Ironclad Steamship

In the mystical realm of Eldoria, a world nestled beneath the great, towering peaks of the Silverthorn Mountains, ancient secrets and untold magic thrive. The inhabitants of Eldoria, a vibrant tapestry of humans, elves, and dwarves, live in harmony, drawing their strength from the enchanted ley lines that flow beneath the earth. However, a tremor has disturbed the peace—a rift has opened, casting dark shadows over the once untouched valleys. The story follows Aric, a young cartographer with dreams of exploring the world beyond his village of Lynwood. Fascinated by the legends surrounding the Silverthorn Mountains, he often finds himself daydreaming about the hidden wonders that lie below their snow-capped summits. One fateful evening, while mapping the hidden caverns that surround Lynwood, he stumbles upon a hidden entrance that leads him deep into the heart of the mountains. As Aric descends into the cavernous world below, he discovers a realm of luminescent flora and fauna that thrive in the subterranean light. Here, he meets Althea, a spirited elf with an affinity for nature, who guards the ancient knowledge kept within this hidden sanctuary. Together, they uncover the truth about the rift—a sinister force known as the Umbral Shadow has emerged, seeking to erode the natural balance of Eldoria. As Aric and Althea venture deeper into this enchanted world, they encounter mythical creatures: wise old dragons that breathe magic instead of fire, mischievous sprites that can shift forms, and ancient guardians bound to protect the secrets of their realm. With each friendship forged and challenge faced, Aric learns the value of courage, friendship, and the importance of preserving the harmony of nature. The journey intensifies as rumors spread of the Umbral Shadow rallying its forces in an attempt to harness the ley lines for its own dark purposes. Aric must rally the inhabitants of Eldoria, bridging the divides between the different races. With Althea by his side, they inspire the dwarves of Ironclad Forge and the elves of Silverleaf Hollow to stand against the impending doom. In a climactic showdown, the heroes confront the Umbral Shadow in the Crystal Cavern, where the ley lines converge. Using their newfound alliances and the ancient magic of the land, Aric and Althea lead a united front to reclaim their world. In the throes of battle, Aric realizes that the map he has been creating is not merely a guide to the land, but a tapestry woven with the fates of all its inhabitants. Ultimately, the power of unity, courage, and hope triumphs over darkness. As the rift closes and peace is restored, Aric emerges from the mountains, his heart filled with a sense of purpose. He returns to Lynwood, not just as a cartographer, but as a hero destined to share the wonders and stories of Eldoria with generations to come. Friendship, unity, courage, the balance of nature, and the importance of understanding one another across differences. In "Below the Mountain," adventure beckons under the earth, and young heroes discover that true magic lies not only in power but in the bonds we forge along the way.

Hell is empty and all the devils are here. Shakespeare – [The Tempest] VOLUME 1 Status: Completed (260 chapters) As a form of punishment for mistakenly killing an innocent civilian, Song Zhuyu, a priest and part-time exorcist, found himself exiled to the distant shores of Shenci Island, hundreds of miles away from his hometown and the only city he had ever known his whole life. However, unbeknownst to anyone, he harbored a secret agenda— to hunt down the culprit who had turned his life upside down. Fully prepared for meeting danger at every turn, what he encountered instead was a beautiful, serene island, albeit with two strange ironclad rules: First, do not climb the hill after 1 AM. Second, do not interact with Rui Ye. On the first night of his stay, Song Zhuyu broke two of the taboos, only to discover that the infamous Rui Ye was nothing like he had expected. “I am cursed,” the blind, beautiful man told him with a wistful smile. “If you associate yourself with me, the curse will haunt you too.” In response, Song Zhuyu’s lips hooked into a careless smile, “I don’t think you have to worry about that. I, myself, am cursed as well. What’s the big deal about adding another one?” But as inexplicable deaths began to plague the island, Song Zhuyu realized that the island, including the helpless and soft-hearted Rui Ye he had come to know, held a far darker secret than he could've ever imagined. In a race against time, he must navigate the treacherous waters of deceit and betrayal to unravel the island’s sinister truth and achieve his goal before it's too late. *** Pretty, flirtatious yet heartless priest gong x blind, mysterious and cursed shou VOLUME 2 Status: To be written How does it feel to love a fallen angel?

Gray World is dominated by the will of Gods and thrives under the control of iron gears and steam. It is a place where faith is not a passive devotion but a currency—traded, bought, and sold by churches that wield their gods' influence as weapons. It is a place where value is absolute, value is everything, shaping every belief and controlling every life. Run by ironclad reign of Church of Steel, every life here reeks of smoke and decay, while the Church of Sacrifice whispers promises of salvation through pain and sacrifice. Yet, amidst this ever existing Gods of sacrifice, iron, and decay, a new God descends—one who was once known as The Faceless One, God of Confusion, Keeper of secrets, Messiah of messengers by en masse: the God of Fiction. God of Fiction, Ashur, reincarnates after dying by the wiles of God of Sacrifice and others. Unlike other gods, Ashur, does not demand worship through suffering or material devotion. Instead, he brings something far more dangerous: the ability to weave fantasies into existence, to blur the line between fiction and reality. "Is fiction not a truth waiting to be realized?" Whispers spread among the people—rumors of a church that doesn't preach, of a god who offers not suffering but something far more seductive: choice. They speak of dreams too vivid to be mere illusions and realities that seem to bend to their imaginations. What is fiction, if not another form of reality? When the masses begin to believe, does belief not shape the world itself? As his own proclamation goes— [To not exist does not mean one truly does not exist, for to be known is also a form of existence.] ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ [This book has been dropped] [If you want to read something after it, I would recommend, “Death Game: Beyond Reality“]

