"To avenge the past... he must become the very thing he fears." In the fractured world of Akaplini, strength is law, mercy is weakness, and power alone decides who lives... and who disappears into history. But beneath the surface of this war-torn world, a name begins to echo in whispers: Nemjiro. ⸻ Once an innocent child, Nemjiro's life was shattered the night his entire family was slaughtered before his eyes by a mysterious warrior... a moment that carved vengeance deep into his soul. He was left with nothing. No home. No family. No future. Only a vow. 👉 Kill the man responsible. 👉 Burn the system that protected him. 👉 Rebuild the world from its ashes. ⸻ But Nemjiro is not just a survivor... He is a vessel. Within him sleeps a forbidden and ancient force- Sotenkigo - a terrifying dual power that binds two divine beings: 🦁 The Lion God 🐉 The Dragon Goddess A power not meant to be controlled... ...but to destroy. ⸻ Years later, Nemjiro rises from the shadows as the hidden leader of Bushinro, a secret warrior organization operating across Akaplini. Silently. Strategically. Relentlessly. Gathering strength in the darkness while the world believes it remains at peace. ⸻ But something is stirring. A name older than fear begins to move again... Zakanbun - The First Seven. An elite group of warriors so powerful, they are said to stand at the peak of existence itself. And as their presence resurfaces... so does the truth Nemjiro has been avoiding: ⸻ ⚠️ This isn't just a war. ⚠️ This isn't just revenge. ⚠️ And Nemjiro... is not just a warrior. ⸻ He is the key. The balance between worlds. The storm that will either bring salvation... -or absolute annihilation.

She was born with a crown, raised in luxury, and known for her fire-bold, reckless, and anything but obedient. Princess Aurelia has never needed anyone to watch over her... until her defiance forces the king's hand. He is the kingdom's most trusted knight. Loyal, silent, deadly-and now, bound by duty to guard the one person who refuses to be guarded. He swore an oath to protect her, not love her. She swore she'd never let him in. But when shadows rise within the palace walls, and loyalty is tested beyond the blade, the line between duty and desire begins to blur. He carries a sword at her side, but never a crown on his head. Because some hearts are not meant to be held-only protected.

An existence revered even by gods themselves grows bored-and decides to retire. After stepping away from divinity, he is reborn as Wright, a mortal in a fragile fantasy world. Inspired by the slow, peaceful lives he once read about in manga, Wright sets out to enjoy an otherworldly retirement: a small house in the forest, a garden to tend, good food to eat, and absolutely zero responsibility for the fate of reality. Or at least, that's the plan. This is the story of the quiet, everyday life of a manga-obsessed former god-trying to live slowly in a world that can't quite handle him.

"Mooooorrrrrrrreeeeeeee, this book is like air, i need it!" @noromance101 "These chapters are written BEAUTIFULLY! You are, without a doubt, my favorite writer on this site. " @nagykt "Reading this feeds my soul." @Yrthraethra Sixteen-year-old Mirra can see people's memories. She is a Shadow Weaver, one of the outlawed, glitter-eyed race feared in her land and forced into brutal slavery as children. She and her brother Kel have escaped their fate by hiding near the frozen mountains. But when bounty hunters snatch Kel, Mirra injured and unable to track long distances will lose him unless she gives herself up to his captors. As as a Shadow Weaver who's survived childhood and whose golden-flecked irises have faded, concealing her talent, Mirra's own value is priceless on the black-market. Taken to a lawless town in the northern territories, Mirra convinces her captors to sell her to a mysterious young man destined for the same province as the officer who has bought her brother. The young man is the Kingdom's missing Prince, feared dead after his escort was attacked on an expedition. He has been in hiding, waiting for a Shadow Weaver whose skill he can use to discover who ordered his assassination. But before he will risk breaking his father's law and taking Mirra to the royal court, he must test her talent and her ability to hide it.

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.

