It was Satoya Kamiyama’s 17th birthday, and he was happily celebrating with his close friends during what seemed like a peaceful vacation. But everything changed in an instant when the city they were in was destroyed in the blink of an eye. As Satoya watched the destruction unfold—his friends filled with fear—he felt an unexplainable drive. This wasn’t just a normal disaster; it was a supernatural catastrophe, with strange beasts rampaging through everything. But amidst the chaos, something stirred within Satoya. Humanity had survived countless disasters before, but could this be the one where survival alone wasn’t enough? In that moment, it clicked: his instincts led him toward an impossible goal—was it possible for there to be a solace where everyone could simply thrive? It wasn't as easy as he thought, with even bigger historical threats reoccurring in modern times. Can Satoya and his close friends defeat them all or does he need the help of allies? “I’m confident enough to know Satoya’s journey will prevail, but in truth, what can I say?” - The scribe of the ancient crucibles This novel features short chapters (occasional longer ones). The beginning of the novel (first 50~ chapters) is rough, but I will in fact fix the pacing and details once I’m done with the novel. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you enjoy this novel. This is the updated synopsis, the original synopsis was severely outdated and no longer reflected the story’s direction. I’d like to deeply apologize for any confusion. Note - some later chapters would get quite gruesome.

For ten years, Raiten has been bound to the Thunder Tower and made the enslaved guardian of his clan's northern pillar. Once, he dreamed of freedom and fought for a friend he believed in. Now, she’s returned—a hero, wielding the power he stole for her. The only question that remains is, how will Raiten kill her? Will he choose forgiveness and carve for himself a new life, beyond the tower, beyond the clan? Or, will he sink in the depraved depths of bloody vengeance? Perhaps a bit of both. This story is a mix of vengeance, fast-paced action, lighter slice-of-life moments, and of course, magic. Great for fans of Shadow Slave, Red Rising, Cosmere novels, Mother of Learning, the game Roadwarden, The Witcher, and more! Please enjoy. [Note: cover is AI art. I am only using this temporarily: once I am not broke, I will pay a proper artist for an awesome cover!] [Note 2: Originally published on RoyalRoad]

Our story begins on a planet called Gieă in a Continent called 'Eclispe of the Oceans' where chaos slowly unfolds with its influence slowly spreading into the entire world. This is a paced story that follows multiple characters shaped ruthlessly by desires and passion. A young dragon princess thirsty for acknowledgement, A prisoner breaking free from fate, A shadow who would die for his master, A light without a source and a question without an answer. Some of these special individuals fight for power, some fight to destroy, some fight to save, some fight for freedom, some fight for love, some fight for vengeance and some fight from duty. They all bleed, some of them fall, some grow and some lose sight of their purpose while consciously or unconsciously trying to find one thing,.. Balance. In a world riddled by chaos where 'good people and bad people' have been replaced by the terms 'winners or losers', where greed determines justice and vanity replaces passion, where energies conflicts, wars emerge and ruthlessness gets imprinted by experience into the hearts of even the most innocent and brave heroes. They stand for their desire and themselves with a riddle left unanswered from the very beginning of time,.. "What truly is balance?.." Follow our main characters through their dramatic struggles for answers as the choices they make influences themselves and their world. THIS IS A SLOW-PACED STORY AND THERE WOULDN'T BE LOTS OF ACTION SCENES AT THE BEGINNING BUT AS TIME PROGRESSES, SCENES LIKE THIS WOULD BE MORE COMMON. TRUST ME, THIS IS A STORY WORTH THE INVESTMENT OF READING!.

