In a medieval world of Caelrevia where magic draws directly from the body, every spell consumes something vital; internal heat, bodily fluids, nutrients, vitamins; there is no mana, only life. Everyone is born with the ability to wield, but only the wealthy can afford to cast it.
At the top of the arcane order sit the Administrators, bearers of the Ophelion Protocol; gold rings that exempt them from magic's cost and grant them control over time, towns, and the laws of casting itself. Beneath them, a rigid hierarchy governs access to resources, spellcasting rights, and even bodily autonomy.
Magic is both power and punishment. The poor waste away trying to cast a single spell. The rich burn cities without breaking a sweat. Rebellion brews as the desperate Strains and broken Wicks seek to challenge a system built on consumption, but how do you fight gods when you starve every time you raise your hand?

The Ossuary Crown
In the dead heart of a continent abandoned by mercy, the Kingdom of Vyrmathrax festers like an open wound sealed in crown and ritual. Draped in perpetual ash and carved from divine bone, this cathedral‑fortress realm answers to a single creed: "Only That Which Bleeds Is True." Beneath a bruised sky etched with sacrificial lightning, the Ossuary Crown rises-its towers hewn from skulls and ribcages, each toll of its femur‑bells a requiem for souls long damned. At its scarred throne sits an unmasked monarch wreathed in stunned flames and sacred pain. Around her kneel bone‑clad Knights of the Weeping Oath, their swords relic crucifixes, their visors bleeding incense. The Clergy of the Godshroud preach salvation through agony: tongues cut and replaced with bells, rites stained with entrails and martyr's blood. Pilgrims crawl through the Valley of Thorns beneath statues of weeping saints, begging entry to a land where faith is wrought in suffering. From the Sanctified Ribways to the Eye‑Hollows, from the Marrow‑Vaults to the Throat Clefts, every breath, heartbeat, and shard of bone is a hymn to glorious pain. But as the Crimson Synod weaves judgment with flayed flesh and voicelatched prophets, a missing Ember‑Tongue's final prophecy stirs behind the veil of death. Welcome to Vyrmathrax. Here, in the cathedral of divine wounds, you are not alive until you've bled.Complete

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?Complete

Arifureta (Y.N, The Magic Creation Archer) (Original Character MC)
What if someone was summoned to another world... ...with the power to control every element-Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, and more? What if that person wasn't a cold and vengeful warrior, but a quiet, kind soul-someone who still longed for home, yet chose to help those in need with compassion and strength? Even if the world is against him....? Welcome to my third version of my first Arifureta fanfic. A compelling story of power, combined with a heart of gold. This is a story where a male Original Character (OC) replaces Hajime as the protagonist. While his goal is still to return to Earth, his journey is filled with wonder, friendship, and growing bonds-with a deep focus on treating his partners with love and warmth. Yes, that includes the original harem from the anime. Kaori, Shizuku, Shea, the others as well. Do expect a good plenty of games, songs and movie references in this story! (A lot actually...) ♥♦♣♠♥♦♣♠♥♦♣♠♥♦♣♠♥♦♣♠ Any images included in the story are for fun, character visualization, and lore-building-including depictions of the girls in his harem. You know, to make the chapters feel less wordy... In every one, I will always put at least twenty pictures to make it more interesting. (And yes, Wattpad only allows twenty pictures per chapter maximum unfortunately (눈‸눈) ) And before I forget, I also do not own the original anime or any other properties that are used in this story. It belongs to their respective owners and creators. I hope you like this story. Just like any other stories made, they are often not easy to make. And yeah, as always, this is just a story of fiction, guys. So let us have some good old fun with the story and how it goes, okay? (◠‿・)-☆ Thanks for reading my story!

In a world where magic determines status, the prestigious Arcane High School is the ultimate battleground for the gifted.

Sent on a hidden mission, Paul pretends to be weak, but behind his cold demeanor lies a mastermind plotting something far greater than anyone can imagine.

Ashes of Divinity
In this world, two realms breathe beneath the same sky - bound, opposed, and eternal. The Realm of Light flourishes with life and color: emerald forests stretching to the horizon, silver-tipped mountains crowned in clouds, and seas that glimmer like molten glass. Here, humans, elves, dwarves, and demi-humans carve their histories into cities of spires and song. Their markets hum with trade, their temples echo with prayer, and their banners flutter beneath the vigilant gaze of the Golden Circle - an order of knights clad in radiant white and gold. They call themselves arbiters of peace, keepers of balance. When kings falter and empires fall to greed, the Circle intervenes - not as saviors, but as judgment given flesh. Across the veil, the Realm of Darkness festers. A wasteland of shattered citadels and obsidian wastes, where rivers crawl like ink and the air itself hums with hunger. It is home to the Corroded, men and women stripped of soul and form, their bodies twisted by shadow. Here, Bloodfiends roam in packs, drawn to the scent of living flesh, and Hive Parasites whisper in unison - a single mind stretched across countless hosts. Light and Dark, divided yet inseparable. Two halves of a wound that refuses to close. And between them, a whisper endures - older than any king, sharper than any blade. A child shall be born of both realms, carrying the sun and shadow within. The Bringer of Balance. The Eclipse.Complete
Tea Time and Cookies: A (not so) Quiet Beginning
Life ended quietly. Rebirth? Not so much. I'd lived a perfectly normal nerd-life: a family, a career, too many hobbies, and a purse full of "just-in-case" items. Gardening, old crafting techniques, reading, manga, animé-especially the alternate-world kind. If I had one regret, it was not traveling as much as I'd wanted. But all things end eventually. I expected nothingness... or whatever reward awaited after a long, fulfilling life. Instead, I woke up to the very real problem of a massive creature trying to eat me. I'd been reborn into another world. I should have been thrilled, right? With very little to go on-aside from the fact that magic existed here-I decided the smartest approach was to keep a low profile and train like crazy. Survive first. Explore later. My new family seemed pleasantly surprised (and occasionally alarmed) by my dedication to both physical and magical training. And once I started attending school, I made fast friends... then accidentally convinced them to apprentice under my father. The more the merrier, I figured. But hiding my abilities is proving harder than expected, and the more I grow, the more certain people seem unsettled by my existence. Surviving to adulthood may be the real challenge. *This is a slow-burn, coming-of-age story with early magic training. It is not a romance-yet. **This series is marked Mature not for explicit content in this volume, but because later books will include heavier themes. I prefer to err on the side of caution. ***I am a Canadian author.
