Things were fucked, and they didn't need alien plant creatures invading to get that way. ... more>>

Ava Kaminski has known that all her life. Things were particularly bad in the megabuilding she had been born and raised in, where everything was falling apart, the corpos sucked you dry just for the pleasure of experiencing it, and her gang was losing ground fast.

Really, the aliens didn't make things much worse.

Now, armed with the power of a Vanguard to aide and protect those around her, maybe Ava can make things change for the better for once.

a spine-tingling journey into the heart of horror as we unearth the enigmatic legend of the Enfield Monster. Join the McDaniel family as they confront the unexplained and plunge headfirst into a nightmare that shook Enfield, Illinois, and captured the nation's fascination.... more>>

In the dead of night, the McDaniel children's innocent claims of a lurking, otherworldly creature sent shivers down their father Henry McDaniel's spine. But when strange scratching sounds pierced the night, and a three-legged, pink-eyed entity emerged from the shadows, their world spiraled into a realm of terror beyond imagination.

The hair-raising encounter triggered a series of eerie events: unexplained footprints, attacks on livestock, and bizarre sightings by townsfolk. This chilling chronicle of the unknown soon transcended local whispers to become a national sensation, with newspapers, radio stations, and television networks delving into the sinister tale.

Despite skepticism, the McDaniel family clung to their harrowing account, believing they had encountered something beyond this world. As the weeks turned into months, the creature's malevolent presence persisted, fueling the relentless quest for answers.

A team of zoologists offered a rational explanation, attributing the sightings to misidentified animals. Yet, the locals stood their ground, insisting that no earthly creature could leap 80 feet in three bounds or possess those eerie, glowing eyes.

The relentless onslaught of sightings drove local authorities to seek help from the Illinois State Police and the Department of Natural Resources. But the mysterious entity remained elusive, leaving behind a trail of bafflement and dread.

Years passed, and the Enfield Monster evolved into a cornerstone of local folklore—an enigma never definitively solved or disproven. Was it a collective hallucination, an elaborate hoax, or a genuine brush with the supernatural? The enigmatic tale endures, a testament to the enigmatic mysteries lurking in the shadows.

In this gripping exploration, we delve deep into the heart of darkness and the resilience of belief. Join us on a quest for answers, as we navigate the blurred line between reality and the macabre. Dare you venture into the shadows in the scary night and face the unknown? <<less

Throughout the ages, Murim was plagued by constant wars by the three fractions. The Righteous, Unorthodox, and Demonic fraction. ... more>>

The prophets foretold that the final clash between the factions would finally bring an end to the endless war and bring Murim into a whole new era.

The battle tore the area into a massive mountain. Above the mountain lies a gate in the sky.

From the gate flows out spirit ki once more into the world.

Tyra Blood-Fire didn’t want just any crew.... more>>

Bandits never built Great houses. They have no structure, organization, nor legacy. They had few tactics in the field and little design for the future. Worst of all they had no loyalty beyond filling their own pockets. A bandit clan was a pack of stray dogs fighting for scraps, willing to bite the hand if it dared to feed them.

Growing up in Balmora, Tyra knew that the Great Houses of her world were built on blood. Yet as an orphan child and a Human amongst Dark Elves, her concept of family was one forged from experience. It wasn't the bandits and cutthroats, but the loners and outcasts she identified with most. So when she picked out the crew that would become the Crimson Dirks, she sought out the qualities that best defined herself.

What she wanted were survivors. <<less

But as leads finally make themselves known, the detective is drawn deeper into the underbelly of Change City. <<less

Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, Demons, Beastmen, Oni, and many more fantasy races all excel in one way or another.... more>>

Humans, while numerous, are the weakest race. Not as strong as the Orcs, as cunning and gifted in magic as the Elves, as inventive and industrious as the Dwarves, or as ferocious as the Beastmen. Normally, they would never have had the chance to thrive in a world filled with such powerful foes. However, under the protective watch of the dragons, Humanity was allowed to prosper. Everything changed when the last of their guardians fell, and so too did their hegemony. Kingdom after Kingdom fell, gradually pushing the borders of Humanity further into a corner. Surrounded and desperate on the outside while corrupt and festering on the inside, who could possibly save them?. <<less

Thus, a game commenced—a grand contest between gods and races. Those chosen to enter the Tower were blessed by the divine and fought in their names. However, the harmony and assistance bestowed upon them proved fleeting... <<less

The only thing that Safwan knew about his mother's family was that they have lands upon lands under their name, be it paddy fields, rubber plantations, palm oil plantations and orchards. However, greed was prevalent in human nature, so clash and fights over the inheritance were frequent. This resulted in Safwan and his siblings never met his mother's side of the family at all.

