A southern blademaster known as Inu is sent on a quest to track and assassinate the murderers of his Empire's ruler. Strange lands and people, hardship and trial, plus the odd monster-like fauna of the world create a wonderful and gritty experience for the seasoned shinobi.

Trained in the arts of combat, monster-hunting and tactics, Inu needs to make good use of all his skills in order to survive the eerie northern lands. 

Inu is my attempt to somehow merge philosophy and grimdark fantasy, to explore different faces of the human self, to somehow unveil the gearworks of our minds, while interlacing these inner journeys with a fast-paced, action-packed, sometimes gory narrative. 

Due to the nature of the manuscript (as I aim for around 200k words), I won't upload an entire chapter, but bits of chapters in order to make the reading experience more enjoyable for this wonderful community. 

I have been working at this book for about one year now, and I have been studying creative writing quite thoroughly ever since 2013, and I hope you will enjoy my work!

I'm waiting for your feedback (mostly the negative parts, I really want to know what must be improved).All Rights Reserved

Falling For The Fallen by ShortandDangerous

⚠️ CAUTION: UNDER CONSTRUCTION , CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN ⚠️ Copyright © 2015 by imnotshortimfunsized Life is not guaranteed. It's not something we've earned, or deserve. It's a gift that God himself has given us. It's crazy, stupid, and beautiful. But life has quite a nasty lover, death. They are in a constant tango, when one life is taken another one is given. While one family sits at a grave sight watching their loved one return to dust, another watches a beautiful baby's birth. No matter how hard we try, we can never prevent the inevitable. Like it or not, you have an expiration date. We all do. But, is everything in this life as it seems? Why is it that my life is falling apart, but a drug dealer/rapist is getting rich with his toes in the sand? Why am I being hunted? Why am I someone's prey? Why me? Why am I falling for the man that yearns to see the life drain from my body? My death has become a game of some sorts... for both of us. He tries to kill me, he fails, we spend the night together, and in the morning hes gone. To be honest., I would never admit to myself that I fell inlove with my killer... a killer that was very bad at his job... killing. I was #1 on his kill list, and I knew it. But I had always pondered on the question that still remained... If he really did get a good chance to kill me... would he do it? It had always upset me if I had pondered on the question for too long, and to be honest I don't really know why. Afterall he had been trying to kill me for 4 years now, and he still had not succeded. There were still many, many questions that have not been answered... Why is he so strong and fast? Why is he so inhumanly gorgeous? Why hasn't he killed me already? Why does he want to kill me? Does he... like me back? My name is Saphire Williams. And I am falling for the fallen.

God Complex - Vol. 1 by noonadamski

The major kingdom of the East called Huaza has fallen, but not the way most people think. Its emperor has gone insane and ordered massacres of his own people. The already high tensions between the West and East have risen from Huaza's fall and caused the West to lose respect for the East. Jun Li has survived the fall and decided to start his life anew in the Mang Kingdom down South. As a male prostitute. After a year he meets a peculiar client who tells him about a bounty in the Western cosmopolitan city of Perenykisk. Fueled by the dreams of having endless amounts of clients to become wealthy, Jun immediately leaves for the West. But a greed and lust fueled dream comes crashing down as he gets tangled up in the life of a notorious mercenary and bounty hunter. Forcing Jun to face what he tried so hard to run from. --- This is my submission for the Wattys 2021 and ends in the middle of The Avarice Patriarch Arc. It will be edited and revised to sound decent, sadly any extras (art, character list, etc.) won't be on here. It also won't have any warnings on any of the chapters! If you want to read the original version, which I update every Thursday at 10pm PST, unless something happens, then just search for "God Complex" or look on my profile.

Evil by Euphonics

I go by Artemis Blythe. I'm an ex-soldier turned murderer. I was charged with thirty murders and was subsequently sentenced to death. Preceding my execution, in a twist of fate, I was reborn in a child's body in a dog eat dog world ruled by two factions: Righteous and Demonic. I had two abilities in my arsenal: One let me cheat death, the other strengthened me the more I killed. I had two goals: One was to destroy the Righteous faction in its entirety, the second was to enjoy the hunt. I was named after the Goddess of the Hunt after all. Now that I was in a world where murder was validated and not outlawed, it would surely be nothing less than good time. No kindness. No selflessness. No altruism. Just acting on self-interest. There wasn't a single good bone in my body. Only pure, condensed, unadulterated evil.

"I never feared death... until I saw you." ~•~•~ Samuel gazed up at her from beneath his dark brow. The many scars that littered his chest, made her heart ache for him. Had anyone cared for him when these wounds were fresh? "You are staring again." He commented, his voice neutral. Eden swallowed, biting her lip anxiously, "And you are shirtless." She replied, her voice equally as monotone. "Aye, I am." He nodded, "But that is not why you stare." "I do not stare with pity if that is what you are suggesting." She quipped, "I have seen enough pity in my life I would never put that upon anyone else." "Yet still you stare." His green eyes appeared to sparkle as his lips curled into a knowing smirk, "You may not know why little flower, but you are staring all the same." ~•~•~ Samuel Cairn was a formidable warrior, his hands stained with blood and his soul marked and scarred. Years ago he put down his sword and sought the peace of the church. Taking up a house on the lands of a nunnery, he utilized his skills to hunt and provide fresh food for the secluded nuns of the St. Maurice Abbey. Eden Edergreene lost her father to mysterious circumstances, the entire village looking at her with fear as if she were the cause of his demise. But when livestock begins to go missing, and another male is found dead, more questions are raised. Who or what was attacking the small village of Tarafet? This is a fluffy romance about a monster hunter and a young woman searching for a place in this world. Expect slow burn romance and tension! Started: 1/7/25

Damned bastard (English version) by KevinBerlanger

Dear readers, Allow me to invite you on an introspective journey, an exploration of the intricacies of destiny as I perceive it, not only in my own existence but also through the prism of the characters that populate my creative universe. Destiny, this mysterious force that sometimes seems to guide our steps, takes multiple and changing forms in my mind. It is not a single, predetermined path, but rather a complex interweaving of choices, chances, and necessities. For me, the destiny of each person, whether real or fictional, is like a perpetually evolving tapestry. Each thread represents a decision, an encounter, an unforeseen event. Some threads are thick and solid, forged by our will and deliberate actions. Others are thin, almost invisible, woven by circumstances beyond our control. In the following lines, I invite you to discover how this vision of destiny manifests in my life and in that of my characters. You will see how each decision, each trial, each triumph contributes to weaving a unique and unpredictable story. Prepare to dive into a narrative where reality and fiction intertwine, where destiny is not an end in itself, but a constantly evolving path. Let me tell you how I perceive my own destiny, as well as that of the beings born from my imagination... In a world where supernatural powers shape society, destiny brings together an unlikely group of individuals on a history-laden bridge. Slenth, a young man tormented by his past, crosses paths with Jokash, a powerless colossus, Shalan, a healer whose gifts consume her, Léonen, a man on the brink of suicide, and Ritchard, an object manipulator with mysterious intentions. Their encounter, orchestrated by the invisible threads of destiny, will lead them towards extremely dangerous adventures.