Deep beneath the ironclad surface of New Babel, Kazelle—once a venerated Vampire King—rises from a slumber enforced by dark sorcery. With the resounding clang of the clockwork spire striking the midnight hour, he awakens not to the rise of Gorron as the cult intended, but to a world poised on the brink of eternal darkness. Kazelle emerges from the veil of death into an era where steam reigns supreme, and eldritch magic intertwines with pistons and gears. Betrayed by Visceris, the Apostate, Kazelle finds his throne stolen, his power usurped, and his kin divided between loyalty and fear. Fractured memories flicker in Kazelle's mind like the ever-present gas lamps that cast their dim glow upon the cobblestoned streets of a city teetering between order and anarchy. Yet clarity ascends as the night calls to him, and a resolute purpose ignites within his immortal heart—to stop the cult's grim ritual, to crush the rising tide of Gorron’s malevolence, and to reclaim his blood-stained crown.

As everyone's attention shifted to the clock, its hands inching towards 12, a sudden and unexpected darkness swept over the room. A strange, otherworldly voice echoed through the engulfing shadows, "This will be fun." And in that moment, everything changed. ... "Let's see, for you... what about a game of chess?" the skeleton proposed, its voice a strange blend of ageless wisdom and playful mischief. ... "The world is filled with uncertainties and choices," the skeleton began, its voice echoing softly in the void. "They intertwine in a beautiful, complex way – not entirely random, but not predetermined either. You're not completely free, yet not entirely a prisoner. To simplify... or perhaps complicate things, I'm setting you humans in a game. A vast game, by your standards. The 'why' of this game is for you to uncover, as is its objective." ... “You’ve pondered it, but the true scope of this Game is beyond your wildest imagination…” A brief pause punctuated its point, “You are simply too limited in your current state to grasp its magnitude,” it continued. “No matter what strategy you devise, what concept you conjure, or what combination you dream up, anything within the realm of human creation or conception, even with your stats boosted a thousandfold, will not even remotely approach the complexity of the Game.” ... "Your efforts may finally prove beneficial, Alice," her mother continued, her tone shifting as she broached a subject heavy with implications. "We have received an offer of marriage on your behalf. Richard, the Count's second son, has shown interest." ... In the quiet, she schemed, her influence extending unseen through whispered words and carefully planted ideas. Her musings occasionally ventured to whether it was sight that rendered others so blissfully unaware of the deeper currents of life, or if she, endowed with an extraordinary mind amidst her physical limitations, was an anomaly in a world too shallow to fathom her depths. ... From the outset, Dante had committed to a journey that demanded sacrifices far greater than physical loss; he had forsaken the allure of the limelight to embrace the obscurity of the shadows, foregoing the direct thrill of wielding magic and superhuman abilities. The true terror for Dante lay in the possibility of anything derailing him from reaching the zenith of The Game. His resolve was ironclad, driven by an insatiable curiosity to discover what lay at the pinnacle. ... Maybe, just maybe, her times of boredom were over. *** What's in store with “A Tale of Fate, Choices & Summons, Vol. 1: The Summoner’s Gambit"? -Heavy on game elements and progression. -A slow burn with precise conciseness throughout the story. -Multiple POVs with two main characters. -A new concept for a necromancer... sorry, an undead summoner like you've never seen! -Laughs, because who doesn't need a giggle? -Characters that grow on you, literally. -Enlightenment typical of the wuxia-style. -Kingdom management. *Updates each two days, with chapters of 2000+ words. *For extra chapters check: patreon.com/Wavequill

Selene Draven was once the most feared assassin in the Ironclad Kingdom, a master of shadows who answered only to the king’s command. But when her family is butchered, and she’s framed for their murder, her world crumbles.

Betrayal is inevitable. Love is dangerous. And vengeance...vengeance is everything. Excerpt: Selene's hand ran down his abdomen, he cocked his head to the right, "Are you here to kill me or seduce me?" "How about both? I mean...a girl do have needs." she bit her lips leaning close enough, their lips were just inches apart. Her other hand moved in a flash, pressing a blade against his inner thigh, just inches from his manhood. He tensed, but the grin on his lips didn’t falter. “You’re playing a dangerous game, Selene, careful where you aim that thing.” “Careful?” she echoed, “You’re the one who’s unarmed, Your Majesty. Maybe you should be the careful one.”
