"I will endure to be burned, to be bound, to be beaten, and to be killed by the sword."
This vow marked the beginning of every novice's path to becoming a proper gladiator. Many echoed this same oath, varying with each fighters' reason for picking up a sword, spear, halberd, bow- they each carried the will to endure.

A series of.. scenes? One-shots? Set in a school for gladiators. (Some will connect with other chapters, and some will be miscellaneous scenes/scenarios I just wanted to digitalize).
I decided a full multichapter fic wouldn't be the best thing for me to devote myself to so here: "series" of scenes? Maybe I'll try and make it an actual cohesive story. Here I am, a beginner who wants to find their "niche" when it comes to writing.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to art (yes, I draw), so I'll have to work around that if I actually want to make any updates, albeit slow..
Featuring: Mainly Ethubs. Featuring (maybe) Gempearl, and Scarian. But if more propaganda works on me, I'll add more.
Tags will continue to update as this goes on.
- Don't expect consistent updates!
Slow burn? Or do I just not know how to write ? Who knows..
! GLADIATOR AU !
warning: author is inexperienced in writing (like, completely nothing, this is my first ever story), and has an indescribable hatred for reading and writing angst
(which does not pair well with the fact that I have decided to write a story set in a GLADIATOR SCHOOL, so that will be kept to a minimum, or if I can force it, none).
I will not publish a chapter if the scroll wheel is not smaller than the tip of my finger, OR If I'm not prepared to rapid fire (publish) multiple in one go.
- Mercy please, I'm practicing..

Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Complete
MYTHIC LEGENDS: FLAME AND EMPIRE
The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥![Gladiator [K.Zoldyck X fem!Reader] (HxH)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/359082637-256-k665268.jpg)
Gladiator [K.Zoldyck X fem!Reader] (HxH)
Battle. Blood. Entertainment. That's all she had known. This was the reason she was born. Her destiny. She was told to fight, to kill, to hunt for the rest of her life, to entertain those that paid. Not wanting to be told what to do any longer, she decided to leave and find friends to explore the world with. And where else to begin that search than with the Hunter Exam? ↜♡❖♡↝ This is a Killua Zoldyck X fem!Reader story ^///^ !Kind of a slow burn, but filled with lots of fluffy moments! !TW!

Forged in Frost and Fire (Book 1 in the Chronicles of Kings trilogy)
"As I laid on the filthy mat, my white hair fanning out like a halo around my head, I felt that ice inside of me fester. It grew and spread until it spanned across my entire body. It engulfed every thought inside my head, every feeling that was bubbling up inside of me. Like a virus. The cold quieted it all, until everything was still and silent... Until I felt nothing at all." Eira Gellert's world comes crumbling down as her sister is forced to leave for the army. Now alone and desperate, Eira looks for a job in a society where if you don't have a job by nineteen you either go into the army or starve. When searching, Eira stumbles across a woman claiming to be a half fae in charge of a spy rebellion going against the king of the fae kingdom "Hiraeth". She offers Eira a job to work as a spy for her. Eira reluctantly agrees, knowing she has no other options. But the deal does not come without a price, to enter the fae kingdom, Eira must become fae. Now equipped with uncommon powers and other fae abilities, Eira is thrust into a world she's only ever heard fairy tales about. One's with evil kings and dark crowns and warriors made of wings and fire. There, she meets Sable Deidre, the king's killer. He is made of darkness and known for his brutality. Can she overcome her fear of this new life and the killer before her, or will his shadows swallow her whole?

Are We There Yet: Seth Robins' 2024 Christmas Special
Bdubs stepped off of the plane, taking off his headphones and wrapping them around his neck. "Hey Bdubs!!" He glanced around and saw Scar, who waved a sign in the air. "Hey dude, you made it!!" Scar fist bumps his brother. "Yeah I actually survived." Bdubs yawned and stretched. "You hungry?" Scar asked, taking Bdubs backpack to take some weight off his shoulders. "Cod yes." Bdubs' stomach grumbled almost as if on cue. Scar chuckled and they walked out. "So how was your flight?" He asked. "It was alright. Had some bad turbulence when we came in since it's raining so hard." Scar nodded. "So where's Grian?" Bdubs asked. "We're gonna meet up at a diner, you okay with that?" "As long as I get food I'm chilling." ~ SHIPS: -Heart Husbands -Ethdubs -Shadowbeans -Wither Husbands -Flower Husbands -Scarian -Ahasbands ~ (Cover art is not mine) This work belongs to me, @Seth189.

Bound by Fire
Rating: 18+/New Adult Primary Genre: Dark Romantasy / Psychological Thriller with Epic Fantasy Elements Subgenres/Elements: Character-Driven, Found Family, Psychological Manipulation, Dark Romance, Love Triangle, Elemental Magic, Elite Military Academy, Coming-of-Age, Trauma & Healing Reader discretion is strongly advised. This book explores the blurred lines between love and obsession, protection and control, redemption and corruption. The ending sets up significant psychological conflict that challenges traditional romance dynamics. Synopsis: Fire doesn't ask for permission, it consumes. Celeste never asked to be extraordinary. When fire wakes beneath her skin and destroys everything she's ever known, she's taken from the quiet streets of Lahbell to the Southern Condinian Elite Academy-a fortress built to shape elemental soldiers from the ashes of fear. Inside its steel walls, rules are absolute, emotions are weaknesses, and failure is erased. But Celeste doesn't burn quietly. Between secret missions, rivalries, and whispered betrayals, she begins to uncover the truth behind Condinia's power, and the reason her own flames refuse to obey. Then there's Andrew: the soldier forged from fire and control. And Mark: the kinetic fighter who meets chaos with a grin. Both draw her in for reasons she can't name, and both force her to decide what her power is truly for-destruction, or protection. As darkness rises beyond the borders and loyalty fractures within, Celeste must confront the thing she fears most: that the fire inside her was never meant to be contained. Bound by Fire is a cinematic romantasy about survival, trust, and the bonds that are tested in war-where found family burns brightest in the shadows. Content Warnings: Graphic combat, PTSD, grief, military violence, and slow-burn romantic tension. Reader discretion is advised. You can also find my complete story on Amazon Kindle Unlimited Edition.Complete
Acrylic Waves (Bk 1)
There is the exaggerated thump of feet on the sand as if the owner of said feet had crashed harder than he intended. I hear the rasp of a sword drawn from an inventory and the clash of diamond sword on diamond sword, as well as Doc swearing. It's the one person I was both hoping to see and trying to avoid at all costs. My twin brother... Xisuma Void. Welcome to that EX fanfiction that is coming straight at you from my strange brain. I got inspired by reading a ton of other books about EX. EX in this fanfic is a born female and straight. Just to make it clear. If there's anything else I need to explain, then hit me in the comments or hermittpad discord. Don't do it literally though, I'm begging you. TWs: Blood, gore, bad depression, and strong angst. If these need to be updated, let me know. I'm not good at identifying triggers. Keep yourselves safe, my friends. /-\/-\/-\/-\/-\ denotes a transition in the story to a flashback, different time, or anything else, but the POV will stay the same. =+=+=+= denotes a change of POV. I try to write in 1st person all of the time, but we may get some 3rd person if needed (fight scenes) Feel free to leave spontaneous declarations, editing comments, or anything else in the comments. I enjoy reading them very much and they help me grow as a writer. Cover drawn by me :DComplete
