LITERARY FANTASY: Xarsians have slain King Margus and the entire royal family. They have forced the port city of Weyvin to pay a geld tax to the usurper, King Derek, and Xarsians now roam the streets looking for fights. The elderly Bogatyr knight Dobrynya has been forced out of retirement after his friend Piotr is murdered by Xarsians, but his unusual plan to right the wrongs he sees is to open a school for training Bogatyr knights, an ancient order of wandering knights who dabble in magic and the supernatural.

Summoned by his former master, Ilya Bogdanovic arrives to help the knight who trained him with his plan to fight back against the Xarsians. Dobrynya was happy to stay retired, but he is one of the most skilled warriors Korovia has ever seen, and with war brewing the good people of Weyvin need a warrior of Dobrynya's stature to fight back against the invasion of Xarsians seeking to bend the people to the will of the usurper.

Ilya and Dobrynya have worked together previously to kill dragons, giants and trolls, but are they a match for an army of evil warriors, wizards, assassins, demons, and anything else the Xarsians can call upon?All Rights Reserved

A&D Book 1: Amulets & Demons (Editing Slowly) by TheWynncraftFury

In our world, there are two forces. One of darkness, and one of light. The forces of darkness dwell underground, in large caverns and ravines. The inhabitants of these spaces are demons, who are born of fear and anger, and thirst for it. These nightmarish creatures have one goal: slaughter the human race, and take over the world. Enter the forces of light. To them, genocide isn't that cool. They're like, "How about you NOT do that, 'k?" These shining paladins of hope (most of them, anyway) are trained to defend the world from these monsters. The guardians of the light are trained to protect at the 'Гэрэл Чапел' (The Chapel of Light). Jace, who came to the school expecting such, has spent years (one and a half) preparing himself to fight. However, he soon learns that the fight runs much deeper, and the stakes are much higher than he thought.

Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru [DISCONTINUED] by GabrielXander

[Check my profile for the new version of this story!!] [This is so... I wrote this when I was 16 😭 I am well aware how bad this is!!] [KnY Various x Isekai!Reader] If you're honest with yourself, getting thrown into 1900's Japan was not the weirdest thing you've done/experienced in your 16/17 years of living. For example: you accidentally stole a penguin from a Zoo! You have no idea where it went, though... Well, in any case, getting isekai'd into Demon Slayer? No sweat! You can totally survive without totally losing your shit! Once you finally learn Japanese and real combat experience, it's over for those demon bitches! But, you find out too quickly that death does not discriminate, not even for Main Characters like you. (On Quotev and AO3 under the same name)

The Diablarist King by St0dad

Years ago I had my revenge, and reclaimed my kingdom from the Usurper who murdered my father. Edeva Delsor, his only daughter, managed to escape me. When she is found nearly twelve years later, I agree to marry her rather than execute her. But the moment our eyes meet on our wedding day, I realize I want her more than anything else, even my own crown. I must tread lightly though. She isn't like me. She is kind, gentle, merciful and giving. I am cruel and dangerous, especially with my dark powers, and the demon in my head who wants her as much as I do. But we will fight to protect her from those who seek to bring her harm. I will use dark magic if I must. She is mine. She is ours.

Dragonica by LadyBunnette

Dragonica was a first draft that has been rewritten and renamed. The new piece will be uploaded under the name Necrotic Dawn Eternia is a boundless world, compassed by three resplendent moons: Andromedus, Andromita, and Jediah. The kingdoms thereof are beginning to favor science over the older, magical arts, which are ever-fading. Legend has it that ancient dragons and orithuns, bloodthirsty, humanoid creatures rumored to now be dwelling underground, sought to eliminate the magical arts from the arsenal and collective knowledge of all other Eternian species, albeit it with independent reasoning. Celestia Lunalia is a sorceress, one of the last of her kind, from just outside of Atreus, an Eternian village just large enough to arguably constitute a town, populated by a tight-knit, hardworking community. Despite her coveted abilities, Celestia leads a modest life tending to her farm, solemnly practicing the arts passed on by her late mother and father, and enjoying the company of her protective lynx-Maine Coon, Violet. Her life is suddenly turned upside down, however, when orithuns surface and begin attacking travelers and residents of Atreus, culminating in the mysterious Ilios, an enigmatic man seemingly unknown to everyone, saving her life without convincing explanation. Everything she thought she knew about her world is brought into question and shattered in turn upon embarking on a journey of discovery, danger, and growth as the world around her erupts into war and she seems to be the only one who can save it.

The Iron Coven by BrianBrock1

A warrior woman addicted to carnage... A rogue who stopped believing in the right thing a long time ago... A cleric more interested in causing wounds than mending them... An elven heiress running away from her family legacy... A wizard cursed with knowledge that erodes her sanity... And a paladin who believes in nothing but steel to save her. Each of them is an outcast with too many enemies and not enough friends. But together, they will carve a path through assassin-infested alleys and goblin killing fields, all the way to a cursed monastery in the mountains to challenge the gods themselves. They might not be heroic or lucky, or even all that smart, but they'll prove each of them has iron in her blood!

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.

A Toy With Wings by thestoryteller0607

***Book One of the Orson Goldbloom tetralogy*** "Are you sure that will work?" I deadpan. She responds with a grim nod. "But...is casting down two lives worth it?" I ask again. This time, she ignores me. "F😠😠😠," I mutter, annoyedly. Then I raise my voice. "Is casting two lives down worth it or not?" "Orson, can't you be any more annoying?" She sighs. "Guess I can't, so give me some answers!" She rolls her eyes and brandishes a knife at me. "You act like that Kore girl. You know, the elf." I taunt her. Kore is disabled. "You act like you like her," she replies. I don't even like Kore! Kore must have been at least 40! "I don't!" "Lovebirds, lovebirds, flocking in a herd..." she mocks. "Is that even a nursery rhyme?" I deadpan. She shakes her head, sending her dark curls flying, and continues to chant, "lovebirds, lovebirds, your deception's so absurd..." F😠😠😠 her.

The Shadowbearer (An Aegis of the Gods Book) by TerrySimpson

The Shadowbearer is made to be a stand alone of sorts and a prelude to Etchings of Power. Etchings and the other books that follow are told from different POVs than the Shadowbearer. They are all part of the interconnected worlds of the Cyclic Omniverse that currently spans 8 books. You can start with any series in the Omniverse. Now, to the blurb: In a world where magic corrupts and kingdoms constantly war, the power that drives the world stirs. It whispers promises of greatness in the heads of the men and women that wield it. Now, it has spoken to the mind of a king. Knight Commander Stefan Dorn, leader of the Unvanquished, has known only war, death and, victory. All in the name of his loyalty to King Nerian the Lightbearer, a man he idolized. Until now. Everything he thought he knew about the King, his people, and his world is coming to an end. At a time when there should be peace, he's once again called to war. Torn between shocking changes at home, his family, loyalty to his men and his King, Stefan wishes only to enjoy life away from the battlefield. But with the new campaign comes a rabid, unforgiving enemy and a potential cataclysm. Follow him as he fights to save his family, his people, his honor, and his birthright from the grips of the shade. Can he save them all? If not, which will he choose, which will he lose? The Shadowbearer is a rousing and engaging prequel to Etchings of Power and a worthy addition to the Aegis of the Gods series. Also free on Amazon, Itunes, and Kobo.
