Oblivion, A Timeless Void by Aster_Rae27

❅| "Even a vastness can no longer shelter you... or engulf your dream." ⊱⋅ ──────────── ⋅⊰ [UNDER EDITING/REDRAFTING - latest chapter: 8] To a world seemingly shrouded in a cloak of safety and eternal peace, death is an unimaginable concept. Yet for those whose rule of life was mere survival, perhaps that's a different situation. For those who stood in the face of adversity, for those who refused to give in to the castigation of their lives, life has no sweetness to it. Merely the bitter tang of a blood-chilling revenge. To avenge a loved one or perhaps even their own pain, the murderous intent behind their deceitful eyes is unmistakable. For to them, lamenting about the past is a life lost to the cruel hands of fate. What happens when a woman as brilliant as the morning sun provides a haven in one's dreams? What happens when she, despite the agonies life carried, says to abandon everything right here and now and leave? Alcestis did not need to be told twice. Seizing the chance to escape the horrible clutches of her grandparents, she sets out on a journey to find the Elementals - a band of heroes protecting the human realm from those that lied beyond, headed by her parents. She knew of the darkness that festered within her; she knew of the hatred that danced in her heart. More than anything, she knew the extents of how fragmented her soul was. What, perhaps, would unfold when she sets out on her journey, leaving behind the world she knew; leaving behind what hopefulness remained in her battered heart? None would heed her an answer, indeed. None save for the rage that tainted her being.

Eclipse of the Enchanted Realm by RaizelElumir

Elysia, a bright and ambitious young woman, is preparing to embark on her college journey when a tragic accident catapults her into an astonishing new reality. Reincarnated into a fantastical world she once read about, Elysia finds herself in the role of a notorious villainess within the tale. In this magical realm, where diverse species such as mermaids, fairies, elves, and dragons coexist, Elysia is born as the daughter of the formidable Arden Ducal Family, renowned for their power and influence. Determined to alter her destiny and escape the grim fate foretold for her character, Elysia conceals her exceptional magical abilities and begins to forge her own path. As she navigates this complex world, she uncovers a series of ancient artifacts linked to the four horsemen of the apocalypse. These artifacts, each tied to a powerful and perilous trial, hold the key to averting the looming disaster that threatens the realm. Amid her quest, Elysia builds a secret guild with a public front, dedicated to espionage, economic power, and magical innovation. As she gathers allies, each with their own hidden potential, and faces the challenges of the magical and political landscapes, she must outwit a shadowy antagonist whose aim is nothing short of world domination. This antagonist, along with their mysterious guild, poses a constant threat to Elysia's plans and to the safety of those she holds dear. With a world full of intrigue, hidden dangers, and complex alliances, Elysia's journey is one of growth, strategy, and unwavering resolve. As she battles through trials, uncovers secrets, and forges crucial bonds, her ultimate goal remains to secure a peaceful future for herself and her loved ones, and to reshape the destiny of the world she now calls home.

Mercy & Fire by daughteroftMH

Adrenaline pumped in my veins as I pressed myself against the large tree trunk, hoping the darkness would conceal me from my impending doom. My heart hammered against my ribs and cold sweat gathered at my palms and chest. His armor clanked and clinked, scraping against itself as he grew closer and closer... Then silence. "Come out little rabbit." The voice was deep and menacing, and I would've soiled myself right there if I were any younger. I couldn't see very well, but I could see what little moonlight that filtered through the trees reflected off a pale face. His gaze was like a hungry, crazed wolf hunting its prey. "Found you." *** Roselena is satisfied with helping her father run his printing business in her childhood village, but in the face of kingdom rising against kingdom, she finds herself thrown into a world of political tensions, magical beings, and the plot of a God. She struggles to define who she is, what she believes, and who she can trust. Worst of all, she seems to have been snared by a cruel King who can't seem to leave her alone. In a world going up in flames, Roselena can only hope to find mercy amongst the burning fire. Warning: Themes of SA, religion, human sacrifice, gore, and some explicit language.

A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira

[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.

The Missing Dragon by Mystic_Dragon_Lily

Prequel to the unfinished story, A Dragon's Adventure, this is how humans and wings coexist peacefully and how Lylian came to be. As a young dragonet living during the time of war, Lylian was raised differently partly from the fact that she is the princess of all dragons, but also because she is the prophecy dragonet. Instead of being taught only the basic hunting, flying, and surviving as an adult, she was also taught how to use magic, command other dragons, and how to negotiate. Because of this, Lylian tend to go missing and get herself in unpredictable situations. Luckily, each time this happens, she has friends to help her out. But each time she goes missing, she discovers a clue to her family's past, more sinister than the last.

