There's this burrow hidden in a forest, surrounded by a swamp and dreadful pathways that lead to it.This burrow or somewhat "passage"is no ordinary passage. Not. One. Bit.
See, the kingdom nearby uses this passage to exile their most dangerous villains, enemies and wrongdoers. Odd, right? Let me explain.
This passage is an entrance to a hidden realm and within this realm is a world of vile, deadly creature, things no one saw unless they were unfortunate enough to be exiled into it. No one who entered ever came back out. These creatures...they feed off of negativity, sin and impure hearts. People exiled into this realm are given a promise that if they are able to return and outlast the creatures within, then they will be welcomed back into the community...
Not even the strongest of warriors lasted longer than an hour.
The moment a person walks through, there's a few minutes of silence before screams of agony echo through the portal, instilling fear into the hearts of everyone outside.
Now...What do you think is to happen if someone is falsely accused for countless crimes. If that person gets sent to the what they called the "Sinister Domain" and for once, minutes pass, then hours and...nothing. No scream, no calls for help, just...silence.
Is it possible for someone to outlive the pits of hell? And if so, what is that person witnessing in this mysterious, feared place.
Meanwhile while the world outside wonders about the events, the falsely accused is walking in the sinister domain, wondering herself, what is to happen next.

Apostasian Revelations
What would you do if you were suddenly thrown powers befitting a God more than any mortal? Would you use them to better yourself, your community and society? Or would you wreak havoc upon our world? Or would you instead look far beyond our reality and breakthrough the construction for something brand new? A new world, all to yourself that too. That's what happened, and it was in the drizzle whilst feeding the pest that had wrecked havoc upon his humble backyard shack that he found a mystery larger than anyone can comprehend, an artifact immune to the irreversible corrosion of time, quite ironic that an unbreakable artifact fell upon his hands by accident, a man two steps away from death itself. Miguel didn't know at that time about how much of an effect the scroll would have upon his life, but whatever happens; he's now sure it'll be a merry one, either in this world, or the other one. Meanwhile in the world he had created, soft, peaceful and lush forests cover most areas of the continent with a very sparse population density, however Reggasia is anything but peaceful; and sparse. Reggasia is almost like another country to the rest of the people in the old kingdom, because it is; despite being the new capital district of culture it is now bleeding like a stuck pig, it's people starving and the wars the noblesse classes are waging aren't making anything better. As such, a greed driven young rogue takes things into his own hands and goes onto a journey that will take him across the entire district when his country and people are in danger, but will he be able to stop the conspiring nobles from taking over the entire continent? Or will his heart be pierced by the very same blade he gave unto this world seventeen hundred years ago? [#7 World Building.]Complete
Obsidian
The world has ended and only the unlucky have survived. In the century since the Accident, Grayson Reid has spent his immortal life in servitude. Bound to Cardinal, an underground realm ruled by tyranny, he has blindly abided by Cardinal orders, unfazed by their cruelty or his own lost memories. Follow the rules and you live; disobey and you will suffer a fate far worse than death. That is until, one day, he wakes up to the memory of a woman on the run. Everywhere he goes, everywhere he turns there she is, in his mind's eye, beckoning to him. It is not long before Grayson too finds himself on the run, risking it all to finally take back what it is he lost all those years ago when the world was brought to its knees. After all, when you've hit rock bottom, how much more do you really have to lose? There is only one thing Mazikeen hates more than Cardinals - Vultures. Primitive, hideous, and cannibalistic, they are a plague upon Obsidian. She should know, she spent most of her life hunting them. Then, when her father died at the claws of a Vulture, she resigned and joined the peaceful Owls. Just when Mazikeen was getting comfortable and thought the fight was over, she discovers a way to destroy the Vultures once and for all. Mazikeen knows that she must pick up her blades one last time to bring peace to Obsidian, even if it means teaming up with an arrogant Cardinal soldier.

Released! 12/12/24 ------------------------- A mysterious online blogger, who exclusively writes about the history and encounters of witchcraft, and claims to be a witch themself, is revealed to have a traumatic history. Maybe the blogs written by '0_Zero_0' aren't as crazy as people think they are? Who are they? What dark past still haunts them today? This story is the second entry into a multi-layered saga, and will be a bit longer than the first story. If you haven't already, be sure to check out the first entry; 'The Spirit Rings' if you like, as there will be some references to it that will more sense when you see it. For context, the first 2 parts of this story will be slightly different to parts 3 and 4, as you will be guided by Zero through his memories, furthermore, any speech in parts 1 and 2 will also be in a memory, not in the real world. (this will make sense as you read to the end) Blog posts are in italics to show that they are not part of his memory. From the 3rd part onwards, it will be formatted in a more standard way, as I am just experimenting with different methods of writing. //TL;DR for parts 1 and 2\\ Plain body text = 3rd person narration (normal reading style) Bold body text = 1st person (Zero reciting his memories to someone) Italics = Blog post (contextual pause to summarise/preview events) Any speech is happening as part of Zero's memory, as he is recalling the events Follow me to keep updated on all my stories, and be a part of the founders for my future novel which will take place in the same universe as all these stories on Wattpad :)Complete

