First season tells the story about two young slave brothers fleeing from their hometown to set on an adventure to get revenge from their sister's kidnapper, an evil prince who has nothing to lose.

Second season tells the story of a perverted peasant, Zain who wants to train to become stronger in order to find a rare flower for his sick mother.

2.1 | Alice ✔ by PhantomBlacke

What does it take to unlock the path of true happiness? For two complete strangers, it's as simple as a wish to escape their sham of a life. But there's a reason you should be careful what you wish for. They'll be put to the ultimate test to determine how far they're willing to go and how hard they're willing to work for the desires of their hearts. ------------------------------------------------------ Zain Lockheart has always been the prime example of "everything that glitters isn't gold". Constantly living as an outcast in the shadow of his parents' fame and riches, he never imagined there'd be more to life than living in a gilded cage. When he meets Saber Blacke at a housewarming, he discovers a kindred spirit in her. She knows all too well what it is to pretend to be content for the sake of image. All it takes is this chance meeting to send them both nosediving into an alternate reality, where a mysterious race of people are suffering the consequences of a rift-inducing war that took place over a century ago. With Saber as his closest companion, Zain quickly transforms from a burden of privilege into the key of salvation for these people and their doomed world. The goal seems simple enough to accomplish: reunite two kingdoms to restore the world to its former glory. But what he isn't counting on is a pair of intruders, watching his every move from the shadows, hellbent on unleashing chaos and destroying this paradise beyond repair forever. Only one thing is certain now: if he ever wants to return home with Saber, they must first survive the harsh trials and unforgiving wilderness of Wonderland.

A Dance with Darkness and Light: Re-Origination by OGCarrel

Wordcount: 88.33K A bully in school, a parasite as a grown-up. The shadow of a man. A shunned member of society. Such are the descriptions given if one asked about a certain young man, but he couldn't care less. All that mattered to him was his mission, vengeance. Nothing could stop him in his tracks until one day his parents died. Though even that lasted only until the emptiness overcame him once again. At the beginning of his mission, there were five torches lighting his path, now, even the last one ceased at the flicker of its final light. After that, in an effort to join her, he also extinguished his light. Yet fate is a fickle mistress, and you should be careful what you wish for...because the Lord of the underworld seemed determined to send him into a different world. With his protest ignored he was swiftly dropped into the body of a recently deceased prince. Plunged into the seat of a kingdom, overflowing with intrigue and schemes. In a world, as our "prince" will soon learn, vastly different from Earth. Now known as the fourth prince of Ralun, Bazuul Ylvazad, he has to adjust and learn quickly if he wishes to survive. Something he himself isn't quite sure of. The question though is, did he really have another option? Obviously death didn't work. ~~~ Ytolan map: https://imgur.com/zwmHOb8 Seven Kingdoms map: https://imgur.com/a/CIunFJd www.instagram.com/og_carrel www.patreon.com/og_carrel

Straight-Up Not Having A Good Time At Night Raven College: Prologue by MahouSenshiLucky

PROLOGUE: Thanks, I Hate Being Welcomed To The Villain's World. (COMPLETED) ______________________________________ The misadventures of Prefect Kat, the 19-year-old ace lesbian isekai'd into a school full of problematic pretty-boys, armed with only her lack of f*cks and knowledge from years of mental health treatment. Will she survive? Will she ever get home? Will this damn cat ever stop causing problems? How long will it be until she even SEES another woman? Please, she is so gay and so, so lonely. ______________________________________ Writing the events of Twisted Wonderland as if I (or at least a version of myself that would actually progress the story) were the main character. CW: Swears (I swear like a sailor), descriptions of violence (describing in-game events; my style gets pretty prosey.) A lot of artistic license/minor worldbuilding/details/etc. Probably no ships; definitely no selfships or MC/OC+Canon ships or whatever you wanna call it. If there are ships, they're gonna be more subtext than anything else. If I go too OOC with ur faves I'm sorry, I'm doing my best but I'm dumb and mostly just try to get the 'vibes' right for each character; also might comedically exaggerate some traits for Shenanigans purposes sometimes. I own nothing besides myself; all characters/settings belong to Disney and Yana Toboso, etc., etc., pls no class-action lawsuit I have no money

