Novus Warden

On January 20th, 2045, disaster fell upon Earth. Monsters and beasts ravished the land and wiped out humankind. Before the darkness took her life, the goddess Solaria turned back time and used her powers to create a game that would save the humans, giving them one last chance. If they played the game, they would become stronger and evolve, gaining a class. Meanwhile, the more they levelled in the game, the stronger their real bodies became. Julian, an orphan who hadn't played the game in the previous world until it was too late, remembered everything. Determined to change the future, he entered the world once again. However, the game detected his existence and sent him to the world of Avalon after the monsters destroyed it—a hellish landscape of burning buildings and wailing screams. [◊ Heir of Shadows, do you accept your calling? ◊] A mysterious voice asked in a gentle tone. "I will accept." He didn't want to lose everything and make the same mistakes. [You have become the Heir of Shadow!] [You have Gained the Shadowmancer Class] He gained a subclass of the Necromancer called the Shadowmancer. Julian could summon dark creatures to follow his orders. Able to upgrade them, killing monsters and using items, Julian faced the hellish world of death. Ready to accept the mantle and to stop his new world from dying—he became the Heir of Shadow.

A world full of humanoid animals called Anisarians divided into 12 different habitat nations. Petty squabbles and past rivalries have erupted into all out World War between the nations, forcing all caught in the crossfire to choose a side. In the chaos are five interconnected stories of heroes and villains, mighty rulers, and humble refugees just trying to make it through the turbulent times they now find themselves unable to escape from. Only the strongest shall rule in an age of betrayal, conquest, and atrocities. But in a world turned monstrous. Some will not give in to what instinct demand's them to be in order to survive.

When a routine interstellar mission goes awry, Commander Sarah Chen finds herself thrown through a wormhole and marooned on Kepler-9, a verdant world at the fringes of an unknown star system. The planet's inhabitants - a diverse coalition of species ranging from the crystalline Lumini to the shape-shifting Morphs - initially view her with suspicion. But as she learns their ways and shares her own knowledge, Chen transforms from outsider to trusted ally. The peace is short-lived. Kepler-9, the smallest and most resource-rich planet in its system, has long been a target for aggressive neighboring worlds. When Chen discovers that another invasion looms on the horizon, she must unite the planet's fractious species into a cohesive fighting force. Each race brings unique abilities: the Lumini's natural energy manipulation, the Morphs' infiltration expertise, the towering Titans' raw strength, and the microscopic Swarm's collective intelligence. Drawing on her Earth military training and her growing understanding of alien warfare, Chen devises unconventional strategies that play to each species' strengths. As the invasion draws near, she knows that victory will require more than just tactical brilliance - it will demand trust, sacrifice, and the courage to forge a new kind of civilization where humans and aliens stand as equals. But even as she prepares for war, a question haunts her: was her arrival on Kepler-9 truly an accident, or part of something larger? The answer may determine not just the fate of her adopted home, but the future of interspecies relations across the galaxy.

(The cover isn't mine) The world of Elysium is a world of legends and magic. A world where swords and the arcane collide is a world full of magical creatures and beasts like dragons and elves and on paper living in a world like this would seem like a dream for fantasy fans. But if you’ve read lord of the rings or literally any fantasy story where there’s conflict on a global scale you know that this could SUCK because in reality it is far from sunshine and rainbows. In reality Elysium used to be nothing but an abandoned husk of a world. Completely void of life the world of Elysium was on the brink of destruction as the planet slowly crumbled and decayed. But that was before “they” appeared. The gods of the universe nicknamed the titans saw potential in this husk of a planet and decided to use their powers over life to not only bring life to the planet in the form of oceans, forests and jungles. But they also created countless species to roam the earth. And as new life entered the world Elysium was also blessed with the same powerful and mystical energy known as Arcane energy or mana which was the same energy the titans wielded. Arcane energy granted those who can wield it superhuman and magical abilities and shortly after the birth of Arcane energy new gods begun to appear and influence the species of Elysium Many species came into existence but there were multiple more intelligent species that were favored by these new gods that came into existence shortly after the birth of new life. The elves were blessed by the elegant and powerful gods of Elysium led by the phoenix god of power phenix and his children. Though few in number this beautiful and powerful species of creatures were blessed with immortality and a talent for the Arcane arts. Durin the father of all dwarves and the first dwarven god blessed with the power of creation created a species of strong and stubborn species known as the dwarves and blessed them with a mastery over fire forging enchantments and craftsmanship and possessed a legendary knowledge over runes. And then there were the humans. Unlike other species they were not strong individually but made up for it with their large numbers and while they did not possess the blessings of the gods they were blessed with the gift of knowledge and evolution. While other species were discovering fire humans were mastering the use of gunpowder. And instead of focusing on mastering the arcane like the elves or enchantments and runes like the dwarves humanity focused on evolving their technology along with their allies the gnomes. However after a war between these species against the demonic creatures of Helheim 500'000 years ago the secret war between man and the supernatural continues waging on so that the public can continue living in peace.

