While dealing with a deranged mind and an uncontrollable power, Etanai is dragged into a journey entailing friendship, alliances, and enemies; dealing with trauma and healing them; trust and betrayal in relationships; the pros and cons of fame; dirty politics in the sacred temple…… then there’s love. The newborn warrior couldn’t fight against the pull of Forbidden Love, not if Priestess Eshya was involved. (Note: bXb and gXg characters.)

The Gods Killer In the beginning, he was Arkan the Eternal—a god born of primordial flame, first among the immortals, wielder of divine judgment. He forged empires with a glance and shattered stars with a whisper. But power breeds fear, and even gods fear what they cannot control. Betrayed by his own pantheon—his brothers and sisters bound by jealousy and fear—Arkan was struck down in a celestial war, his soul cast into the void and his name erased from time. But the will of a true god cannot be silenced. Reincarnated in the fragile shell of a mortal, Arkan awakens in a broken world ruled by the very gods who betrayed him. His memories scattered, his power dormant, he walks the earth as a forgotten man—but the divine blood in his veins begins to stir. As ancient forces awaken and the heavens tremble once more, Arkan must reclaim his lost divinity, defy fate itself, and rise from mortality to become what the gods fear most: Not a rival. Not a rebel. But a reckoning. The age of gods is ending. And the killer of gods has returned.

The Maid is a gripping tale of power, revenge, and an attraction that defies all reason. Julian and Margret ’s first encounter was anything but ordinary. A single misstep—Julian colliding into Margret on her way to a high-stakes contract meeting—triggered a chain of events neither of them could have foreseen. Her drink spilled all over him. His ego refused to bend. In a moment of unfiltered rage, Margret lashed out, unaware that the man she had just insulted held her career in his hands. When Julian retaliated by ensuring her contract was destroyed, Margret ’s world crumbled. Then came an unexpected offer—a new job, courtesy of his assistant. Desperate, she accepted, only to realize too late that she had walked straight into the lion’s den. She was now Julian’s personal cook, trapped in his house with no way out. What began as months of relentless torment soon spiraled into something far more dangerous. Beneath the surface of their battles, an undeniable tension simmered, blurring the lines between hatred and desire. Julian, the man who once sought to break her, found himself ensnared in a feeling he couldn’t control. She was supposed to be nothing more than a mere employee.

Will he pay his ex-wife back? Nah. That would be too easy. Charles leaving her life is like pulling the one stack holding the whole building upright. Will she regret it?
