The Crownless Lands by SteScope

Welcome, traveler. Step into the Crownless Lands-a realm that should have been golden but never was. The maps still show grand borders; the songs still promise glory. But up close you'll find frayed banners, broken vows, and people trying to live between the teeth of history. Here, adventurers hunt fortunes that refuse to be found. Heroes rise late or fall early. Lives are traded, stolen, and sometimes-miraculously-saved. And the creatures? Some stalk the roads and terrorize the villages. Others arrive with a lesson sharp as a blade. And the kingdom's worst monsters wear crowns made of lies. --- What You're Getting Into: A weekly high/dark-fantasy pulp serial-fast, moody, full of intrigue, sorcery, and razor twists. Each episode lands a complete beat and ends on a cliffhanger. Where It All Unravels: A continent under a failing crown: forts crumble, roads go quiet, new rules harden. Towns and frontiers fend for themselves-more grit than resources. Bloodlines, Beasts & the In-Between: Shifts among humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and classic creatures-some scourge, some uneasy allies. How the Story Moves: Chapters leap across the map, braiding many plots into one struggle. Local skirmishes mirror the bigger fight for a crown no one can hold. The People Worth Bleeding For: An ensemble of adventurers, exiles, heirs, and schemers. Not every arc finds light-some rise late, fall early, or trade all for one mercy. Your Weekly Drop: New chapters every Thursday, 6-10k words. Each deepens the world, sharpens the cast, and drives the saga-great for weeklies and first-timers. Important Note: The story follows multiple destinies; chapters are non-sequential and jump between plots across the Crownless Lands.

[COMPLETED] This is an epic, character driven tale about love, gaining freedom, finding yourself, and overcoming hardship. Stolen away as a child, Erinne has spent her life as a slave to the orcs, a race that has been at war with humans for as long as she can remember. However, times are changing and the new Great Chieftain has forbidden the keeping of slaves in a bid to bring peace with the humans. Being freed is only the beginning. She struggles to find her place in the world as humans no longer accept her for being too "orcish" and orcs find her too human. She is stuck in between, in the heart of a war attempting to broker peace for the orcs that saved her life while she fights to survive and understand the war inside her own heart and find where she belongs. Author Note: This story is now under revision, but it took me years to write the first one, I expect it might take just as long to revise so I encourage you to please read this version, and if you like, step over and review the in progress revisions which I will be posting periodically. #1 Fantasy Romance (6/9/21) #1 Epic Fantasy (1/11/21) #1 Quest (12/2/19) #11 fantasy (12/31/19) #1 fantasy adventure (4/6/22) Update: #4 medieval (8/22/21)

Eternal War: Rise of the Darkborn by Vorneliste

Survival is war, truth is curse. On the continent of Eldendor, where the strong devour the weak, magic and Combat Aura tear the heavens asunder while the roars of dragons and magical beasts shake the very earth. Humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, seafolk, and even the legendary giants-all dwell beneath the shadow of ten thousand years of hatred, forging alliances or waging conquest, never knowing peace. A human youth struggling to survive in a brutal orc encampment, his fate seemingly bound to slavery or cannon fodder. Yet a chance encounter leads him to touch upon a forbidden truth buried for ten millennia-an origin story of terror shared by all races, an ancient war that nearly shattered the world itself. When dust-sealed bindings begin to loosen and whispers of bygone nightmares resurface, Eldendor once again teeters on the precipice of annihilation. The human youth must navigate this chaotic age where magic clashes with steel, where loyalty intertwines with betrayal, to uncover history's lies and master his own power. His choices will determine whether the entire continent greets the final dawn, or sinks into eternal darkness.

Stories Of Bitu. Mythralis by Semajthewarrior

NSFW. As always it happened on a twosday, the skies above the south of the elf kingdom Mythralis darkened as a invasion of demons decimated the lands in one dead mother's last spite filled fuck you to an invading army taking her home for silly, hard to understand and overly dumb reasons. Trigger warnings: violence, fanticy racism, sexual acts, the use of tobaco, drugs and alcohol use, the gealic language, autistic tramra, dyslecix writing.

Destined to Burn (Calthia Book 1) by me_magic12

"He was a Dragon King bound by vengeance. She was an Elf Princess born to heal-not to love a monster." When Sylmara, the last of the Silverleaf Elves, is captured by the ruthless Dragon King Valtherian, she expects death-not a war of wills that ignites her soul. Valtherian's court burns with hostility, his heart encased in scales after centuries of betrayal. But Sylmara's touch doesn't just mend wounds; it unravels the curses etched into his very bones. As an ancient darkness rises, threatening both their kingdoms, Sylmara and Valtherian must choose: surrender to the hatred between their races... or let the embers of passion forge an alliance that could save-or destroy-them all. ✨ Why You'll Love It: Enemies-to-Lovers with fiery tension and forbidden magic. "Touch Her and Die" vibes-Valtherian's possessive rage vs. Sylmara's quiet defiance. Political intrigue, dragon battles, and elf lore woven with slow-burn romance. "What if the one person you're sworn to hate is the only one who can heal you?"

We are a stubborn people, and rarely do we bend or flee against an adversity." The personal journal of High King Grungir Kirgisson. High King of Khaz-Dorn.
