In a land of sentient nature and dragons blotting out the sky, the kingdom Esari is at war. Prince Sage is second in line to the throne, but when a rogue accident sends his elder brother and his dragon falling to their deaths, Sage has no choice but to accept the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. Between forced betrothals and ceaseless attempts at forging peace between rival kingdoms, Sage is struggling to live up to his brother's title as next in line to the Esarian throne whilst grappling with an undeniable yet hopeless attraction towards the dragon-riding soldier Everett. Everett has been close friends with Sage and his elder brother Eris since they were children. But the tragedy of Eris' loss strikes the Esarian kingdom hard, and when Sage can only find solace in Everett's company, the soldier cannot deny his own attraction for the prince. Duty and honour are pulling Sage and Everett in different directions, and their bond isn't meant to last. The brightest flames burn the fastest, and the tallest trees fall the furthest. And yet, with a deeper conspiracy lurking in the cracks of the Esarian kingdom, Sage isn't sure who else he can trust. ───── • ⋆⋅⸙⋅⋆ • ───── Status: Ongoing Story length: TBC

In a world where love was never simple, their lives were already tied by invisible threads of pain, loyalty, and broken trust. She was young, emotional, and quietly drowning in feelings she never knew how to express. He was older, colder, and dangerous in the way he controlled every emotion except the one he refused to accept - love. What was supposed to be distance turned into connection. What was meant to stay forbidden turned into obsession. And what started as protection slowly blurred into something neither of them could define anymore. Between rivalry, friendship, and family ties... hearts began to cross boundaries they were never supposed to cross. Because some feelings don't ask for permission. They just happen. And when they do... everything changes.

At Hachin, competition is everything. With a ruthless ranking system now in place, students and entire classes are pitted against one another for rewards, status, and survival. One misstep could mean expulsion. As mind games unfold and tensions rise, alliances are formed, betrayals are inevitable, and trust becomes a dangerous gamble. In this battlefield of a school, Marcus must decide whether to rely on others or himself-and ask the question: How far do you go to win... when losing means disappearing? ARC 3 'RANKING ARC' - NEW CHAPTERS EVERY FRIDAY AT 17:00 GMT.

A lot changes when creation itself is expected to kneel before you. For a Goddess, existence is not a choice. It is a burden. A sentence. A crown forged from pain. Echoflux knows suffering better than any being alive - not because she is divine, but because she wasn't always. Once, she was betrayed. Once, she was powerless. Once, she was nothing. Now, her judgment shapes reality. If Echoflux deems something right, then it is right. If she deems it wrong, then it is wrong. That is the law of existence - the cycle of a life where death does not apply. Across collapsing dimensions, dying worlds, and realms stripped of their spark, she walks alone. Through wars no mortal mind could comprehend. Through bravery and arrogance that end in blood. Through diplomacy that borders on madness. Families fracture. Kingdoms fall. Creation trembles. And somewhere in the chaos, a question lingers: What does a Goddess owe to the world that once abandoned her? But it doesn't matter she's survived many things they've tried everything already try to rewrite her that doesn't work. You see her as a simple line on a piece of paper to erase that doesn't work. As long as you have a physical or none physical body you can be erased as long as you can see, breath, walk, talk, fly, move or feel you can be erased. The world is under her jurisdiction as long as you can see, feel or even touch her as long as you know she's their your life, your existence is in the palm of her hands. Echoflux- Fiction does not exist this isn't a story it's a life not a story I am not a piece of fiction on a paper and if you see me if you even think of me as so you can and will be erased. Only time will tell. This is Journey Of Echoes. Never mess with the incarnation of creation. I will be posting this story on Royal Road.

Something is wrong with reality. They call it the SIGNAL. It interrupts thoughts, rewrites time, swaps bodies, and breaks the rules of the world without warning. No one knows where it comes from - or why it chooses certain people. This is not a story. It is a collection of 30 writing challenges inspired by these anomalies. Each chapter presents a strange situation, and you turn it into your own story. But there is one rule: Every story must include: SIGNAL ACTIVE No winners. No limits. Just writers exploring broken realities... one prompt at a time. And if you start noticing the Signal outside of these pages... it's probably nothing.
