archers chase children forest knight knights mages nobles thieves

A long time ago, it was thought to be pre-determined before your birth whether you would carry on your life on the path of good or the path of evil. Some people have changed their thoughts on this and say people can change. But even at that, can people really change?

Sierra Fidelis and Leo Volaticus lived their lives together as Nobles in their town of Regium for ten years. On the night of his tenth birthday, Leo mysteriously disappeared. The Knights searched the forest for days, and then weeks, but never found young Leo. Some say that he was stolen by Thieves, or shot with an arrow by Archers, or taken to some strange land by the Mages. Not even Sierra knew where he best friend had run off to.

Eight years passed, and any hope of finding Leo was long gone. Sierra, following through with her dream to be a Knight, chases a Thief into the surrounding forest. After that, she finds Leo's true fate. Would she have been better off accepting he was dead?

So can you really turn good after being evil? How do you know when you've reached your limit?All Rights Reserved

the dark light by magic_is_somewhere

My life was supposed to be normal. You're born, raised by good parents, go to school, make friends, graduate, get a job. You create fun memories, find the love of your life, get married, start a family, grow old, and eventually, you breathe your last. That's what life was supposed to be like for me. But instead, my life turned out to be the opposite of normal. And so it was for Chiara, Blake, Jake, Rowan, Nova, and Dijon. To tell our story, we need to go all the way back to the beginning. Before we were even born. It all started 30 years ago. April 5, 2003. a class got into an accident and when the survivors woke up, they realized something was wrong. they got powers , they got taken by scientist who started calling them the hollows. It took almost a month before they were rescued by Mr. Knight, they got taken to a secret place where they could live peacefully. that's a lie, one of the students wanted revenge and not stay hidden, so the group seperated. Every year another person got powers, and so, the search continued. But there was always one question on mr. Knight mind: Why 12 children the first time, and only one per year after that? And one thing was for sure: whenever someone gained powers, they had to give something up in return. It was never a choice. It was just the way it was. So, now that I've explained a bit about how this all started, let's fast forward to the present. It's now 2033. Mr. Knight has found 19 children, and Mr. Douglas, the leader of the other group, has found 10. That means... the 30th child is out there somewhere. Who will it be? And one more thing before I go-welcome to the world of Dark Light.

Vixen by underworldcorp

"Are you willing to risk everything?" He asked, leaning his face in closer until our foreheads touched and our lips were barely an inch apart. His blue eyes were so deep and dark today, but not in the menacing way, more so in a lustful longing. My heart was speeding so erratically in my chest that I was afraid that it might just pop right out. Say yes! My wolf cheered. She was waiting for this ever since we first found his smell. That alluring smell of security. Well my thoughts were really getting muddled. "I have nothing to lose," I stated bluntly while trying to distract my heart. And then abruptly he backed away, taking my breath away with him. I wasn't sure what to make of the situation. We both stood there standing speechless for a moment. I couldn't help but to feel a disgusted that he would act like he wanted me and then pull away so harshly. "You selfish son of a cunt," --- In her run for freedom and to find out who she is, Cora ends up entangled in the arms of Raphael, the relentless beast. Heir to the Black Blood throne, he has no intentions of letting Cora slip through the cracks so soon especially since she's a puzzle to crack. Bit by bit, Cora's identity comes together to form a scary truth; she's just another pawn in the ultimate game of Fate. What would you do if your entire life was a lie? Would you run from it or venture towards the truth?

Helios's retelling by VioletVoidMenagerie

I'm not gonna change the cover yet lol Warning, this may contain vivid and graphic descriptions of blood, injuries, gore, torture, kidnapping, CA, child trafficking, racist characters, death, potential mentions of SA/CSA, and generally may be an extremely triggering thing to read, if you do choose to read my dumb stories. This is a heavier read, and if you need to stop or take a break after anything written, go ahead, and take care of your mental health :3 ~ Helios was a talented young man, strong, agile, and always helped around the village. Everything from herding José's sheep, or helping him with the harvest, to helping build new housing, or hunting with his dad. He's always been beloved around the village. It was a poor community, but everyone knew everyone, and they were happy. But one morning, while Helios was about to go explore the savannah with his friend, a truck pulled up to the village, a semi painted all black, and one man stepped out from the passenger side door... and in only a few hours, Helios's life changed from a helpful village boy, to a kidnapped child. This is his story, told by his own tongue.

