dark darkfantasy fantasy paleontology

A pyromancer visits a village where strange creatures from an ancient swamp are kept as companions. 

This story incorporates real animals from the Carboniferous and Permian periods. For the most part, I have attempted to portray them in a way that is accurate to my (amatuer) understanding of the real organisms, but ultimately this is a fantasy story. They possess many traits that are idealistically speculative at best, their relationships with each other are almost always anachronistic, and some of them have traits that are outright magical. Much like when animals that live today are included in fantasy stories, they are not quite the same as the real thing! Please keep that in mind when reading.All Rights Reserved

24 Hours In The Past (Volume 2) by Landiahazak

There are so many creatures that once roamed planet Earth, our own little oasis in the vast expanse of the desert we call the cosmos. But what were these creatures like? What would their everyday lives have been like? Well I'm here to answer those questions. In every episode we'll take a look at a day in the life of one of these creatures. Whether it be the apex predator of its environment or a small creature at the bottom of the food chain, there's never a dull moment in the lives of these amazing creatures. So join me, as we travel back in time and meet the creatures that once roamed this planet. Note: As time passes, there's a strong possibility that my book will becomes less accurate as we discover more and more about Earth's past. But for now my book will provide the currently most accurate information we have. Also some of the creatures that are depicted in the episodes may not have been discovered in the exact location that this story takes place in, but rather in the areas around it. Also, all of the pictures or videos belong to their respective owners.

Vacation in Damnation by gunshyboo

A year ago, the world was destroyed by ancient gods, summoned by a cabal of wealthy elites who sought to reshape reality. Their dark ritual unleashed vengeful deities who twisted Earth into a nightmarish landscape where magic rules, technology crumbles, and humanity struggles to survive. Familiar places became deadly realms. Forests turned into dark, sentient labyrinths, lakes teemed with krakens, and the skies became the domain of dragons and harpies. Cities either crumbled or transformed into dungeon-like ruins filled with traps and monstrous inhabitants. Survivors cower, avoiding the gaze of mind flayers, beholders, and the undead, while fiendish creatures openly harvest souls for their infernal masters. In this terrifying new world, Marcus Graves, a former soldier turned necromancer, fights to relax. Armed with dark powers, he raises the dead to protect himself against the horrors that roam the earth. But Marcus isn't just trying to survive-he's determined to enjoy the vacation he and his girlfriend, Sarah, had always planned. Tragically, Sarah died on day one of the apocalypse, but Marcus wasn't ready to let their plans fall apart. he resurrected her, but she isn't quite the same. Sarah's a bit slow, her reactions sluggish, and her memories foggy, but she's still the companion Marcus needed for their planned vacation. Together, they travel the nightmare world, visiting the sights they'd always planned to see-despite their now-destroyed state. Whether it's the ruined remains of famous landmarks, crumbling cities, or the corrupted beauty of nature, Marcus and Sarah are determined to check off every destination on their list, finding dark humor in the grim reality around them. Even in a world overrun by gods and monsters, they carry out their now hellish vacation, where survival is the ultimate game, Marcus and Sarah are just trying to kick back and enjoy the ride-even if the world is falling apart around them.

The Hidden Lives of Monsters by Landiahazak

Anyone who has played any Monster Hunter game will have probably noticed at some point that the ways these so called "monsters" act are strangely familiar, with their behavior being more animalistic than monstrous. This is without a doubt the thing that separates this franchise from all other monster hunting games; the beasts we do battle with are little more than this world's versions of animals. Now it's no secret that we're familiar with the lives of the humans, felyns, and wyverians, as we spend a lot of time with them; however, what about the monsters? Do we really know what the lives of these fantastical animals are like? In this book, we'll be exploring the hidden lives of the monsters themselves and see the world through their eyes. We'll learn what their everyday lives are like, the challenges they must face to survive in their natural habitats, and even how they manage to more or less peacefully coexist with other creatures and civilization. So if you want to see what it's like to live as a monster, join me on this journey, and discover the hidden lives of monsters. Warning! Because nature can be very unforgiving, some of these stories may contain potentially upsetting content to some readers, with gore, violence, and mating being some of them. This book is supposed to give an accurate representation of monster lives, so despite not being present in the games for obvious reasons, the simple fact is that these less palatable things definitely do happen when nobody's looking. Finally, all pictures belong to their rightful owners.

Stop. (Eyeless Jack x Reader) by Ieatrubbers277353

Following a woman who after cutting off her old life and moving to a small town in rural Wisconsen to start a new, a comical series of events, follows, fuled by pettiness and spite, leading her down a spiral of madness and the paranormal. This is a story of comical shenanigans, revenge, fantasies, and grizzly revelations. Ok, so yall know the drill with the whole (Y/N), (S/C), (E/C), etc. I'd also like to note that I'm dyslexic so sorry for any errors in the writing of the story. There is also profanity, more mature content, mention of mental health issues, gore, cannibalism (obviously), a few explicet jokes here and there, in this so reader you have been warned. You're a young adult woman who has recently just moved to a small town in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately for you, this town just so happened to be next to a cursed forest with entities that often put you in danger. But you end up making out with one of the hot ones, so it's ok 👍 Also, this is a bit of a slow burner. Thought I'd just mention that

Survival by bandhoez9194

Pezzy, Droid, Grizzy and Puffer were meeting up with Smii7y, Kryoz, Wildcat, 407, Panda, Soup and Blarg at TwitchCon. It was set to be a normal convention weekend, some drinking, some games, some laughs, some fun. Until on the second day, an earthquake hits San Diego. The group see large, unnatural beasts stalking the streets, tearing apart every person they caught. Pezzy just wanted to get back home with his friends, to survive the escape from the city. Would they get free? **this is for fun, I don't ship any of the guys irl. It's why I do mostly mythological AU's because it's completely unlikely for anyone I write about to be involved in those situations. There's also not a LOT that shows any romance, I think one or two kisses the entire story near the end**
