Bards Lament

Commander Herman is celebrated as one of the world's elite soldiers, known for his unmatched combat skills and sniper precision. After a grueling deployment, he finally takes a well-deserved vacation to a serene beach, seeking relaxation and escape from the chaos of warfare. As he swims in the crystal-clear waters, an inexplicable force suddenly pulls him under, and darkness envelops him. When Herman opens his eyes, he finds himself surrounded by a bizarre assembly of creatures: beasts with human-like features and animal ears. Confusion floods his mind as a talking wolf steps forward, explaining that they have summoned him for help. "Human," it declares, "we use our remaining power to summon you. We need your strength to protect us." Herman struggles to process the situation. Is this some elaborate prank? As he questions his surroundings, another creature growls in frustration, lamenting their choice of summoning a mere human instead of a powerful dragon or god. Disoriented and skeptical, Herman begins to explore this strange new world, grappling with the reality that he is no longer on the beach. The wolf leader insists that despite being human, Herman possesses something special that could turn the tide in their battle against looming threats. As tensions rise among the summoned beings, Herman realizes this is no dream—it's a desperate plea for help from creatures who believe he is their last hope. With doubts swirling in his mind and a sense of duty igniting within him, Commander Herman must decide whether to embrace this unexpected calling as their protector or find a way back to his previous life. Little does he know that this new world will challenge everything he thought he knew about strength and survival.

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like if your dick exploded? Or if voodoo or black magic actually worked? Axel got a crash course in both after leaving a one-star review for a trashy smut novel where the hapless author-san offed a minor villain. Little did he know that this particular author had some serious power. Suddenly, Axel found himself in the body of the very villain he was lamenting, right at the moment when everything was about to spiral into chaos. Now, with a second chance at life (and a brand-new set of problems), Axel must navigate the wild world of villainy—complete with explosive consequences and dark magic—if he wants to rewrite his story before it ends in disaster.

The world of Anexia is rotting. The Mist has taken hold over entire continents and continues to spread, not content until the entire world is under its control. Raorka, along with his mother Zoe and father Zack, are thrust into this world after an accident. However they wake up at different parts of the world. Raorka wakes up near the Domed Town of Temuril, where inhabitants speak of the cursed dragon in the woods and the exiled witch who teaches magik...for a price. Zack wakes up near the town of Odania where the red cloaked Chianti Hunters battle against the tyrant mayor and the last Great Kingdom. Zoe awakens near the abandoned Church of Laments, where the cries of persecuted nuns echo, praying for the return of their Goddess and her blessings. Now they journey separately, desperate to reunite with each other amidst the chaos of a dying world.

"Honey, I'm hungry again!" "Get lost! As far away as possible... No, I want a divorce, the kind that happens immediately!" Bai Xiao lamented. Her parents had set her up; divorce was her life goal! When she fought, he cheered her on. When she started fires, he helped by bringing gasoline... Everyone envied and sighed, "With a husband like this, what's there to be unsatisfied with? Could it be..." Bai Xiao, with tears of bitterness, "If I don't run now, when will I ever?"

How long can one ignore the voices in their head? Nine years. To Mark, that was the limit. For the majority of his life, Mark White has been fighting a constant battle for his sanity. The voices in his head pushed him toward madness one whisper at a time, and the music he used to ward against them was gradually losing its effects. As his mental state slowly deteriorated, Mark spent more of his time working on a game he had been developing and lamenting his lack of romantic experience. One night, the voices dealt him a powerful blow, bringing their battle to an end. To his surprise, Mark won the battle, but that came at a great cost. The voices might have disappeared, but a visual hallucination arrived to replace them, taking the form of a character from his game: Maids VS Apocalypse. Little did he know that the real apocalypse was already coming for him. ======================================= Check out my other work! Valkyrie Smash.

