How does it feel to witness history unfold before your very eyes? To live a thousand years more and watch nations change all around you?

*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*

Maalik Seti, a troubled father living in the 4th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, suffers from his own blind anger. Losing control of reality, he finds himself lashing out at the world in rage despite only ever wanting to be the definition of a good man.

But when tragedy strikes, Maalik stares into the face of death as his life is permanently changed. He becomes cursed with the power of immortality. He can still bleed and perish, continuing to die as he becomes reborn each time. Never aging, never permanently resting. 

Will he accept this curse as he lives on for thousands of years? When nations turn to war and events change the course of human history altogether; Maalik will experience it all. Thousands of years worth of history await him as he continues to live for an eternity.

And through it all, his curse lingers. His sanity diminishes and his bloodlust awakens as he battles himself when his wrath attempts to take control. Is Maalik the hero he's always wanted to be, or is he the villain of his own story?

Glory in War: GAME ON (Part 1) by Hirokatsu800
17 parts Complete Mature
"Glory in War" is an ongoing project with the goal of becoming a potential animated series in the future. Any feedback, review or even comment are welcomed and could help into the story's delivery. For more information, please consider visiting the "WELCOME" Page before starting. WARNING: This part of the series is currently under editing. If you happen to see flaws in any chapter or have your own ideas to make it even better, please let me know. Chapters from other parts of the series are not excluded. Thank you in advance! The part has been fully edited up until: Chapter 2. OVERALL DESCRIPTION: Legends tell of a war that has brought misery upon our lands, separating us from the united civilisation we once carved into the sand gifted by the suns. It was worse than a punishment from the gods, with the souls of the fallen ones still remaining to fight for the honour and protection of the home they once had, for their stories lost among the land of war, and for the glory they have given in exchange of the blade of memories, witness to their sins, losing themselves into the chaos of fate. Now, only the new generations are capable of changing this chaos and bring peace into our lands. We can only hope that the gods have written our peaceful ending into our fate. PART DESCRIPTION: The first part of "Glory in War" focuses on getting to know the world of a corrupted society resulted from a horrific war. One part of this civilisation is put to hide in the shadows of the lands in order to survive, while the other part hunts them with no hesitation, wishing to kill even the last man possible. As for what there is to come, let's say the gods have already written their story. After all, the eyes of The Watcher have opened. CONTENT WARNING: This story contains strong language and dives into subjects such as violence, gore, death, abuse, slavery, cannibalism and mentions of rape. Reader discretion is advised.
Echoed Whispers of Love by thaliahbridget
45 parts Complete Mature
Mazi thinks everything is fixable given the right tools and time, just not herself. She's irreversibly broken, incomplete, a lost cause. Living in the grey area of not quite dead but not really living, she's the perfect definition of a paradox. Gray is her contradiction. He sees life through more than the lens of black and white. Only living enough to make it through each day. Get up, fix cars, work a second job, sleep, rinse, repeat. Maybe what they need is a little spice in their lives; maybe what they need is a match lit under their asses. "I hate how I noticed the small details, like the slight dusting of freckles below his eyes and across his nose... His eyes. His eyes made me feel like they could see right through me. It was a combination of alarming and mesmerizing. There is no other way to describe him other than intense. My abysmal past with men should be enough to scare me off, to go to any cost to avoid him. It has done exceptionally well in spooking me off the footpath leading to disaster with men every single time, nearly. This time appears to be the exception. I hate that. He is the epitome of the fine line between hate and love. I take that back, I just love to hate him. The way he speaks to me only makes my anger flare. The way he looks at me makes my body temperature rise." Read more to follow their whirlwind romance, healing traumas, and the mending of hearts they didn't break. Update every week!

But one fateful encounter with the enigmatic and dangerous Aditya Malhotra pulls her back into a world of shadows and forbidden longing.

As their paths intertwine, Isha finds herself drawn to him in ways she can't explain. His touch ignites a dangerous fire, and his presence haunts her thoughts, making her question everything she thought she knew about love, desire, and her own limits. But Aditya isn't just a man. He's a storm-one that could destroy her... or set her free. In a world where love comes at a price, Isha must decide whether to succumb to the darkness or walk away before it's too late. *Dark Desire* is a tale of passion, obsession, and the blurred line between light and dark. In this dangerous dance between love and control, can one survive the storm of their own heart? Tere aankhon mein ek gehraayi hai, jo dil ko duba leti hai, Jab tu kehde, toh poora jahan bhi mere haath mein hota hai. Par mere jazbaat, mere haq mein na chalke, Teri khudgarzi ka hi hukm chalne lagta hai."

What's worse than a past that comes back to haunt you? One you don't even know. When Edin awoke in a stranger's bedroom, having forgotten everything but his name and age, he did not expect to be thrown into an ongoing war. As a gifted - a rare group of humans born with special abilities - Edin is forced to become a guardian and protect the realm of Idelhen from monsters, lest mankind fall prey to darkness. Arden Mægenstern, Idelhen's strongest guardian and the last stand against a sorcerer more powerful than most gifteds combined, takes Edin under her wing and works with him to restore his memories. A fateful encounter with a beast deems Edin worthy of becoming a guardian, and his sheer power promises an end to the sorcerer's reign of terror. However, just as he's thrust onto the battlefield, he realizes that there are other monsters than the feral creatures he's forced to slay. And they're waging a war within him. As Edin's inner demons and obscure past creep out of the shadows, the world wonders whether he really is Idelhen's next hope or its demise in disguise. Only blood will tell.

Do your genes, your parents, teachers, or your master determine who you will be in life? Can they set your value in the universe? 650 years ago the known species of the universe came together and signed the Alliance, a document that would help each race find its place in the universe. It granted freedom to some and the scant protection of slavery to others. Into this society a handful of children are born who will change it forever, if they can survive to adulthood. Here is the origin story of two of those children. Hathu is born to a man determined to make the universe bow to him and his species. Since he learned to talk, Hathu has been a disappointment to his father. He doesn't want to become a warrior, and he refuses to assert his dominance. When he accidentally overhears his father plotting against the Ir'Klahn empire, can Hathu stop him? Mik is born with no rights, destined to become a lifelong slave. His mother tries to protect him from this fate by running away and finding a home for them on a trading ship that travels from world to world. They are safe for now, but how long can they hide from the best trackers in the universe? This is the first book in the My Kingdom Come series. Updates every Tuesday. :) My 2021 Nanowrimo so please excuse the unedited condition of the story. Be warned: there is violence, rape, murder, abuse, self harm and suicidal thoughts in this story.

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

Rudra: A Tale of Wrath

"Rudra: A Tale of Wrath" is a gripping medieval epic about blood, betrayal, and the unrelenting rage of a fallen warrior. Rudra, once an innocent boy from the peaceful kingdom of Aarambha, had his life shattered when war tore his family apart. As a child, he witnessed the brutal destruction of his home, the capture of his family, and the horrifying deaths of his loved ones in the ruthless prison of Mrtyukupah. Forged in suffering and scarred by unimaginable loss, Rudra grew to become a merciless warrior-feared by all, bound by pain, and driven by an undying thirst for vengeance. Now, at the age of 78, his body still strong and battle-worn, he recounts his haunting past to a young girl who trembles at the sight of the living legend. Through his words, she learns not just of war and violence, but of the fragile line between heroism and monstrosity. Was Rudra ever truly a villain, or merely a man shaped by endless tragedy? A tale of trauma, regret, survival, and the brutal cost of war-Rudra: A Tale of Wrath will take you on an unforgettable journey where the echoes of the past never fade. ---
