The Exiled King | ✔ von Calagtic

Fifty years ago, demons invaded the mortal realm of Dargon, leaving a trail of destruction across the five kingdoms. The six Guardians of that generation united the kingdoms and fought back against the demons, scattering their ashes to the winds. Then, they vanished into legend, and with them, their powers. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? There are rumours that another demon army gathers in the fiery realm of the Abyss, greater than the first and led by a cunning mastermind whose motivations are unknown. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined-where it seems that things may have been set in motion long before anyone could ever have anticipated and the path forward may just be the one that ends in death. Trilogical Compilation | Books 1, 2 & 3 (If the number of chapters seems daunting, just know that most of the chapters are short) [Fans of The Stormlight Archive may enjoy this book] Best Rankings #7 in fantasyadventure (Out of 32.4k stories) #8 in journey (Out of 30.4k stories) Cover by Azanthiel Human written.

Shadow Archive von ReezWriter

When the world collapsed, it wasn't war, famine, or plague that brought it down. It was words. Sentient grimoires devoured cities. Living paragraphs swallowed memories. And language itself fractured reality. Kael Orven, once a brilliant young Librarian, now roams the ruins with no past beyond the glyphs carved into his arm-glyphs that burn every time he faces a corrupted text. When he witnesses a book eat a man's face, Kael realizes something terrifying: The words remember him. And they want him back. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Lira Vein, a blind exorcist who "hears corruption," Kael enters the war between Archivists, cults, and Monarch-class Grimoires capable of rewriting the world. But every answer he finds only leads to one terrifying truth: Kael once opened the Shadow Archive... and he is the reason the world collapsed. Now the grimoires are whispering again. The Monarch is returning. And the last line of the world is already being written. To save the future, Kael must walk back into the catastrophe he created- and rewrite the story that erased him. If it doesn't erase him again first. 🔥 Perfect for fans of: dark fantasy, cosmic horror, grim magic systems, emotional duos, tragic pasts, and post-apocalyptic mystery.

Drifting Embers {Magics Fanfiction/AU} Book 4 von ParadoxicalChaos

[DISCONTINUED - OLD AND OUTDATED] A beast in a mythological story has one sole purpose. One sole path of destiny which was given to it from birth. Provide an obstacle for the protagonist to sway them away from the road of certain doom, only for the beast to be slain and defeated in the name of rightful justice and heroism. But what if the beast was the protagonist of its own story? What if the brave human that everyone adored and sympathized for as the villain and a monster? They've been called beasts and monsters before. But this time, they shall strike out and show the world that it is their view that is twisted and demented. They will rise above the stereotypical conspiracies. They will start fires from the sparks of rumors. They are the heroes of their own story. A story not written in the books but in their hearts with nothing but the pen and ink of experiences. Of knowledge. Of conditioning. Of misunderstanding. ~The original Magics series belongs to @shadowed-savior/Fan_FictionGirl2. I'd advise reading those and Like a Fire Burns, Smoke and Ashes, and World Ablaze before reading this story, as many events that are mentioned are not included in this book. Read at your own risk~ -This story is rated Mature for violence, gore, psychological and physical torture, and themes that may be triggering for the audience. Nothing inappropriate, just lots of blood, some death, and traumatic experiences.-

Sharp - An Anthology in 25 Stories von DarrelLance3

A collection of twenty-five stories, 'Sharp' is based on a made-up subreddit from the website 'Reddit' called r/Sharp, a forum where people share stories either made up or real. Some stories are long, some stories are ones broken up into parts. All equally unbelievable. I am glad to experiment with different forms, and as much as I enjoyed writing it, I hope you enjoy reading this, recommendable with a text-to-speech reader. And I hope you will further enjoy art like this. --Me. (Obligatory Technicals: This project will publish in intervals of between 5-6 stories a week, with bigger stories being cut up and serve as stories in the slots. I will also be uploading this story on the site Royal Road, where I have an account and a profile of the same name, 'Denno Luciano,' profile number '805323.' Finally, if you disapprove of any instances where the content is AI-assisted, AI-edited, and AI-picture-filtered [where I take an already existing photo and use AI to add a filter for the sake of creative versatility and experimentation], especially with the stories Sharp 4, Sharp 5, Sharp 7, Sharp 15, and three other stories, please exit the book and block my account. No need for any transgressive, offensive and advantageous, attacks against me. If you don't like it, leave. Simple as that. And then... enjoy reading, people.)

Convenant: Mysteries untold von AuraSycnedGrant

‎--- ‎ ‎Prologue: When Time Bled ‎ ‎In the beginning, the world was silent. ‎ ‎The rivers had not yet carved the earth. The skies had not yet known the sun. All that existed was Time-endless, unbroken, untamed. ‎ ‎From that void, a figure stepped forth. Cloaked in eternity, crowned by shadows, he was the first to name himself Lord. The Lord of Time. ‎ ‎With a gesture, he unraveled nothingness into hours, minutes, seconds. With a breath, he bound stars to their paths, chained suns to their cycles, and shackled mortals to the fleeting measure of their days. ‎ ‎But even Time cannot reign without hunger. And so he reached beyond his dominion, seeking vessels in which to pour his power-creatures, mortals, children who might one day carry fragments of his eternity. ‎ ‎Most shattered beneath the weight. ‎ ‎One did not. ‎ ‎From the loins of man and the womb of woman, he planted a seed: an heir. A child of two worlds. Flesh and blood... and eternity. ‎ ‎Yet fate has always been cruel. ‎ ‎The mother, cast into the desolate Survival Lands, bore her son in exile. She fed him with her hands, shielded him with her body, and prayed he would never hear the ticking of the father's clock within his veins. ‎ ‎But the Lord of Time does not forget. ‎ ‎For though the world may bleed and the stars may crumble, every hour returns to him. Every path converges at his throne of broken hours. ‎ ‎And when the child of covenant rises, his steps shall echo across timelines, shattering bonds, forging pacts, and tearing open mysteries long untold. ‎ ‎The covenant has already been written. ‎The question is only this: ‎ ‎Will he break it-or be broken by it? ‎ ‎ ‎---

CATA-CLIMB von Robert-Liggins

[TV SCRIPT] After years of humanity eating away at it's own resources the United Nations collapsed throwing our world into turmoil, Famine and thirst ravaged forcing mankind into a new era of greed and virtue, Now bolstering up was a new beginning for us to face, No longer were we firmly placed at the top of the food chain we found ourselves the ones being hunted, Due to radical science and research across the globe, Viruses continued to uncontrollably spread mutating everything they came in contact with, Three of these viruses stood toppling the rest which would come to be known as The Rot, The Altered, and The Plagued, Survival and ignorance led us down a path of isolation only growing to further one's individual standpoint, We left control of our world to governments who turned their backs furthering personal ambition, Not preventing for what would happen to the masses in a calamity, As a result the Cataclysm hit changing our world forever, An anomaly between untested atomic experiments interfused with particle matter and energy caused a gaslight explosion simultaneously struck across the world, Mutating any living creature outside during this event, Drastically changing in ways unexplainable until witnessed in the flesh, As a result humanity was withered down to only twenty percent of its once dominant population, Strung out and cornered into colonisations after years of rebuilding we attempt to adapt rather then conquer, Surviving in this new reality we've been tested to outlast, Spread across the world which was we remain thinly divided, All which was known has now become scarce or deemed extinct, Humans now find themselves on the edge of a losing battle further suffering in this dark abyss we're forced to walk through, Adapting is key to thriving in this new cutthroat environment which we have been tasked to live
