The Assassin's Path

ElPsyKongroo8
Nineteen‑year‑old Alaric Vale has only two goals: keep his chronically ill sister Liora alive and survive another day in the neon slums of Arcadia. That changes the night he stumbles into the aftermath of a contract kill and locks eyes with the legendary “Ghost of .” In that instant a glowing interface flares before him: Initializing Assassin’s Path System… Welcome, Alaric Vale. Every successful assassination now has a chance to grant stats, skills, and weapon mods. Every failure means instant death. Thrust into a hidden economy of bounties, corporate warlords, and rival killers, Alaric must master his new System fast—because the contracts on his list quickly escalate from street thugs to city‑shaping kingpins. With Liora’s life hanging in the balance and the city’s underworld watching his every move, Alaric walks a razor edge between predator and prey. Each step on the Assassin’s Path promises power enough to reshape Arcadia… if the cost in blood doesn’t destroy him first. Will he carve out a future bright enough for his sister, or will the Path claim another soul?

The Final Ashfield

Seven years in the future, Jacender Ashfield stands alone on a battlefield, a sea of demons closing in around him. Armed with sheer determination and dwindling strength, he faces the unstoppable forces of an otherworldly horde— and their enigmatic leader, the red-eyed Masked Man. Seven years in the past, Jacender and his twin brother Aleximus train relentlessly in the Axis —a mysterious forest of crimson trees that has been their home for as long as they can remember. Though bound by their uncle Matsuda's warnings to stay hidden, the twins dream of escaping the Axis to uncover the secrets of the world beyond its borders. They defy their uncle’s wishes, enlisting the help of their younger sister Anna, whose strange healing powers carry an ominous, unintended cost. But their quest for freedom shatters when a powerful enemy breaches the Axis, kidnapping Anna and revealing the grim reality of the outside world. Now forced to flee their sanctuary, Jacender and Aleximus embark on a perilous journey to Pendragon, a distant nation their uncle believes can shelter them from those pursuing the ancient Codex Jacender carries with him. Fueled by grief and vengeance, the twins vow to destroy the organization that razed their home — no matter the cost. As they traverse a dangerous continent filled with warring factions, ancient magic, and sinister political and religious forces, the brothers unravel the truth of their origins — and the fate they were born to face.  Yet Aleximus bears a haunting secret: a prophecy whispered in his dreams, foretelling a future drenched in darkness. And with every step forward, he feels the whisper growing louder; and with it — a fear for his brother's destiny.
