When Empires Dream

What is Power ? Is it in control over others ? Is it the ability to protect anyone? What is good ? What is evil? Are morals even true? Politics or Masks !? Is MC a Nihilist or Machiavillian Prince ? Or he is the Serpent Prince!? What happened to him in the past ? How rulers could rule vast empires without nukes or advance forces ? Is Romance even real or just a fantasy? Coin of necessity — The necessary evil and the Necessary good ! Entering the world "the Blessing of Sol ". This isn't about Lucien alone — it's about everything, it's about philosophy, power , morals and all . ----- I'm not gonna add any R18 content which is irrelevant to the plot and theme . So those who want arousal can seek another cheap dopamine. MC isn't any loving or Good guy — don't think he will play the hero/Anti-hero . Same for those who think MC will stay cartoonishly the same over the whole story. Though this is more history than Story , where you'll feel lived in . Here characters are more than props— living Philosophy, sacred agency and outcomes. Even I might not even predict until the very end !;⁠) Another point — English is not my main language and I had used AI in grammar check and confirmation of Prose . But at the end Idea, story and Novel is mine...... ------- Author's Note : It's my third try and I'll try that I won't repeat same mistake .:⁠-⁠( Chapters: 5-7/week(except when stuff happens or I'll be ill) Your support is Key ! Does anyone have an idea about the story !? "When Empires Dream" is planned to be over ~600 chapters..... ---- A morally gray epic of political intrigue, dark seduction, and the brutal cost of ambition. Perfect for readers who crave the sharp wit of 'Game of Thrones', the strategic complexity of 'Red Rising', and dark romance that cuts as deep as it burns. "CONTENT WARNING: Contains mature sexual content, manipulation, morally ambiguous characters, and dark themes. Not suitable for readers under 18."

Brimful Depravation

Check VICIOUS ALLURE is my Newest work. Front Page is "NAÍNDRA NUXINUS". (Original Cover Again!) "The world of Leathemnur is dangerous, yet, there is beauty in the chaos if you learn how to appreciate it". That is what Khallyon Cravemeneer always thought, until he learned how easy he could lose everything he had acquired across most of his life. What can a Mortal do in the face of actual absolute power?. What can anyone do to prevail before Time? Nothing. That is the cruel, raw reality. And as most people, Khallyon was oblivious of events occurring literally before his eyes. This went on, until he accidentally started to uncover the truth. Believing he had acquired a way to protect what matters the most, Memories, which is what makes everyone the person they become. Unbeknown to Khallyon, he was delving deeper into despair, rather than going out of it. NO CHEATS NO PLOT ARMOR NO VANILLA EASY LIFE DON'T GET FOOLED BY THE START OR THE SLOW PROGRESS READ UNTIL CHAPTER 51 A FAIR SHARE OF: ACTION BEAUTIES MYSTERIES A WHOLE LOT OF: SMUT BONDING INDECENCY COMMENT FOR: KINKS DOUBTS SUGGESTIONS Additional Information: I would publish TWO Chapters a Day. English is not my first language, that is why, any mistake I made across the story, feel free to point it out for me to correct it as soon as possible. (This is the old synopsis Read it if you want to know more about the general context) The "Imperishable", Entities Above Everything Else, understood this undeniable truth eons ago, gifting to the Mortals a few tools to overcome the challenges across their lives. With this, amusing their own boring existences, looking with enthusiasm what new story could unfold, or if the same mistakes would be done once again but by a different person. The First Gift, is "Shards", called "Cards" by some, this otorgue instant rewards when you exchange them in an "Imperishable Monolith". The Second Gift, is the mentioned structure, capable of craft almost anything if you have the recipe, blueprint and the required materials and ingredients, a true aberration depending on who you ask. The Third Gift, is the "Perennence", with a 100 you won't Die if you are slain, you simply would "Respawn" in a "Memory Hall", making you partially Immortal, because as long as you have 1 of Perennence, you wouldn't be really dead, and someone else can "Revive" you by providing the missing resource. However, this comes with a drawback, you become a "Servant" of the person or thing that save your life, at least until you repay the Perennence plus an Interest of 50%. The Fourth Gift, is "The Memory Hall", unfortunately, they had an evil twin, "The Howling Wall", which are created in places that had seen too many "Take Downs" in a short span of time; Differently to the prodigal twin, you must have a minimum of 25 Perennence to be Respawned, otherwise, at best, you become an Immaterial entity, similar to a ghost, if not, a mindless beast or a simple Drone for a Hive Mind is not far fetched. Lastly, The Fifth Gift, is divided in three concepts, "Repercussion", "Traits" and "Work", being the last, one of the most unfair of all the Gifts, as you can't change your Work under any circumstances, which applies even for "The Imperishable". But the Gifts don't come for free, as they attract a series of weird creatures from unknown Invasive Territories, sprouting the so called "Graveyards", "Factories", "Hives", "Nests", "Lairs", "Crops" and "Farms" across the entire world of "Leathemnur".
