Sleepy Hollow

Black Hollow, a secluded town shrouded in perpetual mist and steeped in ancient mystery, has long been a place of whispered legends and unspoken fears. When Lila Harper receives a cryptic letter summoning her to the eerie town, she is thrust into a dark and dangerous journey that intertwines her fate with the shadowy forces that haunt the land. As Lila unravels the secrets of Black Hollow, she discovers the existence of the Veil a fragile barrier separating the mortal world from a realm of malevolent darkness. Chosen as the guardian of the Veil, Lila must navigate the treacherous forest, confront spectral figures, and uncover long-buried truths about her past. Each step she takes brings her closer to the heart of the Veil and the terrifying revelation of what lies beyond it. Haunted by visions, hunted by shadows, and guided by cryptic warnings, Lila learns that the Veil is weakening, and its collapse would unleash unimaginable horrors upon the world. To restore balance, she must make impossible sacrifices and confront the darkness within herself. But as the shadows close in, the line between light and darkness blurs, and Lila must decide how far she is willing to go to protect the world and whether she can emerge unscathed from the battle for her soul.

Everett, the unparalleled prodigy of swordsmanship and magic, was forged into the empire’s ultimate weapon. Orphaned by war and adopted by the imperial family, he was never seen as a man—only a blade to wield against humanity’s enemies. His victories were countless, but his triumphs left him hollow, surrounded by the ashes of those he was forced to protect. When the empire falls to the might of Alcardia, Everett’s chains are no longer metaphorical. Captured and powerless, he faces a new reality under the rule of his conquerors. But the matriarch of Alcardia offers him a harrowing choice: execute the emperor he once served or watch the innocent lives he swore to protect perish alongside him. As Everett struggles with the weight of his decision, memories of betrayal and loss resurface, forcing him to confront the broken legacy he carries. In a world that only sees him as a weapon, can Everett reclaim his humanity—or will he forever remain the empire’s broken sword? Legacy of the Broken Sword is a dark, emotional journey of power, sacrifice, and redemption, exploring the burden of loyalty and the cost of a life defined by violence.

Perla had always felt a longing for adventure, stifled by the rules of her strict upbringing and surrounded by her older brothers free to do as they wanted. She longed to carve her own path, to seek out excitement and perhaps even a little romance along the way. One day, while escaping yet another tedious piano class, she stumbled into the hollow of a massive tree. At its base, a mesmerizing green light beckoned her, and before she knew it, she was transported to a bizarre forest teeming with colossal, long-extinct creatures and menacing carnivorous plants. This was the realm of Beastkin, where men could transform into mighty beasts. Here, the constant threat of war had led to a peculiar imbalance, with most females giving birth to male Beastkin, resulting in a dire shortage of women. The land was a battleground, filled with mercenaries and adventurers seeking glory. While the males formed companies to embark on quests, their females stayed behind, living a life of comfort. But not Perla—she was determined to break free from the mold, to grow stronger, and to join her new love interests on exhilarating escapades.

In the year 1018 of the Heavenly Golden Dragon Calendar, the Riverscale Academy hums with life, where young aspirants of the Riverscale Clan seek to master the ancient art of Vein-Weaving—a spiritual connection between the physical body and the life-force known as World Qi. Among these individuals stands Xianlu Koichi, a prodigy with a lineage clouded by hardship and limitations, but fueled by an unyielding resolve to rewrite his destiny. Xianlu’s journey begins within the hallowed halls of Riverscale Academy, where his uncle Yuhen Koichi, a scholar of immense wisdom despite his frail body, imparts ancient tales of the Tea Koi—magical koi infused with the essence of different teas, revered for their power to protect harmony. These stories, filled with battles against the malevolent beasts, inspire Xianlu not just to study, but to transcend his own limitations. For while his veins may falter in conventional cultivation, his mind and understanding of Vein-Weaving offer him a unique path forward—a way to forge a legacy that resonates with the spirit of the legendary Tea Dragons. Through trial and sacrifice, Xianlu discovers his place among the students of Riverscale, earning respect through his keen intellect and compassion. Unlike others born with noble bloodlines, Xianlu relies on the purity of his heart and the unbreakable connection to World Qi. His vision goes beyond power—he seeks to help others who have been told they are unworthy, to carve a space for those deemed ‘less than’ in a society obsessed with lineage and strength. Yet, as Xianlu continues to grow, a deeper destiny stirs within him. It is in the crucible of hardship and failure that he awakens as something more—a master puppeteer of fate itself. Through the mastery of Virtue as his weapon, Xianlu perfects the Riverscale Clan according to his will, reshaping its future with wisdom and compassion. His threads of destiny are not bound by strength alone, but by the subtle manipulation of balance, weaving a new era where the marginalized rise, and harmony is restored through unity.

A century has passed since Emperor Korrun's fall, yet the world remains divided. The factions of the Four Realms vie for power, their goals often at odds with the fragile peace that exists. Whispers of the Sunfire Engine resurface, claiming the ancient weapon still lies buried somewhere, waiting to be unleashed. In the Tideborn Isles, the Ocean Blades prepare for war, while the Sea Shapers struggle to rebuild bridges of peace. In the Emberlands, the Phoenix Legion marches, the Ashen Guild experiments, and the Emberkin Rebellion rises. The Skyhold Peaks are torn between Windcallers and Stormwings, and the Stonecrest Valleys hold fast against the shadows of the Hollow Syndicate. Amid this chaos, two young souls-Kaelina of the Tides and Zyric of the Emberlands-find themselves caught between these factions. Bound by fate and divided by loyalty, they must navigate a world of shifting alliances, ancient secrets, and elemental power. Their choices will determine whether the world finds balance once more-or falls into ruin. (This story was inspired by "Avatar: The last airbender")

