There are worlds that live beside our own.
Not above in the stars, not buried beneath the earth, but folded against reality like pages pressed together. Most people never notice. They live their lives with eyes half-shut, content with what they're given, never reaching for what lies just beyond.
But some of us are born restless. Some of us hear echoes where others hear silence. Some of us feel the pull of something we can't name.
Kaelen was one of those people.
She thought her hunger for more was only daydreams. She thought the stories in her books were only fiction. She thought her life was destined to be small, invisible, ordinary.
She was wrong.
Because when the veil between worlds trembles, it does not choose kings or warriors to step through. It chooses the ones who ache for belonging. The ones who have nothing left to lose.
And Kaelen had been waiting her whole life.

Eldryn Academy and the Games of Destiny
#1 in witches and wizards 🌊"When shadows rise and kingdoms tremble, it takes more than magic to stand unbroken-it takes the courage to become who you were always meant to be."🌊 This is the third book of the Eldryn Academy series. Mira's world is unraveling, and this time, survival isn't enough. As she enters her third year at Eldryn Academy, Mira is no longer the uncertain girl who stumbled through magic she didn't understand. She's become a force to be reckoned with-powerful, feared, and marked by destiny itself. But power has made her a target, and the academy's hallowed halls now feel more like a battleground than a sanctuary. Games of Destiny has begun, and ancient forces long thought extinct are awakening with a hunger that threatens to consume everything Mira has fought to protect. But these forces don't just seek her magic, they're targeting everything she holds dear. The friendships she's built, the love she's found, the new world she's finally learned to call home-all of it hangs by a thread as darkness spreads from the Elemental Forests and reaches into the heart of the academy itself. The bonds she forged are under siege. Void magic seeps into the cracks of trust, turning friends against each other and twisting love into weaponized doubt. The power within her is growing-wild, untamed, and terrifyingly potent. But the void forces know that breaking her spirit matters more than breaking her magic. As enemies close in to tear apart her world piece by piece, she must answer the question that has haunted her since the beginning: Can she protect both true forces of Elemental power and her heart, or will she be forced to sacrifice one to save the other? ❤️💫 Return to a world where magic demands everything, love defies fate, and one girl must defend not just her power, but every precious bond that makes her whole.💫❤️

This story is dedicated to those who find strength in the face of overwhelming odds, to the quiet courage that burns brightest when all other lights have been extinguished. It is for the dreamers who believe in a better tomorrow, even when the present is cloaked in the deepest of shadows, and for the warriors, both seen and unseen, who stand as bastions against the encroaching darkness. To all who have ever felt the weight of an impossible burden, the sting of betrayal, or the gnawing fear of the unknown, this tale is a testament to your resilience. May Kaelen's journey ignite a spark of hope within you, reminding you that even the smallest flame can push back the vastest night. May you find the courage to rise, to fight for what you believe in, and to never surrender the light that resides within your own hearts. This book is a humble offering to the enduring spirit of heroism, a whisper of defiance against despair, and a roaring anthem for the unyielding will to protect what is precious and dear, even when the cost is beyond measure. To the unsung heroes who walk amongst us, often in the quietest of places, this is for you. Your battles, though perhaps not fought with sword and shield, are no less valiant, and your courage is the bedrock upon which all true strength is built. Remember, even a fallen kingdom can be reforged in the fires of determination and sacrifice, and the dawn will always break, however long the night may seem.

Against the System
[!] MUST READ [!] --- In a land where everyone is born with magic, one boy has none. Kaelen Verenth, fourteen. He keeps his head down and trusts the path laid out for him, until the day he steps beyond his door and finds a realm of blades, scholars, and whispering circles who all serve a pattern they can't name. Roads feel rehearsed. Encounters click into place. The world moves as if someone is turning a page he hasn't seen. There is a mind behind the curtain. Everywhere and nowhere. It bends truth in small ways at first, a shadow that moves after its owner, then in ways no one can ignore. He isn't meant to notice. He isn't meant to ask. Yet he does. When the Loom trembles and the rules begin to slip, the only child without a spark may be the only one who can pull the right thread. "Reality isn't real, cults worship glitches, people vanish either willingly or unwillingly. The System is not your ally." --- What to Expect: ▰ Skill, tech, magic. ▰ Morally complex protagonists. ▰ Slowburn Worldbuilding following character growth. ▰ Typical fantasy elements. --- Updates weekly. --- [!] Original work, do not distribute. [!] [!] Not AI Generated. [!] [!] Novice writer. [!] [!] Posted on AO3, Royal Road, too. [!] [!] Image taken from Pinterest, edited with Canva to add the title. [!]
Dragonfire: Celestia
In the world of Dragonfire, anything is possible. Flying, teleportation, invisibility, the ability to create a lightning storm on a whim...anything can be done. And anything can exist. Goblins, Orcs, Dragons, Dwarves, Kitsunes...there are countless races, and countless abilities. A world of fantasy in which anything is achievable. Or so it seems. After all, everything has a cost. And victory...victory is the most costing of all. Across the Black Sea, guarded by the Leviathan, there exists a large land separated into five territories. Celestia, Arvan, Ingres, Illicen, and Arumi. These five territories are named after those who control them. At least, that is how it used to be. From a distant land, the Snake Kingdom managed to bypass the Leviathan, and invade these five territories! Under the guidance of General Clauve, they crushed everyone in sight, until their only remaining opponent was Celestia. But they made a mistake, and Celestia capitalized. In a crushing defeat, the Snake Kingdom was bested after nearly 8 years of conflict. After the war ended, Albedo Aria, a soldier from Celestia, was promoted to the rank of General. But she didn't feel like a hero. Suffering from severe PTSD, this story follows her as she tries to overcome the nightmares of war, and move on from the terrible things she was forced to do. She was raised to be a soldier, and joined the war from the age of eleven. As a soldier of Celestia, she could never, and still cannot ever disobey any orders. When war calls, she must answer. Whether she is truly willing to or not. But after four years without conflict, surely things couldn't reach that state again? Or perhaps that isn't the case. After all, her dear cousin must deliver a letter to her. A letter telling her that the Snake Kingdom is on the rise in their very own land. A letter telling her that every sliver of happiness she has gained after the war ended will be lost. A letter telling her that she must return to war...Complete
