Welcome to the Flight of the Draykes. This novel is a System-based sword and magic Western Fantasy with elements of gamelit (Dungeons) and eastern cultivation (The system).... more>>

Genre: Fantasy, Historical, Action, Adventure, and a sprinkle of Romance with Comedy.

Pacing: Slow at first till chapter 30 before becoming a rollercoaster.

Known Issues: Ages of the Protagonist and allies at the start.

NOTE: THE AGES IN THIS NOVEL ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THEIR ACTUAL MATURITY. THEY ARE PROTEANS, NOT HUMANS. Also, if you're looking for smut, this novel isn't for you. Not in the slightest.

On a fewer caps note: The age maturity thing is integral to the plot and it will be explained rationally as the books go along. You are free to guess why that is.

Synopsis:

Book 1 presents to you the world of Protos.

Protos is the land of the blessed. Its inhabitants are of many races, but most of them have diminished in the long wars against the beasts that also inhabit Protos.

This has led to humanity becoming the dominant species and eventually, all other races, including the beasts, have been banished to pockets of land where they survive on meager existences.

However, Protos was destined not to be peaceful as the inhabitants could only fight off the beasts with the help of warforce. A bloodline system that allows them to activate their war potential and battle fiercely.

Now, with the beasts defeated and the other races diminished, humanity - having no common foe to fight turned upon itself, for war was in their blood and they again shed their blood in rivers.

As the years passed, kingdoms and empires rose and fell and eventually stabilized into an uneasy peace until - 300 years ago, the world went through yet another change.

A change where the wielders of warforce now possessed additional powers that had been lost for millennia. These powers changed the face of war again and conflict, which was dying down, reignited madly.

In this world was born Faustus Drayke, Scion of House Drayke - which, in turn, was the frontier protector of The Kingdom of Leon.

Fate decreed him to be unimportant.

His Destiny and the desperate prophecy of a powerless girl decreed that he will be an immortal.

Set in the backdrop of betrayal, honor, and loyalty - Follow the tale of Faustus Drayke as he forges his destiny and becomes an immortal.

For himself, he has to fulfill the prophecy.

For the world, he better fulfill the prophecy.

Now imagine what Sybil's going through.

Watch this short and tempered child grow, seeking a home and friends to fill it and what she's willing to do to achieve her goals

[A/N:
-Sybil is very masculine looking and will occasionally be misidentified as a guy and there are going to be parts when she pretends to be a guy for fun and profit.
- Throughout the story there will be vomit-adjacent actions (i.e. cubes)
- Warning: Bugs
- The orcs, elves and dwarves aren't Tolkien types and I've done weird things to them
-While gay stuff is definitely in the future, Sybil is currently a child and is uninterested in Romance, she'll get into it when she's older and I'll be sure to announce it with bells
- I have a brain that actively works against me so it'll take a while before most of the tags become relevant in the story] <<less

Falling prey to the machinations of his younger brother, Jonas IV Helen Hadin III was quickly disowned by his father, Duke Hadin, then shipped away into exile in less than a week to a colony of the Motherland. Worse, it was in the Orcish Continent.

Now, war is on the horizon with the orcish tribes and clans. Jonas hopes to prepare a stalwart defense to survive with those he cares about and he would if he didn't have to face a million other issues. From crazy pirates, power-hungry mercenaries, entitled nobles, famine, ancient cities filled with unspeakable horrors and much much more.

How he is supposed to deal with this all...? Well, we will find out together.

Oh, did we mention he has been having weird nightmares about an America and a Corporate life? <<less

Gods are real. All of them. Every Race and Species you ever dreamt of, or woke up screaming in fear of is real. All things that creak in the closet, breathe under the bed, and peer from the darkness are real. As is magic.... more>>

And all of that is very old news.

What isn't though is that someone or something started collecting heads of Gods and Demigods. Can a group of extremely morally compromised misfits brought together by a wish for atonement, love, the possibility of the huge payday, and good, old-fashioned revenge fix this, or just punt us into nothingness even faster?

Only one way to find out. <<less

Vladimir D. Svoboda. The hailed, but troubled genius from the planet Earth. The first person who made teleportation reality. The Rotshields, a mysterious family that ruled from the shadows, couldn't leave it just like that and wanted it for themselves. Needless to say, the operation went terribly wrong.... more>>

After that our hero, Vlad, finds himself in an extremely hostile metallic city, Koul'E. The capital of steampunk orcs, devilish wizards (quite literally) and enslaved goblins. Decadency, greed and brutality rules in their society; even gods steer clear from them.

Odds stacked against him, cancer slowly eating him from the inside, he will raze his way through the impossible situation and beings that vastly outclass him. However, he is not completely without friends and alone. An unlikely being decides to help him even though they went through a rocky start. They form a bond that will shake the whole city, and maybe the world.

Magic, technology and all other esoteric powers are just a stretch of an arm away.

Long has Mika, an otherwise devout princess of the Deep, dreamed of the wonders of the surface. Of endless oceans of trees, feathered carnivores and magical lightning. But the Overworld is a dangerous place, populated by warlike peoples who dwarf her already diminutive species in both size and brutality. To cross the boundary into that world is forbidden to all but a very few…and most certainly to her, a weak Singer in possession of a vital treasure. But when the horrors of the surface find their way below, Mika must choose: embrace the brutal, or face a fate worse than death.... more>>

*Note: The dungeon side of the narrative will build slowly over time and only really kick off at the beginning of the second arc*

It features a bisexual non-human MC and includes unconventional, probably kind of weird versions of high fantasy species like elves, orcs, and goblins. It’s also got elements of manapunk and flintlock fantasy, varied modes of gender expression, polyamory, multiple different sexualities but no explicit sex, grotesque lovecraftian body-horror abominations, fantastical versions of prehistoric animals and some very gratuitous hand-holding.

Also, it’s partially illustrated.

Cozca is a Southlander—small for her kind, but a giant compared to most humans in the continent of Aska. She is brave, loyal, and kind. She knows little about the lands north of her. She knows little about anything, really. What she knows is how to hunt, fight, camp, heal, and work. She has traveled from her strange homeland in the south to the Midden: a boreal region inhabited by the free races after the Uprising; a war optimistically named The Last War by its victors. She's set out to return a gift, to claim her father's sword, and to rob her mother.... more>>

Edrelle is an Elf—tall for her kind, but a bit shorter than most humans. She is craven, duplicitous, and cruel. She knows everything about the Midden. She knows quite a bit about everything, really. She knows how to steal, torture, sneak, spy, and murder. She was created in an ancient alchemical vat to be an assassin for her family who live north of the Midden—the High Elves upon the frozen mountain of Elder's Peak, to fight in their wars and put down the allied races' Uprising. She's set out to rekindle an old flame, open a vault, and to rob Cozca's mother.

This is the story of how their lives intertangle. How they must both overcome their pasts, the pasts of their families, and the past of the world. How the generations of the future will be cursed by what we leave behind.

Viewer discretion is advised,

The content warnings are there for a reason. This is a pretty light-hearted series but there will be: moments of gore, traumatizing events, profanity only found on sailing boats; and yes, lots and lots of graphic depictions of sexual acts. Such sexual acts can get pretty kinky, But I promise: THERE WILL NOT BE: NTR, UNGLY BASTARDS; OR ANY, content that would make a person puke. <<less
