Lucien war mehr als bereit, sich in sein neues Abenteuer zu stürzen, um im Rahmen des Heaven's Gate-Projekts eine sterbende Welt vor der Zerstörung zu retten.

Lucien, dessen neue Identität den Namen Lux trug, fand sich in einer Welt wieder, in der die Dunkelheit Licht und das Licht Dunkelheit sein konnte.

Year 2035. A groundbreaking game—"Glory Lords: Arcane War"—takes the world by storm. With cutting-edge VR immersion, players can feel the pulse of magic, the tremors of battle, and the weight of every decision. But more than just a game, it becomes the ultimate stage for global esports. Elite teams rise, billion-dollar prize pools emerge, and the entire world is swept into the frenzy. But for Ethan Parker, this isn’t just a game. It’s a gamble with fate itself. Las Vegas. Midnight. A secret high-stakes game. On the table lies the world’s only Legendary-tier artifact—the Stone of Glory. Its value? Far beyond a billion dollars. Because hidden within it is a secret—one that can rewrite the very rules of reality. Ethan bets everything. And loses. In that moment, he doesn’t just lose the artifact—he loses his future. Then, the world changes. The game and reality merge. Earth is no longer the world it once was. Society collapses, replaced by a brutal new order where a person’s rank in "Glory Lords: Arcane War" determines their status in real life. The strongest players become kings. The weakest? Slaves. And the one who won the Stone of Glory—Griffin Musk—rises to absolute power, ruling over this new world as its supreme leader. As for Ethan? Once the #1 player in the world, he loses everything—his account, his status, his freedom. Reduced to the lowest class, he suffers, tortured until his final breath. But now—he’s back. Reborn with the memories of his past life, he returns to the moment it all began. This time, he wins the gamble. This time, he won’t let the world fall into Griffin’s hands. But fate has more in store for him… When he logs into the game, he realizes something is off. Not only is he the first player in the world to own private territory, but he also acquires something unheard of—the only Legendary-tier unit in existence: the Green Dragon. And then—something even more shocking. These two Green Dragons aren’t just powerful units. They’re heroes. With growth potential and combat abilities surpassing even top-tier players, they have the power to change the course of the entire game. At that moment, Ethan knows—his path to the top has begun. But the real world isn’t done with him yet. Governments, military forces, corporate giants, secret organizations—and even Griffin himself—are now watching his every move. This time, it’s not just about revenge. This time, he’s taking control of the future. The war of heroes has only just begun…

The world ended. Then the gods tried to fix it. They made Menystria. It didn’t help. Once, three gods—James the Sun, Noah the Moon, and Evodil the devouring Chaos—built a city above the dead Earth to escape everything they ruined. But centuries later, the curse has lifted, humans are returning, magic breathes again and old truths are crawling back into the light. Evodil, shadow-bound god of hate and apathy, now drinks bitter coffee in a mountain observatory. Not a hero, barely even sane. But something’s waking beneath Menystria—and this time, it’s not going to be kind. Time loops. False lives. Dreams of angels with mechanical halos. A boy forging a burning katana. And a poker table in a realm that should not exist—where 52 seats wait for gods not yet born. As rebellion brews, new gods rise, and a cosmic horror named Azraem begins to turn its eyes inward, Evodil is forced to make a choice: remain the mistake everyone fears… or con the universe into believing he’s the one thing it still needs. MENYSTRIA is a slow-burn cosmic fantasy laced with bitter humor, emotional scars, and a divine game far bigger than anyone understands. This isn’t about saving the world. It’s about who gets to rewrite it.

Xavier wasn't expecting much from today—maybe a boring meeting, definitely some subpar coffee. What he didn’t expect was a silver lance aimed at his neck, a teenage girl with the attitude of a war-hardened NPC, or getting dragged across several floors like a human mop. When an encounter with a very aggressive seventeen-year-old turns into a rooftop revelation, Xavier learns the impossible: he’s an Executioner, born with a power called a Gate—and monsters are out to kill people like him. No, he doesn’t remember signing up for this. Yes, it’s apparently non-refundable. Add in a teleporting hallway, a superpowered girl who clearly skipped the empathy tutorial, and a muscle-bound giant that could double as a building—and Xavier’s world is flipped upside-down faster than you can say, “I’m hallucinating now.” It’s his first day as an Executioner. He’s already regretting everything.

In a realm where nine gates confine a fragmented universe, Ethan Cole uncovers a profound cosmic conspiracy.

