It has been hard just lately for a mercenary troop to find work in a  backwater like Danskagge.  The choice may come down to working as a fire control troop for a regional princeling or else joining the navy of the worst pirate in history in an attack on the great trading  alliance.
 
Which would be better? To starve?  or to be killed in all-out fighting?

Oristides, the second in command of the troop, looks back on that hectic summer, when the world turned upside-down and the enigmatic Swordsman stepped into their midst and took matters into his own hands.All Rights Reserved

Millenium - The Tale of a Cruel World by JohnNichols13

The galaxy has seen one thousand years of bitter war. Exactly one millennium ago, The Emperor, ruler of the universe and the Saviour of the Mortal Realm, sought a large tear in the space-time continuum. He found that this tear led to a dimension home to vile demonic creatures, meant to remain imprisoned in the hellish grasp of this abyssal world. Alas, he was over-ambitious, as he entered the interdimensional portal, and was struck down by an army secretly built up by conniving demon lords to invade and pulverise the Mortal Realm. These creatures are driven by primal instincts and bitter vengeance, and strive to destroy and sow chaos and strife among their prey. Once a prosperous and thriving future for the galaxy, the empire has perished in the fires of revenge, heresy and betrayal. The foul legions of evil slaughter their way ever closer to the heart of the empire, while other threats, like terror groups, otherworldly civilisations and alien monstrosities drown entire sectors of space into bloated realms of corruption and death. There is no room for weakness or mercy. Across the vastness of space, there is only war and the echoing laughter of death and despair.

Dakyres of Ardor | BoyxBoy ✓ by DrillBurger

The alliance between the Red Stoichi Tribe and the Westerners has outlived the memories of any living Dakyre- it is as old as the realm itself. This is the story of how said alliance affects the lives of two Dakyres destined to be together. Faldrey, a water Stoichi Dakyre, loses his entire family in one day- on the day of the reoccurring Westian raids. Despite trying so hard to at least save himself, he's still gets captured and hoisted away to the Red Stoichi Tribe where he becomes a personal maid servant to the Young Mistress; the Young Tal Dane's twin sister. Eren, son of the Tal Dane, heir to the Throne of Fire, and Young Tal Dane of the Red Stoichi Tribe, finds himself powerless against what has now become the norm in the realm. Unable to get his father to reconsider their alliance with the Westies, he pays the ultimate price for speaking against them in the presence of the council of Lords. Eren and Faldrey, the eighth reincarnations of Alistair and Theobald; two cursed Ao lovers, are about to experience their first raid which wouldn't just bring them together, it would change their lives forever. A vengeful Dakyrian army, one never seen in the realm, is coming for the Tal Dane, and two lovers stand at the risk of losing everything they've built together. What does fate have in store for these two Dakyres a realm and a heartbeat apart? •Make sure to read the well detailed preamble in the book.• _________________________________________________________ NOTE: Dakyres are "people of old magic" I came up with whilst eating a bad combo of pringles and ketchup at 3am. I implore you to give this story a chance. I promise you won't be disappointed. Make sure to check the comprehensive glossary at the end for whatever confuses you.

I AM PEN by SteveSharrett

I am Pen, the sword of the Scourges, siege lord to the Dusk-Bringer army, and the commander of its "Sown-men." What you learn of me will unsettle you. Consider yourself warned. Suffice it to say, I am trapped, a rather just punishment considering my crimes. This is my story. For better or worse, I will let you be the judge, but be sure of this: if I fail, we all die.

A&D Book 1: Amulets & Demons (Editing Slowly) by TheWynncraftFury

In our world, there are two forces. One of darkness, and one of light. The forces of darkness dwell underground, in large caverns and ravines. The inhabitants of these spaces are demons, who are born of fear and anger, and thirst for it. These nightmarish creatures have one goal: slaughter the human race, and take over the world. Enter the forces of light. To them, genocide isn't that cool. They're like, "How about you NOT do that, 'k?" These shining paladins of hope (most of them, anyway) are trained to defend the world from these monsters. The guardians of the light are trained to protect at the 'Гэрэл Чапел' (The Chapel of Light). Jace, who came to the school expecting such, has spent years (one and a half) preparing himself to fight. However, he soon learns that the fight runs much deeper, and the stakes are much higher than he thought.

Shards: A Tale of the Chain of Acheron by GeraldVonKahr

After getting out of the world-hopping business, a bloody season fighting the Elves out east was just what the Chain had ordered. Guerilla warfare in the ancient forests wasn't exactly a soft job though, even for the last of the Helltroopers, and the mercenary rank and file were ready for a bit of rest in the seedier neighbourhoods of Blackbottom. A week of gambling dens and brothels would likely find most of them getting antsy enough to willingly march wherever the next Contract would take them. They didn't get a week before the next round of bloodshed. They didn't even get to sleep in. ~~~ This is a Fanfiction novella about the Chain of Acheron, based on the setting created by Matt Colville and the story of MCDM's Chain of Acheron twitch-streamed D&D game. It is an imagining of the events of Blackbottom parallel in time to the first two sessions of their campaign, and focuses on original characters and the actions of the rank and file members of the last of the Helltroopers.

Orphaned at a young age after a tragic cave-in claims his mother and a broken father, Ilaen learns to survive amidst the harsh realities of the mine, where children are seen only as future workers. As he toils in the shadows, whispers of a malevolent presence deep within the mine reach him, beckoning him to seek power and escape from his torment. One fateful night, Ilaen makes a pact with a demon, trading his life for immense strength that allows him to manipulate blood. With newfound abilities, he exacts vengeance on the overseers who tormented him, liberating the other slaves and embarking on a journey beyond the mountains. As Ilaen navigates the treacherous world outside the mine, he becomes a formidable force, using his powers to vanquish bandits and mercenaries alike. He uncovers ancient arcane knowledge, enhancing his abilities and embracing a fearsome reputation. Yet, with each act of violence and mastery, the demon's presence looms closer, a reminder of the cost of his power.

No longer a boy bound by chains, he is now a harbinger of fear and vengeance, ready to confront the darkness within and without.

Travel to France, Seventeenth Century by HadaGWG

The whirring gears of the time machine sputtered to a halt. A century's worth of anticipation dissolved into confusion. I was back... but where? My eyes, wide with uncertainty, took in the scene: a cobbled street bathed in weak afternoon sunlight, men in roughspun clothing staring with horrified faces. A scream, choked and bloody. Then it hit me. The stench of gunpowder, metallic and acrid. The realization was like a punch to the gut: I wasn't merely observing history, I was history. A young man lay sprawled on the cobbles, his lifeblood staining the stone. His vacant eyes stared into eternity, mirroring my own disbelieving gaze. This was it. This was me. How would I escape this fate? And could I even change what was already etched into the lines of time?
