The desolated one.

Now here he was: a desolate version of Mark who exists in the past. Manipulating the fools that existed in this world in a mission to reach his end goal. Mark who exists in the past, stands up to the failures he made in the future. Not, like he was going to offer up his life and die anyways. <<less

This is my first story. I would appreciate if you could leave a review, so that I can improve my writing in the future. The direction of the story is mostly decided, so hopefully no writer's block. I'll try to stick to a weekly update schedule. Also, tell me if the chapters are too long, I'll try to write shorter ones. Currently I'm sticking to ~1k words/chap.

After my life was turned upside down, there was nothing left. The world faded to grey as red skies and flames engulfed the big city in an instant. The screams, pain, and confusion of the people filled the air. I couldn't recall signing up for this. Confusion clouded my mind as I made my way home from work, only to be interrupted by a notification on my phone—an ordinary spam ad for a game called, "World End 000".

Alexander King loves the idea of an isekai just as much as the next person. Reading about someone who was plucked out of our world and thrown into a world full of magic and danger and watching them struggle to make sense of the chaos around them as they rise to power.... more>>

But those things are just supposed to stay as stories, they weren't meant to happen to him. Reality was never as forgiving as fiction and he had no doubt that if he ended up in one of these worlds he'd more than likely die some sad pathetic death, nor did he particularly have a desire to leave his family and friends. So naturally, with his luck, he wakes up God-knows-where with a system status in front of his eyes only to almost instantly die too the hostile environment around him.

Alex is definitely going to find his way back... If he can avoid being killed by the godlike beings that happen to just be everywhere on this world first.

I guess I should throw this out there and it's probably important that I should do so to clearly state my intentions with this story. This is not going to be a happy-go-lucky story all the way through. It will start relatively upbeat, but there are going to be dark parts. There's going to be things that are hard to stomach, things that will make you uncomfortable. If that's not something you like, that's fine. Not every story is for everyone, maybe this one won't be for you.

To allay some questions this story is not designed to be a torture porn sort of fic. But that doesn't mean I will shy away from talking about characters being tortured or abused. I also won't skip through those portions of the story in an attempt to get them done more quickly. These things need to run their course in order for the importance of the circumstances to fully be imparted into the story. If you as a reader need to skip over these moments, that's perfectly fine. I do that myself in certain fics/shows when I start feeling uncomfortable. That's just a natural reaction. Anyway, I've gotten a couple of people who haven't been happy with it, and that's fine. I don't begrudge those people for disliking these parts of the story, I'm just putting this out there so that future readers come in knowing what to expect instead of being unfortunately blind-sided by my nearsightedness on the situation. I definitely should've had a warning up way earlier for people about this.

Book 3 in the Nath’aniel Series
With the Lost Nazi Legion defeated, peaceful contact established to much of the tribes of the Savage Lands and... more>> SHIELD cautiously acknowledging the sovereignty of Nath’aniel and the Magi, what is next for him and his friends the Brotherhood of Mutants? Will they be left alone? Or will splinter groups and hidden threats rear their heads to lash out at them from odd angles? What is next for a Mage and his Servants?
----------------------------------------------------------------
This story is the continuation for ‘A Mage in the Savage Lands’, but it is also highly suggested if you haven’t read ‘A Knight and the Raven’ then you may want to do that first as there are several new faces in the Brotherhood added in that side story. This book is about as long as the second novel, but unfortunately it is not complete at time of posting (work and life distracting me).
As such I will be slower in posting for a bit till the first draft is complete, namely only 2 chapters a week, instead of 3, but once the first draft is finished (hopefully only a couple of weeks), I will return to a 3 chapters a week release. I want reliable posting, rather than rushed and sloppy.
Sexual Content is ticked, because in this novel unlike the last one there are a couple of explicit scenes. They are not full chapters but the shorter Interludes and are marked with a (NSFW) in their chapter title. Gore is ticked, because again, these are generally super humans fighting and killing regular people, so it can be a bit messy. Strong Language is ticked, because some of these characters just have a potty mouth and swear.
Each chapter will be between 2500 and 3000 words, while interludes will be shorter (around 1500-1800 words). [Note I do not include the chapter line nor the following two lines (the header) in my personal word count, so it may be about 15-20 words longer]
Updates will be on Tue and maybe Sat (or Sun).

The new Frontier. ... more>>

A supposed land mass far beyond the coast of Mundus that supposedly holds all sorts of treasures and wonderous beasts. During the age of discovery, many embarked on the perilous journey to lay claim to the land, with none returning. Some say it was because of the dangers of the unknown seas, while others say they struck it rich and decided to stay. Whatever the truth may be, all agree that the actual state of this ‘imaginary’ land remains ambiguous.

Nally Stenner, the daughter of a mighty Lord who resides in the western region, grew up hearing stories about this wonderous realm. Now profoundly intrigued by its mysteries, she sets out to see the world.

Dara had been whipped to within an inch of her life by her father, and for the simplest of reasons. She existed. Her anger, rage, and hatred of the man drew a being to her like a moth to a flame.... more>>

The Queen of the Varra was not a denizen of Imera. Her people were already dead, and she was the last of her kind. When she used the last of her energy to find a suitable vessel, she found Dara dying at the hands of her father. This was the perfect opportunity.

'Daughter. I have come for you.' Like a demon's voice, she spoke to Dara. 'Eat the seed, and gain great strength.' Without a second thought, Dara swallowed the seed that appeared in her hand.

For the queen, it was salvation for her people. For Dara, that voice was the gentlest tone that has ever been aimed at her. Once that seed entered her belly, she became that voice's true daughter.

In the dark, the Eyeless find strength. In the darkness that they can create, the Eyeless can and will thrive.

This is a rewrite of the original story, and new chapters will be added as they are written. It will take a while, as I have too many projects on the go. The world will be better explained, but at the same time, not all at once. Don't read the first chapter and expect all the answers.

Special note - There is violence, sadism, sex, and sex against one's will. There will be murder, intrigue, gods and goddesses, with a female MC who is not cute and cuddly like some. She is strong and smart, but with a beauty that can terrify those who try to bring her harm. <<less