In a realm of mortals, a monster stirred into existence. Initially adrift in purpose, the creature resolved to guard its progenitors, the girl who came before, he intended to defend and protect all of them. As times unfolded, the monster adeptly concealed itself behind the visage of a mortal, humanoid in nature, he easily donned the guise, the mask of a human being. Yet, fear not, for the tale did not conclude there. A young man's agonized wail pierced the nocturnal silence, a lament for all he lost, for all he wished to protect, challenging the heavenly realms and defying the very essence of existence. In his rebellion, the world recoiled, deeming him unworthy of breath, a rejection that ushered his drowning into oblivion. Amidst the struggle for survival, an otherworldly entity took notice. "Perhaps…? Let's test the fortitude of his will!" As the youth teetered on the brink of unconsciousness, a voice resonated in his mind. [Notice: Legendary Skill Reincarnation Acquired!] [Reincarnation has been activated!] ... In a cosmos where gods, devils, humans, myths, and dreams converge into reality, the monster finds rebirth. Yet, navigating this new existence proved arduous, for the world demanded a toll for every breath he took and every moment of joy in it. And such a toll… it will be paid with his life once more. Will the human-masked monster triumph… Or will he fall just like a hundred times before? Let me see an end to it, but now… will you join me, Mortal!? ----------------------------------- Chapter Length: 1700-2400 words. The Mc is a kind of psychopath who wore a mask throughout his life, but I would not easily condemn him as neither good nor evil. (And before you ask. Yes, the MC is kind of a yandere as well.) There will be a harem, but much later or until I start liking another girl character. There is some dark stuff, be it burning flesh, dissecting, blood, extreme agony... Or whatever else, I just want to say if you don't like it be prepared that they are not uncommon here since the MC will show the monster everyone told him to be. A question that arose... When does someone become a monster, do you know? I don't know the specifics either, let's find out... That's it have a nice read, my fellow humans. ;)

In the world of Tiamat, mortals are playthings for the gods—summoned to serve, survive, and entertain an unseen audience. Alain, an ordinary man from Earth, gets thrust into this world through an unexpected summoning, quickly stripped of his humanity and transformed into "Pebble," a brawny, low-intelligence character with a unique class called "The Battery." Tasked with walking a mysterious "Forest Path," Pebble quickly learns that his fate is being controlled by divine entities who act as his omniscient spectators, granting rewards, issuing tasks, and meddling with his every move. Pebble, with his new identity and peculiar skill set, teams up with an unlikely party of heroes: Phil, the eager snake-man rogue; Fred, the elderly wizard with unsteady but surprising powers; Bard, the charismatic musician; and Puffy, the foul-mouthed gnome who offers both guidance and exasperation. As Pebble struggles to navigate the rules of his new reality, he faces off against monsters, bandits, and divine "challenges" that range from inconvenient to life-threatening. Along the way, Pebble encounters gods who meddle in his life—sometimes offering aid, sometimes just making things harder. Among them are Glurt, the playful trickster; Artia, the shrewd, vengeful and alluring goddess; Aphrodite, who has her own plans for Pebble; and Reeki, the mysterious Mountain God who seems to have taken a special interest in him. As Pebble's viewership grows, he gains more power—but also more problems, as the gods begin to influence his decisions, pushing him toward a fate even he doesn’t fully understand. Haunted by his past life and the slow erosion of his Earthly hobbies and habits, Pebble tries to make sense of his role in this divine game. Aided by his comrades he must balance the absurdity of his situation with the reality of high-stakes danger. His class, "The Battery," holds mysterious potential that he's only beginning to uncover, and the path ahead is riddled with tasks that could lead him to greatness—or end his journey prematurely. Combining elements of dark humor, epic fantasy, and unpredictable divine interference, The Story of Pebble follows the adventures of a hero who never asked to be one, struggling to forge a path forward in a world where the line between game and reality is blurred—and where the gods are always watching.

