In the world of ICHOR, the Republic of St. Jilena is divided into two. Humans, who populate most of the countries land. On the other hand there are a race called, "Nephilim". Nephilim are much more physical gifted than even the strongest humans in the world. They are even able to control and manipulate blood.

On the otherworldly continent of Adriel, Thomas sat in his small and messy study learning magic. He was filled with longing and curiosity for magic, but also had a hint of uneasiness and anxiety. When attempting to learn the Light Spell, Thomas had difficulty controlling magical energy. At this time, his good friend Emily walked in. Seeing his predicament, she gave patient guidance, from basic breathing regulation to energy perception, and then to the pronunciation of incantations and the accuracy of gestures. With Emily's help, Thomas successfully created a faint but stable ball of light. In the following days, Thomas studied magic even harder. From simple Light Spells to more complex incantations, his magic skills steadily improved. He also won first place in a school magic competition with his efforts and talent. His story spread on campus and became a legend, inspiring more people to pursue their dreams. Thomas knew that this was just the beginning of his magical journey. He would continue to learn and grow until one day he could stand at the peak of the magical world.

I gazed up into the bright blue sky. It was supposed to be a normal day like any other... So why when I look at the supposedly normal sky, was there a large black rift cutting through the bright blue? When Earth is invaded by a mana-wielding race known as the Lacerta, desperate to escape their own dying realm. Humanity must adapt if they want to survive this deadly struggle... Suddenly talented humans discovered that they started gaining powers. Some could wield fire, some could wield ice, some could wield wisdom, some could wield words. With these newfound powers Earth united under one banner and began to fight back. After some years these powers were given a source... 'Ichor'. This story follows Jin, a normal boy from a middle class family that is suddenly thrust into a life where talent for wielding 'Ichor', the blood of the dead gods, means everything. Come along as Jin discovers his own powers while wielding 'Ichor', and attempts to discover more about why 'Ichor' was brought into their world by the mysterious dead gods. What was their purpose? Will humanity survive the looming invasion of the Lacerta?

Prince Samir looked at her disdainfully. “You’re not human.” “Aren’t I?” Nazmi asked boredly. “You aren’t.” She rolled her eyes. “Then what am I, your highness?” “A nymph. I can tell.” Prince Samir’s golden orange eyes threatened her. That if she lied again, she would surely lose her life. Nazmi started to panic. She hadn’t felt such genuine fear in a very long time. Time was running out, she needed to try and execute her plan before it was too late – but she swallowed the fear inside her to avoid blowing her cover. “How can you be so sure?” Nazmi laughed. Unfortunately for him, aside from having a lot to hide, playing with fire was her favorite activity. “Is it because you can’t bite me?” His dark skin and glowing eyes looked beautiful in the dim lighting; such an ethereal and lovely appearance wasn’t befitting of a vile monster like a vampire, Nazmi thought to herself. How unfortunate. The vampire hummed in agreement. “I would have ripped your skin and devoured your ichor the moment I saw you if it weren’t stopping me.” “You could always just kill me and drink my blood that way,” she said with a sarcastic smile. “Barbaric, yes, but it seems you and your kind prefer it that way. I’d say you’re animals, but that would be too cruel a comparison. Animals could never be as disgusting as you.” — War between the humans and vampires has gone on for centuries. Bloodshed and domination are all the two races seem to know, and neither side ever show intention for peace. The death toll between them is massive, both mortals and vampires alike. But what about everyone caught in between? Nazmiseia is one of the few remaining nymphs left. Since nymphs are spirits borne from nature, the constant shedding of blood and war has destroyed countless of their homes. Many of the wars took place on nymph land.As a girl, she lost her friends and family all save for her father. He took her to live amongst the humans and blend in, so that they could live a peaceful life. She took up the human-friendly nickname of Nazmi. Her father didn't know that his sweet girl would grow up wanting nothing but revenge on both humans and vampires alike. She is now the age of 20, finally old enough to begin learning how to use her nymph powers. While developing connections with strong people and training to fight, she ends up thrown in the middle of a human-vampire skirmish at the border. Nazmi not only finds herself injured, but captured by one of the most fearsome vampire generals. In the hands of the notoriously handsome and tyrannical vampire Prince Samir, her plans for revenge have to take a backseat to something more urgent - escape! — There will be lots of R18 detailed smut throughout the story. Please be aware! Blood and gore, vivid descriptions of death. Enemies to lovers, of course.~

As he delves deeper, he uncovers that beneath the war between two empires lies a web of lies and deceit woven by human greed and the desire to become gods. Ichor has no intention of untangling such webs; he only wants to find his father. But what will he do when he discovers that the military he serves and the country he has laid his life down for are the reasons behind his father's disappearance? What will he do when he learns that things are not as simple as they seem? That his father might have been the first human to kill a god and that he has the blood of a Godslayer running through his veins?

