In the year 2047, magic was considered a myth. Children learned about it in history books. Scientists called it an evolutionary impossibility. Governments denied its existence. And yet, every night at exactly 12:07 a.m., the moon above the city of Aurelia turned violet. Nobody knew why. Nobody-except Elara Vale. She had spent twenty-three years pretending she couldn't see magic. It was easier that way. Magic had rules. Magic had consequences. And, most importantly, magic attracted people who wanted to control it. Elara worked at the Department of Advanced Technology, officially developing quantum communication systems. Unofficially? She repaired magical artifacts for people who couldn't admit that magic was real. Her favorite artifact was a tiny silver pocket watch. It didn't tell time. It told the future. Unfortunately, it had one annoying habit. It always stopped whenever Kael Ardent was nearby. And Elara absolutely hated Kael Ardent.

Every answer leads to another mystery, and every discovery pushes him further from the reality he thought he understood. The world was never irrational. He simply never knew all of its rules.

Volume 1 - Heaven's Hell I never thought that I would have to think about this anime again. Heaven's Hell. Your classic modern fantasy harem anime, but with one special twist. Each one of the love interests is filled with an obsessive love: they're all yanderes. Together, the main protagonist, Eric Arthurson, and his troupe of yanderes fight to delay the Demon King's return to the world. In any other classic harem anime, the heroes would win and vanquish the Demon King forever. But not in this stupid one. No, the protagonist and his harem loses, and the world is doomed to the rule of the Demon King. It was a shocking ending to an anime that I was determined to forget about. That was, until after I woke up in some background character's body three months before the start of the anime with a world-ending event three years in the future. That, combined with the obsessive love tendencies of the main cast... this is a hell on Earth. There's only one option. Escape before the world or the yanderes get to me and make it back home. #1 newworld - 7/26/2026 #1 modernfantasy - 7/28/2026 A Novel By UnknownFate Edited by KnownFaust

Ebenezer spent his whole life being the Nice Guy. He wanted to be good and friendly, to be someone everyone could rely on and be treated like a friend to all. And what does he get in return? He gets laughed at, mocked, bullied, and beaten. His generosity is taken advantage of, and the next thing Ebenezer knows, he's being forced to do everyone's homework. Things aren't better at home.

She was once bound by a lamp. Now she must learn how to live without one. After centuries of granting wishes and bearing their consequences, Destiny Hope has been set free from magic, law, and command. No longer a genie and not yet fully human, she steps into a world that has moved on without her-where miracles are smaller, choices heavier, and love is no longer something she observes from afar. When she meets Lucas Silva, the son of the woman who finally broke the Rule of Three, Destiny is drawn into a life she was never meant to have: human vulnerability, human joy, and human love. For the first time, she must face a future without immortality to shield her-and without magic to fix what breaks. But freedom has its own cost. As Destiny learns what it means to choose for herself, echoes of her past linger, and the world tests whether a being shaped by eternity can survive a lifetime measured in moments. The Freed Genie is a quiet, romantic fantasy about rebirth after power, love after law, and what happens when a wish finally becomes a choice.

I'm currently posting one chapter every Tuesday's and Friday's at 7:00 pm BTS of Kevin Soprano: The Sword of Augmenti. Join in at those times and see the story slowly revealed. -- Book one of a five book Kevin Soprano saga. I can guess what you're all thinking, why am I, Kevin Soprano, the star of an action book? At a first glance, you wouldn't think so. I may look like the classic nerd without the glasses, the spots and the ruffled hair who hasn't quite hit puberty as much as everyone else. But let me tell you, the adventures I dragged into with my friends Jacob and Kelsey, tell a very different story. This book tells the story of me and my friends, the beginning adventure where I claim the Sword of Augmenti, from a place I only dreamed about and the singular moment where my life, our lives change forever.
