Those who live in the Abyss may as well be considered confined. The Lesser Lord of the Abyss is the only inhabitant left alive. He discovers that nearly all the Gods in the mortal realm were killed... over five hundred years ago. Now, only six of the Gods remain, ruling the surviving nations of the world they called Edyria. The Lesser Lord journeys through every nation in search for the remaining Gods, in hopes of receiving answers from them regarding the death of the other Gods and the fate of the world. However... it seems that someone is trying their best to make sure he never finds out. ⚠️ THIS STORY CONTAINS: strong language, violence, manipulation, genocide, murder/death. If you're the type who enjoys certain tropes, here you go: never spoken, always known (this trope breaks my heart and it will break yours, too). Started: March 2024 Finished: This story is heavily inspired by Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, The Girl From the Other Side, Over the Garden Wall, Dangerously Yours: Masquerade, Steven Universe, Howl's Moving Castle, and the bible (but I'm not religious). If you need help imagining what each nation in this story is like... First nation (Descental) is inspired by Ancient Greece (architecturally), Mondstadt (Genshin Impact) and Hogsmeade from Harry Potter (only the main city mentioned in this story). Second nation (Spyriax) is inspired by Egypt and the chasm in Genshin Impact (not very strongly, though). Third nation (Eudaemonia) is inspired by Day of the Dead and Chenyu Vale from Genshin Impact (only aesthetically). Fourth nation (Odirium) is inspired by Ancient Japan. Fifth nation (Miyeria) is inspired by Italy, France, and South American cultures. Sixth nation (Ephemeral) is inspired by Alice Through the Looking Glass.

A dark fantasy romance about a demon girl, a human boy, a hummingbird, and martial arts.

LAST YEAR. This is the year WW2 ends. I have chosen this as the end point in my story as well. All the wars after this one will be hard to put a closure on. I think again that it was a unique incident. Well. The author realized the difficulty of the translation work. I give up the idea of translating the whole story on my own. I would like to try again when I have more time, but if I have that time, I would like to create a new story. Still. I wanted to make this last chapter public. So, I will put my last effort into it. Before Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" is released in July 2023. I want to leave evidence that there was a Japanese who wrote such a novel. Narrator G, Albert Einstein. Narrator H, Richard Feynman. Narrator I, Jacob Beser. These three names begin to speak for the first time in 1945. Readers can start reading here, no problem. Everyone ran as fast as they could. It was a fun, fun time. So, goodbye.

A ROGUE'S REWARD His plan was foolproof. Fate disagreed. Meet Finn: charming, cunning, and utterly penniless. Meet Barry: his loyal companion, perpetually focused on his next meal. When the kingdom offers a princess and a fortune for the head of the fearsome giant Goliath, Finn concocts a scheme too brilliant (and absurd) to fail. Forget slaying the monster - Finn plans to marry him off! What follows is a riotous adventure filled with tavern brawls, improbable escapes, potent wine, political backstabbing, and the most unconventional matchmaking attempt in history. But in a kingdom where everyone has an angle, the biggest con might be the one Finn never saw coming. #FantasyComedy #Adventure #MedievalFantasy #Rogue #Comedy #PoliticalIntrigue #Giant #ARoguesReward #FantasyFilm #Picaresque #Swashbuckler

An adventure is an event or series of events that happens outside the course of the protagonist's ordinary life, usually accompanied by danger, often by physical action. Adventure stories almost always move quickly, and the pace of the plot is at least as important as characterization, setting, and other elements of creative work

In 1859, England, a misfit Irish student named Lámha L. Boggan endures ridicule at his prestigious English boarding school due to his heritage and peculiar looks. Despite constant harassment and failing grades, Lámha is promised a special "retreat." However, the trip turns out to be a dark twist of fate, where he's thrust into the brutal world. Optimistic yet naive, Lámha must now navigate the harsh reality of servitude, betrayal, and survival while traveling across the globe.

A twisted fantasy world where anything can, and does happen. Thief, assassin and sharp wit, Ayren, executes the biggest heist in the country's history. Justice is good. Justice while liberating the town treasury is even better. Chock full of swords, knives, sorcerers, magic, dark fantasy, elves, dwarves, assassin, thieves. Cousin to The Witcher and Dragon Age. IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY SOME STRONG LANGUAGE, LIGHT SEXUAL SCENARIOS OR DARK THEMES THESE ARE NOT THE TALES FOR YOU. This is a complete mini-novel. Or more accurately, a long short in a series.