"I love you," Jack smiled. They looked at each other for what felt like a decade. "...No. No you don't." Willow rolled her eyes. "It seemed like the part of our fight where I should say it," he smirked, only making her anger rise. "Why are you doing this?" His expression faltered for a second as he heard the fear in her voice. "Treating me like this? Do you hate me or something? Or do you just not care if I live or die?" His eyes widened briefly before he shook his head. "I don't hate you, or want you to die. But I can't like you either. Humans live a short life, I live forever." He paused, taking a breath. "I can't let myself get attached to someone that will just die on me, or put you in danger," Jack sighed, scratching his neck. Something in his voice made Willow believe this wasn't his words, but rather, words he had been told. When Willow made a deal with a reaper to save her little brother, she never expected to end up as one's bloodbag. Or, as Jack likes to call her, 𝙋𝙚𝙩. Join Willow on her journey as she discovers the hidden supernatural world that has been right under her nose for longer than she even remembers. One where love is forbidden and can get you killed. And pray to Death for her soul, because 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯, she's gonna need it. "𝑨 𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆." 𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍. "𝑰𝒇 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉," 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅, 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆, "𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒉."

There are guardians even in Middle-earth, though no song or scroll names them. The Hanu walk unseen-keepers of chaos and order, bound by oaths older than the Valar themselves. Their shield is secrecy; their duty, eternal. Few know their presence. Fewer still understand their burden. As the Fellowship gathers and the Shadow grows, another story moves quietly alongside. The Guardian of Balance does not stand in councils nor lead in battle-but walks the spaces in between, where choice and consequence bend unseen. Yet even in the quiet between great deeds, lives are changed in ways no history ever records. Bonds form. Paths entwine. And what begins as a journey beside the great tale becomes something far more personal-shaped as much by connection as by fate. This is a tale of parallel paths: a hidden watcher bound to Middle-earth, whose silent influence brushes against the great journey, though her name will never be written in the Red Book. 📌 A crossover of Tolkien's legendarium and the Hanu Chronicles-not a retelling, but a parallel myth unfolding in the quiet between great deeds. ✧ Slow burn | Found family | Character-driven | Canon-adjacent | Romance

Aiden Joseph Walker, your regular all-American teen from Tucson, Arizona, gets the fright of his life when a strange looking canine lures him out into his backyard. That's when a strange ball of black and red flames collides with him. This ball isn't a ball of flames but magic-the Chaos Magic. Aiden is given the news by a talking coyote and meets six Ardenari (Highest form of elves), the Guardians of Verdenari along with the last Ályseian, that he now holds the strongest and unpredictable magic in existence. He doesn't take the news very well-and the Guardians themselves weren't expecting the holder to be a thirteen-year-old. But they waited almost 110 years for this moment. For his own safety and protection, he's put under the care of a half-human, half-elf named Alïa Rivenelric who's come from a very long line of mentors who have trained and protected the Chaos Bearers from evil until they are fully ready. But lurking in the mist are those who want the magic all for themselves. Renegado's who work for Corrupted Mages and those controlled by Myrka will do anything to capture the Chaos. Alïa needs to keep Aiden safe while he learns to control his powers, but that won't be easy. And Aiden needs to decide if this new way of life is worth the price of loss and pain.

Velora Academy was meant to unite the realm. Light and shadow. Magic and legacy. But beneath its towers, something older is waking. And she was never meant to survive it. Isabella Thornevale arrives at the academy with fading power and too many watching eyes. They whisper about her. Doubt her. But something inside her is changing. And the one person who's never looked twice at anyone, is now the only one looking at her like he sees everything. In a school full of secrets, trials, and divided loyalties, she'll have to choose: obey the light... or listen to the dark. He was made of shadow. She was born in light. Together, they might just rewrite fate.

"When flame bends to tide, Arveth is born." In the beginning, the Twelve Lands were held in the grace of Maadhi, the Spirit of Dharma. But peace is a fragile anchor when weighed against a monster's hunger for power. When the Sovereign shattered the Spirit, four elemental shards-Aapo, Thejo, Vayo, and Patavi-were scattered across the sky, falling as stars and rising as children with no memory of the past. Since that day, the hunt has never ended. For sixteen years, the Sovereign has searched the horizon for the pieces of his lost anchor. Arvani is a princess of the coast who remembers only the terrifying sensation of falling. Raveth is the Prince of Embers, a walking volcano raised to be the Sovereign's deadliest weapon. One is the tide; the other is the flame. In a world built on a tyrant's lies, can the broken shards find their way back to the Source? When hearts are bound by secrets, will love be a burden too heavy to carry, or the only power strong enough to mend what was broken? Witness the clash of love, guilt, and the elements in this epic tale of the Twelve Lands.

