From then on, she was cherished by the man as the apple of his eye, not allowing her to suffer the slightest grievance.He, the dark and sinister king of the Sovereign Empire, also a business tycoon, a hidden noble, cold, ruthless, and domineering yet charming, used all his immense power and wealth to spoil his woman to the heavens.“King, the Young Madam says she wants a 50 billion diamond ring.”“How can one be enough? Send her a truckload.”“King, the Young Madam threw down the divorce agreement and ran away pregnant.”That night, he cornered her against the wall, his deep, magnetic voice seductively saying: “Baby, where do you plan to go with my heir?”[Double Virgins][Extreme Pampering][Abuse Scum]

After years of exile, Marcus is coming back home. A powerful mage with few equals, Marcus lives in a world full of monsters and powerful adepts, many of which have bad histories with him. But he has not come back to pursue vengeance or start a fight. All Marcus wants to do is reconnect with old friends, build himself a house, and maybe train a successor or two.Alas, the world didn’t stop just because Marcus went into exile, and not everyone is content to let go of old grievances. Strange things are happening in the world at large, too, hinting at a looming disaster of unknown nature. Still, where there is a will, there is a way.If nothing else, Marcus has a lot of magical power to throw at problems.+++Zenith of Sorcery is set in its own original setting and isn’t related to Mother of Learning… beyond being written by the same person, of course. This is a more classical fantasy story than my previous one, with a lower level of technology and stuff like elves and dwarves, but it has a lot of worldbuilding effort put into it and its own complex magical system. The story has significant xianxia influences, but isn’t meant to be a xianxia story.For those of you not familiar with my previous work, I write relatively slowly. I intend to publish chapters at the rate of one chapter every three or four weeks, subject to further delays as life intervenes.
