martial artists arrive - total strangers, each carrying the weight of their style, philosophy, and pride. Twenty-four fighters. Twenty-four disciplines. One rule: respect above all.

From the flowing kicks of Sikaran to the precise strikes of Arnis, the spinning rhythms of Capoeira to the lethal efficiency of Krav Maga, each warrior embodies not just a fighting technique, but a way of life. Here, skill alone isn't enough. Only those grounded in balance, awareness, and humility will survive the trials ahead.

As rivalries ignite and philosophies clash, the island becomes a crucible for testing the limits of body and mind. Friendships will be forged, alliances shattered, and every warrior will discover that strength without respect is meaningless.

One Ground is the first volume of an epic martial arts saga - a cinematic, realistic, and deeply human story of combat, discipline, and the universal truth that transcends every style: every warrior stands. Only the grounded survive.All Rights Reserved

Deicide: Death's Chosen Assassin by Vegitoprime

Kael Drayven grew up in the shadows of an orphanage that was anything but ordinary. Trained from a young age to kill with precision and intellect, he became the ultimate weapon-cold, calculating, and deadly. But Kael wasn't content to be a pawn in someone else's game. At just 18, he masterminded the destruction of the very place that shaped him, erasing his past in a blaze of fire and blood. For two years, he roamed free, a ghost in the underworld, his body riddled with scars and his mind sharper than ever. But even the smartest and deadliest aren't invincible. At 20, Kael succumbed to the wounds and exhaustion of a life lived on the edge. Death wasn't the end for him, though. In his final moments, Kael is confronted by a vengeful god who offers him a new purpose: become his chosen assassin and take down the twelve gods who betrayed him. In a new world brimming with magic and divine power, Kael's sharp mind and lethal skills make him the perfect weapon. But can a man who has only known betrayal and bloodshed find meaning in a god's quest for revenge? Or will he simply become another expendable piece in a cosmic game far bigger than himself?

The Tides of Aeternum by aliffsen

In a school where magic is divided by discipline, one girl dares to cross the lines fate drew for her. Born of sea and land, Maris Thalor has never truly belonged to either. Pressured to follow in her healer mother's footsteps and enroll in the esteemed College of Vitalis and Warding Magic, Maris makes a different choice - one that stuns her family and reshapes her destiny. She joins the College of Warshaping and Aerial Command, where dragon riders and battlecasters forge weapons from fire and will. But as she learns to master her waterbound powers in the skies above the ancient spires of Academia Arcanum Aeternum, Maris begins to sense a darker current beneath the school's hallowed traditions. Students are disappearing. Forbidden spells echo through the halls. And the school's revered director hides a secret that could unravel the fabric of magic itself. Together with a diverse group of students - a necromancer bound to shadows, a potion prodigy with soft-spoken genius, an adventurous elemental, a law-bound scholar of divine magic, a brilliant illusionist, and a gentle healer named Kaori - Maris must uncover a sinister plot that threatens to sacrifice the students to demonic forces in the name of power. To save the academy, Maris must embrace every part of who she is - not what others want her to be. Because in this world, choice is the greatest magic of all.

The Chosen Nothing by Lady_Veil

Something has learned of her existence--and it hasn't taken its eyes off her. She doesn't know why. She doesn't know how. A sudden pulse behind her eyes. Shadows seem to hesitate where they shouldn't. The world feels slightly wrong--edges sharper, colours colder--as if something stands just beyond knowing. And she doesn't even notice a thing. Then a voice pulls her through a tear between worlds. Waking in a land of magic and entirely different rules, she'll come to learn that every spell has a system and every secret demands a price. Being already enroled in an academy of immense power, she must navigate mysteries surrounding her with new--and questionable--alliances. A presence of little significance, a mind full of doubt, a heart carefully guarded--but somehow, the key to everything. Emma was never meant to be found. But she is. Author's Note: What's up for readers! If you enjoy slow-burn stories with longer chapters, think story-rich, narrative-driven RPGs (e.g., Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact), this series is crafted for you. Patience is rewarded, and every moment is meant to deepen the journey. :)