I found myself in a parallel universe, awakening as a male priest. Everything seemed perfect; after all, as a healer, specializing in aiding women should pose no issue, right? However, I couldn't help but wonder about some peculiar spells in my repertoire. Firstly, what in the world is the "Instantaneous Outbreak of Acute Gastroenteritis" spell? And don't even get me started on the "Osteoporosis" spell. What purpose could these serve in my healing endeavors? The confusion only deepened with spells like "Blood Burn," "Gradual Freeze," and "Mental Chaos." Can I still peacefully focus on healing women with such ominous abilities? Comparing my spells to those of other professions, I couldn't help but notice the stark contrast. Mages wield "Doomstorm" and "Ice Age," swordsmen boast "Sword Rain: Homecoming" and "Wind-Cutter Slash," while archers showcase "Arrow Rain: Shooting Stars" and "Storm Arrow." Yet, my ultimate spells are disturbingly named "Cancer Cell Proliferation," "T-Virus Infection," and "Rabies Outbreak." In the midst of it all, a certain character, some crying girl, laments, "Noooo, I just took a bath, who would have thought that I would become infected!" Meanwhile, a villain chillingly asks, "Do any of you know what it feels like to burst apart while spouting blood? No! You don't know!" Even a boss character confesses, "Dear family, who can understand? I just took a nap, and when I woke up, I suddenly found that I have no kidneys!"

"If she's grieving, don't keep showing up and pitying her. This is where you'll end up being swallowed by the love from your own words."

She is the one who starts her journey of discovering what life really is through a flawed philosophy.

"Hope has returned after walking the path, moving forward without being filled with human corpses. At first, those without blood began to have it, like imitators of life called humans."

Life doesn’t have to be dictated by what has been written, for humans have the right to choose their own paths, just as they did at the moment of their creation.

The red in her eyes was the brightest crimson. The nails clawed onto her pray was scarlet red. Her hair swished behind her, braided, like a wild animal's tail. " ZONISH! NO! You are better than this. Let him go! " The sound rang like a distant lament in Zonish's burning red ear lobe. Zonish had been cursed to be a Demon. It wasn't something she chose. She had been running for most of her life, trying best to be as non-existant as she could. Destiny brings her to a fated town. Where she experienced love and relationships for the first time. For the first time her life started feeling real............. "Zonish! It's time for you to decide. Who is it gonna be? Him or me? " Zonish looked from Carter to Fazi. The two most important beings in her life. Both from the rival species. The Hunters. But the rivalry was not important at the moment. She needed to pick between the two. As in, who got to live. She could not dare imagine loosing one for the other. ............. What turns of fate triggers the forbidden love story between a She-Devil and two Hunters? One who was the strongest one in their species. The other one still ignorant of his potential. ............ " Zonish! Tell me honestly. Tell me God Damn it girl! Was it... Was it you who killed my father? " Fazi was as shocked at this revelation as the realisation that he was not an ordinary human, but a Hunter. This is the first book in the series of books that takes one inside this universe. A world with Demons, Gatekeeper, Darklings and Guardians. A world with secrets, bad bloods and above all love triangles. May be I can put it as ,even a quadrilateral? Pentagon perhaps? .... #This book has been exclusively completed on Dre*me, plz find it online

In the dark, under a strange-looking tree, a lady around twenty-something could be seen clenching her stomach and looking pitiful. She seemed to be in pain and was breathing heavily. Above her in the sky, the color was very black and blurry. Rain started falling, and the thunder was clapping loudly and violently. The wind was very thick, slapping everything harshly. The lady stood with the support of the tree, using one hand to prop herself against the tree and the other hand to hold her stomach tightly. She breathed out and continued moving weakly. "Seems like I'm not going to escape this. What type of poison is this?" she wondered. She unbuckled her belt to relieve some pain, then sat down somewhere and groaned while her hand wandered around on the wet ground until it made contact with something. She picked it up and saw the object with the help of the lightning. The thing was round like a bead, and something joined them together. She did not care about what it was and just swallowed it. She was going to die anyway, at least she ate something. She could not figure out the taste of the thing, but it was surely not normal because as soon as it made contact with her throat, it felt very hot, as if she had drunk hot water that had not cooled. "Sh*t! Even in death, my luck is still very bad," she muttered. She was still lamenting when her aching stomach suddenly stopped aching. She did not have the chance to rejoice when her stomach started swelling up, getting bigger and bigger. It was as if it wanted to burst but, alas, it didn't. She could feel herself in labor. She groaned until something escaped her body - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. She was relieved from both the poison pain and her swollen stomach pain. When she looked at what she had given birth to, she was shocked. Eggs. She had given birth to eggs. And there were six. What happened to the eggs? How did their journey begin? read the full novel. update time:6:00pm *by love gold*

Vlad, a young and feeble vampire, witnesses the brutal massacre of his entire family and clan at the hands of Humans. As despair consumed him, Vlad questioned the unfairness of their plight.

