To humans, daemons are simply monsters; worse than animals, violent and feral. They are beasts, no matter how human they can appear. Daemons feel no... more>> better about humans. To them, humans are savage brutes, greedy and destructive. The animosity between the races has gone on for generations, with pointless acts of violence between them. No one knows who started it all, but it probably won't end any time soon. That is just the way things are, after all. It is only natural that daemons hate humans and humans hate daemons.
As for Candor, he doesn't know much about those things. He is simply a little fox, who was found in the woods as a kit and raised by Grandfather. He just likes to eat and sleep, and play with Anthony, who came to live with Grandfather so he could go to school in the village. Anthony soon becomes his world, his playmate, his best friend, his everything.
But sometimes, he can't help but feel a little lonely. Anthony goes to school all day, and he talks and laughs and plays with the other children...
Sometimes, Candor wishes that he could be human too.
He never expected that wish to come true. <<less

"Werewolves will love only one person in their life, unending and unconditionally." This was a lesson Tasela was taught all his life by his tribe. ... more>>

He had seen first hand the pain eternal love can cause if it's unrequited. It was not romantic, it was a curse.

As Tasela gave love a second chance, he did not realize yet that this woman was already married to somebody else.

'Wolves mate for life' is a trope that we've all seen before. The male lead imprints on the female lead, their relationship develops, and they live happily ever after.

It's a trope that's used to accentuate the romance, which is all good and dandy.

But have you ever wondered how this trope would play out if the character with this trait was the second male lead?

But there is a fun kind of teasing.” He looked at me skeptically as we began to walk over to our classmates.

“Really?”

500 years ago, the Goddess of Order, Meena, chose a mortal whom she fancied and made him her champion, bestowing upon him great power that... more>> ensured he never lost a war and he always prevailed in the face of adversity. The 'Jojoh Meena', the blessing of the Goddess of Order, was passed down from the mortal whom she favored and down through the line of his male descendants who became Kings of the Kingdom of Binoria. The descendants, with the power of the Goddess, waged war against their rival Kingdoms. Nearly wiping out the kingdom of Kolotia who defied their rule. Subjugating the Remu and the Talisi Kingdoms and forcing them to pay an annual penance to the mighty Binoria to ensure their fate doesn't mirror that of Kolotia.

And the price deemed fit to be paid by Ishar so as to be the champion of Chaos, is the young Kolotian's sanity. Will madness be enough to overcome tyranny? <<less

(This story is a participant of Royal Road's November 2023 Writeathon event.)

You have been summoned here for one reason. Trevor, you need a break.

Trevor Anderson was just another normal, overworked retail worker at an understaffed big box store. All he wanted was his promised promotion into a less stressful position, a chance to use some of his vacation days without feeling guilty about it, and time with his friends.

While waiting patiently for his chance, a workplace accident changed everything for Trevor, including the world that he resided in. After bungling his way through a summoner’s questionnaire and gaining the Power of an extradimensional inventory, he finds himself in the small, peaceful town of Tosa.

In a world where he can finally relax, he finds himself both unable and unwilling to sit still long enough to do it. With everything he needs to take destiny into his own hands - a clean slate, a supernatural ability, and good friends - Trevor will use his Power to turn his life around.

And this time, it’s on his terms.

What to expect:
* Cozy, questing, SoL, jokes, and probably some other buzzwords, too.
* Experimenting with a third person style.
* Numbers are small, but they go up and progression is obvious.

After the death of his father, Shen Zhihao became the worthy successor as the supreme leader of the Yinhai sect. A prestigious position that should have brought him admiration and perhaps envy from his peers. Due to his beauty and composure, everything indicated that Shen Zhihao should become a role model for the rest of the disciples, an unparalleled hero who would look after the well-being of all those under his roof.... more>>

However, few were aware that Shen Zhihao, aside from being the capricious son of his progenitor, was a two-legged rat (not literally) who did not hesitate to impose his will (literally) on all those he considered his inferiors. A true tyrant.

A dictator who did not anticipate that eventually the day would come when his exiled elder brother would return from the dead to snatch away what rightfully belonged to him. Finding himself with no clear way to defeat him, Shen Zhihao would have no choice but to venture into the unknown, traveling to another universe with the aim of finding the chosen one who could secure his stay on the throne of Yinhai.

However, he did not expect that once he arrived in this other world, the promised ally had been dead for thirteen years. Instead, there was only an individual named Zhao Xian. A descendant of the man who was supposed to help him and whose combat skills could be described as close to zero.

To make matters worse, the portal through which Shen Zhihao arrived on this mission of seeking help closed, and with no way to communicate with his clan, how could he return?

Will Zhao Xian be his salvation after all, or will both of them end up being each other's downfall? <<less

Nafisa Radi had heard it all.... more>>

Useless. Trash. Disappointment. A Dud. Outcast.

In a world of people who were born with superpowers, she was one of the few who didn’t have any. It wouldn’t be a problem if she wasn’t from one of the top superhero families in the world, the Radi family.

From the time humans had begun discovering their supernatural powers multiple generations ago, her family had always been near the top. Even now, her parents, her brothers, and even distantly related cousins all had powers that they had received once they turned 16 which they used to continue the family business of being a superhero.

Everyone that is, except for her.

Since she was young, it was her dream to be a hero like her family members. To protect innocent people from the dark side of society and bring villains to justice. It was why she became a journalist. But yet, there was nothing she could do if she didn’t have powers.

She had tried everything to unlock them. Shamans. Rituals. Five-minute internet hacks. Anything to be able to gain even the ability to light a candle and after eight years she had finally given up, resigning herself to be mocked forever.

After a chance encounter at a crime scene with Vincent Grace, the worst villain of them all, something had finally changed. She had gotten her powers. She could finally become a hero.

Yet, she found herself more and more entangled with the villain. Although she tried to remain a hero, soon right became wrong, she began questioning everything she knew, and somehow, she became the bride of a villain. <<less

After the massacre of her previous masters, Seul-Ki is transferred to the Royal Palace to work for Queen Bae Joo-Hyun--an ice-cold Queen with an unreasonable attitude. Despite the reputation, Seul-Ki finds the Queen to be an enticing mystery, a feeling that is surprisingly reciprocated.... more>>

Curiosity grows into passion, and a forbidden relationship begins to blossom between them amidst opposite forces: the Queen's duty to the King, a rising tension in the courts, and jealous wrath from the Concubine who vies for the King's attention. While Seul-Ki falls deeper and deeper in love with the woman she cannot have, the world around her spirals more and more into a political storm she cannot control. There is nothing she can do to protect the Queen, no matter how much she is willing to sacrifice for her.

The world is cruel, and the Queen's maid is powerless.