I have lived a million lifetimes. I have left legacies behind on countless universes. Now, I find myself once again—in Rome. But this is no life I remember. The Earth's essence bleeds away, and I am not a legionary... but a slave. We should never have crossed the Golden Gate, being so unprepared for the horrors that awaited us. But it was necessary, that the Empire might be made eternal. Can you hear it? The chants of the people? How they cry out for the Son of Mars? Hush now, children. Be at ease... For I shall answer with fire and gold! ––– Author notes: The MC is a morally flexible being who often acts irreverent and wanton with a positive arrogance about himself. However, he is actually a deceitful and subtly manipulative, sullen figure. Although there will be a fair amount of female characters and love interests, this is not a harem. This story is a dark fantasy that includes gore, violence, and death. It may not be suitable for all readers. The prologue reveals the overarching plot which is not key to the current story, but relevant. It is eight hundred words longer than my average chapters, though I try to make it interesting. Well! That's that. Don't know how you found this novel, but I hope it brings you some entertainment!

What if the eternal and the abstract were to take form, defying all impossibility? What would unfold when these newfound entities, born from a single idea, discover a purpose to pursue? A tale woven in words—a chronicle of beings of unfathomable power, burdened by suffering they refuse to acknowledge, for they do not believe themselves capable of weakness. A story that unveils the struggles of even the strongest. Still ongoing, highly recommended to wait for the title to get finished first before reading

[Sexual Content, Graphic Violence & Lemons Warning] Warning: Dark Fantasy Erotica, Dark Comedy, Ecchi Anime Humor, Gore, Horror, Dark Romance, Large Harem On the world of Yara, gods once walked among mortals—shaping mountains, summoning dragons, and weaving magic into every breath of life. Temples soared skyward, labyrinthine dungeons guarded unfathomable treasures, and glimmering phoenixes lit the night. Yet when humanity’s thirst for greater power erupted into rebellion, the divine age ended in cataclysm. The heavens fell silent, and in the void left behind, a new terror arose. From the depths of darkness the Demon Queen ascended, trailing storms of carnivorous fiends and crimson flames that decimated kingdoms. Centuries of reign honed her strength, her silver hair and scarlet-red eyes becoming legend’s darkest promise. None could stand against her might—until a hero, driven by ambition as fierce as the queen’s own, banished her into a legendary blade. Peace returned, kingdoms flourished, and secret gates to the old gods—veins of power and peril—lay waiting to be reopened. Kouki, a sharp-witted wanderer with a mysterious curse etched into his flesh, ventures into one such newly revealed dungeon. Walls hum with ancient spells, traps whisper for blood, and every step risks twisting fate itself. When he stumbles upon a stranded cat-eared girl, her frightened plea echoes in the shadowed corridors. Desperate to survive, she fumbles a spell—but Kouki’s poison-laced magic fells the half-beast assailant in a heartbeat. In her wide, jewel-bright eyes he discovers both fear and fascination, and an unexpected bond sparks between them. Together they emerge into a world bristling with hidden gates, looming gods, and echoes of divine wrath. She offers healing light to lift his curse; he brings cunning and power that could reshape their fate. As whispers of prophecy and stir new alliances form, their fates entwine in a race against time—through monster-haunted dungeons, court intrigues, and the ever-present question: who will claim the last spark of godly magic before darkness returns?

The Eden Gate is the story of Arion Cairwen, a man unjustly condemned by divine forces, who awakens in a realm not of death, but of elemental trial. Each trial is more than survival—it is transformation. The Trial Spiral begins in fire, where Arion and Lysara are forced to face not only external flame but the internal heat of pain, shame, and rebirth. The trial of stone demands stillness, endurance, and truth of identity. In the waters of memory, they must confront the versions of themselves they once buried. And in the domain of wind, they surrender to clarity, letting go of control to embrace resonance. But the trials are not tests—they are thresholds. With each victory, Arion is reshaped. He does not merely pass the trials; he begins to become something else: a god not of dominion, but of creation. Lysara, a former avatar of war and duty, discovers Eden alongside him—an elemental seed of a world that is alive, breathing, and bound to their souls. Together, they forge Aurëalis, the Eden realm, using memory, emotion, and elemental glyphs as their tools. Yet power has consequences. Arion’s victories unmake the boundaries of time and pull him into the Pulse Beyond Stars, where the Loomkeeper, a cosmic weaver of fate, reveals the fragile threads of legacy, love, and loss. With the gods watching—and dying stars whispering warnings—Arion must face the greatest choice: to ascend and lose himself, or return and bear the burden of keeping a new world alive. The Eden Gate is a mythic fantasy about what we inherit, what we shape, and what we’re willing to lose for the future we believe in. A tale of trials, love, elemental transcendence, and the act of creation itself.