In the folds between realities, where the laws of nature bend and break, lies a realm that defies mortal understanding. Theltorra - an endless plain where five suns paint the sky and thirteen moons weave their silver threads through the cosmic tapestry. Here, day and night are not mere passages of time, but territories carved into the very fabric of existence. Stand in the Twilight Lands, where most dare to build their lives, and you might see it all - the perpetual radiance of the Eternal Day bleeding into the horizon on one side, its searing light a prison for those who dared to hide their crimes in shadow. Turn to the other horizon, and the endless night awaits, a darkness so complete it serves as judgment for those who sinned beneath open skies. But do not mistake Theltorra for a simple realm of justice and punishment. This is a world where magic and machine have danced so long they no longer remember which partner led first. Watch as a traditional dragon soars past, its scales shimmering with elemental might, while its mechanical cousin thunders alongside, its breath transmuting matter through the very laws of chemistry. Ancient unicorns gallop through twilight meadows, their horns glowing with healing magic, as their cybernetic counterparts race beside them, dispensing nanites that knit flesh and mend bone. Here, a hobbit might rise to challenge gods, while a demon's AI construct ponders the nature of digital souls. Elven bio-engineers work alongside dwarven cyber-miners, their differences set aside in the eternal competition for resources - at least for today. Tomorrow, they might be at each other's throats, for the law of the jungle rules all, from the humblest goblin tinker to the mightiest wandering god. Speaking of gods - look to the spaces between spaces, and you might glimpse them. The wandering ones, hundreds from each species, beings who transcended their mortal forms through power, immortality, and mysteries yet untold. Some were once Wardens, those eternal guardians of Day and Night who watched over their realms until they ascended beyond even that duty. Others found their own paths to divinity, their legends whispering hope to those who dream of following in their footsteps. But take care as you travel these lands. The bridges spanning prison zones might seem secure, the blockades impenetrable, but Theltorra brooks no complacency. In the Eternal Day, prisoners harvest resources under never-ending light, while in the Eternal Night, their counterparts toil in perpetual darkness. Even free citizens brave these zones, testing their might against the realm's harshest conditions for the chance at gathering precious materials. This is Theltorra - where human cyborgs wage war against demon-sourced AI, where hobbit and goblin carry on an age-old rivalry with both blade and binary code, where every being from the smallest nanite collective to the greatest mechanical dragon might one day rise to godhood. A realm of endless plains and endless possibilities, where light and shadow do not mark time's passage, but territory's boundaries, and where the next wandering god might arise from the most unexpected place. Welcome to the eternal plains, traveler. Mind the dragons - both flesh and metal - and remember: in Theltorra, destiny knows no species, only potential.

In a world where the echoes of ancient wars still resonate, the battle for humanity's survival continues. Demons, vile creatures of unimaginable power, have plagued the earth for centuries. Unlike anything known to man, these demons feed on the negativity, hatred, and despair of the human soul, growing stronger with every flicker of darkness they find. With their monstrous strength and supernatural abilities, they lay waste to towns, cities, and villages, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake. But there is hope. A sacred order of warriors known as the wardens people blessed with a power called grace with the ability to imbue weapons and armor stands as humanity’s last line of defense. Damian a well know warden with a hard attitude towards life and plagued with a troubling past of loss, carves his way to avenge his family and fallen squad that met their end by the hand of a great demon that eludes him on his deathmatch mission he meets the twin girls named Clara and Elena who posses grace. He must protect them while trying to hunt down the accursed demon that took everything

“Robert must be told,” Ned said. “If what you say is true, if even a part of it is true, the king must hear it for himself.” “And what proof shall we lay before him? My words against theirs? My little birds against the queen and the Kingslayer, against his brothers and his council, against the Wardens of East and West, against all the might of Casterly Rock? Pray, send for Ser Ilyn directly, it will save us all some time. I know where that road ends.” “Yet if what you say is true, they will only bide their time and make another attempt.” “Indeed they will,” said Varys, “and sooner rather than later, I do fear. You are making them most anxious, Lord Eddard. But my little birds will be listening, and together we may be able to forestall them, you and I.” He rose and pulled up his cowl so his face was hidden once more. “Thank you for the wine. We will speak again. When you see me next at council, be certain to treat me with your accustomed contempt. You should not find it difficult.” He was at the door when Ned called, “Varys.” The eunuch turned back. “How did Jon Arryn die?” “I wondered when you would get around to that.” “Tell me.” “The tears of Lys

