"What happens if we can no longer escape our destiny?" This is the question that haunts Ethan, an ordinary man who suddenly inherits legendary power from an ancient sword that connects him to the god of war. Alongside four equally extraordinary companions—Lila, the illusion mage; Rowan, the fire controller with burning emotions; Asha, the healer with the power of nature; and Kael, the mind controller—Ethan must face a threat greater than any ordinary enemy. Zerathis, the god of darkness, who has long been imprisoned, is now rising with ambitions to conquer the entire world. As they enter an ancient space filled with mysterious symbols, and as they get closer to uncovering a darker truth, the question becomes: "Can they stop Zerathis and break the fate that has already been written?" With every step, they come to realize that it's not just physical power that is needed to stop the darkness, but also the courage to face their greatest fears—the destiny that has been intertwined since ancient times. However, their struggle is not only against physical enemies, but also about questioning their decisions: Should they return to warn the kingdom and face a great battle, or continue their quest to destroy the immediate threat drawing closer? In The Godslayer's Legacy, destiny, friendship, and sacrifice will be at stake in a battle that tests not only the physical strength but also the hearts and souls of the chosen heroes.

In a world where the past is shrouded in myth and the present is governed by unseen forces, a young boy awakens in the heart of a desolate jungle, the world around him disturbingly silent. With no memory of how he arrived, he finds a strange eye symbol glowing on his chest, a mark that feels both foreign and familiar.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Who wants to become president? The story is about how people can try to overthrow a dictator in a rather unusual, unconventional way. After all, any idea manifests itself at a certain and designated time. Ideas - whose time has come - have enormous power. People have known and used magic since time immemorial. All magical rituals are based on supernatural, immaterial forces, incomprehensible and therefore not yet recognized by science. Magical and paranormal phenomena and abilities have much in common, since they use forces and factors that cannot be explained scientifically. All living beings and people are not just material bodies. There is something in them other than matter, and therefore they are able to perceive what is beyond the physical world. Almost always, in order for something fresh, new and better to appear, the rotten old must be destroyed and burned. Fire is a symbol of change, transformation and rebirth. The element of Fire functions at the center of all things - everything came from it and everything will return to it.

Wer möchte Präsident werden? Die Geschichte handelt davon, wie Menschen mit einer eher ungewöhnlichen, unkonventionellen Methode versuchen können, einen Diktator zu stürzen. Schließlich manifestiert sich jede Idee zu einem bestimmten, dafür vorgesehenen Zeitpunkt. Ideen – deren Zeit gekommen ist – haben eine enorme Kraft. Menschen kennen und nutzen Magie seit jeher. Alle magischen Rituale basieren auf übernatürlichen, immateriellen Kräften, sind unverständlich und daher von der Wissenschaft noch nicht anerkannt. Magische und paranormale Phänomene und Fähigkeiten haben viele Gemeinsamkeiten, da sie Kräfte und Faktoren nutzen, die wissenschaftlich nicht erklärt werden können. Alle Lebewesen und Menschen sind nicht nur materielle Körper. In ihnen steckt etwas anderes als die Materie, und deshalb können sie wahrnehmen, was sich außerhalb der physischen Welt befindet. Damit etwas Frisches, Neues und Besseres entsteht, muss fast immer das faule Alte zerstört und verbrannt werden. Feuer ist ein Symbol für Veränderung, Transformation und Wiedergeburt. Das Element Feuer fungiert im Zentrum aller Dinge – alles kam von ihm und alles wird zu ihm zurückkehren.

"Who am I?" The question hits me like a frying pan to the face as I wake up in a dimly lit shed that reeks of mildew and regret. My memory? Wiped cleaner than a crime scene. My composure? Currently MIA. Replacing it? A delightful cocktail of terror and existential dread, shaken, not stirred. The shed is a Pinterest fail of nightmares: blood dripping from the ceiling (artsy, really), creepy symbols etched into the walls (probably cursed), and a general vibe that screams you’re not supposed to be here. And let’s not forget the cherry on top—the suffocating feeling of being watched. Lovely. Every instinct I have is shouting, Get out now! But where exactly am I supposed to go? The walls are practically breathing, humming like they know all my secrets, which is impressive considering I don’t even know them myself. No name, no memories, no idea what fresh hell this is—just me, my rising panic, and the unsettling realization that survival might not even be the point. But hey, when the alternative is becoming wall graffiti for a haunted shed, I guess I don’t have much of a choice.
