41 parts Complete
In the snowbound lands of Gusu, King Lan Wangji is feared for his icy silence and merciless justice. For him, rules are sacred-and dark magic is an unforgivable crime. Far away in the forgotten village of Yiling, Wei Ying lives a simple life-cheerful, chaotic, loud, dramatic, and way too charming for anyone's good.and also hiding a tiny, forbidden magical secret (okay, maybe not so tiny). He protects his people . To his small clan, he's not only a king-but a savior. When Gusu declares war on Yiling, the silent king and the theatrical troublemaker are forced to face each other. Swords clash. Sparks fly. And somewhere between battles and bickering, a different kind of war begins-the one in their hearts. Expect: • Flirtations hidden under death threats • Accidental romantic confessions mid-fight • Melodramatic exits (and entries) by yours truly, Wei Ying • Wangji being emotionally constipated but somehow still hot • Forbidden magic, ancient secrets, and a love neither destiny nor war can deny Because destiny may have made them enemies-but fate? Fate has a wicked sense of humor. This is a BL (Boys' Love) fantasy filled with comedy, romance, mystery, overacting, and unapologetic flirtation. If you're ready for chaos, cuddles, and conflict-welcome aboard. The characters may resemble real people, but they are entirely fictionalized and do not reflect the real personalities or lives of any actors or individuals. Hate is not welcome here. Respect and kindness are always appreciated. Thank you for reading and supporting my very first story!

The Rise of The Crescent Heir  by Kelspinkis
56 parts Ongoing
In the mystical city of the Midnight Kingdom, where magic and shadows coexist, a young heir named Elara discovers her extraordinary lineage: she is the Crescent Heir, destined to wield the combined powers of light and shadow to protect the city's Heart, a magical source of balance and life. As ancient forces awaken, a cunning mastermind unleashes a Final Weapon, threatening the city and the people she loves. From humble beginnings, Elara struggles to master her powers, navigate complex friendships, and confront her growing feelings for Kael, her loyal companion and confidant. Alongside her trusted allies-Talric, a strategic warrior; Lysandra, a mystical winged guardian; and Seraphine, a powerful mage-she faces relentless trials, from shadow-augmented armies to ancient magical trials, all while the Chronicle, an ancient magical ledger, demands a sacrifice for maintaining balance. Each chapter builds tension with dangerous encounters, emotional dilemmas, and mystical revelations. Elara learns that light and shadow are not opposites but complementary, and only through mastering both can she protect her city and loved ones. Through strategic teamwork, trust, and courage, she leads her allies against the Final Weapon and the mastermind, culminating in a climactic confrontation where the Chronicle's price demands her ultimate sacrifice. In the final battle, Elara channels the full extent of her Crescent-shadow powers to destroy the Final Weapon, stabilize the Heart, and defeat the mastermind. The cost is immense, leaving her physically drained and transformed-but alive, her mastery complete. The story closes with hope tempered by vigilance: though the city is safe, faint magical anomalies on the horizon hint at future challenges, ensuring the legacy of the Crescent Heir continues.

Arianna Sapphire always thought her life was ordinary-quiet days, familiar faces, and dreams that never reached beyond the stars above her window. But everything changed on that night. A sacrifice was made-one that tore her from the only world she knew and thrust her into another. One decision, one unraveling truth, and her simple life was gone forever. Whispers of royalty and magic soon followed. Arianna discovers that she is no ordinary girl-she is the lost heir to the mystical realm of Enchancia, bearer of the legendary Diamond Sapphire. Within her flows the ancient power of air, a force once guarded by her ancestors, now awakened in her. But with that power comes great danger-especially when the kingdom's most feared enemies, the Dark King and his merciless son Cyrus, set their sights on her. They want her gem. Her magic. Her life. To protect her, Queen Celestia assigns her most trusted warrior: Captain Travis Collen, a strict, mysterious royal guard with a dark past and even darker blood. Known for his cold discipline and silence, Travis never expected to care-not for a mission, and certainly not for her. But as they face trials together-ambushes, betrayals, battles that scar both body and soul-walls begin to fall, and emotions begin to rise. Against all odds, love finds its way between sword fights and shattered skies. But can love survive when fate itself seems determined to pull them apart? Will Arianna learn to control the power that she was destined to? Can Travis protect her from the darkness? Step into a world of royalty, elemental magic, forbidden love, and war that tests the very limits of loyalty. Because in Enchancia, nothing is ever what it seems. And sometimes, love is the most dangerous magic of all.
