They are outcasts, prey for the Sun-Blessed, who wield magic like gods and rule with an iron grip. Mila has always known what she is-a Snake, meant to bow, meant to suffer. Until the day she is thrown from the heights, left to die at the hands of the powerful. But death never comes. Her blood ignites. Her body shifts. And from the abyss, she rises-a dragon reborn. Across the golden spires, Prince Edwin is raised to believe his destiny is to command a great dragon, just as his ancestors did before him. The world is his to rule, and the Snakes are his to crush. But Edwin is soft, too kind for a world built on cruelty. He dreams of peace, of change-of a future where power isn't everything. When fate binds the prince and the dragon together, their worlds collide in a way neither could have expected. Mila is no servant, and Edwin is no tyrant-but in a world that demands they be enemies, can they rewrite the story written in their blood? A legend reborn. A kingdom on the brink.

Zeus de Academy by Joysss15

There are five kingdoms on the planet called "Earth." At a young age, the people living there would manifest and have their own elemental power. It is either fire, water, earth, ice, wind, or lightning. Earth is not a quiet planet to begin with. There are hundreds, or even more than a thousand, of people dying every day due to the fact that there are wars everywhere. The five kingdoms have been fighting and killing each other for centuries, and no one knows the exact reason; it still remains a mystery.

No matter which kingdom you are from, you can enter this academy as long as you are strong and powerful enough to pass its entrance exam. An exam that sheds blood.

117 parts Complete
Fifty years ago, demons invaded the mortal realm of Dargon, leaving a trail of destruction across the five kingdoms. The six Guardians of that generation united the kingdoms and fought back against the demons, scattering their ashes to the winds. Then, they vanished into legend, and with them, their powers. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? There are rumours that another demon army gathers in the fiery realm of the Abyss, greater than the first and led by a cunning mastermind whose motivations are unknown. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined-where it seems that things may have been set in motion long before anyone could ever have anticipated and the path forward may just be the one that ends in death.

Shadow Marked by Ruzk1997
20 parts Ongoing
In the shadowed depths of an ancient underworld, Sarah-a fiery, snarky orphan with a dangerous secret-stands at the crossroads of destiny. Born of forbidden union, she is a rare half-demon, half-witch, possessing powers that defy tradition and prophecy. Raised by the gruff yet caring demon mentor Hadran, and secretly guided by the eccentric witch Darius, Sarah learns to harness both her demonic fire and her witchcraft, mastering skills like teleportation, fireballs, levitation, and telekinesis. But as her powers grow, so does the danger. When Aldrek-a ruthless enforcer of the ancient laws-uncovers her hidden training, he deems her an abomination, a living contradiction to the natural order. Bound by a grim prophecy that foretells the downfall of demonkind at the hands of a creature with equal parts light and dark, Aldrek forces a confrontation that shatters loyalties and ignites a battle of epic proportions. Torn between the love of a father figure and the cold decree of duty, Hadran is forced to watch as Sarah unleashes her hybrid fury against those determined to destroy her. With the arrival of the ominous Demon Council and the fate of her very soul hanging in the balance, Sarah's journey spirals into a dramatic cliffhanger-one that will decide whether she becomes the savior or the downfall of two warring worlds. This is set out like a script with extra bits of detail. This is part one of my ongoing series. I have planed 3 season for this part. Please leave comments and feedback 😇

"I saw you and you were just standing there. I started walking towards you and you-just-just stood there." Stuttered Stiles. "I tapped on your shoulder and you turned around. You didn't answer me. You didn't even notice I was there. You just stared at something, something that wasn't visible and y-you-" Paused Stiles, whose legs were vibrating and he started to breathe heavily. "And I what?" I asked trying to get the words out. "You died." He stated. "What?" Asked I, like he had just said the most craziest thing ever. It was slightly humorous. He had to be joking, I thought to myself. "You- just died." Murmured Stiles, who had stopped shaking and had stood up. -------------- The world consists of many parallel multiverses. Each separate and unique. We all know Earth 1, yet not many people are familiar to the lost planet, Earth 1000. The planet was Imperium; Declared the most powerful, biggest rogue planet of the multiverse- many people sought out to rule it. Therefore a war was sparked. Some people say, that the planet birthed death because of the deadly war. However, something else was birthed, an heir. Her name was Milia. She possessed true power and ultimately ended the war. Milia ruled the world and her children became the inevitable successors. Although they lacked Milia's gift, the future generation, though it was thousand's of years later contained Milia's powers. The children were named the true heir, therefore they were hunted. No hunter was more well known than the bitch, the baddest; Methaya. Being half human, half snake, her luminescent eyes turned the living into the inanimate. To save her children, the Queen of the planet rifted her children into Earth, where they lived for 500 years, unaware of their cursed destiny. After a prophecy declaring that the oldest would die, the truth started unravelling and they learnt things- that would change things forever.

Elves were an interesting species, to say the least, and King Vaeril was just that. Although he was older than most around him, the elven age being twice the dwarven, he still seemed connected to his people. Unlike others, his parents did spoil him with riches, but he tended to hang around the poorer folks. Luckily for him, he learned to be more humble than other lords. To outsiders, the elves were looked at like "angels", being so ethereal in looks and attitude that people tended to fond over them. But this man wasn't like the rest. Falling, or well, stumbling into the king's life was not a part of the plan. He never needed an assassin, but with mercenaries in every corner, he starts to believe this man was put into his life for a reason. In the past two hundred years of existing, he's never felt this way before. This man is going to end up changing his entire life without realizing it. | Second Book of The Royal Legacies Series | • - - - - - - - - - - • - - - - - - - - - - • This will contain some language, references, blood, and violence.
