Based on the Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition Ravenloft Setting.

It has many names. The soul. The life-spirit. In the deserts of Har'Akir, it is called The Ka. It is the essence that inspires life in all beings and brings joy, sadness, and all other feelings that make life real. Above all, it gives the greatest gift - the ability to die. After his many crimes, the gods stripped away the Ka of the cruel Pharaoh Ankhtepot and cursed him to an eternity of undeath. The pharaoh, unable to sate his hunger, quench his thirst, or feel the light of the sun on his face, filled Har'Akir with his undead armies and forced the people's worship towards him. Every being - living, dead, or undead, was driven into a nonstop search for the pharaoh's Ka. Years, millenia, and ages passed. Ankhtepot's fury waned, but never his arrogance. His search for the Ka proved fruitless and many lost faith in his leadership. Alive, but not living, the pharaoh retreated into isolation as his priests continued the search. He covets one thing, and one thing only - death.All Rights Reserved

Shattered Walls by nadkaznan

For centuries, the people of Labirent have thrived behind the towering Wall-an impenetrable barrier protecting them from a predatory race known as sylvans that prowl the world beyond. The citizens live in peace, but the strict laws that bind them eventually give rise to rebels and criminals, heretics and heroes alike as resources start to dwindle. Rhaskrea, a gifted healer, has always adhered to the laws, using her talent to mend bodies and ease suffering caused by a band of insurgents known as the Harbingers, for whom she works. An ambush on the Harbinger's lair sends Rhaskrea and the Harbinger's leader over the Wall. As she journeys to find a way back in, Rhaskrea uncovers secrets about the Wall that might be the key to unraveling the mysteries behind Labirent's isolation-if she survives long enough to tell them. ˚. ─────⊱ °✠° ⊰─────.˚ Attack on Titan meets Labyrinth with a dash of Prince of Thorns in this grimdark fantasy tale of courage, discovery, and the blurred line between safety and freedom.

Desert Wind by Czekoladowa27

Dear Reader, I challenge you to a duel! Yes, exactly! Prepare for a battle. The battle for your heart and soul. I'm about to whisk you away and immerse you in a world brimming with magic and secrets. But fear not, on this adventure through the wilderness, you'll be accompanied by Klelia and... that's a surprise :)) Your task is simple. You have to survive... Are you ready to take up the challenge? "I'm dead. I died back in that hut. I don't exist anymore. And now, after everything that's happened, you want to talk?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise. "Who am I to you?" He closed the distance in an instant. I had nowhere to escape; there was a wall behind me, and he stood before me. "Are you really asking who you are to me, Klelia? You are my sun and moon. The source of my suffering and pleasure. My oxygen. I breathe you every day. Every second of life without you is worthless. Without you, there is no me. That's what you are to me. My private universe. I want to immerse myself in you. To lose myself." "I'm dangerous. At any moment, I could..." Tears welled up in my eyes. "I'm not like you." "You're no more dangerous than me," he interrupted, kissing me hungrily, as if he were desperate for air. P.S. Grab your best sword and cape. Despite appearances, desert nights can be cold.

Spiral by Chimera_Regarion

So here's the deal: I'm fifteen, practically invisible in my own family, and now being shipped off to Grandma's house for the summer. Just when I thought things couldn't get more predictable, she hands me this old, mystical necklace, and suddenly, bam-I'm in way over my head. Apparently, I'm the proud new owner of a one-way ticket to a world where old egyption society rule over realms of light and darkness, and mythical creatures actually exist. But here's the twist-this isn't just some magical vacation spot. People are after me, or more specifically, the necklace, because it's the key to power in this world. And guess who's expected to protect it? Yup, me. The worst part? No one asked if I was interested in saving the world. But you know what? If they think I'm backing down... they clearly don't know me very well.

Gamleon's Tail ~ Welcome to the worlds of : Within ~ by Cicada3300

I wrote this for EVERYONE. An introduction to my universe.Best for slow , attentive , close reading. Stick with it. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long ) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mystery and enjoy its intrigue.. The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world in inevitable finality. The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. What does it take to take everything? Every home, every name, every last trace of what once was. And who would do such a thing? And how? No one has ever seen anything that would make them believe in magic. Gamleon is the first to see and to survive. His mind near collapse under the strain, his heart broken. He runs. What would you do? What could anyone do? A world of mythological beasts and medieval men, where Gorgon hordes slither beneath the earth, clawing for metal, for power, for anything. But they come for your children. Opulent kings wage wars over things no one can even recall, blind to the coming obliteration. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out the cataclysm. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Our weary, world-worn adventurer is a paradox: terrifying perhaps, yet tender, grotesque but with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. With no choice but to navigate the unexpected Gorgon tunnels, his inner thoughts help us all learn how to persist and triumph in the face of impossible odds. Join him and be swept away as he reconciles never-before-seen innovations and insurmountable challenges. Dignity and hope. Self-respect and courage.

