5A 390 - The Magnon Empire is all but a shadow of its former self. Split into two halves, it is well past its zenith, and is on its way to a steady decline. Centuries of warfare against their hostile neighbors, as well as within themselves, have exhausted the empire and its people. Weak-willed rulers and corrupt officials altogether grub on taxes, crushing the people under its overwhelming weight. Public order has ever since dwindled, people all around the provinces are in revolt, and their enemies grow ever stronger as the empire tosses and turns in its sleep.
Furthermore, every single human being inhabiting the realm of man and beast are being plagued by a feeling of dread, or foreboding, that the end times are dawning. Some people dismiss this feeling as a prescience of the Magnon Empire's fall, yet some are led to believe that this feeling entails the destruction of the mortal plane, and the end of all forms of life itself. 
This story follows the exploits of eight young legionaries - serving as members of the Palatina Guard - or the Palace Guardians of the Southern Magnon Emperor. Whether these young and gifted individuals can avert the disaster that is coming, remains to be seen. 

The first of these disasters have already sprung forth, brewing within the remote island of Drahkindol, far to the east of Magna Terraria, the heart of the empire. This rugged and beautiful land is inhabited by a unique race referred by the humans as the Dragonkin. These Dragonkin are truly extraordinary, appearing the be a conjoint of man, elf, and beast altogether. The land is currently torn asunder by a great civil war, and the influences of that war has already seeped out of the island, and into the empires of man. The threat of this war engulfing human race is enough reason for reconciliation between the different peoples of the mainland, but whether this is the war that can shatter the Magnon Empire and the realm of man or not, the Magnon people can only pray.

Heros Forgotten, Legends Reborn When imminent Calamity Strikes all eight worlds, Four heros are Chosen, their Legends already decided. This unlikely group is Taken to another world - The World of Dragons - to Face a Terror unlike any other. Witness the beginning of the Tale of DragonForce, The likes of which Rival only the most legendary tales of the Nine Worlds. Can Fate be Cheated? Altered? Do we really have a say in the Shapes our stories take? Or do the machinations of forces beyond comprehension have the final say? "Do You really Think this is Enough to stop me?" "Bring it On! I've Got Destiny on My Side!" "What Right do I have to not give it my All?" "I don't want Anyone else... To Suffer" "Too Easy" "I hunt Demons, Moron! What'd You Expect?" "Who--What I am is Non of your Concern, Fool" "Is that the best you could think of?" ------------------------------------ This will be the First Book of the Legends Saga, a complex tale spanning nine worlds, Thousands of years of History and the Culmination of most, perhaps All of Xeoria's Legendary Heros in an Epic quest to Defy Fate and bring about a new Age. There will be Short Side Stories used to better contextualise Characters or create a nice break from the plot and tension. Think of these as Filler Episodes you can skip. These are just one-off adventures or flashbacks used for little more than characterization and world building. These will be indicated with " ||SS|| " (Side Story). Keep in mind: • Descriptions of Violence and Gore • Language • Multiple Story Arcs and perspectives • The majority of the book is a work in progress and most of it will undergo edits and changes even if published ------------------------------------ "The only path to accomplish anything is resolution, Determination and Planning. And of course, one can achieve Nothing on their own" -Erechthyus StormHeart, R.Y. 0001IV

Occasionally, the outcome of epic conflict hinges on the efforts of unexpected heroes whose details are lost to time. This is one of those tales. After ruthless hook-headed demons slaughter the Luminarium's brothers and sisters without warning, early clues suggest the use of magic well beyond the capabilities of contemporary masters. Driven by grief and a thirst for vengeance, the two surviving monks join forces with a collection of poorly trained spies, treasure-hunting thieves, and an entitled ranger to settle the score. As they stumble into a puzzle of dark magic and conspiracy, the group is suddenly critical to the survival of freedom and civilization. Isolated and ill-equipped, can they unravel the Enigma in time to prevent a dark and dystopian future? What to Expect: Multiple Main Characters: A group of imperfect non-human adventurers with various skills and backgrounds join forces for a common desirable outcome. Collaborative Problem Solving: The struggle to become greater than the sum of their original parts and find a way to succeed as significant underdogs. Exploration and Discovery: A world with history, magic, and cryptids waiting to be discovered, understood, harnessed, and overcome. Natural Progression (without the stats): MCs develop personally and professionally within the story's context, honing themselves and their craft as they go. Dungeons and Dragons flavor: A homebrew world that broadly follows the ideas and constructs of the game. More adventure than politics: Worldbuilding is minor and situationally relevant. There will be no info dumps of national history or political rivalry, except where necessary to the plot. For me, the characters and the adventure are the story. Updates on Fridays, around 7 pm Eastern

