Eldridge, a wanderer across realms, pieced together the delicate balance between immortality as a both a blessing and a curse. Unwilling to accept this, he distorted his own path, leading to his unexpected transformation into a Cursed Artifact.... more>>

With an end to the prologue that was his human existence, he accepted a new identity: Apollyon. As he ascended, countless souls were melted and recast, but his new form still had shackles of its own, and they demanded payment. Apollyon needed them to bear the great karma of his Path towards [Detachment] - the only true unfettered immortality he recognized.

It was a good thing, then, that mortals often sacrificed themselves for a myriad of petty reasons.

As the choices of Apollyon’s wielders reshaped the destinies of those around them, so too did the cursed artifact they accepted affect them. Only, could they bear this pact and accomplish their wishes before the weight of the curse became too much?

Expanded Synopsis:
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chased after immortality rarely ended with happy endings. They either came to terms with their limitations, gave up, and returned to a life of mundanity or faced a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter was often the worse fate, as they came to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained.

Ultimately, the common thread in all these stories was that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. Time and again, people either realized this early and turned back, or pressed forward, doomed to inevitably face the consequences of their choice.

Throughout Eldridge’s travels across countless worlds, nothing had contradicted this saying yet. Every pathway had shackles of its own. To ambitious mortals on the ground, they brought the skies high above down to the earth, leveling the playing field. With luck and determination, they too could become the heaven others looked up to. And, with time, they too would be replaced. After all, what fun was a game if the pieces stayed stagnant over the eons?

It was thanks to this fundamental, foundational law that the determined few were able to defy their fate and achieve immortality for themselves.

Eldridge’s path didn’t break this trend. In fact, his shackles were more binding and restrictive than most. However, he didn’t see it that way.

On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, its feeble form remolded into a Cursed Artifact, cursed by the resentment of a world. All of this, however, was secondary to the fact that his plan had succeeded. An artifact, a weapon, was eternal, after all.

As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload it to someone else? Mortals threw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in times of desperation.

Someone would eventually be willing to foot the bill. Most would, if given the chance. The bait was far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge - all were at their fingertips, if only they said “yes”. Though their meager life alone might not have been enough to bear the weight of all those shackles, what were mortals if not numerous?

Apollyon was very willing to help any lost souls; his kindness and generosity knew no bounds. His help extended to anyone or anything, rich or poor, weak or strong. It did not matter. Well, if they sacrificed everything of theirs in return just as generously, of course. <<less

Emperor Peleus of Macaria, after years of war, defeats the Trabakondai barbarians and brings home their leader, Shirrin the Witch-Queen, as his slave. But what he couldn't possibly know is that this was all part of Shirrin's plan. Twelve years ago, Peleus betrayed her, stealing everything that was hers and leaving her for dead. But now, with vast magical power and over a decade of scheming at her back, Shirrin is ready to take her revenge, by any means necessary. But her goal isn't just to depose Peleus; she won't be satisfied until his entire Empire has burned to the ground.... more>>

A dark fantasy revenge story, heavily inspired by The Count of Monte Cristo, Bladethorn uses a similar tone to my previous novel, The Chained Flame. There is nobody and nothing who Shirrin will not manipulate to bring Peleus to his knees. The question is: is it worth it? <<less

Ivan, once an ordinary student with a craving for instant ramen and procrastination, found himself reborn (of sorts) in a world ripped straight out of a fantasy novel. The good news? He could summon anything from his old world—a cozy armchair, a life-saving bottle of ketchup, or even a cute top hat (because why not?). his powers are hilariously unbalanced, and his character sheet looked like a blank page ripped from a forgotten notebook. Strength? Zero. Dexterity? Zero. Stamina?... more>>

But hey, at least he wasn't useless. Ivan could, in theory, summon weapons of mass destruction. The real challenge wasn't raining down fire and rocket-propelled grenades (though that was an option); it was surviving in a world filled with orcs, mages, and creatures with names you couldn't pronounce—all while his body resembled that of a slightly less-scrawny person. <<less

"When most people think of Governments, they view them as institutions which are only considered about being in power, amassing a sh*t ton of money, or control over the people." ... more>>

"But, what they don't see is that the whole of humanity itself is been insnared into a trap. The trap of Greed which runs the human desire for Possession, Lust, Envy, and Pride. The good old 7 deadly sins that we use to call it."

