No one ever knows the whole story... more>>

Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself.

In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever—or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation.

Sucked into the void without warning, a handful of people from around the globe suddenly find themselves in the foreign world of Scyria, a place filled with people who can jump three times their height, conjure fire from thin air, and perform any number of other inhuman feats.  Scattered across the realm and armed with newfound powers far greater than those of the native Scyrians, they each struggle to find their path in this unfamiliar reality.  Their unforeseen arrival sends tremors throughout the world, toppling a centuries-long age of relative peace, prosperity, and progress as they each leave their mark on the world in their own ways.... more>>

But Scyria has its own share of intrigue, even without these unwelcome guests.  A major metropolis is wiped from existence out of nowhere, triggering a manhunt across the continent for those deemed responsible.  Two feuding nations decide to bring their hostilities to a new level.  Blades clash, nations fall, and plots years in the making begin to reveal themselves.

This is the story of some unwilling trespassers, taken from their lives against their will and thrown into situations they barely understand.  This is the story of some unfortunate Scyrians, their lives blown apart by the newcomers’ sudden and destabilizing existence.  This is the story of Scyria, a world with a lost past buried beneath millenia.  But as both the Earthlings and Scyrians are about to find out, sometimes the past doesn’t stay buried forever...

One wrong decision could change your life forever. ... more>>

It could be the difference between living with your perfect half, the special someone who makes you wake up in the morning with butterflies in your stomach just because you know they will be sleeping gently right next to you when you awaken.

Or living your life alone, without having somebody to weather the storms of life with, without a lifelong friend and companion to enjoy and share your achievements, passions, and sorrows.

Turning what was once a hopeful journey, into a search for that lighthouse to guide you back home.

An empty life filled with regrets of what could have been instead of expectations and excitement over what is occurring.

Simply existing, without feeling the true delight of being able to actually live.

All because the one that brought colour into your world is not there anymore and has taken away the glow that they once brought with them away again. <<less

A boy who is reborn as a yellow bird in an odd world that is more then it seems.

Synopsis... more>>

One day the one who sit on the summit of everything got bored, and since there was no good entertainment in the last millenniums, he decided to play a game while doing his job at the same time. He seriously prepared this game for a long time so that he could enjoy seeing the best results possible.

This how the game, that brought the destruction of countless realms, that brought Doomsday to the void, that created The Three calamities, began.

This is my first work and also the beginning of the “Eternal Infinite Chaos” series, so please take care of me. Also, this synopsis can change latter on.
and please visit our site ” https://teamdreamless.com ” to suport us. And in the site there will be always more chapters. Thanks

Seeing your sword dancing at your will.... more>>

That sensual curve of your blade piercing the heart of those who you hate.

You are at the peak.

Yet you still think of changing the past. <<less

Zhang Li, the overbearing CEO, was suddenly returned to ten years before his death, reborn. After realizing where he was, he resolved to take revenge on the people that had driven him to a corner and caused his demise. First his CEO wife, her brother (who has now been replaced with a transmigrator), then his wife's lover (who is now a world hopper with a system)-- Wait, what happened to the plot? How was he supposed to take revenge like this?... more>>

Su Lin (transmigrator): I just invented full dive VR. Sister, can your company use this?
Su Jia: Can use! Since when have you been so competent? I really have a good brother, much better than that useless ex-husband.
Zhang Li (reborn): I... also invented full dive VR...
Lao Yan (world hopper): Oh, me too! Look, I also made full dive VR!
Zhang Li (reborn): ...
Yuan Yu: Mister Zhang, please don't take out your anger on the office. <<less

I am on a personal mission to dig up all the best stories and hidden gems of the internet, or at least as many as I can find. Here I will share my findings with you. Almost all genres are included, though I quite heavily lean towards fantasy.

Yan BarCarran has never felt at home. She’s an orphan among her extended family, a spacer among the ground dwellers while at school, and a one-in-a-million oddity born with the ability to use the God-given power. Still, at least at the Academy, an elite theological school where those with the power are sent to train, she knows where she stands. Her peaceful life falls apart when she receives her apprenticeship invitation at graduation.... more>>

Aymon Sandreas is the de facto leader of the Empire. He commands hundreds of powerful starships and keeps order among the planets under his rule. He’s also getting older, and the time has come for him to choose apprentices, one of whom will eventually become his chosen successor. He picks three students: the spiritual and talented Yan, the mysterious and troubled Kino, and the impulsive and striving Sid.

Now in the dead center of politics, Yan faces danger from would-be assassins and political rivals. If she doesn’t learn well enough and fast enough, she’ll die before she ever has a chance to make a difference. Between her fellow apprentices, the reformed criminal tasked with teaching her survival, and even her powerful master, Yan isn’t sure who to trust in this dangerous new world.

Sometimes, the right choice is the hardest thing to see. <<less

Do you ever wonder what the gods, the half-divine, and other assorted higher powers feel about the world they live in? Are you interested in short tales of such entities, or unusual styles and formats that some of these deities may think or speak in? Enter and let the collection of poems, epics, short inserts, and all manner of miscellaneous stories detailing these myths spread out before you.~... more>>

Any major and minor characters will be tracked in the glossary, I will be updating it monthly.
The novel will be updating weekly on Tuesday, though it may also update a day or two late, so check by then as well.

