Enemies

[BOOK 1 OF HOLY STAR] Set in a world where the most powerful continent is ruled by the most powerful nation, and the most prominent symbol of grand power there is the Temple of Wisdom. Etanai Bazu, a nobody from the slums of Stell City, received a gift from the most powerful celestial, The God of Scriptures, through a life-altering experience that left him with an unstable mind. Along with four A-list military trainees: Chad Bravo, Cassandra Rayer, Bava Edward, and Garu Chanti, Etanai became a Holy Warrior to the priestess of the Temple of Wisdom. 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.)

Can destiny truly decide who deserves to exist? Everything changes when he saves Mirinda Chan, the last Dragon Goddess, and becomes entangled in ancient secrets and a war against the heavens. As his spirit evolves and powerful enemies hunt him down, Le Ken is forced to make a choice: obey fate… or shatter it. And in a world ruled by beasts, gods, and endless conflict, one question remains: If love itself is an act of rebellion, how far would you go to protect it? Because even the weakest soul can rewrite destiny.

Reincarnated and born as a branded slave in a brutal empire of magic, Christian has nothing. No status, no power, and an unawakened core. But the nobility made one fatal mistake: they left his mind intact. On Earth, Christian was the ultimate grandmaster of strategy, a man who conquered empires through flawless logic alone.

From the toxic slave mines to the ivory towers of the Imperial Academy, they think they're dealing with disposable livestock. They don’t realize the match was over before it even began. The aristocrats have power, status, and armies. Christian has a plan. Welcome to the board.

'I didn't kill him' I whispered my camera shaking in my hands while I looked at the blood on the marble floor. 'I know' the man in shadows whispered, his voice like velvet on rough ground.
