To play the game of politics, one must be brave or foolish, but better to appear both and be neither. Countess Julia Augstadt lost her mother in childbirth, her father to an accident ten years ago, living in the shadow of the Royal Palace by a betrothal to the Crown Prince, only for that to be annulled with her eighteenth birthday approaching. There is no justice but that which can be administered with one’s own hands, no power but for that which one personally yields, and there is no evil which cannot be justified with greatness. It is a shame, then, that she has decided there is no greatness left in the lands she calls... more>> home.

"Resonance//Dissonance" is a fantasy, grimdark, and drama web novel set in modern-day Poland. The protagonist, Lukas, is a 22-year-old bartender nicknamed "UnLucky Luke." Despite his rough exterior, he is a warm person, striving to provide others with what he himself lacked during his toughest times. However, when a bar fight leads him to discover a hidden magical world behind the veil of reality, his life takes a drastic turn.... more>>

As Lukas navigates this new world, he realizes that it is rife with prejudice and injustice, mirroring the reality he knows. He learns that the reality he has always known is merely a facade concealing a multitude of magical realms, each harboring their own dark secrets and dangers. These realms are interconnected, forming a network of horrors and wonders.

The powers Lukas awakens within himself are considered repulsive and despised by most denizens of the magical world. They become both his greatest curse and his strongest motivation. As he journeys through the world of magic and delves into the depths of his own being, Lukas experiences horror, pain, determination, and possibility. To survive in a world where magic, power, and influence reign supreme and he is considered insignificant, Lukas must find a way to come to terms with his powers and himself.

Hello, everyone! I'm a beginner writer. After five years of reading hundreds of novels, I've decided to give writing my own a try. Please note that all characters, events, and places mentioned here are fictional. I enjoy chaotic and dynamic storytelling, so that's what you can expect from my work.

I've started a Discord server as I've heard it helps, and I genuinely wish to hear your opinions and suggestions personally. If you'd like to support me, I have a PayPal and a Ko-fi page.

In a world where once every hundred years a girl was born with the name "Danae" was destined to sleep for a hundred years, wake up as a mother, and eventually have her happy ending. But what if that happy ending, no that story entirely caused the suffering of one endless bloodline of women, This story follows the tales of two women fated with the same curse, both inertwined, As Mirelle "Danae" of Eden and as Danae "Caecria" of Eden, both Mother and Daughter. ... more>>

|| Mirelle "Danae" of Eden

Mirelle was never meant to be born the way she was. Her mere existance had been the result of a curse, one that now, after anything she ever loved had been blown to dust by the gods. She was a Sleeping Beauty, the daughter of a pair of peasants, at least that's what she had been told all her life. But now that she knew the truth she vowed to never continue such a life, to kill her first child because she knew it would be a child born out of a horrible act, and that said child would also be a Sleeping Beauty. After 90 years of wandering the desolate land she called her home she met a boy who could see her ghostly form, and on her 116th birthday the two confessed their love, and Danae, no Mirelle was freed until a night many years later when the curse dragged her back into the role she was meant to fulfill.

|| Danae "Aecria" of Eden

Danae, the tenth child of the noblest bloodline in the Holy Kingdom of Eden, That would be true if she weren't a bastard child. She wanted to be loved by all. Danae noticed that her family distanced themselves from her, even her youngest sister never came to play with her after her eighth birthday. The one person who stood by her side no matter what, her Knight, and from then on the Knight was beloved by the Princess who saw no other future for herself, clung to her beloved knight till the very end. Maybe even in her next life she'd love him all over again. If only she wasn't born a Sleeping Beauty. <<less

I was Lady Valentina Avington, the beautiful, wicked, and narcissistic villainess of a novel. When I recalled memories of my past life, I decided I wanted everything the heroine had. ... more>>

Using my knowledge of the future, I became a fake saint, the successor to my house, the future queen, and won over the male leads. When the novel began, all I had to do was dispose of the female lead.

Yet nothing was as it seemed, and before I knew it, my perfect facade fell to pieces.

“You’re not who I thought you were.”

“I despise you, Sister.”

“It’s revolting to even look at you.”

Call it ambition or greed, I would get what I wanted, by any means necessary. No matter the cost, I would definitely win.

No need to like me, I have no excuses. Will you be cheering for my downfall, like the rest of them?

When the Lord Protector Lutan pursues an old grudge and an entire village winds up dead as a consequence, it looks like a return to open warfare is inevitable unless he can stop the necromancer he’s hunting from reaching the safety of his own people, however, this is not his story.

But, now as the sole survivor of his village, and captive of that same necromancer, things are not only different but, more disconcerting than the glaringly obvious, something doesn’t seem right; why is the necromancer so determined to protect him? And just what principles is Alec prepared to forsake to survive . . .

“I'm cold and hungry.”

That single thought of hers ignited the beginning. The beginning of what, you ask? Haha, how innocent.

She was great— No, no, no, that was an insult to the utter majesty she possesses. She is perfection itself; academics, beauty, ability, she had them. Yet perfection has problems in and of itself; not even she can escape the cruel irony of life. That's when things take an odd twist.

On a fateful day, she and her classmates transferred over to another world! A tale as old as time itself, no? It was the stereotypical setting; the king and his knights welcomed the bewildered heroes in a grand room. Unlike her companions, she was an exception— She was starving, furious, and observant. Who wouldn't be? But their objectives were clear; slay some form of a "Demon Lord". Somehow, whilst on her quest for knowledge, she obtains the privilege of obtaining power that causes the collapse of the relationship between her and the kingdom, leading to the chaotic aftermath of a disaster. A vendetta forms inside of her; one that would shake the world to its core ...

"How unsightly."

Who is she? What are these terms? Why is this happening? How will she squash the balance of power? Questions upon questions.

What to expect;

> Hunger and thirst for the flesh and blood of the innocent (Light-hearted 'eating' scenes.)

> A fantasy world which is basically a cut-out of Europe but with more fantasy

> Working in the fantasy version of Germany (someday, in the later chapters)

> Many cliff-hangers

>Gore

>Blood

>Some more blood

> Dungeons

> Cutout HRE

When the author of his favorite webnovel disappears, LiJie is forced to make his own ending--but as the heroine's insignificant love interest. ... more>>

In a kingdom where a corrupt demon priestess sits in the king’s throne, allied and enemy kingdoms both fall to shambles, villages all around plummet into poverty, one nobleman rose. That was Alaric, who would cultivate power beyond belief—only to wind up in prison. No matter how wild the unicorn, dragon and orc filled world got, it seemed like the hero’s love interest Mona had no place in it.

After all, Li states he can count how many times Alaric visited her on his hands. Maybe she was mentioned a little more though. You confidently could say office worker Tian LiJie was slightly obsessed with the novel. When the stakes pile up for Alaric (his mercenary army’s defeat and love interest imprisoned), the author vanishes.

Then Li wakes up as Mona. Can he rewrite the end the author (didn’t) have planned…? <<less

will she ever find a person to whom she could give her love?

Rizzie’s name changed to Elisi when she arrived into a new world, a world inside a book she read in her past life. A book that had a character that went through the same things she did. He was king Dalion, who his own father dared to curse him .

Her life went on quietly until they put her to serve the great mage Sebastian, the old man who told her she was a healer.

Me??? I’ve got the job? How come will I serve the king?

The mage told Elisi the ruler was in desperate need of a healer. That she was their only hope. But there was one problem, the king seemed to be holding a grudge against her kind.

Will she be able to do it? Will he be different than what people say he is?

A cliche love story that is close to my heart ^^