To Rhial by RenCory

Where a youthful dream in a world of opportunity begins, so too does a harrowing tragedy. Adam, Brenden, Desmond, Tells, and Rowan are five well-to-do dudes in the fantasy world of Rhial. Adam is big, green, not to mention the hero. Brenden isn't sure if he's more of an alien or an elf. Desmond is a regular human and happy about it. Tells is terrified of not being a guy. And Rowan is a vampire with an insatiable thirst for blood. They have an interesting mix, but discovering all those things about themselves is really terrifying, especially since they aren't in their bodies, or in their world. These five college-aged guys got dropped into their new bodies in the middle of the woods with no warning after a tragic highway accident. They don't even know what they look like until they tell each other. Then they get woken up by none other than Vetia the Vampire Hunter. 🔥 What to expect: 🩸 - Uncertainty as you explore this new world through the characters' eyes. - Fast-paced action sequences with heavy focus on realistic combat. - Contemplative, introspective, emotional moments. - A character-driven story that matures with its characters. - Stronger focus on internal conflict and dialogue. - Literary elements. - 5 first-person POVs that switch each chapter. - Shorter early chapters and longer later chapters (ranges from 900 words to 20k words).

Inverted Deck by KingSoruto

Stolen from your home. Inheriting a name and memories that are not your own. Totally bewildered to as you got there and why the body you're withholding possesses an exact replica of your face. As you begin to see the faces of your loved ones you're given power, the power to make change, you think. The power to finally alter the course of your previous life, you think. The breakthrough that you needed. But will the outcome be as you expected? Is this world, these lands any different from your original home? Or is it but the society you fled from, just- Inverted.

Pearl Academy I The Emergence by queen_narix

The night is dark. There's no moon, no stars. We rush through the thicket of the woods. The sound we hear is the pounding of our running feet. We run into low hanging branches, fighting against them until we stumble until a clearing. My partner grabs my arm and leads me down another path. "Wait! Where are the others?" I shake my arm from their grasp. "Where are they?" There was a stillness to the dark woods. The type of stillness that holds danger within its shadows. "They'll be fine!" I get pulled back down the path that I was being led to anyhow. "They know what to do. They won't find us if we stay separated." I ran alongside my hidden pair. The moon is at its peak at night. It shows us the way. "It's not him I am worried about, Sunistral. It's her." I hear a sharp breath behind us. I swear it was! But it was disguised as a searing gust of cold wind. When I looked back, there was nothing. Just an endless pit of darkness. It was then that I knew that it had found us. This dream somehow finds me ever night. And every night I wake up in absolute confusion. I have no memory of my parents or where I came from. The only true constant of my existence is the visits that my nightmares make at night and during the day. I have yet to understand the echos of them. Until I find myself where it all began: at Pearl Academy.

𝙰 𝚅𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜'𝚜 𝙶𝚞𝚒𝚍𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚂𝚞𝚛𝚟𝚒𝚟𝚊𝚕... by PlayingWithFire1453

