, the more he questions whether the Wyrm is truly a mindless beast, or a prisoner of a divine betrayal. His only allies are Serra, a disgraced knight of the Silver Flame who wants to burn the world to save it, and Veyla, a sorceress of the Ashen Covenant who hears the Wyrm’s whispers in her dreams. Together, they journey across the shattered kingdoms of Eldros, from the Phoenix’s Nest to the Tomb of the Forgotten King, each step bringing Dain closer to the Wyrm’s awakening—and his own transformation.

Nikole gestured for Michelle and Kelvin to sit up and pay close attention. "Listen carefully," she said, her tone serious. "What I'm about to tell you would change your reality right now, and you might never hear anything like it again." Taking a deep breath, Nikole began her tale: "Two hundred years ago, there were two brothers who ruled different lands. They found a special cup called the Nightshade Chalice, rumored to give whoever owned it incredible power and eternal life, jealousy tore the brothers apart, leading to a fierce battle over the chalice”. "The Nightshade Chalice was made from ancient gods' bones and filled with blood from many sacrifices," Nikole continued, making sure they understood . "Their father gave the chalice to Alaric, which made his brother Leopold very jealous. Leopold wanted the chalice for himself, so he attacked Alaric's kingdom during a lunar eclipse." As Nikole kept talking, Kelvin and Michelle started to feel a bit bored. They yawned a few times, and their eyes looked droopy, like they were struggling to stay awake. But Nikole noticed and stopped for a moment. She knew she had to make the story more interesting to keep their attention. "Wait," she said, sounding urgent, "this part is really important. You need to hear it." "The chalice can only be used by someone special, called the son of light, who guards a hidden realm with a secret seer. For two hundred years, the chalice has been dormant, its dark power sealed away by the seer's magic."
