The Way of All Flesh by micmaelstrom

After her village is destroyed by a powerful daemon, young Naomi sets off on a journey of revenge. Along the way, she meets and befriends fellow travelers, all of whom hide a great darkness in their hearts. Together the group ventures through the kingdom of Cantien and grow slowly closer together and closer to their goal. Accomplishing the impossible, killing a daemon. This story was written for Nanowrimo 2021. It has not been edited nor beta read therefore it is most likely filled with grammar and spelling mistakes, my apologies in advance. This story is also incomplete and most likely will never be completed since I lost the document that had the plot outline on it. But if someone really wants me to finish it I will, I just don't have the time right now. The second half of this story was written after I was in a bus crash and had whiplash so... be nice

Passion (Book 1 of "The Fantasy of Life" Series) by pvyuii

(Not proofread, not final version but all the chapters are there. This book is a fantasy story set at a modern time, although don't expect cell phones or true technology, cause who needs it when you have magic. I copy and pasted this story from my computer, this got rid of most of my italic, bold, or underlined words. Last note: Cover is temporary, it doesn't even come close to portraying what I want.) A revenge fueled journey leads a young elven girl and a group she brings together through her cause and some other nice coincidences. Something big, very big has come back from a long slumber, turning loved ones against their own people with some strange ulterior motive. When trying to escape the worst, and learning you're not wanted dead you wonder what it all means, what it's all for, and that only makes the rage worse.

Before It Happens by adrienbrody

Completed for NaNoWriMo, this story follows a twenty-something-year-old freelance reporter named Ash Pa'krou and his ragtag news crew as they go on a quest to discover exactly what lies behind the strange Unity law firm. Unfortunately, this book will remain indefinitely unfinished. My computer broke earlier this year, and along with a bunch of other important data, I lost the ending of this book. While I can place a summary below, I am unfortunately incapable of bringing myself to rewrite the story. ---- spoilers ---- The book ends with Ash realizing that he is of witch descent. Seraph takes him and Killian hostage. After she makes an attempt at their life, Oswald and Christopher come for them. Christopher is killed in the chaos, and Ash realizes he has no choice but to leave Seraph alive in order to maintain the peace between Nueva and Marn. He returns back to the mainland and discovers that while he had achieved something that belonged in history books, none of them would ever receive credit for it due to corrupted footage. Their plan to become a real news team falls apart, and each of them go their separate ways. Ash realizes that he has fallen for Killian, but, knowing that Killian is straight, decides instead to help Killian find happiness. Oswald and Ash remain good friends, but they realize that they will never be the same people they were Before it Happened.

My Kingdom Come Book 1: The Saints We See (Complete) by ShadOLeerie

Do your genes, your parents, teachers, or your master determine who you will be in life? Can they set your value in the universe? 650 years ago the known species of the universe came together and signed the Alliance, a document that would help each race find its place in the universe. It granted freedom to some and the scant protection of slavery to others. Into this society a handful of children are born who will change it forever, if they can survive to adulthood. Here is the origin story of two of those children. Hathu is born to a man determined to make the universe bow to him and his species. Since he learned to talk, Hathu has been a disappointment to his father. He doesn't want to become a warrior, and he refuses to assert his dominance. When he accidentally overhears his father plotting against the Ir'Klahn empire, can Hathu stop him? Mik is born with no rights, destined to become a lifelong slave. His mother tries to protect him from this fate by running away and finding a home for them on a trading ship that travels from world to world. They are safe for now, but how long can they hide from the best trackers in the universe? This is the first book in the My Kingdom Come series. Updates every Tuesday. :) My 2021 Nanowrimo so please excuse the unedited condition of the story. Be warned: there is violence, rape, murder, abuse, self harm and suicidal thoughts in this story. I do not post trigger warnings.
