The world is torn in two—North and South locked in a bitter war that has lasted for centuries. Hatred runs deep, and generations grow up not to dream of peace, but to master the art of battle. Ryon, a young mage from the North, meets a fiery end on the battlefield, consumed by a devastating magical fireball. But death is not the end. Ryon awakens—reborn in the South, a land where men are believed to be extinct. He inhabits the body of another boy named Ryon, cursed and fragile, surrounded by hundreds of fierce and powerful sisters in a matriarchal empire. Before he can adjust, a mysterious system activates, offering him a twisted chance at survival: • Within 7 days, make 3 women your harem wives, or perish. • Help 30 lost virgin souls discover “the D,” or lose more time and power. • Win the heart of the Southern Matriarch, or lose everything. To survive, Ryon must juggle deadly politics, magical duels, and the complicated affections of warrior queens, cursed priestesses, and yandere generals. As he fights to break the curse and rewrite his fate, Ryon’s choices will shape not only his survival, but the future of a world torn apart by war. Will he outwit fate, build a legendary harem, and uncover the truth behind his rebirth? Or will he burn again—this time, heart and soul?

A story of adventure and discovery. A story of bonds and fellowship. A story of mysteries and mantras. A story of a world only the brave dare to brave. The adventure of a simple young man, brave and strong. A seeker of fun, one who understand the beauty of creation. A creature shrouded in enigma, as deep as the universe. The pursuit of mankind and all creatures in existence. A game of survival, a struggle for dominance. A contest of the braves. Additional tags: Realistic fantasy, Mature, Ecchi, Faction Creation, Romantic Subplots.

I hope you read, and when you read I hope you find that aching- that longing in you. I hope to light a spark of love in everyone who reads me, that will forge a fire of self love- together we can raise Mother Earth higher.

This is my first poetry to my BFF, written on March 7th, 2023. Peach blossom bloomed as gorgeous as bloom rain By: Amoureax Amant Peach blossom bloomed as gorgeous as bloom rain, at branch in full peach blossom on mountain, but left tree branch with wind through amber lake, toward fragrant sea like drifting snowflake. Just left when butterfly danced through peach tree, just left when hummingbird echoed with bee, when rising sun turned dark cloud peach blossom, when drifting rain fell from misty cloud dome. What if peach blossom stayed till September, peach blossom might neither dance through water, nor travel with light breeze through small arbor, toward vast sea like boat sailed from harbor. What if peach asked of peach blossom's journey, here's the answer, freer than in valley.

A collection of poems that I enjoy. Some are poems; some are quotes. They aren't mine--all credit where credit is due. There's no actual lead or genre since there isn't a true plot.

This is my second poetry to my BFF, written on October 28th, 2023. I envied redwood stretched toward heaven By: Amoureax Amant I envied redwood stretched toward heaven, whose branch in branch like hand in cloud ocean, whose leaves like thread weaved curtain covered sky, whose spot like stage light lit for butterfly. I envied stray bird hummed with bugs echo, whose siren song spread through redwood shadow, whose feather swirled like lone-drifting snowflake, whose wings like flash slipped through green amber lake. I envied cowboy rode through siren sight, whose horse ran on green sea plain at twilight, whose gun aimed at wild deer in green forest, whose bonfire cooked deer meat in light gauze mist. I envied fish blew bubble in amber, whose bubble bloomed as gorgeous as flower.
