The Vagabond'S Gaze

In a fractured world where shadows whisper forgotten truths, a man cursed with a dark awakening hungers for power no mortal should wield.

However with each stolen fragment, the line between human and something sinister blurs. As ancient forces stir and the ruins of empires watch in silence, he walks a razor’s edge: Will the shadows forge him into a conqueror, or unravel him into the very darkness he seeks to master? The price of ascension is paid in blood but the dead do not rest quietly.....

Elara’s life has always been small. As an Omega in a world ruled by Alphas, she’s spent years invisible, her head bowed, her voice silent. No wolf, no power, no place in the pack. Just a servant, forgotten in the shadows. But on the night of the Mating Ball, one clumsy mistake changes everything. A spilled glass of wine. A Lycan King’s fury. And then—the bond. Kael Draven is everything Elara is not. Cold. Commanding. Ruthless. The Lycan King doesn’t have time for weakness, especially not in a mate. So when the Moon Goddess binds him to an Omega—a powerless, insignificant Omega—he’s furious. It’s a mistake. A betrayal. And he’ll do whatever it takes to break it. But the bond isn’t so easily ignored. It pulls at him, a constant, maddening thread tying him to her. And the more he fights it, the more he notices her—her quiet strength, her sharp wit, the way her dark eyes seem to see straight through him. She’s not what he expected. She’s… more. For Elara, the bond is both a curse and a revelation. Thrust into Kael’s world, she begins to uncover secrets about herself—and the dormant power tied to the Moon Goddess that lies within her. But power comes with a price. Kael’s enemies want her. His pack fears her. And Kael himself? He doesn’t know what to do with her. As tensions rise and rival Alphas close in, Elara and Kael are forced to confront their own demons—and each other. Can they trust the bond? Can they trust themselves? In a world where strength is everything, they’ll have to decide: fight for each other, or let the world tear them apart.

This story is about love, revenge, the quest for power, and the right to exist. After being betrayed by his childhood crush and losing his loved ones to a human raid, Erik, a werewolf, ends up on another planet for seven years before he returns to a vastly changed, post-apocalyptic Earth. Originally a timid, unadventurous man, Erik has become far more dominant and assertive upon his return. Together with him comes his beloved but ruthless soul-bound partner and fairy, Elora, who wants Erik to rule and conquer with her by his side. Elora's presence alone makes Erik more powerful than others at this level, but will he find out what else makes him special? Follow them as they use the knowledge and strength they gained on Söl to navigate an Earth filled with magic, vampires, shapeshifters, and more. Along the way, Erik and Elora will meet a diverse cast of characters, some of whom Erik might have known in the past, and some he did not, but all with their own story and desires. Will Erik be able to take revenge for the betrayals of the past? And what else will he discover along the way? ****** Disclaimer: There will be some R18 scenes, but most of the time, they will be a part of character development and not simply smut. In other words, if you decide to skip them, you'll likely miss out on some character development, but I promise to keep plot development out of it. No NTR No Yuri (there might be interactions between girls when there is a scene with the MC and more than one woman, though the MC will always be the focus. To be clear, yuri means a romantic/physical relationship between two women, meaning no two women will ever have sexual interactions with each other without the MC present. That said, Elora enjoys serving women up to him on a platter, and watching him have sex with them. She enjoys dominating, observing. and playing with the other women in the MC's harem together with him, and thus will occasionally join him in such a way. I don't believe any of that is technically yuri, but I understand that my interpretation is debatable and if any of those things weird you out, I advice you to avoid this novel.)

