In the vast forests, towering mountains, and the wide seas, mythical creatures spread across the wide world. Some are large and terrifying, while others are small and gentle; half of them enjoy harming humans, while others wish to help them. No one knows exactly when they appeared. Some say they existed before the human race emerged, while others claim they appeared alongside the first humans in this world. Their forms and abilities vary, and different races deal with them differently. Some despise them and consider them monsters, while others revere them. Yet everyone agrees on one thing: it is best not to attempt to meddle with them. Everyone, that is, except for one person.

#WSA2025 Word went around that no one that had ever knocked on the esteemed Eleazar family’s doors seeking shelter were turned away. Fleeing the prince of Lustris no less, Arabella Sterling held out hope that those weren’t mere rumors as she crossed the border over to Umbraria, home to all creatures of the night. A land where noble blood like hers was a highly coveted delicacy. As such, she wasn’t turned away, but since the Eleazars ran no charity, Arabella was compelled to become the sole blood provider to the heir of the family in exchange for safety. Though never, in a million years, did she imagine that what had started as a simple trade off, could morph into a swirl of tangled passion when the cold and stoic vampire she served showed interest in the young woman beyond the crimson nectar coursing her veins. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note that the most brutal of abuse (Which includes explicit sexual abuse) takes place near the climax of the story. All I will say is that it won't be enacted by the ML.

Waking up in a new world in the body of a small child—with memories of the modern era and a system that can read the threads of destiny—I sought only one thing: a decent life. My first step was escaping the slums, using whatever advantages the system granted me. But in a world where strength dictates everything, I soon realized that laws meant nothing to me. I wasn’t a hero… nor was I bound by morality. I would take what I wanted, discard what I didn’t, and shape my own path in the shadows. Armed with the power to peer into destinies—fortune, disaster, life, death—I exploited every thread, manipulating fate move the world from the shadows. In this world, I am not a chosen savior. I am the anomaly. The unbound. The one who moves freely, guided only by my own will and desire.

Year 2035. A groundbreaking game—"Glory Lords: Arcane War"—takes the world by storm. With cutting-edge VR immersion, players can feel the pulse of magic, the tremors of battle, and the weight of every decision. But more than just a game, it becomes the ultimate stage for global esports. Elite teams rise, billion-dollar prize pools emerge, and the entire world is swept into the frenzy. But for Ethan Parker, this isn’t just a game. It’s a gamble with fate itself. Las Vegas. Midnight. A secret high-stakes game. On the table lies the world’s only Legendary-tier artifact—the Stone of Glory. Its value? Far beyond a billion dollars. Because hidden within it is a secret—one that can rewrite the very rules of reality. Ethan bets everything. And loses. In that moment, he doesn’t just lose the artifact—he loses his future. Then, the world changes. The game and reality merge. Earth is no longer the world it once was. Society collapses, replaced by a brutal new order where a person’s rank in "Glory Lords: Arcane War" determines their status in real life. The strongest players become kings. The weakest? Slaves. And the one who won the Stone of Glory—Griffin Musk—rises to absolute power, ruling over this new world as its supreme leader. As for Ethan? Once the #1 player in the world, he loses everything—his account, his status, his freedom. Reduced to the lowest class, he suffers, tortured until his final breath. But now—he’s back. Reborn with the memories of his past life, he returns to the moment it all began. This time, he wins the gamble. This time, he won’t let the world fall into Griffin’s hands. But fate has more in store for him… When he logs into the game, he realizes something is off. Not only is he the first player in the world to own private territory, but he also acquires something unheard of—the only Legendary-tier unit in existence: the Green Dragon. And then—something even more shocking. These two Green Dragons aren’t just powerful units. They’re heroes. With growth potential and combat abilities surpassing even top-tier players, they have the power to change the course of the entire game. At that moment, Ethan knows—his path to the top has begun. But the real world isn’t done with him yet. Governments, military forces, corporate giants, secret organizations—and even Griffin himself—are now watching his every move. This time, it’s not just about revenge. This time, he’s taking control of the future. The war of heroes has only just begun…

