The Soul Reborn: From Silence to Sovereignty Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Blessed Be the Bitches Who Tried Me

The day of the banquet came far too soon. Granted it was only a few days later, but that doesn’t really change my way of thinking. I wasn’t ready at all, mentally speaking.

My heartbeat was gradually rising as the day progressed. I sat on the edge of my bed, twisted my fingers together, barely able to think.

What would my family do?

They had already shown that an archduke couldn’t stop their arrogan...

Chapter 11: The Space Where I Can Be Me

“NNNNOOOOAAAAHHHH!” I whined dramatically, throwing my arms in the air like I was a damsel falling off a cliff. “Don’t leave me hanging on the side of a mountain! Give me your hand and pull me up!”

Noah didn’t respond right away because once again he was bursting into laughter.

“Your imagination is truly out of this world.” He said, shaking his head, clearly amused.

I nodded proudly. “Yes, it is...

Chapter 10: Spoil Me Rotten and I Might Love You

At some point during the ride between planning a Prince’s assassinations and Noah’s closeness, I realized we weren’t going back to the Archduke’s estate.

After I began paying attention to my surroundings, we pulled up to a boutique. Not just any clothing store, but “the” clothing store of the entire capital.

Floor-to-ceiling windows with mannequins dressed in gowns that looked like they came straig...

Chapter 9: Kill the Crown Prince, Please and Thank You

I couldn’t help but sneer inwardly as I looked at all the nobles in attendance whispering behind fans and embroidered sleeves. Every step we took before we were standing in front of the king echoed louder than the one before. My grip on Noah’s arm had practically turned into a death hold.

But of course he didn’t even flinch.

He led me forward with the calm confidence of someone who had done this a ...

Chapter 8: Engaged, Anxious, and Avoiding Heels

The next morning came far too quickly as I groaned awake. My hair was a tangled mess, and the sheets were wrapped tightly around my body like the shield they’ve been used for so many times before. I still can’t believe I’m a fiancée to a man. To think at first I thought he was a she; I couldn’t help but sigh at some of my actions recently.

Now, I get to look forward to being dragged in front of the king and ...

Chapter 7: The Villainess in the Mirror

The room had gone silent once again.

Only the distant click of boots and murmurs from the hallway reminded me that we were still in the heart of the archduke’s estate. For some reason he still hasn’t let me get out of his embrace, creating an awkward atmosphere.

I’ve just been declared by the Archduke himself that I would be his fiancée. To a man I’d thought was the most beautiful woman the night before. I can...

Chapter 6: The Engagement That Saved My Life

It was so surreal. I couldn’t actually see what was going on while still under the sheets, but I could feel the heavy air.

The way Evelyne’s voice cracked through the air with the same smug superiority, like she owned the entire world. Even now, in the presence of someone so obviously beyond her, she still won’t back down.

“You don’t scare me.” She said it as if actually trying to challenge the Archduk...

The Soul Reborn: From Silence to Sovereignty Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Confused Heart, Dangerous Savior

I stayed there for a long time while still feeling the presence of someone in the room, tucked under the blankets like a child hiding from monsters under the bed.

This had to be the heroine’s estate; otherwise, why would I be in such good condition? My only thought was I had to figure out some way to break the silence because these current circumstances gave me too much anxiety.

“Heroine?” I muttered, underst...

The Soul Reborn: From Silence to Sovereignty Chapter 4

Chapter 4: The Slap Heard Around the Ballroom

The ballroom was way too bright, with every chandelier burning like a miniature sun. Its golden glow reflecting off the polished marble floor and the silver-trimmed gowns the music drifted from the corner of the room as the nobles currently staring at me could only whisper with sharp tongues.

I followed Evelyne through the room like a shadow, flinching at every whisper, laugh, or cruel sideways glance cast in my direct...

The Soul Reborn: From Silence to Sovereignty Chapter 3

Chapter 3: To Make Her Shine

I couldn’t help but sigh at the much more eye-catching dress than I’ve ever worn before. That alone should’ve tipped me off that something was very wrong.

It was still very plain by noble standards, with a soft cream color and dull embroidery, no jewels, lace, or frills. The fact that it fit too well means they’ve been planning this for a while.

My mind couldn’t help but feel annoyed with how nice the material felt agai...

The Soul Reborn: From Silence to Sovereignty Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Clean Enough to Use

Morning came once again, and I was still in the body of Seraphina that I’ve inhabited for the last year. The sun didn’t exactly shine in this musky attic that I call my home. But from a small gap in the ceiling, I can barely make out whether it’s day or night.

