Julius Fondatore is an Italian historian that specializes in Roman history. Graduating from the Sapienza University of Rome, he has scoured and read almost all the historical manuscripts available in the many libraries and museums of Italy. One morning while he was on his way to his usual coffee shop, he noticed a seemingly new bookstore that had opened. While passing, his eyes quickly glanced towards the direction of a top selling novel displayed under the fantasy section entitled, “Veni, Vidi, Vici – Rise of Rome in Another World”. Intrigued, Julius bought the book intending to read it while enjoying coffee. However, tragedy stuck when the seemingly newly built bookstore collapsed, crushing the young man in the process. When he woke up, he found himself in a fantastical world of magic as the first consul of the human city, Roma.

In a world where tamers contract beasts to gain powers, Ryn, a young tamer with a unique ability to see a beast's evolutionary path, embarks on an expedition to the mysterious Twilight Expanse. His ability allows him to evolve seemingly weak creatures into formidable beasts, but his journey takes an unexpected turn when he uncovers an ancient artifact tied to the region’s mist. As secrets about the artifact and the origin of his power unravel, Ryn must navigate the growing tensions between rival factions, the powerful Tamer’s Guild, and the dangers lurking in the Expanse. With his beasts by his side, Ryn will challenge everything he knows about taming and the world itself.

In the sprawling streets of ancient Rome, a man named Marcus Benedictus emerged from the shadows as a figure both feared and formidable. His life unfolded as a fierce narrative of defiance, ambition, and ruthless resolve, ultimately leading him to become the most dangerous man in the Empire and, in many eyes, the deadliest man in the known world.

In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.

Story Synopsis: (Suck at making a summary but here it is) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arial Bozzeli was an Astro-Biologist. Usually, an Astro-Biologist would go on a space expedition researching planets, plants, and lifeforms facing the dangers of the environments; however, staying in the comfort of her own planet and examining extinct alien species was the peaceful life she wanted while indulging in her curiosity about alien life. All the while she wished for this upon a shooting star, she didn't expect the star to come barreling towards her with a life-form that would cause her mayhem. Space pirates, mercenaries, evil organizations, and rich assholes came one after the other, looking to dissect what was inside of her. From then on, all kinds of danger she didn't want were drawn towards her. --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leo Carter is just your average 21st-century English major—slightly disorganized, perpetually late, and hopelessly hooked on the dramatic, old-school world of Shakespeare. But when a late-night study session with Julius Caesar unexpectedly turns into an accidental trip through time, Leo finds himself not in a college dorm, but smack-dab in the heart of ancient Rome. To make matters worse, Leo isn't just a tourist; he's holding a mysterious, glowing book that seems to pulse with a life of its own and whispers secrets that no modern-day student should ever know. Cue the eye-rolls from history buffs everywhere: Leo Carter, with his sneakers and too-tight jeans, is now the unlikely center of attention in a world full of toga-wearing senators, opportunistic politicians, and more backstabbing than a high school cafeteria. With the help of Gaius, a sharp-tongued scholar who suspects Leo's arrival is part of a bigger picture, Leo must navigate the bustling city streets, avoid unwanted attention from the guard, and figure out why his 21st-century self is now entangled in a centuries-old power struggle. All the while, he’s juggling his modern sensibilities with the unexpected—and often absurd—realities of life in ancient Rome, including questionable hygiene, impromptu gladiator fights, and more than one ill-timed “Et tu, Brute?” moment. As if that wasn't enough, there’s the book: a relic that some seek to control and others to destroy. With his own life on the line, Leo will have to learn the real lessons of ambition, loyalty, and how to properly make an entrance when surrounded by a crowd of toga-clad onlookers. And he might just find that some things—whether ancient or modern—are more timeless than they seem.

In the dying days of Eldradore, a kingdom ravaged by relentless disasters, unyielding famine, and a plague that consumes both body and soul, hope hangs by a thread. The land is cursed, its people desperate, and its ruler, King Aldemar, makes a fateful decision: to send an expedition to the forbidden island of No Man’s Land, a place shrouded in myth and terror. Whispers tell of ancient magic and a cure for the blight, but none who venture there have ever returned. Darian, a grief-stricken scavenger barely surviving in the ruins of his village, is thrust into this perilous journey when royal guards conscript him against his will. With no training, no allies, and nothing to live for, he finds himself among a ragged crew of prisoners, peasants, and knights, all sailing into the unknown. As they approach the island, they uncover horrors far beyond their imaginations—twisted landscapes, monstrous creatures, and remnants of a forgotten civilization. At the heart of it all lies the mythical World Tree, said to hold the cure to the kingdom’s blight. Yet, as they draw closer, one question lingers: will they reach the tree and save Eldradore, or will its mysteries consume them all?

