Under The Oak Tree Characters

THE GOD OF THUNDER The night Egba Kingdom drowned in blood, a five-year-old crown prince vanished into the storm. Omoba Omogun Ogunwole, heir to the throne, watched his parents—King Oluwole and Queen Titilayo—betrayed and murdered by their own chiefs. Presumed dead, the child escaped into the mountains with a loyal servant, where fate answered his grief. For twenty years, Omogun trained under seven ancient spirits, learning not only the power of thunder, but the price of justice, humility, and restraint. When he returns to Egba Kingdom, his uncle—now a tyrant king—rules through fear and corruption. Hiding his identity, Omogun walks among his people as a nobody by day… and as the masked God of Thunder by night. As he punishes evil, protects the weak, and builds a secret army of ten thousand empowered warriors, enemies close in. Dark divination whispers his survival. Betrayers resurface. Love tests his heart when he is rejected for poverty—and later cherished for who he truly is. When the storm finally breaks, the truth will be revealed, crowns will fall, and justice will strike like lightning. In a world where power corrupts, can a man chosen by thunder remain human?

For his entire life, Oscar had known nothing but humiliation and suffering. Orphaned at a young age, Oscar grew up as a man who was constantly looked down upon. Even his own family ostracized him, while the people around him never stopped bullying and humiliating him. The only thing that kept him going was love. However, after two years in a relationship, the woman he trusted the most—Geyssa—betrayed him and accepted the proposal of Derek, a wealthy man who had always looked down on him. Oscar was humiliated. Insulted. Dragged away and thrown out like an animal. But that night became the beginning of everything. After inheriting a sacred circlet that belonged to his late grandfather, Oscar's life changed drastically. The circlet was no ordinary object, but a Magical Talisman left behind by the God of Thunder and sent into the world since ancient times. And Oscar... was the chosen bloodline heir who had been destined from the very beginning. Now Oscar was no longer a weak man who could be trampled on at will. With mysterious powers that continued to grow, he became capable of seeing supernatural things, hearing whispers from another world, and sensing danger through his spiritual sight.

Yet the more they tried to kill him, the more terrifying the power awakening within him became. Even the police, the mafia, and demons themselves... were no longer a threat to him. But behind all that revenge lay a great secret about the true reason the Magical Talisman had been sent into the world. An ancient mission. A hidden war. And a destiny that would determine the fate of the entire world.

To the elite of the underworld, Mateo is a broken man. He scrubs blood from the floors of their illegal arenas, enslaved by debt, absorbing their cruelest insults to protect his ambitious wife, Sofia. He endures the beatings. He swallows the humiliation.

"Ciccio," she spoke, taking a purposeful step forward. "In the realm of business, there exists a strategy known as 'the hostile takeover.' It revolves around the idea of 'if you can't beat them, buy them.' Since you are dissatisfied with the way this hospital is managed and how the staff treat patients, rather than struggling to pay the bills amidst difficulty, why not consider acquiring the hospital itself?"

The Sundered Seal Book One of The Abyss Chronicles For ten thousand years, the abyss was only a bedtime story. Dragons, wyverns, and things with voices that shake the earth were myths told to frighten children into behaving. Then a man in plain grey clothes broke the seal. Veyrath is forgettable to look at and terrifying to know. To fulfil an ideology no one else can bear to hear, he unleashed the creatures of the abyss and spread a curse that turns humans into mindless, murderous abominations. Worse, he cannot be killed, because hundreds of his clones are hidden across the world, each one as powerful as the original. In the quiet valley of Dawnhollow, twins Kaelen and Lyra have just turned twenty-one. She is a prodigy of the wind and the second rank. He is the first Ascendant the settlement has seen in living memory, with a golden light that heals instead of destroys. When the first monster comes over the wall wearing a shepherd's coat, Kaelen sees a frightened human face beneath the ruin, and he learns his gift can undo the curse. But every cure leaves a mark on him. Each life he saves pulls him a little closer to becoming the thing he is trying to reverse. As the dragons turn out to be prisoners of the same sickness, and Veyrath climbs to a rank no one thought possible, the twins must lead a hopeless war with only each other to hold on to. Some monsters can be healed. Some can only be fought. And the hardest part may be knowing which is which.

Kyle had never had it easy. Orphaned young and bullied by everyone around him, he pushed through each day for one reason only—his little sister. She was critically ill, and the only thing that could save her was the legendary, impossibly expensive 'Moonlight Potion'. His one shot? Becoming a Hunter. With real power, he could finally rise above, earn enough credits, and save the only person who mattered. Everything depended on his eighteenth birthday—the day he would awaken his talent. The day everything was supposed to change. And it did... just not the way he’d hoped. While others awakened fire, shadow, and lightning... Kyle got 'Bubble'. A talent that didn't exist in any known class ranking—from mighty SS to pathetic F. Unrecorded. Unrated. Unwanted. Useless. Weak. Pathetic. That’s what they called him. No guild would take him. No party would have him. But Kyle? He just smiled. Because they didn’t understand. Not yet. 'It’s not about the talent you get. It’s about what you do with it.' Let them mock him. Let them call him useless. Armed with an unknown power and an unbreakable will, Kyle walked into the dungeon alone. The world might see him as nobody for now, but he would prove that even an unranked talent could rise—and that the underdog everyone cast aside might just become a legend.