The Balance of Flame and Stone By BadRhitzu Born beneath the blood-colored Spiral Moon during the fabled Crimson Eclipse, twin siblings Yvonne and Kaizen entered the world as miracles or threats. Yvonne was flame incarnate, a wielder of impossible magic tied to soul and memory. Kaizen, he’s elder by mere breaths, possessed inhuman strength and a mind untouched by magic, yet bound to the earth like a living monolith. Their very existence tilted the balance of the world. To prevent catastrophe, the ancient Watchers cast six Veils of Suppression over the newborns binding their true selves, fragmenting their memories, and hiding the past lives they once lived as Ashweaver and Kael’Vorr, the legendary Veilborn. Seventeen years later, the world stirs once more. When an unseen room reveals itself deep within the fortress-city of Vaelcrest, the twins begin a slow and irreversible unraveling. As one Veil cracks, then another, the siblings must face not external monsters first but the suppressed truths of who they really are. Their powers return not through brute force, but through emotional reckoning: grief, forgiveness, rage, love, and sacrifice. Each Veil they shatter awakens something more ancient and more dangerous. Now hunted by the very Watchers who once swore to protect them, Yvonne and Kaizen journey across forgotten lands, into flame deserts, stone labyrinths, and across time-echoing ruins, seeking answers buried beneath their own skin. But some memories were hidden for a reason. And as the final Veil trembles, the Spiral Moon bleeds again. Will the twins restore balance to a fractured world? Or will they become the storm that ends it?

On a vast continent where the forces of light and darkness exist in a delicate balance, there lies the legendary Stone of Destiny—the Law Stone. This mysterious gem seals the rift between chaos and order, preserving the balance of the world, and stands as the last relic of the ancient gods. The Stone is both a blessing and a curse: it grants its bearer unparalleled power, yet demands that they bear the heavy burden of safeguarding the world. The story’s heroine, Eleanor, was once an ordinary university student in the 21st century. By a strange twist of fate, she is transported into a novel’s world, where she becomes a gifted yet inwardly fragile apprentice at the prestigious Arcane Academy. A sudden invasion by demonic forces changes her destiny forever. Through a series of coincidences, Eleanor becomes the bearer of the Stone of Destiny, forced to shoulder both the hopes and the curse of an entire world. The Stone’s power rapidly elevates her to one of the most formidable beings in existence—but at the cost of her soul, which begins to succumb to encroaching darkness. Under the threat of the King of the Abyss, the fallen god who leads the demon legions, the world’s order begins to crumble. Once a deity, the Abyss King now seeks to use the Stone’s power to tear apart the barrier between chaos and order, plunging the world into an endless abyss of darkness. Eleanor must choose between destruction and salvation. Beside her stand two men, both drawn into this vortex of destiny: Raynor: her childhood friend and sworn protector, a swordsman of unshakable honor and courage. He believes with all his heart that Eleanor can conquer the darkness, even as she grows more distant and the Stone’s power changes her. No matter what, he remains by her side. Ronquis: the Academy’s coldest and most rational archmage, a master strategist who sees through the essence of all power. He is wary of the disaster the Stone may bring and stands ready to do the unthinkable—end Eleanor’s path if necessary, to preserve the world. As the Stone’s power continues to awaken, Eleanor struggles between light and shadow, love and solitude, freedom and destiny. In the final battle against the King of the Abyss, she fully accepts the Stone’s power, using her will to redefine the true purpose of strength. She shatters the Stone’s curse—that every bearer must be consumed—and chooses to merge her soul with the Stone, becoming the guardian of a new world order. Yet her victory marks only the beginning of a new chapter. The awakening of the Stone sends ripples through the world, stirring ancient gods and long-slumbering powers. Eleanor’s choice becomes the prelude to an even grander epic.

Kim Raon was seventeen when the first Gate appeared. Just a regular high school senior. Quiet. Average. Orphaned at age ten. Spent his afternoons at a part-time convenience store job, saved his money for gaming, and avoided fights like they were the plague. He had no relatives, no friends to speak of, and no goals—just the simple desire to survive day by day. But the world didn’t care about his simplicity. When the Gates opened, they didn’t just stay in the sky. They spilled. Monsters poured through. Creatures of nightmare and myth—dragons made of bone, trolls that tore through buildings like cardboard, beasts with eyes that hypnotized and claws that shredded tanks. Cities fell in a matter of days. Governments collapsed. Chaos ruled. And with the chaos came something else—Hunters. Ordinary people began awakening to supernatural powers. Some gained the strength of titans, others could summon fire with a whisper, bend gravity, speak to spirits. These awakened humans—Hunters—were humanity’s only hope against the invasion. But Kim Raon wasn’t one of them. No matter how much he wished. No matter how many times he prayed. He never awakened. He remained the same powerless boy, running through crumbling streets, ducking under rubble, trying to survive the apocalypse with nothing more than quick feet and sheer dumb luck. Until the day he fell into the Gate. It was purely by accident. He had been running from a wyvern attack, the sky filled with screaming flames, the ground trembling from explosions. And then—bam. A collapsed building gave way under his feet. Raon plummeted into darkness, swallowed by a rift in space. That was the last time he saw Earth for the next ten years.