Forced into the realm of Ichor, the home of illusions, humans have no other choice but to rise to the top of the Tower of Blood before God's Judgement.

Taking pity on the dying boy, a kind soul takes him to a monastery. That pity however is misplaced, for within that frail body linger the last embers of a drifter from the future.

CHAPTER UPDATE SCHEDULE: Every FRIDAY @ 22:00 P.M (Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time) Ares (Pronunciation: eh·ruhs) * * * She's someone who can't feel anything. Love. Fear. Sorrow. Envy. Joy. Anxiety. Pain. Greed. Hate. It was all the things that made a person HUMAN. Yet, she can't seem to grasp the concept of these emotions that should have come easy to HUMANS. From birth, she was conceived in darkness and received no maternal love from her biological parents. The world never knew of her birth nor the pain she went through. They, her biological parents, made it so that she had never existed. She became "their" caged animal whose sole purpose in life was to serve as their main test subject. Their "little human guinea pig". Ares went through many experiments and, unluckily, survived. She went through the same hell for almost seven years and gained inhuman abilities. After being kept as a lab rat for most of her life, she finally saw a light at the end of the tunnel. A fire broke out, burning her biological parents and soon her. But she was saved despite feeling tired of living. That was the day her life started. A family took her in and made her feel things she never felt before. But even that didn't last long. Dark forces and governments from countries all over the world raced to attain her when they became aware of her existence. They sought to take her for their cause, willingly or by force. They discovered that she alone possesses a supernatural ability that people would kill to get their hands on. The ability to see a person's whole life - past, present, and future - up until they breathe their last breath. She called this ability [life].  However, they weren't her only problem. She later learned that humans weren't alone in the universe. A whole new world opened up to her and the mysteries of that new world became known to her when she used [life] on a group of strange people whom she met by coincidence. Or was it by fate? With the memories of their [life], she saw the impending war that will come about that was caused by humans and, without knowing, she was in the middle of it all. What will she do? What will happen if her existence becomes known to the world? Can she escape the cruel fate she'll face? Or will she fight and protect those she came to love?

Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride.

After hatching endless plots and suffering innumerable hardships, the demons of the Demonic Realm finally managed to resurrect the Ancient Demon King. The demons of the Demonic Realm had hoped that the Ancient Demon King would not only lead them in waging a war against the Heavenly Realm and enable them to lord their superiority over the Immortals, he would also ultimately gain control over the entire realm. Gradually, however, they discovered that their thoughts were very, very wrong. Whilst it is true that this Ancient Demon King still retains his aura of superiority and possesses unlimited powers, he... He seems to be a mental case... It's alright even if he changes orders and does things in an incomprehensible way. But what's with his habit of muttering under his breath, nagging and conversing with himself the entire day! Small Orchid: He's not ill, he's just despicable ...can't stand to see people live a good life. Dong Fang: I am only unable to endure seeing you live a good life. Small Orchid: ... *T/N: The Chinese pronunciation for the word "despicable" is the same as the word "see" - thus, the author is trying to show that Small Orchid, while trying to scold Dong Fang, is also careful not to incur his wrath, which is why she tried to imbue another meaning into her sentence after scolding him.

This is the story of a 30 year old dead beat who unexpectedly dies. He's given a new shot at life but something doesn't feel right...wait HE'S A MONSTER! Our mc is one who seeks power but he wasn't always like that. Sphar (correct pronunciation is s-far) is an ancient forgotten monster called a Nyre, which is quite similar to a bat. He's gifted a system and completely abuses its power like all mc's do. This story is very slowly paced as I don't want to rush it. Time skips won't happen too often and if they do it won't be for long. His greatest desire is to explore the world, or at least it was..., but escaping his home will be a bit more tricky than he thought. Luckily his species is perfect for covert operations. Let the adventure begin! Authors note- I'm an inexperienced writer and I'm only doing this for fun. The story has a very slow start and the chapters are only 1.3k to 1.5k words long. I don't plan on locking chapters ever but if you want to support me, gifts are greatly appreciated. My release time will be a complete mess as this is only a hobby but I hope you enjoy the story.

Normal doesn't quite describe the life of a young Ixoria Belmont. While she doesn't seek out attention or drama, her alluring personality and looks seem to be the magnet that attaches her to these scenarios. With hair that is reminiscent of Hatsune Miku, a semi-goth/emo style and towering at 6'0, she definitely would be recognizable in a crowd and In the Case Of Ixoria Belmont, these factors prove to be a blessing as much as they are a curse.
