Hearth

The world remembers him only in whispers. In stories meant to frighten children. In scriptures sealed behind church vaults. In the charred ruins of cities that dared to stand tall. They call him many things. The Lord of Endless Midnight. The Sovereign of Ashes. The Demon of the Last Light. No one speaks the name he once bore. No one remembers the man. His throne sits atop a black citadel built where no grass grows. No birds sing above it. No stars shine above its towers. The land around it decays — not because he wills it, but because the gods themselves turned their eyes away from him. He does not speak. He does not smile. He does not sleep. Only once in a while, when the flames of war flicker low, he dreams — and the world trembles. In those dreams, there is no blood. Only a woman’s laughter, soft and warm. A child running through wildflowers. A fire in a hearth that smells like safety. Faces blurred by time, yet never truly forgotten. He wakes. He feels nothing. And so he marches again. The world believes he seeks conquest. That he wishes to drown the continent in darkness. But that is not the truth. The truth is worse. He is not here to rule. He is here to erase. To burn the world that betrayed him, not out of hatred… but because it no longer deserves to exist. He tried to protect it once. He begged. He bled. He trusted. And for that, they fed him to the flame — and made him need the darkness. It was not always like this. He was not always this. He once had a name. He once had a family. He once had a friend who called him brother. They are gone now. He remains. Not Kael Viremont, the Duke of the Western Vale. No. That man died in chains of ash and blood. What remains now… ...is a silence the gods cannot bear to hear. Let the world scream his name in fear. Let them curse the night he fell. Let them pray to empty heavens. For the last light is long gone. And its scream has only just begun.

My name is Esteria, and I was born in a world of swords and sorcery — a quiet, forgotten village cradled between the Whispering Mountains - Silvermist. We lived simple lives, warmed by hearth and tradition. But peace never lasts in stories like mine. They came at dawn — cloaked in fire and shadow — and by dusk, my home was nothing but ash. I watched them slaughter everyone I loved. I should have died too… but something in me refused. As the flames devoured all, I awakened to a gift I can copy talents, the essence of skill itself — swordsmanship, magic, logic, speech, survival — anything another being has mastered, I can learn by witnessing and understanding it. That night, amidst ruin, I took my first skill from a dying hunter — his instincts, his eyes. Since then, I’ve taken many more. But the world wasn’t enough. A rift opened — whether by fate, magic, or something older — and I stepped through into the Multiverse: a boundless web of realities, each with its own truths and rules. Sci-fi megacities of neon and AI. Post-apocalyptic wastelands where memory is currency. Mythic realms where gods walk among mortals. And in each world, I find a problem — a wound in reality, a puzzle to solve — and I become the solution.

And the gods are not watching—they are waiting.” In a brutal, frostbitten Scandinavia where the gods walk in shadow and myth bleeds into bone, war is never far from the next hearth. The Norns have woven the fates of chieftains, lovers, and monsters alike—and now their threads tighten. And in the snow-choked brothels and bloodstained fields of the North, passion burns as hot as vengeance. From cursed fjords to storm-swept highlands, across battlefields, brothels, and godless halls, the saga unfolds in multiple voices—each drawn toward Ragnarok, where prophecy, lust, and steel will shape the fate of Midgard itself. This is not the world as it was—this is the world as the Skalds remember it.

In the matriarchal kingdom of Masan, Princess Aiyara anticipates a bright future—she will inherit the throne once her mother, Queen Meilara, and father, King-Consort Masaru, depart on a bold mission to colonize an uncharted continent. Yet an unexpected eruption of raw power during the solstice festival shatters those plans. Weary of political intrigue and the condescension of foreign suitors, Aiyara unleashes a destructive force that injures guests and wrecks the palace, inadvertently revealing her capacity as a Sin Eater. Revered yet feared for consuming the sins of mortals without granting absolution, Sin Eaters endure a prolonged life but forfeit the familiar comforts of home and hearth. When Aiyara recovers from her ordeal, she learns she has lost her rightful claim to the throne: her nature as a Sin Eater makes her duty to Masan incompatible with traditional rule. Now exiled from the future she once took for granted, she must master the burdens of sin-consumption and confront the moral gray areas that surface in the shadows of every heart.

