This is the story of one whose destiny was predetermined. This is the story of one who was the victim of circumstance. A victim of a past that was not his own. 

He learned early to keep his head down, his mouth shut, his eyes up, and his ears open. He learned when to bite his gold and when to not look a gift horse in the mouth. He learned to judge malice from goodness. But nothing could have prepared him for what fate deigned to gift him.

Another world; magic; plagues; blood and fire; royalty; and at every corner, lies.

Jesse will need more than just power. He will need more than just skills and abilities. He will need help... and contacts. But in this game, who is trustworthy? And who is not?

For one whose crime was to be born, to survive is to win.All Rights Reserved

Magicfolk had coexisted with humans once, back when magic had still existed. They lived in harmony, using their gifts to help the humans. But, the humans were greedy. They took and took and eventually the Magicfolk started losing their magic. The humans felt cheated and angry, and they attacked. Millions of Magicfolk died and their numbers dwindled. The elders decided to build a city, a city in the sky that humans couldn't access that they called Koreth. A safe haven for Magicfolk. At first, very few Magicfolk went to the city. They didn't go until they were forced by the humans during the Great Purge. During the Purge, millions of Magicfolk were killed and the rest were forced out of their homes. The adults were forced to flee, leaving behind their children. Felix was five years old when the Great Purge happened and his parents left to Koreth, leaving him and his siblings behind. He and his siblings weren't the only Magicfolk children to be left behind either. He was joined by the children of his parents' best friends, who were Felix's best friends. When they were old enough to survive the journey to Koreth, they created a crew of adventurers with one common mission. Find the Lost City of Koreth and find their parents. But it seems as if every force in the universe is trying to stop them. They'll stop at nothing to get home, and along the way, they learn that strength isn't the most important thing.

|| Mirage's Fate || Original || -Unedited by Levvi-Rin

Yucoria... A world blessed by the four gods with their imaculate knowledge to look over the humans. Bestowing and lending their powers to those who exceed their expectations as a mean to seek the truth. Their believes. But there are those who use this grand knowledge to wreck havoc. Seeking their so called truth with turning humans against their own kinds. Is this the real truth of the world? There is no definate answer. But a conclusion can be made. For those who seeks the truth, you have to bear the rot growing inside. You pay the price for what you seek. It won't stay that way forever though. A new faction will be born into the world. A faction sole purpose to stabalize and create a new truth that will concede this tyrany. How would it play out? Will they succeed? Or Will they be consume by the mirage that the world has created? Mirage... A beautiful word with a twisted mean. Let us venture to the story of what will happen when you play the game of the world to itself.

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2 by Xonereth

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.

**THE FIRST BOOK** Once upon a time... That is how all fairytales start. However, this is not a fairy tale. This is not a tale of a fancy princess nor of a handsome prince on a white horse. This is his story. The story of Hate... Our beautiful land has been devastated by a ruthless demon, and our people now live under the shadow of tyranny. There is no one who can defeat him, no one for him to fear. Except for her... But it wasn't always like this. There was a time when our people lived in wealth and prosperity. The peace that once existed in this land will never return, and those times are now nothing more than stories of the past. All that remains for us now is hope. Hope that the Chosen One will rise and deliver us from this evil. However, he is aware of her destiny. He seeks what was stolen from him... He wants her... Hate will never give up until she is gone. The day will come when she must choose how she wishes to live. Will she flee or become a hero? For she alone possesses the power to save us. She knows the story is true. If she does not survive, the beast will kill everyone. She must be brave. He will find her, especially there where she does not want to be found. One reckless decision could result in catastrophic consequences. The fate of the entire realm rests upon her shoulders. Unforeseen events, mythical creatures, magic, epic battles, tragic demises, fairy tale romance, and a perilous journey. Will he find her... or will she be able to save us before it is too late?

A Drop Of Haunted Blood [PREVIEW] [WATTYS WINNTER 2023] by auroraanorth

[PREVIEW ONLY] WATTYS WINNER 2023 | Sixteen-year-old Felix Carver carries the ghosts of magicians in his blood. He can communicate with them and use the magical abilities they wielded against monsters when they were alive. His newfound power would be pretty cool, if the ghosts in question weren't his family and the man who killed them. Death doesn't stop Felix's siblings from finding new ways to annoy him from beyond the grave, nor his parents from doing their best to protect him from the dangerous side of his new life. Felix learns that his family belonged to an organization of magicians called the Bright Guardians, while their killer was a part of the Guardian Uprising that tried to overthrow the organization eight years earlier. The Bright Guardians take Felix in, hoping they can train him to fight monsters and control the ghosts living inside of him. Felix barely understands the magical world his family kept secret from him, but he does make friends with other odd cases at the Bright Academy. Troublemaker Arisa Tamura is struggling to control her ability to animate objects while under the influence of cursed bracelets, while the smart but reserved Mason Briggs is a witch who was transformed into a demon as a last resort to save his life. Together, the three of them realize that Uprising spies are still hiding among the Guardians. They have no idea who they can trust, but they do know who they can't: a Guardian named Ernest Abernathy, who stole a powerful wand from Mason's parents before killing them. Felix, Mason, and Arisa must construct a plan to steal back the wand without any help. If their plan fails, Ernest will turn the Guardians against them and have them locked up, or executed. If they succeed, they'll have one more weapon in the fight against the Uprising's army. Either way, the approaching war is inevitable. Be warned this book contains death, violence, and an above average amount of spiders.

The Concession by Taiwolillyz

~He gave himself up to save her~ He made the wrong choice now he had to pay the price. √√√√√√√√ Careful little princess, careful little boy what you choose, for to consent, is to lose. The dragon's mouth is wide, filled with bones. It reeks of death and human flesh. With gold and diamond, he lures you in. He has beady pearls-flames for eyes, And like a sheep to the slaughter, you're served on a platter. He never gets enough; for like a lion, he goes about seeking whom to devour-his sole desire. So children, run, keep your concession, Or ye might be next. Ye have been warned. Remember this tale...the serpent never sleeps.
