Give a min-maxed adventuring party a dragon in the dungeon, or some orcs, or even a green slime, and they'll be pretty sure how to respond; but there are other monsters in the manual, and if you pull them out of the dungeon and into the present day, who knows how more normal people would react -- or if they'd even be able to recognize them for what they are.

A return to the themes of a once-a-week project (https://www.wattpad.com/story/169529894-monsters-of-the-week) originally published in 2015, Relicts & Revenants takes more randomly-selected entries from the AD&D Second Edition Monstrous Manual and re-stages them in new environments -- a demilich in remote subarctic Quebec, an imp in the burned-over firewakes of California, a mist dragon fleeing climate change in the south of China -- for thirteen new stories of fantasy, horror, and the generally weird, publishing Mondays from January through March 2021.


This series is now and complete, and collected in
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0917QCJ69
including an additional new novella, "The Caged and the Free".

Champions of Light: Gaëtano's Sword [Book One] by Natbug4545

AVAILABLE ON AMAZON & KINDLE On the planet Keodis, upon the western continent, Uestron, inside the Raesifiin Empire, in the small naval city of Cyripo, the story begins when thirteen diverse strangers answer a strange pamphlet to a quest. The quest is to find a powerful gem in the Deep Forest, and then to use what powers it bestowed on them to delve into the Mountain Barrier. There, they will have to find the Light to dispel the growing Darkness within. Though this qest is honorable and righteous, the dangers that await them are exponentially worse than they could ever imagine. Whether they can save the world depends on whether they can survive themselves. Mature rating for blood, gore and depictions of violence. TW: mentions of drunkards and beer, mention of physical abuses, a description of trypophobia, claustrophobia, and other phobias, and descriptions of nasty cryptids. There is no depictions or allusions of sex, no f-bombs, or drug abuse. This story was started when I was in seventh grade. I finished the original when I was a senior in high school. Displeased with the finished product, I began to rewrite it here, starting June 2015, then again in 2020. I am quite satisfied with the result, and am sure this will be the final edition. This isn't the first book of the series, but there's no spoilers for 'The World is Larger than it Seems', so you can start on this one. The story is far from finished, however, and I hope to eventually finish the series.

Whimpers of the Light by AxelManiez

The world has ended. It wasn't the big explosive thing everyone had expected. No single moment of collapse, no one person to blame. Only a long, insidious torment. A trial with no end. Alek knows this well. He's one of the last few, aimless and broken; part of those who roam the silent ruin. Until one day, he stumbles upon a house. A relic of the past. And through a simple game of chance and choices, he is set upon a path he never intended to walk. A path that will only lead to more deaths, more questions... and things crueller still. But it will also lead him to others - different from him in every way but one: they're survivors. People still holding on. In spite of everything.

Dragons of Marak: Book 1, Wings & Sword by ccotarobles

[Revised as of 10/01/2020] Ana Perez comes from wealth and power. But her father, a business tycoon in the land of Marak, hates dragons. That makes things a little complicated when she runs into a water cobra dragon named Cee, and bonds with him. Still, she would not give him up for anything. Marak is a land where the dragons exist in all shapes and sizes. Cee is blue, snake-like, and wet. Others are stony, with turtle shells and dragonfly wings. A few have crimson scales, fur, and long limbs. Some are as large as a carriage, others twice that size, and others as small as a gartner snake. Cee is overconfident, dogged, and charismatic. Ana is smart, good-hearted, and stylish. They form an unbreakable bond. Partners for life. The dragons of Marak can equip to their partners as weapons. But Cee is more than just an object to Ana. He's a friend. As she spends time with him, she grows. But there are secrets in Marak. Not everyone sees dragons as friends. Ana's naive. The wealth and power among her country's industrialists is a front for small hearts and stubborn men. Ana can't stay blind forever. [ NOTE: Story is complete!! This is a first draft and I am open to critiques on it as I have plans to revise. NEW NOTE: I am working on another round of revisions right now! I will update the story on here in mid to late September, when I complete all revisions. NEWEST NOTE: Updates DONE!]