7/31/2024~ In the process of editing and updating my earlier chapters. I personally believe the story starts to improve and find it's way a bit more around chapter 50+. Hopefully can make some adjustments in earlier chapters when I have the time, but pacing slows down into a more measured rate as I start finding my groove. I give the content more time to breathe instead of going so fast. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the realm of Nexaria, where elemental spirits and divine beings shape the fate of the world as a land of mortals striving to become gods against the demons of the Abyssal universe, a young boy named Lassim Vanthar embarks on an extraordinary journey of advancement, adventure and becoming a bastion for those around him in their fight against the Dragal. Born into a noble family with a legacy of Fire elemental martial prowess, Lassim possesses an unparalleled gift on his 8th birthday—a connection to two differing elemental spirits, a feat unheard of in the history of his world. A gift and a tampering of the order until now that is an omen. It is a sign of the Gods influencing the future fate of Nexaria on a more serious level. Lassim must harness the power of his dual spirits to protect his loved ones and confront the looming threat of the Abyss' encroachment on his universe, but one step at a time as he grows from just a tool of the God's to a major power as the hero of not only Nexaria, but the entire universe. Lassim faces daunting challenges, battles fierce adversaries, and unlocks the mysteries of his own destiny that has been tampered with by the Gods of this universe. How will he react and adapt to his situations? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is my first ever novel. I’m a new author and still learning how to tell a story. Please understand that when reading. Thank you.

A fast-paced story of assassination picking off his adversaries and leaders one by one. How he attained a fearful reputation, worry not, because we’re cutting to the core of the issue with an insight into the real assassin's code. What’s more, a hallmark of the killings was made public as possible so as to sow maximum fear, overwhelmingly ending in the assassin’s death. He turned himself into a calculating machine, an extremely terrifying assassin that would give nightmares to the enemies and feared by the underworld including the SAS, CIA, and M16 Government. Of course, this was no trivial task requiring both skill and training. The greatest benefit of becoming a skilled fighter was mentored by two elderly couples who were not in this world that has unimaginable power of life forces. A true story with fantasy. Let’s rock on….

[DOWNLOADING INFORMATION FROM THE HOST -GENERAL KNOWLEDGE- IN PROGRESS] [0%...1%....5%...30%...70%...100%] [DOWNLOAD COMPLETE] [ALL SYSTEMS READY] [WELCOME TO THE BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM, HOST ERIK ROMANO] -------------------------------------------------------- Greetings, dear readers! As the author of this book, I would like to take a moment to talk about its structure and pacing. When I first started writing this story, I was still learning the craft of writing and exploring the world and characters I had created. As a result, the first volume of this book may feel a little slow-paced at times, as I took my time to introduce the setting, the plot, and the main characters. However, as I gained more experience and feedback from readers like you, I realized that I could improve the pacing and make the story more engaging and exciting. Therefore, I have been constantly revising and editing the chapters, trying to find ways to streamline the exposition, increase the tension, and deepen the character development. You may notice some differences between the original and current versions if you have read the first volume already. Some scenes may have been cut or shortened, while others may have been expanded or rearranged. However, I want to assure you that the core of the story remains the same and that the characters and themes will continue to evolve and surprise you. The last issue I would like to address is the portrayal of the main character (MC) on this website. I have noticed that on average, on this website, there are two types of MCs: 1) The ruthless, apathetic, or cold MC 2) The normal or intelligent MC The problem with both types is that they often become godlike or fighting experts within just five chapters. Not only is this unrealistic, but it can also become monotonous, in my opinion. It seems that many authors tend to use these two types frequently. That is why I have created a completely different main character for my story. In this story, the MC is flawed and has faced many challenges in life. Unlike other characters who are already ahead, the MC finds himself starting from nothing. He learns to fight, interact with people, and manage difficult situations. This means that he won't always make the same choices or take the same path as you would. It's important to remember that every person would react differently in each situation, and there is no universal answer for how to handle every circumstance. Please keep this in mind when you come across moments where you may not agree with the MC's actions and consider his unique perspective and way of thinking.

