Barter Fnv

Soul Trade

In the shadowy realm of magic and destiny, there exists a tale that defies all conventional understanding - the story of Aeburt, a young man once branded as the most worthless, most idiotic individual in the magical world. What can a soul truly purchase when bartered to a demon? Is it: Breathtaking beauty? Raw, unbridled power? Immeasurable wealth? Absolute dominion? Or something far more complex and mysterious? Imagine a world where a single soul trade could transform the very fabric of existence. Aeburt, once considered utterly talentless, makes a pact that would shake the foundations of reality itself. Miraculously, the most extraordinary beings begin to gravitate towards him: A mesmerizing Medusa Queen, whose gaze could petrify entire armies The continent's most infamous first traitor A dark genius of magic whose very name made kingdoms tremble These legendary figures - each powerful beyond mortal comprehension - inexplicably find themselves drawn into the orbit of this once-dismissed "waste" of a human. The question burns like wildfire: Can such a person still be called a "waste"? This is not merely a story of revenge or power. It is an epic of transformation, of a nobody ascending to become the ultimate somebody. A tale that challenges everything humanity believes about potential, destiny, and the true price of ambition. When Aeburt sold his soul, he didn't just acquire power - he unleashed a force that would rewrite the very laws of magic and fate. The Soul Trade begins. A legend is born. The world will never be the same.

Cast Under Ellitis

Ellitis, a world of sword and magic. Massive in size, with most of its surface unexplored. Where dragons and spirits dwell amongst men and demi-humans, where gods and devils alike barter with mortals and immortals. Beautiful as it might seem, mystical even, Ellitis is not a world for the frail. It is a place where the strong prey upon the weak, and where the weak struggle with every fiber of their being to overthrow the strong. It is here, in an unsuspecting corner of this world, that an unfortunate soul was born an orphan by the mischief of beings untold. Eliot Wyon, formerly known as Eliot Alderman, was just a mediocre engineering student in his past life. Perhaps without any help, this life of his will be just as boring as his last. But throw in an impish ex-goddess to help him along. Maybe, just maybe, he could make this life a bit more interesting. I guess, we’d just have to wait and see. **Author's Note** Hello Everyone, I am Vi, Cat Vi. This is my first attempt at writing a story. I am a complete beginner at this. The closest thing to an organized story I’ve ever written is essay reports back in high school. There might be syntax errors and weird language all over the place. So, apologies in advance. I’ll be trying my best to make this story as interesting as possible, and with your feedback I am sure I can make something nice out of it. Constructive criticism is appreciated. And you are welcome to comment any errors you might notice. I’ll try to fix them up as soon as I can. For now, I don’t have a schedule. But if the story gets traction, I will try to work something out. **Cover Image Drawn by me.

The Crimson Reckoning: A Tale of the Bloody Knight

In the dark and hushed corridors of a medieval world, shadows conceal the tale of 'The Crimson Reckoning: A Tale of the Bloody Knight.' Born from the blood-soaked fabric of a young man's life, the story unfolds in the heart of a realm steeped in chaos and intrigue. The protagonist, a forgotten son bartered away by desperate villagers, emerges as the Bloody Knight—a malevolent force reveling in the cacophony of carnage. As the knight navigates the brutal battlefield, a macabre ballet of death and madness unfolds around him. His lethal sword style, honed in the crucible of survival, distinguishes him as a tactician and strategist. However, love remains elusive in the arid desert of his existence, shielded by the armor that guards his soul. Thrust into nobility by a king who sees utility in his madness, the Bloody Knight faces scorn from courtiers. Sent to a knight school for the nobility, he grapples with the clash of steel and the etiquette of the elite. The king's dangerous gambit sends him on missions that flirt with death, leaving scars etched into his flesh like a map of suffering. Yet, as the knight trains and battles, a linguistic tapestry unfolds, blending the harsh consonants of German into his narrative. Whispers of 'Blutiger Ritter' follow him—an authentic translation of the Bloody Knight that resonates through the annals of war. In a chessboard of morality, the Bloody Knight plays by his rules, indifferent to the fate of hostages who face swift demise. The narrative paints a dark journey where the boundaries between sanity and chaos blur in the shadows of a world gripped by the unrelenting claws of war. 'The Crimson Reckoning' invites readers to explore a fantasy realm where madness, survival, and the dance of death shape the destiny of a deranged knight.

World's Greatest Con-Artist

Within the sprawling expanse of Veridona, a city where towering skyscrapers cast their gleaming reflections across the more obscure corners of society, resides a youthful man known as Bramwell Thatcher. Possessing an exceptionally astute intellect, an insatiable thirst for understanding, and an unwavering courage, Bramwell's existence takes an unforeseen twist as he becomes entranced by the art of perfect imitation. However, this captivation leads him deep into a perilous realm inhabited by vigilantes, criminal syndicates, and the concealed underbelly of illicit activities. Bramwell's odyssey commences innocently enough, yet with an underlying shade of malevolence, as he immerses himself in the works of masterful tricksters and skillfully duplicates their feats with a disconcerting precision. Nevertheless, his unyielding pursuit of this fascination guides him into the enigmatic domain of art forgery and shadowy sciences, where his adeptness draws the attention of both malefactors and law enforcement alike. Although his motivations are rooted in a genuine yearning for knowledge, Bramwell swiftly discovers himself entangled within a hazardous tapestry of deception, enigma, and power struggles. As he navigates this precarious trajectory, Bramwell forges unforeseen bonds with a consortium of individuals who evolve into his most intimate confidants and comrades. Among them stands Orion, a soldier shrouded in mystery but possessing brilliance and an unwavering sense of justice, and Rafael, a virtuoso hacker in search of redemption. Together, they assemble an improbable alliance of vigilantes with the aim of unveiling corruption and ushering in justice within a city besieged by criminality. Nonetheless, Bramwell's pursuit of mastering his craft exacts a steep toll. The further he immerses himself in the underworld, the more he finds himself coerced into compromising his ethical principles. He becomes embroiled in agreements with notorious criminal enterprises, bartering favors for intelligence, and even resorting to actions he once deemed inconceivable. As the demarcation between right and wrong becomes increasingly indistinct, Bramwell grapples with his own moral compass and the repercussions of his choices. As tensions soar, Bramwell's aspiration for supremacy intensifies, driven by the conviction that conquering imitation will furnish him with the prowess to confront the encircling darkness. However, power is not attained without sacrifice, and Bramwell's relationships are put through the crucible. As concealed truths surface and allegiances are stretched to their limits, Bramwell must confront the genuine essence of his fixation and the reverberations it imparts upon those he holds dear. In a climactic showdown that shatters the foundations of Veridona's subterranean criminal network, Bramwell must confront the aftermath of his actions and the enigmatic forces that aim to harness his talents. While he battles for his own redemption and the well-being of his comrades, Bramwell discovers that authentic mastery is not achieved through emulation, but by forging a path distinctly his own. "The World's Greatest Con-Artist" weaves a spellbinding narrative of aspiration, camaraderie, and the enigmatic borderland between illumination and obscurity. Bramwell's voyage through a realm populated by vigilantes, criminal organizations, and enigmas forces him to grapple with his inner demons and uncover the true essence of potency and selfhood.
