ANCHOR OF HEARTS

“It seems you owe me a favor for reuniting you and your father,” Zane said in his usual calm, steely voice. Selina slowly drifted her attention from the scenery and stared at him in disbelief. “How did you know I was referring to my father?” she asked, a hint of surprise simmering beneath her voice. “I see,” Zane muttered, his glacial eyes fixed on her bewildered gaze. “Do you truly believe if the world doesn’t recognize you as Hudson’s daughter, you can escape the doom that comes with his blood?” His voice pulsed with deep-seated grudges. Selina moved her eyes sideways in shock and bewilderment about what he meant. "I'm not hiding being my father's daughter. I'm only forbidden to mention my connections with him." Selina's bewildered gaze couldn’t hold his terrifying eyes for even a second, flickering instead to the corner of the room. “I’m not hiding being my father’s daughter. I’m only forbidden to speak of my ties with him.” Zane let out a disdainful snort, taking a predatory step closer as she instinctively retreated. "It's intriguing and hellish to have Hudson's daughter tonight to taste my retribution," he whispered. His calmness had faded into a haunting aura, leaving the air eerily thick as Selina gulped down dry. Her heart couldn't help but drum against her ribcage, the sound rising to her ears at his sinister words. “What…retribution…are you talking about?" Selina stammered, still retreating with Zane catching up with her pace. With his lips curved in a mild sneer, Zane uttered, "You don’t understand how desperate I’ve been, waiting for this day to watch you tortured, crying and begging for your peace relentlessly." "But I haven't wronged you either for me to be tortured by you." She attempted to sound confident in an unsettling atmosphere and only prayed he wouldn't hurt her. “As long as your father wronged me, so did you," Zane declared, his voice low and resentful. "And believe me, his retribution will hurt, far more than you think.” *** As the outcast daughter of the Everett family, Selina lives an ordinary life while fighting to rebuild herself into a prestigious figure—one whose name will echo through the world for decades to come. Just like every girl who dreams of being loved and cherished by the man she adores, Selina longs for a romance that feels like magic, with the very man she’s been secretly crushing on for three unforgettable years. But her quiet yearning shatters the moment that very man, Zane, returns not with affection, but with a ruthless vendetta against her and her family. His vengeance costs her everything—her dreams, her future, and nearly her life. Caught in the storm of his revenge and the cold rejection of those she once called family, Selina finds herself heartbroken and isolated. Then, fate plays its usual teasing card between Selina and Zane, as the unforgettable night they share at his welcome banquet yields an outcome neither of them expects. When Selina discovers she is pregnant with her enemy’s child, she refuses to remain ensnared in his ruthless, consuming revenge and leaves broken in the end. With nothing left but her resolve, she strikes a desperate deal: she will carry their child, in exchange for something momentarily precious to him.

The King's Gambit: The Bastard Son Returns

In a kingdom where the crown is not passed down by blood, even a prince must earn it—and even a peasant can claim it. Keiser was a knight—one of the first commoners ever to reach the final trial of the King’s Gambit, a brutal series of trial devised by the king himself to determine his successor. Born nobles trained their entire lives for this ruthless competition, yet Keiser, armed only with grit, loyalty, and unyielding strength, defied all expectations. At his side stood Prince Gideon Aury Valemont, the king’s fourth son, who appeared to have renounced his claim in favor of supporting Keiser. For every wound Keiser sustained, Gideon offered strategy. For every shadow that stalked him, Gideon provided light. Or so Keiser believed. At the final trial—the test of trust—the devastating truth was revealed. Keiser had been a mere pawn. Gideon had used him as a shield, a decoy to draw out assassins and political threats, while secretly weaving his own path to the throne. The final trial demanded that a candidate’s chosen ally make the ultimate sacrifice—or betray them and seize the crown. Gideon chose the crown. Kneeling—bloodied, broken, impaled by the very sword that was once his salvation—the dragon he had spared in his youth—Keiser remained upright only by the steel buried in his chest. Smoke still curled from his seared flesh, sigils burned into his skin by the hands of those he once called allies. And as the pain dulled into numb silence, he looked up... To behold Gideon, now crowned— a serpent draped in royal silk, enthroned by treachery and gilded lies. In his fading moments, Keiser realized the King’s Gambit was never about valor or justice. It was a game of shadows, a masquerade for nobles to wager on which of the king’s children could deceive best. But death was not the end. Keiser awakens in the body of Muzio Auro Valemont, the king’s exiled tenth son—a bastard long thought dead. It is one year before the Gambit begins. Three months before Muzio’s “death.” With a body too weak to wield a blade, magic too wild to control, and a name no one respects, Keiser must now train, scheme, and survive— not as the knight who flew too close to the sun, but as the bastard son of the king, destined to become the shadow of the moon. He no longer seeks the crown. He seeks to destroy all who dare to wear it.

Return of the General's Daughter

This is the story of Lara, a young woman from modern times, raised with one purpose: to exact revenge on the family of the general who destroyed her own. But fate had other plans. On her way to carry out her mission of vengeance, a twist in the plan led to disaster. Lara was struck by a military truck escorting the very general she intended to assassinate. When she awoke, she found herself in an entirely different world—one where her identity and purpose were starkly different from the life she had known and how she had been molded to be. Abducted by human traffickers, she outsmarted them and escaped. Then, she encountered a mysterious martial arts master whose ancient skills far surpassed her own. For two years, she trained with him in the remote mountains.  One fateful day, while staying deep in the jungle of Mount Ourea, Lara stumbled upon the Prince of Northem, disguised as an ordinary commander. He was gravely injured while pursuing a notorious group of bandits. Lara saved him and found herself entangled in the war that raged for two years. Lara, disguised as a soldier, volunteered to deliver a very important message to the generals of the Northem army, embroiled in a fierce battle against the bandits, the rebels, and soldiers of Estalis in the Alta-Sierra mountain range. Amid the chaos, Lara was swept onto the battlefield. During the battle, fate played another cruel hand. Lara came face to face with General Odin and his sons—only to discover that General Odin was the spitting image of the general she had been trained to assassinate. Could the man from her world be a descendant of this brave general? Torn between her mission and her newfound reality, Lara faced an impossible question: How could she kill her biological father? Her internal conflict deepened when she uncovered an elaborate plot to frame General Odin and his sons as traitors. The true culprits? His subordinates and trusted allies. In an ironic twist of fate, Lara found herself becoming the 'protector' of the family that, in modern times, she was supposed to ruin. After the war, Lara returned as a hero, ready to reveal her identity to General Odin, but she learned of another betrayal. Her cousin, Mira—the orchestrator of her abduction—had taken over her identity. Mira lived in her home under the guise of comforting Lara's grief-stricken mother because of the death of her only daughter. Not only that, she also did a lot of scheming and eventually claimed Lara's betrothal to Prince Alaric. With her identity stolen and her mission turned upside down, Lara faced a new challenge: reclaiming her life and honor and protecting her new family.
