Shadows in Paris

Rarus
Paris, 1937. A city cloaked in fog, secrets, and the scent of war. Émile Verhaeren, a disillusioned Belgian agent posing as a police inspector, is pulled into a deadly game when he's ordered to prevent the assassination of Kurt Reiner, a high-ranking German chancellor visiting France under complete secrecy. But Paris is teeming with shadows—spies from every side, femme fatales, corrupt diplomats, and ghosts from Émile’s past. As betrayal waits around every corner, Émile must navigate a labyrinth of lies, murders, and shifting alliances. The question isn’t just who wants Reiner dead— It’s who actually benefits if he lives. A noir thriller set against the backdrop of pre-war Europe, Shadows in Paris is a slow-burning tale of espionage, loyalty, and the cost of truth in a city where no one is ever truly innocent.

Dragon King: Throne of Demons and Gods

"The Demon Lords are bringers of destruction, and among them, I am the strongest." The Demon King has fallen, slain by the Hero in a battle that shook the heavens. After this, humanity knew a long era of peace and prosperity, with the hero now at the top of the world. Fifty years after the battle, the demon race is resurfacing, but now with the throne empty, they must fight for the emergence of the new Demon King. Meanwhile, the humans are preparing for the rise of the next hero who will oppose their archenemies. Born as a mere stable boy in a lower-class noble household, Bel has lived his life tending to the noble gardens, pruning roses for banquets he would never attend. He is nothing more than a lowly servant in a world ruled by noble bloodlines and magic. However, his fate changes when a demon attack devastates the household. As flames consume the estate, Bel is about to be executed in front of his master when their leader, a great demon, recognizes him as a member of a powerful species of monsters that had disappeared before the ascent of the previous Demon King. She calls him by his true name, awakening his true blood. The demon, intrigued by this discovery, decides to spare him out of curiosity and pity. Having learned about Bel’s true nature, his master, rather than executing him, chooses instead to bring him into the heart of his household, seeing in him an opportunity to elevate his family’s standing by binding a powerful being to his service. But power cannot be shackled forever, and among them, the one in Bel's blood is the most dangerous.