Daniel Reas Age: 23 Profession: Game - Alpha Tester Social Status: Single/Virgin While testing a new game he is transported to a new world know as the Verdant Realm. It is filled with Gods and Goddesses, Elves, Dwarves, High-humans known Aesir, Vanir and Barbarians, Animals, Dragons, and more. However, the world is not what it seems, and a foretold cataclysm may yet destroy it before he's strong enough to save it. --(!)-- The backdrop of this fantasy world is both beautiful and harsh. The Prime Races escaped Midgard just before a global cataclysm at the height of their Age of Science, Sorcery, and Pagan Religion. of their pagan religious culture. Within there side-slip dimension called the Green Realm, Verdant Realm, or the Garden. They grew side-by-side with mankind on Midgard until present day. 5000 years later their culture is steeped in pagan traditions that have led to prostitution being sanctioned and promoted by various churches, and very open and even incestuous life-styles. The ratio of monogamous to polygomist relationships is about 50/50. Harems and reverse harems are equally commonplace. Given the very limited animal resorces they brought with them they used science and magic to splice every animal species with Alari, Dvergr, or Giant DNA creating hybrids named the Animals, Insects, and various marine life. Later they spliced certain tree's DNA into Alfari thereby creating the Arboreals. Even in a fantasy there is oppression, racism, religious anamosity, political corruption, and corporate greed. In the Garden Realm the fantastic is everywhere, and sometimes it's hard to live but brutally easy to die. (Warning: This is an adult fantasy with graphic adult themes and scenes. Graphic nudity, sex, violence, and language.)

AVAILABLE ON AMAZON & KINDLE On the planet Keodis, upon the western continent, Uestron, inside the Raesifiin Empire, in the small naval city of Cyripo, the story begins when thirteen diverse strangers answer a strange pamphlet to a quest. The quest is to find a powerful gem in the Deep Forest, and then to use what powers it bestowed on them to delve into the Mountain Barrier. There, they will have to find the Light to dispel the growing Darkness within. Though this qest is honorable and righteous, the dangers that await them are exponentially worse than they could ever imagine. Whether they can save the world depends on whether they can survive themselves. Mature rating for blood, gore and depictions of violence. TW: mentions of drunkards and beer, mention of physical abuses, a description of trypophobia, claustrophobia, and other phobias, and descriptions of nasty cryptids. There is no depictions or allusions of sex, no f-bombs, or drug abuse. This story was started when I was in seventh grade. I finished the original when I was a senior in high school. Displeased with the finished product, I began to rewrite it here, starting June 2015, then again in 2020. I am quite satisfied with the result, and am sure this will be the final edition. This isn't the first book of the series, but there's no spoilers for 'The World is Larger than it Seems', so you can start on this one. The story is far from finished, however, and I hope to eventually finish the series.

"You will seek death but you will not find it. You will long to lose consciousness but ever present you shall stay. Finally alone you will shrivel up and die without your own kind in all your magnificent splendor, and only after everyone you love is dead. By then, it will no longer matter, for when you finally have your light you will depart from it faster than fire from a raging wind. But perhaps you would have comfort yet little one. Death is a sweet thing in a world like this." Cursed by a Wishing Dragon when she was only a dragonet, Stygian sets off in search of a cure, leaving behind everyone she knows and loves. On her journey for help she meets more enemies than friends, with a little red fox as her only companion. At last she finds Turbulence; God of Confusion; the only one who can save her, or so he or she claims. *** Fyran, the Librarian's Apprentice is on the hunt for Leviathan; a legendary beast long foretold by prophecy, a prophecy she had disregarded as an old fable. Yet, ever since her father stumbled into their broken down house one dark night covered in blood and deliriously talking about a dragon with iron teeth, Fyran is no longer so sure. After her father dies and renders them all penniless, Fyran goes in search of this creature to take revenge-and the huge bounty on its head issued by the King of Sufta. Perhaps she will be successful and they'll no longer have to grovel as the poorest of the poor, and at the very least she'll acquire justice for the murder of her father, the only father she's ever had. But there is an old and forgotten prophecy as old as time fast approaching on the horizon. Nobody can stop it, fate is a force that can't be reckoned with, and everything that ever has and will ever happen to every citizen has already been foretold in their scrolls. The fate of Sufta is uncertain, and powerful forces are at play, but who has enough discernment to understand a long forgotten prophecy that's been dismissed by generations?

