The Life Of A Stepping Stone

Every story begins with a hero. A chosen one. A savior meant to carry the weight of the world, its people… all of creation itself. The Void had only 20 years left before its final collapse—a cataclysm that would erase not just reality, but every fiction, thought, and possibility ever imagined. The end of all endings. To stop it, a heir was chosen. Kaiser Everhart. The solitary hero. But the story didn’t go as planned. Kaiser rejected the supreme authority. He denied the Void. Because there was something—someone—more important than saving the world. And because he was never meant to follow the story. He was meant to rewrite it from the beginning. Like the joker card no one can predict, Kaiser moves outside the rules—an anomaly, a game changer, the unexpected variable in a world bound by magic, systems, and dark fantasies beyond imagination. To stop him, the supreme beings chose two vessels. Lucas, the Heavenly Sorcerer, guided by a system older than time. Celia, the Queen of Curses, who adapts faster than fate can catch her. Their Last Step.

You wanna hear about me? Really? Well, I'll do my best. My name is Osidious Vanir, and I was just your average, factory working, video game playing bum. Honestly, I wasn't going anywhere in my life. Not that things were bad, just boring. Unfulfilling to say the least. However, one day, our quality inspector, Elizabeth, asked me to meet her and other people "like us" at an undisclosed meet up location. She was fairly new, and yeah, I've had a crush on this beautiful woman ever since she started. I would have never imagined that single choice would change my life forever. Can I keep living the life I had, or will I be forever changed, and figure out exactly who or what I am? To my surprise, and with no complaints from me, I won't be alone, as I have drawn the attention and adoration of two wonderful women. Just a side note, if you don't like an overpowered main character, sappy love, or highly detailed sexual activity, I don't think my story is for you. I don't pull any punches, so you better strap in. If that sounds good to you, then I hope you enjoy the wild escapades of my "Ordinary" life, which is quickly becoming anything but that. Author's Note: I write for fun, and as such, when I'm not feeling it, sometimes there will be some discrepancy in my uploads. If anyone by some miracle actually enjoys my weird ass story, I appreciate it and I apologize for any indescrepincies. I only upload when the creative juices are flowing. I apologize for any spelling and grammatical errors you may experience, and I welcome anyone reading to point them out. I write everything by myself, and I'm kind of an idiot, so I miss things. I am still writing this book, but I have been going back and editing certain things to make the story both easier to read and make more sense. My scattered brain often misses and forgets stuff without me even noticing. I hope that dispite all of this, I can bring a decent enough story for people to enjoy. I am writing this story for no other reason than I want to, as I have a story I wish to tell. If you are here for it, I thank you. Think of this story as a rough draft, but also the story I wish to tell. I will occasionally add and edit things in to previous chapters for things to make more sense, to add context, or to further build the world/ characters. I hope to release this as a book one day, and even if I don't, at least I had fun writing it.

Waking up in a world where strength is law and weakness is sin, a nameless man begins a journey not to conquer, rule, or ascend—but simply to understand who he is. With no memories and no talent. With nothig but a curse disguised as a blessing and his unshakable will. He is going to keep walking his lonely path—fighting fate, challenging gods, and questioning the meaning of existence itself. If purpose lies beyond the stars, in the void, or in the silence of death—then he will find it, step by step… even if it leads into oblivion. *Release schedule: 2 to 3 chapters daily*

The Balance of Flame and Stone By BadRhitzu Born beneath the blood-colored Spiral Moon during the fabled Crimson Eclipse, twin siblings Yvonne and Kaizen entered the world as miracles or threats. Yvonne was flame incarnate, a wielder of impossible magic tied to soul and memory. Kaizen, he’s elder by mere breaths, possessed inhuman strength and a mind untouched by magic, yet bound to the earth like a living monolith. Their very existence tilted the balance of the world. To prevent catastrophe, the ancient Watchers cast six Veils of Suppression over the newborns binding their true selves, fragmenting their memories, and hiding the past lives they once lived as Ashweaver and Kael’Vorr, the legendary Veilborn. Seventeen years later, the world stirs once more. When an unseen room reveals itself deep within the fortress-city of Vaelcrest, the twins begin a slow and irreversible unraveling. As one Veil cracks, then another, the siblings must face not external monsters first but the suppressed truths of who they really are. Their powers return not through brute force, but through emotional reckoning: grief, forgiveness, rage, love, and sacrifice. Each Veil they shatter awakens something more ancient and more dangerous. Now hunted by the very Watchers who once swore to protect them, Yvonne and Kaizen journey across forgotten lands, into flame deserts, stone labyrinths, and across time-echoing ruins, seeking answers buried beneath their own skin. But some memories were hidden for a reason. And as the final Veil trembles, the Spiral Moon bleeds again. Will the twins restore balance to a fractured world? Or will they become the storm that ends it?

