Ancientworld Stories

Neriel (Eliano Rossi) Neriel, known in the human world as Eliano Rossi, is a man who has lived for more than three centuries without aging. A guardian of the ancient balance between life and death, he works for the Ministry of Endings, ensuring that death remains the final chapter of every mortal journey. Calm, mysterious, and impossibly wise, Neriel has witnessed civilizations rise and disappear, watched kingdoms become dust, and carried the memories of countless eras within his heart. Yet beneath his supernatural power and endless knowledge, he remains deeply human. A romantic soul hidden behind the mask of a cosmic guardian, Neriel believes that love is the strongest force that survives time. He has loved many times throughout his long existence, and each person he lost became a precious memory he refused to let fade. He lives in an ancient Italian house filled with magical artifacts, forgotten books, and memories from worlds beyond imagination. He can cross realms, understand forgotten languages, and manipulate ancient magic, but the things that matter most to him are often the simplest: A remembered voice. A shared dance. A handwritten letter. A moment that time could not erase. To the universe, Neriel is a protector of endings. But to those who truly know him... he is a man who spent centuries searching for something that even eternity could not replace: a reason to keep his heart alive. 🌙

Zanim człowiek stworzył miasta... stworzył pierwszy kęs. Każda cywilizacja zaczęła się od pytania: „Czy to zjem?" Jedzenie nie było tylko przetrwaniem. Było technologią. Było rytuałem. Było władzą. Było ewolucją. Od pierwszych łowców przemierzających dziką planetę... przez ogień, fermentację, alkohol, przyprawy, cukier, kawę, zakazane rośliny i tajemnicze grzyby... aż po przyszłość, gdzie człowiek zaczyna projektować własne pożywienie. EATSEEKER odkrywa ukryty kod zapisany w każdym posiłku. Bo prawda jest prostsza, niż myślisz: Nie tylko ty wybierasz jedzenie. Jedzenie przez tysiące lat wybierało ciebie.

Some loves are written in the stars. Theirs was written across time. When Nahla, a young woman with a heart devoted to forgotten ruins and flowers, touches an ancient blue rose carved into the stones of a lost kingdom, she is pulled centuries into the past. There, she meets King Zain-a ruler feared by his enemies, admired by his people, and imprisoned by a lonely heart that has forgotten how to smile. She was never meant to belong to his world. He was never meant to love someone who belonged to another time. Yet among war, whispered promises, moonlit gardens, and impossible roses, two souls become bound by a love that refuses to surrender to fate itself. When destiny tears them apart, they make a promise that even death cannot break. One waits through the passing of forty long years. The other carries his memory across centuries. Between them blooms a single blue rose-a flower that should never exist, yet blossoms for a love that time could never erase. The Ruins and the Rose is a haunting tale of destiny, sacrifice, hope, and eternal love-a reminder that some hearts are connected beyond history, beyond life, and beyond the limits of time. Because true love doesn't end... it waits.

SCROLL FROM THE PAST "It has been foretold that with the rise of the three kings, will bring forth the Armageddon." "The Red king's power shall arise, when he meets his match, a girl from a faraway land, who will enhance the king's power and be the kindle of flame bringing birth to a whole era, but the power shall arise only with a high prize." A prize too high to be paid." "The anguish of the ice king will melt from the hue of happiness brought forth from the power of her love which will bring peace to a world of utter chaos." "The time and tide wait for no man but the water king, who will conquer many deep murky waters but not the pure tears." "Three unique and kind girls will decide the fate of the whole universe with their sacrifice, their power of love and friendship. This shall forge a union between the past, present and future igniting a light in the darkness to come."

The ruler of the empire has died, and now the royal children must step in to fill the vacuum.

***Reminder: This story is a work of fiction and is not an accurate representation of Greek mythology. The name of the main character was originally created by me.*** *** Before the gods. Before the Titans. There was only chaos-and what chaos abandoned, it did not forget. Keralos, the forsaken son of a forgotten Primordial, wandered the Earth unseen, a soul cursed with immortality and no memory of purpose. Cloaked in shadow, with eyes glowing like the void itself, he walked the world alone-saving mortals in secret, never knowing why. Feared by the divine and named The Dread Force, Keralos perished with no history, no home, and no love. But fate had other plans. Reborn as Vorthalon, a new child of Chaos, he awakens in a body not his own-with eyes that remember what the stars dare not. In a universe that buried his name, he must now search for meaning, identity, and the reason why he was brought back. For when the past stirs... even the Primordials begin to tremble.