Several decades since the last Human War, and the World is almost back at its former glory. The scars of the last War can now only be found in the history books. After two millennia of self destruction, humanity finally managed to unify as a group under the rule of the Six Council. Under its regime, the remaining 156 countries around the world swore an oath to work toward peace and harmony. War becomes a taboo, and any country who breaks this rule will be punished severely. Technology progresses relatively fast in this so-called Utopia. Full dive technology that allows the user to experience a dream like reality known as VR (Virtual Reality) became really popular especially to the gaming industry. A world to escape humanity’s Utopia. Unlike reality who is heavily regulated by the rules and regulations of the Six Council. Virtual Reality becomes a symbol of freedom, far from the shackles that binds the current society. 2064 Human Era, a VRMMO (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online) game, was launched on its Closed BETA test, Hollow Earth Online. With the game under the most popular genres: Action, Fantasy, RPG (Role Playing Game), many people were keen to try and play the game. After all, HEO's predecessor Arcadia Online, a game released by Atlas Inc. several years ago that garnered a few million players around the globe. Unlike Arcadia, HEO’s world is scaled like the world, a virtual reality under a single instance. Just like a typical fantasy rpg, HEO has one thing that reality lacks, “Magic” a phenomena that can’t be explained nor recreated by science. A world where magic exists and you can be whatever you want, or so everyone thought. Several thousand players worldwide received invitations to participate in the three-day Closed Beta Test event. Asriel, a college student, was among those who received an invitation email from Atlas Inc. to partake in the event as a Beta Tester. HEO seemed like just another fantasy VRMMO from a well-known developer, living up to everyone's expectations. However, little did they know, it was actually the prelude to an apocalypse unlike anything humanity had faced in the last two millennia.

Living a normal life is boring, but I was happy with what I had. Even when I spent most of my life in regret and misery, I lived because I had someone that I loved dearly. And that said someone took my life... But fate had different plans for me... As if death wasn't enough for me. As if the gods were mocking me. I got reincarnated into a hardcore romance game that I used to play. That too when the prequel game that I played the most ended twenty-five years ago. A game where death is everyone's mistress. A game that people either liked or hated too much. Now reincarnated into the body of the Villainess's son. I became someone that I hated the most... "Hahaha..." I laughed at my own misery. As if that too wasn't enough, I also became the slave of someone else's desires. Now, one might say a mother is a mother even if the world sees her as a Villainess. But what if your mother is the very incarnation of evil? That your mother is the hurdle that you have to overcome? What if your mother is the very reason you might die? Gentleness and love are the last things one could expect from her. "Hahaha..." Again, a hollow laugh escaped my lips as the realization dawned on me. That I have been... Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son... =============================== [Discord link:- https://discord.gg/5Vgw4JCrBW]

"In the spaces between ones and zeros, worlds are born and die at the whim of their creators. Each keystroke births new lands, each click shapes civilizations, and every careful adjustment weaves the fabric of reality itself. Time flows differently in these digital realms—centuries can pass in moments, while a single day might stretch across millennia. Within these spaces, creators are gods, architects of existence who breathe life into empty bytes, crafting histories that span eons and cultures that echo through carefully constructed time. " Before a glowing screen in a quiet room, Estelle sat in front of a monitor displaying the map of the World of Astris. Her eyes were hollow with exhaustion, finger hovering over the deletion prompt—just a single click could wipe away twelve years of creation in an instant. What began as an escape had become a prison, each of its 67,934 item files a weight upon her shoulders, every revision another chain binding her to this digital realm. Yet as she prepared to end it all, an unexpected option presented itself, one that would blur the line between creator and creation in ways she never imagined.

In a world ravaged by endless wars and conflict, there emerges a legendary hero, Aeris, known as the God of Sword, feared and revered for his unmatched swordsmanship. With his colossal sword, capable of shattering entire mountains with a single strike, Aeris becomes a living legend in the eyes of both allies and enemies alike. For years, he fights on the battlefield to bring peace to the war-torn lands. Finally, after a long and bloody conflict, Aeris faces the Dark King in a final battle, where with a mighty blow, he brings an end to the war and the chaos that once consumed the world. Yet, the victory leaves him hollow inside. Though celebrated by the people, Aeris does not crave praise or glory.

As the king grows old, the task of choosing the next ruler of the kingdom falls upon him, as King Leonte's seven sons each vie for the throne. Each prince has his own strengths, but also fatal flaws. The dilemma now lies with Aeris, who is tasked with determining which of these princes is worthy of ruling and ensuring the future of the kingdom, a kingdom which, ironically, Aeris wishes to leave behind.

Year, 2025. The surface of the world seems ordinary but holds chaos below its serene disguise. Serial killers, demons, and supernatural beings stalk their victims into a dark end, their crime hidden by governments. A hidden organization called The Vanguard protects humankind. Its members, working in the dark, have skills, ancient relics, and highly advanced technology. They hunt and bring out to the open these dark creatures.

Each member of the team brings with them a unique ability and a haunted past: Nicolai, the soldier turned tracker; Dana, the mathematician who bends probabilities; Nikkie, the mimic with a knack for deception; Elie, the physicist wielding the power of decay; AJ, the tech genius crafting devices to trap the unthinkable; Jan, the shadow manipulator with a price to pay; Krist, the body-bending brawler; and Lykan, the seer burdened by glimpses of a fractured future. They would unravel all the secrets behind the cult until they found the real conspiracy behind their threats towards a fragile equilibrium of humanity with the supernatural world. In such a world, where lines of predator and prey blurred into each other, the Vanguard needed to conquer the fears both against the monster and with one another.
