Immortality ends in darkness.

The Nix has lived almost three hundred years. He has served the throne and watched it pass from ruler to ruler, corruption more rampant with each generation. He has carefully bided his time and spread his influence across the realm, waiting for a chance to remake the crown, the country, and eventually the world in his image, willing to kill and destroy however he must to achieve his ends. Armed with dark power and centuries of preparation, he's almost ready to strike. But one snowy night when a band of adventurers stumbles into the palace, bloody and half frozen, his long life is flipped upside down. 

The adventurers are hunting down a legendary artifact that can instill absolute obedience in anyone, a hunt that almost killed The Nix decades earlier. Even more remarkable is Lily, an untrained immortal, the only other immortal he's ever known. The Nix plans to extort these people for all they're worth, but he quickly realizes killing off the last of his humanity isn't as easy as it sounds. Confronted with an undesired attachment to the adventurers and a protégée to give him purpose, he must make a choice he never thought he could: endless power or a peaceful eternity.All Rights Reserved

Born with Magic and Misfortune by _Sallachi_

In this world, there are few portals to another world full of magical creatures. From time to time few wander to the other side causing misfortunes to the poor humans of this world, who don't know anything about magic. There have been cases where a normal human has learned about it and tried to conquer it. Consequently, the existence of the Portals has been made into a secret that only a few know. Thus, it's easy to abuse the use of them for those who come to know about them... Nixie has finally managed to get a job but on her first day at the job, something happens: A magical crystal exposes her hidden magic powers. Thus begins her journey, though against her will. But Nixie hasn't once given up in her life so she aims to fight back again. Come and join to read the story of Nixie! -sallachi- Additionally, in May 2020 I've created a RoyalRoad account (sallachi) where the story can be found as well.

The Exiled King by Calagtic

Book 1 & 2 | Sunday Updates "The world will return to the nothingness that it was birthed from if the truth is not unveiled." Guardian powers have been passed down for centuries, until they disappeared after a devastating war. Now, 50 years later the powers reappear in six unsuspecting youths who have their lives turned upside down in an instant. Faced with their newfound powers and the responsibilities that come with them, they learn that their world may very well be destroyed if they cannot stop the enemy who wishes to destroy it. Punished by the gods and locked away for centuries, a mysterious wizard escapes his confinement and plots to unleash hordes of demons on the mortal world. But it could all just be an elaborate ruse to cover up something more sinister brewing beneath the surface... See the worlds through the eyes of the young guardians as they embark on an epic, world-spanning journey to discover themselves, their powers and, above all, if they will be the ones to save their world or destroy it. But in a world where all is not as it seems, the guardians must tread carefully, or all hope may be lost... forever. "I enjoyed this book.

The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy) by chlo_dance

Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.

Tempting Darkness [17+] ✔ by Daydream1011

Copyrighted 2020 **Book 1 in the Darkness Series!** **Completed!** *Under construction* There was a creature locked away miles beneath the stone streets of Deshua, Oregon. A monster with the body of a man, jet black eyes of a soulless demon, and even darker feather wings cascading from its back. Those foolish enough to believe its unnatural, ethereal beauty would call it a fallen angel. The immortals who inhabited the town knew better. They knew to call it daemonium-demon. Forced asleep by a council who believed in the greater good, many revered the monster. Yet the town's eternal population was torn in two. Half awaited the day for the foretold cursed soul to come and resurrect their lord and the other half feared it just as much. And guess who got to be that lucky bitch. *No love triangle* -&- **WARNING** This book WILL have mature, adult content! Please be aware of this before reading.

Maybe she was the sweetest princess. And maybe not. She had many suitors, but she did not accept a single proposal for her hand in marriage.

The Immortal and The Undying by TLG_Tako

She has gained a reputation for being the "Undying Adventurer," despite the fact that she absolutely hates it. Each misstep leads her to accidental deaths-whether she's falling off cliffs, getting hit by runaway carts, or skewered by enchanted swords-only to revive an hour later, to her endless frustration. Meanwhile, he has become a jaded royal guard, wishing for the death that never comes. His immortality is both a blessing and a curse, driving him into battles, hoping for one fatal mistake that will never happen. He's grown cold, distant, and sarcastic, completely resigned to his fate as an elf who will never find peace in death. "The Immortal Sentinel." When she's hired as the newest royal guard-mostly because of her strange ability to come back to life-their reunion is anything but normal. The two are thrown together on a mission to protect the kingdom's young, reckless prince, who seems determined to get himself into danger by escaping the palace every now and then to visit brothels, bars, etc. Despite the serious nature of their jobs, their interactions are hilariously offbeat. While she keeps dying and coming back to life, he's constantly exasperated by her carefree attitude towards death. Slowly, their old bond rekindles, with her light-hearted nature gradually pulling him out of his morbid mindset.

A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira

[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.

It was all good, and to top it off: She would spend a few weeks with her archaeologist dad in Europe, he was doing some excavation project there. But that trip became a nightmare for her when the archaeologist team became perfect means to unearth what had been buried for centuries. Something that should have remained buried. A demon lurking beneath the earth. A secret order of immortals. A man with his own dark past and origin. A powerful weapon that could tilt the balance of the battle between the good and the evil. Charlotte was caught in the middle of it all, and the only way for her to have a chance to survive was this: A marriage between the light and the darkness.
