The Aster Empire x The Cube

Ryuzaki_lo
What if you woke up to find yourself in the body of an emperor… ignored by everyone? An empire weighed down by debt, a currency on the verge of collapse, crumbling borders, and nobles waiting for the throne to fall like wolves waiting for a warm corpse. In this body now lives a young man who was nothing more than a student fascinated by history and numbers—before he was thrown into the life of “Leonardo Ray Clint,” the emperor who ended his life to escape this chaos. But death is no longer an option. Every wrong decision ignites a rebellion. Every reform awakens a conspiracy. From within and beyond the borders, slowly and ominously. As if politics alone were not enough… The signs begin to appear: a blood moon, a black winter, legends returning to life, and cults that believe the end of the world is near. If history has taught him anything, it is that empires do not die suddenly… They are killed, step by step. And the question is no longer: how will he rule? But: can he stop the collapse, or will he leave his name as the last line written in the empire’s history?

Null & Void: Journey to Defy the Creator

Dear Reader, Have you ever had thoughts that questioned the reality around you? What is my true purpose in life? Why doesn't anybody like me? What do others have that I don't; what is this hidden secret behind the feeling of happiness? "Null is he...," that voice, "... who defies the creator," it all started with that dying whisper. He who was once just another speck of the tiniest speck of the universe would have to become the strongest for the sake of his true purpose in life. His lover? Blazing ambition? Treasured new friends? Witness the lengths that Null had to go through to understand what it meant to accomplish one's dreams and triumph over those who sought to crush them. His journey to defy the creator will leave him beaten, battered, and bruised as he chases a lost flame across the cosmos in a bid to keep his lover's soul from dying out. Will he meet his end the same as his predecessor, or will he and his misfit band of allies defy the natural order of the universe as chaos reigns wherever they go? If you've found yourself on a boring rock, craving adventures in an infinitely expanding vast of nothingness, then you're in for the time of your life! Gods and Devils, Angels and Demons, Unicorns and Rainbows, Laughter and Crying, Life and Death, Winning and Losing— all of that and tons more await!!! I've said my piece, now it's time for you, The Reader, to enjoy my most prized creation. Yours Then, Now, and Forevermore, The True Creator

My Casino Thief

The Casino Thief Alex Cinder steals to survive — tips, secrets, and on one reckless night, ninety thousand dollars in casino tokens to save his sister's life. He never expects to get caught. He definitely never expects to get caught by the casino's owner. Lawrence Grey has a problem of his own: a family fortune tied to a marriage he has no intention of meaning, and parents who won't take "I'll find someone" for an answer much longer. When he realizes the nervous thief who robbed him blind is exactly the leverage he needs, he makes Alex an offer he can't refuse — four years of marriage, in exchange for the crime disappearing. It's supposed to be a transaction. A performance for Law's parents, an escape hatch for Alex's debt, nothing more. Neither of them counts on falling in love along the way. But happiness has a way of catching attention it shouldn't, and Alex's recovering sister — starved for years of the connection she watches her brother find so easily — starts wanting something that was never hers to take. As her fixation deepens into something far more dangerous than a crush, Alex and Law are forced to confront how much they're willing to risk to protect what they've built, and what it costs all of them when wanting the wrong thing for too long finally breaks someone wide open. A slow-burn marriage of convenience with real teeth — about choosing each other on purpose, the families we build instead of the ones we're given, and what it takes to come back from the people we almost become.
