adventure fantasy fiction magic pickpockets swordplay wip

(Note: This is a Work in Progress book idea i've been playing with for some time! I have most of said book completed in terms of a first draft so I intend to publish on a regular schedule! Feedback is super appreciated!!)

The Old World is fading. The magic that once flew boundless throughout the world is now rarely found in the bloodlines of families. Those that possess it are taken or killed by the nobles who wish to consolidate its power. The beasts that once haunted every dark alley are few and far between. The real monsters flock the streets and choke the air.

This is not the tale of adventure and bravery where the adventurers slay the dragon. This is not the tale of forbidden love. This is the tale of 2 children struggling to scrape by, and a family torn at the seams, the story of a destiny not wanted and the things we do for family. This is the tale of vengeance, forgiveness, trust, and lies. This is On Magic and Pickpockets.All Rights Reserved

Shadow Thief by 8writerandreader8

She's a thief. Living in the slums of Paris Alicia or Ali is definitely ready to return back home but like everything else in her life that plan crumbles and she is left on a new planet - with only her new neighbour Andre for company. She's sarcastic, rude and a little bit moody so how will she manage when she might need to be nice to get any chance at getting home © copyright all rights reserved Each chapter is at least 1500 words but most likely more. I have spent a really long time writing and planning this book so I would appreciate it if no one copies my ideas. I am welcome to ideas and suggestions so feel free to comment or ask. -- Extract: Andre collapsed. 'Pathetic.' Tyke muttered dismissing his unconscious form. I was about to go and check on him when Tyke told me it was my turn. 'Your fight will be in this arena.' he pointed to the one next to Andre's crumpled body. I looked at Tyke letting a smirk evolve on my features and threw a cocky grin at Elra. I wouldn't beat her, but I would at least hit her. I could take a lot more than Andre, that's for sure. I sauntered over not allowing any hint of my nerves come through. Shoving them down so far I could barely feel them myself. Letting the bravado of street life back in, I entered the cage. Elra was oozing confidence so I gave it all back to her. Focus, Ali. Focus. She wouldn't see me cry.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

The empress is mine by Atlas_no_name

What would you do if you got reincarnated as a slave in a whole different world? Stay that way? Well that's not what Tai Lynn did... Tai Lynn is a single mom who has been suffering her entire life. Shes 22 and had to pick up another job because she got fired from her stable one when she got pregnant. All she wanted was to live a quiet life because she had a disease that wasn't curable at all nor did anyone know the name of her disease. She wanted to protect her kid who was 6 because she thought her landlord had come earlier than last month and wanted her rent and was threatening her kid. Little did she know that it was someone she wouldn't have thought. Initially she wanted to lay low but when the emperor took a single look at realized he needed to have her. Tai Lynn then realized that she was a main character and she could change the original outcome of the story. Only question is... HOW FAR DOES SHE HAVE TO GO?!? Ok so basically this book is a reincarnation to the old days with queen and kings and also a little bit of smut but if you don't like that kind of things pls just don't read this book 😅 I wanted to kinda make a WEBTOON but can't bc I cant draw 🥹 so Wattpad it is 😂 This is my first book and I'm going to try to update everyday I made the cover on canva!!

Two Drops More by bloodrosesthorns

(Book 2 in the 'Blood Drops' series) Five drops for the vampires who drink it. Four for the creatures who relish in it. Three for the strong who take it. Two for the weak who cower from it. One for the humans from whom it is taken. *** This book, along with all the others in this series, was written in a manic creative frenzy when I was about 11-12 years old. I do not consider it quality work, nor do I find it representative of my writing skills today. I will not take it down, because it is still fairly popular and I enjoy reflecting upon how I have developed my writing over the years. All I ask is that if you choose to read the book(s), please take into consideration that this was written by a tween many years ago, and that I am not the same person (or writer) as I was then. Thank you. *** Felicia Winters thought she had gotten away from the terrors of the vampire world and its king, Braith Avencrest. She was finally beginning to settle down and fall in love, when he entered her life forcefully again. But with werewolf plans coming to a boil and interspecies tensions rising, can she risk everything she has to make peace, once and for all, between the two species? For two drops more is still too little. Sequel to 'Just One Drop'; read that before this! If you have any constructive critiscism for me, please leave it in the comments or feel free to DM me (also I suck at summaries, so sorry about that). Cover by @-nightfalls

