Rings Of Discord
Kaiser Ashford, second son of a countryside barony, is the reincarnation of the genius Xavier Solstice, the legendary "God of War," the former crown prince who died by mysterious cause, a hero whose past life still casts a long shadow over the kingdom. But Kaiser is not Xavier. He's lost the magic that made him a legend.
As ancient conflicts resurface and dark forces stir, Kaiser must unravel the mystery of Xavier's death, master his new powers, and decide where his loyalties truly lie. Will he embrace the legacy of the God of War, or forge a new destiny in the ashes of the old? In a world where gods and demons play their own games, Kaiser's rebirth is more than just a second chance, it's a spark that could ignite a new era, or consume the world in shadow.
And what will happen, if he was not the only person who got a second chance?
Shameless author here! I want to give a simple overview of my story and what to expect and not to. In a world where gods, demons, and humans each chase their own destinies, a boy named Kaiser Ashford is born into the quiet Ashford Barony. But Kaiser isn’t just any boy, he’s the reincarnation of Xavier Solstice, the fallen Crown Prince of the Crownland Kingdom and once the most powerful Arcanist the world had ever known. Now living a new life, Kaiser has one goal: uncover the truth behind Xavier’s mysterious downfall. What really happened to him in the past? And why was a legend like him erased too soon? As the story unfolds, you’ll discover a vast fantasy world full of dangerous dungeons, terrifying beasts, epic magic, and thrilling adventures. Kaiser, though young, is clever, confident, and at times, ruthless when needed. He doesn't have abilities from his past life, but he will work hard with his new powers and gain what he lost. Mc won't be overpowered in the beginning. He will rise weak to strong. Expect twists and turns, shocking revelations, and a deeper story that goes far beyond revenge or discovery. And no, this isn’t a harem story, there will be one female lead, and she’ll make her appearance in the middle arcs. And story won't be very focused on romance either. If you enjoy mystery, action, a sharp main character, and a world brimming with magic, I invite you to give a shot to this novel. Kaiser's journey is just beginning, and the truth waiting for him is darker and deeper than he ever imagined. Note: English isn’t my first language. If you notice any errors or awkward parts, feel free to point them out! I will do my best to improve.
I give this a shot becuz I had another book of this author in my library (He deleted it tho) I got hooked by the prologue. Well, it's not a fast phased story, and first chapters are slow burning. But it did really grate with character introduction and world building. I recommend this if you are willing to wait and love stories with slow world building. (Seriously, when I read the first chap, I thought this was gonna be like the beginning after the end, kinda novel, but Mc proved it wrong just in the second chap) I am really not into first-person view, but this narrator's voice is funny and strong. It's like I was living with him. Let me put some things I noticed. This novel is an absolute masterpiece in the making, a perfect mix of intelligent worldbuilding, thrilling action, sharp humour, and deep mystery. It follows Kaiser Ashford, formerly Xavier Solstice, a once-legendary Crown Prince and Arcanist who was mysteriously reincarnated into a struggling noble family. With his brilliant mind, sarcastic wit, and unpredictable schemes, Kaiser navigates Scams (what else should I say 😂 ), magical battles, and the mystery of his own death, all while being hilariously chaotic. Things I love, A Genius Protagonist – Kaiser is strategic, manipulative, and effortlessly entertaining. Deep Worldbuilding – The mana core system, affinities, and ancient cataclysms are rich and superbe. Cinematic Action – The magic battles and chase scenes are fast-paced and intense. I think we will get more of it. Perfect Humour & Drama – Kaiser’s sarcasm and wild schemes make every chapter fun and engaging. (I mean, he's gonna be a top-notch con artist) And there are already some mysteries that I am waiting for answers. Like how Xavier died??? Good luck, Author! (I just hope you won't delete this too)
This is so good. Honestly since Author's previous book is in romance gen (bl), I doubted when they started an action fantasy novel. But in my opinion you slayed it. The thing kept me going on this novel is mc. He is entertaining. (And in newest chap, he felt like a psychopath, I mean not in bad way, in that chap he so badass. He is a genius, bit not overly. He still has some humanity in him. And man he is so confident. (This is just a thought but that confidence is going to gave him troubles one day). The best part is how you balanced humor. And mc is so mysterious. I wonder how he died (it seems like even he don't know) He really is unpredictable and entertaining. And world building is top. mm in chap 3,4 you introduced basic laws of this world, well someone can felt it was lil bit dragging but I guess it's important since later chaps based on those things. So I really don't mind it. The only thing I think should be improve is, character depth for side characters. I mean I love Adrien, but I think you could use more personal moments to develop his roles. And well, since this still in early arcs, I think it will naturally happens as the plot develops. (And seriously aren't you going to continue WOTW???) Thanks for read this and sorry for my bad english
The novel starts off a bit slow, but once you reach chapter six, it really picks up! The action scenes (specially the mind domain arc) are intense and super fun to read. The worldbuilding is solid, and the characters are entertaining and easy to connect with. If you stick with it past the beginning, it’s totally worth it! And I love how MC is ruthless with his enemies, he isn't a whimp and I am here for it.
I felt like I was the only one who didn't give you a review. Well so far good. It's enjoyable and has good quality. But for me it still is so early to leave a proper review. I will do it once the story progresses more.
