Ancient Romance

“I buried you,” the traitor whispered. “Then dig deeper,” Kaelen replied, voice like sand on steel, “because I’m not done rising.” Zaria stood behind him, the wind pulling strands of her hair like fire-dancers in the dusk. “Let them come,” she said. “We burn hotter together.” The masked woman landed beside them, blades humming with heat. “You still don’t get it,” Kaelen muttered, watching the desert pulse like a living thing. “Get what?” “This isn’t a fight for gold.” “Then what is it?” Kaelen smirked, cracked lips bloodied. “It’s the reckoning.” Kaelen was left for dead in the scorching sands of Sutekh; stripped of his name, his wife, and the child he never met. But the desert doesn’t forget. It carves vengeance into bone. Now, Kaelen rises from the ruins of betrayal as something more than a man: marked by ancient fire, hunted by his half-brother, and haunted by what he can’t remember. As he claws his way back through a kingdom built on secrets, one thing drives him: Zaria. His wife. Missing, maybe dead; or worse, weaponized by those who want to claim a legacy soaked in blood. But Zaria is no victim. Imprisoned and pregnant, she holds the key to an empire long thought dead. And when her twin sister emerges from the shadows to seize that power for herself, love becomes war — and the price of legacy is life itself. In a world where loyalty is a lie and prophecy demands sacrifice, Kaelen must decide: will he reclaim what was stolen; or burn it all to the ground? OF FLAME, SAND, AND GOLD is an epic fantasy of fire-forged vengeance, unbroken love, and the rebirth of a forgotten kingdom.

In a land shrouded in mystical aura, where the very air tingles with the power of cultivation, a lone figure walks down a desolate road. Li Wuji, a hunter from the small town of Blue Carp County, finds himself lost in the vast wilderness of the Qianlong Province. He has been on a journey for weeks, driven by a burning desire for revenge against those who wrongfully imprisoned him in the dreaded Black Temple. As he wanders aimlessly, Li Wuji is drawn into a world of intrigue and danger. He soon discovers that his freedom is short-lived as the Six Sects, the most powerful and feared groups of cultivators on the continent, have set their sights on him. They are after a priceless treasure that he possesses, and will stop at nothing to get it. In his quest for revenge, Li Wuji journeys through the most treacherous places in the land. From the Sunken City, where the souls of the lost haunt the murky waters, to the Twilight Plains, where the shadows come alive and dance in the moonlight. He braves the Shadowy Forest, where the trees whisper secrets and the creatures lurking within are more than mere beasts. He crosses the vast expanse of the Pearl Lake, where the tranquil surface hides a deep and ancient magic. Along the way, Li Wuji encounters fierce creatures like Golden Lion and the Emerald Dragon, and mystic beings like the Moon Bear and the Shadow Lynx. He also meets other sects, some of which offer their aid, while others seek to hinder his progress. As he travels, Li Wuji's story will be whispered among the cultivators and ordinary folk alike. His name evokes a either sense of praise or disgust, for he is the hunter who dared to challenge the Six Sects

“The Aura chose him. The System changed him.” The Aura arrived without warning. Draven Ashford was stacking canned peaches in a dusty Cleveland supermarket, humming off-key just to fill the silence. “Another thrilling night,” he muttered. He reached for the next can and the air suddenly thickened, warm and heavy. “Uh… hello?” he whispered. A soft green glow rolled across the floor like fog. The shelves shook. The lights flickered. “What is that?” Draven breathed. Before he could move, the green wave slammed into him. The store went dark then everything turned bright green. “This… can’t be real,” he whispered. That moment became Day Zero. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Three months later, cities were covered in glowing vines, strange plants, and constant green mist. Draven Ashford was just trying to survive the ruins of a world torn apart by the mysterious Aura. Cities lie in green mist, monsters prowl the streets, and the strong both human and otherwise rule by power. But when a strange system awakens inside him, everything changes. From the shadows of broken buildings to the chaos of mutated creatures, Draven discovers he isn’t prey anymore. Skin strengthening, enhanced senses, and slow mastery of Aura begin to reshape him step by step, level by level. Yet even as he grows stronger, he realizes he’s far from ready. Ancient bloodlines awaken with powers far beyond his own, monsters lie in wait, and the path forward is treacherous. Armed with only his wits, a mysterious system, and a spark of determination, Draven must rise in this new world or be crushed beneath it. *Survival isn’t enough anymore. To thrive, he must awaken

