Magic and Metals ( War of the Realms)

Synopsis A world once whole now lies shattered. Five realms—Earth, Seer, Sky, Dragon, and Shadow—were torn apart by an ancient catastrophe, scattering magic and prophecy across lands that no longer remember their shared origin. For centuries, the realms have existed in uneasy separation, each shaping its own destiny while old wounds remain buried. But the boundaries are weakening. Tremors ripple across worlds at the same moment. Dragons awaken with memories they should not have. Seers dream of futures that defy logic. A girl in the Earth Realm finds a fragment of sky-metal that hums with impossible life. Another in the Seer Realm dreams of a silver blade and a stranger in flames. Prophecy speaks of two souls—one of metal, one of sight—who will bridge the divide and reunite what was broken. Yet not all forces desire healing. A shadowed sovereign watches from the darkness between worlds, waiting for the moment when the realms grow weak enough to claim. Kaela, a warrior without magic but with unbreakable resolve, discovers that strength is more than power. Lyra, a Seer haunted by visions, learns that sight without action is emptiness. When their paths converge, they must decide whether unity is possible—or whether the world is destined to remain fractured forever. In a war between fate and choice, between past sins and future hope, the question remains: Can broken realms be healed… or will history repeat itself?

Rise of the Phoenix Princess

She was just a teenage girl—until the Divine Phoenix Flame awakened. Lyra lived an ordinary human life, unaware that she was the long-lost Phoenix Princess of Ignis— bearer of the Divine Phoenix Flame, the strongest power ever recorded in the Aetherion Galaxy. When the ancient world of Ignis fell to darkness, a newborn princess was torn from her burning home and cast into a fragile, unfamiliar planet to survive. Now, as Lyra’s dormant power awakens, so does a prophecy capable of reshaping existence itself. Uncontrollable flames. Ruthless enemies. A fate written before her birth. Hunted by ancient forces, feared across galaxies, and bound to a destiny older than the stars, Lyra is forced onto the brutal path of cultivation—where every breakthrough is earned through blood, loss, and fire. From deadly trials and forgotten ruins to galaxy-shaking wars, she must learn to command a flame capable of both creation and annihilation. But power always demands a price. As darkness spreads across the Aetherion Galaxy and even the heavens begin to move, Lyra must choose: Be consumed by her own fire… Or rise beyond all limits and become the legend the galaxy fears. For when a phoenix rises— even the heavens will burn. Read Ahead & Support the Story: Want more chapters and faster releases?

The side-Character's Gambit

Rias wakes up in pain—only to realize he is no longer in his own world. He has transmigrated into The Ascension of the Third Born, the very novel he once wrote. Worse, he is not the hero, the villain, or even a rival worthy of attention. He is Rias von Leonhart: the duke’s illegitimate son, a fragile noble with low mana, no talent, and a fate so insignificant that his death barely earned a paragraph in the original story. Surrounded by prodigies within the fearsome Leonhart family, Rias is the weakest piece on the board. His siblings are monsters of sword and magic, his father is a legendary duke, and noble society has already decided his worth—or lack of it. In a world where strength defines survival, Rias possesses none of it. Except knowledge. He knows the future. He knows the wars, the betrayals, and the rise of the empire’s third prince—the true protagonist whose ascent will crush countless lives along the way. Rias also knows one crucial truth: chasing power head-on will only get him erased by the story itself. So he chooses a different path. Abandoning reckless ambition, Rias resolves to survive through foresight, restraint, and positioning. He will become useful without becoming threatening, present without standing in the spotlight. As the academy draws near and the plot begins to move, Rias must navigate deadly politics, monstrous talents, and a narrative that was never meant to spare him. This is not the tale of a chosen hero. It is the story of a forgotten side-character who knows the script—and intends to outlive it. So tell me— Are you ready to step into the abyss with the weakest piece on the board? [Note: This novel doesn’t have a golden finger or any kind of cheat system like my first work. The protagonist doesn’t get power handed to him—he has to grind for it, struggle through failures, and earn every bit of strength the hard way.]