My body ached once again from the hard floor. It was actually better than the bed that’s been destroyed by Evelyne in the past. She thought I wasn’t good enough to ev...

The Soul Reborn: From Silence to Sovereignty Chapter 1

Chapter 1: A Body That Wasn’t Mine

I woke up in pain, a dull throbbing ache pulsing on my side as if someone had kicked it repeatedly. My hand, without thinking, put a little pressure, and I couldn’t help but yell out.

“Ouch.” As I continued to try and catch my breath, I couldn’t help but wonder why I was in so much pain.

The last thing I remember was going to sleep, and then all of a sudden I’m here. Just who am I? I looked at my small, delicate...

Veilshade: Crown of Fire and Lightning - Chapter 9

Letters Meant to Break

As Asher Telvane opened his eyes, he looked towards Nyra, whose eyes also opened.

Their gazes met, and neither said a word for a moment. It was as though the world waited on their breath. Her silver hair was scattered over his chest, and his arm was still wrapped protectively around her waist. Their legs were tangled, bodies pressed together.

Nyra smiled. The corner of Asher’s mouth curled too. There was no hesitation anymore. Just t...

Veilshade: Crown of Fire and Lightning - Chapter 8

The Trap at Dawn

The echo of loyalty faded quickly in the shadowed corners of the court.

Vows made in the glow of rising power are often shattered under the weight of older, darker promises.

The Empress knew that well.

She watched from her private chamber, cloaked in silks the color of dried blood, her sharp fingers tracing the rim of a crystal goblet. Her spies had returned swiftly, with whispers of every name Nyra had pulled into her rising faction.<...

Veilshade: Crown of Fire and Lightning - Chapter 7

Blades and Bonds

Sunlight spilled in through the silken curtains, casting soft golden beams across the royal chamber. The warmth crept along the bed until it reached two tangled figures, wrapped not just in sheets, but in something far more delicate.

Asher awoke slowly, his senses sharpened by instinct but dulled by a rare peace. His arm was around her. Nyra lay tucked into his side, her silver hair scattered across his chest. One of her hands rested against his h...

Veilshade: Crown of Fire and Lightning - Chapter 6

The Flame of Redrock

The carriage rocked gently as it made its way along the moonlit road that curved like a silver ribbon toward Moonglass Palace. The rhythmic sound of hooves on cobblestone echoed beneath the starlit sky, a lullaby only for those unburdened by secrets. But Nyra Virelle Moonglass had long since forfeited sleep.

She sat across from Asher, a thick, leather-bound satchel resting in her lap. The steel clasp had already been pried open, its contents r...

Veilshade: Crown of Fire and Lightning - Chapter 5

A Court Divided

The court smelled of perfume and polished lies.

Nyra stood at the center of it, spun in silk, eyes bright as frost, back straight despite the weight pressing down on her. She wore her silver hair like a blade. Her crown, though absent, was the only one in the room worn with dignity.

And yet, every pair of eyes on her held the same message:

You don’t belong here.

Not in the courts.
Not beside Veilshade.
Not in power.

...

Veilshade: Crown of Fire and Lightning - Chapter 4

Teal and Silver

The storm came quietly. There were no proclamations. No trials. No official charges. Lord Morgrave’s death, though dramatic in its brutality, was not announced in the streets or whispered with wine in court. It was smothered and swallowed by the capital’s machinery like every other piece of inconvenient truth.

But the ripples could not be stopped.

Nobles spoke behind fans and goblets. In smoky rooms and garden alcoves, they spun stories l...

Shadows Beneath the Crown

The Grand Celestine Ballroom hadn’t seen such splendor in over a decade.

Draped in cascading silks of silver and sapphire, lit by floating chandeliers that shimmered like stars suspended in still air, the ballroom pulsed with a strange kind of life. Nobles preened and prowled, their laughter as carefully measured as their steps. Servants glided between them like ghosts, bearing trays of honeyed wine and fig-stuffed pastries.

It wa...

Veilshade: Crown of Fire and Lightning - Chapter 2

A Princess and Her Assassin

The Court of Eldreth, seat of the Virelle dynasty, was a palace wrapped in silk and secrets.

To the public, it was a place of refinement with grand halls and crystal chandeliers. Ballrooms filled with laughter, the scent of imported roses, and the rustle of silken skirts. Every glance calculated, and every toast a knife’s edge.

