Old tales speak of Spanish Kings wielding a blade that could peirce the soul. A rapier supposedly crafted from the blood of god himself, a weapon that in the right hands, can release the Light in one's heart, or in the wrong hands, darkness. This weapon is one of a kind, and extremely valuable. It's name was Alma.

And now, in the year 1583, it's been seen somewhere in Europe, after it's owners, the Amadeo Family, have lost track of it. Seeing an opportunity, 16th Century Merchant and Italian nobleman Virgil Mancini has set out on a journey across Europe, in hopes of adding this rare blade to his collection. This is a Journal, left behind by the late Mancini, and it details his search for Alma, and his subsequent descent into madness.

that one SWURD by xyltharion
9 parts Ongoing
Long ago, when the world was young and humanity struggled against the forces of chaos, the gods intervened. They forged a sword, not as a weapon of destruction, but as a gift of hope. Each god poured a fragment of their essence into it-courage, wisdom, resilience, and strength. It's a sword meant for everything possible. For centuries, the blade lay hidden, waiting for the right moment to be discovered. It wasn't buried in gold or locked away in a grand vault-it rested quietly in the heart of the earth, untouched and unseen, until the time was right. When the first hand grasped the hilt, the sword came alive. Its surface shimmered with an otherworldly glow, a promise of the power within. The one who found it didn't know the gods had shaped it, nor did they understand the weight of what they held. But the sword recognized them. It responded to their strength, their resolve, and their needs. As the blade cut through the darkness for the first time, it wasn't just its edge that brought change. It was the force behind it-the will to fight for survival, for something greater than fear. With every swing, the sword grew brighter, stronger, as if it fed not on blood but on purpose. Though the gods forged the blade, it wasn't theirs anymore. In that moment, it became part of humanity, a bond between the divine and mortal worlds. And for the one who wielded it, the sword was more than steel and magic-it was a companion, a guide, and a silent promise: you are not alone. Thus began the sword's journey, not just as a tool of battle, but as a symbol of what humanity could become. And though its path was just beginning, the gods knew it would go on, far beyond what even they could imagine. (this is my very first novel. I got my inspiration from a nail clipper)

Long ago, in a world not dissimilar from our own, seven powerful mysterious weapons were forged. After centuries of dormancy, safely hidden from those who could abuse their power, one man's curiosity drove him to discover the resting place of one such weapon: an indestructible sword with a deep desire to be unleashed upon the world. Even though he failed to free the blade, he inadvertently woke it. The weapon cursed him, dooming the oldest in his bloodline to hear the its call, enticing them to follow in his footsteps and seek it as he once did.

The Forgotten Savior by SmikeyYt
14 parts Complete
No one ever truly saw Malik Vireo. He was the kind of man people sought in times of need-offering guidance, shouldering burdens, and helping others find their way. But once their problems were solved, they forgot him. They always did. Then, one fateful night, a dying god granted him a blessing: the power to correct the world's mistakes. With a mere thought, he could mend broken souls, undo disasters, and rewrite fate itself. But there was a cost. Each time he used his power, a piece of his soul disappeared. And no one-not even those he saved-could remember what he had done. As Malik fades into obscurity, the one person he ever loved-Aeris Varela-remains blind to his suffering. She never loved him back, never even noticed his pain. But when Malik makes the ultimate sacrifice to erase humanity's greatest sin, the world finally sees him-just as he begins to disappear forever. For the first time, they remember. But is it too late to save the man who spent his life saving everyone else?
Sorumeito's Veil by 3trnalPsn
10 parts Ongoing Mature
In a future where technology and mysticism intertwine, humanity has unlocked a gateway to the spirit realm. In a bustling cyberpunk metropolis governed by Sorumeito, a secretive organization promises a utopia where souls are carefully selected for reincarnation to achieve global harmony. Dr. Alma, a pioneering scientist, unveils a startling truth: Sorumeito has been manipulating the reincarnation process, unwittingly funneling purgatory spirits back into the mortal coil. Crime surges as these troubled souls wreak havoc across the cityscape. When Dr. Alma mysteriously disappears, her daughter, Emilia, driven by a quest for truth and justice, delves deep into the neon-lit underbelly of the city. Armed with forbidden knowledge and aided by unlikely allies-a rogue technomancer and a streetwise informant-she unravels a conspiracy that threatens not only the fabric of their society but the balance between the worlds of the living and the dead. As Emilia navigates the shadowy realms of both flesh and spirit, she must confront Sorumeito's enigmatic enforcers, unearth long-buried family secrets, and ultimately confront the true architects of a world where the line between salvation and damnation blurs. In a high-stakes tale of redemption and revolution, "Sorumeito's Veil" is a gripping fusion of cyberpunk grit and supernatural intrigue, where the fate of humanity hinges on the unraveling of mysteries that transcend the boundaries of life and death. I have submitted this story to Royal Roads as well (11/16/24)

Single Father's Guide to Monster Hunting by BossaNovaFlare_1
27 parts Ongoing Mature
"Daddy, please don't turn off the lights. The monsters will find me." Ana pleaded as she pulled the covers up to her nose. "Don't worry, Ana. There's no such thing as monsters." Frank answered before flexing dramatically, earning a giggle from her, "Besides, if they tried to hurt you, I'd just beat 'em up!" "Promise?" "Promise." He kissed her forehead before he tucked her in and turned off the light. "Goodnight, angel." --- The world changed overnight. A mysterious system appeared in everyone's minds announcing the detection of a "Breach." Monsters unlike anything humanity had ever seen before began to emerge, immediately ending one-third of the world's population. And that was just in the beginning. Every father wants to be their daughter's hero. It's an unspoken rule written into every man's DNA. But most fathers aren't pitted up against eight legged abominations. Frank was just an ordinary man; no training, no experience, just depression and a four year old. Yet, he was all that stood between Ana and certain death. If that's the way it was, then he couldn't back down. He made a promise, and he would keep it or die trying. Luckily, the world wasn't entirely merciless. This "System" granted humanity a fighting chance: otherworldly gifts and powers that defied the laws of nature. While Frank's gift wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, it did give him power. Power enough to hopefully keep his daughter safe, and punish the monsters that dared threaten her in the first place!