In the near future, climate collapse and ancient magnetic disruptions have fractured Earth’s natural balance, awakening long-dormant energies sealed by forgotten African gods. Deep beneath the rocky plains of Spain’s Extremadura region—where old Roman ruins whisper secrets—an ancient gate has reactivated. But it’s not from this world. A secretive society known as The Obsidian Custodians is on the move. They carry knowledge passed down through a fusion of African myths, Chinese elemental science, and Roman ritual—a knowledge that once held the balance between worlds. The gate is opening again. And something is coming through. Our protagonists—Ayinla, a Nigerian-Chinese code-smith with fragmented visions, and Mirella, an Italian-Igbo linguist running from her past—are drawn to the gate for reasons neither understands. Alongside them are war survivors, scholars, and warriors from different tribes and nations, each with stakes in this awakening. But Ayinla and Mirella are not ordinary. Each carries a piece of a myth long erased—one that could determine whether this world is reborn or consumed.

Humanity once opened the first of the twelve ancient gates, seeking power, resources, and knowledge. But instead, they unleashed something else. Armies of monstrous beings poured through the rift, bringing with them chaos and endless war. One gate has already fallen. The remaining eleven are still held by humans - but barely. The enemy grows stronger with each attack, and now, forces beyond human comprehension are emerging from the other side. By chance or fate, mankind discovered one of the five legendary relics - ancient artifacts said to grant power strong enough to shift the tides of war. With it, humanity narrowly regained balance. But it won't last. The enemy is evolving. And what comes next... can't be stopped by ordinary means. Then comes Saiden. A boy with no magic. No title. No destiny. And yet, in humanity's darkest hour, he awakens a power spoken of only in ancient prophecy - a force believed to be the most dangerous and unstoppable of all. This isn't just magic. It's a power that, if mastered, could become the key to saving the world - or its final downfall.

Fate is not chosen. It is carved. Eiran was never meant to be a hero. Marked by tragedy and burdened by powers he does not understand, he returns to the moment his life was shaped—the day he was forced to accept a path not his own. But when the mysterious Stone of Fate offers him a second chance, Eiran chooses a path whispered only in legends: the Warden, a bearer of all the forgotten truths—and the dangers that come with them. Beside him stands Auralia, a cunning rogue once raised by a deadly cult and now the only person he trusts. As their bond deepens into something more, so too does the shadow threatening to consume them. Hunted by monsters, haunted by gods, and pursued by the echoes of their past, they journey into a land carved by ancient canyons and darker secrets. But fate is not idle. The gods are watching. And in the silence beyond destiny, something has begun to stir. A fallen hero. A stolen prophecy. A world that will burn—or be reborn. Echoes of the Stone is the gripping first chapter in an epic fantasy saga of second chances, divine war, and the cost of rewriting your fate.

In less than a day, I lost my job and got an eviction notice for my apartment. With no better options, I accepted a last-minute position on a university-sponsored archaeological dig in Egypt, hoping to regain some stability before my final year of school. But what began as a practical escape quickly unravels into something far more dangerous, drawing me into a hidden world I was never meant to see.

In a world reborn by chaos, humanity survives within a colossal Tower, where power is everything and each floor holds the promise of glory—or death. Min Jae, Haruto, Soo Min, and Hana are four outcasts with overlooked classes and no guild to back them. When a global awakening grants people elemental powers and access to mysterious dungeons called "Gates," they form a party of necessity, not trust. But in a system built to favor the gifted, they refuse to be background characters. From cursed Gates and ancient puzzles to brutal PvP arenas and the rise of world rankings, the Shadow Pact carves their name into a world ruled by power and politics. Their bond will be tested by betrayal, secrets, and the growing realization that not all Gates follow the rules. Because some doors were never meant to open. And some players were never meant to stay human.

They were chasing her-and no matter how fast she ran, the footsteps never stopped. Gasping through alleyways, hiding in shadows, praying to gods she didn't believe in. Just one breath, one second of peace... But even magic has teeth. And behind the last door, past the glowing gate she thought had saved her-death was waiting to exhale

2014. 5:00 Am. Under the still dark sky, a silhouette was jogging around the block in black sweatpants and a sweatshirt, despite the darkness hiding most of his features his almost vibrantly glowing gold eyes could be seen sharp and focused. “I love, I love, I love…” the man was quietly singing, his headphones laid over his hoodie, noise cancelling of course, a beloved feature. The man, keenly aware of the danger of ANC headphones was constantly surveying the road, wary of cars.