To save his family, he had to stop being human. Twenty-four-year-old Jid has spent his life in the dirt, breathing the rust of the Bulwark slums. As the sole guardian of his younger sister, Sommy, his world is measured in scraps of bread and the hours of backbreaking labor he sells to the powerful guilds. He doesn’t dream of glory; he dreams of a roof that doesn't leak and a meal that doesn't taste like ash. But the world outside the walls is changing. The "Infected" are evolving, and the shadows are growing teeth. When a high-stakes raid into the forbidden zones turns into a bloody execution, Jid is the one left behind. Betrayed and gutted by the monsters in the dark, he should have died in the mud. Instead, something ancient and hungry found him first. Jid wakes up to a world he no longer recognizes. The pain is gone, replaced by a cold, mechanical pulse in his mind and a shimmering gold light in his eyes. A strange, haunting interface now dictates his every move, granting him powers that defy the laws of time and biology—powers that the ruling corporations would kill to own. But the "System" isn't a gift. It’s a tether to an outer-world threat that views humanity as nothing more than ink on a page, ready to be erased. Now, Jid must return to the city that abandoned him, hiding the monster he is becoming while using his new abilities to protect the only person he has left. He survived the death of his old life, but as the hunger grows and the "System" begins to rewrite his soul, Jid realizes the hardest part isn't surviving the dead—it’s surviving the thing he’s turning into. And whatever is coming for him.

Supremacy was never meant to be theirs alone. The top, the pinnacle, supremacy was never reserved for them!!! In this world, the question isn't about what I desire, but rather, what is my purpose? Here, our wishes are not respected, they are forced upon us. Only one reigns supreme. From the chaos of the past to the sea of forgotten dreams, and from the sea of forgotten dreams to the gates of living nightmares, the boundaries of reality blur, and the line between light and darkness becomes ever more indistinguishable. Who truly holds supremacy? What does it mean to be supreme? What do you genuinely seek?

Kieran expected death but when he opened his eyes, he wasn’t greeted by a celestial herald or a mystic inheritance. He was greeted by the rotting stench of the Verdant Cloud Sect’s refuse pits thrown there after his Qi channels were shattered for daring to protect a fellow disciple. A cripple. Trash, discarded by the world of cultivation. As despair threatened to consume him, a cold, resonant voice echoed in his mind not from a heavenly treasure, but from the very spiritual garbage surrounding him. [System Initializing…] [Host Located: Zero-Star Aptitude. Mortal-Body. High Compatibility.] [Welcome to the Cosmic Scavenger Initiative. Processing Local ‘Waste’…] While geniuses plundered ancient tombs for legendary swords, Kieran’s system analyzed broken pill slag to reconstruct perfect Divine-grade elixirs. While young masters absorbed pure spirit stones, his system taught him to devour the corrosive resentment from cursed artifacts, turning poison into pure, terrifying power. His domain wasn’t a pristine meditation chamber it was the dump. And every piece of “trash” was a puzzle piece to ultimate strength. They laughed when he crawled out, covered in filth. They sneered when he dared to re-enter the outer sect as a janitor. But when a demonic beast core deemed too unstable and discarded by the Patriarch landed in the refuse heap, Kieran simply smiled. [Scanning… ‘Catastrophic-Level Waste’ detected. Beginning Assimilation.] Now, the sect that discarded him trembles. The geniuses who mocked him are baffled. For the man they left in the trash is sifting through the bones of fallen gods and the wreckage of dead realms and his cultivation path is built on everything they were too arrogant to see. This is the rise of an underdog no one saw coming, A cultivator who will forge a throne from the universe's waste.
