In a world fractured by ancient rivalries and bound by the oaths of warriors, the skies have turned against humanity.

When shards of glowing stone rain from the heavens, shrouded in neon light and radiating mysterious energy, kingdoms across the land are thrust into turmoil. The Iron Vanguard, an elite order of knights sworn to protect their realm, sends Sir Eryndor Steelward to investigate the destruction left in their wake. But what begins as a simple mission quickly spirals into a deadly mystery-one that pits faith, loyalty, and honour against the growing chaos.

As rival factions awaken to the shards' untold power, tensions rise, alliances fracture, and deadly forces emerge from the shadows. From the honour-bound knights of the Vanguard to the ruthless warriors of enemy factions, every corner of the world feels the pull of Neonite-and every faction believes the shards hold the key to their future.

Eryndor must uncover the truth behind the shards, even as his journey takes him to the edge of exhaustion, into the ruins of his allies, and face-to-face with enemies whose ambitions threaten the balance of the world. But in a realm where duty and power collide, who will control the secrets of the sky-and at what cost?

A tale of honour, betrayal, and the untapped potential of a falling world, this novel invites readers into a vividly imagined fantasy epic where every faction's perspective shapes the story, and every shard holds the promise of power-or ruin.

Gamleon's Tail    ~ Welcome to the worlds of :  Within ~ by Cicada3300
8 parts Ongoing Mature
I wrote this for EVERYONE. An introduction to my universe.Best for slow , attentive , close reading. Stick with it. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long ) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mystery and enjoy its intrigue.. The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world in inevitable finality. The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. What does it take to take everything? Every home, every name, every last trace of what once was. And who would do such a thing? And how? No one has ever seen anything that would make them believe in magic. Gamleon is the first to see and to survive. His mind near collapse under the strain, his heart broken. He runs. What would you do? What could anyone do? A world of mythological beasts and medieval men, where Gorgon hordes slither beneath the earth, clawing for metal, for power, for anything. But they come for your children. Opulent kings wage wars over things no one can even recall, blind to the coming obliteration. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out the cataclysm. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Our weary, world-worn adventurer is a paradox: terrifying perhaps, yet tender, grotesque but with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. With no choice but to navigate the unexpected Gorgon tunnels, his inner thoughts help us all learn how to persist and triumph in the face of impossible odds. Join him and be swept away as he reconciles never-before-seen innovations and insurmountable challenges. Dignity and hope. Self-respect and courage.
The Glimmerstone Enigma [Epic Fantasy][D&D Inspired] by Ravensaloft
28 parts Ongoing Mature
Occasionally, the outcome of epic conflict hinges on the efforts of unexpected heroes whose details are lost to time. This is one of those tales. After ruthless hook-headed demons slaughter the Luminarium's brothers and sisters without warning, early clues suggest the use of magic well beyond the capabilities of contemporary masters. Driven by grief and a thirst for vengeance, the two surviving monks join forces with a collection of poorly trained spies, treasure-hunting thieves, and an entitled ranger to settle the score. As they stumble into a puzzle of dark magic and conspiracy, the group is suddenly critical to the survival of freedom and civilization. Isolated and ill-equipped, can they unravel the Enigma in time to prevent a dark and dystopian 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. Updates on Fridays, around 7 pm Eastern

9 parts Ongoing

This Book is paused as my attention has shifted to a newer idea. In a world where magic runs wild and forgotten memories linger like whispers, Erynn, a scarred and broken soul, embarks on a journey to uncover his true identity. Haunted by strange dreams and visions of a past he cannot remember, Erynn is drawn into a dark and turbulent path. As he travels with unlikely allies, he uncovers secrets about a forbidden power-the Rift of Unmaking-that binds him to a destiny he cannot escape. But there is more to Erynn's story than he knows. With every step, the fractured fragments of his past begin to surface, revealing not only the warrior he once was but the terrifying creature he may have become. Torn between the man he wishes to be and the monster that waits within, Erynn must confront an ancient evil that threatens to tear apart the very fabric of his soul. As betrayal, war, and the relentless pull of magic swirl around him, Erynn faces a choice that will change everything. Will he accept the darkness within and embrace his true nature, or will he resist, fighting to retain his humanity in a world determined to consume him? A gripping tale of power, sacrifice, and self-doubt, "Beneath the Mask" is a dark fantasy journey through a fractured mind, where redemption and damnation are separated by the thinnest of threads.