Alticia, a 120-year-old high elf with the grace of a swan (that keeps tripping over its own feet), has one dream: to become a legendary bard who inspires the world with her songs. There’s just one small problem. Her singing is so catastrophically bad that even goblins cover their ears, birds fall from the sky, and the village elder pretends to be hard of hearing. Armed with a handmade staff, an unwavering (and completely misplaced) confidence, and a repertoire of songs that can make plants wither, Alticia sets off to save her village from a goblin invasion. Her plan? Sing them into submission. Join Alticia on a hilariously disastrous journey through a medieval fantasy world where she battles monsters, gets lost in the woods, and somehow—somehow—keeps surviving her own mistakes. Because when you can’t fight, run, or think straight, you just have to sing your way through life. Off-key, of course. Can Alticia turn her "unique" talents into something great, or will her journey be a symphony of chaos?

With friendship as his anchor, will Krucose be able to master his newfound powers or will his journey lead to an ending as unpredictable as the songs he plays?

In the primitive era, Pangu has just opened up the primordial universe. A Primitive World in which the process of creation is still incomplete. Yet already powerful beings walks the earth. Innate gods, powerful immortals spawned from heaven and earth, reincarnations of even older godfiends, primordial beasts born of rage and filled with eternal hunger, and native innate creatures born weaker and helpless. In this time, the fame figures of mythology like the Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, or the Monkey King are yet to exist. It was in this era that a sea god came to be. An impossibility that wasn’t meant to be. A creature that was fundamentally incomplete spiritually, physically, and mentally. A failure by the standards of existence. But all the same, an inhabitant of this archaic world. Can this life shift the course of history? Is the Primitive World destined to walk down the events of Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West? Or will history change to the flapping of a single butterfly? - Moved here because it's not supposed to be under fanfic. If you find that despicable somehow? too bad

In a multiverse teetering on the brink of collapse, Kael Ardyn, a young wanderer, stumbles upon a shard of unimaginable power—a fragment of the Prime Echo, the heart of the Nexus that once bound countless realms in harmony. The shard grants him access to the chaotic energies of Resonance, but its power comes with a heavy price: every use brings him closer to unraveling what little balance remains. Pursued by factions with conflicting goals—the zealous Spiral Choir, the enigmatic Reverie Collective, and the ruthless Silent Path—Kael is thrust into a high-stakes conflict. Each faction seeks control of the shards, claiming they alone can restore the Nexus or reshape it to their will. As Kael struggles to master the shard’s volatile power, he encounters Aeris Saelin, a wandering bard with a sharp tongue and a veiled past, whose knowledge of Resonance may hold the key to his survival. Together, they navigate treacherous realms, uncover ancient Stabilizers that once sustained the Nexus, and face the shadowy remnants of the Prime Echo itself—fragments that speak cryptic truths about the Nexus’s fate. But Kael soon realizes the greatest threat may not lie in the factions hunting him or the monstrous Resonance beasts stalking the realms. Instead, it may be within himself: the shard’s voice grows louder with every battle, its will increasingly at odds with his own. As the Nexus deteriorates further, Kael is forced to confront impossible choices. Will he sacrifice everything to restore balance, even if it means destroying himself—or will he succumb to the shard’s power and risk plunging the multiverse into irreversible chaos? The Nexus Requiem blends high-concept fantasy, multiversal intrigue, and layered character drama into an epic tale of survival, betrayal, and self-discovery. With every decision, Kael’s journey reveals not only the truth behind

A man who thought his past was behind him, a young knight seeking honor and virtue. A princess looking for a way to save her people, a surviving tribal woman out for revenge against those who had attacked her tribe. And a bard just looking to tell the tales of the world. Their paths cross, and through this crossing fate's grand plan is set in motion, and the pieces are moved into place to awaken something erased from the world's records.
