dark demons fantasy intrigue lendral necromancer priest religious supernatural suspense

Mateo Gulverres is a follower to the lesser known Gah'lia, the Ascended Goddess. In a religion that praises experimentation, understanding, and science over demands of blind faith, Mateo's natural curiosity with the macabre and more gruesome aspects of life has led him on a path of medical inquiry and exploration. When rumors of an unknown plague affecting the small town of Dosalda cropped up, Mateo is quick to volunteer himself to head to the town and try and make sense of the inexplicable and deadly illness.

Working alone in a town closed up in quarantine is dismal enough, but when events start occurring that defy reasonable explanation, the practicing doctor soon questions if his slip in sanity is just a side-effect of an on-setting illness, or if there's something far more unimaginable at play in the silent town...All Rights Reserved

Hell Bound (The Immortal Balances- Book 1) by LeahSakura

Closer and closer, I felt Rachel freeze when we came face to face, her crouching on the bed and me standing before her. I thought she'd shrink away and bolt for the door the second she saw me lean in, but surprisingly she didn't. My entire body was tingling from the idea of kissing her... Caleb, twelfth descendant of Hades, is gifted with immortality, supernatural powers, fantastic good looks and undeniable charm. He's also a Grim Reaper in training. That is, until he's cast out of hell, for sparing a mortal he was tasked with killing. Caleb's first task in our world is learning to talk to a Living without wanting to gauge his eyes out, and his second, finding the girl he let live: Rachel. She's an only child, with an alcoholic mother and a long-gone father who couldn't care less about their daughter's well-being. Not even when teenagers all over town start mysteriously dying, all found with tribal cuts all over their bodies. Rachel was Caleb's next target. Which means Caleb's next task is protecting the one girl who made his life his own kind of hell... #42 in Paranormal (highest rank)

The Blue Eyed King of Kuoh by Tyrallius-3

First story, criticism in most forms is appreciated and heard. I also have a love hate relationship with Grammar, so expect punctuation errors. I apologize for that in advance. What happens when a mysterious man shows up on the Gremory estate's front door with a strange request? How different would the story be if Rias grew up with not one, but two close friends? And what would happen if this mysterious addition isn't what they seem? New bonds will be forged, cataclysmic powers unleashed, and one boy's heritage could disrupt the balance between the 3 factions. This is a story of truth, friendship, romance, and plenty of super powered shenanigans.

But shortly after his arrival, the whole city gets infected with the Black Burning, a deadly plague only spirits could cause, and Ruqa finds himself tasked to get to the bottom of it. The job is simple; find the source, end the plague. But to do so, he must travel to the northern mountains, the birthplace of sorcery, and the only other person fit to help him is a mysterious sorceress whom he just met, and whom he is forced to travel with. At the end of the day, it boils down to neither courage nor merit, but Ruqa's willingness to battle demons, both beyond and within, or risk losing everything he ever dreamed of becoming. --- 21/03/2022: Selected as Wattpad's Asian Fantasy Pick 16/05/2023: Featured on Wattpad's Fantasy profile's Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month Celebration reading list. 07/09/2023: Featured on Wattpad's Autumn 2023 Cultivation Month Catalog

Vacation in Damnation by gunshyboo

A year ago, the world was destroyed by ancient gods, summoned by a cabal of wealthy elites who sought to reshape reality. Their dark ritual unleashed vengeful deities who twisted Earth into a nightmarish landscape where magic rules, technology crumbles, and humanity struggles to survive. Familiar places became deadly realms. Forests turned into dark, sentient labyrinths, lakes teemed with krakens, and the skies became the domain of dragons and harpies. Cities either crumbled or transformed into dungeon-like ruins filled with traps and monstrous inhabitants. Survivors cower, avoiding the gaze of mind flayers, beholders, and the undead, while fiendish creatures openly harvest souls for their infernal masters. In this terrifying new world, Marcus Graves, a former soldier turned necromancer, fights to relax. Armed with dark powers, he raises the dead to protect himself against the horrors that roam the earth. But Marcus isn't just trying to survive-he's determined to enjoy the vacation he and his girlfriend, Sarah, had always planned. Tragically, Sarah died on day one of the apocalypse, but Marcus wasn't ready to let their plans fall apart. he resurrected her, but she isn't quite the same. Sarah's a bit slow, her reactions sluggish, and her memories foggy, but she's still the companion Marcus needed for their planned vacation. Together, they travel the nightmare world, visiting the sights they'd always planned to see-despite their now-destroyed state. Whether it's the ruined remains of famous landmarks, crumbling cities, or the corrupted beauty of nature, Marcus and Sarah are determined to check off every destination on their list, finding dark humor in the grim reality around them. Even in a world overrun by gods and monsters, they carry out their now hellish vacation, where survival is the ultimate game, Marcus and Sarah are just trying to kick back and enjoy the ride-even if the world is falling apart around them.
