"Once upon a time, in a place nobody remembers, a humble villager went looking for mushrooms. He looked high and low, under every rock and in every trunk. But the poor villager simply could not find a single mushroom. So he went deeper than he ever went before, and stumbled upon a beautiful vortex. The villager was astonished to find it needed no frame or foundation, floating in the air. He dared to go closer and reach out his hand. Yet when his fingertips grazed its misty surface a sudden and brilliant surge of energy shot through his body. The villager stumbled back and held onto a tree for support. To his amazement, he crushed the trunk of the tree with no effort. Filled with newfound strength, the villager ran all the way to his village. Once there he told all the lords men of a brilliant mist in the forest that could bestow amazing gifts onto those that touched it. The lords men eagerly told their lord of this news and the next day they rode into the forest. The lord, impatient to receive a gift, marched towards the vortex and thrust his hands against it. To everyone's astonishment, he fell right through! And there, laying beyond the strange portal, he found-"

The book slammed shut, prompting a dismayed whine to come from the only audience member.
"What did he find on the other side?"
He eagerly asked, a chuckle coming from his father.
"That you will have to find out when your older, when you can go through one yourself."
He was not satisfied with this answer, crossing his arms as his father tucked him in.
"I bet it was fun, whatever he found."
His father paused, before giving him a bright smile.
"You'll find out soon enough, Louis."All Rights Reserved

A Song of Faithless Shadows by yourlocalsag

Gwyneth had always felt connected to her faith, a higher power presiding over her. That faith had shaken that devastating day those years ago, the day that went on to haunt her every nightmare for years to come. She's still trying to come back from it, to not only restore her faith in life and love, but her faith in herself. The sanctity of her spirit- she prayed for resolve. Every punch was a prayer. Every mile was a hymn. Until her knuckles bled and her knees gave. Azriel had been surrounded by darkness his whole life, a poison on his world, on his being. He exercised restraint in his every waking moment, banishing that darkness within himself. Some guessed of the strain it put on him, but no one knew the extent of it, how deep his scars ran. It was better this way, he was sure. He had always thought that if there were a higher power- which he wholly doubted- such deities must loathe him to have burdened him such darkness. He hadn't much faith in the gods anyway, much less faith that he could sway their opinion on him. But Gwyneth and Azriel did have one thing in common: the quiet fight within themselves. They only knew one way: to go about it alone, couldn't fathom letting another in. But there's a magic in finding someone who is your equal but opposite, something transforming. And frankly, Gwyneth and Azriel could both use a little magic. All characters owned by SJM in the ACOTAR series. Story takes place after the events of ACOSF. Aligns with the events in my other fic: A Storm of Flames and Deceit. I haven't finished Crescent City, so this story takes place outside of the events of those books as well.

Beauty and the Demon - Septiplier by IheartTMNT

Once upon a time, as most stories begin with, in the hidden heart of Ireland, there was a very handsome prince named Sean. He was rich beyond compare, he taxed village people to fill his castle with the most beautiful objects. All though Sean had everything he needed and wanted, he was selfish, greedy, and unkind. One night, an old beggar woman came to his castle, seeking shelter from the bitter storm. She had nothing but a single rose she offered him. From her old and ugly appearance, Sean turned the woman away. The woman warned Sean not be deceived by haggard appearances...for beauty is found within. When he dismissed the woman again, the woman's appearance changed only to reveal a beautiful enchantress. Sean begged for forgiveness but it was to late, for the enchantress has only seen selfishness in Sean's heart. As punishment, she turned him into a hideous demon and placed a spell on the castle and all who lived there. As days lead into years, Sean and his servants were forgotten by the world for the enchantress erased all memory of them. And the rose the enchantress gave Sean was truly a enchanted rose. If he could learn to love another, (a male or female), and earn their love in return before the last petal falls, the curse will be broken. If not, Sean will remain a demon, for all time. The prince had fell into disrepair, for who could learn...to love a demon?

The Blood Witch by RavenMoonspark

When you come from the bloodthirsty gods and goddesses, you become bloodthirsty yourself. When they force you to feel their power, or either make your life a hellish experience in order to get what they want from you, chances are, you'll do what they tell you to. Bloodthirsty gods. Painful games that force people to fight to the death in order to get a small chance of survival. Love that turns tragic. Mythical beings who are all very much real. And of course, lots and lots of chaos and magic. If this sounds interesting, check this story out. You will meet the Blood Witch, forced to kill for the bloodthirsty gods who have taken her captive. You'll meet the warlocks who are kind, not evil, and all want to protect their friends and family. You'll be faced with the gods of this world, who are all very twisted and demented, a bit more evil than you'd think originally.