He doesn’t understand his own emotions—he feels too much, yet comprehends too little. Pity weighs on his soul like an iron chain, binding him to a world he despises. He sympathizes with everyone, even those who wrong him, yet he hates himself most of all. Love? That’s a concept far beyond his grasp, an illusion he has never been able to understand. Then, one day, his ordinary walk home is interrupted by an act of divine will. The road vanishes, replaced by an endless hall that radiates an overwhelming presence. A celestial being of unimaginable beauty greets him, claiming that he has been "chosen." But not as a hero, not as a savior—he is to become the villain of another world. His only objective? Survive. If he does, he will gain the right to participate in the Gods' Game, a challenge that could grant him anything—even omnipotence itself. But how can one play the role of a villain when their heart refuses to be cruel? When pity overrides logic, when self-hatred clouds judgment, and when love remains an enigma? As he navigates a world that sees him as an enemy, he must decide—will he embrace the darkness assigned to him, or will he defy fate itself? In a game watched by gods, every choice is entertainment. And in the end, even a villain can rewrite their story.

Neither of the Kingdoms wanted the prophecy to be fulfilled. They had to get rid of me, only the witches stood with me!

Yggdrasil, the world tree. A being of omnipotence that controls and guides the universe with its infinite influence and wisdom, seeking an outcome that no man or creature could comprehend. Many believe the world tree contains the universe and keeps it stable simply, but the truth is hardly ever so simple. Yggdrasil manifests the universe's will and constantly searches for a net positive outcome. However, these outcomes often come at great prices, with many of the Tree's actions resulting in the loss of millions of sentient lives. However, the Tree is Omnipotent and thus sees life at an infinite scale. This infinite view allows the tree to see the long-term effects of the decisions it makes, thus resulting in 100% net positive outcomes. However, in the past 60 years, there has been a disturbance, one from another universe entirely—a universe where pure chaos reigned supreme, and there was no overseer. This chaotic universe has begun to bleed through the universal folds of time and space, allowing interaction between the two. As a result of this bleeding, the planet most important to Yggdrasil's desired universal outcome is being overrun by the Void Seekers. In order to save its universe and destroy the Void, Yggdrasil has made a Drastic decision—a decision involving one man: Magni Gunvaldsen. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] Welcome to my story, fellow humans. I have had to rewrite this story 15 times because I was never truly satisfied with it, but here I am with the final product. I have solidified the plot, given my main character a real personality, and corrected my writing style to fit the theme of the book more closely. The amount of time and effort I have put into this book is honestly frightening, but nonetheless, it is worth every second, penny, and sleepless night. I have set this novel up so that I can continue it indefinitely if need be, but I will at least have three volumes written in three years. Each novel will be 50 full-length chapters long and jam-packed with content, but I will not slack on the quality. I will be posting chapters at a minimum of 3k words once a week, and some will even go up to 6k or 7k. The first volume will focus on Magni's unique situation, emotions, and his drive for success. It will touch on many things, such as mental health, expectations, faith, and the will of others. The second volume will Focus on revenge and how the idea is flawed but, in an imperfect world, is a necessary evil. The 3rd volume will focus on the concept of destiny, the emotion of love, the correlation between the two, and the inverse. (this is when Magni's love interest will be revealed). Of course, there will still be plenty of action; this is an action novel series, but there will be solid themes of love in this 3rd volume. If that's not your cup of tea, then I don't care. I'm sure plenty of loyal readers out there will support me despite you. Welcome to a journey of a lifetime, and I hope you enjoy.

What do you do when your best friend has a crush on someone you don’t even know? Well, we write a story about it, of course. The transition from 50% to a full-blown crush is interesting in so many ways. And in my best friend S’s life, that’s exactly what’s happening right now. She’s the “idiot” in love, and we’re the “idiots” standing by, giggling madly while elbowing her. Perfect, right? But here’s the real question: Does ‘A’ feel the same way, or is it just teasing? A and S like to pretend they’re just cousins with their usual banter. But as their friends, we have every right to tease them. After all, we’re her best friends, and we get to watch this journey unfold before us. Follow S through this rollercoaster of emotions with us. Nobody knows where this is going, and that's part of the thrill. It’s all about discovering what happens when feelings are put on the line. “You might like me 50%, but I like you double that. That’s some serious math, don’t you think?” {Co-directed by Romeesa (thank you)} {Main character – My best friend, S (I know you're blushing)}
