Ancient Romance

In a magical world where heroes wield legendary swords and devastating spells, one boy awakens his destiny… with a half-burnt stick he dug out of a compost heap. Bullied, underestimated, and often mistaken for actual trash, Quincy Dungsworth never spoke a word—until a mysterious accident unlocks a bizarre power inside him. The source? A strange wooden staff marked with an ancient sun sigil, capable of channeling magic in ways no one understands (including him). Now, armed with questionable martial skills, unpredictable magic, and a face that screams “I’m not supposed to be here,” Quincy must rise from zero to hero—facing monsters, rival cultivators, and the occasional murderous chicken—while trying not to set himself on fire.

Felix Kane, a cynical history teacher, dies in a strange library fire at his school. Instead of heaven, he is resurrected in a strange new world where words build worlds and warriors wield holy texts as weapons. Bullied for being weak, Felix discovers that he is gifted with the Codex System—a living book where he can record, delete, and rewrite facts. Recipes forgotten bring back dead herbs. Lost legends summon ancient beasts. Deleted lies destroy kingdoms. But the stronger Felix gets, he discovers that there is a more sinister revelation: his death on Earth was not an accident. Greater beings have been editing the histories of all worlds. And only him—the Codex Wielder—to pen the final page.

When Jace, a battle-hardened survivor, rescues Ana from the horrors lurking in Creek Falls, he believes he's just saving another life. But Ana is no ordinary girl. Her blood is the key to an ancient ritual that could unleash something far worse than the monsters already stalking the ruins. Hunted through the collapsing streets, haunted by voices that mimic innocence, and stalked by creatures that wear human faces, the two must forge an unbreakable bond to survive. As Ana learns the truth of why she was captured, and Jace faces the ghosts of his own past, one thing becomes clear: in Creek Falls, survival isn't mercy... it's war.

In a world that looks ordinary but secretly thrives with awakened individuals, Edgar Holman is the last person anyone expects to matter, timid, unlucky, and constantly overlooked. But when a near-fatal accident unlocks a dormant power tied to ancient martial and medical arts, he becomes the unwilling apprentice of Master Shin, a man whispered about but never truly known. As Edgar steps into a hidden war between gifted healers and corrupt power-wielders, he must confront a truth that terrifies him: the power that saved his life might be the same force that destroys it. And the quiet, “useless” boy the world ignored? He may be the only one capable of cutting the rot out before it spreads.

Stollen and Lyra were never meant to survive. After their ship is destroyed in deep space, the two astronauts crash onto a mysterious world called Hearth — a planet that is not what it seems. The inhabitants are tiny, the land is wrong, the sky is artificial, and giants like them have arrived here before… only to vanish without a trace. As they struggle to rebuild a ship and escape, they uncover a civilization divided by fear, faith, and hidden power. Seven continents. Seven elders. Ancient lies. Vanishing giants. And a secret buried deep inside the very structure of the world. Trapped between hostile empires, false gods, and a planet that behaves like a machine, Stollen and Lyra must choose: escape Hearth — or uncover the truth behind it. Because this world is not a planet. It is a system. And someone is controlling it.

Betrayed by his noble fiancée, discarded by his family, and exiled to a slum clinic, Ray Graham discovers that his lifelong “illness” was actually a spell to imprison his true abilities, the powers of the mythical Celestial Healer, a being capable of rewriting fate and resurrecting the dead. As Ray heals the forgotten poor, his miracles draw attention from dangerous enemies… and awaken memories they tried to erase. He uncovers the truth: his ex-wife’s family sealed him as a child and stole his identity to hide a crime so ancient the kingdom nearly fell. When he learns that a catastrophic plague, engineered by his own clan centuries ago, is returning, Ray must decide: Will he save those who betrayed him… or watch the kingdom burn?

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.

But when a demon tears open the night and nearly kills him, something ancient inside awakens. Black wings ignite with fire. Forgotten memories surge back. He is no man at all, but a fallen Seraph cast down from the Otherworld. Now, caught between the ruthless demons of the Underworld and the goddess who rules the Otherworld with silken chains, Azrael must uncover the truth of his exile—and why the war has spilled into Earth. Allies are scarce, enemies are everywhere, and the city itself trembles as battle lines are drawn. The embers of a forgotten war are sparking back to life. And Azrael stands at the center—Forsaken, burning, and unwilling to fall again.
