The Legacy He Hid

Alaric Vane lives a life of quiet invisibility—working a humble job, living in the shadows of the powerful Marrow Family, and enduring the scorn of those who see him as nothing more than a mistake. To the world, he is a nobody. To the Marrows, he is an embarrassment—a man married into their prestigious bloodline under the mysterious wishes of their late patriarch. Only Celeste Marrow, his proud and skeptical wife, sees glimmers of the truth buried beneath his silence. Slowly, through loyalty, patience, and unshakable devotion, Alaric begins to earn her trust. But what no one knows—not even Celeste—is that Alaric is far more than the quiet man they belittle. He is the last surviving heir to a bloodline long thought extinct—a family sworn to guard ancient secrets hidden beneath the modern world. When old loyalties awaken and buried enemies stir, Alaric is forced to step out of the shadows. Armed with intelligence, unbreakable will, growing supernatural strength, and a network of powerful allies he subdues and earns along the way, Alaric begins to reclaim what was stolen from his family. But power attracts danger. Rivals, traitors, and ancient forces emerge, threatening not only Alaric’s legacy but the woman he has sworn to protect. And when lines are crossed, the man they thought they could ignore will become the man they can no longer escape. Beneath the quiet… Behind the scorn… A legacy is rising.

In A Fantasy World I Can Absorbs Abilities

A decorated Air Force pilot, 34 years old, meets an untimely demise—only to awaken in a war-torn fantasy medieval world. Now inhabiting the body of Mechal, the second son of a baron, he finds himself recovering from a near-fatal injury orchestrated by his own elder brother. But while the old Mechal might have been consumed by reckless fury, the new Mechal is different—calculating, patient, and ready to play the long game. When a rebellion unexpectedly shakes the kingdom, Mechal seizes the opportunity to carve his place in history. With a sharp mind, battlefield tactics, and an understanding of human nature, he navigates the treacherous world of nobility, rising from an overlooked second son to a powerful force. Through cunning strategy and ruthless ambition, he secures victories, earns a title, and claims land of his own—laying the foundation for a rule unlike any other. But the world of nobility is a den of vipers. Political intrigue, backstabbing aristocrats, kingdom-wide conflicts, and the ever-present shadow of war loom over him. As he builds his domain, he must outmaneuver rivals, forge alliances, and solidify his power—because in this world, only the strong survive. Inspired by the noble struggles of the Holy Roman Empire, this story weaves war, politics, trade, and ambition into a gripping tale of power and strategy. Watch as an upstart reshapes the fate of a kingdom, one calculated move at a time.
