INANIS: The Lost Magic at the Edge of the World

“I will build the greatest magic guild in the world, become the Khalifah Magic, and find INANIS!” A boy named Kael Luminous shouted to the endless sea. In a world with no continents — only millions of islands scattered across three great oceans. The Western Yellow Ocean. The Southern Red Ocean. The Central Green Ocean. Amidst these scattered seas, a rebellious magic guild was born. The Gild Dwan Magic Guild, the only guild brave enough to stand against the World Government formed by the three kingdoms that ruled each ocean. Gild Dwan declared war, defying the caste system that trampled the common folk. The nobles, blessed with stronger magic and bodies favored by mana, forged a cruel order in which they alone decided who would live and who would die — while the powerless, those with no magic and no favor from mana, could only obey. Gild Dwan became the first spark of rebellion. Led by Rajendra, the guild cornered the World Government with a devastating magic he called INANIS. The war between Gild Dwan and the World Government dragged on for years. In the end, Rajendra fell ill and died — but before drawing his last breath, he left behind a final vow: "I have hidden the magic I named INANIS in a place at the edge of the world. Seek it out, and conquer the world with it." Word of his dying words spread like wildfire, and thus began the Era of Magic Guilds. Adventurers rose up everywhere, founding guilds and setting sail for the ends of the earth to claim INANIS for themselves. They sailed with countless dreams in their hearts: INANIS is power. INANIS is wealth. INANIS is peace. And INANIS is a threat. Of course, the World Government, ruled by the magic nobility, would not stand by and do nothing. To them, INANIS was an abomination that could topple their reign. This is the story of a boy who dreams of building the greatest magic guild the world has ever known — who sails the boundless oceans in search of INANIS, and who dares to challenge the tyranny of merciless rulers.

Return Of The Mad Prince

In a world ruled by the sea and stained by the abyss, pirates chase glory, treasure... and godhood. They sail vast, cursed oceans teeming with monsters, haunted islands, and ancient secrets best left buried. Every creature, man or beast, can absorb the mysterious Abyssal Energy to grow stronger. But power comes at a price. The higher you rise, the less human you remain. Everyone relies on the Voice of the Void, a system interface that displays ranks, spells, and skills. It seems helpful. Until it starts whispering. Watching. Feeding. Lucien, a fallen prince with a cursed bloodline, sails the treacherous oceans haunted by ancient horrors. But he is different. When he dies, he doesn't truly die. Bound to Carrion Kronos, a soul-stealing crow forged from forgotten magic, his soul leaps into a new vessel each time he falls. Each death is a step toward something greater... or something monstrous. With a crew of broken dreamers and dangerous misfits, he sails into the heart of the unknown, chasing vengeance, freedom, and answers. Because this world’s system isn’t just flawed. It’s a trap. A ritual. A transformation. And the truth at the end of it all? Not everyone who ascends becomes a god. Some become something far worse. ### Author's Note Welcome to the dark waters of the Abyssal Seas. This story blends pirate adventure with cosmic horror and LitRPG progression. Expect a slow burn that steadily uncovers the sinister truth behind this world’s power system. Our protagonist, Lucien, is not your typical hero. He is a fallen prince with a cursed bloodline, a twisted fate, and a future soaked in shadows. Fair warning: the journey grows darker with each chapter. Horror will deepen as characters ascend through the abyssal ranks, and the true nature of the Voice of the Void will become impossible to ignore. Update Schedule: Two chapters per day. Thank you for sailing with us into the abyss. May you retain your humanity longer than most. ### Additional tags: #LitRPG #Dark Fantasy #Pirates #Cosmic Horror #Lovecraftian elements #Revenge #Crew Building #Cursed Bloodline

shadows of the elite

--- ### *Shadows of the Elite* – Volume 1 Kei Fushimiya never wanted to stand out. Born into a family of geniuses, he was cast aside as a failure and sent to the prestigious National Institute for Future Leaders (NIFL), a school designed to mold the next generation of elites. Kei had planned to blend into the background, maintaining average grades and avoiding unnecessary attention. But when he uncovers the school’s hidden system of manipulation and hierarchy, his quiet life shatters. The student government, composed entirely of Class A students, rules the school with an iron grip, crushing anyone who dares challenge them. At the center of it all is Ichika Renji, a cunning and ruthless vice president who recognizes Kei’s potential and declares him his next opponent. As Kei navigates mind games, power struggles, and dangerous rivalries, he finds himself forced into a battle he never wanted. With his class barely holding together and the looming "Dark Exams" threatening to determine their fate, Kei must decide—will he fight for Class C’s rise to the top, or will he sabotage them to ensure his own survival? In a world where intelligence is power and manipulation is the key to success, Kei must become a shadow among elites… or risk being crushed by them.

Elves Are Sleeping Beauties

I like text-to-speech so I'm giving a shot at present tense second person writing to lean into a listener's POV. Enjoy! I use Sonia en-GB for the narrator at 1.2 or 1.5 times speed. Might want to read this part, I kind of left it out the story by making it the synopsis by accident lol. Tavern doors never close on the festive dockside. Traders, settlers, wanderers, and outlaws gather, drawn by the excitement of the New World. The air smells of smoke, salt and sweat, sails catch wind beside steam locomotives' whistles and pistons, each vessel either arriving with strange goods and stranger tales or departing with the thunderous farewells. You step aboard one of them, another spirited adventurer in the crowd, and spend months at sea from docks to coasts, continents to isles, to steam across a windless sea under an endless night sky. When sunlight hits your deck once more, it reveals the New World's waters, like pouring paint into the void. You see the distant sails in the harbour of a forested continent and cheer with the exclamations of waking passengers upon seeing the continent, name pending, no sovereigns and no laws. The landing of all those visiting from the Old World, a boiling pot of all kinds of cultures with each person's distinct flavours of friends, enemies, grudges and dreams. Without hesitation you leave it behind and vanish into the forest, wanting simply to dedicate your life to exploring the interior of the continent. How surprising is it when you found that the elves are all sleeping beauties! Capture them all! Hahahahahahahaha!

