Chronicles of Hearts and Horizon

Synopsis of "Chronicles of Hearts and Horizon" The story begins in a world where magic intertwines with the tangible, and ancient ruins hold the forgotten secrets of past civilizations. "Chronicles of Hearts and Horizon" follows the journey of two unlikely companions—Elara, a skilled treasure hunter, and Alden, a brooding warrior—whose paths cross in a mysterious, enchanted forest, setting them on a dangerous quest to unearth a powerful artifact, the Heartstone, hidden within the ruins of an ancient civilization. Elara is no stranger to danger. Her reputation as a fearless treasure hunter precedes her, known across the lands for her ability to navigate perilous terrains and decipher ancient languages. She is driven by a singular obsession: to find the Heartstone, an artifact said to possess the power to alter the course of history. The artifact, shrouded in mystery, is said to be capable of granting its wielder unimaginable power, but at the cost of one’s soul. The Heartstone is believed to be locked away deep within the ruins of the Temple of Eternity, a place that few have dared to enter, let alone survive. Alden, on the other hand, is a soldier of fortune with a tragic past. Once a knight, he is now a wandering warrior, scarred by the loss of his family during a great war that ravaged his homeland. Haunted by his past and driven by guilt, Alden has grown cold and detached from the world, living only for the present day, seeking solace in his sword and the quiet of the wilderness. His fate intertwines with Elara’s when they both arrive at the outskirts of the Cursed Forest, a dangerous and enchanted place rumored to be the final resting ground of many treasure hunters who perished in search of the Heartstone. The two meet under unlikely circumstances when Elara, scouting the forest for clues, finds herself trapped by a treacherous pitfall. Alden, drawn by her desperate cries for help, rescues her, and though reluctant to share her quest, Elara finds herself needing Alden’s strength and combat skills to navigate the increasingly hostile forest. What begins as a temporary alliance for survival slowly blooms into a deep and complex partnership. As they travel deeper into the forest, their relationship evolves from a purely practical one to a romantic and emotional connection. However, their journey is far from simple. The Cursed Forest is alive, a sentient place that seems to have its own will, shifting paths and conjuring illusions to mislead and trap travelers. Along their way, they encounter strange creatures—both mythical and terrifying—and are faced with riddles and challenges designed to test their resolve. The forest, it seems, has its own secrets and a dark history tied to the Heartstone. As Elara and Alden journey through the temple, the challenges grow more intense, testing not only their physical endurance but also their emotional resilience. The temple’s illusions begin to prey on their deepest fears and regrets, challenging the bond they have formed. The deeper they go into the temple, the more they realize that the Heartstone isn’t just a powerful artifact—it is a sentient being that feeds off of the desires and fears of those who seek it. Elara, still haunted by her parents' mysterious disappearance, is confronted with visions of them—alive but lost to her in a world where the Heartstone’s power can bend time and reality. For a moment, she is tempted to seize the Heartstone to bring her parents back, but she is reminded of the cost: the stone's power would enslave her, slowly draining her essence until she becomes a mere shadow of the person she once was. The forest’s enchantment seems to push her toward this temptation, but her growing connection with Alden acts as a tether, preventing her from falling into the stone's seductive grasp. Alden faces an equally tormenting vision—one where he returns to the battlefield, but this time he does not abandon his family.

[You have Killed a Level 1 Zombie.] [Unique Skill 'Eclipse Devourer' Activated.] [Absorbing Essence...] [Experience Gained: +10 XP] [Skill Fragment Acquired: 'Rotting Touch' (1/5 Fragments)] [Energy Essence Absorbed: +2 Aether Core and +2 Strenght] [Reminder: Collect more fragments to reconstruct the full skill.] Follow Asher as he transforms from a powerless man to humanity’s savior.

The Cruel Horizon

Shadows stretch longer, whispers grow louder, and the world of Obinai Nobunaga, a teen trying to figure out his place in the world begins to unravel in ways that defy understanding… *whispering frantically, their voice trembling* “They’re… they’re dead. They’re all dead. I don’t… how did this happen? How could this happen?” *pausing, breathing heavily, pacing* “No, no, no, no, no. This can’t—this can’t be my fault. I didn’t… I wouldn’t… I couldn’t have done it. Right? Right?” *laughing nervously, almost hysterically* “I mean, it’s not like I just—no! No, stop it! Think. Think! There has to be an explanation. There has to be!” *voice breaking, barely above a whisper* “But what if it was me? What if… what if I did this? Oh God… oh God, what have I done?” *slumping to the ground, gripping their head* “Why can’t I remember? Why can’t I—” sobbing now “I didn’t mean to… I’m sorry…I’m so sorry…” Those who dare to hope must ask: When you strip away the comforting lies, will you embrace the shards of truth—or bleed by their edge? This novel is a mix of fantasy and and light sci-fi that explores dark themes. I can’t say much but it’s all a journey…a messy one…but a journey all the same. Come and observe the main character as he progresses…to rid himself of someone…and uncover the secrets of this world. Hope you Enjoy :) (Updates are 1 chapter a day...This is also on Royal Road and ScribbleHub...review it there too)

The Lost Guild: Beginning

One ordinary night, Adam and Max log onto Discord, ready for a laid-back gaming session with friends. But when they drift off, Adam awakens alone on an uncharted shoreline in a world that’s anything but familiar—a world where magic rules and danger lurks in every shadow. With no idea why they were summoned or even if they’re meant to survive, Adam and Max have no choice but to push forward, venturing into a dark and hostile forest filled with threats beyond imagining. This strange realm brims with diverse regions, magical creatures, and otherworldly races, each with their own agendas. Here, a mysterious system monitors their every move, granting them strange powers and a path forward. While Max walks the unpredictable path of fire—and perhaps more—Adam’s journey twists into something darker. Newfound abilities in combat and blood magic hint at potential, but survival demands more than strength: it demands sacrifice. Forced to adapt in this unforgiving world, Adam and Max cling to one glimmer of hope: the discovery that others like them might be scattered across the realm. Determined to find their friends, they embrace the adventurer’s life, joining with allies to form The Lost, a guild dedicated to growing stronger, gathering resources, and unearthing the truths hidden in the shadows. The Lost Guild is Adam’s journey through a world of heart-pounding challenges and chilling secrets, where he and Max must face both the marvels and merciless realities of a land shaped by magic, monsters, and mysterious powers. In this realm, every choice counts, and the line between friend and foe is as thin as a blade’s edge. For now I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com as well.
