A chance encounter between Caligula and Lepidus, sparks an undeniable attraction, setting off a chain of events that will alter the course of their lives forever.... more>>

Years later, Caligula ascends to the throne as the youngest Emperor, becoming a tyrant feared and despised by all. His once-pure soul, twisted by power, has grown bitter and cruel. But Lepidus, the man who ignited his heart and helped shape his path, has returned—haunted by their shared past.

In a world where loyalty and honor are tested, can Lepidus heal the broken man Caligula has become? Or is their love, burning with forbidden desire, the catalyst for Caligula's inevitable destruction?

With every clash, their passion flares hotter, their desire undeniable, as they navigate the dangerous waters of love, betrayal, and power. Will their all-consuming love be their salvation—or their downfall?

In a land of emperors and conspiracies, where the price of passion is often death, one question remains: Can love survive in the shadows of empire? <<less

The Sword Saint, a man unparalleled in combat, embarks upon a quest that derails the entire world. He forges a bargain with a trio of ancient and evil hags to slay a dragon. In exchange, they promise him immortality. Unexpectedly, the hags upheld their end of the bargain.

But it came at a cost. His true name is now hated and cursed by all, spoken only with contempt. That’s without considering his own, more personal blight. Transformed into a goblin. Ill-fated to become the thing he most loathes. He has all of eternity to come to terms with his new form.

In the shadows of the Void Century, the coliseum stands as a brutal crucible, where men are forged into legends—or shattered and discarded.... more>>

Hector, a young slave torn from his home, is moulded into a gladiator through grueling trials of blood and sand. Guided by an ancient philosophy that teaches mastery of self and unlocks the latent power of Haki, he fights not only to break his chains but in defiance of those who would extinguish the light of a forgotten age.

When he is thrust into the Great Pirate Era, he becomes a living relic of a lost age—a torchbearer of truths hidden in darkness, his existence threatening the lies upon which the World Government's power is built.

Now, in a world long veiled in darkness, Hector must decide: will he protect the embers of the past, or wield their fire to ignite a rebellion that could reshape the future? <<less

Every societal structure has a hierarchy that determines the standings of its people. However, royal bloodlines are a thing of the past and no longer... more>> guarantee a person's wealth and prosperity. Tired of the countless wars that had stained the pages of history books from poor leadership and corruption, a monumental change occurred. It was the creation of The Agoge. The Agoge is a brutal system that determines the social standing of the children that participate in it. Every child in society is brought to The Agoge at the age of 6. There, they no longer belong to their parents but to the governing system. It is the most grueling system of government and some children die in the process. It is not a parent's responsibility to raise children for society, but The Agoge's responsibility to determine which children are not fit for it... and if they are resourceful enough, the ones who are. <<less

Thousands of violent criminals and monsters in a prison, but only one shard to make them invincible.... more>>

Roid is a limp gladiator who fought life and death battles in the pits for freedom. But when he at last pulled off a hundred-battle winning streak, instead of being freed like promised, he was thrown into Raventor.

Raventor was once a grand prison that chained and caged godly beings. But after the battle of the mighty beings for a shard, it became a ruin that bigwigs of Moors used to throw in the people they never wanted to see again.

Roid would do anything for freedom. Raventor, being a prison, would never let anybody escape.

There are monsters and mythical creatures here in the prison along with violent criminals with means far outstripped Roid. There are also legacies of the fallen gods here. Most of all, the shard is still here, waiting for the taking.

Join Roid in his swashbuckling adventure as he fights against all the odds for freedom. <<less

After failing to prevent a loved one's murder, Brett finds himself ripped from his old life and thrust into a strange world of convergent realities. With only the clothes on his back and a burning vengeance, he must learn to thrive in a place that most are trying their best to escape.

In exchange for a future favor, a desperate god grants Brett the power he needs to make his enemies pay. The multi-dimensional crime syndicate that incurred his wrath makes for slippery prey but that won’t deter him. As he hunts through this strange convergence of worlds, he finds allies and more danger than he could ever hope for.

He’ll need to gain enough power to slaughter his way through the shadowy cabal and overcome this garbage system. One thing is certain: he will catch up with his enemies, and they won’t stand a chance

This is a bit of a slow burn at the start, but picks up. I'm planning on writing this for a very long time and it could easily be 2000 chapters. <<less

[I was reborn as a dungeon-core and forgot what life was really about until I remembered that it was obviously about violence! (So I made a grand colosseum for the greatest champions of humanity to fight to the death in)]
__________________________
Being taken from another world, the soul named Munera finds itself reborn as the beating heart of a wild dungeon – an entity known as a Dungeon-Core. With nothing to do but watch humans fight against one another and against itself, confused about its new purpose in this other world and ‘body’ – that is actually a complicated network of underground tunnels and chambers rather than a simple construct of flesh and bone –... more>> Munera comes to the obvious conclusion that life is about nothing else other than gratuitous violence and the assertion of dominance over lesser beings!

Taking this to the next level, it sets out to find out everything about fighting, combat, and the ascension to power and purpose through raw strength, cunning tactics, and sly strategy by creating a grand arena, a colosseum. In this newly formed underground labyrinth, the blood-hungry entity imprisons countless humans, monsters, elves, and all manner of beings with the intent to make them fight against one another with sword and magic and in contests of cunning and wit in order to prove the validity of the pursuit of purpose through raw power of many shapes.

Will its confused quest and methods succeed in pressing out the distilled essence of life from the bones of its new gladiators through the filter of challenges and nightmares? Or will it lose control over its prisoners as they band together with one another, its own domain crumbling with this violence turning its way instead? Find out in the latest novel from trending fantasy and isekai author D.M. Rhodes!

This is a remake of my novel. This time, however, I decided to remove all cheats. Our protagonist is a normal resident of another world, without any cheat to aid him. He will need to use the natural weapons bestowed upon him to fight and survive.

Note: This novel is dark, and the Author is rather unstable, so expect character death, mental scarring, scarring in general, possible limb loss, and the main character dying and starting some sort of underworld arc.

The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again.... more>>

But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close?

The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace.

Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit?

Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra. <<less

Book 2 Back Cover Blurb:

Merlabria, the crown jewel of the Mercan League, it’s beauty and splendor unmatched upon Syroneika. However, not everything is as it seems, foul intentions are afoot, and the city hides many secrets. The two princes vie for dominance, accruing power and swaying the nobles. Yet the Archon refuses to name an heir inviting more chaos, for a pit of snakes has no shortage of vipers.

Trapped between competing interests the Scholar and his retinue remain wary, the trip has been filled with danger, and their enemies willing to kill. A private meeting with the Archon could resolve these concerns, yet the Archon has plans of his own, whether these plans coincide with that of House Amyntas remains to be seen. The Scholar will have to make many decisions affecting the lives of those around him, all the while training a fledgling Niko to better control his newfound abilities lest they threaten to consume his body.

Many things swirl within the web of conflict, with many shadowy forces moving in the peripheries. Yet a rapid return home to the safety of Temrenos may not be as safe as one might assume. Winter is upon the horizon and dark clouds form; this season promises to be more unforgiving than the last… and it will take all the wits the Scholar and those under his command have, to come out intact. For the Encroaching Roots of the wicked promise but two things, death, and destruction.
