Dimitri Apollo, the illegitimate son of the influential Levan Apollo, was never destined to claim the throne of the Apollo Empire. But when his stepbrother Quinn...a reckless, pleasure-seeking heir...ignites a scandal that shakes their dynasty to its core, chaos takes hold. Framed for their father's brutal murder, Dimitri becomes the perfect scapegoat in a scheme orchestrated by his calculating stepmother. Condemned to seven years in prison, Dimitri loses everything he held dear. Behind bars, however, Dimitri discovers allies in the most unexpected places...a brilliant tech expert, a master thief, a fearless tracker, an incisive data analyst, a charismatic salesman, and a former dancer with lethal precision. Together, they forge a pact: to reclaim the Apollo Empire and bring justice to those who ruined Dimitri’s life. Seven years of meticulous planning. Seven years of unyielding resolve. Now a free man, Dimitri steps into a world that has moved forward without him. The empire he once knew lies in ruins, and his adversaries have only grown stronger. But Dimitri is no longer the marginalized son. With his loyal team by his side, he is determined to seize what was stolen...by any means necessary. The throne was never his birthright. Now, it’s his for the taking.

In a distant galaxy, where the myth of the "Ancient Humans"—a mighty race that vanished without a trace—still haunts alien civilizations, a discovery shakes the balance. Archaeologists from the conservative Caledonian Kingdom find Ethan, an Ancient Human, preserved in a cryo-capsule. Instantly, Ethan becomes the center of attention: to Caledonia, he is the incarnation of their ancient god, a symbol of divine power they can claim; to forbidden cults and the galactic mafia, he is a Satan to be destroyed or his DNA sold to the highest bidder. Amidst this chaos, Ethan, who is not divine at all, sees a golden opportunity to pursue his personal agenda. With sharp wit and charisma, Ethan skillfully plays his role as the prophesied "heir," exploiting the beliefs and fears surrounding him. He begins to gather loyal followers from various strata of Caledonian society, including curious scholars, skeptical guards, and dissatisfied nobles. Behind his divine mask, Ethan relentlessly studies the secrets of ancient Caledonian technology, searching for traces of the old human civilization that might hold the key to his species' revival. Every threat from Satan hunters or DNA traffickers he turns into a demonstration of "divine power" or an opportunity to strengthen his position. As time passes, Ethan begins to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of the Ancient Humans and how deeply Caledonia is involved in guarding those secrets. His discoveries reveal technology far beyond the current understanding of the galaxy, giving him the tools to realize his vision. With an expanding network of followers and profound knowledge, Ethan leads a revolutionary movement. He does not wish to resurrect his species as worshipped gods or feared demons, but rather as a new, independent force, ready to take their place among the stars and reshape the destiny of the galaxy.

The god is dead, but its memory is hungry. Three thousand years ago, the god Tharos fell. Today, his fossilized remains—the Lorn Expanse—serve as the lifeblood of an empire. In the shadow of the Ribs of Lorn, the Empire of the Spine mines god-bone and harvests aetherich to power a civilization of brass and gears. But for those who toil in the dust, the cost of progress is madness. Kael is a survivor of the bone mines, forever changed by a catastrophic collapse in Chamber 19. While others died from the weight of divine essence, Kael woke with the "hum" in his blood. He now hears the frequencies of the dead god and tastes memories trapped in the dust—a gift that feels more like a slow-acting poison. He wants only to survive the grueling life of a scavenger, hiding the resonance that marks him as different. Everything changes when he encounters Ilara, a woman whose voice carries a power that shouldn't exist. She is a Vessel, capable of singing raw god-bone into life, and she is being hunted by the Empire’s mechanical enforcers. The Empire has spent centuries trying to stabilize divine energy, but Kael and Ilara represent something they cannot control: a living connection to a waking god. As the "Thrice-Born" prophecy stirs and the ground beneath the salt flats vibrates with a terrifying new rhythm, the two must flee toward the heart of the god’s corpse. In a world where technology is fueled by the sacred and bone-tech determines the hierarchy of man, Kael and Ilara must decide if they are the harbingers of a new era or the final echoes of a dying god's scream. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/869094/fictions