March To The Capital by Elijah-Talbot2

They deserve what happens to them. Ever since they enslaved us, ever since they shackle us underground to bring them their ore or chain above ground to harvest their grain. We suffered, while they fattened their bellies. No more, now we deserve justice. We will ravage through their countryside, we shall burn their homes, and slaughter their young. For now, our rebellion has begun. The time of my people's slavery ends with me for I will lead my people to greatness. The Cinari will do anything to stop me, with their ancient war machines and pathetic armies. But I will push them back and claim what is rightfully mine. We built their Empire with our blood and tears. It is time we take it back. When I was a slave, they called me M-24:6. But as a free man, they know me as Marak. Content warning: This story mentions and features mature content. Which includes sexual assault, torture, gore, genocide, slavery, racism, and more. (Book 1 of 2 of the Capital series)

Awakening - The Last Science #1 by Etzoli

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series. New chapters will be posted on Fridays for as long as it takes to tell the whole story.

AKT: First Draft (Discontinued) by DyroDotExe

The first draft of A Kiflo Tale, a Fantasy book I've been trying to write for some time. I've since decided that I want to heavily outline my book, and also change its perspective, this draft of the story is both unfinished, and written from first person. I'm only really keeping it for notes and references, but I also want there to be history stamps for some of the first written work I did. Here the work is raw, the words written, since I was 15, from now (17, in 2018). Everyone has a poor first book, true, and even though I know AKT isn't going to be the greatest, I'm writing it for myself, and I want it to personally reflect what I want to read. Classic Fantasy following Arilyn Larkir, she is a student of the ancient, though often considered dark and cursed, art of Kiflo. Kiflo, is a form of natural magic which manipulates elements of the world, giving its user powers, but powers which must be contained, or the consequences could be fatal. AKT is heavily influenced by the Witcher Series (particularly the games), DnD (Dungeons and Dragons) and is my first real attempt at long form, high fantasy narrative. The universe I plan to expand in general, as I like my short stories and stuff to link to the world I've built.

The After Effects by NotTheMainCharacter

After it all happened, the Plague created what feels like a whole new world. Survivors created new lives for themselves and carried on with their lives. Me? I didn't get the chance to create a new life. Thanks to my absolutely wonderful father figure, I was forced to become an entirely different person. Thankfully I was able to escape his peachy influence and take some control of my new life. What I don't know is the Plague brought on after effects. Everything changed eleven years ago and only a few knew what actually happened after billions of people died. That all changes one-day though and I found my life completely flipped upside down. Cheers to The After Effects.

Last Legend by Anunimouse96

In the midst of the invasion, imperial soldiers had been sent to search for the fabled Esters, mythical beings born from magic. For a millennia, the Esters possessed great power, so much so that mankind had the tendency to corrupt it for their own selfish desires. In their conquest for power, the War of the Magites took place. As centuries passed, the use of magic became history with the rise of technological advancements by crafting alternate resources: light, steam, oil and cryatal being the most prominent to power homes, household appliances and much more. In an era with great technology at their disposal, who would seek out for a glimpse of magic when the Empire is at its peak? The tales of magical creatures, divine powers, the mystics, the War of the Magites and the quest to find these entities were nothing but a mere legend. Is there anyone verily foolish enough to repeat that mistake?

A RANGER IS BORN by Eshl1111

First off, this story was not written by me. I am posting it for a friend of mine, with permission of course. This took place in a Dungeons & Dragons game over 30 years ago. It is a about how one of the player characters got his start; Crentar Bronn. He is a human ranger of 1st level in this story. This is important to note, because it'll bring more perspective as you read the story. I was the DM (Dungeon Master) for this game. At the time, we were still in high school, which of course, gives away our age. lol I decided to have each character do it solo before they actually met up with each other. A teaser so-to-speak. Eventually, there was five player characters in the game. My friend who ran Crentar Bronn remembers this whole solo adventure to this very day in great detail. A few years after the game is when he wrote this story. We were recently reminiscing about 'old times' and he told me that he actually wrote it out as a story. He was then able to find it on an old hard drive & then sent it to me. I was very surprised at how good this is & how great his memory was from that adventure. I'm flattered that he was so inspired by it, that he turned it into a story! I hope you enjoy this early adventure of Crentar Bronn as much as we did. Perhaps, with enough comments & likes, he'll be inspired to write more chapters. THX
