***This is the second draft of The Welde Series.***

Legends of The Welde Book One
  
  In a world where mythical beasts and ancient gods and demons are a reality, several Guilds scattered across the lands of Vesper protect the people. But it was not always done like this. One of these Guilds, the secluded Mages' Guild located in the Venusian Wastes, is rocked by the growing presence of an ancient evil who corrupts any who near it. The need for a different form of evil has risen and the eccentric Arch Mage has given the mission of finding and retrieving this evil to Alina, a calming Erudin, as well as the light-hearted Knight Quillish, his Rogue ward Theriac, and the wise Sorcerer Master Clypse.
  
  With this in mind they are sent to find a strange man who may be the last of the Welde, who are specialized hunters brought about through unholy alchemy on certain individuals.



Legends of The Welde Book Two

Six months have passed and the Welde has become the sought-after hero of the Mages' Guild.

Become the Strongest Master With a Genius Student by VheenaD
62 parts Ongoing
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.

In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.

31 parts Complete
In the mystical land of Elysium, where magic weaves through every leaf and whispers secrets to the wind, a darkness begins to stir. For centuries, the balance between light and shadow has been maintained by the guardians of Elysium, a group of powerful sorcerers sworn to protect the realm from evil. But when a long-forgotten prophecy resurfaces, foretelling the rise of a malevolent force known only as the shadow, the fate of Elysium hangs in the balance. As whispers of dark omens spread like wildfire, a young orphan named Lyra finds herself thrust into a world of magic and danger. With nothing but a mysterious amulet and her wits to guide her, Lyra embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind the prophecy and stop the shadow from consuming the realm. Along the way, she allies herself with a ragtag group of misfits: a brooding warrior with a haunted past, a cunning thief with a heart of gold, and a wise old sage with secrets of his own. Together, they must navigate treacherous forests, ancient ruins, and deadly creatures as they race against time to thwart the shadow's sinister plans. But as the darkness closes in around them, Lyra discovers that the true power to save Elysium lies within herself - if only she can unlock it in time. Filled with breathtaking magic, epic battles, and unforgettable characters, "The Chronicles of Elysium: The Shadow's Embrace" is a spellbinding tale of courage, friendship, and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of darkness.
Another Stupid Spell by billricardi
20 parts Complete
Another Stupid Spell is a first person high fantasy novel, the likes of which hasn't been seen in 60 years. The tone and vocabulary of the story shifts as our narrator, Sorch the orc, finds ways to enhance his intelligence. You get to grow as Sorch grows, learn as he learns, and share his most intimate thoughts. Sorch is an orc mage in a world where orcs are cursed with stupidity every time they cast a spell. The only spell he can safely cast is Enhance Intelligence, which boosts his IQ for a fraction of a second before the curse drains it all away again. Normally casting such a spell would be pointless, but Sorch's tribe has found a way to benefit. Magic that is cast near a mysterious artefact called the 'Voodoo Engine' causes invisible hands to appear, and these hands get work done for his tribe. Sorch is a slave to the Voodoo Engine, casting a single spell over and over again to avoid being beaten by the chief's warrior caste. While foraging for food on one fateful night, our hero happens upon two human mages who are in big trouble. He saves their lives, and in return they give him an amulet that will make his life easier. Unbeknownst to the humans, their gift grants Sorch the power to break the cycle of intelligence drain and physical abuse. With the help of his friend and mentor, Shaman, Sorch becomes a real mage. Sorch leaves his swamp and embarks on a series of incredibly exciting and dangerous adventures. During his travels he encounters horrible injury, magical treasures, love, snow, university admissions tests, a plot against the Kingdom, and then of course he saves the world. Or does he? Be prepared to rethink everything you know about thinking. If your own intelligence was the fuel that your magic ran on, how brightly would you dare to burn?

Threads Of Fate

47 parts Ongoing

Reality is shifting. And someone knows the truth. When three thieves steal an old book from a noble's archive, they expect gold, not trouble. But the book is anything but ordinary-its pages rewrite themselves, whispering of events that never happened... or ones that no longer exist. As the world around them shifts in ways they can't explain, one thing becomes clear: nothing is set in stone. Whispers of power, unseen forces, and a figure lurking in the shadows all point to a deeper mystery-one that could unravel reality itself. And someone,somewhere, is watching. Some stories change the world. Some erase it entirely.
