Promise of the World [Canaan, Book 1] by Chryiss_Rose
12 parts Complete
Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after twenty years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity's existence. - Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction - Expectations for this Story: Immersive adventuring experience inside an intricate, magical world.

Redemption College by EpicEchoes96
7 parts Ongoing
Deep within the wild, untamed forests of Louisiana lies Redemption College, a place shrouded in mystery and legend. To the outside world, it is little more than a rumor, a shadow whispered about in hushed tones. But those who truly know it understand that Redemption College is far from ordinary. It does not seek out its students; it calls to them, summoning only those who possess a unique spark-a hidden power, an ancient lineage. Jamal Thomas never believed in magic or fate. His life in Chicago was ordinary, filled with the echoes of loss and the weight of unfulfilled dreams. But all of that changed one cold morning when an inexplicable urge led him to an email from a college he had never heard of. Redemption College promised answers to questions Jamal didn't even know he had, awakening a dormant desire for something more, something beyond the mundane. Despite his doubts, Jamal found himself unable to resist the pull. With a mixture of fear and hope, he decided to follow the mysterious call. As he crossed the threshold of Redemption College, he stepped into a world where the boundaries of reality and fantasy blurred-a world where knowledge held power and secrets were woven into the very fabric of existence. Jamal's journey into the unknown was just beginning. Little did he know, this strange, magical place would reveal not only the hidden truths of the college but also the hidden truths within himself. In a place where nothing was as it seemed, Jamal would discover that his destiny was far greater than he could have ever imagined, guided by the whisper of fate.

An Endless Journey Into Another World by CatWuwu
15 parts Ongoing Mature
Imagine being one of the humans transported to a colossal planet where monsters lurk around every corner, and you have no guide, weapons, or abilities to rely on. You might think it resembles some dark sandbox RPG games, but it doesn't work that way. In the aftermath of a prophecy foretelling Earth's destruction, billions of people vanished from around the globe, transported to a planet called Eldrasia, a world the same size as Jupiter. People were scattered all across its vast expanse. The questions surrounding what happened to Earth and why they were transported remain unanswered; no one knows the cause of this phenomenon, and its mysteries elude understanding. Here, the full potential of one's being is unlocked; magic and super strength are possible, but abilities aren't granted automatically. Individuals must work hard to achieve and discover their hidden talents and skills, seeking knowledge in dangerous areas to fully understand and unlock their potential to survive and rebuild humanity. In this new world, there are no guides to lead the way. Everyone must rely solely on their instincts and determination to navigate deadly environments, unknown territories, mysterious civilizations, and ancient ruins. Eldrasia is a world within a world, filled with treacherous dungeons that contain traps and monsters eager to prey on the unprepared. Unlike anything found in games, these dungeons offer no easy loot; they test the limits of strength and resolve. Towering structures rise with thousands of floors that anyone can challenge, offering unique abilities, rare equipment, and unknown materials. However, reaching the top floor is shrouded in mystery, with rumors suggesting that Demons and Gods of this world reside there. This world isn't designed to be easy; it's a nightmare where every decision could mean the difference between life and death. --- 09/15/2024 - Present
