Blade Cross

Kailannnnnnn
During the Sengoku period, one of the most brutal times in Japanese history, Takayama Ukon, a young and devout Christian samurai, found himself forced to serve under Oda Nobunaga, a man despised by Ukon's father, Soemon. This allegiance, born out of the necessity for survival amid the constant conflicts, would lead Ukon down a path where, over the years, he would find himself against those he once served and helped, while standing alongside those he had killed and helped to kill—men who shared his faith. As Ukon's purpose and cause were redefined, he came to understand the path he must follow. He realized that his survival had become a weapon in the fight for the survival of those who sought his death and those who sought his help. If necessary, there would be war, blood, and tears. But despite all the darkness, there would also be light. Thus, the Pillar of the Japanese Cross was born, and from this birth would emerge another pillar—Amakusa Shiro, a young man who, while understanding that he needed death for life, also understood that he needed life for death. Later, he would lead a revolt that shone, not in the world's victories, but in the most victorious defeats ever seen.

The Duke's Unwanted Second Wife

**Mature Content** Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

The Architect of Anarchy

The ancient gods battled the eternal Void for decades, until they sacrificed themselves to weave a grand enchantment using the strings of existence. Before its imprisonment, the Void left behind an insidious whisper, a curse consuming all the realms, until only the Sacred Sanctuary remained.. Chaos Creatures were unleashed to wreck havoc upon the five sacred realms, and with them came the Noise. Every human born after the Age of the Gods becomes susceptible to the Eplialtic Weave–the cursed version of the Rune of Imprisonment rooted deep in the consciousness of every human being. Equipped with the vile system, heroes must arise to defend to few remaining humans against Chaos Creatures, the Noise and Corruption. ———— On his 16th birthday, Luke survives his Nightmare and becomes a Commonality – Tier 5 awakened warriors armed with miraculous abilities. Because he is a poor rat with a severely malnourished consciousness, he had never expected to survive the Nightmare and activate the Eplialtic Weave system inside him. He learns of the profane nature of his powers, and navigates the cosmos in search of the Truth. The Rune of Imprisonment is collapsing. It would only be a matter of time before the Void breaks free and wrecks havoc in the entire cosmos. The massive responsibility now falls on Luke's shoulders - he must make sure that the Void remains sealed forever, but he fails to account for one fatal flaw... ———— Discord://discord.gg/t8X7Gkd2