The Mentite War is now behind him, but Matthieu Sartonné finds himself in another company of holy warriors, bound for a frontier only known to him in legend. Global Church converts in the western Qenshi States fear once again the armies of their southern neighbors, and the nations of the Southern Coalition have responded to their call. It does not matter that joining them saved Matthieu from the Grand Inquiry in Ossir, as the desire for a better world still grips him as strongly as ever. But now he has seen not only the perfection of the Bathala's island but the false paradise of Cyrnne, and questions the ability of imperfect beings to create anything that is not even more flawed than they are. This new world is one where the Global Church, under its officers and lords, works to transform a nation into one after its own pattern. Enemies of this effort are everywhere, and even the work of its allies threaten to destroy any chance at a peaceful conclusion to what had previously been a tense stalemate. Meanwhile, an impoverished priest takes Matthieu into his service, unaware that forces beyond their control threaten to destroy everything they seek to mend. In a land where the work of salvation and the work of death are so closely mingled, how can one man hope to stand against the current of the times?

War. What is the starting point and where does it end? This is a vexing question. By the time war is declared, it is too late. If we are to stop it, we must act before it starts. To act proactively, one must be observant and know the process. To depict this, the author started the story 25 years before the end of the war. Aside from that. In the original version, all 385 stories were presented in the form of an undivided list. The author felt that this format was difficult to read in the Wattpad version. Therefore, we have decided to present the stories up to 1926 as vol. 1, and to compose a new vol. 2. There is still a long way to go, so please take your time to follow along. At what stage would you take what action? Good Luck.

WELCOME TO THE LAND OF THE CURSED SOULS The Mad Maven's : "THE CURSE OF SAYRE ISLAND" Translated to New World Language by Giovanna Emeraude Genre: Mystery-Picaresque Language: English, Serrian (Geriatric Werrseindich-Castilean) "GOD IS DEAD!" When the darkness came caving in, crows started to appear more plenty than ever. The land which was as old as time withered until it was nothing more than a shadowed mystery. The Tower of Life and Death which pierced the heavens started to crack. The people feared that their God will never again hark their prayers and that the voice of lunacy was above all. On August 12th, 1913-a body of a young woman was found dead in Cursed Creek which heightened the fear of the mass. And once that had been feared was worshipped. The Church crumbles, the people cry, and Sayre was left to rot. One young maiden, named The Mad Maven-a heathen, a black sheep, a heretic and a witch-investigating an unknown important mystery, found herself trapped between the deaths of the people around her. As Dooms Day comes, and as three curious questions were asked; determined to leave Sayre, she sought to seek the root of all the murder mysteries while claiming the opportunity to erase the blood tainted on her name-also as a suspected murderer herself. Wanting to escape her deadly fate, join The Rebels as they seek the answers to these mysteries, unfortunate events and the lingering curse that had been spreading-rotting the land since the dawn began.

In 1863, Theophile Gautier introduced us to the loquacious, punctilious swordsman, brigand and killer for hire Maitre Jaquemin Lampourde and his curious-looking colleague the Chevalier Malartic, assassin, criminal mastermind and professional kidnapper. They were only secondary villains in Gautier's 'Captain Fracasse', henchmen to the villainous Duc d'Vallombreuse, but they were also much more interesting than any of the main characters of the novel, and sadly received far too little page-time. To remedy Gautier's negligence, I present the continued adventures of this pair of professional criminals in the Paris of D'Artagnan and Cyrano, hoping to do for them what Stoppard did for Rosencrantz and Gildenstern, and what Macdonald-Fraser did for Harry Flashman.

Matthieu Sartonné thinks he knows precisely where life will take him. However, like the rest of the world, he is not prepared for what will come next. Decades of fear and hatred have spilled over from the nearby city of Cyrnne. The armies of the Evangelical Brethren march under the sign of the falling star, destroying all in their path and bringing with them a deadly sickness unlike anything the world has ever seen. Heilicon, the cradle of Matthieu's every ambition, is the first city to fall. It will not be the last, but if Matthieu is to see any conclusion to this war, he must escape by any means he can. He sets out into a larger world that owes him nothing and will never let him stay in one place for long. But he is not alone in his yearning for a better world. Along the way, he meets plunderers, refugees, islanders, sailors, zealots, a reluctant prophet, and a family he never knew he had. Will one of these be able to give him the peace he seeks, or are they merely imperfect men like himself? Are they even real? All he knows anymore is that some power wants him to stay alive; only time will tell if that power is God or simply his own will to survive.