In a world where the supernatural is natural, Magic flows like Blood in the Continent of Alba, a time where the Gods have been distant and missing, leaving Humanity to their own devices, some meddle in Human Affairs, others are beyond that. Across fractured kingdoms and ancient cultures, every race fights to survive or to ascend. But something far older walks among them. A Runeslayer of no Renown. An undead being, stripped of light and purpose wanders the continent. Neither alive nor truly dead, he is a relic of a forgotten sin, bound to power he does not fully understand. His body bears runes etched into his very soul... symbols of destruction, of memory, of something that should never have been awakened. Awake at an odd time.

Dragons crave power above all else. And there is only one thing they fear... losing it. The Firtong clan stands at its zenith. Rival clans lie broken, rebellions have been extinguished, and dissent is nothing more than ash. But when a cunning human king dares to rise against their rule, the foundations beneath the Fire Throne shift. Tayron is an outcast, young, unproven, and one misstep away from capital punishment. Sent alongside his brother to crush the growing threat, he must navigate not only the dangers of a defiant human realm, but the far deadlier intrigues of his own kind. In a world where weakness means death and loyalty is as fragile as an old scale, Tayron must outthink enemies on all sides and seize the power denied to him... or be consumed by it.

At War With The Gods: Among the Ancients is a dramatized retelling of events unfolding in the Travian Kingdoms browser game, based on the ongoing COM5 server that began on March 10, 2026. Each chapter will be written and updated in real-time, following the war as it happens-or rather, as it might have happened through the eyes of an imaginative author. The pacing is unpredictable, much like war itself. Some updates may come quickly, driven by daily skirmishes and shifting alliances. Others may take weeks or even months, waiting for the right moment when tension builds, drama escalates, and a story worth telling emerges from the ashes of battle. This is not a guide, a strategy manual, or a direct chronicle of game mechanics. It is a story born from imagination-a mythic lens placed over pixels and timers, turning farms into kingdoms, players into gods, and a browser game into an epic of forgotten constellations and risen ancients. What you hold is history as it should have been written. Through the eyes of Eriu, witness the war.

[This is sorta related to my original Underlock story, it's just another universe where the Underlock prison is for the kids of super-powered individuals and those who break the law. But this is different, and that story wasn't finished because I lost its notes. So if you don't remember it, it's fine, this is a completely different story. Underlock remains, as does its victims.]

In a world ruled by Gods, where dominions govern the very forces of existence, power decides who is seen... and who is forgotten. At the height of this order stand the Great Houses, worshipped as divine, their authority absolute. Beneath them move beings of light and shadow, feared and revered alike, shaping the world through judgment and unseen influence. Below them stand those who wield knowledge, those who build and sustain the world, and finally the many who live beneath it all, while at the very bottom are the Forsaken, those the world has already cast aside. Once, seven great dominions stood in balance, and at their centre was Aethra, the Dominion of Eternity, the force that bound all things together. When Aethra fell, the world did not break, it adapted, hardened, and continued without its centre. Lewa is born into that world, into a life that should have passed unnoticed, yet something about her does not move in step with everything around her. Moments linger. Silence bends. Time itself seems to hesitate in her presence, as though something forgotten still recognises her. Then her world is erased. In a matter of moments, her home, her family, and everything she knows are reduced to ash. Yet when nothing should remain, she does. And in that silence, she makes a choice, she reaches for something still alive and refuses to let it go. That choice carries her forward, but so does something far older, something tied to what the world lost when Aethra fell. As her path unfolds, she crosses others who do not belong within the system that governs everything, each carrying a force the world no longer understands. Together, they are not balance, but disruption, and the world begins to shift around them. Because Eternity did not die. It waited. And now, through her, it is returning.
