Truth of light by Dharmeshmithaulia

"Beyond the veil of our perception lies a truth so profound, yet so concealed, that it threatens to tear apart the very fabric of our beliefs. We've always been told that light is a force of good, while darkness is the harbinger of evil. But what if the very foundation of our beliefs has been nothing but a lie? What if the light we have always worshipped is not as pure as we think it to be? The time has come to unravel the Truth of Light - a revelation so -shattering that it will shake the very core of our existence. Join me, as we embark on a journey to unravel the secrets of the universe, where nothing is as it seems, and every truth is a lie waiting to be uncovered."

The Warrior Of The Magic by Surya_SK

From the time she could remember, all she had known is the scene of the evolving world of nothing less the extraordinary. The world she was in, had captivated herself to be put in hold and her past was to be unrevealed because her homeland was already going through much; indescribable events ongoing, uninvited catastrophes, webs of lies, unexplainable mythical fables and more fantastical magic than she could compete with did arrive. She tries to accomplish the seemingly impossible challenges showered by the fate and she uncovers secrets that could change everything. What if revealing her identity means destroying the only home she's known? When she embarks to overcome the dilemma with a lad of supernatural capabilities, fortunately or unfortunately she is keen in denying her heart for him. Hope was diminishing as the land was to be saved from the rising apocalypse and only the duo could be the heroes. Nevertheless, her journey had made her lost in her own world, finding herself. *** Ishya Myra, a supernatural girl raised in the land below the mountains had to nail the obstacles coming her way with the help of a lad to keep her place safe which she had always believed was her home. *** © Surya Sunil Kumar 2023 ★★★

Legacy of the Forsaken by BlessedThaKid

In a realm where the boundaries between myth and reality blur, five unlikely companions find their destinies intertwined, each carrying the weight of a past that haunts them and a future that calls to them. Leading them is a being unlike any other, forged in the fires of both machine and infernal magic-a part robot, part demon, struggling to balance the cold logic of their mechanical side with the fiery passions of their demonic heritage. Beside them walks a creature once feared as a legend-a mythical beast, born of ancient lore and monstrous strength, now turned good by the power of a heart that refuses to succumb to its dark origins. Their redemption is a fragile thing, constantly tested by the shadows of their past. The group is anchored by two brothers, ordinary in appearance yet extraordinary in spirit. In a world dominated by magic and fantastical beings, these humans stand as a testament to the true power of humanity. Their courage, ingenuity, and unbreakable bond are a beacon of hope, proving that even in a land of wonders, the strength of the human heart and mind can prevail against the mightiest of foes. Finally, there is the folklore monster, a creature of nightmares brought to life, who now seeks a new path. Learning to have a heart in a world that fears them, they struggle to redefine their identity, torn between the monstrous instincts that once defined them and the emerging compassion that could save them. Together, this unlikely band embarks on a journey fraught with peril and discovery, not just of the world around them, but of themselves. As they face trials that would break the strongest of souls, they find that their greatest strength lies not in their individual powers, but in the unity forged by friendship, understanding, and the shared pursuit of a destiny greater than any of them could achieve alone.

The Raven's Source by NellaCory

Ever since the village of Sundres became his "home," life faired mostly normal for Shej. And why wouldn't it? It was an unbalanced world in favor of the men and their Sources, a world where Taboos...the women born with magic...would be glared upon and outcast. Growing older, marrying a Taboo, and still wanting relief from the sins he carried from his life before Sundres, Shej sets out to find freedom for his soul and safety for both himself and his wife. Just before he gives up hope that a place of freedom could even really exist, he comes face to face with a person of his past and suddenly finds himself greeting trouble around each corner he turns. Will this person help bring peace to his soul by alleviating his sins, or by bringing his death? Can Shej really find freedom?

The Glimmerstone Enigma [Epic Fantasy][D&D Inspired] by Ravensaloft

Occasionally, the outcome of epic conflict hinges on the efforts of unexpected heroes whose details are lost to time. This is one of those tales. After ruthless hook-headed demons slaughter the Luminarium's brothers and sisters without warning, early clues suggest the use of magic well beyond the capabilities of contemporary masters. Driven by grief and a thirst for vengeance, the two surviving monks join forces with a collection of poorly trained spies, treasure-hunting thieves, and an entitled ranger to settle the score. As they stumble into a puzzle of dark magic and conspiracy, the group is suddenly critical to the survival of freedom and civilization. Isolated and ill-equipped, can they unravel the Enigma in time to prevent a dark and dystopian future? What to Expect: Multiple Main Characters: A group of imperfect non-human adventurers with various skills and backgrounds join forces for a common desirable outcome. Collaborative Problem Solving: The struggle to become greater than the sum of their original parts and find a way to succeed as significant underdogs. Exploration and Discovery: A world with history, magic, and cryptids waiting to be discovered, understood, harnessed, and overcome. Natural Progression (without the stats): MCs develop personally and professionally within the story's context, honing themselves and their craft as they go. Dungeons and Dragons flavor: A homebrew world that broadly follows the ideas and constructs of the game. More adventure than politics: Worldbuilding is minor and situationally relevant. There will be no info dumps of national history or political rivalry, except where necessary to the plot. For me, the characters and the adventure are the story.

The Greylands: Modern Edition by SusanSkylark

A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.