But beneath the lace and civility, the court pulsed with poison. Alliances shifted with the moon. Smil...

Veilshade: Crown of Fire and Lightning - Chapter 1

Banquet of Betrayal

The stones of Redrock bled. They had done so for years, decades, even. Crimson stains ran deep into the cracks of the earth, soaked into the roots of the arena itself, as though the land had long accepted its cursed role. Sunlight never quite touched Redrock right. It always seemed to strike at an angle that cast long, misshapen shadows, as if the place warped the very laws of nature to suit its hunger.

Amid the crowd’s thunderous roar and th...

I've Been Reincarnated As A Summoned Beast: Chapter 10

Kyomi

After following my instincts, I somehow became emotionally connected to the domineering fox that saved me. It was just something I felt at the time was to lick his face in a show of gratitude. Who would have known that would unlock something inside me that made me much stronger and also gave me a lifelong partner?

Even though I was pushed away occasionally since I met Zero, he keeps relenting and doing it much less. I can feel his heart opening up t...

I've Been Reincarnated As A Summoned Beast: Chapter 9

Zero

Once I reached the location Euphy was currently located, I couldn’t help but feel rage at her current situation. Without any kind of forward thinking, I dropped my absolute zero on all those who were about to die.

Before I killed Euphy and her mother, I shielded them with a powerful barrier that I can create through my affinity, which is just about unbreakable to most, if not all, attacks. After that I created a cage that would make it impossible f...

I've Been Reincarnated As A Summoned Beast: Chapter 8

Euphy

The fullness of my heart at the summoning of Zero is now emptiness at the fact he isn’t by my side. What a rollercoaster of events that has completely shattered what I once believed. How naive to think I would just be able to summon a beast and have it fully under my control.

If that was truly the case, then what was the point of the academy? Nothing I learned prepared me for this day and the overwhelming presence of Zero. The bond we created upon...

I've Been Reincarnated As A Summoned Beast: Chapter 7

Zero

That night I stayed out in the forest just behind Euphy’s estate, located right next to the Oversight guild building. I wanted to give her some time to get her mind right, and I thought it would be nice to sleep under the stars of a new sky. Of course, Kyomi was huddled right next to me as if trying to get all my warmth.

I just don’t know how to feel about her affection. I’m not sexually attracted to her form at all, but I do find her very cute...

I've Been Reincarnated As A Summoned Beast: Chapter 6

Zero

“Well, shit.” Who would have known that consuming someone who had summons connected to their body would become yours? Does that mean if I find an interesting beast and want to claim it for myself, I just have to eat the summoner? I couldn’t help but laugh to myself.

But, on the other hand, why would I need some other beast when I plan on being the apex of this world? Also, could this really be her name? Letters started showing up within my mind...

I've Been Reincarnated As A Summoned Beast: Chapter 5

Zero

The next morning, Euphy took me to the training grounds where most of the guild members trained. This was also where I embarrassed Euphy's father with how weak the strongest guild masters pets were in our battle.

I’m not sure if I’m just stupidly strong or this world is just far under the level of my previous one. If that man’s claim of being the strongest is legit, the people of this world are doomed with what’s out there.

Euphy had to...

I've Been Reincarnated As A Summoned Beast: Chapter 4

Zero

Standing in front of three beasts caused my excitement to bubble up as bloodlust started to exude from all over my body. I had convinced Euphy to challenge all three of his beasts for me to really drive home my point. Even if I can’t beat all of them, I can still stay in the fight and not lose. I’m sure of this fact.

I promised Euphy I would show her a portion of my true power. She warned me not to go overboard as this wasn’t an actual fight of...

I've Been Reincarnated As A Summoned Beast: Chapter 3

Zero

I’m not quite sure if I should feel excited or not about having my first kiss in this life or the last as a fox. At the very least, the girl is a knockout beauty who is now tied to me forever. Instinctively I knew I had to exchange fluids with her to complete the soul bond of my seventh tail. She’s now in the land of no return in our relationship.

There was no chance she would back out on me anyway, now that I’m her summoned beast. I just reall...

I've Been Reincarnated As A Summoned Beast: Chapter 2

Zero

Since interacting with the inhabitants of this world had become monotonous, I decided the best way to entertain myself was to enjoy my soul link. Every living creature completely avoided my mountain peak anyway because of my aggressive nature over the past decade.

I’ve found out that this person is female, and their name was Euphemia Hawthorne. She had cherry blossom hair with innocent, deep pink eyes. Her personality seemed to overwhelm most of th...
