Blind Bureaucrat

SovereignofShadows
“I died to a truck. Reincarnated into a knight’s son. Became a war hero. Lost my eyes. Now I teach the people who rule the world.” After dying in modern-day Japan, a sharp-minded man awakens as Aren Von Ashenlance, the eldest son of a noble knight family in a vast and powerful fantasy Empire. Trained in the sword, tested by war, and famed as a brilliant general, Aren earns glory—only to lose his sight in the chaos of battle. But his story doesn’t end there. Recognizing Aren’s genius, the Emperor appoints him as the Imperial Arbiter of Finance, the highest authority over the Empire’s economy. With the power to control coin, trade, and resource flow, Aren becomes a quiet executioner—able to elevate or economically destroy noble families with the stroke of a pen. Yet even that isn't enough. Summoned once more by the Emperor, Aren is made Head Instructor of the Imperial Academy, the continent’s most prestigious institution for educating nobles, commanders, and officials. From within its ivory towers, Aren now teaches instructors and students alike—instilling in them his sharp philosophy, unshakable discipline, and the brutal truths of power, strategy, and administration. Blind, feared, and revered, Aren shapes the future of the Empire not with a blade—but with policy, principle, and pen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Author’s Note Blind Bureaucrat is a story born from my love of fantasy worlds where power doesn’t always come from the sword, but from the mind. We’ve seen countless tales of overpowered warriors and magical prodigies—but what happens when a man wields influence through laws, ledgers, and lectures? This is the journey of Aren Von Ashenlance—a modern man reincarnated into a war-torn empire, who rises not just through battle, but through sheer intellect. Though blind, he sees the world more clearly than those around him, and his words carry more weight than any army. If you enjoy politics, strategy, and the subtle warfare of influence and bureaucracy, this story is for you. Thank you for joining me on this journey—and I hope you grow to love Aren’s world as much as I do. —SovereignofShadows

My Two Billionaire Husbands: A Plan for Revenge

[Warning: Mature Content, R18+] Camilla Watson-Veston was left with no choice but to leave her wealthy life behind and raise her son alone as an ordinary employee. A woman filled with rage and anger because of the betrayal of her one true love is indeed very dangerous. When all she could think of was revenge, karma has its funny way of rewarding those worthy with what they deserve. Sometimes not just one, but two or more blessings at once. What will Cammy do if the universe gives her not only two options to consider but three or more? Will she be able to choose which path she should take when nothing seems to be the right one? When freedom costs too much and happiness is hard to reach, will life turn Cammy into bitter from sweet? ********** Story Excerpt: "You’re fucking stunning, Cammy, and don’t let anyone make you think otherwise. Your husband’s a fool for letting you go. I’m going to show you exactly what you’ve been missing. Even if it’s just for tonight, I promise you won’t forget me. After this, I’ll be the only man in your mind," Greg said before capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. Was it wrong to accept it just because she was married, even though the man she was married to had been betraying her time and time again? Her mind let go of logic; she no longer cared if what they were doing was forbidden. She had made up her mind to surrender herself to him completely, letting him do whatever he desired with her tonight. So she whispered, “Turn off the lights…” Greg smirked, knowing the switch was just within reach, but instead of turning the lights off completely, he dimmed them to the faintest glow without removing his gaze from her. “Forgive me, Cammy. I cannot turn it off completely. I want to see your face when I take you to heaven over and over again while you are screaming my name.” Her hands traced his broad, strong chest, feeling its strength and solidity. ‘Oh God, I’m touching another man’s body!’ she shouted silently in her mind. Before her courage fully faltered, she felt Greg gripped on her wrist, as he released her lips, and whispered, “Not yet, Ms. beautiful. Let's take it slow… I want you to remember our time together as your best without any regrets. I want you to remember me as the man who made you feel important and wanted. Tonight you're the only woman in my life. The only woman my eyes see and my mind thinks of. You are mine, and mine alone. Do you understand?!” ********** A song excerpt that mirrors the emotion of the book. ***The song is not mine.*** I remember back when we were in love And we followed the fire in our hearts We moved every mountain we touched And we danced in the light of the stars I know nothing beautiful lasts But when I get to heaven I'll ask To go back to when we were in love… ********** The Author’s Completed Work: Book 1: CEO’s Contract Obsession - Contemporary Romance (CEO/Sweet Love), 2023 Book 2: The Royal Mark - Fantasy Romance (Werewolf/Fated Mates), 2023
