A seemingly unstoppable disease is quickly spreading through the realm of Itteros. It has many names - The Shaking Death, Rooster Tongue, The Lurgy. No one knows how or why it began and no doctor or magic-worker can figure out how it's being spread. People are disappearing off the streets.
Robin is just a working-class citizen trying to help her parents make a living. She steals from the higher-class society in Obaroth to support the orphanage and because it seems to be the only thing she's good at.
Nikolas Ciardi is a high-ranking soldier in the King's Military and good friends with the Prince. Everything is going perfectly for him; there's rumour of promotion to General, the beautiful Princess Sage is looking for a suitor, and he's in good graces with the King of Obaroth.
The unlikeliest of comrades must find a way to stop the Lurgy from killing more people, and the King of Obaroth has a plan. Willing or unwilling, they must journey to the mining town Gomulyn to retrieve an antidote that can stop the Lurgy.

Who will Arise?
Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.Complete
Demon Lord: King of Catastrophe
Warning R18+ : This story is full of violence, sexual scenes, nudity, and Mature content. If you don't like that kind of story, then this story is not for you. This story is a modification of my old story. But if you're just looking for sex scenes in this story, I suggest waiting until chapter 10. Because this story also has an important plot that sometimes doesn't have sex scenes. Synopsis : It tells the story of Erian, who was betrayed by a woman when he lived on earth. He was killed and reincarnated as a demon king in another world. Erian, who previously had a weak body, changed drastically when he got a new body. He became a tyrant demon king who continued the war with other races. He is also destined to face the hero summoned by the human race. War will cause a lot of destruction. That's why the world's balancing system moves. The system came back to life because the potential for destroying the balance of the world had emerged since Erian's arrival.

Nursery Rhymes for Adults ✔️
Update [21-08-2021]: Hi! I'm the author of Nursery Rhymes for Adults. I'm coming back to make some drastic changes to this story. I wrote this when I was in my edgelord-phase [17-18 y/o- ish]. I used racial caricatures, and racially offensive language back then, something which I don't stand by anymore. I don't feel comfortable having this on Wattpad if I don't change it. I don't condone racism anymore, even if it's "just a joke, bro". I hope you have a spectacular day! 😊 Plot: Alexander is walking outside the woods to express his frustration, only to be met with a sexy hunk, with a crown on his head. The hunk, Corona, seemed interested in Alexander because he was a disease-free human, and Corona lusted after Alexander. He wanted to infect him with his virus.Complete
Riku operation babysitter 3 chaos in the veins
Welcome back to the most dysfunctional family in hero history! The grandkids are in high school now, Fid is somehow smart (and nobody's ready for that), and Riku... well, Riku just had another baby - little Rikarius, a giggling lightning gremlin who eats waffles faster than physics should allow. But things take a chaotic turn when Riku starts coughing up blood - not the dramatic "anime cool guy" way, but the "someone call Lytework before I short-circuit" way. The Chaotic 5, the grandkids, and what's left of everyone's sanity band together to find a cure for the mysterious "Thunder Virus" before Riku turns into a walking lightning battery. Expect explosions. Expect jokes that should've been illegal. Expect Fid quoting Einstein while Riku tries to eat the test tubes. Between blood tests, school detentions, and Venm nearly blowing up the hospital, the only constant is chaos-chaos with heart, waffles, and shocking puns that'll have even Crim facepalming. Because when your family's the cure and the problem? That's not medicine - that's Operation Babysitter 3: Chaos in the Veins.Complete
Magical Misappropriations
The life of a thief is hard, but glamorous. With enough money, even the lowest-born citizen of the shining jewel of Voughtberg can carve out a comfortable niche, enjoying the silent prestige that comes with it. The watchmen doff their hats at the masters, and after nights of derring-do, they retire to their hidden beds, and beautiful men and women. Or so Roland and Jochim have heard. Unfortunately, they're still stuck doing whatever task is assigned to them by their miserly employer. Whatever pittance they are gifted has to be supplemented by mundane work under the burning sun, shoulder to shoulder with the sweating masses of the city. These, however, are the necessary burdens for the future they desire, burdens that have been shouldered by generations of thieves. Certainly, nothing so capricious that the accidental theft of a simple paintbrush could disturb it... Imagine the surprise when after its discovery, they are pursued by strange men, and stranger monsters, intent on their death, and the brush's retrieval. With only their wits, and the help of a few friends, the pair of thieves are thrown into a struggle to find out the mystery of the strange artifact before they, or the life they cling to, are lost forever.Complete
Serenus - Sarcastic Newcomer Edition
So, here we are, all of us, lost in this mystical realm with zero memory of where we came from. It's like we all took the world's worst vacation, and now nobody can find their way back home. And guess what we have to guide us? A poem. Because why bother with maps or instructions when you can have cryptic, poetic nonsense? It's almost like Serenus wants us to play a twisted game of "figure it out before you die." Now, the world itself is a total trip. It's a magical land where anything is possible, except, apparently, for things making sense. But don't let the pretty flowers and magical buffets fool you-something's not quite right in this enchanted Eden. You've got all these resources lying around just begging to be used for peace, justice, and all those other warm, fuzzy ideals. It's like someone set up the perfect civilization starter kit, but forgot to mention that some of these folks are dead set on turning this dreamland into their own personal dystopia. And with their magical abilities, they're like toddlers wielding chainsaws-adorably dangerous, but mostly just dangerous. Meanwhile, me and my merry band of misfit friends are stuck trying to save this world from self-destruction. Because apparently, we're the only ones who read the brochure about this place being a "civilized society based on values." And while we're at it, I'm also on a little side quest to answer the age-old question: Who am I? It's not like I have bigger things to worry about, like, I don't know, preventing magical Armageddon or anything. With a charming mix of wit, sarcasm, and a healthy dose of "what-the-heck-is-going-on," the story of Serenus follows our nameless protagonist as they unravel the mysteries of this strange land, all while trying to avoid becoming dino-chow or the latest victim of a magical mishap. It's a tale of self-discovery, magical frisking, and just trying to survive another day in this oh-so-serene-and completely crazy-world.Complete

Years of pain and torment have stripped him of his humanity, leaving only a thirst for vengeance.

Not to save others, but to destroy those who wronged him and carve a path to absolute power. Twisted by tragedy and driven by revenge, Raven will use everything and everyone to rise higher in this new world. How far can a broken man climb in a reality where power decides all? Join him as he paves his path to the top, no matter the cost.