Drawn to the Flame- Book 1 Council of the Light Series by ablueartist

*#1 in Dungeons and dragons for 3 months in 2020* Deeply traumatised by his past, Clarence must find the courage to rescue his friend from a place he swore he would never return. Clarence O'Leary, A Leprechaun, is determined to live his life as a free man. Unfortunately, the Council of the Light has other plans. After receiving an unwelcome letter, Clarence embarks on an adventure to the banned planet Earth that changes him forever. A life long supporter of the Humanists, he is offered a chance to escape his worries and visit a utopia where the Magical elite no longer exists. Earth is not the place he expected. Beaten and left for dead Clarence limps home with his hopes of seeing a better existence shattered, only to find that somebody has followed him back. Clarence knows that what he saw on Earth may threaten his own society. He tries to keep the Humans secrets, but the Council of the Light is closing their net around him for good. Drawn to the Flame is the first in a series of books that see events conspire that shake the fabric of existence and force civilisations to collapse into chaos and war. It is a tale of addiction, loss, duty and finding the courage to do what is right, not what is easy. Travel to different worlds through the Stone Circle portals and witness the destruction of Earth in this gritty and original High Fantasy series with a sci-fi twist. Mervyn Peake, Robin Hobb, and Terry Prattchet's influences surround the Transworld Network whilst the beautifully flawed main protagonist; Clarence grounds the fantasy in a gritty exploration of the trials experienced by sufferers of childhood abuse.

Whispers of Nowhere by RebelDynasty

**AVAILABLE ON AMAZON** (Book One in the Whispers of Nowhere trilogy) When Gwen's father gets home late from work, it's just another typical night for the museum curator's daughter. Still, there's something strange about the artifacts he's brought home this time, something so unique that she can't help but touch them. In a blinding flash, the artifacts vanish, and a mysterious man appears in their place. Only he's not a man at all. Forneus is a daemon, an intermediary between gods and man-and the guardian of the very artifacts Gwen has just unwittingly sent back to their places of origin around the globe. Gwen doesn't have time to absorb this before a new figure emerges: Phenex, the human-personification of the legendary bird, himself. The next thing she knows, she's being whisked away from the comfort of her home into a world beyond her wildest imaginings. When she thinks things couldn't possibly get any more complicated, she's proven wrong. Because those bizarre artifacts? They were protective seals to a place called Nowhere; a prison realm created by the gods to contain all of the malevolent forces Gwen has only heard about in bedtime stories. Now those very same forces are on the rampage, intent on revenge against the gods whom imprisoned them-and they don't care who else gets hurt along the way. Possessing innate powers she can't even begin to understand, it is up to Gwen and her two mysterious allies to reclaim the lost artifacts before someone far more sinister does...

Book 1: Beginning Of The End by kaylac006

Alex and Chloe aren't your average high school seniors. Brilliant, resourceful, and always questioning the world around them, they've spent their lives preparing for the future. But nothing could have prepared them for this. Lately, strange things have been happening-subtle at first, then impossible to ignore. The air feels different, people act strangely, and a sense of dread looms over them. They know something is wrong. They just don't know what. Then comes prom night. The one night meant to be perfect. Alex finally asks Chloe to go with him, and for a brief, shining moment, everything is as it should be. But just as the music swells and the night reaches its peak, the doors burst open... and the world as they know it ends. Zombies. Real, bloodthirsty, relentless. As chaos erupts, Alex and Chloe, along with their equally brilliant families, are forced into survival mode. But this isn't just about staying alive-it's about finding out why this is happening and if there's any way to stop it. Because if they can't, humanity doesn't stand a chance. The truth is out there. And it's more terrifying than they ever imagined.

Mercenaries of the Gods: Chronicle Two - Adventures by DANordness

Hey you. Yes, you! The Seer is looking for you again. What? Did you think that was the whole story? That was just part one of three. This is part two. At least concerning the Mercenaries. Anyway, this time the Seer has five stories for you this time. The first one is about Alan. He's talking to some cops about how he got his powers. It's a crazy story with a croc-clam and a Lord of Evil who isn't that bad of a dude really. In the second story, you find out what happen with Grania, Kadlin and Squeaks when they go to Greece. There's a sorority squabble, a Lich Queen and other cool, strange and dark stuff in it too, but I don't want to give too much away. In the third story, you find out what happened to Thrack and Rina when they went to China. There's a lot of mages, a big keg, a few sluts for hire and a bloody fairy. It's a fun and sad story, but it's awesome, trust me. Next, you'll find what happens with Alan in Antartica. That story is insane with lots of dragons, and you'll finally get to see why everyone is so afraid of Alan. Finally, you'll read about all those paths converging, all the old friends, and a few new ones, reuniting and you'll be set up for part three. But seriously, the Seer is expecting you again and, if I've learned anything about the multiverse, it's that you don't keep an infinite waiting. So, it's time to return to the Seer, because if the Seer made time for you, you, and what the Seer wants to show you, must be important... This story is unedited, and I wouldn't mind a cover. Thank you for reading the intro if nothing else.
