After the Great Howllian War, the solar system is left disoriented. Pirates and mercenaries prey on the weak and the only protection consists of planet Tecton's Elite Guard.

Drajine Dracoligh, a warrior princess of Tecton and a member of one of the Elite Guard teams along with Contaro Abelen, Takeo Kurosawa, and Priddely Minami, scout the kingdoms of other planets who have agreements with Tecton for protection.

During their hunt for pirates, they must heed the warnings of a prophecy stating that only a dragon raised from humanity can defeat the sorcerer of the Great Dragon of the Sun whose purpose is to release the sun dragon and wreak havoc on the solar system. The sorcerer, or Sugan, only appears at the end of every millennia and there's one problem, a dragon has not been heard of for centuries. Many believe they don't even exist and the end of the millennia is nearly up.

Sinners Dawn I (BETA) by Grimoirelle
10 parts Ongoing Mature
Now is the godless era - the time when humans reigned without guidance from the divine. In this universe that you are about to witness... There were five races leading the planet. They are the Divinus, Zoans, Elvens, Humans, and Daemons. A thousand years ago, the gods, or the Divinus, were the most powerful beings to ever exist. They were scattered across the Earth, ruling one realm after another. With a myriad of mighty celestial life forms, the divine was bound to have foes. Those who were cast out by their fellow gods turned into Daemons. And they became the fiend in the eyes of the supreme beings. Vowing to destroy everything the Divinus created, Daemons waged a never-ending war against the gods. Caught between their fury, the Humans, Elvens, and Zoans... ...Along with many other races, were trampled in the middle ground. Leading to a stain in their faith and moralities. Then comes the twist from fate... For unknown reasons, the gods suddenly vanished. Along with some of their sworn enemies, the daemons. Those who remained on Earth were left with a void to fill. And ever since the godless age began, humanity raced to the top - in hopes of replacing the gods they once worshipped. Now, a thousand years later... The current era is at peace. In the Western continent, the strongest empire, Ulnzvet - looms over the world with an unknown darkness. And it lurks behind the shadows... Right before the dawn of sinners and their unholy sabbath.
NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of the Creeping Bam (BOOK 1:  The Job) by BrenGrigori
31 parts Complete Mature
TAO is a broken world held together with nothing but magic and the will of the gods who protect it and its people. Ten thousand years ago THE SUNDERING struck and Tao was almost torn apart by a terrible magical cataclysm which resulted in the planet almost being halted in its journey through the cosmos. It took all the power the gods of Tao could muster to restore its orbit and set it turning again, but in their efforts it was forever changed - its axis was drastically altered, and it now spins in such a way that one face of the world is forever turned from the sun it orbits, leaving half the planet in perpetual darkness. The various humanoid races that survived and now thrive within the habitable parts of THE DAY LANDS have come to live in perpetual fear of what lives beyond THE BORDERLANDS that separate them from whatever dwells within THE NIGHT LANDS, but for ten millennia it has kept its secrets. The land of RUNDAO languishes under the rule of their warlike Northern neighbours, the TEKTEHRAN EMPIRE, while a small, ragtag band of motley adventurers ply their mercenary trade fighting monsters and protecting the common man from the various dangers that haunt the night and prowl the hinterlands on the edges of civilization. THE CREEPING BAM have amassed a modest reputation in their years together, but they're still just a small-time party of sellswords, thieves, outcasts and mages. They're also exactly the kind of underdogs the people of Tao doesn't yet realise are needed to save the world from the encroaching darkness they doesn't even know is coming ... IMPORTANT: Please note this story includes content that may be considered mature, such as moderate battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes.

Dragonfire: Celestia by Iluna-_05
47 parts Complete Mature
In the world of Dragonfire, anything is possible. Flying, teleportation, invisibility, the ability to create a lightning storm on a whim...anything can be done. And anything can exist. Goblins, Orcs, Dragons, Dwarves, Kitsunes...there are countless races, and countless abilities. A world of fantasy in which anything is achievable. Or so it seems. After all, everything has a cost. And victory...victory is the most costing of all. Across the Black Sea, guarded by the Leviathan, there exists a large land separated into five territories. Celestia, Arvan, Ingres, Illicen, and Arumi. These five territories are named after those who control them. At least, that is how it used to be. From a distant land, the Snake Kingdom managed to bypass the Leviathan, and invade these five territories! Under the guidance of General Clauve, they crushed everyone in sight, until their only remaining opponent was Celestia. But they made a mistake, and Celestia capitalized. In a crushing defeat, the Snake Kingdom was bested after nearly 8 years of conflict. After the war ended, Albedo Aria, a soldier from Celestia, was promoted to the rank of General. But she didn't feel like a hero. Suffering from severe PTSD, this story follows her as she tries to overcome the nightmares of war, and move on from the terrible things she was forced to do. She was raised to be a soldier, and joined the war from the age of eleven. As a soldier of Celestia, she could never, and still cannot ever disobey any orders. When war calls, she must answer. Whether she is truly willing to or not. But after four years without conflict, surely things couldn't reach that state again? Or perhaps that isn't the case. After all, her dear cousin must deliver a letter to her. A letter telling her that the Snake Kingdom is on the rise in their very own land. A letter telling her that every sliver of happiness she has gained after the war ended will be lost. A letter telling her that she must return to war...
Crown of Dahlias by BananaBeeH13
20 parts Ongoing Mature
In a small village, half hidden along a mountainside, Kieren was slinking between shadows. Footsteps sure even with so little moonlight. The softest brush of bare skin against knobbled and far-reaching trees. Not even a whisper of sound from stepping on the coarse dirt beneath his feet. In this world, Drakes were the epitome of power amongst the species. Only making up 10% of the population, humans making up the other 90%. Drakes could be found in the highest positions of power in communities or in positions to protect others (such as guards, watchmen, knights, patrolman). No one questioned this, dragons taking care of their own. A private species with traditions and rules that only dragons were privy to. Making sure none over-reached so that there would always be peace and harmony amongst the dragon territories and between humans. A symbiosis that all worked hard to maintain. Humans were born with vibrant and colorful hair throughout the world. The more rare the color, the more blessings, respect, luck and riches came to them. Fiery red, leafy green, aqua blue. Eyes that matched their brightest feature. Dressing in the same colors or even brighter shades to demonstrate their extravagance, their standing in society. They normally worked side by side with the higher ranking dragons, helping to keep harmony. All Kieren knew was that he would have to remain cloaked, face obscured at all times. The villagers said he was a defect, so they made him their servant. His skin too pale. Form too slight. Eyes not right. An ugly thing where he should be thankful they did not kill him right away. To be grateful for their pity and staying their hand. The worst, they would tell him, was about the coloring of his features; his hair and eyes. It was a color that had never been seen before amongst humans or dragons. *Please read tags! Don't like, don't read, don't leave unhelpful nasty comments.
