The trinity of Death: The Swordsman of Rolling Heads.

The Trinity of Death: The Swordsman of Rolling Heads—by Jhunzkie Rakabuba. Ayronee died by his own choice — a rooftop, a fall, a desperate bid for silence after years of mockery ground him to nothing. Death did not deliver peace. An angel delivered an ultimatum instead: live again, or burn forever. He chose life not because he wanted it, but because the alternative was worse. Reborn as Hexia in a medieval fantasy world, gifted with power he never asked for, and bound by one condition that cannot be broken — he cannot die by his own hand. Ever. Eighteen years of training. Three years of emptiness. A legend built entirely in blood. By eighteen, Hexia is the Swordsman of Rolling Heads — a protector whose signature technique, the Guillotine, is a perfectly horizontal strike that ends threats with surgical finality. Crimson-eyed and emotionally hollow, he kills fifty bandits in five minutes and walks away feeling nothing. He is not living. He is enduring — waiting for a death that will never come, having reduced his entire world to one pursuit: peace at any cost. Then Sirenia arrives, and refuses to look away. Silver-haired, stubborn, and perceptive in the way only the fearless can be, Sirenia sees past the blade and the emptiness to the man being slowly destroyed beneath both. Hexia saves her from an ambush. He heals her. Neither is prepared for what that exchange costs them. Over six months, patient and persistent, she begins dismantling what he spent years constructing — not through force, but through sheer presence. Slowly, painfully, Hexia begins to understand that survival and living are not the same thing. Then the past returns, and shatters everything. Lhoralaine — the childhood love Hexia buried in silence — reappears alongside Fred, the man who took her, who has spent years wearing friendship like a mask over something far colder. One confrontation in a tavern. One rolling head. And the world learns what happens when the Swordsman's carefully maintained restraint finally breaks. What follows is larger than murder. Fred's death was not merely a killing — it was a key. Ancient seals crack open. Six god-like entities called Ancients stir from imprisonment beneath the world. Angels and demons descend to deliver a verdict no one in that tavern was prepared for: Hexia did not commit a crime. He triggered a countdown. In six years, Ignarok — the Eternal Flame — rises to reduce continents to ash. Every six years after, another Ancient wakes. If all six are freed, the Primal Ancient returns, and existence ends without ceremony. Six marks. Six heroes. Six years. A divine hexagram burns into Hexia's palm. Five others bear the same mark scattered across four continents — each wielding an element, each carrying damage the world has not yet seen. Hexia, Sirenia, and Lhoralaine must find them, from Nerissa the void-wielding dwarven princess to strangers whose names and wounds remain unknown, and forge something resembling an army from people who barely know how to survive themselves. This is not a story about heroes who rose to the occasion. It is about a man who wanted to die being forced to save everyone. About two women fighting for the heart of someone who has forgotten it exists. About whether people shattered at the foundations can hold the weight of the world — or whether the weight simply finishes what the breaking began. The Ancients are waking. The mark burns. The clock has started. And Hexia — who asked only for silence — must now decide whether existence, for all its agony, is worth the fight.

Book 1 of Rebirth of the Technomage Saga: Earth’s Awakening

Stolen at birth and crushed beneath her step-family's cruelty, Raven awakens on her seventeenth birthday to memories spanning ninety-nine lifetimes—and this time, she plans to change everything. Once called Mara Brenner, a forgotten girl hidden in a servant's robes, she now remembers every betrayal, every death, every moment of suffering across nearly a century of lives. In each existence, she endured enslavement, loss, and the tragic death of her child. But death was never her ending—it was her education. Blessed with a rare tri-bloodline combining Dragon strength, Lín healing, and Zhào wisdom, Raven carries within her soul-space ten mystical Blood Essence Beads. Each bead holds the power to awaken a fragment of her divine body, rebuilding her from bone to spirit while granting mastery over lost technomagic arts: alchemy, artifact forging, runes, and the fusion of magic with cutting-edge science. Yet each awakening will test her mind, heart, and will to their very limits. Around her looms an empire ruled by the ruthless Eight Great Families, where noble bloodlines battle for supremacy in a brutal 100-Year Tournament. Hidden beneath them lurk the secret cultivation clans—ancient powers manipulating bloodlines and history itself. Her stepsister, Amara, pampered and poisonous, conspires to steal both her name and destiny, guided by a devourer seed that whispers corruption into willing ears. What Raven doesn't yet know will shake the foundations of reality: she is a Pillar Soul—one of the fundamental anchors holding Ascara's existence together. If she falls to darkness, the entire plane collapses into the void. To protect her world, she must locate and awaken the other Pillar Souls scattered across the world: a dying child, a broken soldier, a fallen saint, a betrayed lover, and others—each a fragment of Ascara's strength, each teetering on the edge of corruption. Time is running short. The Great Shift approaches in five years—when spiritual energy will surge back into a world that has forgotten magic. As technology begins to fail and ancient powers stir, Raven must navigate step-family betrayal, aristocratic oppression, and imperial conspiracies while a darker truth emerges: the Devourers, cosmic parasites born from primordial hunger, seek to twist her suffering into corruption and drag Ascara into eternal darkness. Standing between her and salvation are false allies and tragic enemies like Kael Xuán—heir to the ruling family and her betrayer across multiple lifetimes—while the shadowy SIS organization sacrifices innocents in the name of maintaining "order." Only one figure recognizes her true nature: the exiled Keeper of the Accord, an immortal guardian bound by cosmic law to protect Ascara's souls. In him, Raven may find not only a reluctant ally but an echo of her grandparents' forbidden love—proof that loyalty and sacrifice can triumph against the tide of ambition and despair. In a fractured empire where ancient cultivation lies broken, magic is dismissed as myth, and technology serves as the ultimate weapon, one forgotten girl will rise to reshape the fate of worlds. But first, she must survive becoming the most dangerous thing in existence: herself. ◊ ◊ ◊ Not suitable for readers under 18 or those sensitive to intense emotional/violent content.