Kingdom of the Zodiac by SBLoveAuthor

The locals had warned me that no one in their right mind would enter the North Woods alone, not unless they had a death wish. It's a good thing then that I am not in my right mind. Fear had prevented me from returning to this place for years, but the nightmares depriving me of sleep threatened to steal what little sanity I had left, leaving me with no other choice than to confront the source of my apprehension. I was tired of pretending that everything was ok. That I was ok. I needed the nightmares to stop. But in order for that to happen, I needed to uncover my lost memories. The North Woods held answers, of that much I was certain. So here I stand, ready to face my past. If only I could get my legs to move. **FIRST DRAFT - UNEDITED **

Everything Has a Price by NoraBoyle2

As Nora delved deeper into the game "The Ethereal Realm," her fingers danced across the keys and mouse, immersed in the virtual world that consumed her screen. The open world expanded, a vast and detailed landscape unfurling before her eyes. She navigated winding mountain paths, the cool air of the peaks enveloping her avatar. Forests, teeming with foliage and the echoing call of mythical creatures, stretched out before her as she wandered through their depths. Cities and villages dotted the landscape, teeming with residents-Dragons, Mernundas, and creatures beyond her imagination. One fateful night, after her children were fast asleep, she was suddenly interrupted by a message appearing on her screen. "Hero, I need your help." With that, the screen starts glitching, and before Nora can react, she is sucked into the game itself, finding herself in the very realm she was just playing in... (Self-insert because I can! Hehehe! Let me know if there are any mistakes I need to fix. Also, I'm pulling this story out of my butt, so please be patient with me.)

Blue Side by Jimin_YoongTae

"What the hell?" The book in my hands glowed, letting out a bright yellow light. I panicked, dropping the book to the floor and began to back up. But it was no use as a powerful force dragged me closer and closer to book, I let out a scream as I was then sucked in. "Hey, miss.." I heard a soft voice call, "Miss, please wake up. You can't sleep there, you'll catch a cold." I opened my eyes with a groan, my vision blurred for a moment. It soon cleared up and I was shocked when I saw a handsome young man with soft eyes standing directly over me. "Ahh!!" "Ahh!!" He shouted, backing up from me as I sat up. "Who- Who are you?" I looked around, noticing that I was no longer in my library at home. Instead, I was laying on soft, green lush grass in the middle of the forest. "Where am I?" I looked back at the young man, taken back by his handsomeness. His eyes softened for a moment, before widening and he opened his mouth. "Oh, my gosh!! The prophecy Came true!!!" "What prophecy?" "The Prophecy of Eurodipes. You are the one who Will save our world!" "huh?" Follow the adventure of a lifetime as a young girl is sucked into a mysterious book, which teleports her to a whole new world. There she will meet seven young men, all of whom claim that she is the one to save their world. #OT7 BTS Poly relationship x OC

Mercy & Fire by daughteroftMH

Adrenaline pumped in my veins as I pressed myself against the large tree trunk, hoping the darkness would conceal me from my impending doom. My heart hammered against my ribs and cold sweat gathered at my palms and chest. His armor clanked and clinked, scraping against itself as he grew closer and closer... Then silence. "Come out little rabbit." The voice was deep and menacing, and I would've soiled myself right there if I were any younger. I couldn't see very well, but I could see what little moonlight that filtered through the trees reflected off a pale face. His gaze was like a hungry, crazed wolf hunting its prey. "Found you." *** Roselena is satisfied with helping her father run his printing business in her childhood village, but in the face of kingdom rising against kingdom, she finds herself thrown into a world of political tensions, magical beings, and the plot of a God. She struggles to define who she is, what she believes, and who she can trust. Worst of all, she seems to have been snared by a cruel King who can't seem to leave her alone. In a world going up in flames, Roselena can only hope to find mercy amongst the burning fire. Warning: Themes of SA, religion, human sacrifice, gore, and some explicit language.

Who will Arise? by MashBap

Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.
