Lie

He walks the palace halls wearing a prince’s face and speaks a hero’s words but every night, another body falls but behind his smile lies a blood-drenched secret. They say he came back from a coma. The truth is, he came back from the dead. When Prince Kairo returns from a decade-long coma, the kingdom of Caelwyn rejoices. But their hope is misplaced. Because the man behind the youthful eyes is not the prince. It is his uncle Malrick Vale, a disgraced noble once thought dead who has carved himself into his nephew’s likeness through years of planning and surgical reconstruction. He claims to avenge the friend the crown betrayed. But his true desire is darker. He craves what only power can give him: the freedom to kill whomever he chooses, whenever he desires. The mask of royalty offers protection. The crown offers complete control. Only one woman knows the truth. Sheila Ren, a former maid who narrowly escaped his blade years ago, becomes obsessed with exposing the monster beneath the mask. Alongside Tate Wyvern, a disgraced royal guard tormented by guilt and bound to justice, she risks everything to stop a man who has fooled a kingdom and who will never stop hunting his prey. And they must stop him before he turns the entire kingdom into his hunting ground. Because once he sets his sights on you… you’re already dead. But in a world where mirrors lie and monsters wear crowns, who will the people believe?

In a world ravaged by the malevolent touch of the God of Demons, Mazoku, a planet teeters on the precipice of annihilation. The once-solid barriers between the human realm and the dreaded demon realm lie shattered, plunging the world into chaos. Nature's laws have become twisted, and an unending war rages among the four kingdoms since time immemorial. The undeniable truth emerges— the world is hurtling towards its demise. Yet, amidst the relentless torment wrought by a colossal sword forged by the very hands of the God of Demons, a faint glimmer of hope persists. This formidable weapon, driven into the heart of the planet, paradoxically presents a solitary chance for salvation. Once every three millennia, the Night of Fate descends, shrouding the land in an otherworldly aura.

Within this enigmatic domain, these chosen souls are burdened with a profound quest: to undertake a series of arduous missions, each with the potential to mend the shattered world. Success bears a promise as poignant as it is uplifting—those hailing from the human realm will be whisked back, their planet’s wounds finally sutured. A glimmer of hope beckons, for a path to restoration is laid before them. However, the road to redemption is fraught with peril, as failure yields a fate far bleaker than one could fathom. Those unable to rise to the challenge find themselves imprisoned within the very realm they sought to conquer—the World’s Fury Realm. In this desolate expanse, destruction and agony reign supreme, unending torment that only death can bring respite from.

“I buried you,” the traitor whispered. “Then dig deeper,” Kaelen replied, voice like sand on steel, “because I’m not done rising.” Zaria stood behind him, the wind pulling strands of her hair like fire-dancers in the dusk. “Let them come,” she said. “We burn hotter together.” The masked woman landed beside them, blades humming with heat. “You still don’t get it,” Kaelen muttered, watching the desert pulse like a living thing. “Get what?” “This isn’t a fight for gold.” “Then what is it?” Kaelen smirked, cracked lips bloodied. “It’s the reckoning.” Kaelen was left for dead in the scorching sands of Sutekh; stripped of his name, his wife, and the child he never met. But the desert doesn’t forget. It carves vengeance into bone. Now, Kaelen rises from the ruins of betrayal as something more than a man: marked by ancient fire, hunted by his half-brother, and haunted by what he can’t remember. As he claws his way back through a kingdom built on secrets, one thing drives him: Zaria. His wife. Missing, maybe dead; or worse, weaponized by those who want to claim a legacy soaked in blood. But Zaria is no victim. Imprisoned and pregnant, she holds the key to an empire long thought dead. And when her twin sister emerges from the shadows to seize that power for herself, love becomes war — and the price of legacy is life itself. In a world where loyalty is a lie and prophecy demands sacrifice, Kaelen must decide: will he reclaim what was stolen; or burn it all to the ground? OF FLAME, SAND, AND GOLD is an epic fantasy of fire-forged vengeance, unbroken love, and the rebirth of a forgotten kingdom.

