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.

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

Now what was once an army of adventurers and guild members is now one of the greatest forces in the world. But strange forces seek to undo all of this when the Withered Hand unleashes a sleeping sickness that deprives of waking child of tomorrow. Slade and his friends are the only ones that manage to escape the clutches of the Nightmare King. Now, with the help of the ancient wizard Rune, they will travel the Empire, enlisting the aid of the sage Guilds, each keepers of a different type of knowledge and skill, to find a way to wake the children of the Empire once again. *Each of the 4 guilds has a special focus of knowledge. They are: The Engineers: Designers and builders of machinery The Sorcerers: The keepers of the arcane and magic The Alchemists: The workers of change and transmutation, seeing what can be changed from one element to the next The Apothecaries: Keepers of the body. Makers of tinctures, salves, potions and other remedy to ailments of the body and mind.

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

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)

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.

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.