To the stray cats of the world, the forgotten souls who navigate the concrete jungles with quiet dignity and unwavering resilience. This novel is dedicated to those unsung heroes, the silent observers who witness the human drama unfold, their wisdom gleaned not from scrolls and tomes, but from the cold, hard lessons of survival in a world not made for them. May their quiet strength inspire us all to find connection amidst the chaos, to see the beauty in the mundane, and to find empathy in the most unexpected places. This dedication is especially for those cats who, like Fren, find themselves adrift in a world vastly different from the one they once knew. A world where the ancient rhythms of nature are drowned out by the relentless hum of technology, where the warmth of a hearth is replaced by the cold glow of screens, where the comforting scent of earth is overwhelmed by the exhaust fumes of a thousand engines. May they find their footing, their purpose, their own unique ways of navigating the modern maze. For the kittens, too, lost and vulnerable, clinging to a thread of hope in a vast and confusing world. May this tale be a testament to the enduring power of empathy, the transformative potential of a single act of kindness. To those who offer them refuge, a warm lap, a bowl of milk, a gentle stroke—thank you. Your compassion sustains them, reminding them that even in the heart of the city, there is still kindness to be found. It’s for the humans as well, for those who pause to see the beauty in a stray cat’s emerald eyes, for those who extend a hand of friendship, or simply a quiet moment of understanding. To those who see past the fur and whiskers and glimpse the soul within, who hear the silent pleas of a creature searching for belonging. Their acts of kindness are not merely gestures of compassion, but testaments to the shared humanity that binds us all, however disparate our worlds may seem. Finally, this dedication is for those who believe in the power of stories to bridge divides, to foster understanding, to remind us that even in the darkest corners of the city, a spark of magic, a glimmer of hope, can always be found. For those who believe that even the most unlikely of creatures can teach us profound lessons about connection, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of life itself. May the stories we tell remind us of our shared humanity, our collective responsibility to care for one another, and the timeless wisdom found in the most unexpected places.

Eldritches, Abominable creatures that originated from the deepest depths of the earth, they were dark creatures that hid and lurked under the cover of night searching for prey, they devoured anything who dared to roam the world under the light of the moon, they would slowly creep towards you and sneakily spread their long, noxious, tentacles around you and strangle you as they slowly moved you toward their maw, then they'd pull their tentacles back and little ridges on them would tear your body apart and you would fall into deep into the abyss that was their large, miasmic maw. Humanity prayed to their gods for millennia yet their gods had not answered, not until one day, when mankind was at the brink of extinction did they finally receive their blessings. From Zeus, The Authority Of The King From Poseidon, The Will Of The Creator From Adonis, The Soul Of Rebirth From Apollo, The Spark Of Liberation From Heaphestus, The Seal Of Confinement From Hercules, The Emergence Of Unembellished Power From Hestia, The Seed Of The Hearth From Artemis, The Bestial Sapien From Hecate, The Soul Of Mysticy From Hades, The Woke Of The Soul From Athena, The Spirit Of Conquest From Ares, The Body Of Savagery These 12 blessings were the cornerstones of the Eldritch Slayer path, a path forged by the hands of both mortal and divine, with these, humanity would be able to combat their foe, however, this was many many years ago, nowadays, Eldritch were the least of problems. --------------------------------------------- "Trixion, from behind you!!" A deafening scream resounded through the continent of war like the clap of thunder, though the noise did little to put a stop to the endless bloodshed occurring on the crimson continent. The one who had been alerted of an incoming attack, Trixion tried to look back at the perpetrator of said attack however the attack had already reached him and he was unable to react to it anyway. "You were a worthy opponent, Krimson Khaos...." To be a worthy opponent to the Scaled Prince, The Golden Dragon, of the Empyreans was truly commendable, yet to Trixion who looked down at the scaly arm piercing through his torso it seemed like more of an insult, an insult that brought him rage. Trixion attempted to move however the poison within his body wouldn't let him, after all, what led to him managing to get pierced like this. As Trixion slowly passed he started to accumulate his energy within his body, within a second his body was full to the brim with energy, soon he would burst into a bunch of blood pieces, and burst he did. "W-what are you doing?!?!" The Scaled prince hastily removed his arm and attempted to dash back but it had already been done. Trixion busted into hundreds of little pieces each piece of his body was supercharged with energy and thus was incredibly durable, it would pierce through many Empyreans and go undamaged, even more, he made it so that when it came in contact with anything it would burst even more it was like a bomb with shrapnels that that acted like a bomb. That act had killed nearly 10 million Empyreans and from then on out he was known as a hero to the whole world, he was someone who even in his final moments managed to bring the enemy to their knees. They were correct however it was not in his final moments it was in the final moments before the end that led to his new beginning. However, Trixion wasn't the only one who would begin once again, for Dendracove, The heir to the Driconite Empyreans would accompany him in his journey, as this was the story of both the Krimson Khaos, The Lord Of Strife, And The Golden Dragon, The Scaled Prince Of The Empyreans.