Ten years ago, when the Abyss tore open the world and the greatest heroes fell, one young genius walked alone into the darkness and stole its Power Core. The invasion stopped. Humanity was saved. But the Core exacted a terrible price: it shattered his cultivation, crippled his body, and slowly devoured his soul. To keep the Abyss from reclaiming its heart, he refined the Core inside himself in secret for a decade, enduring mockery, abandonment, and the quiet contempt of everyone he had once protected. His fiancée lost respect. His family turned away. Former comrades called him a broken failure. The world forgot the savior who had paid everything. Then the refinement finished. Power returned—not as it once was, but far beyond any known realm. Kael Valerian was no longer human. He had become the Master of the Abyss. On the night of his awakening, he overheard the truth: his fiancée and a powerful noble planned to kill him and seize his inheritance. That night the weakest man in the world vanished. The strongest being in history walked free. Now, under a false identity, he moves through kingdoms and ruins, gathering allies, taming legendary beasts, and unlocking the Abyss Core’s deeper secrets. Old enemies will recognize him. Political wars will ignite. A second invasion will rise. And the true origin of the Abyss—an ancient civilization’s forgotten crime—will force him to confront not only those who betrayed him, but the lie upon which the entire world was built. Revenge. Power. Slow-burn love. Kingdoms at war. And the burden of a forgotten hero who must decide whether to save the world again… or rule the darkness it created. The Abyss Sovereign has returned.

Brother’s Due follows Kian Wu, a loyal disciple living in the shadow of his brilliant older brother, Tao, within the Ironveil Order-an ancient institution built on the myth of sealing a demonic threat. Unambitious and devoted, Kian asks only to support his brother. But when Elder Shou discovers the Order’s dark origins, Tao murders their master to protect the Order’s noble lie and frames Kian with cold, grieving perfection. Cast into the subterranean Hollow Vaults to have his core suppressed, Kian encounters the entity locked at the bottom of the world. It is no demon, but the original god the Order betrayed and entombed centuries ago. Realizing Tao framed him simply because Kian was loyal enough not to fight back, Kian forms a pact with the forgotten deity, learning to cultivate through primordial "resonance channels" that bypass all modern seals. Escaping the depths, Kian emerges to witness Tao’s coronation as Grandmaster. Hidden in the shadows, he hears Tao deliver a heartbroken, deeply sincere speech declaring his brother "dead to him." Kian comes to a terrifying realization: Tao is not acting. He has rewritten his own mind to genuinely believe his betrayals were righteous sacrifices for the greater good. Rather than seeking blind vengeance, Kian begins a calculated campaign to dismantle the Order’s foundational lies. Guided by the ancient god, he masters forgotten resonance techniques and gathers allies among the world’s forgotten outcasts. Meanwhile, Tao expands his empire under the banner of absolute purity. Their conflict escalates from a quiet family tragedy into a war for the continent's soul, as Kian fights not merely to defeat a villain, but to shatter the golden delusion of the brother he once loved.

Nathan Cross is a respected forensic accountant assigned to audit the country's most celebrated charity, the Soren Foundation. He uncovers a horrifying truth: the foundation is a front for laundering money tied to assassinations, political manipulation, and worse. Before he can report it, he's framed — his office raided, evidence planted, his name dragged through the media. His father collapses under the stress and later dies. His sister Chloe vanishes the same night he's arrested. In prison, Nathan realizes this was never about the money — someone needed his spotless reputation to make the lie believable, and now they need him gone. With help from a mysterious ally with their own agenda, he escapes during a staged ambush on a prison transfer. The world believes he's dead. Nathan watches his own funeral from a distance. Two years later, he returns to Blackridge under a new identity, quietly hunting the people who destroyed his life. He discovers they're all connected through a hidden network called The Ledger — and at its center is Victor Soren, the philanthropist everyone trusts. As Nathan dismantles Victor's empire piece by piece, journalist Elena Brooks — who built her career chasing "the truth" about Nathan's guilt — realizes the mysterious stranger she's investigating is Nathan himself. Together, reluctantly, they dig deeper: corrupt judges, bought police, a mentor whose loyalty is unclear, and finally, proof that Chloe is alive. As Nathan closes in on the truth behind why he was chosen to be framed, he must decide what kind of man his revenge will make him — and whether exposing The Ledger is worth the innocent lives it could also destroy.
