Beast of Aetheria

In the vibrant, untamed world of Aetheria, Beasts and humans coexist, their lives intertwined by the mystical energy of Aether Cores and Crystals. Beasts thrive in diverse ecosystems—from the serene grasslands to stormy highlands—drawing strength from their surroundings, while humans harness the elemental power of Aether through runic technology and emotional bonds with their Beast companions. Yet, this balance is threatened as whispers of ancient conflicts and a dangerous resurgence of corrupted Aether energy emerge. Eighteen-year-old Kael, a determined explorer with a deep empathy for Beasts, embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of his father, a renowned researcher who vanished in the depths of ancient Aetherian ruins. Armed with his father’s journal, maps from his cartographer mother, and the companionship of his loyal Beast Flamorin (fire/light), Kael ventures into uncharted territories, seeking answers to mysteries buried by time. Joined by Aria, a brilliant strategist and researcher with a passion for preserving Aetheria’s ecosystems, and Dax, a bold and competitive Beast tamer striving to prove himself, Kael's journey becomes one of camaraderie, growth, and discovery. Together, they uncover ancient secrets of Aetheria's past, face powerful elemental Beasts, and encounter rival tamers who seek to exploit Aether for power. As they navigate the ruins of a lost civilization, the trio unravels a chilling truth: an enigmatic figure from Aetheria's history is using corrupted Aether energy to resurrect the catastrophic events of an ancient war. To stop this looming threat, Kael and his friends must forge stronger bonds with their Beasts, master the art of resonance, and unlock hidden evolutionary paths fueled by trust and emotional synergy. In a race against time, Kael learns the true meaning of connection—not just with Beasts, but with the people and world around him. But as the final battle looms, one question remains: will their unity be enough to restore balance to Aetheria, or will the resurgence of corruption tear their world apart?

The Bigshot's Superstar Wife

Once, she was a lone assassin, a shadow moving through the underbelly of society, feared yet utterly alone. Her life ended on a cold, desolate rooftop, betrayed during a mission that should have been her crowning achievement. But death was not the end. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the body of Athena Demerin, the pampered granddaughter of the Northern Duke in the Andromeda Galaxy. Born into privilege, the original Athena was a rising star, determined to carve out a name in the entertainment industry while keeping her noble lineage a secret. Now, with a second chance at life, the assassin-turned-aristocrat is faced with an entirely different battlefield, interstellar fame, and family legacies. But the stakes are higher than ever when she discovers that her new body comes with an unexpected complication. She’s been secretly married to Major General Mors Jericho, a legendary but distant hero with secrets of his own. Thrown into the glittering world of stardom and the cold corridors of military estates, Athena must balance the dreams of the body’s former owner, her duties as a "young madam," and her own assassin instincts. As she navigates these unfamiliar territories, she uncovers hidden truths about her family, the galaxy, and even her enigmatic husband. Can a woman who lived in the shadows find her place under the glaring spotlight of fame? And will she allow herself to open up to the possibility of love in a life she never asked for? With heart-pounding twists, dazzling interstellar settings, and the clash of two wildly different lives, Athena’s journey is one of rediscovery, resilience, and rewriting destiny. Athena: "Major General, do you always lurk in hallways like a ghost?" Mors: "Do you always wander your own house like a lost tourist?" Athena: "I didn’t realize I needed a map for my home. Or are certain areas Mors-Only Zones?" Mors: "Bold. But tell me, is this charm natural, or just for me?" Athena: "Depends. Is your blindness natural, or temporary?" Mors: smirking "Temporary. But even blind, I can tell when someone’s blushing." Athena: huffing "Blushing? You’d need to try harder, Major." Mors: leaning closer "Is that a challenge? Careful, wife... I never lose." Athena: smirking back "Don’t tempt me to prove you wrong." Mors: "Dinner’s in an hour. Let’s see who wins that battle first."

An angel‘s road to hell

What happens if the one transcendent being that cares for mortals fell and got a second chance in a world full of magic, intrigue and possibly even friendships? Does the past determine the future or are we all able to pick our own destiny? An angel, one of the two nigh immortal species in existence, has been hunted and killed by his own kind because he wasn’t prepared to watch silently while his people followed their own desires to whatever end. When, against all odds, he opened his eyes again, he was someone else, his past and powers hidden deep within him. On an ancient world, with advanced magic but medieval technology, he was reborn as Cassandra Pendragon, the youngest daughter of one of the five royal families on Boseiju, the home of the fox tribe, the kitsune. As she grew up, who she was and who she had been, started shaping her future. Forgotten friends and unknown enemies began knocking at her door and while she struggled to find her way between the past and the present, the winds of war were already blowing across her home. I‘ll try to publish at least 2 chapters a week, probably more. The first story arc is pretty much mapped out. Should be around 150 or 160 chapters for the first volume (it’s taking much longer than I expected) and the second one is nearly finished as well. Try it, it should be one hell of a ride. One more thing: the first two chapters are more or less a prologue and if you want to, you can skip them, I wouldn’t recommend it, though. The writing style as well as the perspective shifts dramatically, afterwards. As for trigger warnings: it’s going to get gory from time to time, and the MC often has to pay a toll in blood. Additionally there are -mildly- sexualised scenes, once in a while, but nothing graphic. Lastly, somewhen webnovel changed the description box from female lead to female oriented. It’s mandatory and I can’t change it either way but I have no clue if the book is catering male or female preferences. I hope the description above makes up for whatever confusion it might cause.

The Winds of Liberation

Victor Marcellus, once the visionary leader who united Earth under the 'Roman Federation,' spent his final years in peace after ending humanity's lust for war. But as his body grew frail, the gods of a faraway world saw his potential. In Elysium, a land ravaged by wars and monsters, they saw in him the last hope to restore stability before their followers-and they-faded into nothingness. Before his reincarnation could take place, the gods intervened, recognizing that Victor could accomplish a task he had once completed on Earth: to unite and restore a broken world. They granted him the skill 'Archive of Earth,' a powerful ability that gives him access to humanity's vast knowledge, from the simplest inventions to the most complex theories. But to unlock Earth's most vital secrets, he must earn the trust and prosperity of his people-every advancement comes at a price. Elysium is a dying realm. The kingdoms are fractured, and the races of humans, elves, dwarves, demi-humans, and half-monsters teeter on the brink of extinction. Monsters roam unchecked, while feudal kings wage endless wars. Magic, once a gift from the gods to fight monsters, has been twisted into a tool for conquest. Hope is all but gone. Armed with the wisdom of Earth's past, Victor faces the monumental task of adapting humanity's past knowledge to a world scarred by its own wars. Was he truly the right man for the job? In a world on the brink of destruction, can one man spark the flames of democracy and rebuild society? With Astra, the nation he founded, as a beacon of liberty and hope, Victor must unite Elysium's fractured races. But as he lays the foundation for a new world, can he fulfill his grand vision of liberation-one based on democracy and justice? Or will the weight of his past victories prove too great, as war, magic, and monsters close in from all sides? Authors Note: Credit to @Ross for helping me with the cover, I recommend his work as I collaborate with him in story writing too.
