History has always belonged to those who remained to write it. It remembers heroes and villains, victories and betrayals, but rarely everything that came before. The choices no one noticed. The mistakes no one understood. The moments that changed everything long before anyone realised the story had already begun. Because sometimes the truth is not hidden. Sometimes it is simply forgotten. The stories remembered the prince. They remembered the chosen girl of light. They remembered the villainess who was destined to fall. They never knew what was left unwritten. Beyond the capital lay forgotten kingdoms, ancient forests untouched for centuries, creatures lost to time, and a world far greater than any story could contain. A world where magic can create wonders or leave scars, where monsters gather for reasons no one understands, and every answer only reveals how many questions were never asked. Some endings were never written. Some stories refuse to stay the way they were told.

No one speaks his name unless they are prepared to share his punishment. Isolde Veyne should be the last person to save him. Her family used her as a political offering. Alaric rejected her, placed her beneath his command in the Veiled Order, and left her with ten years of humiliation she never forgot. But when a dying friend begs her to find him, Isolde enters the Ashenmoor alone, armed with a forbidden tracking mark, old resentment, and the kind of survival skills court ladies are not supposed to have. She finds Alaric alive. Barely. Now she has forty days to keep a ruined enemy breathing long enough to escape a forest built to kill them both. But the deeper Isolde searches for the truth behind his fall, the more she realizes his betrayal may not be what the court claimed, and saving the Lord Commander may pull her into a war that began long before either of them understood their parts in it. A slow-burn romantic fantasy about enemies bound by survival, court betrayal, forbidden magic, and a woman who refuses to be anyone's sacrifice.

A story of students facing challenges all throughout the school year

Book I: The First Flame In a world divided into thirteen kingdoms, peace is nothing more than a memory buried beneath ash and blood. The West rules through crowns and conquest - a realm of marble cities, golden politics, and a king who once chose power over love. King Aldric Aurelian has spent decades building an empire that bends kingdoms to his will... but the past he buried is beginning to breathe again. Far beyond the walls of the West, the East survives in shadow and instinct - where forests swallow kingdoms whole and the moon decides who is worthy to lead. There, Kael Draven, the feared Lycan King, rules not with mercy or politics, but with instinct, loyalty, and the silent threat of something far more ancient than man. And in the forgotten South, where old African kingdoms once stood before betrayal and collapse, a secret survives in exile - a bloodline the world believed was erased. A girl raised on a quiet farm. A girl who does not yet know her name carries the weight of empires. Zariah Aurelian has never belonged anywhere. Until the sky burns. When the ancient dragon Aziraa breaks centuries of silence and chooses a human rider, the world fractures. Dragons, once reduced to myth, begin to stir again - and every kingdom remembers why they feared fire in the first place. Taken from her life and thrust into a war she never asked for, Zariah becomes the center of an ancient prophecy - one that ties dragons, wolves, and thrones together in a fate no kingdom can escape.

He was sent to save a kingdom. She was sent to make sure he never arrived. Marrick walks the long road to Aurora carrying his fallen king's last hope - and a presence shadows him from the dark the whole way. When he finally catches her, he knows exactly what she is: a soldier of the shadow realm. He lets her stay anyway, telling himself she came because she wanted to. Mara came to kill him. She just can't seem to do it. As exhaustion wears down their guard and a dying world unspools around them, two people who have no word for what they're feeling fall toward each other on a road that can only end one way - at a gate, in the light, where the truth she's been hiding will finally be torn into the open. A slow-burn fantasy about light, memory, and the cost of coming toward the warmth.

Hello, this is my notebook for short stories and lore for my setting I'm making, once I finish, I'll start working on prototype stories very soon, for now, welcome to my setting and I hope you enjoy it.

Adventuring has never come easily to Nihil. As a celestial-born aasimar raised in a temple dedicated to nine death gods, he was raised to believe the Nine would call on him for a great purpose. When he is sent on a pilgrimage across the Material Plane, he finds his gods silent to his prayers. As other entities vie for his attention, his journey is upended by revelations and a tumble into the Abyss, the home of demons. Stuck in the Outer Planes, Nihil gathers a party of unusual allies as they spiral their way through dangerous realms, pursued by the ghosts of Nihil's past, present, and future. ********* DISCLAIMER: Though I as the writer want this to appeal to more fantasy/scifi readers than just D&D fans, the story piggybacks heavily on official D&D lore from all corners of the D&D multiverse. While Nihil is an original character and I take liberties with some worldbuilding, the worlds are not mine, nor are some of the names and faces that pop up throughout.
