Robbin Vance, a disgraced, jaded Frontier Guard Captain, just wants to quietly get through his exile. When a lonely, remote mining colony falls silent, he and the keen-eyed young scout Elaine see what their eyes couldn't believe, a creature filled with bodies, rooted standing where they fell; their bodies welded, flesh to flesh and bone to flesh, with a weeping, black iron that glows with a pale, alien light in their eyes. General Alistair Thorne and his legendary lost legions have reemerged after one thousand years dormant in the earth below. No longer entirely human, they have become living dead soldiers fighting a thousand year old war to reconquer a continent, to destroy their long-time enemy, an empire the current modern world has unwittingly reconstructed itself around. To do so, Robbin Vance will have to work with Juliana, a natural philosopher with all the keys to the past, to mount a desperate colonial resistance against the brutal, snow-stained winter, and against these ruthless champions when the old world wakes up and finishes its war. To win the war, the living must learn to strike and defend what belongs to them.

"Look into my eyes and say you never knew me." Vincent's voice was laced with pain as he spoke. And without a single change in her facial expression, Elizabeth went ahead to say it. "I can never know a pig in human form." She didn't spare the words that pierced through his heart. This is the story of Vincent, a young student once floating in fame until the eventual death of his father. All the properties of his father were taken away by his evil uncle and he was made to live in the street. And as though that was not enough, he caught his girlfriend cheating on him publicly with the school's billionaire prince, Richard, swearing that she never knew him. Vincent had his heart broken and when he thought that it was all over, fate beamed a bright light on him. It turned out that his father had seen the future and left the biggest consortium in the city in his name. He was no longer the poor student who would beg and do odd jobs just for a meal, he was now the most powerful person in the city. And all his enemies crumbling on their knees.

In a realm where cultivation determines destiny, Wu Tian is born broken—his dantian shattered, his meridians crippled, hidden away by his family as a shameful secret. Yet fate refuses to let him remain weak. From the ashes of despair, Wu Tian rises through trials of blood and fire, mastering forbidden techniques and earning the title of Immortal Hero. Across floating paradises, haunted labyrinths, and dragon‑ridden skies, Wu Tian battles demons, sect traitors, and the terrifying Lo Han Demons, whose strength fuses the resilience of Lo Han warriors with the savagery of beasts. Alongside allies like the enigmatic Zhang Long, the fiery Feng Huang, and dragons of legend, Wu Tian’s journey is one of relentless action, high‑stakes drama, and the eternal struggle between light and shadow. But victory comes at a cost. As Wu Tian ascends, a darker reflection of himself is born—an echo of his own cultivation, a shadow that learns, waits, and hungers. In this Eastern Fantasy epic, where heroes grow from weak to strong, the question is not whether Wu Tian can save his people, but whether he can save himself from the darkness within.

May 14, 1945. Work carried out by the Third Reich was brought to light and made it possible to reveal a secret buried for too long: humanity was not alone on Earth. From this discovery were born protest movements against races that had just come out of the shadows. Fifteen years after the capitulation of Germany and its allies, the outbreak of World War III once again plunged the whole world into chaos. Twenty years later, the period that survivors renamed Dark Silence ended hostilities. In 1983, an agreement was established between human governments and nonhuman rulers. All beings endowed with intelligence created Cicerone, in order to maintain and guarantee interspecific peace. The future was assured, and in everyone was born the desire to move forward, forgetting the grudges of the past. Unfortunately, the bitterness never completely dies, and within the nascent rebellions reappears a prophecy, which can overthrow the powerful of this world. One of them wants more than anything to get his hands on this legend, before others seize it before him. He is capable of all madness to avoid his fall, even if it means pushing his prey to its last entrenchments, until it loses a part of her... and steals a piece of her soul.
