In the last inhabited town on earth, on a misty island, in a black ocean lives a boy named Rafael. Rafael lost his first and only love to the sea, and now is apprenticed to her father, an alcoholic ex-sea captain, haunted by an unquenchable conviction and an undying grief. 

When a prophetic hermit meets an uncanny death, Rafael and his friends begin to suspect the world they had been taught to accept is not the true world. Their reality begins to turn inside out as they discover what's really been going on in the woods, and behind the closed doors of the College. As the voice of a ghost begins to guide Rafael, he begins to wonder why he recognizes her voice; and what could she mean by the "Helm of Nations"?

Rafael has no choice but to open his eyes to reality, and the real world is nothing like he'd ever imagined.

The Awakening by NarrativeNest8708
9 parts Ongoing Mature
At 37, Cambry Keller has spent her entire life feeling as if something was just a bit... off. Her job, her relationships, her home-all perfectly ordinary, yet there was always a nagging feeling deep within her that she was meant for something more, something extraordinary. But nothing ever changed, and soon, she resigned herself to the quiet monotony of her life. Until the fall after she turned 37. In the span of a single autumn, everything Cambry thought she knew about herself-and the world around her-was turned upside down. Strange dreams begin to haunt her nights, filled with forgotten symbols and places she's never been, yet feels intimately familiar. Her body begins to change in subtle, unexplainable ways: heightened senses, a newfound connection to the natural world, and the inexplicable ability to influence the elements. As the leaves fall, Cambry uncovers long-buried family secrets that reveal her true heritage: a powerful bloodline with ties to an ancient mystical order. The dormant magic within her awakens, and Emily finds herself thrust into a world of enchantment, danger, and ancient forces vying for control. Her journey of self-discovery leads her to allies and enemies, both human and supernatural, as she grapples with the powerful abilities she never knew she possessed. But as her powers grow, so too does a looming threat. Cambry must learn to control the magic that now courses through her veins, or risk not only her life, but the fate of the world. In this transformative season, Cambry will come to understand that she is not just different-she is extraordinary. And the time for her true purpose has finally come.
The Demon of Saint-Eli by riversmelodie
1 part Complete Mature
When a young devout woman seek out his help, the mysterious private investigator Simeon Engels knows that something peculiar is happening behind the masquerade of the town's most powerful man. But he will need to be careful... for justice can very easily be mistaken for bloodlust. The first ever short story of mine to earn a Mature filter (as it typically makes me uncomfortable to write dark and gritty stories), and, another first, one completely outside of the universes of my previous stories. It's completely standalone, with its own mythology and fantasy/realism rules, etc. Which made it even more so liberating, as I no longer needed to stick within an existing continuity in terms of what's possible and what's not. The Demon of Saint-Eli is the introduction (in an hopefully long collection of short stories) of an OC that I have come to love the concept for months: Simeon Engels, the mysterious private investigator that hides a greater secret than anyone could ever guess. At first wishing it to be a Victorian/film noir hybrid, I changed it instead to a steampunk setting, that allowed a greater range of what could be integrated in the story. Overall, I hope you enjoy this story. I hope to make it into a collection of stories revolving around the adventures and character development of Simeon Engels, and I hope that you will find him as interesting as I conceptualize him to be. 9th May 2021: this story is now part of a sale of art for charity. This will remain up for previewing the stories, but upon purchase, will be removed from Wattpad.

We Will Find Our Redemption by karmaawhy
27 parts Ongoing Mature
Welcome to a world inspired by the haunting lore of the acclaimed games, Darkest Dungeon I and II, crafted by the masterful hands of RedHook Inc. Games. This narrative is a transposition, a daring exploration into the abyss of the Darkest Dungeon universe. The ethereal essence of these games, with their ominous atmospheres and foreboding narratives, serves as the fertile ground upon which this story sprouts its sinister roots. A convergence of dread and fascination awaits, paying homage to the visionary developers who birthed this grim masterpiece. A symphony of darkness awaits, each chapter resonating with the echoes of despair and the crescendo of haunting melodies. As you immerse yourself in this odyssey, remember that the rights to the titles, names, graphics, and all other details lie with the Development Team and the modders who birthed the original visions. This novel is a labor of love, a tribute to the creators who have given life to nightmares and the modders who have extended its reach. So, dear reader, embrace the shadows, for within them lies a tapestry of fantasy woven with threads borrowed from the very fabric of Darkest Dungeon's essence. Your journey begins, and the darkness beckons. Enjoy, but tread carefully, for the boundaries between reality and nightmare may blur, and the echoes of the dungeon may linger even after the final page is turned. I highly suggest to read this without looking into any website linked down here to avoid possible spoilers.
