Synopsis:... more>>

In the shadow of the Umbras curse, humanity teeters on the brink of uncertainty. The Fire draws closer, casting its ominous shadow over the world. Indra and Umbran energies, three emerge as beacons of resilience. The Risen embodies hope and enlightenment; The Fallen seek hidden truths. In contrast, the Umbral, shrouded in secrecy, prepares for doom. Bound by blood’s resonance with primal forces, humanity braces for trials.

Caelain, a young man determined to unravel the mysteries surrounding his heritage, set off on a journey to the renowned capital city. His goal: to participate in the annual blood exams that would grant him a blood blessing.

Along the way, Caelain discovered from his brother: the existence of a strange box bequeathed to him by his late father. This box, sealed with an enigmatic magic, held secrets that intrigued and puzzled Caelain.

Driven by curiosity and a newfound sense of purpose, Caelain embarked on his quest not only to partake in the blood exams but also to uncover the hidden desires his father had entrusted to him.

As Caelain delved deeper into his family's history, he unearthed startling revelations that challenged his understanding of his own bloodline.

Now faced with a pivotal decision, will Caelain seize this opportunity to uncover the truth his father left behind, or will he succumb to the weight of destiny, forever bound by the ties of fate? <<less

Aiden finally gave in to the messages barraging his phone after letting out a grunt of annoyance. With a dazed look, he let his hand fumble around the nightstand, eventually holding his phone after a few tries and opened it to numerous messages on the group from his friends.... more>>

Eyes still half closed, he went through the messages, “Look at the night, the moon looks so red!” “The moon is beautiful today!” “The night sky is breathtaking, look outside your window!” “There’s no way you want to miss the moon today!” Due to his habit of sleeping in complete darkness, with curtains closed, he didn’t, on instinct, immediately turn around to look outside the window near his bed, which caused his gaze to linger around longer to find a letter on the nightstand.

Huh? I don’t remember placing anything else here?

When he held the letter though, a symbol embossed on it immediately caught his attention. It was of a secret society he made along with his friends when they were kids. Friends who had one by one disappeared from his life. He opened it to find only a single piece of paper, and some liquid dripping on his palm.

Quickly transitioning to a sitting posture while he grasped the paper in one hand, he turned on the lamp with the other. His eyes widened, pupils dilating, as he looked at the hand holding the paper, which soon began shaking as dark red liquid kept sliding off the paper to stain his hand.

Is it blood?

Containing his fear, he concentrated his gaze onto the paper which had some messy words written over it with the same liquid.

“Don’t look at the moon!”

'An ill-fated prince marked for death, a trickster imprisoned by the gods...together, they might gain the strength to change their ill fate.' ... more>>

Bram of House Attilan is a prince with an ill fate. For in a land where sorcery is the dominant force, a young man cursed with a body lacking talent for even basic spells is scorned by nobles and commoners alike. Fortunately for Bram, as a child of the Sovereign who rules the Atlan Imperium, even an ‘Ill-Fated Prince’ is given a chance to prove his worth…and Bram means to do just that.

Believing that a talentless man can achieve success by gathering talented people to work under him, Bram, the newly appointed governor of Lotharin, one of the twelve kingdoms that make up the imperium, devises an ingenious plot to use a 'self-improvement system' called the ‘Loom’ to develop the talented people his kingdom needs.

Such an undertaking will require the aid of a master trickster—one powerful enough to help Bram kidnap humans from a world called Earth to enlist their expertise in performing the greatest trick ever sold; hoodwinking their fellow Earthers into believing they’re playing a videogame while they work to solve the many troubles plaguing Bram’s kingdom, thus giving him the talents he needs to make Lotharin great again...and finally prove himself a worthy prince.

The world of Gods is calling.... more>>

The land of Maladoneae was built on the back of Faith. Only through worship and putting your life on the line for the Gods could you hold power in your hands, earn Blessings and Level up.

Leonidas had no Faith in the Gods.

Sitting on his knees, being forced to dig up and move his own mother's grave, unable to afford the land, his hearts burned with a fiery hatred for the world.

He just needed one chance, just one lucky opportunity in this wholly unlucky life of his, just a single fleeting strand of hope...

Unfortunately, such lucky opportunities didn't come without a price.

To be a Fallen Apostle in the Era of Gods was to be an enemy of the world.

=========

What to expect?

> Chapter everyday
>The Fallen Apostle world is one where Apostles are the servants of Gods. They complete missions to earn Blessings and Blessings allow them to Level up. There are no stats, so it's more gamelit than litrpg
>There will be small harem. I've already written almost 500k words of this story and to this point, there are only two loves interests, so, obviously, not every mentioned woman just throws themselves at the mc, nor does he chase them all. They are fleshed out, and three-dimensional, though I am, of course, biased.
>This novel will touch upon some dark themes, though not gratuitously
>Expect an intelligent, though sometimes immature mc. He does start the story in his very late teens, so I believe this is age appropriate. <<less
