    Part 2 : This story begins during the canon timeline, bridges world-breaking events, and continues past the series finale. Dracule Marya Zaleska has always lived in the shadow of her father, Dracule Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman. But Marya is no ordinary heir to a legendary name. Gifted with the enigmatic Mist Mist no Mi (Mythical Logia Achlys), she wields the power to summon the fog of death and manipulate the veil between the living and the dead. Yet, this power is both a blessing and a curse, as it binds her to a destiny she does not yet understand. Determined to escape her father's towering legacy, Marya sets out on a journey to uncover the truth about her mother, a woman shrouded in mystery who sacrificed herself to protect a secret so profound it could shake the foundations of the world. Along the way, Marya discovers fragments of her mother's past-clues that lead her to ancient ruins, forgotten battles, and a conspiracy that ties her family to the origins of the Devil Fruits themselves. But the closer Marya gets to the truth, the more she realizes that her parents' sacrifices were not just for her sake-they were to protect the world from a looming catastrophe. As the line between ally and enemy blurs, Marya must confront the darkness within herself and decide whether to embrace her deadly powers or reject them to forge her own path. "Dracule Marya Zaleska: Oni Phantom - Devil Fruit Origins" is a tale of legacy, sacrifice, and self-discovery. In a world where the past and present collide, Marya's journey will reveal the secrets her mother died to protect and challenge her to rise above the shadows of her name to become a legend in her own right. This story takes place in the # OnePiece universe involving many of the characters created by #EiichiroOda. #FinalSaga #PostCanon #BridgeLore #PostTimeskip #CanonExpansion #WorldBuilding #HighWordCount #DailyUpdate

    Could have spoilers (Some things are changed for the purpose of the story) Follow Virion Leywin into the world of Red Rising where he'll have to fight to survive. He'll fight and do what he does best within the institute as a newly reincarnated Gold. Virion is the Devil, so he'll do whatever he wants, colors are meaningless to him, titles as well. Will the power of being a gold get to his head, or will he stay the same person? Will he help or betray Darrow? What is his main goal? All will be found out as you read. For those who don't know who Virion Leywin is - He is a main character in my other story (My Beginning After the End) He's a loose cannon and will fit right into this world.

You do no have to read any of my other stories to know what is going on, I only suggest that you have some knowledge of the Red Rising Series. Disclaimer : Everything is owned by Pierce Brown.

    FOURFOLD Sci-Fi Fantasy | Long-Form Saga | Ongoing The world does not end. It updates. In the year 2126, humanity creates FOURFOLD. Not a game. Not an escape. A world. Inside FOURFOLD, continents evolve, cities remember, and time moves forward whether anyone is watching or not. NPCs carry memory. Power is not given by shortcuts, rankings, or luck, but earned through presence, patience, and consequence. This is not a story about being the strongest. It is a story about staying. FOURFOLD blends the long journey of epic fantasy with the permanence of science fiction. A world where logging out does not pause history, where victories leave scars, and where legacy matters more than levels. Planned as a 500-chapter saga, this story is written as a complete world. Acts, arcs, and consequences are already set. Read slowly. This world will still be here when you return.

    A king chose to stand. A blade fell in the rain. The world did not end - it learned to live with the consequences. In Velithar, belief is power, and silence can be deadlier than war. When a king dies beneath a torn sky, his son inherits more than a crown - he inherits the weight of decisions already set in motion. While councils argue and borders hesitate, a quiet assassin begins to understand the cost of a single night's work, and a false god tightens his grip without ever raising a blade. This is not a story about good and evil. It is a story about what remains when conviction outpaces wisdom, and the price paid by those who act - and those who hesitate. Ash Befalls the Crown is an epic fantasy of consequence, sacrifice, and the slow violence of belief.

Years later, Lucan returns to Valthera, still carrying a power that was never meant to be completed. In a world of divine order, he is the only broken note. Some gifts are blessings.

    The Poem of the Long Peace When the Frostveil stood and the seas were charted, When the last war's echo in memory faded, We built our peace on parchment and promise, And called it eternal, though we knew it was weighted. For the river knows its destination, The son knows the path of his father's blood, And the two moons know their shared sky- So too did the kings know: family before own. - From The Treaty of Westlands Promise, 1 AG

    The world of Vaeloria is a sprawling realm of ancient forests, sky-piercing mountains, and ethereal ruins left by the Firstborn Races. Magic flows through Leylines - glowing rivers of energy beneath the land - connecting every living being to the World Tree, Verdancia, said to be the source of all life and mana. Over millennia, civilizations have risen and fallen across the continents of Vaeloria, now home to many species: •High Elves: Noble, powerful, and deeply attuned to magic. They live in crystalline citadels above the clouds. •Moon Elves: Masters of illusion and prophecy, dwelling beneath the silver glow of sacred moon temples. •Wood Elves: Once protectors of the forests, now viewed as primitive and impure - their magic has faded, their lands taken. • Dwarves: Inventors and rune-forgers who live in magma-lit forges under the mountains. •Humans: Ambitious and numerous, they control most kingdoms and are both feared and resented for their expansionism. •Drakyn: A rare, ancient bloodline descended from dragons - they walk among mortals, hiding their true nature. And many other species of beings in this world. The light of Verdanica begins to fade and the balance of Vaeloria itself teeters on the brink. Kael Thornveil and his group of adventurers are on a mission to the Tree of Verdanica to ignight the light in the heart of Vaeloria and save the once great world they live in.

    In a city where magic flows like code-compiled, structured, auditable-Vex has learned to survive by being useful. They cannot cast. Every spell crashes with a fatal error no diagnostic can explain. So they've become a translator, a compiler, making everyone else's magic work while their own refuses. When wild-code appears-magic that flows from intention rather than syntax, impossible to regulate or suppress-the Mage Council sees risk. Vex sees people whose magic works differently, not wrongly. People the system rejected first. Commissioned to help eliminate wild-code, Vex must choose between the safety of invisibility and the risk of being seen. Between a career built on working around their "limitation" and fighting to prove it was never a limitation at all. A novel about systems that claim to be neutral, magic that refuses to lie, and the cost of rewriting infrastructure when you can't stay invisible anymore. Updates Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays!
