Dilen doesn't want to be some long lost Prince. He wants to stay on the farm in Mist's Edge, at the edge of the kingdom with the deadly mist bearing down his neck. That seems safer than marching into the capital to meet a mother he doesn't remember. ... more>>

At least his adopted brother Cyrus and childhood friend Raj is tagging along. It almost outweighs the annoying Capital Knights sent to escort him. Knight Gabriel is the worst of the lot, constantly overbearing and judgmental, intent on blaming the people that raised Dilen for his disappearance. They didn't do it.

But someone - or something - did and Cyrus has a sinking feeling whoever's responsible won't just let Dilen go home. <<less

Book Two in the Let Chaos Reign storm series ~
Unruly hair aside, the sneaking out and turbulent ride over here seemed overall smoother than usual. Which, in my experience, usually means there is still something that is inevitable to go wrong. If it hasn't already, then it will. Guaranteed. Every. Damn. Time.... more>>

I start to pace, my mind going back through tonight's events, wondering if I might have missed something. Maybe he forgot… I don't know why I think that every time.

This cave is one of the very scarce constants in this landscape of dancing destruction. The Scar is always persistently changing, yet not, the tornados wreaking havoc in their predictably twisting and reckless ways.

The Scar remains a weird kind of maze of canyons and ravines that have been continuously carved by endless parades of swirling pillars of dust, dirt, debris, and anything else that gets caught up in it. Tornadoes dictate the landscape for miles on all sides, some taking the same paths over and over, enough so that mapping them has been a tedious, yet not impossible, task for nearly a full decade now. For the research cartographers and various elders of specific areas of expertise... Not me, specifically.

I'm just a TumbleTech.

The Tumbler is a magnificent little creation that essentially acts as storm debris at the very least, personalized rocket at most, depending on the size of the fuel tank and the kick behind the thrusters on a 360° rotation. Also, it can tow a two-ton wreckage comb like it’s nothing–those handy debris-collecting honey-comb-looking cages the Rovers use to scavenge for treasures of an ancient world. <<less

But daddy wants to be involved in his child's life from the first minute until the last - and mommy will have to learn how to deal with that. <<less

He's a regrettably barbarous, pureblood, Slytherin heir; 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, unavailable, and that's the way he'd prefer it to remain. ... more>>

Draco Malfoy has much more important, particularly insidious business to attend to, rather than waste time worrying about altering the course of an already pre-determined marriage. No sense in lingering on an emotional connection with any witch deemed fit for the deplorable role, when one has a serpent's fangs buried deep in their skin, releasing venom at an alarming rate...

Unfortunately for him (and for her), Madeleine Desrosiers cannot be reasoned with, and she has her golden eyes locked squarely on one wizard only.

This hazardous enchantress is a terrifically stubborn French Beauxbatons transfer student with little knowledge about Hogwarts, a terribly inconvenient Parisian dialect, and a knack for touching things that definitely do 𝗻𝗼𝘁 belong to her.

Finding herself drawn to him despite his inhospitable charm, Madeleine shall ultimately become the grand architect of her own personal prison.

Sudden and involuntary bequeathment to the Malfoy family shield was definitely not the game plan. She is inevitably drawn deeper into a world darker than she'd ever imagined, and in order to navigate the shadows of her new apocalyptic life, she must discover the gift of 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲.

In my high-school there are two major unspoken rules: ... more>>

the first unspoken rule is to never mess with Mr. James, one of the school math teachers. It is rumored that he used to be an underground boxer who simply got into teaching after getting tired of beating people. A jacked guy that is actually smart? No thank you, I'm not messing with that.

The second unspoken rule is that you never mess with the Grace family. On the third day of high-school I managed to break that rule.

You see, on the third day of high-school I was stopped by pretty bitch and her jock friends who were probably just looking to get off bullying someone less popular than them. As usual I didn't take any of that and lets just say I embarrassed them pretty good. unfortunately for me that bitch happened to be Melissa Grace, the niece of the principle and someone I shouldn't have messed with.
Since I'm on a scholarship I cant exactly fight back without the risk of being expelled so ever since then I have been getting bullied daily without being able to do anything but fighting back with words. That is until I got a bizarre chance to fight back. <<less

It wasn't on purpose.... more>>

When Maria stole a peculiar book from one of her classmates, she thought nothing of it since her classmate didn't seem too fond of reading; Maria thought she could get away with it, however, she never expected the book to hold such secrets.

Working as a barista in the city of Quezon, Maria discovers that not only was the book she had once read predicting the end of the world, but her old pocket watch was the key to figuring out its secrets.

Before she knew it, chaos started to unfold, claiming the lives of thousands as deadly games began to appear all over the world, forcing humans to become players to survive.

With the desire to meet the beings that heralded the world's end and uncover the mysteries shrouding her books, Maria strove to survive and adapt to her new reality, even if it meant being tangled between life and death.

Before reading this story, please note that this story will not be a short one. This story is inspired by many unlimited-flow Chinese novels I often read, Alice in Borderland, and my childhood favorite cartoon show, Adventure Time. Although this is my first time writing a story and may be an amateur, there would also be some terrible grammar, prose, and repetition of words since English is not my native language, I still hope that some of you will be able to enjoy reading this story I created during quarantine.

From the endless Primordial Chaos, three Gods were born.... more>>

They eventually grew bored of the emptiness and decided to fill it with stars and worlds inhabited by mortals, and they were pleased.

Giving some of those mortals the opportunity to ascend to Lesser Divinity by specializing into a particular concept, they entrusted to them the mission to keep creating more worlds, and more mortals.

And thus, was born the Great Game of Creation.

Lilith, Goddess of Conquest, Lust and Domination, would be one of the Lesser Deities participating in the next Great Game.

About this series:

It is a wish-fulfilment fanfic, but avoid the worst mistakes of the genre.

No, the protagonist won't receive absurd powers at the very start for the sole merit of breathing or being 'lucky'. He will start will only a minor heal on a long cooldown, and will have to train like a maniac and drop sweat and blood to get ahead. It will take him months to become significantly above average, and years to become the strongest.

No, girls won't fawn over him just because of his pretty face. Things will be more realistic and transactional at first.

The protagonist is benevolent, but also ruthless, and will often use underhanded methods to get what he wants. Or should I say, who he wants.

----------------------------------------------------

English isn't my first language. I hope this will still be readable enough not to be uncomfortable for you readers, and I welcome constructive criticiscm.

Tags: No Yaoi or Futa, but there will be a smattering of Yuri, especially in the third arc. There will be BDSM, a lot. A variety of kinks will be explored, but you can expect plenty of bondage, latex and pet play. If you dislike those, this one may not be for you.

Cover by Tim Gibbons. I will replace it upon request. <<less