"You may wonder who I am to say such idiotic yet profound things. To be frank I'm wondering that myself, am I Jeremy White a college professor? or Willaim Grandthon the Crown Prince of the Gaya Kingdom? But what I do know is that I was in the teacher's bathroom doing the deed every civilized human does."

"Does sh*tting makes you transmigrate?"

"Why is there so much blood in here?"

"Sh*t! sh*t! My neck! It's bleeding! Wait it's healing? How!"

"F*ck it! I have Isekaied!"

***

- The story deals with Jeremy a former History and Philosophy professor who finds himself in the body of the Prince of the Gaya kingdom who was assassinated.

- Armed with the knowledge of his previous life he finds the current world lacking in many things.

- The main character is somewhat crazy and might intentionally use cuss words so caution is allowed. <<less

A story I wrote back in 2021 for a friend. Meant to be a bit spicy, but nothing explicit! It's kind of like a diary. Switching back and forth between the two main protagonists in the 24 short chapters. This is all there is to it, but who knows, if it get's popular, I might pick it up, and continue!
All kinds of feedbacks are welcome! While my writing style probably changed since, I'm sure there are things I could still learn from this short. Don't forget to rate it! And please let me know, what, and why you hated, or loved about this story. There is always room for improvement. <<less

MC is OP from the start but he doesn't straight out destroy the world at birth. No, he'll play with the world like a toddler that's been given a snow globe. He'll shake it like a marraca watching the snow dance until it slipped his hands and shattered.

There will be no romance, harem, or any love making in this fic for the MC what so ever as I'm not into those stuff in this fic. What about the side characters? Maybe.

This is what Ver faces, a earthling who was transported in game as the tutorial boss of a academy J-RPG game. A boss that was to herald ascendant of the hero who would in the future slay the demon lord to save the world? Who was to be defeated and exiled back to his house in disgrace, never to be heard from again. At least, so far as the game story told. Rather, his true fate was to die on his way home, killed by assassins and made to look like an accident. With rain coming down, Ver closed his eyes only to be taken back to the "tutorial" scene. Regression, albeit limited to a certain number of times per "episode" of the game. If he or the hero died, Ver would regress back to the start of the "episode." Protecting his loathsome hero from demons who seek his death while dealing with the schemes of the powerful figures that walk the academy grounds, all wanting the hero.

Jordan Johannesburg is just your average guy. Well he would be, if it weren't for the fact that he's perpetually haunted by something called a Stand. What's a Stand? Well they say Stands are a reflection of the shape of your soul given physical form. Like a persona, or a caricature of the User. Well Jordan's soul just so happens to take the shape of a demonic doll ghost that can do blood magic, of all things. Combined with these powers, JoJo and RoseGold go on a journey of self reflection that takes the shape of your typical Shonen. But this time with girls love and transfemme elements. This story explores the psychological aspects of... more>> being haunted, being super mentally ill, and being a bit of a manipulative girly. All accompanied with mysteries, lies, and several high octane fight scenes. Ora Ora~!

This story is loosely a fanfiction set in the universe of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by the mangaka Hirohiko Araki. I do not intend to make this fiction to say that I can write jojo's better than he can. I cannot! I'm just writing this because I wanted to mess around with the concept of stands and stuff with a backdrop of my own complexes and issues. So there's gonna be LOTS ofinconsistencies between this and the source material, namely with the fact that the main character is a trans girl egg that will crack part of the way through the story, and that there's a magic system. You don't need to know JJBA before reading this, but it certainly does help.

This novel is far less System-based than it sounds and is mainly just used to better showcase the character's powers and progress. I promise you, not excellent writing but decent enough to let the story do its own talking.

Enjoy the story, bear with my grammar, and have a nice day.