(As a kind of warning, there isn't any specific order you have to read by, so you can choose which character you wish to read up on, as chapters for each are many. Though quite a few poems will take place in specific settings, so keep that in mind. )

(This is a project I am doing as writing practice, so any advice or criticism is appreciated.) <<less

The metaverse is an expansive place that can sate even the wildest man's dreams if you know where to look. And in this magical expanse there are spellmen, ultimate innate masters of magic; and blackzones, dungeon-like places of high risk and reward that would consume entire worlds if not properly trimmed. Almost everyone wishes to become a pinnacle of mages like a spellman or legacy or phantasma user, or at least become race advanced to make greater use of magic and the Five Powers. And Robert Fayn got just that, in a very round about way.... more>>

25 years old, living in a metropolitan city, this foodie has little prospects outside of his job as a museum educator. But all that changed one day when he was assigned-slash-kidnapped to be the blackzone manager of a newly born Enigma! Now Robert must figure out how to survive as a blackzone manager and rule over a newly born dungeon-like distortion in space. All while having to adhere to a dessert theme!?

Magic is returning to the world. It's a slow thing, but it is here, and grows stronger by the day.... more>>

Be warned: this story is no fairy tale. There are no sparkly vampires or schools for wizards hidden in the forest ahead.

No… magic is a tool. A tool for WAR.

Research and Development Cohort Five—a band of misfit teenagers—are eight of these magic tools. Entrenched in shadow wars between nations, these underage supersoldiers are mere “assets." Property of the government.

They do not exist.

They have no names.

They serve MACHINA, a black-ops agency tasked to protect the United States from supernatural threats. Cohort Five has one purpose: to stand against the forces of Heaven and Hell, of Earth and Elsewheyr.

Even at their last breath, they will not break.

Though the heavens fall, they will rise. <<less

Death and Taxes. ... more>>

The two insurpassable laws of the universe.

So long as humans exist in this world, these things will remain.

However, there is a 3rd law which has always, and will always implement itself on people.

Suffering.

Reincarnated in a new world, five people are forced to learn this the hard way.

Placed on 'Nightmare mode' and being reincarnated as monsters, they are forced to survive under incomprehensible conditions.

However it is only through suffering, that we grow as people.

And it is only through suffering, that we truly become monsters.

"Nightmare mode.... eh? Tell me, what exactly was this mode supposed to mean again? Were our lives supposed to become nightmares?"

Without suffering, there is no change in anything.

"Or were we supposed to become the nightmares?"

This is the story of the antiheroes. <<less

It starts when someone takes a life that was never theirs to take.
It ends when every shard drowns and nothing remains of what they once knew.... more>>

Thirteen years ago there was a massacre; a witch hunt of the worst kind with the ashes of innocents falling from the sky.

Now, the world is made up of fragile glass, the cracks sharp and jagged. Hatred boils the crimson sea beneath the surface. All it takes is one wrong move-

A plan to change the world.
A bloody smile with an unspoken apology.
A girl with bleeding hair in the monster filled mountains.
A change in destiny.

-for it to shatter.

This is the story about the second war between nephlims and humans.
This is the story of how everything ends.

“Let an old warrior caution you, there are parts of every tale that are not told. The part where none of those mighty champions died peacefully in their beds. The part where the hero meets their end surrounded by the enemy and in horrible agony. They were alone in their final moments and unsure if their sacrifice would bear fruit. I do not want that for you.”... more>>

The Heavens created the Realm of Man and saved it from the eternal silence of the Void - once. Centuries later, humanity’s unity has fractured beneath the weight of time and the whims of man. Raegn Edelgard fights on in his home of Bastion, one of two everlasting fortifications to protect the Realm from the remnants of the darkness that still persist.

Raegn hoped to be written into legend alongside the stories that inspired him since childhood, yet the scouting skirmishes and small battles that have been fought since the time of his forefathers offer little chance at glory.

When the Void wakes once more the Realm questions if the first war was ever really won…and if they might be saved again. Raegn is left searching for purpose and must navigate through a world teetering on the brink of extinction.

Dire times create the greatest heroes, but tales that stand the test of time are written twice - in blood before ink.

Divinity is a fantasy series about Raegn Edelgard, a young man who must make his way through a world that is struggling to realize it is, for the second time in its history, teetering on the brink of extinction.

George, an immortal who works in Club Sanctuary wants to make amends to Ciel for badly hurting him by accident. But Ciel is too afraid of the intimidating man and generally avoids him. As circumstance and the people around them start pushing these two together, George slowly breaks the walls around Ciel. George may have started out with wanting Ciel's forgiveness... but now he's tempted to beg for his love.

A satiric fantasy following Randy Ditty, a soldier in the Amricean Army, during the advent of the Kreyan War (1955).

An ancient hunchback named Finnel is the principal of a school where students’ special abilities might be called magical, supernatural powers.... more>>

Or, maybe those students’ heightened attributes are more like honed talents any ordinary person could discover and dedicate to developing.

Either way, at Finnel's school, even the most otherworldly of traits always finds its source in something REAL . . . in actual human capacities, like intuition, empathy, awareness, strength...

REAL is a series of ongoing tales, each centered around an individual student at Finnel's school.

Framing slice-of-life authenticity with cool powers and uplifting humor, REAL maintains a light, fun tone while never shying away from digging down deep into weighty themes like identity, connection, and meaning. <<less