Things to beware: - Rare (?) concept for this archetype - I have bad writing and the writing is in 3rd POV - Enjoy the story if you can. - If you find my name familiar, you might have come upon my chapter comments on other stories. - No solid schedule, as writing is my whims - Any pacing issues, plot holes, bad characterisation,…can be attributed to all of the above. —————————————————— [Nonetheless, whether you came out of this hating it, non-interested or liking it, BIG THANKS for taking out some time of your day to read it. Even if it’s barely 1 chapter, even if it’s all the chapter. I’m but a slothful guy trying to write a story, after all.] I don’t really own the cover.

WARNING: Yuri, Incest, Selfcest I am trying to make this story as unhinged and immoral as I can so... [READ AT YOUR OWN RISK] The story will run at a slow pace. I apologize in advance if the story had slow development. PS: This is my very first work, so there will be mistakes. Please consider my writing skills, if anything. The cover is AI-generated.

As the author of this book I should give a fair warning: the first chapters are a scam!! Okay, let me explain. The character that you most likely think is the protagonist, is not the protagonist. Why? Honestly, idk, I just felt like doing it. Makes the story feel more realistic and approachable because every character is worth something. The story follows a male lead, Ju Min-Jung, who at one point in his life was a normal middle-aged man from Korea. He gets transmigrated to a world called Einar as Lychipher Klein in which becoming quote-unquote a "god", is not just possible, but relatively common. Years have gone by in a flash and Lychipher has enjoyed a simple and laid-back life, going by the nickname of Whiskey. The story starts when a contracted guild summons the lovecraftian inspired eldritch entity known as Dietrich, which fragmented itself into several variants born from chosen women. The fragments each have the distinct feature of white hair and can be released when the variant is killed. When all the variants are killed each fragment will be fused allowing Dietrich to form in Einar. This quickly escalates into family feuds, mystery, mystism and the occult. Questions emerge perpetually the instant one is answered, mysterious forces are at work pulling the strings behind closed curtains and fate seems to be the greatest for of all.... What to expect: Firstly is the world of Einar. It's a world entirely fictional so don't try to wrap your head around the timeline because I honestly just smashed several themes that I liked together. Originally, I chose for late 16th century baroque and renaissance, but later I also added elements of the western victorian era, the wild west and more. Now the next thing to expect is probably not something you'll appreciate much, and that is slow pacing. I know, I know —you're probably screaming "whyyy!?". But it's best for the story to play out the way it should, ya' know- instead of rushing it. Besides, going for a mysterious factor demands slow pacing because otherwise the mystery is short-lived.

A Princess of Mars is a classic science fiction novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, first published in 1912. It tells the captivating story of John Carter, an ex confederate veteran from Earth, who is mysteriously transported to Mars, where he becomes embroiled in the planet's epic struggles for power, survival, and love. The novel introduces readers to the fascinating Martian civilizations, including the red-skinned Tharks and the noble Barsoomian city-states, setting the stage for an adventure brimming with action, political intrigue, and romance. In this version, I have carefully rewritten Burroughs' work with the utmost care and respect for the original text. While staying true to the themes and essence of Burroughs' vision, I have worked to modernize the language, refine character development, and ensure the pacing aligns with contemporary sensibilities. My intention is to make the story more accessible to modern readers while preserving the spirit of adventure and wonder that made the original so beloved. I genuinely hope you find joy in this retelling, whether you are experiencing the tale for the first time or revisiting a beloved classic. As always, I welcome and appreciate any feedback or constructive criticism, as it helps me continue to refine my work. Your thoughts and reflections are invaluable to me as I continue to pay homage to this timeless masterpiece.

Between epic showdowns, forbidden romance, and discovering his bloodline’s dark power, Nicolas’s journey is one hell of a rollercoaster—full of sparks, smarts, and some seriously mind-blowing twists. Oh, and did we mention there’s some classic “face-slapping” fun too? Get ready for a world where the stakes are high, the hearts are hotter, and the magic is anything but ordinary. --------- ○There is smut and romance but no harem. ○The starting is slow paced but overall its a fast pace novel. ○The romance is immediate and quick. ○Chapters with smut or gore are labled appropriately.

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?