But if she doesn't figure it out soon, everyone will be doomed. Will she be able to put the clues together to unlock her family's past? Or will she doom everyone including the friends she holds dear to her? *Slight spoiler to A Dragon's Adventure, Maybe?* I drew the cover myself, I hope it isn't too bad. Completed

The Legacy of Kharis by bokkidaiyo

In a realm where shadows flickered like candle flames and magic hung heavy in the air, an ancient prophecy stirred. Arin, the daughter of a grand duke demon, felt the stirrings of her fate clawing at her soul. Behind the gilded walls of her father's palace, where darkness reigned and fear festered, she had learned the weight of her lineage-and the cost of her father's tyranny. With a heart steeled by the promise of power, Arin fled into the unknown, leaving behind the chains of her past. The world beyond was a tapestry of secrets and danger, woven with the threads of forgotten relics that held the key to her salvation. Yet she was not the only seeker of strength. A shadowy figure appeared in her path, a young man with secrets lurking beneath the surface and a gaze that flickered with both mischief and depth. Together, they plunged into enchanted forests and traversed treacherous mountains, the air crackling with tension and unspoken desires. As they journeyed, whispers of ancient magic surrounded them, and the air shimmered with hidden truths. Each step drew them closer not just to the power they sought, but to an undeniable connection that threatened to unravel the very fabric of their purpose. But in a world ruled by ambition and betrayal, trust was a dangerous game. What if the darkness they sought to vanquish was closer than they imagined? And as they reached for the relics that promised to change their fates, would they find strength in each other-or would their quest expose a truth that could tear them apart forever?

The Lost Life of Laraine by BearGoRawr

She lead a rather tragic life. The black sheep of her family due to her lack of affinity for fire. Her affinity was quite the opposite. Water in fact. Already in a time when women did not really have much political power or rights, she was outcasted by her family despite being of nobility. Still allowed to live in the distant west wing of the massive Grand Duke's manor, she has never eaten a single meal with her family nor extended family, and has spent her loneliness in her books and sword lessons. Although only taught by the head butler and one of the low ranked knights of the family, she was quite bright and if her family would have given her a chance she would have done great things. If only she didn't die at such a young age. Married off to some "hero" of sort that had slayed the Dragon of the North who was terrorizing the land and threatened the kingdom, this hero also had an affinity for fire and held her in disdain like the rest of her family. Suddenly a girl of another world was transported to their world, picked up by this hero and put into his secure care. The pair soon fell for each other despite the hero's marriage, and many believed Laraine got jealous of this girl of mystery, and tried to kill her. This was definitely not true. But because the girl was favored by the temple and kingdom Laraine was quickly arrested and put on trial. You can probably tell what happened to Laraine. But something strange happened the day of her execution. As soon as her decapitated head hit the ground the sky turned blood red and it began to rain fire. No one survived that day. But for some reason time went back, and Laraine was back to being a child, but with no memory of her future. There were select few in her life, however, that remembered her tragedy and now perhaps will take action to prevent it. NOTE: I'M AWARE THERE ARE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES. IT WILL BE EDITED SOME DAY BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH IT.

Finding the Fallen by tmmartin74

Kala had always thought of herself as normal, but when the world ended, cleansed by a power most would fail to understand, she realized she was far from normal. That day, Kala awoke in a fog surrounded by a nothingness that permeated every pore of her body. The only sounds she could hear were her own ragged breaths in the vast and empty darkness. When the light finally returned, she found herself utterly alone and suddenly part of a struggle much bigger than she'd ever thought possible. With that struggle came something else...power. Power to control the elements. Power the likes of which she had only seen in movies or read about in books. Despite her disbelief, it remained...right there in the palms of her hands. Eventually Kala learned to use her power as it was intended. As she wandered the new world, she met others like herself, other Servants with similar abilities who understood the reason for the destruction...for the loss. And then, six years after her world turned upside down, she met him. A handsome stranger in a tiny town in the middle of the West Virginia woods - not a Servant - not like her. And certainly not the type of man Kala had expected to find herself falling for. But the man she met there turned out to be more than just a hero in her time of need. At her side, he would become a protector, leader, confidant, and so much more. Together, they would find themselves fighting a growing evil...a man like Kala, who had been granted power beyond words or description. He might have been a good man once, but his fall was nearly complete. And now he desired only to rule - not to heal. This man would lead a small army against them, but they wouldn't have to fight alone. There was another, more powerful force on their side...one that could change the course of the war to come.
