In a world torn by war and ruled by ruthless empire, Calen is just another nameless soul in a forgotten village-no wealth, no influence, and no one to rely on. Surviving day by day, he knows his fate is as insignificant as the dust beneath his feet. That is, until a mysterious stranger enters the village, triggering a chain of events that awakens something deep within Calen.
With no training and no purpose, Calen's life takes a dramatic turn when he discovers a latent talent for magic and combat, a power that seems to have always been a part of him. As whispers of his abilities spread, others seeking refuge from the chaos of war are drawn to him: a band of skilled warriors, a healer with a dark past, and a young mage with untested magic. Together, they forge a fragile alliance, each of them scarred by the brutality of the world around them.
As Calen slowly grows in strength and wisdom, he must learn to lead a ragtag group of survivors and defend against the encroaching forces of an empire bent on domination. But the true battle lies not just in the war against outside enemies, but in overcoming the darkness within, as Calen struggles to understand the power he now wields-and whether it will corrupt or save him.
The Village Ascends is a tale of survival, redemption, and the rise of an unlikely hero. In a world where trust is a rare commodity, can one broken man gather the strength to lead, and spark a rebellion that will change everything?

Shadow of the Returned
When the endless Nightmare finally collapsed, Ashen believed he had won. He had slain the last of the dream gods, torn himself free of a realm that fed on fear, and wished only for one thing: to go home. But the world he returns to is nothing like the one he left behind. Centuries have passed, the cities have fallen into ruin, and the land itself is being consumed by a spreading mist that carries living shadows. Humanity survives behind broken walls, haunted by the creatures that once belonged only to dreams. They speak in whispers about the Returned, warriors who came back from the Nightmare changed, powerful, and cursed. Ashen is one of them. To the people he is a weapon, to the Dominion he is a threat, and to the growing darkness that infects the waking world he is something even worse - a seed. With Mira, a healer who still believes in light even when surrounded by ruin, Ashen begins to face what he has become: a man caught between saving what remains of humanity and destroying it. As the line between dream and reality fades, he must decide whether he will fight the darkness within him or finally surrender to it.![Dandelion's Latibule [TCF/LCF Fanfiction]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/294815578-256-k788477.jpg)

World Saga: A Vessel Unbound
What if the myths were never wrong - just waiting? The world changed the day the towers appeared- impossible monument of stone, sand, and something older than any history. They rose overnight, each pulsing with a power stranger than any other. The fallout was immediate. Governments scrambled. Religions fractured. And myth began to blur with history-until neither could be trusted. Inside each tower, something ancient waited, offering power to those brave-or desperate-enough to listen. Shin was just a student when the towers came. A nobody with nothing to lose. But he walked into the storm and emerged as something else. Now, he hunts what others fear to approach-chasing the truth behind the towers and the divine beings within them. But the higher he climbs, the more the truth begins to twist. The towers aren't doors. They're warnings. And what lies beyond them... is no longer waiting to be found. What to expect: - A competent, strategic MC - Multiple worlds - Unique power system blending cultivation and magic - Rich lore and layered mysteries inspired by Tower of God, Percy Jackson, and Lorien Legacies
Useless Struggle!
What if I would tell you that Cale was a very weak person and was doing his best to proof himself that there was a reason to go on? Well it was true, Cale was not in his right mind and sooner or later he would break. Unable to live any further and with his bubble of imagination broken, he couldn't stand the reality anymore. All he wanted was something he could never possess or maybe he was just to blind to see it. Who knows! But Cale for sure had some pent up nightmares which were coming to get him!

The Lord of Chaos is Born
He was born at the bottom of society, with no name and no status... yet he rose through blood and sweat to become one of the Twelve Pillars, the true leader among them, the hero's closest ally, and the first shield against the Demon King. But in the final war... everyone fell. The heroes, the chosen, even those said to be the pinnacle of humanity. Only he stood until the end, burning his life away, wielding forbidden arts, and severing the Demon King's head at the cost of his own life. And in his last breaths... he felt no regret. Instead, he finally understood the truth: Everything had been a play written by the hand of fate, and all the "heroes" were nothing but puppets hiding ugliness beneath a mask of hope. When he opened his eyes again... he found himself back on the day he entered the academy! But this time... he was no longer a weak boy. In this life, he would not follow fate. He would not be the shadow of the so-called hero. This time... he would write his own story, even if it meant breaking laws, crushing heroes, and tearing apart the very threads of destiny! ____ Author:Sir

a Lout and a Prince
in a world where there are no hunters and no white star, there's a lot more time for petty politics and relationship drama og cale x alberu PLEASE NOTE: this story is about ORIGINAL Cale Henituse, NOT Kim Roksoo. THEY ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Please, please, please do not leave me comments conflating the two. For reference in case you are not aware: Original Cale Henituse is the person who had the body BEFORE Kim Roksoo transmigrated. He's the one who earned himself a reputation as a lout/trash. ORIGINAL Cale Henituse lived until forty years old, died as a soldier, age-regressed and switched places with Kim Roksoo. He has a different personality, priorities, and motivations than Kim Roksoo. This takes place in an alternate universe where there is no White Star so Cale Barrow would have never stolen Kim Roksoo's body THEREFORE Kim Roksoo EXISTS as a DIFFERENT PERSON in the ws body. So far as is canonically established: og Cale is never a commander, never becomes sworn brothers with Alberu, never adopts any of the children that Kim Roksoo adopted. He's not Eruhaben's unlucky bastard and if he were to meet the elderly dragon, he'd have a different impression of him because they are different people.Complete

"The eldest spoiled son of the Henituse family? He had gone hiding from the public eye since a long time ago. Why?" 'Because he is the main key to stopping the war from happening!' Kim rok soo who transmigrated into the academy fantasy novel he read before falling asleep. "I don't like that teacher, Rok soo-nim." Choi Han who reincarnated in another world as an orphan. "I'm getting balder by the day." Alberu who was losing hair due to stress. "Uncle i need help." "My nephew asking help from me. Is the world ending?" "Uncle Barrow." "What is it that you desire my candy apple." "Who the fuck is white star?" And a smitten Uncle who is terrified of his nephew.