The Orion Legacy by DrPayne

Let me tell you a story of a kingdom that was once the most advanced civilization known to this day, a pinnacle of achievement that still astounds the universe with its grandeur and sophistication. Its twin towers were the centre of all knowledge of the universe, and their luminous rays radiated from the lights at the tip of each tower, guiding all travellers from across time and space back to its main doors. Until the day they arrived, from the shadows and as old as our known universe, we battled with all we had to contain this dark and mysterious life form. Our kingdom was about to fall. Our scientists found a way by creating a wormhole through space to a new world, granting us a chance to save our civilization. But something happened during the process... I was jolted awake to find myself alone, hundreds of years later, and all of those who had been with me gone. It was only after certain events that I discovered my immortality, so I vowed to rebuild the Orion civilization in this new world. One day, against all odds, I met her gaze, a unique gaze that only my wife Lisana had possessed. I later realized that it was her spirit reincarnated, as Kayronian we could only love one person, we were irrevocably drawn to each other regardless of distance and time. We lived happily until her death; many years later on a trip to another continent, I encountered her again, this time as queen of a Nordic people, multiple lives together followed, united by our eternal love and the immeasurable pain of reliving her death over and over again, in total I had to bury her with my own hands 87 times. The last Lisana implored me to break the cycle before it started again. Then the first occurrence happened, somehow they found a way to access this realm, through some rift, However, they were unable to keep their physical form in this world, i must find a way stop to them.

THE DON'S OBSESSION by ZeeeZeeeBeee

"My eyes flashed with confusion and sadness. "You don't love me," I spat. "You just love the idea of me. And that's not enough." I said, trying to find my voice. It was a moment of raw emotion, of unbridled passion, and of unwavering conviction He objected, "No, I really do. I thought I was just lusting after you but after everything that has happened, I realized that it was not lust. I am in love with you Mi Reina." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When Jazlyn took a job as a stripper at Leonardo's club, she never expected to catch his eye.

Shattered by Leonardo's rejection, Jazlyn's world crumbled around her. Yet, with a fierce determination, she rose from the ashes, forging a new path and discovering a love that will heal her shattered heart. But just as she thought she'd finally escaped the toxic grasp of her past, Leonardo came crawling back, his eyes pleading for forgiveness.

We shall find our own Happy Ending by amey78

'Are you kidding me' That's what I thought as I find out I got reincarnated into so called Romantic Fantasy novel I read which of all the people I could've lived a normal life, I got reincarnated as Elisha Elizondo, a tragic character who dies by the hands of Male Lead's perverted dad after her own father force her became his concubine? Even my own siblings who died and have a horrible fate that ended with death and suicide? Oh, dear God. I'm flipping this forsaking plot. Screw this and my duke for being a fool. I run away with my siblings as disowning my very own 'father' as living secretly with my maternal grandfather, Marquess Valencia. While living few years with Grandpa, I meet the Villainess Rosabella Bardales who was in her weakest state and seems that she run away from her neglectful father and her abusive half-brothers. I felt sympathy for her, and I took her in by knowing her painful past. Seriously, why tragic people like her, and my siblings are always suffering by the same nonsense of our so called 'Families'? Even knowing why OG Elisha was chosen as the Male Lead's dad concubine. "Elisha, no matter what happens, I promised to be by your side...even if the world, calls you a witch or monster" I look back and seeing the Dragon Lord who looks at me gently and showing me some comfort. I smile before I look at him with pink dusts on my pale face. "Thanks, Draco. For being by my side, I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart". We shall find our happiness and have own Happy Ending.