Horizon of Glory

"The Annals of Exploration and Empires," Book III, Chapter XVII, Page 211 In the annals of history, few epochs have been as rife with the promise of adventure and the peril of the unknown as the Age of Discovery. It was a time when the very fabric of the world was being stretched, its edges frayed by the bold hands of explorers and conquerors. Among these intrepid souls, one name, has been etched into the annals of legends. The Wars of the Roses, a conflagration that had consumed the heart of empires and forged kings from the crucible of blood and fire, had at last given way to an uneasy peace. It was in this aftermath, amidst the smoldering ruins of a world reshaped by conflict, that Byron's journey began. Armed with a relic of untold power, the "Navigation Logbook," he set forth into the uncharted waters of the world, where the mundane and the magical intertwined in an intricate dance. The high seas, a vast and uncharted canvas, stretched before him, a horizon that whispered of untold riches and the promise of peril. Great ships, their sails billowing like the wings of colossal birds, traversed these waters, their cannons thundering a challenge to the very gods of the deep. It was an age of ambition, a testament to the unyielding spirit of mankind's quest for dominion over the unknown. Beneath the waves, ancient beings from epochs long past slumbered, their legends carried on the creaking timbers of ships and the roar of cannons. Byron, undaunted by the shadows that lurked beneath the waves or the tempests that raged above, carved out a kingdom from the chaos that enveloped the world. His fleet, a specter of doom, became a symbol of his indomitable will, a force that would not be challenged lightly. This is a saga, a tale woven from the threads of history and magic, adventure and power, and the eternal quest for glory. It is a narrative that compels the heart and captures the imagination, a story that resonates through the ages, a reminder of the heights to which humanity can aspire when driven by the winds of ambition and the tides of destiny. Let this account, penned by the hands of the most esteemed historians and literature masters, serve as a beacon for those who seek to embark upon their own voyages of discovery. For within the pages of this epic tale lies the essence of the human spirit, a spirit that seeks, that conquers, and that endures.

The War of Mortal Against Gods

The War of Mortals Against Gods When ancient myths are no longer legends, but revelations of the universe's ultimate horror. In 2024, China accidentally touched a forbidden secret on the far side of the moon, awakening the "Primal Chaos" that had slept for ten millennia—a group of immortal "Ancient Gods" who manipulate the laws of the cosmos. Every five years, they descend upon Earth, wielding powers beyond mortal comprehension to conduct a bloody harvest. The fate of human civilization is thrust into a "War of Mortals and Gods" spanning ten thousand years. From Chang'e's tragic sacrifice to suppress the gods, to the tear-stained epic of the Great Flood and Nüwa mending the heavens, the legends passed down through generations of mortals turn out to be real imprints of resistance against the deities. Facing this divine judgment, humanity awakens from initial ignorance, internal strife, and arrogance through bloodshed. Through repeated, agonizing "Five-Year Curses," they cast aside all selfish desires, forging "Law Weapons" with their flesh and blood, using technology to wield the first sharp blade against the gods. However, this is not the end. When the "Primal Chaos" reveals new, more cunning and psychologically devastating abilities, humanity's only hope rests on a solitary ark named the "Ark of Hope." It will carry humanity's last vestiges of faith, sailing 200,000 light-years into unknown deep space, to seek the fabled "Friendly Gods" who supposedly once aided humanity. This is an epic about sacrifice, unity, technology, and faith. With each passing "Five-Year Curse" countdown, can mortals defy fate, secure a glimmer of hope for civilization, and perhaps even bring a definitive end to this ten-thousand-year destiny?

The Immortals: Odyssey

In the dawn of time, a family of ordinary sailors and fishermen unknowingly stumbles upon a fate that would forever alter their destiny. A goddess, angered by their alleged act of theft against her, cursed them to sail the seas eternally, plundering treasures and pillaging wealth.

Head Over Boots

The dust of a small Texas town settled around Tessica Raleigh, a world away from the familiar outskirts of Dodge City, Kansas. She didn't expect much from this "Podunk" place, certainly not excitement. Her life revolved around the rhythm of the seasons, the annual harvest of wheat and corn that her family meticulously managed. Her true sanctuary wasn't a quiet room or a bustling city street; it was the cab of a combine or a tractor, the steady hum of the engine a comforting presence as she plowed and harvested the crops. Romance was a distant, practically nonexistent, concept in her demanding schedule. Her parents, meanwhile, basked in their perceived wealth from the successful harvests, seemingly oblivious to anything beyond their financial comfort. On the Triple R Ranch, Logan Ray was living a different, yet equally focused, life. His days were steeped in the traditions of the ranch, a legacy passed down by his dad and uncles. His sophomore year had been smooth sailing, and he felt no anxieties about stepping into junior year. The only real pressure came from his friends, who relentlessly teased him about getting a girlfriend. Logan, however, had his priorities set on his studies and the demanding work of the ranch. He found far more interest in the intricacies of cattle and crops than in high school dating. This focus, however, sometimes made him a target for Kale Edwards, Sawyer Edwards' oldest son, whose animosity often manifested in physical blows.
