Ashes of Vengeance: The General Who Burned The World

M0GWEDH1
Ten years ago, Jara Kingdom’s recruits Haruki and Daikiro, feared street fighters, were brothers-in-arms, bound by a vow to live and die together. When Jara joined the other thirteen ruling kingdoms of the Sondra realm in a war against Craenia, a kingdom that mercilessly erased weaker nations, every able-bodied warrior joined in. However, on the last night of the great war, Haruki watched his brother disappear beneath fire and rubble at the hands of the Sondra alliance chief general, who had deemed them too dangerous together. Haruki survived, but only as a monster fueled by grief. Determined to avenge his brother’s death, Haruki rose through the ranks as a feared general, burning through the Sondra kingdoms he had once defended with his life. To him, they were an offering to his brother’s ghost, before he joined him. But Daikiro lived. — — — Handed over unconscious to the Craenia king by the Sondra alliance chief, Daikiro was subjected to intense torture and his mind broken. Remade into Craenia’s hidden weapon, he was only ever unleashed against their strongest enemies. As a reward, the Craenia king granted him one memory: the brother who abandoned and betrayed him for the rank of general. Fate brings them together on Haruki’s final battlefield. Haruki fights to erase the last army he believes caused his brother’s meaningless death. Daikiro fights to eliminate the man he was told abandoned him for rank. Until memory fragments surface through the clash of steel and the cruel truth bleeds through the lies, leaving the brothers with an unspoken choice: Salvation or doom.

REBIRTH OF THE MALICIOUS EMPRESS OF MILITARY LINEAGE

The morning drums were thundered across the Iron Phoenix of the Military Manor, shaking with the frost from the stone of the courtyards. Soldiers were all moving in perfect rhythm, blades flashing so much under the pale of the sun. Among them were once stood Shi Lian, raised not to be as a fragile lady and modestly surrounded by beauty but as a weapon forged in discipline. Yet their memories now felt distantly like a life stolen from her. Beyond this, were the manor’s harsh strength laid in the Radiant Palace, a place where many of the jade halls and silk curtains where all beauty hid in so much corruption. Every smile was concealed in ambition, every bow being religiously done, is carried out with a calculated. It was a palace where so much in loyalty died quietly. Deep within it sprawled off the Vermillion Harem Court, where the consorts fought wars without their swords. Sweet voices were poured poisoned tea, and rumors traveled faster than the arrows. Here, their reputations were all slaughtered before bodies were. Far away from their whispers, the Imperial Study of their remains cold and silent. Maps of the conquered lands were all covered with the walls, and the Emperor worked all alone beneath the dim lantern light. Once, Shi Lian had believed that the man would stand beside her forever for her. But the battlefield of the memories still burned down, mud, fire, screaming of horses, and betrayals were all in the shape of the lyrics to the rhythm.

The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?
