    Vettaiyan is a dark fantasy novel set in a fractured kingdom where monsters are not born, but created by war, betrayal, and fear. Following Thevan, a feared hunter from an outlawed order, the story explores a world where magic is failing, propaganda has turned people against their protectors, and ancient powers are quietly maneuvering toward another catastrophe. As Thevan uncovers the truth behind the rising horrors alongside unlikely allies, he is forced to confront a reality where killing beasts is easier than dismantling the lies that made them. Gritty, morally complex, and rooted in folklore, Vettaiyan blends brutal realism with epic fantasy to question who the real monsters truly are.

    |SEASON 1 OF THE PRINCE OF ALMIA · COVERS THE FIRST GEM GUARDIAN| | WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM| A chance encounter with Top Ranger Kellyn whisks Ash and his friends away on a new adventure to the Almia Region, where they must uncover the mystery of the Rainbow Birds and protect them from nefarious outside forces. *** Sixteen-year-old Kellyn, still a new Top Pokémon Ranger, has been stationed in the Sinnoh Region for a while, clearing mission after mission. However, when he's unexpectedly called back to Almia with concerns about the Rainbow Bird Pokémon, Parity and Blue-Bird, he never expects to run into Ash, Brock, and Dawn again, who ask to go with him. Although reluctant, Kellyn agrees they can come, as long as they keep their distance and let him complete his mission himself, but that proves difficult with Ash's clumsiness, curiosity, and love for Pokémon--and when the mission turns out to be more dangerous than Kellyn thought. When nefarious forces rise, the Pokémon team must work together before it's too late for not only them, but also all of Almia and Sinnoh. Nonetheless, Kellyn is not too eager to ask for help. *** * A Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia and Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension fanfic.* * A Pokémon Rainbow and Blue (my own region) story.* *Main tropes: grumpyxsunshine (not graphic), found family, slowburn.* *Moral: "Don't be afraid of failure."*

    "Remove yourself by morning." Four words, perfectly polite, erase twenty-one years of perfect obedience. Top of every class, first-try bar exam, posture flawless; yet never enough. Cast out into the rain with one small suitcase, she saves a girl from a speeding truck. She dies. She wakes again; this time as something else. For the first time in two lifetimes, a single thought burns brighter than fear: "If perfection was all I had... what am I when I let it go?" ••• Hello there! If you don't mind, please do give my story a chance. It's a simple Tensura x Oc or rather Rimuru x Oc story with a twist. I wanted to expand upon the world building of Tensura world instead of the power fantasy part. Of course, it's still a power fantasy. I hope I could find some reader who found my story pleasing.

    She notices what she shouldn't. He notices her anyways. In a quiet coastal village left off most maps, Kage has learned how to live between glances. She bakes bread before dawn, helps run a market stall by midday, and leaves offerings to the Old Gods out of habit rather than belief. She knows the world is larger than mortals are meant to understand, but like everyone else, she has learned that keeping your head down is safer than asking questions. Then the dreams begin. Strange, vivid dreams that leave her restless. Flickers of light she cannot explain. Moments that make her wonder if she is imagining things, or finally noticing what has always been there. When Kage is summoned to a neutral institute watched by powerful forces, she finds herself surrounded by heirs, warriors, and figures who seem certain of what they are meant to become. She is not. Among them is Kaleen, an heir of the sea who keeps his distance and watches her with open distrust. He is disciplined, guarded, and clearly aware of rules she does not yet understand. Where others dismiss her, he notices. Where she questions, he withdraws. Their interactions are restrained, uneasy, shaped by tension rather than trust. But proximity has a way of eroding certainty. As old powers stir and the balance of the world begins to strain, Kage must decide who she is willing to become, and whether the shadows she carries exist to hide her... or to protect something far more dangerous than she ever imagined. © Anne Starks.

    On the planet Domagna, six great geodoms compete for omnidimensional hiccup energy-a rare cosmic force that appears only once every 50,000 years and holds the power to alter the course of civilization itself. Pace Barley, a young man from the geodom Benign, is drawn into a vortex of political conspiracy, intercontinental war, and transdimensional conflict against dark entities that lurk beyond reality. In his attempt to save his family and closest friends-and to unite a fractured Domagna-Pace uncovers the planet's deepest cosmic secrets, forms a group known as the Integritor, and leads a resistance that expands from the lands of Domagna into outer space, confronting an existential threat that rises from within the planet to the star systems beyond. Domagna is an original science-fiction world set on a futuristic planet divided into six geodoms and many smaller kingdoms, featuring hundreds of unique terms and an intricately connected system of power, culture, technology, and cosmology. It is a large-scale, cinematic adventure driven by profound character transformation and moral consequence. A fallen empire. Submerged brilliant giants. Mysterious fair folk dwelling in trees. Dwarves vanishing into ice. Bionic bulls beneath the ground. Space travel, power, love, and sacrifice- all exist in Domagna.

    Ashborn Legends follows Aeron, a boy living in the fractured city of Vaeroth, where political corruption and ancient magic simmer beneath the surface. When a violent riot erupts, a dormant power inside Aeron awakens-a fire unlike anything seen for centuries and tied to the long-lost Ashborn lineage. His sudden transformation attracts the eyes of powerful factions, from street Guilds to the Sovereign's masked enforcers, each eager to claim or destroy the power now burning within him. As Aeron flees through a city unraveling with secrets, he stumbles into a larger conspiracy involving forgotten gods, forbidden magic, and a prophecy linking him to Vaeroth's destruction-or salvation. Forced to ally with strangers who may be enemies, Aeron must learn to control the fire inside him before it consumes the world. Ashborn Legends blends epic fantasy, anime-style energy, and deep worldbuilding into a story of identity, destiny, and the flames that shape us.

    When Varn Rai accidentally falls into the Void World, he first assumes it's just another forest-one overflowing with monsters. But very soon, he realizes the truth-this isn't just a world, it is a living labyrinth. Here, technology refuses to work. Only primitive weapons, raw instinct, and sheer courage can keep a person alive. Every time a creature dies, a mental announcement echoes in the mind of the one who delivered the final blow... And sometimes-only by pure luck-a Beast Soul is granted: armor, weapon, aura, or something far beyond imagination. People believe Rai is a Nullcode-a bringer of bad luck, a danger magnet, the weakest among them. He is rejected, cast out, and abandoned alone amidst the monsters. But something within Rai is awakening... Something humanity has never witnessed before. What begins as a small struggle for survival slowly transforms into a legend. Hidden camps, lethal zones, unknown beast evolutions, sacred bloodline monsters-and a mystery so colossal that its revelation will shake the entire universe. And while humanity forges interstellar alliances... Rai will uncover a secret capable of redefining human evolution itself. This is not just survival. This is evolution. This is the rise of the Voidbreaker.
