It is a turbulent epoch in the history of the mortal plane. Mighty armies stand poised on the brink of war as the rapidly expanding Elucidian Empire encroaches further into the realms of the Nesuari Confederacy, defying decades of treaties. The Dread Lords, long ago exiled to the Far Reaches for the foul alchemical practice of necromancy, have put aside ancient feuds for the sake of an uneasy alliance against the lands of the living. It is not only force of arms that threatens order, however; far more insidious forces gather in the darkness and in the magical plane of the Beyond. The Eternal Empress Elucia, cognisant of this, has deployed her inquisitorial agents to root out the Blight of the Beyond, wherever it may be found. In the city of Dunpool, such forces conspire, and the chain of events that will come to be known as The End of Days begins to unfold.

Promise of the World [Canaan, Book 1] by Chryiss_Rose
12 parts Complete
Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after twenty years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity's existence. - Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction - Expectations for this Story: Immersive adventuring experience inside an intricate, magical world. Vivid imagery and deep characterization. Quirky magic system with mysterious elements and history. An original spin on the classic portal fantasy/isekai/waking up in another world interweaved with a science fiction twist. Scattered allusions and easter eggs. Builds expectations of future events to then defy that prediction. Slow-burn romance and complex, realistic relationships. Seriousness with a dash of humor. [August 3, 2021 Update Notice: The new revised and final version before book 2 will be up on August 8th on Royal Road. See you there!]
SEVEN MOONS by Brooklyn_nicole3
17 parts Ongoing
Many moons ago, the world of Vahldria flourished with Fae in abundance. As time moved on, so did its inhabitants. War was inevitable. And what was once Vahldria, is now split among boundaries, and the Fae no longer exist here. After everything, their magic and peculiar portals were left behind. Each boundary is ruled by a leader of their own kind. However, Nastaeria is known for its nasty business with the Videguard, a group of assassins whose purpose is to serve their owner. Novalie Venantius was born into the Videguard, alongside her wolf, Shiloh. Deemed an assassin at a young age, she began dipping her hands into a dangerous world of theft, trade, and murder. When word crosses Nova that the King placed a bounty on her, she is determined to leave Nastaeria immediately. Her owner gives her the only option of traveling to the old Fae land of Vahldria, where she tries her best to ignore the people who reside here: the Aiken. Following the mission her owner gave her, Nova is tasked to behead an unknown rebel of Vahldria. Upon finding her target, she is met with an unlikely character and more questions than answers. When worlds collide with the Princes of Vahldria, Nova finds herself in the mix of a very dangerous plan. Unfortunately, one problem exists, the signature sign of a Fae creature: her burning blue eyes. Nova faces betrayal in the ones she trusts, friendship with unexpected people, and love, something she has never allowed herself to feel since her mother passed. She begins a new life that she never could have imagined. A life that she is torn between giving up and continuing to pursue. But how many more deaths could she handle? Did her owner deceive her? Or help her? How far would she go for answers? And the one question that she can not stop asking. Where did her ancestors, the Fae, go?

Coriandra Torvetius is a member of a ruling class gifted with extrasensory abilities and the daughter of one of the most powerful men in the Praelectus, The Decimus, ruler of Arx Natanis Decem. A towering giant with crimson skin and the ability to inflict pain on others with his mind, Janos Torvetius is responsible for security for all twelve of the Arx Natanae in which the ruling class live, as well as the ongoing eradication of the gift-less Inferiorbus humans still living on the surface of the planet. Despite tremendous pressure on Cora to be as exceptional as her family, all assessments of her extrasensory abilities have led to a feeble and undesirable Array of gifts, making her a less-than-desirable match for marriage in a society centered around selective breeding to increase the power and range of superhuman abilities. Finally, and well after most of her peers, her father's influence and position have wielded a suitable arrangement with an up-and-coming member of her father's ranks, Praefectus Adjutrix Dominic Arcadia. The reputable Arcadia family's long and storied history in restoring the power of the Praelectus and establishing a golden age of rule by the Exemplares and Superiores, unburdened by the denser energies of Inferiorbus, came at a moral cost and their cunning and cruelty is unmatched. Dutiful and timid, Cora is unaware that her body is hiding a strange and powerful secret that demands to be discovered before it kills her. Hidden from even her mind-reading father's awareness, she is a latent weapon that can be wielded for great good or great evil, depending only upon who discovers her true abilities first. NEW CHAPTERS RELEASED EVERY WEDNESDAY NOTE: written between 2017-2022, edited 2024.
