Monster Rule 34

In the underworld of ruthless power and unforgiving loyalty, I made an oath that would bind me for life—a blood oath sealed by vengeance, desire, and a woman who became my most dangerous weakness. They call me a monster, a king in a kingdom built on violence and fear. But I never asked for this life. I only wanted to survive. Then she walked into my world—fiery, untamed, and brimming with secrets. Our bond was meant to be temporary. A flash marriage. A simple alliance in a world where trust is a currency no one dares to spend. But with her, everything changed. The Mafia doesn’t forgive, and neither do I. She’ll learn that soon enough as I drag her through a storm of betrayal, bloodshed, and passion she never expected. Our marriage may have been a lie, but my hunger for her is very real. Now, we’re both trapped by an oath we can't escape, each step we take pulling us deeper into a world that only one of us will survive. And in the end, the savage honor I live by might just be the death of us both.

In a modern world draped in the illusion of normalcy, secrets crawl beneath the surface. Cities bustle with unaware citizens, blind to the existence of the gifted, warriors, healers, mages, and monster hunters, born to protect a fragile balance between reality and chaos. Among them lies one boy, invisible to destiny… until destiny calls his name. Ridiculed, discarded, and cast aside, 17-year-old Kael Ardyn is a nobody with no spark of magic or strength. But when he saves an old beggar from thugs, Kael is taken in by the man, who reveals himself to be a forgotten legend of the ancient world. Under his brutal mentorship, Kael is reshaped, body and soul, into something the world has never seen: a martial-arts prodigy with forbidden medical mastery. As monsters tear through cities, noble families scheme, and powerful organizations hunt the reborn legend, Kael finds himself at the center of a hidden war, a war he might just be born to end. But power comes with a price. Can he uncover his true lineage before it consumes him? Or is he merely a pawn in a game older than time?

Dying a tragic death after being betrayed and used as a mere tool, the young man swore that he would never live for anyone else again if he were ever given a second chance. Yet, fate threw his soul into the body of Aldric—an illegitimate son of a king, who had been slaughtered at the bottom of the Forbidden Forest's ravine by his very own biological father. On the brink of death for the umpteenth time, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed inside his head: [Egoist System Activated]. This mysterious system did not require a holy hero. Instead, his power points surged drastically every time he made a selfish and ruthless decision. Forged by the darkness of the cursed forest, he began to crawl his way back up with a black sword in hand, preparing to tear down the royal throne built upon demonic sacrificial rituals. He did not return to become a savior for this rotten world. He came to seize the highest throne, and to become a monster far more terrifying than the rulers before him. "For the deepest wounds never give birth to a hero."

Synopsis — Blood of the Synopsis — Blood of the Dragon When Kael survives an execution meant to erase him, he discovers the truth written in his veins: he carries the blood of a dragon long thought extinct. In a world where dragons were once worshipped as gods—and later hunted into legend—such blood is a death sentence. Hunted by the fanatical Order of the Severed Flame, Kael is forced into the depths of a cursed forest where his awakening draws the attention of an ancient dragon spirit bound to his soul. As scales form beneath his skin and fire answers his rage, Kael learns that his power is not a curse, but an inheritance born of betrayal, war, and forgotten gods. Torn between preserving his humanity and embracing the monster the world fears, Kael must choose whether to suppress the dragon within and die as a man—or unleash it and reshape the world in flame. As kingdoms burn and old powers stir, Blood of the Dragon is a dark fantasy tale of fate, identity, and the terrifying cost of becoming legend.

Once a legendary general, Kael Ardyn was killed on the battlefield—betrayed by those he trusted most. But fate offers him a second chance. A chance to be reborn. Not as a warrior. Not as a hero. But as a sickly prince everyone believes is already half-dead. The palace sees him as useless. His stepmother wants him gone. His stepbrother is already reaching for the throne. But Kael remembers everything from his past life. The wars he fought. The strategies that won battles. The mistakes that led to his death. Reborn into a weak body, Kael hides his recovery and begins to move carefully—protecting his younger sister, uncovering poison within the palace, and turning enemies who mock him into pieces on his board. When the woman betrothed to him is taken and offered to his stepbrother, Kael is left with only one path forward: a brutal tournament meant to decide strength and if he is worthy enough to marry her and to rule the kingdom. This second life is his chance to do things differently—and to take back everything that was stolen from him. The throne awaits, but the path is paved with danger, deception, and trials that will push him to his limits. Can the reborn prince prove he is the kingdom’s true heir—and become the ruler history will never forget?

Seventy-eight years after the fall of the galactic hyperspace gate network known as The Veil, humanity’s once-glorious empire lies fragmented, drifting in the ruins of forgotten technology and collapsed alliances. Planets have become isolated war-states, AI gods rule over fractured digital realms, and ancient secrets fester in the vacuum of space. When the Veil mysteriously reactivates, releasing a wave of untraceable quantum signals and impossible anomalies, former war criminal and memory-hacker Riven Hale is pulled out of cryo-prison for one last mission: uncover the source of the reawakening, and prevent a second collapse. As Riven travels from derelict colonies to technocratic citadels, he uncovers a disturbing truth—reality is fraying. A mind-plague known as the Mnemonic Dust is rewriting memories across systems, blurring the lines between past and present. At the center of it all is a fanatical cult called the Dustborn, who claim the universe is a decaying simulation built by extinct, higher-dimensional beings known only as the Architects. As Riven pieces together his forgotten past and the role he once played in an erased war, he’s hunted by synthetic assassins, haunted by implanted memories, and drawn into a war for reality itself. The question is no longer who controls the Veil. The question is—what is real?

Daniel only wanted an ordinary day. Classes, a bit of hanging out, then home before the rain grew heavier. But that humid afternoon became the beginning of the apocalypse. Humans began attacking humans, and the transformation happened right before his eyes. “Monsters don’t need a screen to be real.” Daniel said quietly. “And now they’re here. Everything Xavier talked about has come true.” This was not an ordinary outbreak. The colder the air, the faster they evolved. An air conditioner left running could become a death sentence. Rain was no longer a relief, but a trigger for slaughter. Trapped on the upper floors of the campus building, Daniel survives with Chania, Bianca, Xavier, and Kimberly. Five people with different fears, ways of thinking, and moral limits. Outside, the monsters grow faster. Inside, human decisions become even more dangerous. Chania said, “He almost bit us.” Daniel replied, “Not almost. He stopped being human a while ago.” This is not a story about heroes trying to save the world. This is a story about survival as the temperature continues to drop. And about one rule that cannot be negotiated. In Degrees of Death, the ones who die first are not the weak, but the hesitant.

Ancient Frost Thrones are awakening. Mystical powers spread across the frozen world. Humans evolve into terrifying new beings. And hidden deep beneath the glaciers lies a sleeping entity known only as: The White Sovereign. As kingdoms rise from the ruins of civilization, Pascal must decide whether to protect humanity… Or rule over its frozen remains.
