|7X WATTPAD FEATURED| Daniel Matton wasn't ready for an adventure, not until 3023 sent him into space on a journey to prehistoric times. The prehistoric animals test his patience, but Dan must endure all the pain and suffering to return home safely.... more>>

***

Seventeen-year-old Daniel Matton, still grieving after his mother's death five years ago, is given the adventure of a lifetime when he's selected as the Star of 3023's PPMC Project for a journey through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole to prehistoric times. Now, does Dan want to be the Star? Heck no, but he has loved paleontology ever since a bittersweet memory with his mom twelve years earlier.

Programmed to resemble Dan's mother's personality, PPMC vows to keep him safe on his journey, but it's difficult when the stubborn teen constantly gets in trouble, not just with himself but also prehistoric anomalies: volcanic eruptions, eight-foot-long millipedes, terrifying saber-toothed cats, and above all... disaster.

Now nearly trapped in time, Dan and PPMC must work together to escape the geologic time scale before Dan's love for paleontology and the mighty Quetzalcoatlus prevent him from learning how to truly trust PPMC and "let go" of the burden that's weighed him down for five years.

A teen, a starship, and Becca...

Have you ever wanted to see where life first began?

Zevan is a young mage with immense potential and serves as the right hand to Prince Jareth, the heir to the kingdom of Meadel. While Jareth is known for his valor and leadership, Zevan remains in the shadows, his true strength concealed.

As the kingdom faces a looming threat led by a power-hungry sorcerer, Zevan's abilities begin to surface. He possesses a rare gift: the ability to wield multiple types of magic, each stronger than the last. However, he keeps his powers hidden, preferring to aid Jareth from behind the scenes.

But when Jareth is captured by the enemy sorcerer, Zevan takes it upon himself to save the Prince. He embarks on a perilous journey, gathering a group of skilled allies, including a rogue warrior, a cunning healer, and a wise sorceress. Together, they navigate treacherous lands and face formidable foes while Zevan discovers the true extent of his talent.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Rogue Warrior: Stop. I smell death in the air. We need to tread carefully.

Cunning healer: I can manage. I have the three of you as my shield. They will have to kill you three first before they get to me. I’ll not die before you all, you have my word.

The wise sorceress smiled thoughtfully as she stared at Zevan silently.

Zevan: Well, what’s an adventure without a little magical mayhem? Who’s ready to turn a few enemies into frogs?

Hermes is the Greek God of information, but his ambition is to live the life of a lazy deadbeat. His hopes shattered the day his uncle punches Zeus for not having enough snu-snu time. Zeus betrays Hermes by kicking him out of Mount Olympus to do non-consensual free labor for his uncle, who rules the underworld.... more>>

Hermes starts his new life, whom he has his ex to thank, by meeting a grandbrother with stinky feet, bird people, and an unemployed lizardman. When the Morai sends Hermes to guide the soul of a slave about to die at the Agora, a beautiful woman thwarts his plans. The concerned woman sees Hermes speaking to the lifeless body of the slave and calls for her brother's attention.

A youthful, brash man suddenly approaches Hermes and, shortly after accessing the situation, immediately alerts his bodyguards. Hermes wasn't exactly the most famous among his siblings, and explaining his origins inconveniences Hermes since he has places he needs to be. So, of course, there is no choice but to-RUN. Besides, the last thing Hermes wants is a bunch of mortals manhandling his delicate arms to a prison cell.

Many would say that the power of time has no weakness. That it is untamed and everpowerful. ... more>>

That the wielder of such power will have no restrictions and shall rise to conquer the world.

For nothing can stop such a human being, any uprising or rebellion will be vanquished within…time. Or shall I say within nonexistance.

Armies that rise will not fall but vanish.

Loud voices that speak out shall be silent without a sound

A human with such capabilities would be peerless, with everything and anything in their grasp.

That was the first thought that went through Rowen Westfall’s head when he first discovered his power. He thought that his life could be changed for the better, from poverty to luxury.

But to his surprise not everything can be as he wished it could be, for with great power comes with its own greater limitations.

In present day, they have been demonized and hunted down to near extinction and young Jon is met by hostility and aggression wherever he goes, to his discomfort and annoyance. 

However, one day, a mysterious man arrives and informs Jon that he has been invited to attend the Ashford Magical Academy, the oldest and most prestigious educational facility for young Mages to learn and harness their powers.

This is a story about a Villain and a Witch.... more>>

Disclaimer: Please note that this work is made available on Royal Road and Webnovel, in addition to its publication here.

Three years ago, the sky over the magical world of Nethermere cracked wide open, revealing a portal. Out poured thousands upon thousands of spaceships from a so-called superior realm civilization, intent on invading this "lower" realm.

But their grand plan? A spectacular flop.

The invaders were stopped single-handedly by a man, King Burn of Soulnaught—the genius of the century and a notorious tyrant.

Yeah, right. Despite the grand defeat, they didn’t pack up and leave. The crack remained, a celestial eyesore, while more spaceships continued to flood in.

Divide et impera, indeed!

Now, they'd turned to trading shiny tech trinkets with the locals, sweet-talking their way into hearts and minds. Colonization? It was practically knocking at the door.

Burn, once again said, "Hell nah."

War. All-out war! Because if anyone’s going to conquer the world, Burn would rather it be him—not some intergalactic interlopers.

***

THAT WAS THE PLAN!

Conquer the world under him, then the invaders, then whoever was behind them!

But…

The seventh loop started, and Burn returned back, awakened before the apocalyptic war started, cursing—“This stupid bi—witch!”

His march came to a halt when a woman suddenly appeared before him and took her own life while shouting his name. Burn only blinked before realizing he had returned to the time before HIS CONQUER began.

That witch of a woman had reset all his hard work!

"Why? You're wondering if I've trapped you in a time loop?" the witch asked. "It's not just a spell but a curse! Dear Villain, you are now Witchbound!"

***

Apparently, the witch wasn't all that bad.

“But aren’t you glad to see your worst enemy able to understand your point of view?” the woman smiled softly. “You should also be glad that I’m a rational and considerate type of person.”

Even to her worst enemy.

Resetting time for her own purposes? Apparently, she was including him in her considerations.

Now Burn, ever the pragmatic, practical, and cold tyrant, found himself in a quandary. Was she a friend or a foe? Was she his worst curse or his greatest blessing?

Well, let’s find out. <<less

Bound by his quest, his ambition bold.
Through realms unseen, his path winds and twirls,
Yet shall he emerge, or be lost in the shadows' swirls? <<less

Book 1 - JiangXi (complete)

Molam longs to return home after successfully stealing from the Empire. But the enigmatic Oracle dangles it just out of reach, assigning him another task: to steal wood from the sacred World Tree from the Empire.

The task sends Molam to an Empire city on the brink of collapse, its inhabitants desperate to survive the impending Winter's Sorrow. United with a group of allies handpicked by the Oracle, Molam realizes he is the Oracle's last piece in a decades-long plan to thwart the Empire's relentless ambition to reach Heaven.

Entering the fray comes with lurking enemies, mistrust among allies, and lethal scrutiny from all sides. Continually at risk of having his lack of aura exposed, Molam relies on his wits to navigate powerful individuals with misdirection and a facade of powers. To obtain the group's help and trust, he must balance his new responsibilities against his deeper, more personal goals.

There is no synopsis for Book 2 going forward to avoid spoilers.

"You cannot. He took them, and crushed them into blood. Take my hurt, you say? But it is all I have left of them."
Healer Yuen Sou Yuet has somehow found themselves saddled with a travelling companion, a gender-shifting, trouble-making necromancer.
