Across the ocean Book 1: On the run by Elterio_Delgard
30 parts Complete Mature
In a world not our own, Nel-Radin, history is also a heavy word, meaning that much happened, much is happening and yet more will happen. This story begins in the year 3'404 according to the Kastosian Calendar, in the small village of Gimvault, with a boy named Mayen who has no idea of what is happening beyond the stage of what he can see and understand. May it be politics with its wars, a strange and ominous creature with its deeply shrouded intents, or a prophecy speaking beyond the immediate promises it gives, a hard lesson is to be learned by Mayen. Faith and hope are the sturdiest walls and roof in the tempest of a life gone out of one's control. **TAKE NOTE** Characters in this book are meant to be in part the product of the culture they live in, meaning they won't hold to today's ideals or defend all the same causes we do. It is also meant to allow in future books some stories on social reforms.
Veiled in Light and Ruin by jemicahcolleen
20 parts Ongoing
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

The Seven Kings by MorganMathiex
1 part Complete Mature
The world is on the brink of annihilation as the Void, an ancient and malevolent force, threatens to consume everything in its path. A prophecy foretells the rise of seven destined kings who must come together to save the realm. Each possesses unique powers, born of light and shadow, yet their union is fraught with tension, mistrust, and the weight of their personal pasts. At the center of the story is Kael, a fiery and determined warrior seeking redemption and purpose. Alongside him are Elysia, a wise and enigmatic mage with a deep connection to the world's hidden truths; Nira, a skilled archer driven by loyalty and fierce independence; Serin, a scholar haunted by the burden of ancient knowledge; Lyra, a rogue whose sharp wit hides a wounded soul; and other allies whose destinies intertwine in unexpected ways. Their journey takes them through perilous trials, from haunted libraries and ancient sanctuaries to crumbling cities torn apart by the Void's corruption. They uncover fragments of the past, learning of an ancient order that once sealed the Void away, and the sacrifices it demanded. Through relentless battles and moments of reflection, they begin to understand the price of wielding their extraordinary powers: the need for balance, unity, and self-awareness. Despite their victories, the world remains scarred. Even after destroying the heart of the Void, cracks remain in the fabric of reality, threatening to fester into something worse. The seven realize their fight is not just against an external darkness but also within themselves, as they grapple with loss, duty, and the temptation of unchecked power. Amidst all this, the story shines with moments of humanity: bonds forged in fire, laughter shared after battles, and the quiet, personal struggles that make each character relatable. These moments of levity and connection serve as a poignant reminder of what they are fighting to protect-a world of fragile beauty and hope.