A decade and a half passed when another Holy War started where a tale of a clash between the Dragon of Destruction, Bahamut against the entire forces of the Divine Realm and the Hero of Light, Tyron, took place that caused a total devastation on the entire world. Angelica Lee, Dark Princess of the Dark Realm settled down with Tyron and formed a simple and happy family, determined to forget everything that happened in their dark past that was stained with too much blood shed. They had a boy named Arthur and a girl named Artesia. Both of them had lived their lives without knowing what they truly are. Soon the Oracle spoke about a prophecy foretelling a divine blessing given upon those two. A blessing that would save the entire universe from further destruction in exchange of a cruel quest. As much as to their parent's contradiction, they are forbidden to help them in any way, and Arthur and Artesia are put in a sudden and shocking situation where they have to collect all missing pieces of the Blessed Stone scattered on Earth together with the team of demigods that they formed known as the Dark Nightingales in order to complete the blessing given upon by Cosmos herself. But much more to their resolve, they wanted to accept such heavy burden just for their family to be whole again and for them to meet their beloved person. Sadness. Loneliness. Pain. Heartbreaks. DESPAIR. Will Arthur and Artesia ever be able to adapt to their destinies and conquer the tale of twisted fates? Will they ever be able to defeat the Demon Army, the Seven Deadly Sins, and the God of Discord, Chaos? "There are fates worst than death."

I wrote this for EVERYONE. An introduction to my universe.Best for slow , attentive , close reading. Stick with it. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long ) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mystery and enjoy its intrigue.. The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world in inevitable finality. The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. What does it take to take everything? Every home, every name, every last trace of what once was. And who would do such a thing? And how? No one has ever seen anything that would make them believe in magic. Gamleon is the first to see and to survive. His mind near collapse under the strain, his heart broken. He runs. What would you do? What could anyone do? A world of mythological beasts and medieval men, where Gorgon hordes slither beneath the earth, clawing for metal, for power, for anything. But they come for your children. Opulent kings wage wars over things no one can even recall, blind to the coming obliteration. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out the cataclysm. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Our weary, world-worn adventurer is a paradox: terrifying perhaps, yet tender, grotesque but with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. With no choice but to navigate the unexpected Gorgon tunnels, his inner thoughts help us all learn how to persist and triumph in the face of impossible odds. Join him and be swept away as he reconciles never-before-seen innovations and insurmountable challenges. Dignity and hope. Self-respect and courage.

The Misfits and the Devourer

24 Bölüm Tamamlanmış Hikaye

In a world teetering on the edge of ruin, a Tiefling who has escaped the shadows of the Underdark seeks redemption-and the chance to prove himself worthy of the title "hero." But in a land where prejudice runs deep and darkness stirs, the path to heroism is far from simple. Joined by a band of unlikely companions-a hulking Minotaur with more strength than sense, a hapless human wizard, a druid plagued by a phobia of animals, and a Goliath bard who prefers ballads to brawls-he is thrust into a perilous quest. Their mission? Recover an ancient staff forged by the gods before a sinister secret society can unleash a primordial force known only as the Devourer, a being older than existence itself. Their journey will take them through treacherous ruins, oppressive towns under imperial control, and cosmic battlegrounds where reality bends. Along the way, they'll face fierce battles, puzzling challenges, and eccentric foes, from flamboyant pirate captains to pompous noble adventurers. As the stakes rise and bonds are forged, this ragtag group of misfits may be the world's last hope-if they can survive long enough to become the heroes they were never meant to be.
