blood dagger dark death elf elves fantasy gory grimdark highfantasy knife multiverse notafanfic notfanfiction swordfighting

Raven has spent his entire life in the Thieves' Guild. But when he steals a strange dagger and refuses to give it back, he gets caught up in the conflict of an underground cult from his past, a war between two nations, a girl who despises the Guild, and a strange man who seems to come from another world entirely. His journey is filled with blood, darkness, and a strange power that he fears like Death themself.

A while back, I wrote this as my first foray into writing high fantasy (and writing books in general), but abandoned it due to it (and the characters) getting a little too dark, a little too gory, and a little too unlikeable. Now I am on to better things, but I thought I might upload the book here fore some feedback. Tell me what you think! I can't wait to hear the feedback from this cesspool of a website.

Thanks to my homie @Vegankraken for being there since the beginning and reading my manuscript before I put it here.All Rights Reserved

Blood and Ashes by urlove_mar

In a world where darkness reigns and monsters rule, humanity's survival depends on those with power. A decade ago, the Earth fell to horrific creatures-beasts that tore apart cities and destroyed what remained of civilization. In the aftermath, society fractured into four groups, each shaped by its beliefs and the supernatural abilities that arose in response to the terror. Angels heal the wounded but at the cost of their vitality. Demons wage war on the monsters, fueled by their thirst for human blood. Rare and feared devils wield blood magic that allows them to control the essence of life itself, but they must feast on monster blood to regain their strength. And then there are the God-powered-a mysterious few who possess elemental abilities that could hold the key to ending the chaos but are believed to be little more than a myth. Emery, a quiet college student, lives in the shadows of this broken world. Though she possesses the powers of a Devil, she keeps her identity hidden, unwilling to draw attention. Her days are spent in isolation, away from the chaos, with only her books and a few trusted friends to keep her company. But when whispers of a possible God-powered emerge, Emery is thrust into a deadly race. If she can find them, the union of the Devil and God could be the world's only chance at survival. But trust is scarce, and betrayal lurks in every corner. Demons are unpredictable, Angels are slowly losing their strength, and the Devils grow increasingly detached from humanity, fueled by the monster blood they consume. As the hunt for the last hope intensifies, Emery must navigate a world of shifting allegiances, hidden agendas, and monsters that are not always what they seem. In this dystopian future, where fear and power rule, Emery will have to decide if saving the world is worth the cost of her humanity.

PROLOGUE - In a world of heroes and villains, Y/N, a young and resilient survivor, battles the harsh reality of life on the streets. Haunted by both physical and emotional scars, Y/N's existence is a constant struggle for survival. Fate takes a twisted turn when Y/N is lured into the clutches of Overhaul, a manipulative figure offering a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. However, what begins as a promise of safety quickly transforms into a nightmare of experimentation and torture. However, amidst the shadows, Y/N's path intertwines with that of Eri, a fragile soul marred by a lifetime of anguish and pain. An unspoken connection binds them, as Y/N becomes the unwavering guardian of Eri, protecting her from the world's cruelty as best he can.

Within its depths lies a boy, trapped in a dormant slumber, unaware of the impending battle that will shatter the very foundations of heroism. As the battle intensifies, the cracks on the chamber's surface widens, threatening to release the boy into a world engulfed in turmoil and conflict. Who is this figure? What role will they play in the unfolding chaos?

NOTE: I DECIEDED TO COMBINE BOTH THE PROLOGUE AND THIS BOOK. ------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTE: I am very unhappy with how this has been turning out, so I have chosen to scrap this story. I'll still keep it up, and one day I'll probs come back to it with better writing, as I have a lot of ideas for where this could go, but as of now, this story is discontinued.

Taken Captive by RTEUYTAT

I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood? "Yes, sir." - - - - - After being continuously hurt, left alone, heart broken and losing the one thing that kept her going, Nia Seymour turns to a new job that will show her how to let loose, live her life and make her happy again. The last thing she expected was to be Taken Captive by someone who would turn her life into chaos, make her addicted to the pain and hold her heart in his hands, breaking it and putting it back together over and over again until she's had enough. • • • The second he lays his eyes on her, Callum Rivera's world is turned upside down and he's made his mind up. She's his. He feeds off of the tears she cries, loves the pain all over her face when he hurts her over and over again, whether it's purposefully or not. As time passes and feelings evolve, soon enough the tears falling out of her eyes no longer give him pleasure, only pain and all he wants is for her to be happy, as long as she's with him. • • • The universe is sending challenge after challenge to these two individuals who want nothing but each other. Will they get past these secrets, lies, toxicity and pain? Or will one of them give up? - - - - -

Resurrection by cristamchugh

***This is a PREQUEL SHORT STORY that is FREE on iBooks, Amazon, B&N, Kobo, Google Play, and Instafreebie*** For nearly fifteen years, the people of Elgeus have believed the Raven Bringer was dead, the chaos and destruction of his reign a distant memory. They were wrong. Now he's returned, intent on finishing what he started, beginning with the assassination of the young king. And this time, he's not alone. It's up to a disgraced knight and a semi-reformed thief to save the king, but in doing so, they risk exposing themselves to the executioner's ax. And even if they succeed, will it be enough to pardon them from their pasts?

The Darkness of Beasts and Men by DarkLightningThunder

This is a short story about a young man and an incident he (somewhat) overcomes. This is a werewolf story, yes, but not a cliche-d one I hope, as it includes much more unhappiness and gore and such. There is no swearing, no nasty in-bed stuff, but there is gore. I mean, animal-mauling-blood-everywhere gore. Sorry, but in a werewolf reality, it would be rather dark and disturbing. If you do not like those things, please do not read for your own sake. Other than that, mild humor included. No idea if I'm going to write another story with the same sort of people or not, so I will get back to you later about that. Anyways, have fun and good luck. All characters' names and characteristics and fiction, I did not take them directly off somebody, so in cases of coincidence where you or someone you know looks like a character, my apologies, but I swear I didn't look up people and write their description. Just saying.

Forgotten by crystalbooks24

//He had my hands pinned tightly above my head as I squirmed beneath him. The blade twisting between his fingers. He held it up to my throat. I was afraid but refused to show it. "Hurt me." I said between gritted teeth. He just gave me a sorrowful glance before driving the dagger into my flesh.// This is no story of love and happiness. This is a story of death and destruction. One of a man and woman who met one night and not only changed the lives of themselves, but the lives of a whole world of people. One was fire and one was water. They were perfectly balanced. Until one night when the sun fell just below the tip of the tallest castle, the balance faltered, and all hell broke loose. Fire on fire. This is no memorable story that was told on for generations after. No. This is a story of the forgotten. ------------------------------------------- The prince and princess are forced to marry out of their fathers hatred for one another.
