King Niklaus Mikaelson, a name that resonated with both fear and reverence across the Mythralian Peninsula, was a figure shrouded in a dark, commanding aura. His reputation as the most ruthless and strongest ruler had been etched into the annals of history through countless conquests and acts of sheer dominance. The Kingdom of Emberlyn, his seat of power, had become a formidable force under his iron-fisted rule, expanding relentlessly as he sought to unite the entire peninsula beneath his banner. Niklaus was a man who wielded authority like a weapon, his charisma a tool for bending others to his will. To the world, he was the epitome of power and allure, the man every woman desired and every rival feared. Yet, beneath his striking exterior and regal bearing lay a darkness as deep and unyielding as the obsidian blade he kept sheathed at his side. In the resplendent Kingdom of Aquarion, where the gentle whispers of the wind and the serene beauty of the landscape paint a portrait of tranquility, Princess Emily Wilson stands as a luminous enigma. As the eldest and middle daughter of King Wilson, Emily is a figure both revered and shrouded in mystery, a living legend whose beauty is spoken of in hushed, reverent tones. Emily’s physical beauty is legendary, though it remains largely unseen by the world beyond her family. Her rare blue eyes, deep and mesmerizing, are said to capture the essence of the sky and the sea, reflecting a depth of emotion and intelligence that transcends mere appearance. Her blonde hair, a cascade of sunlit strands, frames her face with a halo of ethereal light, adding to her mystique. To those who have glimpsed her, Emily is a vision of unparalleled grace, a princess whose beauty is as captivating as it is elusive. Yet, Emily’s allure extends far beyond her physical appearance. She embodies a unique blend of wisdom, strength, and purity, qualities that make her a formidable presence in her kingdom. Her wisdom is profound, her decisions guided by an insight that belies her years. She approaches her role with a sense of purpose and clarity, balancing the weight of her responsibilities with the grace of a true leader.

Blood was splattered everywhere, while rotting corpses are littered and limping on the spacious red ground.

Then he sheath his sharp swords, pointing at the figure that are now beyond abomination.

Consuming lifespan to infuse martial arts, you can deduce it infinitely. Shen Yi's mortal body has a lifespan of no more than a hundred years, but fortunately he can obtain the remaining lifespan of the other party by killing demons. In the chaotic world full of evil spirits, he showed his long sword, which made these creatures who had lived for thousands of years feel heartbroken! From [Eagle Claw] to [Eight Desolations Breaking the Sky Hand], from [Demon Subduing Fist] to [Golden Body Prison Dharma]! Shen Yi would occasionally ponder, why is this lifespan increasing the more he uses it? He sheathed his sword and looked up at the sky. He heard that there was a Jade Palace of the Sky above the clouds, which was filled with thousands of saints, and any one of them had experienced endless years. This time, I came to the sky just to borrow a million years from the immortals to prove my immortality.

Will she be able to escape from his clutches and make it home in time to help her mother, or will she find herself falling deeper into the elven world he introduces her to? [ COMPLETED ] *** SNEAK PEAK *** [ MATURE CONTENT ] "Do you know what we do to thief's here, Evanna?" She placed her fork of meat down on the plate soundlessly, her attention still on the king. Evanna subconsciously held onto the knife still. "No, your highness," Evanna replied politely. The king glanced at the prince, and she followed his gaze. "We chop off their hands," The prince finished. Evanna watched and pulled her hand back in time for the prince's knife to slam into the table where her hand was placed. She gasped; another hand had been stabbed, sticking them to the wood. A loud yelp sounded from behind her. Within a flash, the prince stood up, pulled a sword out from his side, and swung it down on the man's wrist, dismembering the hand from his body. Blood squirted out and coated the table before her, along with her plate of food. The man fell back, wailing and holding his wrist. Evanna watched in shock as the guards came forwards and dragged him away. She looked back at the prince, who was wiping his blade with a handkerchief nonchalantly before sheathing it. Her attention was brought back to the king, who continued to eat as though nothing had happened. "Just remember that the next time you wish to steal from us." The king said lightly as he relaxed his cutlery and stared at Evanna, "You may be my son's new plaything, dressed up to look pretty, but do not fool yourself into thinking that he will release you once he is bored of you. You took something of great importance to him." ------------------- DISCLAIMER: *MATURE CONTENT* Graphic Violence Strong Language Sexual Content Attempted Rape *This is a slow burn book and is still ongoing* ----------------- Book Cover Design: I own the book cover so please do not use it :) Artwork illustrated by @if.__art Graphic design done by @katielord.designs Both found on Instagram^^ ------------------- Support me on Instagram: @kelly_starrz or join me on discord where you can chat to me/ ask questions: Kelly_Starrz#5020 Discord server: https://discord.gg/MHMdRRqUYa --------------------