After living in hellish prison for 16 years, you're finally rescued. But what do you do when you soon realize that there is now a thread, a connection to the warden you've escaped from? BLURB: He could clearly see the way the water droplets ran down her back. The brown curls, almost black due to being wet, stuck to it, gave such an alluring contrast to her skin that seemed to glow in the moonlight. She turned, causing her ample breast to come into view. A single droplet hung precariously from a pebbled nipple. Was his eyesight always this sharp? It appeared like a pearl, begging to be licked away. He groaned as he could almost taste the cool freshness on his tongue before it was replaced with the heat of her flushed skin. Unzipping his jeans caused his member spring forth, drenched in the constant precum that flowed. Just the thought of sucking on her breast made him groan in frustrated desperation. He buried his face between the fleshly orbs. Biting and licking, he was pleased to see his marks on her skin. A fierce desire to possess came over him and even his wolf growled at the feeling. How is it that she smells even better that the soap she just used? Other Omegas used the same kind, yet their smell would cause his stomach to feel upset. Inhaling again, he pinning her against a tree. The same tree he was hiding behind before. Lifting her up, he devoured her lips while wrapping her long legs around his waist. Slightly bending his knees, he entered her in one deep thrust. She was hot and tight. So tight that if it wasn't for her juices, he wouldn't be able to move. Gripping himself tighter, his imagination became wild. Just thinking about her breathy moans or her screams of pleasure caused a shudder to pass through him as he came into the tissue he had thoughtfully grabbed. Why, why not just take what he so obviously wants? What's stopping him? If it were anyone else, he would have slacked his lust, had some fun, and moved on. The fact that this question ran through his mind without an answer was the reason for his pain.

At the dawn of a new era, on the verge of the industrial revolution, the world was on the brink of great discoveries and changes. But, while scientists and explorers were pushing the boundaries of their countries and the possibilities of technology, one continent remained hidden, shrouded in mystery and legends. This newly discovered continent, known among intellectuals as 'Novus Mundi', became the last refuge for those eager for wealth, power, and discovery. From all corners of the world, people with different skills, hopes, and dreams headed towards Novus Mundi, driven by tales of unexplored riches and wonders. As newcomers arrived with advanced tools and knowledge of machines, led by the early stages of the industrial revolution, they were not prepared for what they found. Novus Mundi was not only home to unexplored natural beauties and resources but also a world of magic and mysteries. The natives of this continent, wise in ancient arts and in harmony with nature, wielded magic in ways that technologically advanced strangers could scarcely imagine. The island was home not only to people who lived in harmony with nature, using magic for everyday life, but also to wondrous creatures that legends depicted as myths. Novus Mundi was a world where magic and science collided and intertwined. The conflict and cooperation between colonizers and natives, technology and magic, became the foundation for new stories, legends, and conflicts. While some sought ways to exploit the continent's resources, others sought understanding and harmony between the two worlds. Through this conflict and cooperation, Novus Mundi became a living stage for adventures, discoveries, and, above all, a new chapter in human history. The Black Tree waits for no one. --------------------------------------------------------- English is my fourth language, sorry if my writing is sometimes unconventional.

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.

Although friendly, this musician of his was keeping secrets, and as the curious child he was, he wants to unravel them all. On Mainland Europe, we follow a landgrave and a burgrave.

Only the hands of fate will tell what will happen through this mess.

“I didn’t ask for this. I wasn’t born a knight, and I’ve never been anyone’s protector. But now, thanks to a stubborn princess who refuses to let me go, I’ve become her Warden. On the surface, my job sounds simple—keep her safe, stay by her side, and try not to lose my sanity. Her days are filled with royal routines and expectations, but mine? Mine are spent making sure she doesn’t fall into trouble—or drag me into it. But there’s something unsettling about her calm smiles and soft words. I don’t see the strings she’s pulling, but I feel them—subtle, deliberate, tightening around me day by day. She doesn’t just want my protection. She wants me. And while I focus on keeping her safe, I can’t help but wonder if I’m the one who needs protecting. I’m the Princess’s Warden. Her shield, her shadow, her keeper. And somehow, I get the feeling that I’ll never escape her.” patreon.com/KaiRitz

What begins as a typical evening transforms into a nightmare when Adam stumbles upon glowing, living symbols carved into his dining table—symbols that speak in a language no human should understand. With a single touch, Adam unlocks a gateway to a shadowy dimension governed by unearthly laws. There, he encounters a mysterious entity that names him the "Warden of Shadows," the last scion of a bloodline tasked with guarding the equilibrium between light and darkness. But this inheritance is no gift; it’s a curse, burdened with dark secrets about his family and the true nature of his existence.

As betrayal, loyalty, fear, and courage collide, Adam embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the origins of his power and the hidden truths about his world. Each revelation pulls him closer to an ultimate decision: will he embrace his destiny and master the shadows, or reject it and become their first victim?

Z was born into darkness—both literal and metaphorical. Blind yet cursed with an uncanny ability, he’s a survivor in a world teetering on the edge of madness. After a catastrophic encounter with destruction left him scarred, Z became bound to the Ladder, a nightmarish construct governed by gods, entities, and unnameable existences. The rules are simple: climb or perish. Each rung brings Z closer to unfathomable truths—and further into danger. Among Climbers with extraordinary powers and sinister agendas, Z must move in treacherous alliances, decode the cryptic whispers of the gods, and face scenarios designed to test the limits of sanity. But as lies swirl and the unknown beckons, Z realizes something darker than survival lies at the Ladder’s peak: an answer to the scars he bears, the truth of his cursed path, and a confrontation with the incomprehensible forces pulling the strings. In a world where trust is as fleeting as the air you breathe, Z must embrace the Chaos within to become what he was destined to be—the Warden of Chaos. Enter a realm where lies are currency, and survival is the ultimate gamble.
