The Last Wordsmith by redmoon6704

Genre: Dystopian/Fantasy/Mystery/Philosophical Fiction Description: In a future where words are vanishing from existence, humanity faces an eerie silence. The phenomenon, known as Lexical Erosion, causes overused words to fade from memory and underused words to be forgotten forever. To control the chaos, governments enforce strict word quotas, rationing speech like a precious resource. Amidst this decaying world of silence, one woman defies the inevitable-Erya, the Last Wordsmith. Gifted (or cursed) with the ability to remember lost words, she becomes the last keeper of language, hiding in an underground library where forgotten words still linger. But every word she recalls comes at a cost: another disappears, never to return. When a desperate young man named Sol seeks her help to recover his sister's forgotten name, Erya is forced to make a choice-continue preserving words in secret or risk unraveling the very fabric of language itself. As she journeys through a world on the brink of total silence, she uncovers the true reason behind the disappearance of words... and the terrifying choice that awaits all of humanity. In a story that weaves mystery, philosophy, and the power of language, The Last Wordsmith is a haunting tale of memory, loss, and the desperate fight to hold onto the essence of human expression before it fades forever.

Every Hero Deserves a Blowjob [A Paranormal Romance] by aaronfhuston

What happens when gods and goddesses fall in love? What happens when the hero isn't you? Everything seemed to have hit rock-bottom for Karma. A college educated former Marine and now a convicted felon, it would be easy to say divorce was hard. With a daughter on the way from a spur of the moment relationship, he was ready to accept whatever dead-end path life was heading. Lucky-or unlucky-for him, the gods found a suitable purpose for someone of his...caliber. Seduced by a succubus and dragged through the thin veil that separates dimensions, he found himself face-to-face with a woman chasing an invisible butterfly. Unaware of his circumstances and on the verge of being granted magic, he decided to help Ehma. There's no way he could know of the spell affecting the hotel's resident ghost or the plot that brought them stumbling into each other in another world. Ehma wasn't looking to be saved. In life, and in death, she took matters into her own hands. With a lifetime of manipulation and betrayal behind her, she just wanted to move on. This is no harem and definitely not a place for heroics. The women are powerful, the magic deadly, and the relationships...complicated. Jaded and disillusioned, Karma begins a journey to prove whether he's the man he thinks he is and whether he deserves the chance at redemption only true love can bring.

✺ Dark Fantasy ✺ When you have an eternity of time, there is little room for surprises. But for Ahzrael, things are about to shake his everlasting life. In a universe filled with a multitude of planes, realms, and worlds, resides a group of powerful beings that examine it all. The Diuxals. They wait, century after century, for the evils that threaten worlds across galaxies, hungry for innocent life. Among Ahzrael's time in the stars, an unexpected opportunity falls in his lap. He finds himself in the presence of a weakened yet powerful rival. His people want her dead. She's an abomination. But he sees this as a once in an eternity chance, and keeps her alive. It's a chance for his people to finally rest, to quench the flames of war. A chance for him to redeem himself. Some opportunities, however, have unforeseen, unforgiving consequences. And this ancient enemy, turned ally, has many surprises. In Ahzrael's long life, the cords of the universe have never been this uncertain.

Frozen Memories by InsectoidIdiot

Imagine a world (or not, your decision) in which everyone is capable of magic. Now imagine this world is that of an ancient one, with enough mysteries to last forever. They hear stories of ancient people who brought their followers to live somewhere peaceful for a change, but were taken by the kingdom that resides there still. Artificially frozen, the stories are but legends. They were Tango, of flame, Gem, of Gust, Doc, of Soil, and Jevin, of Wave. Their whereabouts as of today are unknown, as they left their mark in languages long left behind. Only the most advanced scholars can dream of understanding them. Then, there are prophecies, their exact wording lost to time. The titles of which are 'Lost Prince,' 'Survivor,' 'Stormstopper,' 'Sky Warrior,' and 'Savior.' What this means, of course, is up to you. ~Hermitcraft, Empires, and others~

Archeia's Atheneum (The First Shift) by nullandvoid44

You're awake. You're different. You exist, suddenly, as two things. You, the one you know, with the body and name you're familiar with--and this new you, the one exists within you. This you is inhabiting a world within your own. This other consciousness that you see through has begun to sense its timeline, each word a moment. Like the you you're familiar with, this self seems to come into its life mid-story--though the way you experience this life/story differs vastly from what you're used to. As you grow you will eventually know how to articulate it, even recreate it. First, however, you must choose to embark on/in this small incarnation; you must read the first word. For those who will tread forth on this journey, we salute you. You have been dubbed Archeia, may your journey be ever abundant.