Wan Jie opened his eyes and found himself in a lush, green forest. "Where am I?" he wondered aloud. The last thing he remembered was staying up late at night playing his favorite MMORPG, Dragon Realm Online. He had just reached level 100 on his swordsman character when suddenly his screen went black and he passed out. Now, as he looked around, he realized he was literally inside the game world. His clothes had changed to robe-like garments, and at his waist was a sheathed sword. Testing it out, he drew the blade and saw it glimmer in the sunlight filtering through the canopy overhead. Suddenly, a notification popped up in front of him: [Welcome, Host! You have been randomly selected for transmigration into the Dragon Realm Online game world. Your identity will be Wan Jie, a low-level swordsman. Additionally, you have been granted access to the Modification System shop.] "Modification System shop?" Wan Jie muttered. Curious, he opened up the interface and saw a list of options, from skills to items to cosmetic changes. A sly smile crossed his face as he realized the implications of this. If he was now literally inside the game world, with the ability to modify himself, he could become the most powerful swordsman that ever existed here! "Time to cause some chaos," Wan Jie chuckled to himself. Cracking his knuckles, he opened up the Modification System and started planning out how to best optimize his character build. This was going to be fun!

Two magnificent beings faced eachother, one was a large dragon and the other a being bearing two pairs of golden wings, he stood noticeably taller than the dragons head, obviously not a human nor human sized. "Are you so threatened by my existence that you forget the fact you currently face a 12 year old child with such killing intent" said the smug huge red dragon with deep crimson flames all over it's body. On one of his fingers spun an orb like object, but if one were to observe even further you'd come to realise what spun atop his finger was creation itself. "Forgive me, but on this day I shall erase the greatest mistake in Creation......and my shame along with it" The Winged being opposite the dragon took in a deep breath as he suppressed the incredible ocean of guilt dwelling inside his heart and shakily pulled his sword from it's sheath. "For as The Lord God commands it, so shall it be done" he spoke underneath his breath as the words gave him a newfound determination and his sword was set ablaze by the purest golden flame in all of existence. . . . . . . . . . . . "What a joke". –The Archangel Michael had just made the greatest mistake in creation, a being so unnatural it threatens the plan itself. Given one final chance by God he is forced to take his sword against his creation and bring it down before it fully matures and becomes nigh-unstoppable. And so the Great beast of domination and Heavens greatest warrior clashed. Authors note: A little bit of a small introduction to my story and what to expect. This is a very daring story which mixes multiple universes of power. Cultivation, Sci-fi, Magic, Super powers and gods. Also expect some faithful to canon Religious and mythological references here but I will take some liberties as what I write is not the original canon itself after all. This is just the story of an author who loves these concepts and prays that he's able to not mess up badly. So I do hope you enjoy the story I'm about to write, and I really do hope I'm good enough to keep you hooked to the end, God willing I have the determination, skills and inspiration to do so. Thanks for reading my slightly longer than intended little summary.

"You would kill me". Soraya said, holding the sword at her neck. Vanek didn't answer and instead sheathed his sword and walked away. "War over the golden throne has begun and you golden snakes and flowers can't remain neutral in this". Vanek said. "Tarkesh shall decide even if you don't want to".

Elliciara awoke with a start to the sound of screaming. As she sat up, her attention was caught by tiny points of flying lights winking into life in the sky. Her eyes followed it as it flew into the air as one, arcing silently, gracefully up and over like comets. The arcane missiles of magics came to earth quickly, and struck the buildings with an ear-splitting explosions. Elliciara hastened downstairs, and pushed out into the freezing winds of the night. Her eyes fell upon corpses, most of them were elemental wielders, fallen in the place where they had made a stand. As she was rooted from her spot, a man approached her with a wicked-looking dagger. Elliciara gasped and began to tremble, as the man moved towards her, drawing his weapon from its sheath. He grabbed a fistful of her hair, and brought the blade up to her throat. Elliciara cried out a stream of high-pitched pleading of words, and suddenly, the man sliced the dagger swiftly across her throat severing her windpipe with one brutal cut. Elliciara dropped to the ground, curled in agony in a pool of her own spreading blood. Years passed. The land where the raid had been fought lay empty and lifeless, but elemental magics, frozen bloods and corpses gathered to where Elliciara's remains. She has been reborn as an ascended being of the coldest winter, an embodiment of a never-ending frost and magics. She could recall words of forgotten arcane spells, the true power of ice and the agony of hundreds mortal deaths. Though Elliaciara past lifetimes have faded from her memory, she knows her purpose: she must revenge her clan at all costs.

