O Bored Prowler of the white pages stained in dark ink. Do ye tire and lose interest in the scrolls of endless writers that tell the dry tales of Systems? Of modern men who traverse through time and space to arrive in fantastical worlds where they achieve naught but baseless journeys? Of tasteless worlds with no intrigue, failing to grasp thy mind? If that be the case, hearken unto me, O Prowler! Let me appeal to thy desire for adventure and darkness, bringing thee into the world of LEASTRIA, where ye shall follow the story of foul men born from distorted shadow! Where selfish Stars toy with fate from their Odd Demesnes! Where the Enlightened, the Sorcerers, the Cradlers and the Genuine Accursed roam and rend the Sheltered Lands with their obscene lust and greed! Where ye shall follow the story of the Cursed Child as he seeks ‘The Bringing’ and rises from meagrehood to significance under thy eyes. Hearken unto my voice and begin this tale, if ye fear not to prowl in Mythology. Do ye dare, O Prowler, to be lost in true Fantasy? ---------------- I will be posting this story on Royal Road under the name Shade Arjuun

When demon hunter Myles Cross is killed during a mission gone wrong, he expects hell—or worse. What he gets instead is an offer from the Lord of the Underworld himself. Reborn as the Hellborn, Myles becomes Hades’ last hope in a cosmic chess game where the Seven Trumpets—ancient relics powerful enough to trigger the apocalypse—have begun to surface. With one strapped to his wrist in the form of a mysterious watch, Myles must now face a brutal new reality: hunted by demons, betrayed by humans, and haunted by what he's becoming. As the Paragon—an elite faction sworn to exterminate all supernatural threats—capture him and question his existence, Myles finds an unlikely ally in the cold but conflicted Lieutenant Anna Storm. Together, they must survive assassins like the sadistic Kaelin, the shape-shifting shadow Nixx, and the monstrous Infernox. But as each trumpet awakens, the line between salvation and damnation blurs. And with his powers growing and his past life crumbling, Myles must decide— Is he the world’s last defense? Or its doom incarnate?

The Thornton family made one fatal mistake: they assumed the man scrubbing their floors was actually who he pretended to be. For five years, Adrian Kane played the role of the worthless son-in-law. He delivered food for minimum wage. He wore the same three shirts. He endured mockery, abuse, and betrayal from the family who thought they were doing him a favor by letting him exist in their world. They called him worthless. A beggar. A parasite feeding off their success. They had no idea he was the exiled heir to the Kane Empire—a shadow conglomerate worth over $800 billion that secretly owned everything they thought they'd built, including the very company bearing their name. When Adrian finally signs the divorce papers, the mask comes off. The beggar becomes the king. And the Thorntons are about to learn that the man they treated like a dog owns the leash they've been wearing all along. Revenge isn't just sweet—it's a billion-dollar empire crushing everything in its path. They humiliated him for five years. He'll destroy them in five days.

"Kill them all...Burn it down..." Those are the words I heard echoing in my head ever since the day I woke up in Lorelei. The voice sounds familiar. I've heard it before. But would it be crazy if I said it sounded like me? Would it be crazy...if I said i remembered dying? Utterly rediculous. To repeat the same thing over and over, expecting a different result while changing absolutely nothing. I was the son of a Duke and a commoner in a foreign land. Through pain and suffering, I somehow managed to marry a beautiful Princess of that land. You know...after my father got eaten by a dragon. And after being locked in a dungeon and tortured by her insane sister... But none of that matters now. Because my world lies in ruins. Everyone I've ever known is dead. All except my beloved, who stands to protect me with her shield. But I don't mean to say that things have been destroyed... What I mean, is much simpler. Avernia is gone. Gone forever. Lost to the plague I called 'The Black Ooze'. But I'll avenge it. I'll kill the one responsibke for massacring my family and destroying my world. They'll regret having made an enemy out of me. Because the sword I wield is called Vengeance. The Overseer sword. The Omni-Weapon. No matter the cost...I will have vengeance. I'll kill them all. I'll burn everything down. Author's note: I sincerely hope you enjoy my work, but keep in mind that I am my own editor and I don't see everything. there might still be a few errors. Sorry! This is an original work.

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.
