[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.)

The night Selene Carter slid divorce papers across the table, she thought she was freeing herself from a useless husband. Adrian Kane had spent years under her family’s scorn, mocked as a failure, branded a convict after a humiliating arrest, and too silent to defend himself.

Jason never sought power, legacy, or immortality. Yet when an ancient sword awakens—one that predates names, fate, and even history—it chooses him. Severed from the world by forces that fear what they cannot control, Jason becomes something unprecedented: a bearer without identity, unclaimed by karma, unseen by destiny.

In a cultivation world where talent decides fate, 28-year-old Alexander Kane has spent ten long years as the Azure Cloud Sect’s biggest joke — stuck at Qi Refining First Layer despite endless effort. Mocked daily as worthless trash and robbed of his hard-earned opportunities by arrogant rivals like Victor Lang, Alexander’s final humiliation comes when he is publicly expelled and violently shoved into the forbidden abyss to die. Instead of death, he finds awakening. On the brink of being devoured by a guardian beast, Alexander triggers the Supreme Late Bloomer System — a mysterious power that allows him to absorb any spiritual energy, technique, or heavenly treasure at maximum efficiency and evolve them instantly. What once took others decades now takes him moments. With his new power, Alexander begins a relentless rise. He delivers his first satisfying face-slaps against those who betrayed him, rapidly climbs through realms, and uncovers the terrifying truth: an ancient hidden realm war between long-forgotten sovereigns is stirring once again, threatening to erase the entire continent. Now labeled a demonic anomaly by the very sect that discarded him, Alexander must survive deadly fragment zones, forge uneasy alliances, and grow stronger than anyone imagined — all while the war fragments pull him deeper into a destiny he was never meant to claim. From the weakest outer sect disciple to the one who defies heaven itself… How far will the Late Awakener go when the entire cultivation world wants him dead, and an ancient war demands he rise? The Late Awakener: Never Meant to Rise — a fast-paced cultivation story of revenge, explosive growth, and ancient secrets where one man’s late awakening threatens to rewrite the fate of the world.