Basketball. A sport of strategy, teamwork, and moments of individual brilliance. But what if... what if the game was stripped of its complex tactics? What if one player's sheer talent could dictate the entire flow of a match unshackled by rigid systems, driven solely by their skill? Some people dared to imagine it. And from that question, a new world was born the World Basketball Association, or as it's now known across continents, WBA. Their vision? To elevate the purest form of basketball: 3v3, where the court is tighter, the tempo faster, and every second offers a chance for one player to become a legend. The format exploded in popularity so fast, even the Olympic Games couldn't ignore it they officially adopted 3v3 basketball as a competition format. Now, the WBA stands as the ultimate proving ground. ----------- Daily Chapter at 10 A.M CET -----------

He kept muttering about the paradise he had always been aiming for, from the time he built the association, when he was in heaven, and finally the path to destroy the dark magician who controlled the dragon race. Nothing, no place was paradise in his eyes. So what exactly was the paradise he had always been aiming for? Why did one person after another prevent him from reaching it? Follow me, the eye of the world, and read the unfinished story of the purger of the sacred fire - Flauros

On a vast continent where the forces of light and darkness exist in a delicate balance, there lies the legendary Stone of Destiny—the Law Stone. This mysterious gem seals the rift between chaos and order, preserving the balance of the world, and stands as the last relic of the ancient gods. The Stone is both a blessing and a curse: it grants its bearer unparalleled power, yet demands that they bear the heavy burden of safeguarding the world. The story’s heroine, Eleanor, was once an ordinary university student in the 21st century. By a strange twist of fate, she is transported into a novel’s world, where she becomes a gifted yet inwardly fragile apprentice at the prestigious Arcane Academy. A sudden invasion by demonic forces changes her destiny forever. Through a series of coincidences, Eleanor becomes the bearer of the Stone of Destiny, forced to shoulder both the hopes and the curse of an entire world. The Stone’s power rapidly elevates her to one of the most formidable beings in existence—but at the cost of her soul, which begins to succumb to encroaching darkness. Under the threat of the King of the Abyss, the fallen god who leads the demon legions, the world’s order begins to crumble. Once a deity, the Abyss King now seeks to use the Stone’s power to tear apart the barrier between chaos and order, plunging the world into an endless abyss of darkness. Eleanor must choose between destruction and salvation. Beside her stand two men, both drawn into this vortex of destiny: Raynor: her childhood friend and sworn protector, a swordsman of unshakable honor and courage. He believes with all his heart that Eleanor can conquer the darkness, even as she grows more distant and the Stone’s power changes her. No matter what, he remains by her side. Ronquis: the Academy’s coldest and most rational archmage, a master strategist who sees through the essence of all power. He is wary of the disaster the Stone may bring and stands ready to do the unthinkable—end Eleanor’s path if necessary, to preserve the world. As the Stone’s power continues to awaken, Eleanor struggles between light and shadow, love and solitude, freedom and destiny. In the final battle against the King of the Abyss, she fully accepts the Stone’s power, using her will to redefine the true purpose of strength. She shatters the Stone’s curse—that every bearer must be consumed—and chooses to merge her soul with the Stone, becoming the guardian of a new world order. Yet her victory marks only the beginning of a new chapter. The awakening of the Stone sends ripples through the world, stirring ancient gods and long-slumbering powers. Eleanor’s choice becomes the prelude to an even grander epic.

A planet different from Earth, home to a futuristic human civilization. Two million years ago, humanity was almost wiped out by an alien race called the Dreson. Before their downfall, ancient humans sealed a powerful technological system inside a black stone—capable of creating world-altering technology.

Marked by tragedy and burdened by powers he does not understand, he returns to the moment his life was shaped—the day he was forced to accept a path not his own. But when the mysterious Stone of Fate offers him a second chance, Eiran chooses a path whispered only in legends: the Warden, a bearer of all the forgotten truths—and the dangers that come with them. Beside him stands Auralia, a cunning rogue once raised by a deadly cult and now the only person he trusts. As their bond deepens into something more, so too does the shadow threatening to consume them. Hunted by monsters, haunted by gods, and pursued by the echoes of their past, they journey into a land carved by ancient canyons and darker secrets. But fate is not idle. The gods are watching. And in the silence beyond destiny, something has begun to stir. A fallen hero. A stolen prophecy. A world that will burn—or be reborn. Echoes of the Stone is the gripping first chapter in an epic fantasy saga of second chances, divine war, and the cost of rewriting your fate.
