Antes del tiempo y la materia, cuando todo lo conocido no existía, habitaban los Creadores, seres eternos nacidos de una paradoja: fuerzas naturales que crearon su propia existencia. Dotados de poder infinito, ideas ilimitadas y una ausencia total de malicia, los Creadores dieron forma a lo que ahora entendemos como la realidad. Con una fuente infinita de materia y creatividad, comenzaron su obra titánica: la creación de infinitos universos. Cuando la materia se agotó, tomaron una decisión radical: concentrar todo en una esfera perfecta, más pequeña que un alfiler pero con una masa infinita. Este acto de perfección culminó en una explosión que dividió la existencia en trece universos primordiales, cada uno con su propia expansión y leyes, regidos por dioses designados por los Creadores. En su obra más ambiciosa, los Creadores forjaron las almas, entidades imperfectas con la capacidad de perfeccionarse a través de un ciclo interminable de vida, muerte y purificación. Aunque cargadas de emociones, las almas tienen el potencial de alcanzar la perfección mediante su reintegración al gran ciclo universal. Mientras las emociones se derraman como residuos imperfectos, las almas inconscientemente crean nuevos mundos, perpetuando la expansión del cosmos. Sin embargo, todo está destinado a un final: un colapso inevitable donde los trece universos convergerán, destruyendo toda la materia. De este fin surgirá nuevamente la nada, el hogar eterno de los Creadores, donde ellos continuarán su obra sin fin, un ciclo eterno de creación y destrucción que jamás se repetirá pero tampoco tendrá un desenlace definitivo. "La Leyenda de los Creadores" es una reflexión sobre el infinito, la perfección y la búsqueda constante de significado en un universo sin límites, donde cada imperfección y cada ciclo forman parte de un diseño mayor que trasciende el entendimiento humano.

¿Quién quiere ser presidente? La historia trata sobre cómo la gente puede intentar derrocar a un dictador de una manera bastante inusual y poco convencional. Después de todo, cualquier idea se manifiesta en un momento determinado y designado. Las ideas -cuya hora ha llegado- tienen un poder enorme. La gente conoce y utiliza la magia desde tiempos inmemoriales. Todos los rituales mágicos se basan en fuerzas sobrenaturales, inmateriales, incomprensibles y, por tanto, aún no reconocidas por la ciencia. Los fenómenos y habilidades mágicos y paranormales tienen mucho en común, ya que utilizan fuerzas y factores que no pueden explicarse científicamente. Todos los seres vivos y las personas no son sólo cuerpos materiales. Hay algo en ellos además de materia y, por tanto, son capaces de percibir lo que está más allá del mundo físico. Casi siempre, para que aparezca algo fresco, nuevo y mejor, lo viejo y podrido debe ser destruido y quemado. El fuego es un símbolo de cambio, transformación y renacimiento. El elemento Fuego funciona en el centro de todas las cosas: todo vino de él y todo volverá a él.

None is more renowned or famous then Ruby. The only thing more amazing and incredible than her accomplishments and accolades are the circumstances of her disappearing after entering the highest difficulty dungeon that is known. Most fear that she has perished and most other well known adventurers have avoided the dungeon entirely. There is a scholar that had been researching Ruby for a compendium of dungeon information.

Following the advent of essence into the world of Aramor, mankind struggled to stay alive as vicious beasts and powerful demons threatened to wipe them out entirely. As humanity was pushed close to extinction, a select few were able to grasp the essence that had brought this change to their world and awaken what came to be called their Systems. These System Bearers pulled humanity back from the brink and forged a delicate balance, though no side was willing to bear the risk to break it. This story follows Charles Martel, a millennium after those first System Bearers saved mankind, as tensions slowly rise and hidden undercurrents are slowly brought to the surface.

``` [ Advertencia: Contenido para Adultos ] —Harper, deja de desnudarme con la mirada. La trama no va por ahí... TODAVÍA. Harper McKenzie, una novelista novata de novelas web, tiene un problema: le cuesta escribir escenas románticas. Como alguien con una experiencia casi inexistente en la materia en la vida real, no consigue plasmar la química íntima adecuadamente, y esos capítulos siempre salen secos y vergonzosos. Afortunadamente para ella, Harper encuentra un(a) editor(a) independiente dispuesto a trabajar en su escritura. Pero, ¿la sorpresa? Ese(a) editor(a) resulta ser su amigo de la infancia y su primer flechazo de la vida. ¿Qué sucede ahora cuando él le ofrece lecciones personales sobre cómo escribir el romance más candente... y escenas de amor? -------------- Nota: esta es una historia divertida, acogedora y dulce con una trama de bajo drama. Sin triángulos amorosos, sin malentendidos, sin pérdidas de memoria / accidentes de coche / enfermedades terminales / etc. Abundan los contenidos maduros, empezando de manera suave pero calentándose rápidamente. ¡Estás advertido! -------------- Avance: Deslizó su sujetador por sus hombros y, con un trabajo imposiblemente rápido y hábil, ató la prenda de encaje alrededor de sus muñecas. —Abre más las piernas —ordenó. El ya vacilante corazón de Harper se paralizó aún más. El mando en su tono era extranjero, pero la embargaba como una ola de calor, y aunque apenas podía imaginar lo lasciva que debía lucir, con las manos atadas y los muslos abiertos como un ofrecimiento a ser devorada, podía sentir la ardiente necesidad enrollándose más y más caliente en su interior. Su cuerpo obedecía ansiosamente por su propia cuenta, abriéndose completamente tal y como le habían dicho. Eli sonrió. Moviendo entre sus piernas, dejó besos ardientes a lo largo de su muslo interior, dejando pequeñas llamas crepitantes a su paso. —Buena chica. Ahora, ¿qué debería decir tu personaje a continuación? —Un dedo se deslizó sobre su carne húmeda y deseosa en un suave y resbaladizo roce, haciéndole el corazón detenerse por completo mientras un gemido se le escapaba—. Escribe la siguiente línea para mí, ¿qué debería decir antes de desnudarte con mi lengua y hacerte gritar mi nombre? ```
