The Demon's Tongue
Centuries ago, a demon known only as Kael the Silenced was bound inside a forbidden grimoire, his voice sealed by ancient magic. Any word he speaks can kill-and any mortal who hears him dies screaming. When Elara, a reclusive human scribe and linguistic scholar, is hired to translate the lost language of the grimoire, she doesn't realize she's breaking the final seal. Now, Kael is free-but his curse binds him to her. She's the only one who can hear his voice without dying, and the only one who can write the words that might unbind them both. Every word he speaks through her ink burns with power-and temptation.
Sounds of Pride and Passion
Raised in the unforgiving streets of modern-day New York, Damian's early life was a relentless struggle for survival. Orphaned at birth and shuffled into an overburdened system, Damian's time in the foster homes ended early at age ten, thrusting him into a harsh reality where low-end criminal work became his only means of getting by. At fifteen, a chance encounter with Hong Mushi, a peaceful old musician with a blurry past and a heart full of wisdom, becomes the turning point in Damian's life. Under Hong's mentorship, Damian discovers the power of music and its capacity to convey emotions he's never been able to express. With the ability of music in his hands, Damian begins to transform, leaving behind his life of crime for one of creativity and hope. By eighteen, Damian has not only secured a college scholarship but is also transitioning into adulthood with a renewed sense of purpose and dreams of a bright future. Yet, just as he stands on the brink of a new life, an astonishing revelation turns his world upside down. Damian learns that his heritage is not human but part of a lineage steeped in ancient power and mystery. As Damian grapples with his newfound identity, he must navigate the challenges of adulthood while uncovering the secrets of his heritage. His journey of self-discovery is marked by the same resilience that saw him through his toughest years. (Notice: This story is not conforming to any audience. Minimal research has been conducted and absolutely no fucks were given. This story does not take place in our universe. As a constant reminder to that, there will be weirdly familiar names.)
The hidden heir:Beyond the crown
In the high-tech, magic-touched kingdom of **Aurelia**, every royal is born into the spotlight - except one. **Princess Elara Vale**, the youngest child of the royal family, was hidden from the world after a prophecy declared she would "awaken what was lost." To keep her safe, her parents erased her existence from public records. She grew up surrounded by love from her siblings but always behind walls, longing to see the world for herself. When her secret is accidentally leaked, Elara runs away - not in rebellion, but in search of freedom, identity, and purpose. In the neon city of **Ravenport**, she meets **Kael Arden**, a quiet mechanic with no memory of his childhood and a strange amulet that glows in her presence. As they form a bond, they're joined by a group of unexpected friends - a hacker, a healer, and a street magician - each searching for their own truth. Together, they discover that Kael is the lost prince of the long-vanished Shadow Realm, kidnapped at birth, and that the prophecy ties both of them to the future of their worlds. Through their journey, Elara learns what it means to live beyond a title. Kael learns what it means to belong. And their friends - ordinary people with extraordinary hearts - become the family they choose. It's a story about **finding friendship, courage, and self-worth** in a world that often defines you by what you were born to be - not who you choose to become.

Shadow Archive
When the world collapsed, it wasn't war, famine, or plague that brought it down. It was words. Sentient grimoires devoured cities. Living paragraphs swallowed memories.

When he witnesses a book eat a man's face, Kael realizes something terrifying: The words remember him. And they want him back. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Lira Vein, a blind exorcist who "hears corruption," Kael enters the war between Archivists, cults, and Monarch-class Grimoires capable of rewriting the world. But every answer he finds only leads to one terrifying truth: Kael once opened the Shadow Archive... and he is the reason the world collapsed. Now the grimoires are whispering again. The Monarch is returning. And the last line of the world is already being written. To save the future, Kael must walk back into the catastrophe he created- and rewrite the story that erased him. If it doesn't erase him again first. 🔥 Perfect for fans of: dark fantasy, cosmic horror, grim magic systems, emotional duos, tragic pasts, and post-apocalyptic mystery.Complete![Vampiric Soldier in a Cultivation World [ISEKAI & LitRPG]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/401990994-256-k334550.jpg)
Vampiric Soldier in a Cultivation World [ISEKAI & LitRPG]
After a decade of investment in a certain project of his and nothing to show for it, the man had began to give up hope. Immortality was still as far away as ever, and his ill-gotten gains had served no purpose as of yet. One day however, while he was going over his researcher's records in the lab, a tiny little wormhole appeared in front of him, rapidly shrinking from 3 meters in size down to nothingness. With little time to think about how this was even possible, and having nearly lost all hope on his current project on Earth, the man made the unthinkable decision. Leaving everything he had worked so hard for behind, and possibly even throwing away his life, he decisively stepped into the wormhole before it could disappear. Once he opened his eyes, the man found that he had aged by 30 years, but with no memories to show for it. It wouldn't stay this way for long however, as his missing memories started to return to him in a rapid fashion. Thrust into a magical world of cultivation, the opportunity to fulfil his dream had appeared in front of him. Will the man, now named Gaston according to one of his first memories, be able to survive his present circumstances and step foot into this magical world, or will he lose his life in the process? ----- Update Schedule: 5 Chapters a week (2x the size of the first 43), Mon and Tue off. ---------- 💌 Support me on Patreon to access 25+ future chapters and exclusive content: patreon.com/FilDus
