Darkness is a universal force - drifting through worlds, time, and space without ever slowing. It feeds on the past, grows through the future, and destroys the worlds that cannot withstand it. In Pollenia, belief clashes with truth. Gods rise, gods fall, and mortals cling to their own versions of divinity. Human greed and selfishness fuel the darkness, creating reflections - echoes of choices, shadows of consequences. Every action splits into two halves, and even the darkest days have a reflection somewhere in the infinite multiverse. Souls that cannot return are carried to a being of immeasurable power. Her name is Echoflux, the Incarnation of Creation. She watches Pollenia. She watches every universe. She watches the omniverse itself. But this story is not only hers. Divines (Shingi) and Abyssal Demons stalk the worlds, feared by all who witness their power. They rarely fight each other, for both serve forces far older than gods. Cosmic scale is not the focus - not yet. But one day, four moons will rise and ignite the night. Comets will fall like burning wishes. Choose wisely, for the wrong wish may summon an elder god. Every world has its own fate: explore, fight, escape - or fall. Darkness always claims something. And somewhere within this vast cycle, a new journey begins. Neri Aurora Luxian steps into a story shaped by echoes - echoes of gods, echoes of choices, echoes of worlds dying and worlds reborn. The time for answers has not yet come. For now, we face the problem at hand. This is the Journey of Echoes.

Lange geht ein Game namens The Arena viral. Der Grund dafür ist: Die 5 besten Spieler werden im echten Leben in eine Arena gesperrt, wo sie Challenges meistern müssen, um Punkte zu gewinnen. Der Preis - 1 Million Euro Preisgeld. In der Arena hat es viele Kameras, da die Spieler zwei Stunden täglich im Fernsehen zu sehen sind. Doch die 5 Millionen Zuschauer sehen nicht alles. Geplant ist, dass die 5 nach einem Monat wieder in ihr normales Leben einsteigen können - einer von ihnen mit verdammt viel Geld. Jedoch merken die Spieler nach wenigen Tagen schon, dass es um viel mehr geht und sie nur zusammen wieder aus der Arena rauskommen werden.

In a land of sentient nature and dragon roars echoing across the sky, the kingdom Esari is at war. Prince Sage, a naturavis who can speak to plants, is second in line to the throne, but when an 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, ceaseless attempts at forging peace between rival kingdoms, and a deeper conspiracy lurking in the cracks of Esari, Sage is struggling to live up to his brother's title 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 peace 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, as wild dragons start to go missing and an unnatural death spreads through the forest, Sage isn't sure who else he can trust. ───── • ⋆⋅⸙⋅⋆ • ───── Status: Complete Story length: 120,000+ words

Book 2: The South Season of the South's Legacies As summer comes to an end, the start of college is right around the corner. For this crew, it's a whole new chapter, one that changes everything. With a stronger focus on their studies, future careers, and discovering who they truly are, old friendships begin to fade into memories while new ones take their place. Jacqueline G. York, confident, bold, and unapologetically bougie, lives life on her own terms. She refuses to let anyone stand in the way of her goals. Stepping into an unfamiliar environment, she embraces her independence for the first time, only to cross paths with people she never expected to see again. Eugene L. Savage is hardworking, grounded, and quietly resilient. He takes pride in caring for the women in his life, especially his mother, who raised him on her own. With little knowledge of his father, Eugene channels that absence into motivation, pushing himself toward success. But growth isn't easy-and in the process of becoming a man, he often finds himself battling internal struggles. Jacqueline and Eugene have been together for a few months, now entering their first semester at the same college. As they navigate life on their own, they quickly learn that this new chapter comes with defining moments-mistakes that shape them, achievements that build them, love that challenges them, and choices that can change everything. Their first semester won't just be about school, it will be about growth, unexpected turns, and the people who come in and out of their lives. Cover Credit: @TheUrbanRoyalty

Soooo ma Starsss hier lernen wir schreiben. Ne spaß wir üben um besser zu werden. Ich mach das dann so, dass ich immer eine Aufgabe geb, das wird so ungefähr ne Kurzgeschichte oder so was wir dann alle einmal schreiben und ihr könnt entweder ein Buch mit Ergebnissen machen, oder es mir schicken, dann mach ichs hier rein. Ihr habt immer eine Woche Zeit und dann liest sich jeder einmal alle Ergebnisse durch und gibt feedback, klar? Die Aufgaben werden nix schweres sein oki? Aber etwas, wo man vielleicht ein bisschen um die Ecke denken muss, wenn man es ordentlich (oder sehr gut) formulieren will. Ich werd euch immer (also zu jeder Aufgabe) ein paar Tipps geben, damit ihr nicht bei 0 anfangt, wenn ihr überlegt. Was ich damit bei mir verbessern will: - Charakter realistisch schreiben - Erkennbare Perspektivwechsel schreiben (die man nicht ansagen muss) - Szenen wie den Tod einer Person, Sucht, Panikattacken etc realistisch formulieren und so, dass der Leser mitfühlen kann - Szenen schreiben, bei denen Dinge ungesagt bleiben können, wobei der Leser die Intention trotzdem versteht - etc. etc. Alle sind willkommen mit zu machen (Ich mach auch mit) und ihr dürft auch nach beginn der Übungsphase noch einsteigen (Ich erwarte auch nicht, dass jeder Jede Challenge mit macht).
