Baptism Of Blood

A man, bathed in the golden blood of a fallen deity, stands atop a hill, his acolytes looking on in awe. They have witnessed the birth of a new age, a world transformed by his power. His name is Marcus, and his journey began on the first day of the apocalypse. Betrayed by his best friend and girlfriend, Marcus's world was shattered. But as the undead rose, a strange twist of fate occurred. Bitten by a zombie, he didn't succumb to the infection; instead, he evolved, gaining a system that granted him extraordinary abilities. Now, Marcus finds himself at the forefront of a battle for survival against the hordes of the undead and the remnants of humanity. His journey takes him from the ruins of his former life to a world of ancient secrets and hidden dangers. As he grows in power, he must confront the true nature of his existence and the fate of the apocalypse.

Exiled. Stripped. Shattered. Prince Arix was framed for the Empress’s murder by his own brother and tossed into The Abyss —a Dyson-sphere prison the size of a solar system. Most enter the "Scrap Heap" to die. Arix entered to wake up. Deep in the vacuum of the lowest level, a dormant relic in his blood flickers to life: The Warden’s Master-Key System. While the galaxy’s most dangerous criminals struggle to survive the prison's lethal laws, Arix has the power to rewrite them. From the mana-soaked floating islands of the High Fantasy Wing to the chrome-slicked streets of the Tech-Noir Sector, he isn't just planning a breakout. He’s building an army of gods, monsters, and outlaws to march back to the throne. The Abyss was meant to be his grave. Instead, he’s making it his kingdom.

In the dying city of Camelot, magic is a divine weapon of the rich, and starvation is the reality of the poor.

Waking up with a bleeding skull, a starving little sister, and an Inquisitor’s blade at his throat, Brandon realizes something that will change the world forever: Magic isn't a god-given miracle. It is a highly volatile state of energy that perfectly obeys the laws of thermodynamics. Armed with a parasitic magic brand, an unyielding will, and the Periodic Table, Brandon will not just survive this dark world. He will industrialize it. From crafting Aether-powered sniper rifles out of scrap pipes to building mechanical titans that rival dragons, Brandon will ignite a scientific revolution that burns the old gods to ash.

Everything begins with one word: "Karma." Good and evil—two sides that can never coexist. What you give will always return to you. When the world falls into chaos and ruin, Aron desires only one thing—to save the person he loves most. But every step he takes only leads to more suffering. Betrayal. Blood. Loss. Until the day the world brands him as a demon born from sin.

For four years, Pervis Howard was the perfect victim. A human blood bank for his wife's "best friend's brother." A walking ATM for Anna's designer lifestyle. A doormat who apologized for breathing too loudly. When Anna needed Noah's monthly transfusion, Pervis rolled up his sleeve. When Noah needed a place to "recover," Pervis gave up his bed. When Anna wanted to humiliate him in public, Pervis smiled and took it. But every dog has its day. After catching his wife in bed with her precious Noah, after being locked in a basement like an animal, after watching his dying grandmother thrown into the street—Pervis Howard died. In his place rose something far more dangerous: the lost heir to the Coleman octomillionaire empire. Three adopted sisters spent fifteen years searching for him. Three brilliant women raised with one mission: find the Coleman family's missing son. When Aria finally tracked down the broken man in that hospital bed, she didn't just save his life—she awakened a sleeping giant. Now the blood bank has become a war chest worth $800 million. Now the doormat commands armies of lawyers, doctors, and enforcers. Now the pathetic husband owns the very hospital where his wife plays Florence Nightingale. Now three lethal sisters stand ready to help him burn down everyone who ever wronged him. Anna wanted a divorce? She'll get papers served by federal agents. Noah needed medical care? He'll get it—on the battlefield as a combat medic. They wanted Pervis gone? They should have killed him when they had the chance. Because when an Zillionaire heir and God of War decides to collect his debts—with three vengeful sisters at his side—bankruptcy is just the beginning.

The screaming of the wolves was the only warning Jack Cole received before his own flesh and blood pushed him into the abyss of the Whispering Woods. Betrayed by Jesse Grey, the adoptive brother he had bled for across a hundred battlefields, Jack was stripped of his titles and left to be torn apart by the forbidden continent's most lethal predators. But the monsters did not eat him. They recognized the raw, jagged rot of a broken soul, and they chose to obey it. Now, commanding an unstoppable legion of beasts that nightmarish myths are born from, Jack is marching back toward civilization. Jesse has taken Jack's legacy, his home, and his peace, but he cannot stop the tide of claws and fangs coming for his throat. As the line between man and monster blurs, the kingdom will soon realize that the true nightmare did not come from the forest, it was the man they threw into it.