The blood on the sword brought silence to the masses. They watched in horror as the last royal took his final breath and with it a part of themselves. It's over.  The obelisk glowed as Shakka sheathed the blade. It'd taken centuries, but everything he'd set out to accomplish was in his hands.  Yes, the sacrifice was great, but it would not be in vain. For every drop of royal blood spilled, Shakka would change the world to fulfill everything it should be. "Hear me!" He yells. "The royals are gone, the thrones chained, and the crowns destroyed." On that day, magic started dying. Humans forgot their true nature and their connection to the rest of the world. Until it was all myth and fantasy. A dream no one was willing to admit they shared. Shakka created one kingdom under his rule and excluded humanity from it, deeming them unworthy of the gift of the truth. The thrones are chained, and the obelisk stands as a reminder that being born royal is a crime punished by death and that Shakka will know the second it comes to pass. Or so he thinks. Ashari Atreanous, the youngest son of dragon lord Nerva, has grown up like everyone else. In the dying era of Shakka's rule. His father, the lord of the north, is loyal to the king and claims Shakka's actions were necessary for the survival of their kind. Sheltered in the wilderness of his homeland Alaska, Ash craves to discover what the world is like. But, his family's strange obsession with keeping him hidden makes that difficult. From the day he was born, Michael Branker has been destined to become the next alpha of the Agantagv pack.

10th Mountain Division, one of three divisions in the entirety of the Canto Empire's military known as the Rangers, is an elite unit that chose selectively from their infantry. And it was the consensus that out of the three divisions of Rangers, 10th Mountain was the best; every single one of their soldiers was fearless. And for a good reason, the Ranger motto was 'these things we do, so that others may live,' and every single one of their members took that seriously; in whatever major battle, they could be seen on the frontlines leading the charge. This led to the infamous joke that a Ranger's life could be measured in minutes; the average squad had a 68% fatality rate in their first year. An officer strode along the line of Rangers, his white square patch on his shoulder standing out on the black uniforms, identifying him as a captain. "Read! Ready!" the veins on the officer's neck stood up taut like whipcords as he screamed at the top of his lungs. Gyun's leg twitched in anticipation before he nodded to the captain; looking back at his squad; he tapped his helmet. "Check, check," pointing at the ropes attached to their waist; the ropes led to a nail that was driven into the ground. "Check" "Check" "Check" As all 9 of his squad members affirmed their equipment one last time, Gyun took a deep breath; feeling his sword, he took a step, peering down the cliff face to the Aegean Fortress below; it couldn't have been less than a 200-meter drop straight down to the ground outside the wall. Swallowing the fear in his throat, he stepped back, feeling his sword at his hip he gripped the handle tight. Glancing across the line of Ranger squadrons, the air was silent, and the sounds of nature permeated the silence, starkly contrasting to the captain's voice that had screamed at the top of his lungs just moments prior. The captain stood at the ledge, the rope coiled at his feet as he looked over the cliff face, pulling his sword from its sheath; in one hand his sword reflected the noon sunlight; in the other hand was the flag of 10th Mountain, a Mountain with a skull at the top, it symbolized the identity of the 10th Mountain; all eyes were on the captain's back, including Gyun's. "Helmets on!" With the sound of the helmets being pushed down, the line of scared faces of the rangers disappeared, replaced by faceless steel helmets with slits to peer through; Gyun shoved the helmet down over his head. The hot steel helmet was hot and stuffy and narrowed his view but it felt comforting to Gyun on some level, even though the helmet offered little in terms of protection from any sort of Qi-enhanced attack. "Ra! Ra! Ra! Ra!" The chant started with the captain, but soon the rest of the rangers followed; the shouts would attract the attention of the fortress spotters, but it was meant to. They were tasked with distracting and, if possible, taking the Southern Wall and opening the defensive fortress for the rest of the 2nd legion to assault the walls. "RAAANNNNNGGGEEERRRRSSS!!" The Captain screamed swinging the flag of the 10th Mountain. "Ra! Ra! Ra! Ra! Ra!" The chants echoed from the top of the cliff, A horn resounded from the fortress below, and shouts could be heard from below the cliff face as the fortress soldiers rushed to man defensive positions against the incoming attack. "WHAT DO WE DO?!" "WE WIN!!!" Taking a sharp inhale the captain turned back to the fortress below, "ON MY ORDER!!!!" "Ra! Ra! Ra!" The chants persisted; Gyun pounded his armored chest, chanting, taking deep breaths, trying not to show the cold sweat running down his back or the hairs standing up on the back of his neck. "GO!" The captain desperately swung the flag, Gyun's legs stopped bouncing in nervousness. Swallowing his fear, he sprinted before jumping off the cliff face; the wind whipped past him, his vision blurring, time seemed to slow, and Gyun could hear the blood pumping through his body.
