Mass Effect: Building a New Empire

Kingdom_Building
Nolan Calloway dies on Interstate 90 and wakes up as Marcus Webb, a disgraced Alliance Lieutenant stationed on Eden Prime just as the Reaper invasion begins. By touching a Prothean beacon, he accidentally triggers the "Sovereign Mandate System," a powerful strategic interface that allows him to claim territories, recruit Hero Units, and synthesize lost technologies using Mandate Points. Now, while the rest of the galaxy looks to Shepard, Webb is busy building a private interstellar kingdom. He recently diverted a stolen corvette toward Rannoch to help Tali’Zorah, planning to use his "Cycle Breaker" protocols to rewrite the fate of the quarians before the Reapers can harvest them all.

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?
