Spirit & Steel: Rebirth of the Void Martial Clan

olaniyi_odukale
Executed in the prime of his life for crimes he never committed, Raqin Draven—a disgraced hacker and martial artist—awakens ten million years into a brutal future where Earth is a forgotten wasteland and humanity lives under the thumb of alien races and immortal sects. But he is not alone. Fused with the Soulforge Core—an ancient, sentient AI hidden deep within his dantian—Raqin inherits not only knowledge lost to time but the blueprint for a new path of cultivation: one that merges steel and spirit, data and qi, flesh and machine. Now secretly the richest man on the planet thanks to a hidden inheritance, Raqin begins gathering outcasts, criminals, and forgotten talents, establishing the foundation of what will become the most dangerous human clan in the universe. From a private island base and a mysterious interdimensional realm called the Universe Garden of Beginnings, he begins training his followers using ancient techniques fused with cybernetic innovation, evolving their very bloodlines and breaking the limits of cultivation. But his enemies are watching. The insectoid Xenomorphs whose eggs cannot hatch in his followers' bodies. The cunning Phalanx, who seek to dissect his bloodline. The corrupt Celestials, who alter human reproduction to maintain control. And the ruthless Devils, who covet his secrets and wish to enslave his mind. In a galaxy torn by war, betrayal, and godlike power, Raqin must rise—becoming myth, machine, and monster—and forge a clan that will shake the stars. Rebirth is only the beginning.

Villain Seduces to Rise in Status

After being enslaved by his own family for years, treated as utterly expendable, Cale Midgar finally caught his break when a fallen god offered him a contract and a Harem Bond System that would change everything. Years of servitude, humiliation, and restraint under his master's watchful eye... but now? Now it was his turn. With a Lust System that rewards him for every woman seduced, every noble daughter corrupted, and every cultivator's wife taken, Cale discovered the true path to power. Each woman conquered wasn't just pleasure—it was fuel. Their bloodlines, their talents, their very essence flowed into him, making him exponentially stronger with each conquest. The academy thought he was weak. The nobles thought he was expendable. The eastern sects thought the western continent would fall without resistance. They were all going to be very, very wrong. There wouldn't be a single lady of the academy—from maids to elite disciples—who wouldn't know his touch. Princesses would beg for his attention. Female swordmasters would spar with him just for a chance to be close. Even the cold, distant elves would find themselves drawn to his gravitational pull. His journey to absolute domination has only just begun, and immortals themselves will tremble beneath his power. [ WARNING: SEXUAL CONTENT AND LEMONS ] (BEAR WITH ME FOR THE FIRST 20 CHAPTERS PLEASE!

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

On hiatus for a week or two to prepare the final act!! --- Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! Character driven, before plot! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same. ──── ୨୧ ──── There are occasional illustrations littered throughout the novel drawn by me (slowly commissioning to get others done), usually found in the comments! !!CREDIT!! Cover Art by @Sayoto (VGen) Illustrations by me (@meowssey) and zaza (@zazhah) (Both commissioned artists are amazing to work with and I highly recommend their work!)
