Ashes of the Broken Empire

Script301019
In the declining years of the once-mighty Eryndor Empire, endless wars, corrupt nobles, and internal struggles slowly tear the empire apart. Along the distant frontier, where imperial authority is weak and danger is constant, a young farmer’s son named Kaelan Var grows up witnessing the brutality of war. When a border conflict escalates into a full-scale campaign, Kaelan is forced to leave his village and join the imperial army as a simple recruit. With no noble blood or powerful patron to support him, he must survive through discipline, courage, and an instinctive understanding of the battlefield. As years of brutal campaigns reshape the empire, Kaelan rises slowly through the ranks—from an unknown soldier to a respected commander. While generals compete for glory and nobles fight for power within the capital, Kaelan earns the loyalty of the soldiers who fight beside him. Through strategy, sacrifice, and hard-fought victories, his name gradually spreads across the war-torn provinces. But as the empire weakens further, civil war erupts among rival factions seeking control of the throne. Provinces break away, armies turn against each other, and the once-united empire collapses into chaos. In this age of fire and betrayal, Kaelan faces a choice: remain a servant of a dying empire, or seize the opportunity to shape a new future. With the loyalty of battle-hardened soldiers and the support of war-torn frontier provinces, Kaelan leads a final campaign that will determine the fate of the land. From the ashes of the broken empire, he rises not only as a legendary commander—but as the founder of a new kingdom forged through war.

Hurt Me Like You Mean It [BL]

[Updates resume March. Due to exams] [This book contains, explicit and mature scenes—no r*pe. Not advised for viewers under 18, protect thy purity] Lance Dixon is drowning in a debt that isn’t his. His parents’ financial mistakes have fallen entirely onto him, and his life has collapsed into a constant struggle to stay afloat. He has never denied what he is. Lance is a masochist, and most people he’s dated couldn’t handle that truth. Every relationship ended the same way, leaving him with needs no one was willing to meet. Everything shifts on a night he drinks too much and ends up venting to a stranger. In a mix of frustration and alcohol, Lance jokes that he’d sell himself to anyone willing to pay off his debt. The stranger, Ansel Lowell, doesn’t brush it off. He asks how much. And when Lance tells him, Ansel offers a deal: three months living under his terms, in exchange for clearing the debt completely. The deal is straightforward and seems almost like relief. But as the days pass, the dynamic between them deepens in ways neither expected. What began as a simple exchange grows into a connection that is far more consuming, and far more dangerous, than either of them intended. [Excerpt] Lance meant to pull away when Ansel stepped closer, but his body didn’t move. Ansel’s hand hovered near his jaw, just close enough to make Lance’s breath catch. “Do you understand what you agreed to?” Ansel asked quietly. Lance swallowed. “You’re paying off my debt. I stay with you for three months. That’s it.” A hint of a smile tugged at Ansel’s mouth, which made him more dangerous because of it. “No, Lance. That’s the surface of it. I want you to hear the truth.” Lance’s pulse stumbled. Ansel leaned in just enough that Lance could feel the warmth of his breath. “I’m going to take up space in your life. I’m going to have you when I want you. I’m going to learn every weakness you try to hide, and I will use them. I will claim you, piece by piece, until you can’t tell where your choices end and mine begin.” Lance exhaled shakily. “Do you worst Mr. Lowell, I can handle it.”
