Follow the life journey of Neo, a young woman who was destined to find an ancient mask with mysterious powers. Her story takes place in a medieval fantasy world called Magna, which features a rich history, countless nations, and a lurking greater evil.

This story is my little hobbyist passion project! All art and characters are drawn by me as well. You can find me on Deviantart, where I upload story-related drawings and designs. Chapters will be added whenever they are ready. I hope to finish the story one day, but be aware, it will be pretty long and I might end up splitting it up into multiple books. Also, treat the story as a first draft, so feedback is appreciated!

My biggest inspiration and what to expect: I could best describe the vibe as a mix of Lord of the Rings, Studio Ghibli, and various other Anime. I aim for a (mostly) realistic story with some fantasy and magical elements. Nothing too crazy or over the top. It will feature a strong duality of awe-inspiring nature and beauty on one hand, and tension, action, as well as elements of horror on the other. There will be some blood and horror, be warned!

Branded Rank F the lowest tier of power- he shoulders the burden of supporting his family amid poverty and societal scorn. But when he joins the Phoenix Brotherhood, an organization of adventurers tasked with protecting humanity, Satsu discovers his true strength lies not in mana, but in his unyielding resilience.

Together, they take on missions scorned by the powerful, defending the forgotten. However, when they investigate the Terror's Lair, an ancient portal that never closed, they unleash a primordial entity-and awaken something within Satsu: the Impetus System, an ancestral power poised to rewrite the world's rules. As Satsu struggles to master this new level-up system, unlocking abilities that defy his lowly rank, he faces a dire trade-off: the Impetus System consumes not just mana, but fragments of his humanity. Satsu to question who truly controls this magic-drenched world. In a universe where magic enforces hierarchy and the strong prey on the weak, Satsu must choose: ascend as a Precursor capable of reshaping reality... or be consumed by the same darkness threatening to tear the world apart. What to Expect: - Unique Evolution System: Discover how the Impetus System defies traditional ranks, offering unpredictable powers at a moral cost. - Epic Battles: From goblin hordes in forgotten villages to cosmic horrors that test sanity. - social inequality - Inner Struggles: How far would you go to protect those you love? The chaos began with a portal. It will end with a choice.

In the world teeming with magic and ancient prophecies, a prodigious girl is born with a destiny she cannot escape. Nyx has always known she was different. Born under the twin moons of Eclipsarum and blessed with unparalleled magical abilities, she is the chosen one destined to confront and defeat the malevolent demon king, Anos. From a young age, Nyx is trained rigorously in combat and sorcery, honing her skills for the day she will face her greatest challenge. The kingdom of Eclipsarum, a land of breathtaking beauty and hidden dangers, teeters on the brink of destruction. The shadow of Anos's reign spreads, leaving fear and chaos in its wake. His dark powers grow stronger, and with each passing day, the hope of the people wanes. They look to Nyx as their beacon of hope, their last line of defense against the encroaching darkness. Nyx's journey is fraught with peril. Alongside a diverse group of allies-a stoic knight, a cunning rogue, and a wise sorceress-she ventures through enchanted forests, over treacherous mountains, and into the heart of Anos's dark domain. Each step forward reveals more about her own powers and the true extent of the demon king's evil. As Nyx faces trials that test her strength and resolve, she learns that her destiny is not just to wield power but to understand its cost. Her battles against Anos's minions are not only physical but also moral, challenging her to question the very nature of good and evil. In moments of quiet reflection and intense conflict, she begins to see that her purpose might be more complex than simply defeating an enemy. In a climactic showdown, Nyc confronts Anos in his fortress of shadows. The battle is fierce, pushing her to the limits of her abilities

that one SWURD by xyltharion

Long ago, when the world was young and humanity struggled against the forces of chaos, the gods intervened. They forged a sword, not as a weapon of destruction, but as a gift of hope. Each god poured a fragment of their essence into it-courage, wisdom, resilience, and strength. It's a sword meant for everything possible. For centuries, the blade lay hidden, waiting for the right moment to be discovered. It wasn't buried in gold or locked away in a grand vault-it rested quietly in the heart of the earth, untouched and unseen, until the time was right. When the first hand grasped the hilt, the sword came alive. Its surface shimmered with an otherworldly glow, a promise of the power within. The one who found it didn't know the gods had shaped it, nor did they understand the weight of what they held. But the sword recognized them. It responded to their strength, their resolve, and their needs. As the blade cut through the darkness for the first time, it wasn't just its edge that brought change. It was the force behind it-the will to fight for survival, for something greater than fear. With every swing, the sword grew brighter, stronger, as if it fed not on blood but on purpose. Though the gods forged the blade, it wasn't theirs anymore. In that moment, it became part of humanity, a bond between the divine and mortal worlds. And for the one who wielded it, the sword was more than steel and magic-it was a companion, a guide, and a silent promise: you are not alone. Thus began the sword's journey, not just as a tool of battle, but as a symbol of what humanity could become. And though its path was just beginning, the gods knew it would go on, far beyond what even they could imagine. (this is my very first novel. I got my inspiration from a nail clipper)
Dragon Bound - The Saga of Flames and Frost by opheliasikes
11 parts Complete Mature
Illara had trained all her life for this moment. She had been chosen - from all eligible women throughout the three kingdoms - to be presented to the dragon. Her noble sacrifice would ensure the safety of her lands for a full year. She glowed with pride at the thought. And any moment now the massive dragon would come soaring over the mountains, his massive strength and awesome power - What was this? Along a rocky pass, moving with the persistence of a love-struck cow, was something metallic. Something shiny. Her heart thundered with panic as the object drew closer and resolved into a shape. For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.
