Welcome to the world of Yuonov, an Earth clone that humans created thousands of years ago. Animals soon evolved to human technology and took over the world, replacing the humans of Yuonov and learning to live in harmony from eating only plants.
Not everything in Yuonov is peaceful, though. Join Tan and her friends as they try to survive in a world with angels, demons, anti-angels, and anti-demons caught in an eternal war. As Forest Nymphs live within every crook and cranny of forest trees and the Mages keep themselves secret to protect Yuonov, Tan is but a mortal trying to make it through the world.
Tan's life isn't completely normal, though. She has a curse; she can't die. No matter how much she wants to die, she must stay alive, only spawning a demon and reviving each time she dies.
Detective, Tan's best friend since grade school, is dealing with deep, emotional issues. When he was young, somebody killed his parents. This made him a detective, and his new goal in life is to find the culprit of his parents' murder.
Watch as Tan, Detective, and other characters go through their lives and develop in the weird, paranormal and complicated world of Yuonov. Watch them become strong. Watch them become fighters.
Watch them become The Mercenaries.

Reyn has nothing but secrets. Everything she is or has ever been becomes another reason to be despised. Born of demons, pursued by justice, and haunted by regret. In the service of the Dragon Empress, Reyn hoped to find vengeance for the life she lost, but as emissaries from a distant empire arrive with an offer of friendship, Reyn is commanded not to kill the monster she's longed to destroy. Worse, she must work alongside him. Joshuan Krayson goes on the hunt. Demons and their thralls have worked in the shadows throughout history, and only a secret cabal of divine guardians has kept the Five Kingdoms from falling to ruin.

In the homeland of the spirit callers, Shan Alee and a tumultuous alliance of fey races are met by the true power of House Akazewi.

The Burning Crimson Rose by tater_t0t3
15 parts Complete Mature
Yami Atem, a once cruel and heartless king, was obsessed with power and therefore, only cared for himself. However, because of his cold heart and selfish ways, he paid the ultimate price: Becoming a hideous dragon beast. Now Yami has one year to make things right by falling in love with another, who will return those same affections, otherwise he will remain with the doomed fate of staying a dragon beast forever. However, due to his ghastly form, he has locked himself away in his castle, abandoning the idea that he could break this curse, for who could ever love a beast such as he? Yugi Motou is a young man who only wishes for someone to understand what it's like to be an outcast, to be misunderstood by the world all because you're different in some way. It may seem like a petty thing I ask for, but to Yugi, it would mean the world to have someone who knows just what it's like to feel unwanted all because you're different. However, while going to run an errand for his grandfather, Yugi accidently stumbles upon a castle with a shining blue rose to light his path, meeting the infamous Yami Atem. So then, what will come when these two meet, and can Yugi break through Yami's thick walls to restore what he has lost or will it be too late to warm his frozen heart? Disclaimer: I do no own Yu-Gi-Oh! or its characters, only the story. Parody of "Beauty and the Beast" with my own dark twist on it, and not everything will be accurate. Yami/Yugi pairing. Also, sexual themes and strong language will be present, so to young viewers, viewer discretion is advised, read at own risk

63 parts Complete Mature
Volume 1 of the "Age of Solace" series. (Part 1 of 4). A serious dark-fantasy story. Descriptive violence and gore, as well as dark themes (Rated M, no lemons present). Peace. Conflict. War. Bloodshed. This is the way of things, and this is what happened between the dragons and mankind. Once they were allies. Man was ever growing and learning, while dragons were their guardians, watching over them. But mankind was greedy, and from that greed bred betrayal towards their great allies. In times long ago, dragon and man worked together to rid their realms of the demonic presence that once invaded their lands. Together, they defeated that enemy. But now, dragons are near extinct and the demonic menace has returned. There are humans that possess abilities that allow them to fight back, but it is not enough. Such humans have banded together, in a group called Corvin's blades. They hope to be able to defeat their enemy without the aid of dragons this time... but there is more to all of this than anyone understands. This story follows multiple youthful characters as they not only aid in the fight against the demonic threat, but learn and grow as they discover more about the lands they live in and of themselves. Views on dragons are changing, demons and spirits are invading, and two individuals are in the center of everything that is happening. Was it fate and destiny... or choice and coincidence? *Rated M for descriptive violence and gore, as well as dark themes* * Chapters to be updated* *Cover art was made by myself. Please do not use my content without crediting me, and with a link to its source*
