Long ago a great calamity struck the earth, destroying much of it and merging what remained with pieces of other worlds. With these worlds came Aether, a new form of energy that can allow one to transcend the bounds of normal mortality and human limitations. In a world where humans absorb the essence of aether beasts to gain power, Aiden Hawke joins the class of humans known as arcanists, people who defeat aether beasts and absorb their essence into cores they forge within themselves, and who infuse themselves with the aether that permeates the world around them to increase the power of their body and mind. However, unlike most, Aiden will find that he holds a unique gift and that his journey as an arcanist will not be so simple.

Title: THE AETHER DIRGE: RESONANCE OF RUST ​Synopsis: ​"The empire doesn't run on steam. It runs on screams." ​In the soot-choked city of Arcadia, Julian Vane is just another gear in the machine—a mechanic struggling to survive under the crushing weight of debt and the shadow of the Iron Sovereign. But in the deep maintenance pits of Sector 7, a single touch changes everything. ​When a leak of raw Aether contacts his skin, the mechanical hum of the world is replaced by a terrifying symphony. The blue mist isn't fuel; it is a graveyard of souls. The "Aether Dirge"—the collective mourning of the dead trapped within the pipes—has finally found a witness. ​With his fingers turning to cold crystal and the voices of the forgotten echoing in his mind, Julian is thrust into a conspiracy that spans the Nine Rings. The Church calls it Paradise. The Government calls it Progress. But Julian knows the truth: the world is a prison, and the gods are the wardens. ​As the resonance of the dead grows louder, Julian must decide: will he keep the secret and survive, or will he become the spark that burns the empire to the ground? ​The Great Migration has begun. The dead are waking up. And the Center is calling. Original work by Void_Writer. All rights reserved. Any reproduction, adaptation, or derivative use without explicit permission is prohibited.

Before Feng Yi ascended the throne, no one wanted to marry this prince who lacked presence and was out of favor. After his ascension, the harem was filled with the daughters of high-ranking court officials. They were an eyesore to look at and vexing to deal with. He felt that even favoring them would defile his own dragon body. He decided to choose a woman with a fiery, arrogant, domineering, and jealous nature to enter the palace, to cast all this "trash" into the Cold Palace on his behalf. Song Yunzhao had transmigrated to ancient times for fourteen years, all the while laying low and just trying to get by. She was just waiting for the plot to begin, then she would transform into a villainess—arrogant, domineering, fiery, and jealous—so that she would be rejected from the selection and could then choose a husband to live a carefree and happy life with. Later, Song Yunzhao watched as His Majesty smiled at her with immense indulgence and said, "Zhaozhao, come here." Song Yunzhao immediately felt that something was terribly wrong, a chill running up from the soles of her feet. The damned Emperor wore a gentle expression, but his eyes were as cold as ice; he clearly wanted to use her as his blade!
