''When I grow up, I want to see the world!'' So says every child, one day. But much like the abyss, the world looks back.

On an endless sea where islands rise and sink every day, a man with many names and a past he'd rather die than reveal tries to survive. He wonders what will finally do him in-the world, or his lies?All Rights Reserved

Thirty Credits by Akiboo

Kael Morrigan is nineteen years old and already broken. In a world where Gates tore apart reality and flooded seventy percent of Earth with monsters, there are no countries left-only Sectors. Walled fortresses where humanity's remnants huddle behind concrete and pray the next Gate doesn't rupture before the Hunters clear it. Seventy-two hours. That's all the time between survival and annihilation. Kael isn't a Hunter. He's a porter-the lowest, most expendable piece of the industry that keeps humanity alive. Every morning, Gate sirens wail. Every day, the countdown begins again. Every night, Kael comes home with contaminated lungs, bleeding hands, and barely enough to buy protein paste and recycled water. The Hunters call him deadweight. The corporations see him as replaceable. His neighbors avoid his eyes because they know he's just another corpse waiting for a Gate to claim him. But Kael gets up anyway. Binds his ruined feet. Shoulders his pack. Walks into the monsters' den. Not for glory or hope-those luxuries died with the old world. He does it because two girls in a freezing room need him to come home alive. In a world drowning in nightmares, survival isn't heroic. It's just refusing to quit when quitting would be easier than breathing. This is the story of how far one man will break before he's finally free. == If you'd like to support my work, you can check out my Patreon; it'll have advance chapters for free. Patreon.com/akibo

The Last Oath: The Decline and Fall by Bob12mob

What happens when narration becomes magic and monsters become stories? When meaning crumbles beneath the whispers of tales, and certainties drown in the din of words, truth wears a thousand faces at the windows of night. Survive. When the untold fades, and the unseen is lost. Endure. As kingdoms fall and life ebbs away, as souls awaken only to cage themselves within the lines of pages. Fight. For what remains is a silent longing to wake again, upon the shores of a dream unborn. ------------------------------------------------------------ A multi-character fantasy tale set in a world that has forgotten how to define itself, where eras chase one another in confusion. Knights confront the unknown, detectives battle dragons, and vampires raise dogs. The stars are wrathful, the kingdoms have fallen, and magic stands stripped bare. ---------------------------------------------------------------- For those who do not like indirect suggestion: A cruel, innovative magic system A dark fantasy that blends classic fantasy, horror, and the supernatural. Long story and slow build (although you can judge it in the second chapter) Multiple characters and a big world Exploiting (inspiration from) myths, epics and legends in worldbuilding Legends from all over the world: Europe, Africa, America, Middle East, Australia, Asia, Ireland etc. Mystery, investigation, and the need to analyze, focus, and use your knowledge and abilities to reach conclusions and form your opinion before the characters do (you are part of the investigation, not just the characters) Warning: "Contains graphic violence" "Not suitable for children"

My Silver-Haired Demon by Zarkkill

A man with a seriously messed up life and a load of mental problems made a lot of mistakes in his life but one stands above the rest. The story is about one man with a broken mind doing everything he can to try and make up for the wrong he did and find the woman he loves. This story is very intense and isn't for light reading. I think of the story like this: This isn't the story of a hero slaying a dragon and rescuing the princess. Nor is this a story about a hero who triumphs over evil and rescues the maiden in peril. This is the story of a man, who fights as much with himself, as he does the world around him. He is no hero, he is simply a man, trying to make the best he can of himself, and fix what he broke. He is both the protagonist, and antagonist of this story, because he does as much harm to himself as he does good.

The Dream of Forgotten Zero by MenameRaket

(NOTE: This is written in a second-person point of view) They erased his name. They purged his past. But they forgot one thing - nothing stays forgotten forever. When Kazimierz Shunya is ripped from existence by a cosmic anomaly, he awakens in the Molten Dreamscape - a decaying world forged from dying gods, abandoned realities, and forgotten memories. Here, dreams shape the land, lost ambitions fuel monsters, and the very concept of death has been banished. Stripped of identity and power, he is hunted by Conceptual Fragments, God-like entities desperate to control the last remnants of a dying cosmos. But as he teeters on the brink of erasure, he discovers a forbidden truth: Zero still exists - and it lives within him. Now, armed with the unraveling power of Oblivion, he must decide whether to save a world built on lies, become a god among tyrants, or reduce everything to nothing. In a realm where belief bends reality and nothing is ever truly lost... the greatest threat is the one they tried hardest to forget.

Reincarnated from Hell by ayo131

Kael was never meant to return. Condemned to the endless torment of Hell, his story should have ended in fire and chains. But fate - or something darker - spat him back into a broken world, alive yet scarred, carrying the whispers of the damned inside his soul. Now Kael walks a wasteland scarred by war, hunted by shadows that remember his name. With every step, fragments of his past bleed through: memories of battles fought under Hell's banner, of a Legion that once obeyed his command, and of a destiny he cannot escape. But Kael is not alone. With Lira, a warrior sworn to fight the darkness, he must confront both the enemies rising from the abyss and the darkness rising within himself. For the chains of Hell are not broken - only shifted. And as the Legion stirs once more, Kael faces an impossible truth: To save this world, he may have to become the very monster he fears. Reincarnated from Hell is a gripping sci-fi fantasy epic of redemption, war, and power - a story where shadows whisper, worlds burn, and one man must decide if he is humanity's savior... or its doom...

Regrettable Remembering by RCottono

The Lycan's Bargain by anjay_writess

"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor. In a desperate bargain, she trades her freedom for her mother's life. But as she becomes the king's unwilling companion, Aira discovers a terrifying truth-Kael is cursed, unable to die, unable to feel the mate bond that should tie them together. As dark forces conspire against them and Kael spirals further into self-destruction, Aira must decide: escape and save herself, or risk everything for the beast who might never love her back. In a world where fate is both a gift and a curse, can she break the chains of destiny before it's too late? 1 in Kael on 24/4/2025 1 in Captive on 26/4/2025 2 in dreamlandbooks on 26/4/2025 1 in beautyandthebeast on 27/5/2025 1 in historicalromance on 30/5/2025 1 in werewolf on 05/10/2025

Dungeon Hunters by SuperGoodAdvice

Four kids, each with a broken past, leave their homes in search of wealth, fame, and fortune, which can be found when one captures a Dungeon, mysterious buildings that appeared all over the world. One searches for a father to enact revenge. One searches for a brother she never knew. One searches for a way to control the demon that has taken hold of his soul. And one simply searches for the answers to his past. Each with a different motive and each with a unique power, but all with one goal, to build a perfect city, where all people can live in peace. They will meet strange and unusual people, but then again, they themselves are strange and unusual. Will they fulfill their dream, or will they die trying?