Meet The Harbinger of Scorching Tempest (aka Soren), a dragon stuck in human form, who is absolutely certain that he can restore his true self at the mysterious Ancestral Pyre…if only someone would stop screaming, stop arguing, and occasionally carry his stuff. Enter Taika, the unwitting girl who owes him her life. So when Taika doesn’t hate him, Soren has what dragons call an epiphany— and what humans call a terrifying lapse in judgment. Thrown together by circumstance (and Soren’s questionable “logic”), the pair set off on a journey across a world that is far more dangerous than either of them anticipated. Along the way, they’ll dodge furious villagers, survive absurd magical mishaps, and learn that dragons have terrible social skills—but also, occasionally, a heart.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch endlessly and horrors—born from beyond existence and from within—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by nightmares that never fade, where survival is measured not in victories but in the ability to endure another day. The Common Era, an age where the very concept of happiness has been abandoned. Here, no story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is enough to end you before you even realize it. If you looked strong, if you felt strong, if you were strong—was it ever enough? Strength itself is questioned here, tested not only by battle but by the world’s unrelenting weight and the collapse of all things. Trust is a fragile mask, loyalty nothing more than a fleeting dream. In such a place, how long can one endure before breaking? What if you didn’t even know who your real family was, where you came from, or whether you had the right to claim even a fragment of Terra as your own? --- I'm pretty excited to come back here after literal months of being away, i haven't updated since i felt it had no real place, it didn't feel real enough, well; as realistic as i wanted it tbh. The characters I had were either to much of this or that and didn't have struggles that felt meaningful. So i toned down how strong the mc is and will be along other things. I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. long ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace. 09/25

His eldest brother is a general, his sister married a Duke, and his third brother is a powerful sorcerer. His father is the Revenue Minister. But Icarus?

Witness, Nine Sword Style: World-Cleaving Dance!” "Hmpf, you think your dragon summon can frighten me? Arise, Titan Warframe."

Area 73 is dying. Factories choke the clouds, mafias rule the alleys, and Avalon—the world’s cold corporate empire—keeps the population silent with fear, surveillance, and manufactured hope. Then the sky changed. Energy stones—mysterious fossils that fell from the heavens—rewrote the balance of power. Nations collapsed, cities burned, and Avalon rose as the only force capable of controlling these new resources. Or so they claimed. For years, Avalon has tried to activate a legendary weapon: the Aydren Bracelet. A relic created by the vanished hero Aydren himself. A weapon that refuses to awaken for anyone. Now Eclipse—the underground rebellion—grows stronger, humiliating Avalon on every battlefield. Pushed to the edge, Avalon decides to restart the Bracelet Project… and search for new candidates. Their answer arrives from the streets of Area 73. Zen Deskan, a feared mafia enforcer hiding a quiet loyalty to his family, unknowingly steals an energy stone during a job—its power echoing across the city like a flare. Avalon detects the signal. And the hunt begins. With their mother taken and Rey—Zen’s gentle younger brother—now a target, the Deskan family is dragged into a war they never chose. Mafia loyalties shatter, Eclipse prepares its next uprising, and Avalon tightens its grip on the bracelet that could change the fate of the world. The night Zen stole that stone… Fate moved. And nothing in Area 73 will ever be the same again

Crimson, a draconic warrior of the Goddess of the Heavens, is summoned to the world of Avi to protect mortalkind from the Fallen Queen's malevolent army, but the Queen has other plans in mind. When Crimson finds herself in chains, a war wages in her mind between righteous hatred for the evil Queen and a burgeoning forbidden desire for her.

When she is finally pushed to the breaking point, Crimson must decide what she fights for, and who she wants to fight alongside. Hilde, the dignified, compassionate, groveling ex-girlfriend, or Umbra, the dominating, overprotective, seductive evildoer. WRETCHED is a fast paced and intense journey through fierce emotional turmoil, drastic character developments, and dramatic developments in plot and setting, rife with gorgeous imagery and scenery, unique and unusual characters, as well as a deeply fantastical conclusion. CW: WRETCHED deals with sensitive subjects including dubious consent, enslavement, genocide, eugenics, war, depictions of violence, mass murder, and corrupt religion.