The Nest Witch by feste_the_fool

I died for some ridiculous reason and woke up in another world. In a universe where women who are not nobles are considered worthless objects, I was a peasant woman. In a universe where all witches had already been burned, I was a witch. The most beautiful curse I could find to express myself turned into praise. ✏️ This is not a literary work. It was written just for fun. 🙈 ✏️ The descriptions are weak. 🙉 I'll go back and correct the writing errors once I hit the 100th chapter. ✏️ There are parts where light novels are mocked and parodied. 🙊 ✏️ A casual language has been used. 🦋 ✏️ Oh my God, this story contains 16+ violence and includes scenes of inappropriate behavior. 🐷 ✏️ I hate advertisements. ❗️🚫🚫🚫 ✏️ The main character claims to be an atheist, but she is not; she's just a teenager on a quest for identity, swinging from one place to another. (Thank you, Captain Obvious!) 🕌⛪️🏛⛩🕍 ✏️ The genre is isekai and RPG. 🎡 (In other words, the universe was written with a game logic. If you want to read more works like this, I recommend searching for the tags 'RPG,' 'game elements,' or 'system administration' on a site called novelupdates.) ✅ I'm a fool too. The fool wishes everyone a good show. @all rights reserved @swear it's reserved lol @seriously reserved, watch out lmao

The Art Of Getting Rich Again by Vissius

She had it all-money, power, luxury. A brilliant businesswoman at the peak of success, she lived in a world where intelligence and cunning ruled. But in the blink of an eye, everything was taken from her. Struck by lightning and thrown into an unfamiliar medieval fantasy world, she wakes up with nothing. No wealth, no connections, no mana-not even a noble title. Just a sharp mind, a relentless drive, and a burning desire to reclaim the status she once had. In this new world where power is determined by bloodline, magic, and strength, she must outwit corrupt nobles, manipulate guilds, negotiate with criminals, and navigate a world filled with hidden dangers. Along the way, she gathers a small but loyal group of allies-a cold-hearted fallen noble, a thick-headed warrior, a skeptical scholar, and a seductive spy. With no magic of her own, she must use business, strategy, and deception to rise above the system. The world is against her, but she doesn't care. Because in the end, wealth isn't about magic or bloodline. It's about who plays the game better. And she intends to win.

Being a Tsundere Girl's Butler by Random816196

The woman who called herself a goddess summoned me to her after I died and sent me to a medieval-like world to be reincarnated, saying that she didn't want me to be reborn on Earth, which was supposedly her world. Everything was normal so far, but why is the name of the system that the goddess was supposed to give me as part of the deal we made* after I was reborn, the butler system? Anyway, I'll forgive the goddess for choosing such a beautiful mother for me. Ehehehehe, luckyy... It's time to breastfeed. ------- one year later Huh, it was bound to happen. If you ignore something as important as cleaning a wound before dressing it, of course it will fester. What can a simple village apothecary do with a huge wound so close to the heart? It's too late... What the fuck is the green light coming from the old woman's hand ! ? ------- four years later "I want you to be my personal butler, Yuto." Isn't that supposed to be a choice, you little bitch? How can you say it's a free choice when there's a man behind me waiting to kill me the moment I refuse? Should I use my teleport ability to get out of here? [ Your five-year term has expired, please become a real butler as soon as possible if you wish to continue using the system ] There's a lot of pressure on me... What the hell, I'm just gonna be a little butler, what's the most I can be? Patreon/OLD_storage ------ Arc I- reincarnation / 1~12 Arc II- Being a Butler / 13~35 Arc III- Blessing / 36~41 Arc IV- a noble... / 42~54 Arc V- An ordinary? day for the Ironblood family / 55~71 Arc VI- Puclic auction and banquet night / 72~116 Arc VII- The Emperor level training battle / 117~130 Arc VIII- Separation / 131~150 Arc IX- The ruthless hunter of the dark seas / 151~???
