When a heroic Silver Knight from ancient times unexpectedly finds himself in the dying world of the fading fire, his only ally appears to be a vulgar woman who scavenges for souls. But is there more to her than meets the eye?
He wants to find his lost wife. She only wants to survive. As they tackle the horrors of Lordran and meet famous Dark Souls characters, their pact of convenience might turn into a deeper connection.

The Age of Solace: The Silver Wolf by -loneXwolf97-
63 parts Complete Mature
Volume 1 of the "Age of Solace" series. (Part 1 of 4). A serious dark-fantasy story. Descriptive violence and gore, as well as dark themes (Rated M, no lemons present). Peace. Conflict. War. Bloodshed. This is the way of things, and this is what happened between the dragons and mankind. Once they were allies. Man was ever growing and learning, while dragons were their guardians, watching over them. But mankind was greedy, and from that greed bred betrayal towards their great allies. In times long ago, dragon and man worked together to rid their realms of the demonic presence that once invaded their lands. Together, they defeated that enemy. But now, dragons are near extinct and the demonic menace has returned. There are humans that possess abilities that allow them to fight back, but it is not enough. Such humans have banded together, in a group called Corvin's blades. They hope to be able to defeat their enemy without the aid of dragons this time... but there is more to all of this than anyone understands. This story follows multiple youthful characters as they not only aid in the fight against the demonic threat, but learn and grow as they discover more about the lands they live in and of themselves. Views on dragons are changing, demons and spirits are invading, and two individuals are in the center of everything that is happening. Was it fate and destiny... or choice and coincidence? *Rated M for descriptive violence and gore, as well as dark themes* * Chapters to be updated* *Cover art was made by myself.

The Voice Within by Robertonewyork

In a world where races like elves, dwarves, and humans are constantly at odds, Ryker, a teenage boy, is caught in the middle of a dangerous pursuit. Born half-elf, half-human, Ryker's very existence is illegal, forcing him to live in hiding with his guardian, Doc, a mysterious and skilled doctor who raised him with discipline and care. On the night of Ryker's birth, a violent storm raged, and a strange face appeared in the fire, marking his life with an air of mystery and danger. Now, on his 17th birthday, Ryker's secret is discovered, and multiple races-including gods-begin hunting him for reasons he does not yet understand. Doc, always prepared for emergencies, has trained Ryker in survival tactics, teaching him to use hidden meeting points and escape routes. But for the first time, Ryker must put these plans into action on his own. As he tries to evade capture, Ryker reflects on the strained yet loving bond he shares with Doc, recalling moments of harsh lessons and tough love. Despite Doc's strictness, Ryker knows he is more than capable of handling the dangerous world around him. He must now navigate a forest filled with guards, untrustworthy villagers, and his own fears, all while unraveling the mystery of his heritage and why so many are after him. Armed with his intelligence, survival skills, and a powerful weapon said to be able to destroy gods, Ryker embarks on a journey that will challenge everything he knows about himself and the world. As he faces powerful enemies, including gods, and confronts the mystery of his father, Ryker discovers that his mixed blood may be the key to saving-or destroying-the world.

After the flame finally died down, a world has come to an end. But, what happens to the keeper of the flame? Feels like I should clarify Volume 1 is nothing much. Just generic mcu stuff. No additional plot or any other stuff. Volume 2 is for further dark souls stuff and the intro for the start of my own plot. Volume 3 consists of the addition of bloodborne and more of my own plot. Volume 4 ???
