The outcome of many epic wars often hinges on the efforts of unexpected heroes whose details are lost to time and never appear in historical accounts. This is one of those tales. 
   
When ruthless demons attack without warning, slaughtering the brothers and sisters of the Luminarium, early clues suggest the use of magic well beyond the capabilities of contemporary masters. The two surviving monks join forces with some old friends and new allies to determine the perpetrator and their end game. What they discover is a potentially apocalyptic future.

 What to Expect:

Multiple Main Characters: A group of imperfect non-human adventurers with various skills and backgrounds join forces for a common desirable outcome.

Collaborative Problem Solving: The struggle to become greater than the sum of their original parts and find a way to succeed as significant underdogs.

Exploration and Discovery: A world with history, magic, and cryptids waiting to be discovered understood, harnessed, and overcome. 

Natural Progression (without the stats): MCs develop personally and professionally within the story's context, honing themselves and their craft as they go.

Dungeons and Dragons flavor: A homebrew world that broadly follows the ideas and constructs of the game.

More adventure than politics: Worldbuilding is minor and situationally relevant. There will be no info dumps of national history or political rivalry - except where necessary to the plot. For me, the characters and the adventure are the story.All Rights Reserved

First Light of a New Age by TIMEMASTER101

In a distant realm where magic thrives, ferocious beasts shake mountains and rivers with their mighty roars, and individuals wield superhuman strength capable of reshaping their surroundings. It is a magical world where the strong rules. But rampant corruption and chaos exist, where slavery, rape, murder, and discrimination against the weak were all but common. The magically superior people trample over the lesser unfortunate folks, using them as stepping stones and disposable assets. All hope for these downtrodden souls seems lost, but the wheels of fate have other plans for them. In a faraway ocean, one that is filled with demons and sea monsters, a great technological civilization suddenly appeared, one that came from a world that is only filled with chaos and destruction. This civilization became the heaven for people seeking a stable and peaceful life. The Earth rose and seas parted ways, and the environment had totally changed for its adaptability. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of this great technological civilization are all but manaless, arriving in a world where they are seen as inferior and as slaves. How will they react of finding themselves in a world where people can split mountains or bend the fabric of space, and where beings exist that even conventional weapons cannot defeat? How will they survive against deadly monsters, magical beasts, and superhumans that could threaten entire nations? And how will the other powers that exist in this world react to a powerful, advanced nation filled with a race they deem inferior? This is the story of one of the most powerful empires on Earth, and how it broke the balance of power and rose to the top.

Those That Watch Over Dreams by CynkNapp

Mystery? In a Royal Court? What price do you pay to protect someone? What cost to yourself do you pay to make sure tender dreams are not crushed? There are no dragons (not on this planet, everyone is glad about that). Dungeons are generally for social order. Plenty of Kings, Queens, Mages, Magic Creatures, Were-Beings, and sometimes when things are peaceful there might even be pajama parties. Roughly 26k words, with 300-900 word count chapters. #1 Dungeons and Dragons at times between 2018-06-12 to 2018-06-22 #10 Sword and Sorcery 2018-06-16 #309 Fantasy 2019-03-04 This story is rated [R], but there are no sexual scenes.

The Zero Hour | #Wattys2016 by xtoverus

The world as we know it is controlled by Nobles - powerful wizards that have power over everything. It is the age of ice; a time of ages past, lost in our historical records and unbeknownst to the world today. The commoners who don't wield magic live under their thrall as slaves, doing everything humanly possible to avoid earning their wrath. A single misstep could spell torture or death. One morning, a commoner accidentally takes matters into his own hands by standing up against a prominent Noble's son. The ensuing altercation enrages the boy's father Malevolent Drake, who delivers an ultimatum: A hundred commoners are to die in three days to restore his house's honor, or the elimination of the entire commoner camp. Faced with that reality, the leader of the camp hatches a plot to bring in outside help to combat the Noble army. With time running short, nobody really knows if the plan will even work - given the fact that the Nobles themselves have a few tricks up their sleeves as well. Tricks that could spell doom for everyone involved... * Highest ranked #63 in Adventure (Apr'16) & #708 in Fantasy (May'16). Updates every Tuesday & Friday :)

Halonar by Firepizza-X

Everyone has heard of the story. After the Knights betrayed the system, were executed for their crimes, and were forgotten to time, evil began to rise one more, even in the absence of the Divilamu. So the highest sorcerers and elites opened a permanent bridge to another world, known as the great Summoning, and brought with it, champions from an unknown dimension, blessed with incredible powers. They took the task of defending the land from the darkness, and creatures that tainted the light, and issued a new era of peace. More powerful than any other race, they quickly became the ruling class. Now they rule behind any government, hunting and destroying threats. With a wide range of abilities, they saw no resistance. They were called Aldaraians. Jack is a simple farmer, living in the comfy town of Rorin. Like 90% of the population, he is a normal human. He does not mind, as he had a loving wife and daughter. A daughter who dreams of joining the ranks of Aldaraians. Then Jack comes home and finds his family dead. He devolves into despair, and then, clear thought, and rage. People he trusted neglected their duty to protect. Jack makes a twisted journey of revenge, making a few acquaintances along the way, he will take them down, by whatever means necessary. He knows deep down he will not survive, but he just wants to give them a scar, so they never forget him. How would you feel? If you were nothing? If gods from another dimension roamed, and did whatever they pleased. The old gods are nowhere to be found? The only gods are the ones that you see everyday? And most importantly, where is the line drawn, between Good and evil? Join Jack on this dark take on the implications of isekai. Will he get his revenge, or will he die, and life will stay the same as he rots in his grave?
