The Last Touched: Rite of Queens

The Last Touched is a haunting fantasy of bloodlines, broken fate, and the perilous cost of power. Elsbeth MoonChild is the last of the touched—the final descendant of a cursed lineage bound to the flame. As Alpha of the shattered 12th pack, she bears the ruin left by her father’s crime: the murder of the queen. Branded by his betrayal, hunted by her former chosen mate, and driven into exile with the last of her people, Elsbeth has one desperate path forward—to survive, she must stake her claim in the Rite of Queens, an ancient trial that demands strength, sacrifice, and the will to rule. But the Rite does more than test her body and mind. It pulls her backward in time, submerging her into the forgotten life of her ancestor—the first queen. As memories bleed into dreams and dreams into waking, Elsbeth begins to unravel a long-buried truth: the flame in her blood is not just magic. It is a weapon. A curse. A gift once traded in blood and sacrifice to end an age of chaos. And she is not the only one who carries it. Julia, her estranged sister—exiled, fire-born, and half-mad with hunger—is no hybrid. She is the living echo of the power their bloodline tried to bury. Ruthless, charismatic, and driven by the belief that the throne was stolen from her, Julia is building a gospel of grievance and flame. Her army grows in the shadows, fed by secrets and stolen children. And with each ritual, the ancient seal weakens, waking something that was never meant to rise again. Torn between duty and desire, Elsbeth clings to the one thing that keeps her tethered—Fen, her true mate, a being older than he appears, hiding a divine truth of his own. Their bond runs deeper than fate, but it terrifies her. To surrender to it would mean choosing love over the kingdom. And if she falls too far, the flame inside her might burn her from within… just as it did her father. As old gods stir and the fire in her blood begins to answer the call of something watching from beneath the ice, Elsbeth must decide: will she become the queen her people need? Or the weapon her blood was meant to wield? AUTHOR'S NOTE: It's come to my attention that I accidentally set my privilege chapters to start too early, to make up for this (since I'm unable to change that) I've set up an 80% Privilege Chapter Discount launching May 2025 for all privilege tiers. I hope you still give my book a chance so that you can fall in love with the characters as much as I have while writing it.

Star Ascension : Imperium's Edge

Synopsis: In the vast, unforgiving expanse ruled by the ruthless Terran Imperium, humanity reigns supreme across galaxies through iron-fisted control and the power of Star Ascension – a cultivation system blending genetic enhancement and technology that allows individuals to challenge starships and ascend towards godhood. But even these 'True Gods' are mere ants compared to the ancient beings dwelling at cultivation's theoretical peak, beings whose distant power shapes the cosmos. Amidst this backdrop of cosmic might and brutal politics, Junior Lieutenant Valerius begins his career on Aethelburg VI, a forgotten fringe world. Born to privilege but starting at the lowest officer rank (M2-E), Valerius burns with cold, calculated ambition: not just to climb the ranks of the Imperium, but to seize control of it as a tool for his true goal – reaching the apex of Star Ascension and achieving ultimate domination over all existence. When a sudden pirate attack devastates his remote outpost and kills the commanding officer, Valerius ruthlessly seizes command, making brutal choices that prioritize his path forward over the lives of others. This marks the first step on a bloody journey through pirate skirmishes, clashes with powerful alien empires potentially stronger than the Imperium itself, and the treacherous currents of internal Imperial politics. Each battle won, each rival crushed, each necessary sacrifice made fuels his ascent in both military rank and personal power through the stages of Star Ascension. But as Valerius's strength grows, so do the enemies arrayed against him, and the existential questions posed by the silent, unfathomable powers of the universe loom ever larger. Can one man dominate a cosmos filled with such overwhelming power, or will his ruthless climb consume him and the Imperium he seeks to master? Star Ascension: Imperium's Edge begins the epic, multi-episode saga of a man willing to burn galaxies for ultimate power

Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday

Xiang Yu was perfectly content with his mediocre life on Earth—average job, average apartment, average everything. That is, until he woke up in the legendary World of Cultivation, where martial artists fly through the skies and immortals battle over ancient treasures. There's just one problem: Xiang Yu wants absolutely NONE of that action. Armed with only his wits and a peculiar system that doubles his exp every 24 hours, Xiang Yu has one goal: become powerful enough to live in peace without getting involved in those ridiculous "protagonist" situations. No ancient tombs. No tournament arcs. And for heaven's sake, stay FAR away from anyone named Chen Mo, Lin Feng, or Li Yao—those names practically scream "main character who will drag me into deadly situations!" Starting with strength stats so pathetic he can barely lift a cultivation manual, Xiang Yu must somehow survive long enough for his exponential growth to matter. After all, doubling zero cultivation talent still equals zero... at first. Follow Xiang Yu on his hilarious journey from zero to hero as he desperately tries to stay invisible while his power skyrockets beyond control! Watch as he dodges cultivation tournaments, avoids suspicious elders bearing gifts, and runs the other way whenever someone mentions "ancient inheritance" or "chosen one." Join the adventure of the most reluctant cultivator in history whose only wish is peace and quiet, but whose exponential growth makes him the most terrifying force this cultivation world has ever seen! ————— Discord: https://discord.gg/UA679N6znA Wiki: https://infinite-awakening-my-exp-doubles-everyday.fandom.com/ Update = 2 Chapters Daily

HEAVEN AUCTIONEER MONARCH OF MILLION REALMS

SPOILER ALERT Li Xuan, a cunning and cold-hearted auctioneer, has set his sights on dominating not just the Lower Realms, but the entire universe. Gifted with an extraordinary mind technique—the Voidheart Enlightenment Sutra—he can manipulate fate itself, solidifying his power and wealth with each calculated move. His ascent is driven by the accumulation of treasures, knowledge, and influence, but the true cost of his rise is the ruthless destruction of anyone standing in his path. In a world where strength dictates survival, Li Xuan’s ambitions extend far beyond the mere collection of riches. As he navigates the complex web of power, betrayal, and politics, he cultivates not only his own strength but manipulates the destinies of those around him. With his auction house, the Karmic Refinement Pavilion, at the center of his operations, Li Xuan draws power from the deals he brokers, collecting ancient relics and arcane treasures while quietly bending fate to his advantage. As Li Xuan gains control over the Lower Realms, and secures his place as an influential player in the Upper Realms, his plans take an even darker turn. Using his forbidden technique, he forces himself to endure unimaginable pain, ascending to greater heights while exploring the depths of karma and fate. With a vast network of loyal generals and elites under his command, he rises to orchestrate a cosmic-scale auction—the Celestial Auction, where immortals, gods, and powers beyond mortal understanding gather to trade life-altering artifacts and secrets. However, as his power grows, so does the price of his ambition. Betrayals from former allies, doubts within his ranks, and forces beyond his control threaten to destabilize his meticulously crafted empire. In the shadows, ancient immortal forces begin to stir, and Li Xuan must decide whether he will solidify his rule or face the collapse of everything he has built. Heaven Auctioneer: Monarchs of the Million Realm is a dark fantasy journey of manipulation, power, and the relentless pursuit of dominance. With a heart as cold as his ambition, Li Xuan will stop at nothing to secure his place as the supreme ruler of the realms. But as he walks the razor's edge between enlightenment and madness, he must confront the true cost of manipulating fate itself.

Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

I died as a hardcore gamer, only to open my eyes in a cultivation fantasy I once played. Not as the hero. Not even as a helpful mentor. or a big villian... But as the cannon fodder destined to die before the first act even concludes. I recognize this world instantly—the sprawling mansions of nobility, the immortal sects hidden in misty mountains, the power hierarchy where cultivators stand above common folk. I've played through this story dozens of times, defeated every hidden boss, unlocked every secret ending. And now I'm trapped inside it, wearing the skin of the game's first villain. My position? The worthless young master of a prestigious family, universally despised yet secretly possessing a dormant bloodline that nobody in-game ever discovered because this character dies too quickly. But something is wrong. Characters are behaving differently than they did in the game. Events are unfolding in unexpected ways. The cold beauty who should immediately despise me seems strangely interested in my skills. The vixen villianess who orchestrated my demise now studies me with curiosity. Is my presence changing the storyline? Or was there always more to this world than what players could see through their screens? With each deviation from the script I memorized, my meta-knowledge becomes less reliable. Yet it remains my greatest weapon as I navigate political intrigue, forge unlikely alliances, and desperately work to awaken powers that were never meant to be unlocked by a character designed only to die. I refuse to be expendable. I reject the role assigned to me. In a world where destiny is supposedly predetermined, I will rewrite the algorithm itself—or break the entire system trying.
