Ashes of Vengeance: The General Who Burned The World

M0GWEDH1
Ten years ago, Jara Kingdom’s recruits Haruki and Daikiro, feared street fighters, were brothers-in-arms, bound by a vow to live and die together. When Jara joined the other thirteen ruling kingdoms of the Sondra realm in a war against Craenia, a kingdom that mercilessly erased weaker nations, every able-bodied warrior joined in. However, on the last night of the great war, Haruki watched his brother disappear beneath fire and rubble at the hands of the Sondra alliance chief general, who had deemed them too dangerous together. Haruki survived, but only as a monster fueled by grief. Determined to avenge his brother’s death, Haruki rose through the ranks as a feared general, burning through the Sondra kingdoms he had once defended with his life. To him, they were an offering to his brother’s ghost, before he joined him. But Daikiro lived. — — — Handed over unconscious to the Craenia king by the Sondra alliance chief, Daikiro was subjected to intense torture and his mind broken. Remade into Craenia’s hidden weapon, he was only ever unleashed against their strongest enemies. As a reward, the Craenia king granted him one memory: the brother who abandoned and betrayed him for the rank of general. Fate brings them together on Haruki’s final battlefield. Haruki fights to erase the last army he believes caused his brother’s meaningless death. Daikiro fights to eliminate the man he was told abandoned him for rank. Until memory fragments surface through the clash of steel and the cruel truth bleeds through the lies, leaving the brothers with an unspoken choice: Salvation or doom.

Hurt Me Like You Mean It [BL]

[Updates resume March. Due to exams] [This book contains, explicit and mature scenes—no r*pe. Not advised for viewers under 18, protect thy purity] Lance Dixon is drowning in a debt that isn’t his. His parents’ financial mistakes have fallen entirely onto him, and his life has collapsed into a constant struggle to stay afloat. He has never denied what he is. Lance is a masochist, and most people he’s dated couldn’t handle that truth. Every relationship ended the same way, leaving him with needs no one was willing to meet. Everything shifts on a night he drinks too much and ends up venting to a stranger. In a mix of frustration and alcohol, Lance jokes that he’d sell himself to anyone willing to pay off his debt. The stranger, Ansel Lowell, doesn’t brush it off. He asks how much. And when Lance tells him, Ansel offers a deal: three months living under his terms, in exchange for clearing the debt completely. The deal is straightforward and seems almost like relief. But as the days pass, the dynamic between them deepens in ways neither expected. What began as a simple exchange grows into a connection that is far more consuming, and far more dangerous, than either of them intended. [Excerpt] Lance meant to pull away when Ansel stepped closer, but his body didn’t move. Ansel’s hand hovered near his jaw, just close enough to make Lance’s breath catch. “Do you understand what you agreed to?” Ansel asked quietly. Lance swallowed. “You’re paying off my debt. I stay with you for three months. That’s it.” A hint of a smile tugged at Ansel’s mouth, which made him more dangerous because of it. “No, Lance. That’s the surface of it. I want you to hear the truth.” Lance’s pulse stumbled. Ansel leaned in just enough that Lance could feel the warmth of his breath. “I’m going to take up space in your life. I’m going to have you when I want you. I’m going to learn every weakness you try to hide, and I will use them. I will claim you, piece by piece, until you can’t tell where your choices end and mine begin.” Lance exhaled shakily. “Do you worst Mr. Lowell, I can handle it.”
