Onyx Or Obsidian

The world was separated for a milennia and each section of the world grew in culture and understanding. When those separations diminished, the world had to learn to work as one and have thus far failed. Now it is up to the 6 heir of the world to band together to stop the threat that comes for them; if they are unable to work as one then there will not be a world left to rule. Based on a DND campaign with characters being based on my friends PC's, follow along each week as the story unfolds and see if Hize will prosper, or fall to ruin under their rule. I will be posting this story on Royal Road!

In the depths of a cursed reflection, truth and deception blur into one. Vivian Sinclair never believed in the supernatural—until the day she moved into Blackthorn Manor, an old estate shrouded in unsettling whispers and forgotten secrets. A long-forgotten mirror hidden within the greenhouse awakens something inside her, something that shouldn’t exist beyond the glass. A shadow of herself stares back, watching, waiting. At first, the visions are subtle—flickers of movement when no one else is there, a whisper of her name in the dead of night. But as the days pass, the haunting presence becomes undeniable. Her reflection begins to move on its own, revealing memories she never lived, secrets she never uncovered, and a version of herself she doesn’t recognize. Sebastian Graves, a scholar obsessed with the manor’s dark past, warns her that some mirrors do more than reflect—they remember. And the one in Blackthorn Manor doesn’t just hold history; it holds something alive. Something that wants out. As the lines between reality and illusion fracture, Vivian realizes she isn't just being haunted—she is being rewritten. The more she resists, the stronger the presence grows, feeding off her fears, her doubts… and her lies. Because the darkest truths aren’t the ones buried in the past. They’re the ones we tell ourselves. And in the end, the mirror never lies. But Vivian might.

Powerful, unyielding, and cold-hearted, billionaire heiress Isabella Hamilton has never trusted a man—especially not after her father’s tragic betrayal took her mother’s life. Her life is a fortress, guarded by disdain for the opposite sex, and she shows no mercy to those who try to cross her. But when she humiliates a rich and arrogant businessman in front of the world, little does she know that her life is about to change forever. Devastated by the public embarrassment, Dominic West vows revenge. He hires a charming, attractive man, the perfect weapon to break Isabella’s walls, steal her fortune, and crush her heart. But as the plan unfolds, things go awry. The hired man, Lucas Hart, finds himself falling for the very woman he’s meant to destroy. Torn between duty and love, Lucas must make an impossible choice: complete his mission and break Isabella’s heart, or risk everything to protect her from the vengeance that has already claimed so much. In a world of power, deception, and broken trust, will love survive? Or will revenge and regret tear them apart forever?

For fifty years, the world bled. The Ouranios Alliance crushed the demonic Daimonas, ushering in an era of uneasy peace. But from the ashes of defeat, a single spark of vengeance ignites. Nyx, son of the fallen Daimonas leader, swears an oath: to tear down the victors and avenge his people. His journey into the dark arts begins with a single, ancient grimoire, but the path to omnipotence is paved with blood, betrayal, and the ghosts of a war that refuses to stay buried. Will Nyx become the savior his people crave, or will his thirst for revenge consume him entirely?

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of an immortal vessel. Thus, through pain and flames, I forged it. "From death through flames, to life again, the Heavens will forge, an eternal man!" *** He was once but a man, a young one from Earth, a man that crossed over to another world. After a long string of both fortunate and unfortunate events, he was killed, only to be resurrected by the powers of a Phoenix. Gerald, in his eternal pursuit of power, went and joined a Sect of powerful Cultivators where he learned to properly use his newly gained magic powers in the unfamiliar world, and with a tiny compounding advantage, began to dominate his enemies. He pursued not strength, money, or women, though those too were gained along the way, instead, he craved a body to withstand and witness the end of the world. "What use is money without a long life to enjoy it? What use are the fancy sword techniques and mystic arts, if you can’t take a hit? How many mistakes can one make, before a mortal wound brings them down? It takes just one, and you never see it coming." *** Join, and follow the story of Gerald Fireborn as he explores his new world, pursuing immortality at any cost while avoiding succumbing to death for the second time.