The Unyielding Blade of Drakar Vorn by MelvinAlic

The Unyielding Blade of Drakar Vorn In a world fractured by ancient calamity, where celestial titans once reigned and the Veil separating realms has begun to unravel, an orc warrior's destiny will reshape the fate of nations. Born into a brutal world where strength determines survival, Drakar Vorn rises not from privilege, but from hardship. When a mysterious artifact known as the Veil Compass binds his fate to an ancient stronghold-the legendary Eryndral's Bastion-Drakar is thrust into a trial of cosmic significance. Alongside his loyal companions-Taronis, a stoic swordsman haunted by his past, and Kaelen, a sharp-tongued elven archer-Drakar must endure trials that test not only his strength but his soul. In the heart of forgotten ruins and beneath a shattered sky, they face spectral warriors, starforged guardians, and the echoes of a world undone by ambition and fear. But Drakar's journey is more than a fight for survival. As alliances form and enemies emerge from across realms-human warlords, dragon clans, and ancient sorcerers-Drakar must decide what kind of leader he will become. His ruthless resolve and compassion for those who yield will forge his legend, but shadows of betrayal and the burden of truth threaten to break even the unyielding. Armed with the strength of his ancestors, the mysterious Echo's Fragment, and the will to defy fate, Drakar must rise-or fall-as the protector of a world caught between ruin and rebirth.

The Raven - Born Out The Earth by milz0923

'"I cannot feel this way. You clearly don't feel-" "I do though." He interrupts me. I finally look up to meet his eyes. It holds so much sadness. "Believe it or not but it hurts me every time I see tears in your eyes." His hands reach for my face, one more time and gently wipes the tears off my face. No matter what, the tears keep flowing down. "Please don't cry." He whispers. "You have someone out there just for you. Waiting for you." I whisper softly. A sad smile forms on my face that is now saltier than the ocean bed itself. I try to tug his hand off my face, but his hold is firm. He leans his head down and places it against mine. "I know." His whisper equally soft. "You need to let go. Just as I am." I close my eyes and take in the breeze of ocean that surrounds him and now me. I hear a deep growl just as his hold tighten on my face but it's still gentle.' For the little Raven that was born out the woods, life was only about the survival of fittest. Hunt or be hunted. Until Aya came along and showed her that there was more to life. They became family, sisters and promised to stay together forever. But what happens when one of them finds their mate? Read along to find out the story of Amara Raven on her journey to find a place she belongs. Completed: 12/05/20 Can be read alone!

A Third Kind- Sample- Chapters 1-9 by JCCampbellauthor

A monster hides in plain sight, feeding off of humanity while yearning to return to it. He was to have been an immortal undead, to have power and strength like he'd never known in mortal life. The Vampyrs lied. They took his life, but when he awoke he was not a Vampyr. He was something else, a creature so foul they abandoned him to die alone in a crypt deep underground. Kaleb survived by skulking in the shadows and preying on the dregs of society. Until now. In one moment of carelessness, a young woman witnesses Kaleb's atrocities. Unable to kill her, Kaleb takes the girl hostage, and that's when his life begins to crumble around him. When the local ruling Vampyr clan realizes what is living in their midst, they come in force to destroy Kaleb and wipe every last trace of his existence from the face of the earth.

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One by RKSHobbs

Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.

Desert Umbra by AngeDeVerdun

I am the sister of Rick O'Connell. I was thrown into this adventure unwillingly by my brother, to Hamunaptra where I met this beautiful man who is the protector of evil and in ancient days the pharaoh's bodyguard. But there is a darkness surrounding us, something sinister that I cannot quite pinpoint. Good for me, the darkness has always been my friend. #1 in Universal 12/26/2024 #2 in Ardeth 12/21/2024 #3 in the Mummy 12/21/2024 #6 in Ardeth Bay 12/21/2024 #10 in plague 12/21/2024
