Chains of Fate and Fire: Bound to the King’s Gamble

[DARK FANTASY] [MATURE CONTENT] [NO RAPE] Euphy woke up alone in an abandoned bunker with no memory of who she was or how she got there. Venturing into the unknown, she discovered she had crossed into Wolfstadt—a kingdom notorious for its ruthless ruler, King Maximus Adalwolf. Known as a tyrant feared by all, Maximus was the last person she wanted to cross paths with. But fate had other plans. Desperate for answers about her past, she was forced to make a dangerous pact with the very man who embodied power and cruelty. Signing a contract she didn’t fully understand, she became bound to serve the king in exchange for his help. As she embarked on a perilous journey to piece together her lost memories, she found herself caught in a web of treachery, power, and a king who seemed as much her captor as he was her ally. In a world where trust is a luxury and freedom feels like a distant dream, she must decide whether her past is worth the price of her soul. *** “I need something in return.” “What is it?” “Your ability to heal,” he stated plainly, his voice devoid of emotion. “In exchange, I’ll help you recover your memory.” She frowned at his strange request. “I don’t think I can do what you’re asking,” she replied nervously, her voice slightly wavering. “I… I don’t even know if I can use healing magic. I’ve never done it before… well, as far as I remember.” His golden eyes remained fixed on her, his expression as cold and indifferent as ever. “Of course, you can,” he said matter-of-factly, his tone laced with an unsettling certainty. “It’s in your blood.” Leaning forward slightly, he added with a cruel edge, “And let’s not forget—you don’t really have much of a choice. Either you do as I say, or you remain a slave prisoner forever here in Wolfstadt.” The weight of his words was merciless, each one cutting deeper than the last. The way he spoke, so calm and detached, made it clear that neither option would truly benefit her. It was a game, and no matter how she played, the odds were stacked firmly in his favor. With a trembling sigh, her shoulders slumped, and unshed tears pooled in her eyes. Deep down, she knew the choice she was about to make might lead to regret, but she had no other option. “Fine,” she whispered after a long, agonizing pause. “Atta girl,” the king said with a smirk that dripped with mockery, his golden eyes glinting with satisfaction. “That wasn’t so hard to say, was it?” His tone was casual, almost taunting, as though her surrender had been inevitable. She ignored his condescension, clenching her fists to steady herself. Forcing herself to focus, she asked directly, “What do I need to do?” The king straightened, brushing imaginary dust off his sleeves as he stood. He cast a final glance her way before delivering his answer with unnerving nonchalance. “Well, to start,” he said coolly, “you have to become my wife.” Before she could react, he turned and strode out of the room, his robes trailing behind him, leaving her stunned into silence. It took her a full minute to process his words, the weight of what he’d just said sinking in like a stone in water. By the time she fully grasped it, the room was silent, and she was alone.

Draconic Ascension: Book of Reality and Spirits

Have you ever imagined what would happen if you died, but some powerful being decided to reincarnate you and offer you the freedom to choose any world and powers you wanted? What would you choose, to be reborn in a sci-fi world with your own ship to explore the stars, to become a god in a godless world, to be reincarnated surrounded by hot girls, to become the most powerful person? All good choices but not the choices I made. My name is Jackson. I was chosen by one of the Primordials, Brakos, the Primordial Spirit of Time, Stories, and Knowledge, and given this exact choice. We talked, and he offered me any world and powers. I gave him my views and wants for my new life, and one was that I wanted to become powerful, but I wanted to work for it, or else I felt I wouldn't deserve it. Brakos agreed and we started to plan. As I don't like to waste opportunities I did ask for 3 powers. 1: to be reborn with a system-like ability stored inside of 3 books. 2: to be given the power to converse with Spirits forge contracts with them and ask them for help. 3: to be given the power to create a new race of my own creation and become one of them. Brakos liked my plan and selected a very special world. The first world to ever exist. Primus is the world of the Primordials and Primogneitors. Follow me through my adventures as I make friends, run from my village being destroyed, fall in love, take over a school, dismantle criminal organizations, destroy an entire kingdom, fight against the gods and establish a home for myself and my new race, the Dragonians. _____________ Additional tags: BL, Supernatural, High IQ, Werewolf, Academy, Kingdom Building, the strong acting weak, Evolution, Mystery, Non-Human _____________ Not a harem or romance novel. Will be a BL eventually but will not be the focus of the story. Just want to build up the world right now. I'm not an experienced writer, this is my first time writing something longer than a 3-page story from high school. Please excuse any mistakes or spelling errors, and feel free to correct me in the comments. I’d really appreciate any feedback on how the story is going. Also, I might take a few days' breaks now and then due to work or personal reasons, so if a new chapter doesn't come out for a few days, don't worry! _____________ The story updates 3 times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8:15 AM (GMT-5)

Bound by Blood and Vengeance

Kyle Blackthorn has spent his entire life hidden away in the wilderness, raised by his parents to avoid the dangers of the human world. They taught him restraint—never to hunt humans, never to reveal his true nature, and above all, never to trust outsiders. But everything changes the night they are murdered. With nothing left but grief and unanswered questions, Kyle is forced to move to the city with his estranged grandfather, a man who believes werewolves should embrace their primal instincts rather than suppress them. Thrown into a world he doesn’t understand, Kyle struggles to blend in at high school, where everything from lockers to social cues feels like a foreign language.

While she sees him as just another inconvenience, Kyle starts noticing things—like the bruises she tries to hide and the haunted look in her eyes. She’s keeping secrets, just like he is. But Kyle isn’t the only one keeping an eye on Zara. Something lurks in the shadows. Something Fast, and scary to Zara but not to Kyle. Because he recognizes his kind even in the dark.
