Every 100 years the stone gates of Cecyle open themselves for eleven days. These eleven days are called 'Clymente', a trial over-watched by the Goddesses, deities, past victors, and the heroes of old. Anyone may participate in these dangerous trials. Risk of death is higher than disqualifications. Oh but to become the victor grants you a title and special gifts from the Goddesses themselves~! There can be only one winner, who will it be this year?

  In the world Alione, there are eight races: Elves with their natural ability to use healing magic; Dwarfs the only race capable of mining magic stones; Fairies which possess an elemental magic; Satrie that live in below freezing temperatures and are known for their horns which vary in size; Orcs which are known for their animal taming abilities and tusks; Tairra are gypsies, known for their other worldly beauty and shape-shifting abilities; Dryads are rarely seen beings, they can shift into trees and retain tree-like qualities; lastly, Kwardtz are bird-like humanoids, more beast than human, they grow feathers rather than hair, and are vicious towards all races except the Dryads.

The contents of this book will be a series of short stories inside this world across various times and some updates for certain shorter stories may update before a longer story.
Each short story will be from 5 to 20 chapters.

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of the Creeping Bam (BOOK 1:  The Job) by BrenGrigori
31 parts Complete Mature
TAO is a broken world held together with nothing but magic and the will of the gods who protect it and its people. Ten thousand years ago THE SUNDERING struck and Tao was almost torn apart by a terrible magical cataclysm which resulted in the planet almost being halted in its journey through the cosmos. It took all the power the gods of Tao could muster to restore its orbit and set it turning again, but in their efforts it was forever changed - its axis was drastically altered, and it now spins in such a way that one face of the world is forever turned from the sun it orbits, leaving half the planet in perpetual darkness. The various humanoid races that survived and now thrive within the habitable parts of THE DAY LANDS have come to live in perpetual fear of what lives beyond THE BORDERLANDS that separate them from whatever dwells within THE NIGHT LANDS, but for ten millennia it has kept its secrets. The land of RUNDAO languishes under the rule of their warlike Northern neighbours, the TEKTEHRAN EMPIRE, while a small, ragtag band of motley adventurers ply their mercenary trade fighting monsters and protecting the common man from the various dangers that haunt the night and prowl the hinterlands on the edges of civilization. THE CREEPING BAM have amassed a modest reputation in their years together, but they're still just a small-time party of sellswords, thieves, outcasts and mages. They're also exactly the kind of underdogs the people of Tao doesn't yet realise are needed to save the world from the encroaching darkness they doesn't even know is coming ... IMPORTANT: Please note this story includes content that may be considered mature, such as moderate battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes.

Short Story 1 Jack Kilver was the greatest adventurer in human history. Once he heard of a place that was so harsh that not even the terrible monsters outside the city dared not to go into it he knew he must be the first. He would accomplish the impossible Unfortunately, things never go as planned. Short Story 2 Things has been changing in the city ever since the new of Jack Kilver.

Short Story 4 Lily lived a happy but simple life in her village, despite the war against the magical beasts of world still raging. When the war finally reaches the village, she expected her life to end with her family. She never expected a man to appear and offer her a deal. Tales Of Wonder are short stories that are tied in to a novel I've had in my head for years. They are related to the novel and each other. These stories are mainly to motivate me and to test out different writing styles. Each short story will be written in different styles. They take place in a world where magic and science combine. The first story here, I admit leaves the rules of the world and how everything works a little vague but each short story will add more and eventually the novel will tie up the magic system. Any feedback is welcomed. Of course, let me know if you want more stories.
Queen of Chaos and The Forgotten Witch by AuthorZelia
50 parts Complete Mature
A warrior's place is not in hiding yet that is exactly where Mira finds herself; hoping that the creatures had forgotten her name, forgotten what she had done. Until her previous Commander appears, bringing the very news she never thought she would hear- that the only creature with the knowledge to break the curse is finally in their possession and willing to work with her. For years, this curse has prevented all of the creatures from accessing their powers. Without their power, they stand no chance of surviving against their greatest enemy, the fae, whose attacks seem to be growing more frequent and devastating. With Deimos, the only creature unaffected by the curse, in her possession, Mira finds herself negotiating the terms of a deal that are not nearly as harsh as they should be and spending her every waking moment catering to the most feared monster. Mira knows better than to believe it was all a mere coincidence; to not assume the fae have something far bigger planned. Deimos too. Despite it all, the biggest challenge she faces is how to conceal her own ulterior motives and lies from her new team. A few quick notes... ~The story is the first in a series and depending on interest, I will write and publish the following books in the series, AS WELL AS other spinoff stories in the same world. ~I have completed writing and editing the entire book so I will be uploading a few chapters each day until the entire book is posted. ~Happy reading!

72 parts Complete Mature
[COMPLETED] I was cursed at such a young age, abandoned by my own wolf and the Moon Goddess for something that wasn't in my control. I don't even think having a mate is in the cards for me... ✨🌘✨ I jumped when the final horn sounded, circling the garden before everyone became silent. They all returned to their seats, my father rising from his chair as I stood from my seat along with the other pups. I struggled to breath as we took our position, standing in the centre away from everyone else. My father offered me a reassuring glance though it did nothing to ease my anxiety, all I had to do now was wait. My eyes widened when the moons blue light shined down on me, illuminating my skin as I stared up at the sky in awe. "We thank the moon goddess for the power of her light..." I dropped my gaze back down, my fathers words surrounding us, "...Shall it bathe you and grant you strength, agility, speed like the wolf..." The pups around me began to moan in pain, capturing my attention as I furrowed my brows. Their features were all contorted by an invisible pain that inflicted them but I felt absolutely nothing. My heart raced when their groans of pain became screams but I- I suddenly drop to the ground, a painful throbbing in my head forcing me to the ground. I grip the sides of my head, screaming. I don't know how to explain it but it felt as though my brain was tearing in two, like my head was cracking open. When the pain stopped, I found myself surrounded by wolves, the shifted pups. Looking down at myself, I only see my body, no paws and no fur. I hadn't shifted... ✨🌕✨ Book 2* 'The Wolven King' is the first book and must be read in order to understand this one. ⚠️ WARNING!! This book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+. There are depictions of violence, mature language, sexual behaviour and sexual abuse.