You might be wondering who I am.... more>>

I'm just an ordinary human. An 18 year old boy, who loves reading novels, especially [The Fractured Heavens].

Yes... I was supposed to be just a normal person... so [God], why the FUCK did you reincarnate me into this damn novel!? Not only that, but you chose to reincarnate me into the most useless character of all times-

[Sa Dae-Hyun].

Trash talent, trash skills, trash stats, terrible personality, a rugged delinquent with a scary face, and the ONLY korean named character in the whole novel. A third-rate villian used to promote the MC in the spotlight. Furthermore, he is DEAD last in his year- no, scratch that, the worst of the worst, in the ENTIRE history of [Tirath, The Academy of Swords And Magic]. This author must have something against koreans...

.....Screw this. Fuck using swords. Fuck using magic. I can't use either of them anyways.

So, I'm using [Guns]. <<less

Soran Xenthos completely sucks at being normal. Being found inside a destroyed mech in the middle of a civil war in the year 3981 certainly made him unique. He has also been able to manipulate fire before he could even learn how to walk. On the very long list of the things that make him special, the one thing he truly hated was the strange nightmare that he can't seem to get rid of. A night of horror and death involving a woman named Alara and a man named Solomon who ironically looks just like him. ... more>>

Now living on the fourth planet of the Prime System known as Neo Arcadia, he attends the Albion Military Academy. A special school comprised of students from each of the Prime System's six worlds. Though for the past two weeks he's spent time in suspension for an altercation at school gone horribly wrong. For his first day back he hoped he could spend it peacefully with his friends, Andrew, Clarke, and Talia as well as his cousin Minerva. Yet he found his hopes dashed away as a school rival nearly kills him.

Moments before death, Soran comes face to face with Solomon himself, who reveals that Soran is actually a member of a long-forgotten race known as the Arcadians. Beings made of living Ether, the unlimited energy source that powers the very society Soran has known. It is then he gains awareness of his true potential as the holder of an Arcadian Marker called "The Fool."

Realizing his destiny, Soran is entrusted by Solomon with the task of stopping Lucian, the man who murdered Solomon eons ago from realizing his ambition of creating a utopia, where only Arcadians exist. However, Lucian's cunning knows no bounds as he attacks Albion Academy in an attempt to recruit Soran for his grand ambition just after the latter awakens to his true self.

With the Prime Council and Solomon now placing their faith in Soran, he must acquire the secrets hidden within the Fool that will lead him to Lucian's ultimate goal. The Arcanum Astra, a device that is said to have the power to shape the very cosmos itself.

Herah War Hej was many things: master artist, zealot teen, and unfortunate participant.... more>>

One thing she was not, was human.

Born in a universe where humanity never appeared, the artist is a Cendreux; one of many dragon-like, conquerors who've turned their backs on their god. She hopes to one day reverse this course and make weapons for her race's planet conquering needs.

Before she can do that, however, Herah must first take part in a deadly game known as Recompense.

Chosen as one of two representative of her universe by her Maker, Norwe, because of her mysterious power known as a Gift, the artist must complete a series of “acts”, each having its own simple but heinous task to accomplish.

If won, she shall be granted a single wish of almost anything she desires.

If lost, the few things she loves will be destroyed.

With this threat hanging over her head, Herah has to grapple with not just entertaining her Maker, but working with the hostile human leading her team and pushing through both sins from the past and the ones she’s committing in the present.

Herah is in for the battle of her life.

But she is a master artist, and Battle is an Art. <<less
