Blood, bonds, love, and retribution; those are the morals of the world; what almost every human, beast man, dragoon or any other race believe in. However, while every kingdom on the continent of Algis have the same beliefs, their customs are all very different from each other, and these differences are what sparks war and prevents the land from creating a united nation that spreads harmony and peace. That, and an object of overwhelming power called the Aegis. With another war on the brink of awakening, this tale of surprise, suspense, and fantasy follows a vast cast of characters who will impact the realm of Algis in a multitude of ways. Everything begins with our main characters hailing from... a caravan company.

Pocket Monsters: Aura Chronicles
In the Aurian Region, the mysterious Aura Surge pulses stronger than anywhere else on the planet. This volatile energy radiates from rocks, shimmering in hues of violet and blue when activated. Sometimes, it manifests as raw aura-emerging from deep forests or streaking across the sky like divine fire. Scientists and professors remain baffled by its origin. But in their pursuit of understanding, they've created the Aura Force Shield-a microchip containing compressed aura energy that responds to life force. Once bonded to a host, it generates an invisible shield, halving incoming damage based on power disparity and preventing devastating Pokémon attacks from severing limbs or piercing vital points. Humans now wear AFS watches, granting them similar protection. Even structures can be shielded-though their defenses degrade over time, requiring yearly replacement if exposed to continuous assault. At the heart of this phenomenon is Ken, a 15-year-old boy living peacefully in his family's Pokémon daycare. Life was simple-until the Aura Surge began calling to him. Visions. Whispers. A pull toward something ancient and unknown. Now, Ken must uncover the truth: Is the Aura Surge a divine blessing meant to protect life? Or a looming threat born from something no one understands? Is it a man-made force... or a Pokémon's will? When purpose calls through the surge... will you answer? Disclaimer: This is a fan-created work inspired by the Pokémon franchise.

Shadows of the Heart
He was born royalty a tri-breed prince, the first of his kind. She was just a human girl with fire in her heart and no idea the supernatural world even existed. But the moment he found her, the bond snapped into place; wild, forbidden, and far too early. She couldn't remember. He could never forget. He watched from the shadows, hungered in silence, torn between the duty of a king and the pull of a mate the universe marked for him. She grew up not knowing he'd already chosen her. But the heat between them only smoldered, scorching beneath every stolen glance, every gift left without a name, every moment she didn't understand and every one he couldn't stop himself from creating. Because some bonds don't wait. And love like theirs? It burns before it blooms.
Reincarnated as Dragon's Sacrificial Bride
Synopsis: Aeris had never known love. As an orphan, she had spent her life yearning for warmth, for a place to call home. When she finally found someone who made her feel wanted, she clung to the illusion, believing that maybe-just maybe-she was no longer alone. But that illusion shattered the day she saw her lover in the arms of another woman. "You're pathetic," he sneered when she confronted him. And with one cruel shove, he sent her crashing against the wall. Pain struck her like a bolt of lightning, and then-darkness. She thought it was the end. Instead, she woke up in the body of a breathtaking maiden with long, silk-like black hair. Her limbs were bound, her vision blurred, and before she could even comprehend what was happening, she heard the chants of a ritual. She was being sacrificed-as a bride to a dragon. The people around her whispered prayers, their eyes filled with fear. They were offering her to him-the mighty, fearsome dragon lord who ruled these lands with fire and fury. She wasn't just anyone now. She was the chosen offering-the bride meant for the Dragon King. A being of pure darkness, a ruler feared across the world. They said he was a monster, a black-scaled dragon with a presence so overwhelming that the very air trembled in his wake. He controlled the elements and wielded power beyond imagination. He was ruthless, merciless, and unseen in his human form. No one had ever escaped his grasp. And now, she belonged to him. As the sky darkened and the great dragon descended from the heavens, his massive wings casting shadows over the trembling villagers, she finally saw him. Glowing red eyes, burning like molten fire, locked onto hers-not with rage, not with hunger, but with something unexpected. Curiosity. Possession. Fate had given her another chance. But was it a blessing or a curse? ---Complete
