There's no looking back. 

As the enforcer of the good, the Champion must battle the evil that threatens the human civilization. He has no origins to clutch onto for his insecurities; however, he still marches onward, ravaging the wicked to realize his distant dream of becoming a hero. He hopes for the day he is hailed as a legend, never to be forgotten by even the most frail and feeble.

However, his worst foe is the darkness that settles within him, uncontested and thirsty for control. It threatens to consume him, to pour out in uncontrolled fury as an empty past continues to haunt him. 

His sole anchor to the mortal world is Shimmer, a gifted magician who tames the other-worldly champion like a prized stallion. Without her, he will succumb to the evil voice that would make him spiral into turmoil along with everything else. Even with a guiding light, the Champion is still lured by eternal darkness, where he will be lost forever with nothing to save him. Desolation will be his only company. In the war between choice and fate, which one will emerge as the victor?

The Fall of Vequera by storiesbyandy_

(Editing/ 2nd draft rewrite in progress) Book one in "The Reign of The Flame" series "If she became queen, she would be the end of us all." A disinherited princess and a kingdom on the verge of ruin. The birth of twins were once a joyous occasion in Vequera but in the year 602 C.E, it was anything but. A first-born daughter with a golden eye and a second-born son. The realm feared what the daughter would be capable of. None knew of her power or what she would do in the future if she became queen, so the throne was given to the second son in hopes he would save their house from possible ruin. Over the course of her life, she was neglected by her mother for being different like the "demons of the west." She began to harden as the years passed her by and the abuse she endured intensified until one day, she snapped, killing someone. The queen sends her away in order to keep the nobles at bay but little did she know that her decision to do so would cause the fall of everything she held dear. The fall of Vequera.

The Age of Solace: The Silver Wolf by -loneXwolf97-

Volume 1 of the "Age of Solace" series. (Part 1 of 4). A serious dark-fantasy story. Descriptive violence and gore, as well as dark themes (Rated M, no lemons present). Peace. Conflict. War. Bloodshed. This is the way of things, and this is what happened between the dragons and mankind. Once they were allies. Man was ever growing and learning, while dragons were their guardians, watching over them. But mankind was greedy, and from that greed bred betrayal towards their great allies. In times long ago, dragon and man worked together to rid their realms of the demonic presence that once invaded their lands. Together, they defeated that enemy. But now, dragons are near extinct and the demonic menace has returned. There are humans that possess abilities that allow them to fight back, but it is not enough. Such humans have banded together, in a group called Corvin's blades. They hope to be able to defeat their enemy without the aid of dragons this time... but there is more to all of this than anyone understands. This story follows multiple youthful characters as they not only aid in the fight against the demonic threat, but learn and grow as they discover more about the lands they live in and of themselves. Views on dragons are changing, demons and spirits are invading, and two individuals are in the center of everything that is happening. Was it fate and destiny... or choice and coincidence? *Rated M for descriptive violence and gore, as well as dark themes* * Chapters to be updated* *Cover art was made by myself.

The Hero by Archdav

Being a king wouldn't be all that hard, right? After taking the crown by force, the Champion undertakes the kingly role. Still, he has one goal in mind, yet he remains blind to what's around him. Unrest builds within the kingdom he dreams of leading to victory and improving beyond what a normal man could even hope for. All the while, a war's brewing and coming right to the kingdom that is in no shape for such an onslaught. As the commander he was trained to be, as the relentless killing machine known for massacring the orcs, the Champion has rarely changed. The title of king did little to waver his very straightforward mindset. But without Shimmer--his sole purpose for guiding the humans by their hand--without any company, he succumbs to the horrors of isolation. A hero has somebody to fight for, a motivation. How could the Champion be one, then, if he doesn't have anybody but himself? Cover made by booklored.
