In the war-scarred realm of Galdareth, where beasts of old still roam and kingdoms cling to the ruins of empires past, a nameless orphan scours the Fangwood to survive. His name is Jumong, a wild and fierce youth who makes his living by hunting goblins and taming lowborn beasts for coin. In a world ruled by ancient lore and ever-changing power, Jumong bears no prophecy, no sacred bloodline—only grit and hunger. Amidst the whispers of ancient wars and forgotten gods, a fire stirs within him. This is the story of scars earned, blades dulled, and a name forged in blood.

Mixed Blood Demon and Human in the new world after a cataclysm

Arya Blackthorn, twenty years old and entirely ordinary, has her life upended when she is abducted into the Fae realm by King Kaehl Glasir of the Deer Court—the kingdom of eternal winter. Kaehl claims Arya is meant to be his bride, bound by a thousand-year pact known as the Covenant. But that is a lie.  [DING!]   [NEW QUEST: SURVIVE 100 DAYS]   [PENALTY: DEATH]  Within the Deer Court, Arya must survive poisons, ruthless politics, and the hatred of Fae who see her as weak. Yet strangely, the cold, cruel King keeps stepping between her and harm. When she is poisoned, Kaehl does not hesitate to cut his own hand to craft the antidote. When the Deer Clan demands war, Arya steps forward to defend him. Amidst every danger, a bond forms between them. The Binding Ritual weaves their lives together: if one falls, the other follows. And Kaehl’s favor rises from 5% to 99%. But in Chapter 10, the truth unravels: the Covenant was never about marriage. It was always about sacrifice. When the Blood Moon rises in thirty days, Arya’s blood must be spilled to extend the endless winter for another thousand years. And pulling every string is the Archivist—the man who sold his soul to the Fae a millennium ago. With time running out, Kaehl and Arya hunt for a way to break the curse. They venture into the Forbidden Archives, bargain with the Fox Court, stand against the Deer Clan, and face three trials set by the Owl Court. Only one clue remains: “Only true love, and the freely given blood of a King and Queen, can shatter the Moonstone.” When the Blood Moon finally rises, the Archivist forces Kaehl to strike the killing blow himself. But Kaehl chooses to see the world burn rather than lose her. Together, they bring down the Moonstone with their blood—and their love. The Covenant breaks. A thousand years of winter ends. The ice melts, and the first wildflowers bloom across the Deer Court. One year later, Arya is no longer a sacrifice. She is its rightful Queen. And Kaehl is no longer the heartless Ice King—he is the King who chose spring. Stolen by the Ice King and forced to be his bride: that was the start of Arya’s nightmare. But the thousand-year pact was built on lies. Her blood was meant to be the price. With only a strange System as her guide, she has thirty days to stay alive, melt a frozen heart, and shatter a curse written in blood. Between betrayal, war, and a love that grows in the harshest frost… She must choose: die as the offering, or live—and rewrite the fate of all four Fae Kingdoms. A human girl has thirty days to thaw the Ice King’s heart and break the curse that demands her life—before the Blood Moon rises.

In a realm where the tides of war rise and fall with the birth of every hero and demon king, a young deer stumbles upon a secret that changes everything. Once a simple creature of the forest, it is awakened by an ancient magic, its eyes opened to the true nature of a world where magical beings are hunted, sacrificed, and consumed. Guided by newfound awareness and mysterious allies, the deer embarks on a journey through shadowed woods and hidden glades, discovering powers long forgotten and secrets whispered only by the wind. As it grows stronger, the deer becomes a quiet force of defiance, disrupting the relentless cycle that binds the realm in eternal conflict.

Deep in the wood—back during the days before its blackening and disfigurement—and east of the first Shennong temple lay the site. Without any markers remaining to denote its exact location, the place could not be found any longer. Not that someone was there searching still. As to how the story about the musk deer and the elm spread out of that forest to become a common children’s tale, nobody alive knew. Maybe it was just one of those fables with a moral that mothers loved to cook up: like the naughty boy who cursed his ancestors before being discovered gray and bloated in a river or the adolescent who flouted his father, bit his tongue ferociously mid-argument, and had a physician lop the infected entirety off within the month. Or, considering its ambiguous lesson, maybe not. It was rumored that the musk deer and elm had been lovers in a past life before being reincarnated into non-human forms. As the legend goes, all the animals in the forest had fled in fear of the ravaging fire; the four-legged ran, the winged flew, and those unable to leave were to be devoured in flames with the trees. Only a foolish deer had lingered behind, curled peacefully around the base of the elm as if awaiting sleep amidst the smoke and sparks. Around them, no matter how the world burned, it could not separate them again until the end of that lifetime.
