Draconic King of Shadows

Asher Carter has spent his entire life hiding his true self. In Eldermire—a town ruled by the iron grip of the Council of Purity—being different is dangerous, and some kinds of love are a crime that can cost you everything. Orphaned young and raised under the council’s suffocating laws, Asher has learned that survival means keeping his head down. By day, he works as a waiter at The Gilded Spoon, an elite café where the town’s powerful gather. By night, he dreams of a life where he doesn’t have to pretend. Then there’s Malcolm Hayes—the mayor’s son. Wealthy, charming, and engaged to the daughter of a high-ranking council member, he is everything Asher can never have. To the world, Malcolm is the perfect heir to Eldermire’s legacy of purity. But beneath the polished facade, he's living a life that isn't truly his—while being irresistibly drawn to the quiet waiter he just can't stop thinking about. One moment, they were just two men living separate lives. The next, they are fugitives. Hunted by a town that sees their love as an abomination, Asher and Malcolm’s only hope is to escape beyond Eldermire’s borders—to a place where love isn’t punished. But running won’t be easy. In a world where their love is forbidden and betrayal is inevitable, the question isn’t just whether they can escape—but whether their love is strong enough to survive. --- Trigger Warning: This story explores dark and intense themes.

In a multiverse governed by a mysterious World Rank System, only the strongest survive the shifting roads between realities. Worlds are tiered by danger and riches, and to traverse them, one must drive, fight, and evolve—or be consumed by the system itself. Lian, an unpredictable protagonist with the rare Fate Diver evolution path, is marked by destiny to disrupt the threads of fate. His unique vehicle transformations and a broken economy-manipulating talent, Coin Multiplier, make him a wild card in a universe that punishes anomalies. Alongside him rides Jayce, a chaotic force of nature with a combat-modified Golden Ice Cream Truck and an implied talent that twists reality through comedic timing and absurd luck. His antics blur the lines between comedy and catastrophe. Together, they journey through increasingly deadly world tiers, unlocking powerful vehicles, upgrading their talents, and encountering enemies who obey—or break—the same rules they do. But as fate bends and coins multiply, the question arises: Are they rewriting the system, or are they exactly where the system wants them to be?
