Highfantasy Stories

Fear the dark. Bar the doors. Don't breathe a word. Wait for the Hooded Men to save you. The people of Nictaven live in fear of the night; governed by magic no one save a few can control, in a land plagued by demons and cannibal tribes, and isolated from all other worlds for centuries, they're right to. Only the Unspoken, a secretive guild of warriors linked with the land and its magic, provide any safety when darkness falls. For centuries, it has stayed like this. But in an abandoned crypt worlds away, Jordan Haverford is about to change that. It wasn't quite the holiday he had been hoping for. Plunged into a world where who you are and what you believe can kill you, a world of demons and knives in the dark and wars fought from behind the doors of the rich, Jordan's gentle Oxford upbringing isn't quite sufficient preparation. Instantly a pawn in a deadly game, separated from his sister and watched from the shadows by an assassin with a vendetta, he finds himself in the company of an Unspoken who has an uncanny knack for finding the Gifted - and Jordan can't seem to get rid of him.

For centuries, humanity battled its own demons-war, destruction, the ever-present shadow of extinction. But against all odds, it endured. Nations united, wounds healed, and a single banner rose above the entire Earth: United Earth Government and later the United Federation of Planets. By the year 2288, humanity had transformed from a fractured species into a galactic civilization. The Federation stretched across the stars, its influence reaching every corner of the Milky Way. It was an era of peace, progress, and unmatched technological triumph. And yet... they were alone. No matter how far their ships traveled or how many worlds they surveyed, there was no sign of other intelligent life. The universe vast, ancient, and beautiful remained eerily silent. Theories once whispered in academic circles, the "Great Filter," the "Rare Earth" now loomed large and terrifying. Was intelligence a cosmic accident? Was humanity the only one to make it this far? Then, everything changed. On the eve of humanity's historic voyage to Andromeda (M31). As their science vessel prepared for its journey across 2.6 million light years, something unprecedented occurred. In a flash, space itself seemed to twist and fold, as the Milky Way merged with another galaxy in instant, one far larger and older than their own. Now, in this strange, limitless frontier, humanity's greatest adventure was only just beginning. Would they adapt and survive, or uncover something beyond their wildest understanding? Only time would reveal the truth... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heavily influenced by Nihonkoku Shoukan by Minorou, Anime GATE and various nation summoned novels here in wattpad.

Wandering but not lost, crisis manager and logistician, flameborn, anointed of the star, prey of the Wild Hunt, friend of a daemon, an emissary of Eden, and an alien cat - all this is Lex. He finds himself in a ringworld, right in the center of a tightening political knot. Will he be able to study the system, navigate this strange world, and protect his friends and his new home without going mad? Of course he can. Where have you ever seen a LitRPG where the hero loses halfway through? What else is here that couldn't be seamlessly integrated into the main blurb: Part of my book universe. Action. A biome inspired by the mythologies of England, Ireland, and Scotland. A flexible role-playing system closer to single-player RPGs. Have you ever heard of an attribute matrix? Thick humor with tiny hints of drama. Literary references. There are many mysteries, but I know most of the answers, and the ones I don't, I'll find along the way. Very long, judging by the paсing and my plans.

In the Feywild city of Vaer'Telan, life once moved in harmony with magic-bright festivals, ancient forests, and courts that believed themselves eternal. Rohan, a skilled hunter, and Veyra, a gifted healer, were part of that balance. When they announced the coming birth of their first child, the forest rejoiced with them. But the Feywild remembers what its people try to forget. Every thousand years, something stirs-a force tied not to crowns or gods, but to birth itself. A presence capable of weakening magic, bending the boundaries between realms, and unraveling power that has stood unchallenged for ages. The truth is buried in whispers, known only to a few, never spoken aloud. Until the night Veyra gives birth to twins. Dyo is born beneath a calm sky, unnoticed by fate. Bina follows-and the sun turns black. Frost sweeps the city. Magic falters. For one breathless moment, the world leans toward collapse. Then the sky rights itself, the cold retreats, and silence falls. But the message is unmistakable. The Black Sun has returned. Fear spreads faster than truth. The ruling Fey courts move swiftly, not to understand-but to erase. Rohan and Veyra are forced to flee their home, hunted for a child who does not yet know what she is, and a son who will one day understand far too much. To survive, they make an impossible choice-one that hides Bina from her destiny, fractures their lives, and condemns them to a future of running, secrecy, and sacrifice. Years later, in a quiet town far from the Feywild, Bina grows as a joyful, curious child with no memory of the sun that once went dark for her. Dyo grows beside her, carrying the weight of what was lost, what is hidden, and what may yet come. But magic is thinning. Old enemies are listening. And the Black Sun does not need to be understood to be feared. Destiny is patient. And this time, it is no longer content to wait.
