The Last Card Ranger

Dart_Wooden
When the Collapse tore probability apart, the world fell under a single law: the House of Reckoning deals the cards, and you play or you die. Cole Marrow was a rancher once. A husband. A father. Until the Ace of Spades gang left a card on his doorstep and burned his world down. Now he rides the Ashline Frontier with a revolver, a mutated dog, and a cold System whispering in the dust. Stats rise by risk. Power comes through poker. Every hunt is a wager. Every enemy is a hand. Every choice has a cost. The Royals—Queen, King, Jack, Ten—rule the frontier with stacked decks and reality-warping authority. To reach them, Cole must survive probability storms, dead luck fields, twisted drifters, and High Stakes tables where you ante memory, blood, or years of your life. He doesn’t care. They took his family. Now he’s taking everything back. This is The Last Card Ranger. The House is watching. And Cole never folds.

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?
