The Empty World is a 200K word darkly whimsical Fantasy novel, in the supernatural-protagonist tradition of The Sandman or The Vampire Chronicles, about a young daimon who watches over a muse after 'saving' her with a bottle of vampire blood and how they deal with the vampire who bottled that blood and its corrupting influence on the muse. Their story is a love-letter to Gothic subculture which explores issues of identity, agency, and accountability.

VAESEN - The Ruins of the World ⱽᵒˡᵘᵐᵉ¹ by BellOfSilence

** Could an undying love blossom in the ruins of a shattered world? ** And so the world of men was lost and a new one, our world, was born. - Morrígan Goddess of the Battle of the Túatha Dé Danann - 4th cycle anno Bellum. The Second World War, which drove humanity to the abyss, has not only left death and destruction in its wake but has also opened the door to another reality. When the situation threatens to tip over, German cultists resort to desperate measures: They use a magical artifact that changes the fate of all humanity. It ripped the veil to Thule apart and revealed the realm of myths and legends. Beings that once only existed in the tales of the ancients now rule the world. In the ruins of the old times and an emerging new society with mighty rulers, the so-called Vaesen, the few survivors fight desperately for their existence while the remaining Cultists of the Thule Society work secretly to seal the world's fate once more. But amid chaos and despair, hope also arises. A Shapeshifter driven by revenge and an Bloodhunter of the Strigoi who harbors secrets of her own becomes caught up in the intrigue. Together, they embark on a hunt that could decide whether the world remains the same or undergoes another bloody transformation. In a storm of attraction, prejudice, and magic, Zane and Myreille must not only sort out their feelings and overcome the hostile Vaesen's entanglements but also fight against the impending doom that threatens to devour the last lives. **** NOVELLA Translation of our german ONC contribution 2024 German ONC24 WINNER Alternate History, Dark-Fantasy, Romance, Noir, Mystery-Mash-up :D 🥇Milestone Awards - Fantasy 🥇Sunflower Awards - Fantasy 🥇The Prose Gem Award - Fantasy 🥇ELPIDA Awards - Fantasy 🥇 The Sapphirian J Awards - Fantasy 🥈 Cloud Awards - General Fiction

the Zone of Silence by UniqueZebra03

A question came to me during a reset. A question that has started bleeding through my veins. A question I whisper over and over in my sleep. A question you think I am asking passively. But it stitches into me, coiling around my being. A question I keep asking because it doesn't make sense. All that is left of the world is a city. She is the only person left. She doesn't know what happened, where the people went, why there is no life. You are there. But who are you? What is she? What is she supposed to do when the world resets, and more and more of the city is demolished. She's running out of time. *Completed*

The Codex Morvalis: A Scholar's Testament by GF_Bissett

The Codex Morvalis: A Scholar's Testament The complete guide to a world where cosmic forces shape destiny. Magister Thaddeus Vallen breaks academic protocol to compile the most comprehensive guide to Morvalis ever attempted. After seven decades of cross-disciplinary research, this brilliant scholar risks censure to share knowledge the specialized academies have kept locked away in separate towers. From the cosmic forces that emerged from Primordial Chaos to the political intrigue of the Sovereign Pentarchy, from ancient bloodlines whose decline threatens reality itself to the shadow entities born from human trauma-this is the world in its entirety. Magic systems with deadly consequences. Cities where pattern-mages and storm-workers shape civilization. Families torn apart by ambition and cosmic forces beyond their control. But this isn't just worldbuilding for its own sake. Somewhere on a distant battlefield, a young man named Callan Tanner carries magical potential that could reshape everything-if he survives to claim it. The bloodline anchors are failing, shadow manifestations multiply in the darkness, and the delicate balance between creation and chaos grows ever more precarious. Twenty-two entries. One scholar's race against time to preserve knowledge before it's lost forever. A fantasy world where what we feel literally shapes what becomes real. Enter the Codex. Discover what lies beyond imagination.

Reborn as Vampire of the Blue Moon [OC x Vanitas] by Yonaka_Yuki

To think of being a modern witch and living in a modern world where magic is part of everyday life would be enough? Nope, apparently not for me. Because of some higher power I end up in a completely different world, where vampires are not just stories but real. And that was not enough. Additionally I became a vampire myself. But to my luck I meet a nice young man, which helps me. And we both meet an even weirder companion, who claims he can save the vampires. Cover: Found on ZeroChan Start: 16.11.2024 End: 27.12.2024
