Synopsis

Draco had risen to the top of the world through his exploits in the legendary FIVR game, Boundless. After years of intense conflicts between his guild, Hellscape, and the guild of his former infidel lover, Darkrow, things came to a head when Draco conquered all. Now, nothing stood in his way of total conquest within the highly acclaimed second world of mankind, as he intended to fortify his new empire. Unfortunately, a timely assassination sent him back into the wheel of time for reincarnation, but not even the Gods gave him peace of death. Thrust into the past, Draco realized he'd been given a second chance at life to start from scratch, with all the knowledge of over fifteen years of almost absolute power in Boundless. Now, his path to glory will be far shorter and filled with more bloodshed than Hades could handle. ___________________________________________________________________________ WARNING: If you're the type to be triggered easily, please do not read.

Dreamwalker wars

In the city-state of Aethelburg, power isn’t just bought with money or blood, it’s bought with control. Control of the Spire. Control of the Wardens. Control of the ley-fed systems that keep the city alive. And when that still isn’t enough, people start reaching for the one place no law can truly patrol: the dreamscape. Konto is an unlicensed Dreamwalker, a psychic infiltrator who can enter a sleeping mind and survive what lurks inside it. But Dreamwalking isn’t clean work. It’s drowning in other people’s terror, taking psychic feedback straight to the nerves, and risking the kind of corruption that turns a human mind into a predator. When a high-ranking figure’s death is dismissed as an “accident,” Konto is pulled into an investigation with Liraya, a woman with the mind of a strategist and the nerve to challenge Aethelburg’s most protected institutions. The deeper they dig, the clearer the truth becomes: this wasn’t a single death. It’s a system. A weapon. A ritual. And at the center of it is Moros, a force capable of dragging nightmare-born horrors into waking life and bending minds until identity itself starts to unravel. As the city edges toward a mass psychic collapse, the Arcane Wardens close in, the Spire’s politics turn lethal, and Konto’s most personal grief becomes a target. Because in Aethelburg, there are worse fates than dying in your sleep. Sometimes, you wake up and realize the war has already started.

Who will win her love in the end? This is a slow burn romance. ------ Lucian took a step forward, Christine took a step back, her back hit the door. Lucian placed his hands on either side of her head pinning her in, his face came closer, she could feel his breath. "What does your gut tell you, Miss Parkins?" Christine couldn't think, she was already undressing him. She averted her gaze, he removed this right hand, placing his fingers under her chin. He forced her face gently so that she was looking into his eyes. "Do not look away from me, tell me what does your gut say?" Christine gulped. "M... My gut says you are hiding behind a barrier, you are not dangerous to me." Lucian smiled at her, he moved his face an inch closer, their noses almost touching. "I am a very dangerous man, Miss Parkins. Your gut is wrong." Christine's head was spinning, then why did he ask me what my gut says if he will only brush it off? Before she could muster a retort her cooking alarm went off. "That would be lunch." ---- Warning: This story does contain smut, R-18.

Realm Wars

[Mature Content] A long, long time ago. In this world of power and magic, war is constant. The six realms in the world of Septverden have been shackled in perpetual conflict. They have engaged in slaughter and battles among themselves for every reason possible, from territory, resources to meaningless semantics. In the era where the mortal realm is the weakest among the six realms, where human bones and ashes covered the entire Blue Earth Continent, Empires rise and fall as the never-ending cycle of war birthed boned deep hatred that even centuries can’t erase. Until the mortal realm no longer can take the oppression and give birth to a new generation of heroes. With power equal to that of the Heaven and Nether Realm. With strength and agility on par with the Beast realm. With magic and spells second only to that of the Elfen and Spirit realm. With these. The mortal realm stood shoulder to shoulder with the five realms and humans sore to never-seen heights. Together, they reclaimed their lands and repelled the five realms back to their continent. And the world of Septverden finally known peace. Or so the tale goes . . . --- PLEASE TAKE NOTE! The first chapters, the MC is weak, mated and became a servant. I know you'll hate Cecily but at most she wouldn't be present in the latter chapters. If you could make it through Arc 1, then 2, and 3 wouldn't even mention her and the servant thing. SPOILER! In Beast Realm Arc maybe Arc 4, the mate bond will break as well as his restrictions. He'd be OP then.

Not a comprehensive review. I hope this will settle the issue about the perceived racist views of the author and Chinese people. The author based off the novel from historical periods. Specifically - though I have no idea whether this is exact - I note matchinng political themes surrounding both the Taiping ********* and the Opium Wars of the mid 1850s. The reason you see foreigners described as devils is because of the destructive ways the British and other traders would exploit the weakness of Chinese society by cultivating a dependence on opium. The effect was similar to the Demons in the story actually 'consuming' the Chinese. There are accounts of Chinese villages in the era that were facing hunger due to food shortages yet would reserve Opium kiosks to fuel opium addiction. The Taiping ********* is self-explanatory! The Heavenly Kingdom in the story and earlier Demonic Churches were reflected in both the Taiping ********* and the An Lushan *********; two sessions of Chinese civil wars that were the most destructive seen by any measure of modern or antique history. The winged demons that plagued lower level fighters? Those were the European clippers and naval warships that were so much faster than the Chinese navy. The whole farming arc where ZT improved the food situation was the famine that the era saw. The mid 1850s was especially troubling for the Qing dynasty due to a series of natural disasters similar to what were experienced during the twilight period of the Tang Dynasty in the early 900s. Infact, I highly suspect that the earlier Demon Wars are a reference to the Tang Dynasty period's troubles with the An Lushann *********. As to demons in other countries? I see this as the series of wars the mid 1800s saw such as the American Civil War that was the 'Western Continent' in the novel. Personally, the author was brilliant in crafting this story. Sure, the hatefulness of foreigners in the story appears exaggerated, but any serious student of history ought kow how badly foreigners appear to have behaved in many a nation. In any case, given parallels to actual history, does anyone feel the depictions are wrong? Remember, the author must have kown he would face these accusations from the earliest thus his relationships with many non-Han wives. So guys, appreciate this most awesomest of novels and give it a good look-over.

One characteristic is the vivid portrayal of historical settings. These books often describe in detail the Chinese ports, the opium dens, and the ships involved in the opium trade. For example, in 'Sea of Poppies', the description of the ships and the life on them gives a real sense of the time. Another characteristic is the complex characters. There are usually characters on both sides of the conflict, like the British traders and the Chinese officials and common people. These characters are often multi - dimensional, with their own motives and backstories.
