Kings cry at night over visions of a dark rider, and severed heads decide the fate of countries. In the midst of it all, a hunter of monsters tries to stay on the path others tell him he must follow.

With a name that precedes him wherever he goes, and a visage more horrifying than the monsters he slays, the woes of the world will inevitably find him.


{Inspired by the gritty yet wonderful world of The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski.}

Damsel Knight by samaustinwriter
11 parts Complete
Sometimes the best knight is a damsel. In a world where women are seen as weak, defenceless creatures for men to protect and own, one orphan girl wants to be different. She dreams of being a knight. Slaying dragons, taking down armies with her father's sword. Only her foster parents don't agree with her views. On the night of her betrothal to a man over twice her age, the King's soldiers come to their tiny village, and in the chaotic aftermath she's left with a choice. Go back to life she knows and marry a man she despises. Or journey onward and risk death to earn the knighthood she dreams of. The road forward isn't a safe one for a girl travelling with only her foster brother as company. Magic lurks in dark places. Vengeance burrows deep in many equally dark hearts. And all around the circle armies are gathering to defend the Kingdom against a threat not seen for a thousand years. This is the first part of the 140 thousand word fantasy adventure.

The Guardsmen by Nguyenian
51 parts Complete Mature
In the fantastical kingdom of Adrith, the King employs individuals into being his royal guards called: The Guardsmen. This adventure follows a group of new guardsmen that must power through a variety overwhelming challenges, deaths, and battles between demons both within and externally. Dark themes and morals will rise up and test the bounds of what they are capable of. Note: I have drawn inspiration and ideas from a variety of sources. While some parts are a lot more obvious than others, I drew inspiration from: Attack on Titan, Bleach, Naruto, Hitman Reborn, HunterxHunter, Blood-C, Kuroko's Basketball, Undertale, and The Legend of Korra. [At least that is all that I can remember at the moment] Thank you for reading!

As Aiden expected though, the trip goes wrong once again. Only thing is, he didn't know that it was going to be worse then any of them could've imagined. When all the drama from the trip dies down a little, a certain someone is forced to stay with them. After a couple of days, however, this "someone" shows no sign of leaving.

In our world, there are two forces. One of darkness, and one of light. The forces of darkness dwell underground, in large caverns and ravines. The inhabitants of these spaces are demons, who are born of fear and anger, and thirst for it. These nightmarish creatures have one goal: slaughter the human race, and take over the world. Enter the forces of light. To them, genocide isn't that cool. They're like, "How about you NOT do that, 'k?" These shining paladins of hope (most of them, anyway) are trained to defend the world from these monsters. The guardians of the light are trained to protect at the 'Гэрэл Чапел' (The Chapel of Light). Jace, who came to the school expecting such, has spent years (one and a half) preparing himself to fight. However, he soon learns that the fight runs much deeper, and the stakes are much higher than he thought.

This is a multimedia webnovel with giant city-crushing monsters, a valiant man who dares to fight them, a hero who loses himself on a righteous path, and a darkness which conceives a profound love. But I suck at descriptions, so I strongly encourage you to click the first chapter and see what you think. I hope you enjoy!
The Sister of Lust by Naemmen93
20 parts Complete Mature
"Imagine, if you will, a creature who's never felt fear before and you were given the task to inform it of the concept. How would you go about doing it? Would you try to describe it, the concept of terror, or absolute horror? Would you give it an example? Or would you show it what to fear and describe how one might react? Remember, one man's nightmare is another man's dream. How then would you show, teach, or give someone a taste of what fear is, when fear and lust are twins from the same worldly womb?" Fear clutches its claws around us differently. Some representations may have spindly legs prickling our skin. Others will have huge monstrous frames giving you the sense of helplessness and futility standing in its shadow. Others are more formless and unknown, sowing doubt and untruths like a farmer harvesting lies. Erik, sadly, finds himself in a position where he can only wish for such a feeling. Be it fear, love, joy or anger. And where Erik searches for something he has lost, Sarah searches for something she has always had, but is somehow difficult to reach. And as Sarah tries to leave her fears behind her a little four-legged creature is introduced to the concept of fear for the very first time.
