⚠️ Disclaimer: I have no rights to this story - this is obviously fanfiction. I wrote this to satisfy my craving because Alise Lovell is my favorite character in DanMachi and I was sad she was dead well before the story began. I'm sorry for any spoilers I'm assuming like me you've read the whole thing. (AU) Alternate Universe of DanMachi Crimson Ghosts of Astraea 📖 Story Description What if Alise Lovell survived the Juggernaut? What if the Captain of the Astraea Familia walked the backstreets of Orario, blacklisted beside Ryu Lion, her fire dimmed but not extinguished? In this Alternate Universe of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, the flame of justice thought lost begins to flicker again. Bell Cranel is still the boy who dreams of being a hero. But his path twists the moment Alise's eyes find him - a reckless rabbit who refuses to quit. Drawn to his stubborn spark, she shadows him in the Dungeon, pushes him to his limits in secret training, and rediscovers a hope she swore had died with her Familia. Meanwhile, Ryu struggles between fear and belief. She sees in Bell the same reckless fire that once consumed her - and wonders whether he will share her fate or defy it. Together, these three lives collide in a story of justice, betrayal, and rebirth. From Monsterphilia to the Minotaur, from secret alcoves to crowded taverns, Bell's journey is no longer his alone. The ghosts of Astraea walk with him. Action. Loss. Bonds are stronger than death. This is the story of how one boy's dream and one woman's flame reshaped Orario's future.

A dark foe. A forbidden love. A deadly, high-seas quest. Mercenary sailor Jack's past comes back to haunt him when his crew receives a commission during the height of hurricane season. Charged with returning the all-too-familiar Prince Valory to the capital by way of the isles, Jack and schooner Windjammer battle storms and sea-monsters alike in Oceana's treacherous waters. Jack's new patron, however, is no ordinary nobleman. A hardened soldier and powerful commander, Valory boards Windjammer to scour the isles for signs of the mysterious new threat at Oceana's borders: an evil that burns innocents alive and smashes ships to pieces. Yet Jack isn't without secrets of his own -- secrets that unravel under the growing intensity of a forbidden attraction to his patron. Forced to reclaim his lost title, Jack comes face-to-face with the past he thought he'd outrun. As Windjammer races to defend Oceana from invasion, he and Valory must work together to untangle the threads of the dark alliance threatening their home, crew, and kingdom -- or risk losing everything in the process.

For Ava Kinski has an undiscovered role in the sullen events that has captured the planet - the arrival of the same unknown invaders from the heavens that destroyed Atlantis a long, long time ago... Caught in the seemingly uncanny events is a Alec Archer and his friends; their worlds colliding with Ava, as they are unknowingly thrust in a quest for the truth that will take them to the legend that is Atlantis and to worlds away in time and space, in a magical universe they never knew existed as they are embroiled in a sinister plot of epic proportions. And the question they all have to ask - is Ava a friend or foe? This is the untold story of Atlantis. Please note this work is raw and unedited so sorry for the many mistakes. This is an original work, not a fan fiction, nothing to do with Aquaman, Disney's Atlantis or Stargate. Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to any photos/ media used on here

The most famous pirate of all times, he really doesn't need an introduction. If you love Captain Peter Blood, read this book again on WP. If you don't - well, read it immediately, there is no other romantic figure like tall, dark and handsome Peter Blood. This book, written in 1922, is public domain since its author Rafael Sabatini died in 1950. I will publish some other books, including The Chronicles of Captain Blood and The Fortunes of Captain Blood.
