Before the Mortal Age, Demon giants and Elder Lords clashed in a war-torn realm. Among them were demi-god halflings, cursed with mortal blood, and spirits of the Elder Goddess Ena, who fought against Darthuum's corrupting forces. To protect the realm, Ena created Avala, a powerful descendant, but Darthuum countered with the Soul Keeper's Amulet, wielded by the giant, Groll.

Avala, in a desperate gamble, cracked the Amulet, freeing the spirit Otharok, who allied with her. Their secret bond prolonged the war, but as Avala sought peace, she turned to Ulrath, a half-human warrior. Together, they conceived Balmarg, a hybrid destined to protect the Mortal Realm.

Otharok, driven by jealousy, formed an army and tried to kill Avala but ultimately failed. As chaos ensued, Avala's forces drove the darkness back into the Void. In a final act, Otharok trapped Avala in a jade statue. 
Ena and Darthuum agreed to the Rite of Banishment, forbidding deities from entering the Mortal Realm in a civil agreement to end the chaos.

Ulrath's tears revived the land for his fallen love, and their offspring, Balmarg grew to protect these new mortals. With the war over, the realms of light and dark remained separate, and the Mortal Age began, safeguarded by Balmarg's dormant power and the unbroken Rite.

But in this new realm of Mortals we find not all had truly been banished and banishment may have only prevented the inevitable.

Falling to the young hunter Kri and his multi-clan companions to fight back the evil laying dormant.

In a distant realm where magic thrives, ferocious beasts shake mountains and rivers with their mighty roars, and individuals wield superhuman strength capable of reshaping their surroundings. It is a magical world where the strong rules. But rampant corruption and chaos exist, where slavery, rape, murder, and discrimination against the weak were all but common. The magically superior people trample over the lesser unfortunate folks, using them as stepping stones and disposable assets. All hope for these downtrodden souls seems lost, but the wheels of fate have other plans for them. In a faraway ocean, one that is filled with demons and sea monsters, a great technological civilization suddenly appeared, one that came from a world that is only filled with chaos and destruction. This civilization became the heaven for people seeking a stable and peaceful life. The Earth rose and seas parted ways, and the environment had totally changed for its adaptability. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of this great technological civilization are all but manaless, arriving in a world where they are seen as inferior and as slaves. How will they react of finding themselves in a world where people can split mountains or bend the fabric of space, and where beings exist that even conventional weapons cannot defeat? How will they survive against deadly monsters, magical beasts, and superhumans that could threaten entire nations? And how will the other powers that exist in this world react to a powerful, advanced nation filled with a race they deem inferior? This is the story of one of the most powerful empires on Earth, and how it broke the balance of power and rose to the top.

The Prequal to My Previous Story (WIP/On Hold) Welcome to the Big Apple. Welcome to the city that never sleeps: invaded by towering man-eating monsters and defended by a private army that makes Academi(formerly Blackwater) and The Wagner Group look like the Red Cross, along with its civilian populace being silenced and murdered by a secretive Government Death Squad that makes the British Army Gurkhas look more like The North Korean Army and Haunted by divine entities that'll make even the most boundless of Lovecraftian's horrors go completely insane. You've woken up in this hell hole without warning, without preparation, without a single clue. You've woken up by yourself with Omnipotent capabilities, along with obtaining an Elite Combat Prowess that surpasses even the most skilled of Human or Humanoid Combatants, and you've gained the inability to die and complete invulnerability, in other words, Immortality. And the chorus of voices, along with ancient prophecies whispering in your head, keeps saying that all of this is on you: that you and you alone might be able to turn the whole thing around and save not just humanity and the world but the vast and infinite existence itself if only you knew what the hell was going on. You'd like to help. Really, you would. But it's not just the Titans hunting you down for your flesh and blood. Even your own kind wants you dead as they've designated you as the so-called "Founding Titan," thinking that you were the one responsible for this mess, and your job might be a bit easier if you didn't have the sneaking suspicion they could be in some way right. . . .

The Myth - The Fading Eden by KatarzynaGawronska1
7 parts Ongoing Mature
According to one of myths in the Universe, the God of Chaos, Azahar, united with the mother of stars, Thilija. From the merging of darkness and light, their daughter Shelaya was born, who, as a demigoddess, was granted the unique gift of creation from the Source of Being-a neon river of magical essence. Shelaya created Eden. This secluded place in the Universe became their happy sanctuary until Thilija's death. Seeing her mother's light fade away in Azahar's arms, Shelaya, in despair, fled into Space-Time, haunted by the thought that her father was to blame for Thilija's death. Meanwhile, Eden began to wither, slowly turning into a barren wasteland, consuming every spark of energy in its path like a plague. Tired of running, Shelaya established the Crystal Kingdom, ruled by strict laws of order, obedience, and lack of empathy. People, granted access to the Source of Being, became ideal warriors and healers; men wielded magical flame and were immune to pain, while women received healing abilities. Each blessing from the Spirit of Milites enhanced their powers but also tightened the bonds on their souls. The Kingdom, surrounded by a high mountain chain, was completely sealed off from the outside world and the faithless. Inquisitors and Priestesses sent on crusades, burning the submission to Queen Shelaya into the hearts of the uninitiated. However, beneath the seemingly happy and prosperous Kingdom, a rebellion against her rule was brewing. The unfolding war between Darkness and Light, ruthless lawfulness, and the freedom of the heart inevitably drew in the main characters: Emir Cavalleys, an ambitious low-born Guardian; Seku Val'Larnez, a prince of a powerful Elven house; and Nicola Smith, a 28-year-old from rural Canada. Tasked with saving the Universe threatened by the spreading wasteland, they set out for the Crystal Kingdom.
