The Glimmerstone Enigma [Epic Fantasy][D&D Inspired] by Ravensaloft
28 parts Ongoing Mature
Occasionally, the outcome of epic conflict hinges on the efforts of unexpected heroes whose details are lost to time. This is one of those tales. After ruthless hook-headed demons slaughter the Luminarium's brothers and sisters without warning, early clues suggest the use of magic well beyond the capabilities of contemporary masters. Driven by grief and a thirst for vengeance, the two surviving monks join forces with a collection of poorly trained spies, treasure-hunting thieves, and an entitled ranger to settle the score. As they stumble into a puzzle of dark magic and conspiracy, the group is suddenly critical to the survival of freedom and civilization. Isolated and ill-equipped, can they unravel the Enigma in time to prevent a dark and dystopian future? What to Expect: Multiple Main Characters: A group of imperfect non-human adventurers with various skills and backgrounds join forces for a common desirable outcome. Collaborative Problem Solving: The struggle to become greater than the sum of their original parts and find a way to succeed as significant underdogs. Exploration and Discovery: A world with history, magic, and cryptids waiting to be discovered, understood, harnessed, and overcome. Natural Progression (without the stats): MCs develop personally and professionally within the story's context, honing themselves and their craft as they go. Dungeons and Dragons flavor: A homebrew world that broadly follows the ideas and constructs of the game. More adventure than politics: Worldbuilding is minor and situationally relevant. There will be no info dumps of national history or political rivalry, except where necessary to the plot. For me, the characters and the adventure are the story. Updates on Fridays, around 7 pm Eastern

I yelled but before I could breathe in I was pinned to the wall. I gasped. Staring into his dark blue eyes made every bone of my body weak. He smirked, knowing exactly what he did. "You got too comfortable with me, doll but I didn't show you what Ace can really do." He mumbled. He broke the eye contact we were having and leaned closer to my neck. My heart beat was racing his and each breath he took sent electricity all over my body. I bit my tongue, scared of what my brain could make me say. "And I don't think you want to know," he whispered so close to my ear sending shivers down my spine. I took a deep breath, trying to collect my thoughts. He moved back to stare into my eyes, wanting to see his effect on me but I didn't give it to him. I smirked, pushed my chin down and looked up at him. "You're all talk, Ace," I whispered, not even blinking. I saw the gulp that rose in his throat, growing my smirk.

"𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦." Avena Caruso and Theo Nott arrive at Hogwarts with secrets carved into their skin and a past drenched in blood. Best friends to the world, something far more dangerous behind closed doors-a love that borders on obsession, tangled in dark magic and whispered Italian promises. But when Mattheo Riddle takes an interest in Avena, everything unravels. The lies. The possessiveness. The control. Theo doesn't share, and Avena doesn't break-until she does. Because there are some stories that don't end in freedom. Some stories end in fire.
