Jolly Parrot Sailing

When the Vikings razed Eldhame, they left behind ash, ruin—and a boy king with no crown. Raised in hiding by a loyal soldier and a silent blade of the old court, Uthred was forged in fire, sharpened by loss, and trained for vengeance. Now grown, he returns not as a child, but as a spark set to ignite rebellion. But reclaiming a kingdom is only the beginning. Old gods stir beneath ice and stone. Empire sails darken the eastern horizon. And prophecy whispers that Uthred’s bloodline may bring either salvation—or apocalypse. As war erupts across coasts, courts, and continents, Uthred must lead allies he cannot fully trust, protect a people who barely remember his name, and guard the child who may one day eclipse him. Steel can kill kings. But only fire can make one.

A chubby little girl was reborn. She received a heaven defying system as well as a drastic weight loss as she advanced in ranks to become a goddess. She started a company, became the big boss, signed on superstars and filmed movies. There were no limits to her counterattacks - face slapping and tumbling around were daily occurrences to her. In the end, midway through her smooth-sailing ventures, her system would always play a few tricks. [Ding! Issuing the main mission: Host, please seduce Mr CEO with all your might!] What?? The goddess was instantly dumbfounded. Hold on!! However, the goddess suddenly turned backwards and her body dashed towards Mr CEO in a manner that was completely out of her control.

Reincarnated into his college days. Zhou Yuwen knew the importance of a persona. In this life, Zhou Yuwen's labels were aloof, mature, and exceptionally talented! "I'm quite traditional, I believe that if you're in a relationship, you need to be responsible, so one must be extremely cautious about dating." "Zhou Yuwen, let's get remarried!" "Damn it! Are you poisoned or something? I haven't even been married before!" "Stop talking nonsense! We were married in our last life!" "That was in the past life!" "Remarry!" "Go away! I have a girlfriend!" He fled, she chased! He couldn't escape, even if he had wings!

This is the best of times: the age of sails, gold, gunpowder, and discovery. This is also the worst of times: piracy, plague, the Inquisition, and wars of faith. Amid blood and salt, fire and faith, rises a legend. In the scorching summer of 1515, in the heart of Algiers, two thousand men crowd a plaza under the burning Saharan wind. They’ve come to join the fleet of Hayreddin the Redbeard — the most feared pirate of the Mediterranean. Among them, a pale boy with eyes as black as starless nights steps from the sea. He carries a scythe, not a sword. Death follows. Thus begins the tale of the Reaper of the Sea.

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

The skies are torn by war. The map is alive. And a rebel dares to rewrite it. Seventeen-year-old Kairo Vey grew up under the shadow of floating warships and tyrant kings. When his skyport home is reduced to ash by the ruling Sky Assembly, he steals a banned vessel—the Cloudreaper—and takes to the clouds with nothing but vengeance in his heart and a broken compass in his hand.

Yet the deeper he dives into the Atlas, the more he realizes: this war isn't just about revenge... it’s about who has the right to write the future. In a world where maps shift, loyalty drifts, and the skies have memory—how do you chart your destiny?

He was a loser in his past life, useless, but at least he never truly lacked anything. He had money, food, a roof over his head, and everything he thought he needed. He had never fought a day in his life, he didn't need to struggle for his life. Then he got hit by a bus… and woke up in another world. A world where destruction and bloodshed were the norm.

"Divorce me." Though like a parrot, she kept repeating these words to him-again, and again. Selene was but an unfortunate wife of a man who only saw her as...his possession; his trophy.

A vast and unforgiving expanse of ocean, the Scatterseas is a realm where the known world fractures into countless islands, each bearing the weight of its own history, myths, and dangers. It is a place of lawless waters, where pirates carve their legends, ancient beings stir beneath the waves, and the whispers of lost civilizations echo through the tides.To sail the Scatterseas is to gamble with destiny, where the strong seize power, the desperate cling to hope, and the foolish are swallowed by the abyss. Here, the only true law is the sea itself—and it does not forgive.

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!

Especially now when I see him jumping off the cliff. He, the future of the empire, just jumped, trying to reach out for my hand as I was falling down. He grabbed my hand and held me tightly in his arms. He turned us around so he would hit the shallow stream of the river below us first, not me. But I couldn't understand why. Why would someone do this? As if he could hear my thoughts, he answered with the same arrogant smile on his face, "I made a promise to never let go of your hand. didn't I?" Yes, Lunatic isn't enough. He is downright deranged.

