Lothar, an undead Elven hero, Anxe, a sadistic bard, and Morlimet, a studious sorcerer, defend their way of life as minions to an "ethical necromancer." While working for the Silent Lord, Tolurus, they conduct experiments, intimidate the nobility, and try to have fun while doing it.

When Morlimet is assaulted by common folk while his master is absent, Lothar and Anxe begin a quest to seek vengeance and bring the wrath of the Silent Tower down on any conspirators. Morlimet returns to his studies, only to find an errant, independent soul within his master's magnum opus, the Soul Engine. 

A tragic tale of mystery and death is unfolding in a realm of superstition.

The Labyrinth of Crystals by 00fleur

"There's a secret I need you to discover." These were the exact words these eight poor souls were told when being sent into this hellscape in Hell. Working for these people, they had no choice but to say yes. Besides, how hard could this mission be? These souls were trained to fight beasts, use magic, and protect the peace in Hell from another full-blown War. A job to find a bit of info? Nothing! But when the castle of the Master of Crystal's interior failed to match the exterior, did they realize they were for one hell-of-a ride... Fighting for their lives, these eight souls from rivaling Houses must work together for the sake of their lives and their home...even if it is Hell. NOTE: Use of VERY strong language and inappropriate jokes and stuff like that!!! Viewer discretion is advised!

Another Stupid Spell by billricardi

Another Stupid Spell is a first person high fantasy novel, the likes of which hasn't been seen in 60 years. The tone and vocabulary of the story shifts as our narrator, Sorch the orc, finds ways to enhance his intelligence. You get to grow as Sorch grows, learn as he learns, and share his most intimate thoughts. Sorch is an orc mage in a world where orcs are cursed with stupidity every time they cast a spell. The only spell he can safely cast is Enhance Intelligence, which boosts his IQ for a fraction of a second before the curse drains it all away again. Normally casting such a spell would be pointless, but Sorch's tribe has found a way to benefit. Magic that is cast near a mysterious artefact called the 'Voodoo Engine' causes invisible hands to appear, and these hands get work done for his tribe. Sorch is a slave to the Voodoo Engine, casting a single spell over and over again to avoid being beaten by the chief's warrior caste. While foraging for food on one fateful night, our hero happens upon two human mages who are in big trouble. He saves their lives, and in return they give him an amulet that will make his life easier. Unbeknownst to the humans, their gift grants Sorch the power to break the cycle of intelligence drain and physical abuse. With the help of his friend and mentor, Shaman, Sorch becomes a real mage. Sorch leaves his swamp and embarks on a series of incredibly exciting and dangerous adventures. During his travels he encounters horrible injury, magical treasures, love, snow, university admissions tests, a plot against the Kingdom, and then of course he saves the world. Or does he? Be prepared to rethink everything you know about thinking. If your own intelligence was the fuel that your magic ran on, how brightly would you dare to burn?

Aura's Undoing (After Death Chronicles) by AWFrasier

Dark Urban Fantasy | Vampire | Romance | LGBTQ+ Aura hated her work. Hated her life and hated her entire existence. She thought she ended it all but then she wakes up to the Aztec Deity of Death sitting on her toilet, telling her she has been given a second chance. Aura is thrust into a new life where deities are real, those who used to be mortals have died and risen from the grave and she has apparently enemies dead set on taking her down. When she is drugged at a gathering, her deity Xipe Totec gets more and more secretive. There's something he isn't telling her and the other previously mortal people in their brood. And Aura is definitely not content with being kept in the dark. There's a path to enlightenment, but maybe it's not paved with morale.

Supernatural's by WALEXO_OXELAW

In an ancient world, there lived many creatures whom the inhabitants thought of as otherworldly Deities. Due to the vast amount of said creatures, many religions & cults sprung up across this world in worship of them, however no one religion was the same, which caused conflict to spread among the people. Overtime, they soon began to forget about these strange beings as their civilizations advanced, and their existence was turned to mere myth as these once revered creatures were forced into hiding to preserve themselves. That was until 7 descendants of these mystical creatures each embark on a journey to the Mythic World after learning of their magical bloodline, in a place just below the earth's surface, known as Center Earth, and meet up as if by fate to face the beautiful wonders and perilous dangers of the place they'd only ever heard of in myth & legend.

NO MORE TEARS (BxB) by Black-Wicked

For as long as I could remember vampires ruled other humans. I found it that way and I believed that was an injustice. Not like I could do much about it. Once I turned of age, I would be sold as a blood slave, a pet and my life would possibly end. I never liked these creatures to begin with. Adding salt to injury I was bought by a royal vampire, the prince. I cursed the day I was born. Maybe not all vampires were the same, but for humans that was just wishful thinking. (This book has mature mentions, violence, blood, sexual scenes and mature content. Proceed with caution.)

Eradicating ancient evils and natural disasters is Matthew's shout as he crushes fate! "Brothers and sisters, join Bay Territory!