Have you ever had one of those terrible yet annoyingly pivotal moments? You know, that monumental fragment of time that flips everything you have ever known. That plot twist second that completely takes you by surprise. The one just before the storm hits and everything goes to hell. Yes? Because you see, that moment happens to be my whole damn life. It wasn't always like this though. I used to have a pretty mundane existence, happy to just get good grades and be around my friends. God I wish I could get that simplicity back, I'd never complain it was boring again. But I know I'm not going to ever get back my old life because well... I died. (Kinda) But I woke up. And I was thrilled, beyond grateful I wasn't dead. But then I realized that there was one minor detail that had changed about my reality. I was given the chance to live but it turns out I woke up as the villainess in an otome game my friend used to be obsessed with - Kingdom of freaking Hearts (I added the freaking in there for effect, it's just Kingdom of Hearts) Where, for the record, the villainess only has two possible endings 1) execution and 2) getting exiled. So Fate was like, "Don't worry, I'll save you. Here's a chance to live" and then was like "psyche, screw you. You're still going to die but I'll let you suffer a little first." So now, if only to annoy Fate by proving it wrong, I am determined to survive. I can and I will if I play by these simple rules: 1) Befriend Heroin 2) Avoid Aryn Edwards at All Costs as well as other capture targets And 3) Be the top student at the academy and become an invaluable asset to my Kingdom so I become indispensable, thus unkillable. I'm determined, stubborn, persistent and I will live passed 16. Fate made a big mistake setting me up to die. Since it threw this plot twist at me, I figure I'll return the favor. I'll be the biggest plot twist Fate never saw coming...

Glass Heart Syndrome by skystar1011

[Content Warning: Dark themes, violence, psychological manipulation] ❝Being kind in a cruel world is like bringing a flower to a knife fight.❞ Eren Valen died on Earth believing in the good in people. Too bad his second chance at life didn't come with a warning label. Reborn into Ezura, a realm where magic flows like water and power corrupts like poison, Eren's pure heart makes him the perfect target. As an apprentice mage with stars in his eyes and trust in his soul, he dreams of becoming the hero in a world that has no use for them. But Ezura doesn't reward the pure-it devours them. When his faith in humanity is shattered by a betrayal that leaves him bleeding out in a ditch, something inside him breaks. Or maybe, something awakens. Gone is the boy who wanted to save everyone. In his place rises someone who understands the truth: if the world wants a villain, he'll give them a masterpiece. Armed with magic, fueled by spite, and backed by a brilliant mind he'd forgotten he had, Eren begins his metamorphosis. Those who took advantage of his kindness? They're about to learn why you shouldn't leave your victims breathing. But every time he stares into the abyss of his own making, echoes of his former self whisper from the depths. And in quiet moments, when the mask slips, one question burns: Is he becoming stronger, or is he just better at breaking? ✧ A tale of twisted redemption ✧ Morally grey protagonist ✧ Psychological warfare ✧ Complex magic system ✧ Strategic manipulation ✧ Found family (but toxic) [Updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday] #MagicFantasy #DarkFantasy #Reincarnation #Revenge #MagicAcademy #PsychologicalThriller #Antihero Start the journey. Just remember-not all transformations are beautiful, but they're all permanent. ❝You either die a hero, or live long enough to perfect the art of villainy.❞

Princeps by SxGxFreeman

Well met wanderer! You have stumbled upon a world weaver, a strange and rare being that draws the thread of stories from the maw of the void for your delight and entertainment. And boy do I have something for you. Before you is a story about a world in which magic has appeared for the very first time and Atef, the protagonist is its first wielder. This LitRPG adventure will follow his path and all associated events with the aid of DICE. As a true world weaver I wanted to innovate upon the established practice of LitRPG and add a new layer to it which will shape up the story in a free-flowing manner by adding randomness. I've tied Atef's progression and future key events to dice rolls whose previews are available on Patreon a week before the new episode is out. They will be related to his magic skills, madness, secret roll, special events and many others to come. Please note that the first 7 episodes of the story are introductory and the progression starts as of episode 8. I will post the rolls for the next week's episode and this week's episode every Friday 8 p.m. ET (which is 5 p.m. PT) and I will always strive to stick to this schedule. Finally, please note that I am writing about a world which is going to go through a tremendous change because of what Atef has discovered, but I am also writing a story about finding oneself, growing and learning whilst fighting problems which are both external and internal. I intend to write this story for a long time to come and I would appreciate if you could stick around and support me along the way. I have a lot of ideas for its future and I must say I am really excited and I hope you will be excited with what I am putting out as well! Expect it to be a slow burn, mixing in high stakes and side events, lots of characters and intense world building. Alas, it is a world touched by magic for the very first time! Enjoy every line, paragraph and episode of it!
