dynasty

Di Benua Ruyin, lima Kekaisaran raksasa saling berdiri seperti pilar dunia, namun kedamaian di antara mereka bertahan hanya karena satu tempat: Balai Pagoda Roh, pusat diplomasi, perdagangan, dan hukum internasional tempat semua Kekaisaran wajib tunduk pada aturan bersama. Balai Pagoda Roh dipimpin oleh seorang wanita misterius, Wa’imeng’er, tokoh yang dianggap sebagai penjaga kestabilan benua. Tidak ada yang mengetahui masa lalunya, usianya, atau kekuatan sejatinya—yang jelas, selama ia duduk di puncak pagoda, tidak ada Kekaisaran yang berani memulai perang. Namun ketenangan panjang itu retak ketika Kekaisaran Tianlong jatuh ke tangan Kaisar baru: Xuyu Wansyi, penguasa kejam yang memerintahkan penarikan pajak besar saat rakyat terpuruk oleh bencana. Penolakan rakyat pada malam itu berakhir menjadi tragedi pembantaian yang mengguncang seluruh benua. Sementara dunia bergejolak, di sebuah desa kecil yang jauh dari hiruk pikuk kekuasaan, seorang anak laki-laki bernama Wu Yan tumbuh tanpa mengetahui siapa dirinya sebenarnya. Ia dibesarkan oleh seorang pria asing yang suatu hari menghilang, meninggalkan satu pesan: “Jika kau ingin mengetahui siapa orang tuamu… jadilah kuat. Kuat hingga dunia memandangmu.” Pesan itu menjadi awal perjalanan Wu Yan menjelajahi dunia yang tak pernah ia kenal—dunia penuh Kekaisaran serakah, sekte kuno, monster roh raksasa, dan kekuatan tersembunyi yang bangkit dari zaman purba. Dalam perjalanannya ia bertemu seorang gadis ceria yang menyembunyikan identitasnya sebagai putri dari salah satu Kekaisaran besar. Gadis itu menjadi cahaya dalam langkah Wu Yan, tanpa ia tahu bahwa takdir mereka akan diuji dengan cara yang tak terduga. Saat Balai Pagoda Roh terguncang, Kekaisaran saling mengincar, dan sembilan monster roh kuno mulai bergeser dari tidurnya, Wu Yan berdiri di tengah pusaran sejarah—membawa rahasia besar yang bahkan ia sendiri belum menyadarinya. Di dunia yang menuju kehancuran, hanya mereka yang memiliki tekad dan kekuatanlah yang mampu menentukan masa depan Benua Ruyin.

In the flourishing yet perilous Northern Liang Empire, masks are safer than faces. Murong Chen, the emperor's ninth son and King of Jing'an, lives like a winter peak-still, distant, and untouchable. He skips court, ignores academy rules, and collects titles and rewards without asking. To the people he is the Cold Prince; to ministers, the devil's incarnation; to siblings, a spoiled brat. Yet behind his calmness lies a secret poison that freezes his blood each month-Black Lotus Frost, an incurable toxin born before his first breath. The emperor shields him, the empress mourns him in silence, and the crown prince-his closest brother-protects his secret from the empire's eyes. Is Murong Chen a pampered son, a troublemaker, or a storm in disguise? In a palace where truth is dangerous, the only one who knows the answer is the prince himself.

Havenscove was meant to be ordinary. A windswept coastal town where grief could fade with the tide, where Ava Morgan could pretend she was nothing more than a healer and mother, not the last descendant of a bloodline bound to an ancient curse. Her shop, Haven’s Nook, smells of salt, rosemary, and secrets but the peace she built there is starting to crack. Something is stirring beneath the waves. Men wash ashore with black veins crawling under their skin, and when Ava lays her hands on them, the darkness obeys her touch. It answers her. It remembers her. Across the Veil - the shimmering boundary that divides the human world from the fading Shadow Kingdom, a dying King sends for his son. Casimir Levi Kingston, the Alpha Prince, has spent years in exile, drowning his rage in tavern smoke and silence. But when the Veil begins to bleed, duty drags him home… to the very town where fate waits in human form. And somewhere between their worlds, a third power wakes. Elijah Varyn, the Shadowborn Prince, once sealed inside the Veil itself, has begun to remember his name. His heart beats with the same magic that Ava carries in her blood, and when she heals, he feels it. Her power calls to him across realms, and every heartbeat weakens the cage that holds him. Ava doesn’t yet know that she was born to guard the Veil. Cas doesn’t yet understand that she is the key to saving it. And Elijah, forged from darkness and longing, will tear the world apart to claim her. When light touches shadow, desire becomes weapon, and love becomes war. The Veil is breaking, And if it falls, nothing will ever be the same again.

Khanh, an orphan boy, struggles daily to survive on Tier 0—the darkest bottom of a nation ruthlessly divided by an oppressive caste system. His fate takes a dramatic turn when a mysterious old man appears and reveals a horrifying truth: Khanh's true identity is the last descendant of the "Extinct Clan," a legendary bloodline that once possessed millennia-old power before being eradicated in a dark conspiracy. The entire world he knows is merely a veil hiding earth-shattering secrets. From this point, an arduous and bloody journey begins. Khanh must learn to conceal his true identity to survive amidst enemy encirclement, all while secretly pursuing two great goals: protecting innocent commoners from lurking dangers and completely dismantling the unjust tiered system deeply rooted in the nation. To achieve this, he must not only fight using the power of Gods, Demons, Spirits, and Beasts—entities summoned through contracts—but also enter a far more complex and dangerous battlefield: the game of power. Khanh must wield, manipulate, and reshape the realms of economics, politics, and media. Every move on these fronts serves the ultimate purpose of controlling and harnessing the two most primal forces of all: belief (faith) and fear.
