Ashen Grotto

For a decade, peace reigned across the four continents of Romero. Ogres, Azures, Demi-humans, and Humans coexisted in harmony, their unity culminating in the grand Dragons Festival. But this era of tranquility shatters when colossal Voidrifts tear open the sky, unleashing monstrous hordes upon the unsuspecting celebrants. Romero's weapons prove laughably inadequate against the invaders' superhuman strength and monstrous forms. Just as hope dwindles, a desperate act—the shattering of the Orb of Chaos—changes everything. The Orb's destruction unleashes its power upon Romero, imbuing its people with extraordinary abilities. Empowered, they repel the invasion and seal the initial Voidrift. Yet, this victory is short-lived. Smaller Voidrifts begin to appear across Romero, unpredictable and relentless. The newly empowered warriors, the Riftblades, now face a new, daunting task: hunting down and closing every scattered portal. Meanwhile, on Earth, John Smith meets an untimely end in a New York City supermarket. He awakens in Romero, reborn with a mysterious, uncontrollable power. His destiny is intertwined with the encroaching Voidrifts, and he must learn to master his newfound abilities in this perilous world. Join John as he navigates the treacherous landscape of Romero, battles monstrous foes, and unravels the secrets behind the Voidrifts. Will he rise to become a legendary warrior, or will Romero succumb to the encroaching chaos?

MOUNTAIN SITTING IMMORTAL (MSI) A conduit of the great Dao happened to enter the grotto heaven called Earth. No one had been able to take ownership of this conduit for many years until Marvin came into contact with it.  Marvin met the requirement to use the conduit. This allowed him to begin his journey towards immortality.  The journey begins from transcending the first mortal coil at Body Forging to transcending the second at Energy Gathering, passing through the subsequent mortal coils, and hopefully to becoming a true immortal with eternal life. But the conduit is far more useful than helping a dying business tycoon gain another lease at life. It is also a conduit of great power.  This power and many more will be his as long as he continues to sit on his mountain and grows the mountain into a colossus. The mountain will bring him to greater heights and greater power.  This is the story of the Mountain Sitting Immortal. DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/Ku2gqaHz

Alongside a band of outcasts, she seeks to dismantle the Empire’s hold on magic and uncover the secrets it has long buried.

Betrayed. Condemned. Reborn in darkness. Kael Veyne was once a knight of the Holy Dominion, a warrior sworn to uphold the laws of the realm. But when he was falsely accused of heresy and burned at the stake, his story should have ended in the flames. Instead, something unnatural brought him back—a cursed revenant with a soul bound to the void. Now, Kael walks the war-torn kingdom of Eldros, a specter of vengeance shrouded in whispers of the damned. The world sees him as an abomination, hunted by the very order he once served. But Kael seeks only one thing: the truth. Who betrayed him? Why was he condemned? And what dark force resurrected him from the ashes? With the help of Lysara, a fugitive scholar obsessed with forbidden magic, and Dain, a former brother-in-arms torn between duty and loyalty, Kael must navigate a world that fears and despises him. The Holy Dominion wages war against the rebellious Ashen Pact, but beneath the bloodshed lurks a deeper conspiracy—one that ties Kael’s past to an ancient power long thought lost. As the whispers of the Pale Seer grow louder and the Black Veil threatens to consume what remains of his humanity, Kael must decide: Will he be the harbinger of destruction, or will he uncover the truth before it devours him? Vengeance is his only path. The only question is—who will burn in the end?

But those days are long gone. Now, he lives in quiet obscurity, selling steam buns in a nameless town, content to let the world pass him by. Yet the past is never truly buried.

In the year 2087, the asteroid Chimera crashed into Earth, unleashing a mysterious particle that fused human DNA with insect traits, creating a new breed of superhumans known as Hybrids. To control this sudden evolution, the world established Vertex Academy, a prestigious institution where gifted hybrids train to harness their abilities and protect humanity from the monstrous creatures born from the same catastrophe. Enter Kai Ashen, an unremarkable eighteen-year-old dismissed as a “Level Zero” hybrid. His ability? The power to produce smoke—a seemingly useless trait in a world of warriors with exoskeletons, venom, and devastating physical abilities. Ridiculed and overlooked, Kai is assigned to the academy’s lowest-ranked class, where failure means expulsion. But what no one realizes—including Kai himself—is that his ability is far more than it appears. As he trains under the enigmatic Professor Mantis, Kai discovers he can manipulate his smoke’s density, temperature, and chemical composition, leading to explosive reactions, sensory manipulation, and even short bursts of flight. When the academy is attacked by rogue hybrids, Kai’s unique talents prove invaluable, thrusting him into a deadly game of espionage, underground conflicts, and a looming war between Earth and forces beyond the stars. From a weak outcast to a legend, Kai’s journey is one of intelligence over raw strength, strategy over brute force. As he ascends through the Evolution Protocol, unlocking unimaginable power, he must navigate the deadly politics of hybrid society, the shadows of the Vespari Mafia, and an intergalactic conspiracy that threatens to consume the planet. In a world where only the strong survive, one overlooked underdog will rise—shrouded in smoke and destined to ignite a revolution.

