Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change. Although, that change is not always a good thing. Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes. To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force. This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar. —- “We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft. --- Cover illustration done by @i_evuuu/Everest

Riven Cross, a 22-year-old martial arts and kendo prodigy, had one dream: to become the greatest swordsman in modern history. Kind, goofy, sharp-witted, and driven by heart and strength, Riven lived by the sword—and died by it. After winning the national kendo tournament, he died a hero saving a couple from a robbery. But death wasn't the end. He awakens in a strange, magical world as Victor Drake, a 16-year-old blind boy cared for by his loving older sister. When a mysterious screen appears declaring his class as Blind Swordsman, he knows: his journey isn't over. His dream lives on. With no sight but unparalleled perception, Victor sets out to become the greatest swordsman this new world has ever known. From humble beginnings to epic adventures, he joins an adventurer’s guild, explores dangerous dungeons, and faces down monsters, corrupt nobles, ancient evils, twisted cults, and even gods themselves. Victor isn't a chosen hero—he follows no prophecy. He lives and fights by his own code. Fierce, charming, mischievous, and a little reckless, he’s a battle junkie who thrives on duels, danger, and the thrill of growth. Along the way, he gathers a diverse group of seven powerful and unique women from different races and walks of life—warriors, nobles, mages, even outcasts—each drawn to his strength, sincerity, and wild spirit. Through misunderstandings, comedy, political marriages, and heartfelt romance, Victor's legend begins to grow. He helps the helpless, defies kingdoms, makes enemies of the corrupt, and allies with gods—on his own terms. But through it all, he is never the hero. He is Victor Drake, the Blind Swordsman. And history will never forget his name.

"Knowledge is a curse," people often say. But in this world, knowledge is both a curse and a blessing. Humans have discovered how to access a realm beyond their minds—a metaphysical expanse called the "Ocean of Knowledge." Within it lies boundless wisdom: knowledge, insights, information, magical incantations, alchemical recipes, and artifacts waiting to be uncovered. Those who manage to tap into this wondrous realm are called "seekers." Kale has always been an odd one—an orphan taken in by a sect member, a disgrace who couldn’t even access the Ocean of Knowledge. That is, not until his fifteenth birthday. But Kale is no "ordinary" seeker.

Daemon Waters is the black-haired, bastard son of Jaime Lannister, and in a city full of intrigue and ambition, his existence is both a curse and a mark of distinction. Everyone in King's Landing knows who he is. His resemblance to the infamous Kingslayer is uncanny—only with dark hair. As the bastard child of the man who killed King Aerys II, Daemon is constantly ridiculed and ostracized, a living reminder of Jaime Lannister’s darker deeds. Living in the heart of the capital, Daemon faces the challenges of being born into a family that has left a bloody trail behind it. His very presence is a source of mockery, and he is often compared to his father, with some whispering that he is no more than a pale imitation of the true lion. Yet despite the scorn he endures, Daemon has inherited Jaime’s talent for swordsmanship, as well as others. Raised without the privileges of a true Lannister, Daemon must navigate the complex world of Westeros' elite. He longs for respect and recognition, but his father's reputation hovers over him like a shadow, ensuring that he is always seen as a mere reflection of a man he resents. The court at King’s Landing is filled with whispers of "The Black Lion," some calling him a bastard warrior with too much pride, others an embodiment of all the worst qualities of House Lannister. When the political tension in King's Landing reaches a boiling point, Daemon is thrust into the deadly games of the Lannisters, where his family’s enemies seek to use him as leverage, while his relatives either ignore or despise him. With his sword arm sharp and his ambition burning, Daemon must decide whether he will be bound to his father’s name or rise above it to make a name for himself—not just as a bastard, but as a force to be reckoned with. —————————————————————— My first book as it's my first time writing so take it easy on me fr ^~^ Disclaimer: I don't own Game Of Thrones only the MC!!!!

Especially when your entire race has been enslaved by Frieza, an especially genocidal alien that commits war crimes to pass time. No one could say I didn't give it my best shot, though.
