Khiron had lived his entire life dreaming of being the hero of his kingdom. To be the knight given the honor of rescuing all of Celestia from the horrific threat of the monstrous Eclipse. Having trained tirelessly with his great friend and fellow knight and confidant, Juna, the day of realizing his dreams has arrived. As victor of the Celestia Hero's Tournament, he is dubbed the chosen knight. His new life as the hero has dawned at long last.

Yet there's a secret task given to the hero which is kept heavily under wraps.

Khiron arrives at his initiation only to be shocked with the revelation that the chosen knight must gain his powers by kissing 7 maidens of the heavens. To make the situation even more unbelievable, Juna is in that number!

How will our chivalrous knight fare as the kingdom’s hope?

“Bring Hell From The Heavens, For The Throne Of Volk” -motto of the Volk First Royal Airborne as of M31.004... more>>

The Volk System is mired in conflict as embers from the Burning of Prospero make their way to its relative sanctuary. A humble standard bearer risks their life to accomplish an impossible task and is rewarded with lifetime service to the Crown of Volk and its soon-to-be wearer, one Freya Foxway. It's a long way to have come for an orphan raised by the proprietor of a bar in the seedier parts of Sokarin, but the gods' favour is always earned and this soldier will not yet reach Valhalla. After all, they still have work to do.

While this is fanfiction for Warhammer 40k/Warhammer: the Horus Heresy (it’s a whole thing ask about it at your own risk), I like to think that prior knowledge of the universe is not required for full enjoyment. If you'd like to learn more about something I mention ask about it in the comments!

Note for Warhammer nerds: this fic does take place during the Horus Heresy, however, I have never read any of the books and I do not intend to. If I commit a lore crime, you are welcome to call me out, but note that I am not bound by the cannon. (For example: I will include female space marines. If you don’t like it then please keep that to yourself! Thanks!)

psst, if you're here for the Mecha tag, you gotta wait until chapter seven. <<less

Crappy synopsis, but idk what else I'd really write cuz idk the direction this is gonna go lol. There's probably going to be a few romances, but harem is unlikely.

Abducted by the government. Forced to enter data into an old computer. When the command prompt came up Felix pressed it. [EXECUTE]. Time froze, and he was ripped out of his Universe by the System. Given the title of Versewalker by an Observer, and a fallen angel as a constant companion, he has only three tasks: travel the Multiverse solving Crises, level up, and get back home to save his reality.

What to Expect:

+ Weak to Strong MC with custom RPG systems.
+ LitRPG System Screens of excellent quality.
+ A blend of science-fiction and fantasy elements.
+ Multiple Universes, Cultures, and Settings.
+ Dungeoneering and Loot.
+ Lite kingdom building and kingdom management.
+ Unique companions gathered from across the Multiverse.

Notes on Tags:
+ Subsequent Volumes will have different Universes which, by their nature, will touch on some of the other tags.
+ There is a romance between Felix and Tinuriel. It's not a central focus and is relatively quick in development (I mean, who wouldn't want to travel the Multiverse with amazing powers?)

Maybe he did die. Perhaps it was a test before the afterlife for the Gods above to measure his mantle against an insurmountable challenge.

Sure enough... He didn't need to wait for long to learn why he appeared in this alien land called Susaria. It turns out that he is not the first to be summoned into this world, but he will most likely be the last. His predecessor, the Hero Dalen, made sure of it.

After saving the world from destruction, a celebrated figure, a living legend in the people's eyes, decided it was his right to rule the world with an iron fist. Elian had to realize it would be his quest to stop him... The question was, will he be able to do it? Or will he be just the next Hero in line, waiting to be defeated?

--- Author's notes:

Hey-ho! I am happy you clicked on my story and are considering checking it out! For my returning readers, welcome back! Here are some quick notes on what you need to know about this story if you need a bit more information than a traditional synopsis:

- I decided to make this part of my Cosmos series, but it only has vague, faint inklings, as I do not plan to include cameos or direct references here. This is just another realm, somewhere in the vast cosmos.
- The chapters in this book are 3/4 of the length of my usual chapters. This choice was made consciously, as it helps me write it consistently in tandem with the other books. Also, this story is going to be shorter than the others.
- Expect a story about a classic Good vs Evil scenario. I just wanted to write a fun hero's journey story for a change of pace. Of course, this does not mean I will shove 2D characters into it, but the motivations are more straightforward than my usual settings. Someone is here to dominate, and someone is here to stop that from happening.
- The release schedule will be six chapters per week, from Monday to Saturday, 16:00 UTC+2. You can read twelve chapters ahead, so two weeks over the public chapters on my patreon! https://www.patreon.com/user?u=91260409
- Also, this story was the very first I wrote back in high school, many years ago. I still have it printed out. When I found it, I decided to rework it because now I can do so much more with the core idea. So, while this is new, it is a story I have already told as a teenager, so I have a clear plot laid out before me that I am simply expanding with my now improved skillset.

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.

Expectations:
- MC has no powers. Wits and strategy only.
- Meaty chapters averaging 3500 words.
- Expansive secondary world.

Or if You have any ideas on where you'd like the story to go! I am all ears. This..is my first real attempt at a story. I've written before but never put it anywhere.