Animal spirits, rare bloodlines, monsters from three realms, and eight families of Astral Conjurers. These are the things that unexpectedly enter Kairav’s life when the young cryptozoologist encounters a mysterious stranger during his expedition to find cryptid animals on a remote island. The stranger’s first words are, “Are you one of the Astral Conjurers?” “My bull spirit saw a unicorn spirit behind you. But that’s strange... didn’t the Pure-Hearted Clan die out hundreds of years ago?” That unexpected statement leaves Kairav shocked. The mention of a unicorn immediately brings back memories of his younger brother’s mysterious disappearance years ago, and of the day he awoke in the woods, face-to-face with a golden-horned unicorn spirit that healed his dying dog. From that moment on, Kairav sets out on a journey to uncover his true identity. His quest takes him from soul-searching in a haunted mountain forest to discovering a mysterious inscription under a step pyramid, one that speaks of Eternal Holy Water. He travels to the eight cardinal directions, solves complex puzzles, and faces mysteries. Author’s Notes: Hello, dear readers!

In a world reshaped by the collapse of ancient kingdoms, the death of the legendary Kings of Fire, Thunder, Beasts, Order, and Chaos marked the dawn of a new era. The once-mighty kingdoms have crumbled, giving way to modern states, but the potent legacy of these monarchs remains in the form of five mystical rings. Each ring embodies the unique power of its former ruler, offering unimaginable strength to those who dare to claim them. As the dust of the old world settles, a shadowy organization emerges, masquerading as an archaeological expedition in search of ancient relics. Their true mission, however, is far more sinister: to unearth these rings, believed to be weapons of unparalleled power, capable of shifting the global balance. Alric Kincaid is a brilliant young scholar at Harvard University, on the cusp of graduation with a thesis on the elusive deep state. His academic pursuits take an unexpected turn when he becomes embroiled in a deadly international conspiracy. One fateful night, after a harrowing encounter with Russian intelligence agents, Alric is wounded and finds himself hiding near a forgotten statue, its hand adorned with a mysterious ring. Driven by a blend of curiosity and survival instincts, Alric takes the ring, unknowingly setting off a chain of events that will alter the course of history. As he examines the artifact at home, he discovers its connection to the lost kings and the immense power it holds. The ring becomes both a beacon and a curse, drawing attention from powerful factions and individuals who would stop at nothing to possess it. With danger lurking at every turn, Alric must navigate a treacherous world of espionage, ancient secrets, and political intrigue. As he unravels the mystery of the rings, he realizes that the future of nations hangs in the balance. Alric is thrust into a race against time to prevent the resurgence of chaos and tyranny, armed only with his wits, the enigmatic ring, and the reluctant allies he gathers along the way. In a story that blends the mystique of ancient powers with the relentless pace of a modern thriller, "The Rings of Sovereignty" explores the enduring conflict between order and chaos, the burden of power, and the choices that shape destinies. Will Alric succeed in keeping the rings from falling into the wrong hands, or will the world witness the return of a forgotten era's dark reign?

The prince struggles on the case of thinking that he is no one of importance. A shadow of his brother. Someone to pay lip service to. Even his father had not cared for him.

In the world of Eryndor, a magical realm filled with countless creatures, powerful beings, and ancient ruins, everyone is born with a System—a personal magical interface that determines their destiny. Most are granted systems that focus on personal power, like swordsmanship, elemental control, or healing. But some rare individuals are chosen by a unique system: Guardian. The protagonist, Kael, is one such individual, born with a Guardian System, an ancient and mysterious power. Unlike other systems, the Guardian System doesn’t grant Kael direct magical abilities; instead, it allows him to summon powerful spirits, known as Guardians, that he must protect and nurture. Each Guardian is a being of immense power, capable of defending entire cities or bringing about great destruction. Kael’s job as a Guardian is not only to command these spirits in battle but to ensure they are cared for, forming a bond that strengthens both him and his Guardians. However, there’s a catch: each Guardian is bound to Kael’s life force. If a Guardian dies, so does he. The more powerful the Guardian, the higher the risk to his own life. As Kael matures, he must juggle the pressures of being a protector, leading expeditions to battle monsters, and uncovering the truth behind the mysterious origins of the Guardian System. Along the way, he builds his team of diverse Guardians—each with their own personalities, abilities, and backstories—while unraveling a conspiracy that threatens not only his life but the entire structure of the System that governs his world.

As the formidable leader of the De Luca mafia family, he commanded respect and inspired fear. But Alessandro's life was about to take an unexpected turn. A debt of honor, forged in blood and tradition, bound him to marry the beautiful and innocent Sophia Bianchi. Their families' alliance would secure peace and strengthen the De Luca empire.
