Hope Stone

Sword in Stone

Artie had lived her whole life feeling like a joke. Whether it came to her full name, her parents ‘abandoning’ her and her next door neighbours taking her in, or finding out that her lover was part of a cult and was cheating on her. Said lover then stabbed her. It felt like she just couldn’t catch a break. So when she found herself in a puddle of her own blood, staring up at a fake painted sky, she could only find humour in the situation, and prayed that the next life was kinder. Only she woke up. In the same body, with the same stab wound, only in a world full of magic, swords, and a dead King Arthur? Yup. The round table existed, the knights existed, and so did everyone of legend that she’d heard about as a child. Only it was the beginning of their tales. Nothing had happened yet, except the formation of Camelot, the crowning of the King, and then the sudden death of the King of Legend, King Arthur Pendragon. She would have thought this was another cruel joke if everyone wasn’t wandering around in mourning clothes. If this was a practical joke, it wasn’t a very funny one. Artie was tired. She’d already spent almost a decade working as a police officer, and then a detective, so she felt like she had earned her peace. Especially after all the shit she’d been put through, but someone had different plans. And Artie’s life wasn’t quite done yet. In fact, it seemed like in the eyes of the creatures of this world, this was where she was always meant to be. The time she spent getting her ass handed to her in the other dimension? Just a warm up. And now she was expected to just…go along with what everyone else wanted her to do? Including magical beings who were responsible for taking her from one dimension to another. Artie felt like she was in over her head, even if there were several concerned, attractive knights around her. She wasn’t sure if she was going to run away from all the new responsibilities, or embrace them. She wasn’t a rule breaker by nature, but maybe now was the time to change?

Rebirth of Hopes

Dear Readers, Before diving into the story synopsis, let me introduce you to an exciting world of interconnected tales, each exploring different themes and ultimately coming together in a grand narrative. Welcome to the Shadowverse: An Epic Interconnected Universe I’m thrilled to introduce you to the Shadowverse, an expansive and experimental universe where stories and characters are deeply interconnected. Within this universe, I’ve created three distinct narratives, each with its own rich journey and character development. While each story concludes with a proper and satisfying ending, they all contribute to a grander narrative that reaches its peak in the final chapters of Rebirth of Hope. 1. Rebirth of Hope (Fantasy and Adventure: New Tropes) In a fractured world, powerful bloodlines clash in a deadly tournament to rebuild the Alderson Disk, Earth’s last hope for survival. As alliances shift and rivalries intensify, a prophecy looms, foretelling a savior who will guide humanity’s fate. The future of Earth hangs in the balance as the tournament unfolds. 2. Shadow Ascension (Villain) Delve into the rise of darkness within the Shadowverse as ambitious figures seize power through any means necessary. This story explores the motivations and machinations of those who will stop at nothing to reshape the world in their image, setting the stage for an epic confrontation. 3. The Obsidian Voyage (System) Embark on a daring journey across uncharted realms as explorers seek the lost secrets of an ancient civilization. The stakes are high, as the knowledge they uncover could either save their world or doom it, with every decision impacting the broader Shadowverse. Throughout these tales, you’ll discover references and connections between the stories, which I will highlight in the chapters where they appear. These connections weave a complex and engaging web that leads to a thrilling conclusion in the Shadowverse. I hope you enjoy this new experimental concept as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it. Your support and feedback are invaluable as we explore this universe together! Welcome to the Shadowverse where every story matters, and where your adventure is just beginning. Story Synopsis: In a future where Earth lies in ruins, the destruction of the Alderson Disk has left the planet shattered, with half of it uninhabitable. The remaining half is divided into 14 nations, each ruled by powerful bloodlines with unique abilities tied to ancient weapons. These bloodlines have governed their lands for centuries, but survival is becoming increasingly difficult as resources dwindle and the wasteland encroaches. The only hope lies in a prophecy that foretells the Reborn Disk, a tournament to choose a warrior who will guide humanity in reconstructing the Alderson Disk. However, there is a lingering fear that the prophecy might be wrong, and the chosen warrior could be the very force of pure evil that leads to destruction instead. Thorne Malrath, a warrior from the Malrath bloodline, is skeptical of this prophecy but finds himself thrust into the tournament, where the stakes are higher than ever. Beyond the shattered lands live the Outlanders, non-bloodline survivors who have mastered science and technology. They seek to rebuild the Alderson Disk for their own survival, leading to a clash of ideologies with the bloodline warriors. As both groups race to gather the vast resources needed, they must confront ancient secrets, deadly creatures, and the vast challenges that lie ahead. The story follows Thorne, King Tiberius, Olivia, Garek,Lucien, and other powerful warriors as they navigate a world where science and magic collide. They must unite with the Outlanders to rebuild the Alderson Disk, but mistrust and old grudges threaten their fragile alliance. With the future of Earth hanging in the balance, the final battle will determine whether the world is reborn or falls into chaos.

Stone to the Mound

In the remote mountains of Appalachia, sixteen-year-old Daniel Cooper has an unusual talent. He's known in his rural community for his uncanny ability to throw stones with incredible speed and precision, even curving them mid-air to hit his target. For Daniel, this skill is simply a part of his life, used to hunt or entertain friends, until a fateful encounter changes everything. When James Larkin, a former professional baseball pitcher known as the “King of the Mound,” crashes his small plane near Daniel’s village, he stumbles upon Daniel displaying his extraordinary throwing abilities. Intrigued and sensing raw, untapped potential, James realizes he’s found a rare talent – one that could be honed for greatness on the baseball field. Driven by his own dreams of reviving a struggling high school team and haunted by memories of his glory days, James offers Daniel a chance to leave behind his quiet, isolated life and pursue a future he never imagined. But the path isn’t easy. As Daniel steps onto the baseball diamond for the first time, he faces challenges far beyond the stones he threw back home. He must learn to navigate the intricacies of the game, master a new kind of throw, and confront a world that’s both exhilarating and unforgiving. Alongside his newfound mentor, Daniel discovers that his greatest battle will be overcoming self-doubt and proving he belongs among those with far more polished skills and experience. Legacy on the Mound follows Daniel’s journey from a small-town underdog with a rural gift to a determined young man chasing an unexpected dream, inspired by a coach with his own story to tell. In this tale of mentorship, grit, and the unbreakable bond forged between coach and player, Daniel learns that with the right guidance, even the most unconventional talent can be a game-changer.