"I don’t remember who I was before stepping onto that pirate ship... And maybe I never want to remember." Raised among torn sails and the salty scent of the sea, I found in a pirate crew the only family I ever knew. Years passed, and my hardened heart believed that adventures and battles were all I needed... until he appeared. A mysterious nobleman, with eyes that seemed to hold all the secrets I had forgotten. His scent was different — it didn’t smell of rum and sweat, but of memories I insisted on burying. “Where have you been all this time?” he asked, as if he knew me better than I knew myself. Torn between the instinctive call of my omega body and the need to keep my secrets buried, I have to decide: face a past I’ve always run from... or keep sailing without looking back.

“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.

The boardroom was a wall of glass and judgment. At exactly 8:59 AM, Arielle pushed through the doors in a sharp navy dress that clung to her like confidence had been stitched into every seam. Her heels echoed across the floor as she approached the long, polished table where half a dozen stone-faced executives sat, murmuring over papers and steaming coffee. Dominic was already seated at the head of the table. He didn't look at her. Not at first. But he felt her enter. Just like gravity feels the moon. She took her spot near the screen, placed the tablet in front of her, and exhaled slowly. "You ready?" Dominic asked quietly, his voice low, unreadable. She turned to him with a sharp smile. "Born ready." He finally met her gaze—and for a second, something flickered behind his eyes. Not approval. Not yet. But something… closer than before. "Gentlemen," Dominic said to the table. "This is Arielle Sinclair. She'll be walking you through the market projections and proposed strategy updates for Q3." One of the older men raised a brow. "Her?" Arielle didn't flinch. "Yes. Me," she said, smiling sweetly. "Try to keep up." There was a pause—half stunned, half amused—and then, silence She launched into her presentation. And she nailed it. Clear. Sharp. Confident. She wasn't just parroting facts; she owned the numbers. Her explanations were quick, her slides precise, and her delivery unapologetically fierce. For the first time, they weren't looking at her legs or her lipstick. They were looking at her mind. And Dominic? He watched every second like a man watching a match ignite in a room full of gas. At one point, their eyes locked—and she saw it. A crack in his armor. Not desire. Not annoyance. But something like… respect. And it made her stomach flip in a way no designer bag ever had. When she concluded with a succinct, "Any questions?" the room was quiet. Then, one of the board members nodded. "Well done, Miss Sinclair. Concise and well-structured." Dominic didn't say a word. But his fingers drummed once against the table. A silent approval. The meeting ended. As the board members filed out, Dominic remained seated, watching her. She turned to him slowly. "Well?" she asked. He stood, approached, and said nothing until he was directly in front of her. "You surprised them." "And you?" His gaze dropped to her lips for a split second before meeting her eyes again. "I don't surprise easily." She stepped closer. "You didn't think I could do it." "I knew you could," he said, voice dark and steady. "I just didn't know if you would." She tilted her head. "So what now?" His eyes raked over her—not with lust, but with something more dangerous. Calculating. Hungry. "Now," he said slowly, "I stop holding back." She inhaled sharply. "What does that mean?" "It means if you're staying in this game, you better be ready to lose sometimes." She licked her lips. "I never lose." He smirked—slow, wolfish. "We'll see." And he walked out first. But this time? She followed with her chin high, her stride proud, and fire crackling in her chest. She hadn't just passed the test. She'd lit the room on fire. The hallway was quiet after the boardroom storm, but Arielle's heels still echoed like a victory march. She was glowing. Not just from the adrenaline of her flawless presentation, but from something else—something hotter, deeper. The way Dominic had looked at her afterward wasn't just professional respect. It was a crack in his walls. And she intended to widen it. She pressed the button for the elevator, and just as the doors slid open, a shadow fell over her shoulder. Dominic. Of course. He stepped in beside her without a word, towering, silent, composed. The doors closed. Silence. Tension. Air that thickened with each passing floor. She stood beside him, not touching, but close enough to feel the heat rolling off his body. Close enough to catch a whiff of his cologne—clean, dark, devasta

"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.

Velu was reborn as Velu Singh, a small landowner in a county town in Bihar, India in 2000. The comfortable life that should have been smooth sailing was broken by the Brahmin family in the county town. Velu had no choice but to be forced step by step to make his "Holy Temple" insurance company gradually great! "Hello, because your company did not buy fire insurance, it is very likely to catch fire at twelve o'clock tonight..." "Hello, because your family did not buy personal safety insurance, we suggest you sleep with your eyes open at night." Velu thought he was bad enough, but he did not expect that in this outrageous country, his behavior would be loved. "Sir Velu, the number of people in your company has exceeded 10 million! What on earth do you want to do!" "Leader Velu, our territory has exceeded one million square kilometers! The people in the territory hope that you will become the king of kings." Velu spreads the world.
