Takashi Watanabe's right foot won't stop tapping. The anticipation of being a first-time father wrestles with the anguish of his past. Just before he laid his eyes on his daughter, an Olympian deity plucks him out of time and space to drop him in a time of unforgiving warriors, cruel monsters, and the gods of Greek Mythology. Along with these obstacles, he must also confront his traumatic past. The one saving grace is a new ability that the Olympian wants to covet for their own desires. He must learn to master this gift in order to survive and return to his loved ones. Will he be able to overcome his fears or fall victim to them?

Welcome to the Blossom Awards. This year I have decided to restart these awards. I hosted them in 2018 and 2019, and they were widely popular. They had to be discontinued last year in 2022 due to personal reasons, but they will be completed in 2023. Feel free to enter the contest or help judge.

**Character artwork by the amazing Ueko https://twitter.com/ueko_t ** Sword of Searing Spring tells the tale of a sword brought to life in search of revenge for its fallen master, Saya Grieva. Having no body of its own, it uses Saya's blood to forge a vessel to wield itself, donning the name April. Unfortunately for April, the newly born sword woman's battles don't end with just revenge. Cresha is ill with many people that would suffer innocents the same fate as Saya once they get their hands on an artifact. Some of them travel the entire country in search of the sword just as the bandits did. Her objectives are thus: Kill the man responsible for Saya's death, find her fiancé and the Grieva family to inform them of her passing, and wipe out any artifact wielder standing in her way. The first part of April's story is currently finished. If you read it to the end, thank you for your time!

The dead have never been so alive. After a deadly contagion reduced the world's population into mindless, undead monsters, the ruins of America still teem with activity, as some of the dead have regained their intelligence and created their own society; one free from the living's touch. Now, more than a decade later, survivalist extraordinaire Liam Fenix undertakes a harrowing escape from the uninhabited island that has been his prison since before the outbreak began, only to discover that he is the sole survivor of the civilization he left behind. He is not alone, however, as reincarnated bounty hunter Leah believes that Liam holds the key to reversing the pandemic that created her race. Armed with their survivalist expertise and following traces of the past, the two must traverse the wastelands together and bring back life to an otherwise dead world, even as they are pursued by a tyrant who does not want this plague to end. ------- Top tags to date: #1 in Gritty 12/21/2022 - 1/11/2023 ------- New chapters will be posted on Mondays, 4:00-6:00PM EST.

Hey everyone Looking for a place to advertise your books. Well you have come to the write place. Welcome and don't worry there is no payments required:)

This is currently done unless i decide to do more in the future, it's kinda boring for me now and i just don't have a drive for horror like the scrub 13 year old i once was. so enjoy this. About this Story, id say its crap, there are a few good ones, but there are a few joke parts in there as well (for instance: Cat). Thanks @LittleWolf808 for the cover.

Don't mess with the devil Momma always said Don't mess with the devil or you'll end up dead Don't look at his dagger-like eyes, they'll make you bleed Don't listen to his words, he'll lead you into fulfilling evil deeds Making him mad would be your biggest regret He'll make sure you pay an extra fee with your debt He slits throats and crunches bones with emotionless eyes While smirking maliciously with those dark red lips that spill lies He'll pretend to be friendly, give your cheek a poisonous peck But once he's done with you, he won't think twice before snapping your neck

Those who were taken... They never came back, dragged beneath the waves never to return. Their haunting screams were a symbol of their horrific deaths. Like shadows they lay in wait, the deep blue waters hiding them from view. With sharp claws they attack, Pointed fangs tearing into skin, Eager mouths devouring human flesh. Cally was taken, dragged under the water by one of the vicious creatures. But she was not devoured nor torn apart by ruthless claws--no. She was a captive. ~•~ Water instantly invades her senses. Her eyes sting, her lungs and nose burning. She thrashes, kicks, claws--anything to get away. Her efforts go to waste as her body slowly starts to shut down, the air in her lungs quickly being replaced by sea water. Cally is vaguely aware of arms wrapping around her waist and behind her head before she loses consciousness, submerged in darkness. And so she is taken. Another victim of the mysterious sea. 《Completed》 Subscribe to TheAllieL Patreon for exclusive stories and content not featured on Wattpad and to support future works and book publishing! - Free Subscriber Tier - Allie's Library - Tier 1 - $2/month - Allie's Journal - Tier 2 - $5/month Subscribe here: Patreon.com/TheAllieL

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.