Beneath the Texan sun's blistering rays, Lin Ye licked his parched lips. The holographic federal flag snapped above Austin's Awakening Square where a mechanized honor guard played "The Star-Spangled Banner" through synth-flesh fingers.

One quiet night in Shanghai, Haoran found a strange cigarette on the wet pavement. Its edges were darkened, but it wasn’t burnt. A thin, silvery mist curled from it, almost like it was alive. Curious, he lit it and took a slow drag. The taste was bitter, metallic wrong. A sharp pain spread through his chest, like fire and ice fighting inside him. He coughed hard, but the smoke didn’t leave. Instead, it thickened, twisting into the air like living shadows. Then, from the swirling smoke, something took shape, a tall figure with glowing ember eyes and skin made of shifting ash. Its voice was deep and heavy, like burning coal. “You have awakened me,” it said. “Now, your fate is sealed.” Haoran’s hands shook, the cigarette still between his fingers. He thought he had just found an old cigarette. Instead, he had inhaled something far more dangerous.

With no clear way out, Vaelin’s calculated approach and Kael’s gut-driven decisions become their only hope of escape. But when they stumble upon an ancient door, an eerie darkness spills from within, swallowing all light. As they ignite a torch, the shadows retreat just enough to reveal two statues—one depicting a god, radiant and divine, the other a demon, twisted and wrathful. Before they can speak, a chilling gust snuffs out the flame. Then, chains came. A shackle with a long, rusted chain lashed out from the abyss, snapping around Kael’s wrist and yanking him into the consuming darkness. Vaelin barely had time to react before another chain coiled around him, dragging him forward, his vision swallowed by an endless void. When they awaken, gasping for breath, they are no longer in the labyrinth’s depths but standing at its entrance—marked. Heavy iron shackles, now with broken chains, rest upon their wrists, the only proof that what happened was real. The curse has bound them, though to what end remains unknown.

In a world unraveling under the weight of forgotten wars and dying gods, Ashen Dain embarks on a perilous journey that could shape the future of all existence. A man driven by the unyielding thirst for immortality, Dain has long abandoned the constraints of human emotion and morality. He seeks the Ember of Eternity—a mysterious and ancient force that holds the promise of eternal life and ultimate power. To Dain, the pursuit of immortality is the only way to escape the cruel grip of mortality that shackles him, and he will stop at nothing to achieve it. The Ember of Eternity, however, is not easily attained. Its resting place lies within the heart of the Cinderfrost Cavern, a labyrinth of fire and ice where few have ventured and even fewer have returned. Legends say the Ember grants not just eternal life, but god-like power, and yet its power is bound to a devastating price—one that has shattered the lives of those who have sought it before.

Soren Arinthal, a once-great sage twisted by his own failure to master the Ember, warns Dain of the cost that awaits him.

Meanwhile, Lyra Solen, a powerful sorceress with ties to an ancient order, becomes an unwilling ally, determined to stop Dain from unleashing the Ember’s destructive potential.

With each step toward his goal, Dain finds himself entangled in a web of betrayal, power struggles, and ancient secrets that force him to confront not only his pursuit of immortality, but the darkness within his own soul. Guided by the cryptic warnings of Elyndra, the Oracle of Flame, Dain is forced to question the very nature of his quest. Is immortality truly worth the cost?

The path to eternity may be lined with the ashes of his own soul. The Ember of Eternity is a sweeping fantasy epic that explores themes of power, sacrifice, and the inherent cost of seeking immortality. It is a tale of ambition gone awry, where the pursuit of god-like power forces its seekers to confront the limits of their humanity, and where the question of what makes life worth living is answered only in the flames of destruction.
