Long ago, in ancient Mesopotamia, four jewels were guarded by four clans within a secretive sect collectively calling themselves the Ishamah--jewels of Earth, Water, Sky, and Wind. When joined as one upon an ancient altar within a hidden temple these elemental jewels are rumored to endow great mystical power and possibly even immortality itself upon the one who unites them; unleashing the true essence of their collective power through a magical tablet known as the tablet of destiny--which can bestow godlike power to the one who unites all four jewels, and utters the ancient spell written thereon to usher in a new Sar or age.
But the sages of old who harnessed this great power deemed it too volatile to be wielded by one person for fear that it would fall into the hands of a corrupted madman. This is why the jewels were kept hidden and secret, their unpredictable power guarded and kept separated by the four clans of the Ishamah for thousands of years--each jewel kept hidden by each clan. 
Within one of the clans, a young man named Kish-rin is coming of age. As a 20-year-old young man he is expected to tackle the responsibility of becoming a chief guardian over the Mu jewel, the jewel of Water and Life, which his clan guards. Meanwhile, it is discovered that there may be a traitor among them. It is up to the Ishamah to unite in order to unmask this traitor and their mad plot before it's too late.
It's mystery meets fantasy in this epic adventure!!!

WitchHunter ✔️ by EmilyAnnGoodwin
50 parts Complete
A WitchHunter with a glorious destiny. An assassin desperate for freedom. A stable boy with a dangerous secret. A friend with a hidden family. A brother who craves vengeance. ~~~ The deceit is this: The Hunter has a Lochri daughter. The stable boy has a secret curse. The WitchMaster isn't what he appears. No one knows how or why the Lochri came into being. Some believe it was the work of gods. Others, many, many others, believe they are spawned from something much darker. WitchHunters, employed at Hunter's guilds, live their lives in search of these monsters, these unnatural beings who dare to question the order we have kept in place for centuries. I do not hold the title of WitchHunter, however, for I am something far more sinister. I am Alice, the Demon Raven of Kindleridge, and I'm their Ace. ~~~ They call her the Ace, the assassin owned by Velius Dag, highest ranking WitchMaster in the Kingdom. For six years, the Ace has lived mostly unbothered, but all that will change when Hale Arsen, Velius's adopted son, returns to the Ridge, and the Ace is assigned to protect him, as he will one day become the future WitchMaster. Tensions rise as the two clashing personalities come together time after time in feud, but with the Lochri problem growing ever stronger, and secrets begin to unravel themselves, these two opposing forces will have to realize that working together may be the only way to keep the world from figuring out the truth that could spell disaster for them all. What happens when you realize you might be the bad guy?
Become the Strongest Master With a Genius Student by VheenaD

Long ago, there was a legend about a powerful cultivator from the Fallen Rainbow Kingdom. The cultivator raised seven disciples whose mere name alone was capable of shaking all realms. However, many experts who researched hundreds of thousands of years of history suspected the story to be a fabrication as no evidence of the person or his legacy was found. "Nonsense! How dare they say master story is just a legend!!!" "There's no way I'm going to accept what they're saying! If it wasn't for the fact that this planet is where the sect and master used to live, I would have destroyed them!" There was a shout in a simple food stall from a girl with no satisfaction. But strangely the scream did not disturb the other guests, as if the scream had not been heard by them. "S-students calm down, it's been too long anyway. With the short lifespan of humans, they must have just assumed it was a legend. Master is not offended." Replied a young girl who was sitting with the screaming girl. "No master! I can't just take their word for it! They have to know the true story master!"The girl continued in an angry tone and continued her endless rant. _______ Well, this story is about an ordinary man who became a woman (lost his balls) when he was transferred to the world of Xianxia. Because of his stupidity, he tricked people into becoming his apprentice just to make his life easier, but regretted it because he was afraid of being found out about his lie (because he was an ordinary man? who pretended to be a cultivator). Occasional weird wording and grammar, English isn't my first language. The book cover is from AI.

"Who knows what destiny will do?" When Shankar, a man of few words and intense ambition, crosses paths with Madhavi, a lively and mischievous soul, their lives take an unexpected turn. He is bound by duty, anger, and an unwavering connection to Lord Shiva. She dances through life with wit, charm, and devotion to Krishna.

What Fate brought these two together and What forces are waiting to tear them apart? In a world where love, power, and faith collide, nothing is as it seems. Shankar leans back in his chair, his expression unreadable, yet his eyes flash with intensity. Shankar: "I don't believe in wasting time with words, Madhavi. Actions matter. And once I've made a decision, I don't look back." He pauses, eyes narrowing slightly, the hint of a challenge in his voice. Shankar: "So if you want to keep playing your little games, understand this-I don't lose." Madhavi twirls her flute between her fingers, a playful smile tugging at her lips as she looks at Shankar. Madhavi: "You might think life is all about control, Shankar, but where's the fun in that?" She takes a step closer, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Madhavi: "You say you don't lose, but I wonder... have you ever tried playing the game my way? You might just find yourself enjoying it." She grins, turning away with a wink, leaving him with more questions than answers.

In the kingdom of Ascar, 17-year-old Ayben begins his second year at the prestigious Dressdardon Magic Academy. This year, he achieves a significant milestone by forming a Soul Pact with Rizel, a mirror familiar from the enigmatic Mirror Realm, a parallel dimension where reflections and illusions take sentient forms. While soul pacts are celebrated achievements that significantly enhance a mage's power, Rizel's cold and distant demeanor surprises Ayben, as such bonds are typically founded on deep friendships. The lack of a strong connection hinders Ayben's Soul-Bound magic, leaving it practically non existent. As Ayben and Rizel confront imminent dangers, embark on daring adventures and navigate the academy's complex magical curriculum, their bond slowly deepens despite their initial conflicts. Meanwhile, Ascar faces escalating threats from the Fae, a mystical race with ancient powers and conflicting agendas. With the kingdom's stability at risk and war with the Fae approaching, Ayben's relationship with Rizel is tested like never before. His evolving feelings for Rizel add further complexity as he strives to balance his personal emotions with his responsibilities. In a world where magic and politics are perpetually at odds, Ayben must push his limits and find a path to peace amid the chaos.

Things have been a rollercoaster of a ride since I, Princess Isilme Akasha, came to the elven realm of Oira Londe. A Darkness has been plaguing the realm, causing discord and war against one clan. One such attack led me to travel with my boyfriend, Prince Adresin Gaelin, and his cousin, Prince Elluin, to the library of my ancestral castle, searching for something to cure Elluin's poisoned father. We discovered the magical healing properties of the blessed Akashan fountain water, but I also found out something horrifying. My long-lost twin brother, Keasatran Akasha, who brought the Darkness to the realm to punish the clans for ignoring our ancestor's warnings about the dire consequences of banishing humans. I refused to join him, and left with the princes and the cure in hand. After a few misadventures, and getting accidently sent to another realm, we managed to make it back in time with the cure. Now, my ancestors gave me a mission I must fulfill; to use the same sacred water to bless the four guardian shrines and save them from the Darkness that threatens to consume them. However, my brother is now somewhere in Oira Londe, after I was forced to help him return in order to recover the cure to save Elluin's father. He asked me to trust him, but can I after all he's done? With all these burdens and hardly any more answers to my gifts, can I trust my gifts and instincts to guide me when the time is right? **This novel is dedicated in loving memory to Chloë Xianah, friend of Torishima Eve, best friend of MasterMissy, and original voice actor for the ASMR Elf Prince series.