Everyone has heard of the story. After the Knights betrayed the system, were executed for their crimes, and were forgotten to time, evil began to rise one more, even in the absence of the Divilamu. So the highest sorcerers and elites opened a permanent bridge to another world, known as the great Summoning, and brought with it, champions from an unknown dimension, blessed with incredible powers. They took the task of defending the land from the darkness, and creatures that tainted the light, and issued a new era of peace. More powerful than any other race, they quickly became the ruling class. Now they rule behind any government, hunting and destroying threats. With a wide range of abilities, they saw no resistance. They were called Aldaraians. Jack is a simple farmer, living in the comfy town of Rorin. Like 90% of the population, he is a normal human. He does not mind, as he had a loving wife and daughter. A daughter who dreams of joining the ranks of Aldaraians. Then Jack comes home and finds his family dead. He devolves into despair, and then, clear thought, and rage. People he trusted neglected their duty to protect. Jack makes a twisted journey of revenge, making a few acquaintances along the way, he will take them down, by whatever means necessary. He knows deep down he will not survive, but he just wants to give them a scar, so they never forget him. How would you feel? If you were nothing? If gods from another dimension roamed, and did whatever they pleased. The old gods are nowhere to be found? The only gods are the ones that you see everyday? And most importantly, where is the line drawn, between Good and evil? Join Jack on this dark take on the implications of isekai. Will he get his revenge, or will he die, and life will stay the same as he rots in his grave?Complete![Playing with Fire [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/342128771-256-k453440.jpg)
Playing with Fire [COMPLETED]
Every year, my town chooses a sacrifice for the demon that "watches over" our home. In exchange for a person from the village between the ages of 17 to 25, the demon protects our village. And because of that pact, our village is protected for the next year, under the demon's watchful eyes. No one knows what happens to those who the demon chooses, but there's a lot of theories about it. One is that the demon eats or absorbs those who are chosen - another, that it kills them. But this year, I'm the one who's chosen. I get to meet the demon I've feared since I was a child, and now that I'm 24, and am considered an adult, I could have left the village behind. But I didn't. Something inside me told me to stay. Now, I'm going to die. I just know it. I can't leave now, or run away, because the town would be unprotected for a whole year, and that's where my family lives. I don't know what to do, but I'm sure I'll think of something. Besides, how bad can this demon be if they're guarding our town?Complete
where the thorns grow
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE IS INVITED STRAIGHT INTO THE HEART OF YOUR HOUSE? Seven years ago, Rhysa Jiang ran. She buried her past, chose to start over from a clean slate. She became a near legend, the only female Iron Wolf, deciding to become something new. They've hunted her down ever since, and until now she'd managed to evade their search. But now they've been invited to Sai. The Scarlet Palace. Her only home, her safe haven. And Rhysa has a suspicious feeling she's not going to be able to escape the Falcons' grasp this time. After all, she's a deserter, and those pay in blood around here. Dominic Lang had learnt long ago that Rhysa's past was something that shouldn't be dug up. Sure, he had his suspicions, but after being partners for six years, you learnt to trust someone. And if there was one thing he knew about Rhys, it was that the girl was fearless. So her sudden terror makes no sense. Her sudden caution, her sudden reluctance to even show her face in public is completely baffling. And he'll get to the bottom of this. Because Rhysa Jiang had been hiding the entirety of herself from him for too long, because there was nothing he loved more than a good mystery and challenge, and Rhys might just be the biggest one of all. It was just what friends do. (book #1 of 4 in the court of bones series, the third instalment in the silk and steel chronicles can be read as a stand-alone)Complete

Sins Chaos
Tick-tock. Time is up. You can run, but... I wouldn't know the truth if it ran me over on a dark road and stopped long enough to introduce itself. I'm a chameleon and my days of flying under Rixton Biochemical Corp's radar has come to end. Battles fought in secret have now become public and war has been declared. Falling in love wasn't even a blip on my survival radar. From the moment I literally fell into him, it was lust at first sight and our connection was undeniable. Too bad I'm the threat he is sworn to hunt down and he's the danger I crave. ...you will be hunted... Self-delusion: the master of all lies spun; the spider that guards deceptions web. When my past comes back to haunt me, my perfectly crafted island of deceptive truths and earth-shattering lies descends into chaos. I am supposed to be the good guy. The one who hunted down the bad guys. I live in a world where the line that separates the "good" guys from the "bad" guys is just a blurry optical illusion that tricks the mind into believing whatever it wants to be true. Not everything (or everyone) is what (or who) it (they) seem. ...and the truth always finds its prey.Complete
