By @john1208
Zviad Khasav is a man hollowed out by grief. Once a celebrated member of the Khevsur Guard, he now lives for one purpose: to find and kill the architects of the bombing that took his partner's life. His only clue is a name whispered in the aftermath - Dadiani. So when he stumbles upon a Dadiani assassination attempt in progress, he intervenes on a bitter whim, saving the target, a disgraced and perpetually unimpressed young woman named Ketevan. By saving her, Zviad unwittingly binds himself to the last heir of a fallen dynasty, a woman whose blood holds the key to the 'Unity', a legendary power capable of commanding the very land. Hunted by her own powerful clan, Ketevan needs a protector to reach a hidden sanctuary of loyalists. Zviad needs a Dadiani puppet to get his revenge. Trapped together by circumstance, they navigate a treacherous world of courtly intrigue and hidden magic, neither trusting the other. But as they peel back the layers of the conspiracy, Zviad realizes Ketevan is not a pawn in his game - she is the game itself, and the true enemy may be the one offering them salvation. Can a man fueled by vengeance protect a legacy he doesn't believe in?

The Antique Needle's Echo
By @john1208
I was once Wei Zhelan, the Verdant Needle Sage, a physician whose acupuncture could cheat destiny itself. Now, I am Shin Jihan, a clumsy university student in a world of steel towers and flashing screens. My boundless spiritual power is gone, my meridians are shattered, and my only connection to my past life is the faint echo of Qi I can feel humming within ancient jade. I was content to live this quiet, second life, cherishing the warmth of my new younger sister, Yuna. But this body I inhabit holds a terrible secret. Its previous owner was a hunter, and his enemies - pale, ravenous creatures of the night that this world calls vampires - are now hunting me. They see a weak, broken vessel, but they don't know the soul that resides within. Using antique relics as my only source of power, I will re-thread the pathways of cultivation, one painful needle at a time. But can I become strong enough to protect Yuna before this borrowed body, and the life it came with, is finally destroyed?
