Shadow Archive by ReezWriter

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. And language itself fractured reality. Kael Orven, once a brilliant young Librarian, now roams the ruins with no past beyond the glyphs carved into his arm-glyphs that burn every time he faces a corrupted text. 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.

BEYOND: The Nameless Eater by Gaston_Jay

The spirits made manifest by mankind's consciousness seek nothing but tyranny and chaos, possessing humans and corrupting them into monsters. However, those with enough mental fortitude tame these spirits within them and become capable of controlling the powers of these spectral demons. In this Journal that I have salvaged, you'll follow the perspective of the blindfolded Damien Lopez, a boy (Probably) with more going on with him than what meets the eye in his struggle to reclaim the peaceful life robbed from him by the cold whims of fate and discover concepts along the way, such as 'Love', 'Friendship', 'Forgiveness' and most importantly, 'Clobbering the life out of demons'.

The Hollow Crown by 1210Raine

In the city of Veilrest, where shadows breathe and nightmares walk, power is a curse disguised as a gift. The once-glorious kingdom has been rotting from within, its throne left vacant after the royal bloodline was slaughtered in the dark of a moonless night. Now, the land festers under the rule of a nameless tyrant-one whose face is never seen, only felt in the whispers of the cursed and the screams of the vanished. Kastor Veyne never wanted to be a hero. With a metal-forged leg replacing what was lost to Veilrest's cruelty, he's learned that survival is the closest thing to victory. But when a prophecy names him as the rightful heir to the Hollow Crown, he's dragged into a war of monsters and gods-one he never asked to fight. By his side is Silas, a rogue with ink-stained hands and secrets older than the kingdom itself, and Lysara, a necromancer with a grudge against the living and an even greater hatred for fate. As Kastor unearths the city's buried horrors, he discovers that the Hollow Crown is not a throne-it's a prison. And the only way to break free might be to embrace the darkness he's spent his whole life running from. But power always comes with a price. And Kastor is about to learn what it means to lose everything.

Vampiric Soldier in a Cultivation World [ISEKAI & LitRPG] by DusbMail

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

A Hunter's Quest in the Siren's Swamp by Oofella

In a land overrun by dangerous supernatural species, only the wealthy can lock themselves safely inside their secure castles, leaving the rest of the citizens to fend for themselves. Hunting these creatures is the only way for you to survive, protecting yourself and the people you love. It is also a way for you to earn some coin because neighboring townsfolk pay you to kill the creatures decimating their land. When you return to your hometown after one particularly brutal fight with a swamp of sirens, you find your village in ruins. There is debris where shacks once stood, and you can smell the charred flesh of the people who once lived there, including your family. Devastated, your anguish overwhelms you as you fall to your knees. After a few moments, you manage to gather yourself and look toward the eastern sky, where the light catches the glimmering castles that protect the gentry class from the monster infestation. Why should they be safe from the creatures at the expense of other people's lives? You grab your trusty sword and take off to the east. Nothing has prepared these elites for what is coming for them. Soon you will be the creature they fear the most.

Sounds of Pride and Passion by LordOfTheSquonks

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.

The Last Oath: The Decline and Fall by Bob12mob

What happens when narration becomes magic and monsters become stories? When meaning crumbles beneath the whispers of tales, and certainties drown in the din of words, truth wears a thousand faces at the windows of night. Survive. When the untold fades, and the unseen is lost. Endure. As kingdoms fall and life ebbs away, as souls awaken only to cage themselves within the lines of pages. Fight. For what remains is a silent longing to wake again, upon the shores of a dream unborn. ------------------------------------------------------------ A multi-character fantasy tale set in a world that has forgotten how to define itself, where eras chase one another in confusion. Knights confront the unknown, detectives battle dragons, and vampires raise dogs. The stars are wrathful, the kingdoms have fallen, and magic stands stripped bare. ---------------------------------------------------------------- For those who do not like indirect suggestion: A cruel, innovative magic system A dark fantasy that blends classic fantasy, horror, and the supernatural. Long story and slow build (although you can judge it in the second chapter) Multiple characters and a big world Exploiting (inspiration from) myths, epics and legends in worldbuilding Legends from all over the world: Europe, Africa, America, Middle East, Australia, Asia, Ireland etc. Mystery, investigation, and the need to analyze, focus, and use your knowledge and abilities to reach conclusions and form your opinion before the characters do (you are part of the investigation, not just the characters) Warning: "Contains graphic violence" "Not suitable for children"

Battle Of The Grim by akamgodlove

Once, magic flowed like rivers nurtured by the Grim guardians of life and death. They were neither gods nor demons but keepers of balance, ensuring souls passed peacefully into the beyond. Among them was a young Grim, a boy with a gentle heart, who walked the earth unseen to replenish its fading magic. But the greed of powerful mages shattered this harmony. They sought immortality, power beyond mortal limits. In the dead of night, they ambushed the Grim, stole his Grimoire of Eternal Passage, and left him for dead. Yet, they could not read its secrets. Before vanishing, the Grim left behind an Artifact of Severance a cursed relic that began draining the world's magic. As the years passed, those with weak abilities withered, while the strong ruled with an iron fist. Monsters emerged from the hadows, terrorizing the land, and the ten kingdoms struggled to survive under relentless attacks. And so, the slow death of the world began.

The Call Of Shadows by OliviaGates732
