JOURNEY TOWARDS GLORY

David_Adetola
"XENOS: The Golden Age of Strife" In the golden era of Xenos, power reigns supreme, and the world's greatest forces—the Theocracy, the Empire, the Demon World, the Beast Lands, and the Seas—clash relentlessly for dominance. As the world teeters on the brink of chaos, a new generation rises, each brimming with talent beyond imagination. And yet, the saying “tough times create tough men, and tough men create good times” doesn’t quite apply here. Enter Adam, the only son of one of the most powerful patriarchs in the world, burdened by the weight of his family's expectations. He’s born with a gift like no other—an unmatched genius so profound it leaves even the most brilliant minds in the dust. But in this era of overwhelming excellence, even his extraordinary talents may not be enough to survive. For the world Adam was born into is filled with expectations and brutality, where the greatest geniuses of today would have been supreme in any other time. Adam must navigate a world where power, ambition, and ruthlessness shape his destiny. The question is not whether he can rise to greatness—it’s whether he can outlast those who are determined to drag him down. As the world of Xenos spins out of control, the stage is set for a clash of legends. Will Adam’s immense talent be enough to conquer the challenges of his time, or will he crumble under the weight of a world where only the strongest survive?

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same.
