Scars in the Mirror

Ayoola_Assurance
Ezinne has known pain longer than she’s known peace. Raised in a home where love was scarce and survival was a daily battle, she learned early how to hide her scars—especially the ones no one could see. A betrayal in her youth leaves her with a son and a shattered heart. Years later, trapped in a toxic marriage and haunted by memories that won’t fade, she finds herself at the edge of breaking… until an unexpected encounter lights something in her she thought was long dead: hope. What follows is a journey through darkness and light, secrets and revelations, love and vengeance. Just when she begins to rebuild, ghosts from her past return—some seeking redemption, others with motives far more dangerous. Her family holds truths that could change everything. A man she once trusted resurfaces with a claim that could tear her world apart. And through it all, Ezinne must decide who she is, what she’s willing to fight for, and what must be left behind. This is not just a story of survival. It’s a story of awakening, of reclaiming power, and of a love so unshakable it defies even the deepest wounds.

MAGICAPITIA

What if money was power? What if capital was magical? What if income was cultivation? What if a young man decided to destroy this unjust world of inequality and build a better one? That was exactly what Cæ (Cash) sought to do amid grief, anger, and hatred when he lost everything in an accident. Having come from nothing in the slums, his only goal had been to live a good life. By the age of twenty-two, he had finally managed to pull himself out of poverty with a decent job and romance. And then he lost everything he had ever built in an accident that left him in a coma for half a year. The world deprived him of the only person he had truly come to love. The predatory healthcare system burdened him with debt. The corrupt justice system deprived him of justice. The financial system robbed him of everything he owned. For the second time in his life, Cæ had been left with nothing. Well, almost nothing. The accident and the ensuing coma had altered his brain and mind, giving him an extraordinary talent for cultivating and mastering magic. He had been blessed with Acquired Savant Syndrome, a medical condition so rare that there were very few instances of it ever having occurred in history. It gave him endless potential and remarkable power. It gave him the power to destroy the world that he hated from the bottom of his heart. It gave him the power to destroy it and build a better one. And that was exactly what Cæ set out to do. --- This is my second novel, albeit my first time trying my hand at Royal Road. This story is centered around my desire to explore a story with a magical system centered around macroeconomics and politics. As the title suggests, this story will be centered around kingdom-building and progression fantasy. Romance is a coin flip. No smut. No harem. No systems. Hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it.