Astra. A wonderful world, bestowed upon humans by the gods as their dwelling place — a realm filled with secrets, beauty, and divine legacy. But this world was never theirs alone. Countless other species laid claim to it: orcs, dragons, elves, spirit beings, demi-gods… all seeking to rule. For 20,000 years, Astra remained under human rule — until the non-human races declared war. Consumed by greed, envy, and centuries of oppression, they rose up. Why had the gods abandoned them? They, too, longed to live freely on this earth. A few gods heard their cries — and so began the rebellion. Once united, the peoples of Astra turned against one another. A great war erupted. Allies became enemies, and ancient ideals were forgotten. As the gods reveled in the chaos, a turning point came. A group of deities, weary of destruction, formed an Assembly to restore balance. Among them, one god offered a sacred prayer — calling forth chosen souls, guided by his divine power, to bring back peace and harmony. He was the God of Hope. Through the swirling chaos of existence, four individuals arrived in Zephyrios, the divine land. From that moment, a long journey began — to save Astra, to uncover forgotten truths, and to confront a world where conflicting ideologies and ambitions are destined to collide.

When a catastrophic explosion tears six lives from Earth, five awaken in a radiant land of prophecy. They are hailed as Chosen Heroes, gifted divine systems, and tasked with saving the world. Glory, quests, and destiny await them. But the sixth… was forgotten. Lucian Veythar opens his eyes not to light, but to endless darkness. Cast into the Abyssal Rift, he is branded not as a hero, but as a monster. His gift is no blessing—it is the [Voidborn Nexus], a system of hunger, domination, and ruin. As the “heroes” bask in their divine roles, Lucian discovers the truth: They are no saviors. They are sacrifices. Pawns fattened for the slaughter. In the depths, Lucian claws his way up—devouring horrors, bending shadows, and forging himself into something greater, colder, unstoppable. His obsession festers, too, fixed on Elara Wintersong, the icy beauty among the heroes. To the others, she is hope incarnate. To Lucian, she is the ultimate prize—a symbol of his conquest. This is not the tale of chosen saviors. This is the tale of the Sovereign of the Abyss. When he emerges, the false heroes will break, the light will wither, and the world will kneel. The heroes may think this is their story. But it has always belonged to him.

Kyree dies… and instead of heaven or hell, he sees a blinding light that's a person? The next moment? He’s a rabbit. A rare Snowbound Hare in a frozen wilderness where everything is stronger, faster, and hungry. Confused, weak, and alone, Kyree discovers a strange system that isn't helpful, a dangerous bloodline that makes him a target, and magic tied to space itself. To survive, he must evolve, grow, and carve out a place in a world that never planned for him. He has no fate. There is no prophecy. Just a former nobody learning to live—and fight—with a new life he never asked for. Reborn with no fixed fate and no guidance, Kyree enters a world where races evolve, power is earned, and every decision sends ripples across kingdoms. From surviving the wilderness to entering the prestigious Royal Willix Academy, he must learn—sometimes painfully. And in a world of beasts, spirits, nobles, and ancient bloodlines… one choice can change everything. *********************************** There will be #R-18 chapters within the first 100 chapters

Man must claw at God. Humanity has always been frugal and greedy in its efforts, reaching for what it does not deserve while pretending its hands are clean. It is filled with wretched beings like Nicholas, creatures who live, breathe, and cry out for mercy even as they willingly submit themselves to the very fate that devours them. Nicholas would despise himself more than anyone else, and even then, he would still dare to fight for his life. Such audacity, coming from someone so painfully small, is utterly unacceptable. And yet, despite how pitiful his struggles appear and how worthless that foolish man may be, his frantic grasping might still amount to something in the end. Even a creature like him may carve a mark, however faint, against the divine. More Tags: Cosmic Horror, Philosophical, Psychological.
