Stigma of an anomaly

_London_
The Hanma bloodline is feared and revered, but within its ranks, ambition, deception, and rebellion fester. A grand tournament, meant to showcase the strength of the clans, is underway, yet beneath the spectacle, hidden agendas unfold. Bruce, the reluctant heir, faces rejection from the very people he’s meant to lead, while Narberal is forced into a confrontation with those seeking revenge. Meanwhile, Ajax, a master of deception, has taken on the identity of Minato Hanma, waiting for the perfect moment to strike as the coveted artifact nears its reveal. As warriors step into the arena, alliances are tested, and grudges resurface. Haruto Okamoto barely has time for introductions before Ren Kozuki’s sudden attack ignites the first battle, setting the stage for a ruthless competition. But this tournament is only the beginning—beneath the fights lies a greater scheme, where power struggles, betrayals, and long-buried secrets threaten to unravel the world as they know it.

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?