Update: Mon, Wed, and Fri [Very Mature and Explicit Content] Amongst the battlefield of death and destruction, a lone warrior, her body ravaged by bone charring burns. Spirits of the recently dead drifted aimlessly, and hungry Burburus devoured both souls and body, sparing only the living and strong-willed. Yet, she found herself fixated on the Demon Lord, Ose, and the fact she is convinced he is in love with her. ... A vile smell rose from the brimstone red of blood and entrails that spilled from allies, foes, and those that were supposed to be protected. Hundreds of bodies blanketed the landscape of debris that was once a great city, wails and cries of the dying were heard over the strong winds, their hands wet as they tried to hold their own life in their wounds. If only she had more training to assist with their injuries, in the knighthood she was groomed for solely combat. The spirits of the recently dead roamed aimlessly, not yet aware they were dead and that they would meet true nonexistence if they were not to seek shelter from the real horror to come. A sense in Yin energy was coming from the vast distance, but she was distracted by the smell and sight of a battle that was truly ungodly; fitting for battles between there armies led by Demons. Above, she could see the sunlight having its own battle with thick clouds that were a profane-black with only a little light caressing her skin, deep as rich earth. The lack of sunlight only made her colder, and fortunately for her more impassive to her surroundings, or that could also be because of the fact that a large part of her body weren't charred until her bones were blackened. Her skin was covered in the soot of the nerves and flesh of her right arm, shoulder, and parts of her torso that were completely disintegrated. "Dammit, Ose," she thought bitterly, her frustration boiling within with each sharp breathe in her chest. "If it wasn't for your ridiculous obsession with me, I wouldn't be here--suffering in hell and then some." Ever since he first laid his eyes on her, she was convinced the Demon Lord had secretly fallen in love with her. The threaded sigil of his eyes that seemed to hold the magic of the aurora lights remained visible on the back of her uniform, though her body was barely there. In the name of her tormentor, the 'Great' Demon Lord Ose, she walked towards the edge of the battlefield.

The first six chapters are about MCs past life. It can avoided as it wouldn't have any effect at the beginning of the story. ---- In a room that is dimly lit not by an electric bulb but by an esoteric object. An infant about 6 months old lying in a cradle. Just by looking at him one could see clear traces of confusion in his face. 'What is this?...' He couldn't understand, as his memories are fuzzy, yet he realizes he knows things that he shouldn't know, things that didn't make sense, thinking in a language that he didn't even know the name of. In a magical world filled with esoteric flora and fauna where Magus, Weapon wielders and Martial artists reign, it's the story of a boy, Jayce, growing up trying to find a balance between his emotions and hyper-rational thinking he obtained from the 'knowledge' and 'awareness' he inherited as an infant, which forces him to analyze and decide everything in an overly rational manner.

In a world where unseen hands control the fates of nations, a figure only known as "the Lord" reigns supreme. From the darkness of his concealed fortress, the Lord commands an empire built on fear, manipulation, and death. His identity is a mystery, his reach endless—governments topple at his whisper, powerful families crumble with a single command. Those who dare to oppose him vanish without a trace. He is a master of the shadows, feared by all, but trusted by none. Sarah and Helena, two ordinary sisters, are suddenly plunged into this deadly world when they are marked for elimination by the most powerful families on earth. Unknown forces are closing in on them, and the Lord—cold, ruthless, and enigmatic—becomes their only hope for survival. But why? What is it about these sisters that draws the Lord’s obsessive protection, even as he destroys those who seek to harm them? As his lethal agents, including the hauntingly deadly Seraphine and the merciless Queens, execute his commands without question, the sisters begin to realize that they are mere pieces in a much larger game—one that stretches back decades and is laced with vengeance, betrayal, and hidden horrors. The Lord’s web of power is unraveling, and the enemies lurking in the shadows are closing in fast. In a relentless storm of betrayal, intrigue, and violent retribution, the Lord’s hidden empire begins to fracture as ghosts from his past emerge. His connection to the sisters is far deeper than even he cares to admit, and as layers of secrecy peel away, Sarah and Helena must confront a terrifying truth: they are tied to the Lord’s darkest, most painful secrets, and the world they thought they knew is built on blood-soaked lies. Every move they make is watched, every decision a potential trap. And in the dead of night, a hidden force even more terrifying than the Lord stirs—an ancient power that threatens to consume them all. In a game where loyalty shifts like quicksand, and where every step could lead to unimaginable peril, the sisters must decide whether to trust the man who holds their lives in his hands… or face annihilation at the hands of an unstoppable, unseen enemy. But nothing is what it seems, and the Lord’s true motives are more chilling than they ever imagined. As the final pieces fall into place, the lines between savior and monster blur. The Lord’s empire teeters on the edge of collapse, and with enemies closing in from every side, one question remains: can Sarah and Helena survive the storm brewing around them, or will the Lord’s past drag them all into oblivion? In a pulse-pounding tale of relentless suspense and heart-stopping action, every shadow hides a deadly secret, and every moment is a fight to stay alive.
