Fifteen-year-old Raim lives in a world where you tie a knot for every promise that you make. Break that promise and you are scarred for life, and cast out into the desert.  Raim has worn a simple knot around his wrist for as long as he can remember. No one knows where it came from, and which promise of his it symbolises, but he barely thinks about it at all - not since becoming the most promising young fighter ever to train for the elite Yun guard. But on the most important day of his life, when he binds his life to his best friend (and future king) Khareh, the string bursts into flames and sears a dark mark into his skin.  Scarred now as an oath-breaker, Raim has two options: run, or be killed.

IN THE END IS FOUND THE BEGINNING - BOOK 1 by eleanorseb

A/N: This is a slow-burn, mythic love story that spans eons. No explicit scenes. Only soul-deep longing, ancient prophecies, and names written in stars. This story is for readers who love romance that feels like poetry and fate. -- Before Time had a name, the Divine Dyads were unmade by the Dark. Now, Their scattered fragments-the Star Shards-must find each other across the Wheel of Rebirth. In a quiet village veiled in bamboo and mist, a sacred Flower blooms-and from it, a child is born. Zhū MìHuā, the Vermillion Secret Flower. Raised in ritual and mystery, she is the first of the Starborn. But far beyond her hidden grove, a boy descends. Chéng Xīngchén, the Prince of Heaven's Path-his name a prophecy, his presence a spark. Together, they are Light and Flame, Path and Bloom-two halves of a Celestial truth that could awaken the gods...or unmake the stars. For their names are more than names. They are echoes of a love older than the sky. And Destiny, once whispered, cannot be undone. -- WHEN THE WEAVER CHILD AWAKENS, THE STARS WILL REMEMBER THEIR SONG -- She was the First. The First of the Star Shards. The Reincarnation of the Pattern that Never Ends. The Spark from which all others would descend. He was made for her. Drawn to her by a Destiny older than Time. Her Fate carved in stone. His, forged in her light. Her existence made his possible. Through her, all others were called into being. Together, they were a myth written in the stars. Spindle of Fate. Flame of the Loom. Breath of the Stars. Path of the Prophecy. Born of the Primordial Dyads. Tears of the Mother Goddess. Seed of the Beast of the South. The Weaver Child. Priestess. Mother. Queen Consort. Way-Maker. Destiny Changer. Now, as ancient powers stir and celestial alignments awaken, her choices will shape not just one fate - but the Fate of all. In her hands lies the story of Heaven and Earth.

that one SWURD by xyltharion

Long ago, when the world was young and humanity struggled against the forces of chaos, the gods intervened. They forged a sword, not as a weapon of destruction, but as a gift of hope. Each god poured a fragment of their essence into it-courage, wisdom, resilience, and strength. It's a sword meant for everything possible. For centuries, the blade lay hidden, waiting for the right moment to be discovered. It wasn't buried in gold or locked away in a grand vault-it rested quietly in the heart of the earth, untouched and unseen, until the time was right. When the first hand grasped the hilt, the sword came alive. Its surface shimmered with an otherworldly glow, a promise of the power within. The one who found it didn't know the gods had shaped it, nor did they understand the weight of what they held. But the sword recognized them. It responded to their strength, their resolve, and their needs. As the blade cut through the darkness for the first time, it wasn't just its edge that brought change. It was the force behind it-the will to fight for survival, for something greater than fear. With every swing, the sword grew brighter, stronger, as if it fed not on blood but on purpose. Though the gods forged the blade, it wasn't theirs anymore. In that moment, it became part of humanity, a bond between the divine and mortal worlds. And for the one who wielded it, the sword was more than steel and magic-it was a companion, a guide, and a silent promise: you are not alone. Thus began the sword's journey, not just as a tool of battle, but as a symbol of what humanity could become. And though its path was just beginning, the gods knew it would go on, far beyond what even they could imagine. (this is my very first novel. I got my inspiration from a nail clipper)

The Imprisoned Dragon - Blade, Dan Heng IL by AnotherCupOfGreenTea

Blade held the chains and pulled to force the figure to get out of the shadow. His crazy and excited bloody smile disappeared once he noticed what he had in front of his eyes. The man had long black hair, he was on the ground, catching his breath, before trying to raise his head and show the swordman A beautiful blue, the sea, the serendipity. A terrifying red, the blood shed by many in the battlefield, the anger. Their eyes met as two opposite world in that moment did. Blade was crouching, his right hand had his long sword, the other was keeping the chain that was connected to those around the neck of the man he had in front. His eyes laid on the tail and the jade horns of the guy who was still catching his breath. Blade smirked insanely and pulled more up the chains, forcing the man to be closer to him. Blade let his sword on the ground, to reach out the chin of the prisoner, to keep his head up and force to meet again his cold red eyes "Well well, what's a dragon doing here, chained in this forgotten temple?" *** It's going to be BL, so just you know, I got inspired by these two, so I had to write with them as main characters

Substance abuse. Brief torture. Part 4 much of the same Part 5 more deaths of major characters, and graphic violence Part 6...you know what 'Game of Thrones meets Dune' pretty much covers it!

Tears from the sky by Bdot424

" Dont let the fire fade my dear" Those words never made sense to Kallen no matter how many times he heard them. She always said he had a fire under his feet but he never understood why. Not until he was branded with a mark. A mark that came with a voice. One he couldn't get rid of and one he would have to live with. A voice that would lead him to a world he had never heard about. A world that was his and one he couldn't imagine exsisted. Kallen has been tasked to find the Seven pieces of the holy grail. This grail can grant whoever holds it any wish they may desire. No matter the cost, the price, or severity. Kallen will have help in the form of the Insignias but he must be aware that they are the hunted. He will be against the Court of Diamonds and they will stop at nothing to reform the grail as well. The Race has started and only one side can win, only one side shall win. The question of which side gets to win is what hangs in the balance Many have wandered in search of the grail and many have fallen victim to the wish they want granted. Who will be the one to bring the pieces together and what will that person wish for?

Paths Beyond (Under Rewrite) by DeoxyNAcid

In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.
