A Single Stone Meg Mckinlay

The Stone Mask is an action-packed dark fantasy set in a world where strength rules and the weak are crushed. Katsu Blazewood, a rising Ranker with fire-based abilities, dreams of climbing the ranks and proving his worth. Under the guidance of the ruthless Simon Shepard, he faces deadly trials, powerful adversaries, and the harsh truth of what it means to be a Ranker. But when the government launches a brutal invasion in search of a legendary artifact—the Stone Mask—Katsu is thrust into a war far greater than himself. The Stone Mask is said to hold unimaginable power, a relic from a forgotten era that could reshape the balance of the world. But as Katsu uncovers the dark secrets behind it, he begins to question everything: Who truly controls the Rankers? What does it mean to wield power? And most of all—what will he become if he survives?

Year 2035. A groundbreaking game—"Glory Lords: Arcane War"—takes the world by storm. With cutting-edge VR immersion, players can feel the pulse of magic, the tremors of battle, and the weight of every decision. But more than just a game, it becomes the ultimate stage for global esports. Elite teams rise, billion-dollar prize pools emerge, and the entire world is swept into the frenzy. But for Ethan Parker, this isn’t just a game. It’s a gamble with fate itself. Las Vegas. Midnight. A secret high-stakes game. On the table lies the world’s only Legendary-tier artifact—the Stone of Glory. Its value? Far beyond a billion dollars. Because hidden within it is a secret—one that can rewrite the very rules of reality. Ethan bets everything. And loses. In that moment, he doesn’t just lose the artifact—he loses his future. Then, the world changes. The game and reality merge. Earth is no longer the world it once was. Society collapses, replaced by a brutal new order where a person’s rank in "Glory Lords: Arcane War" determines their status in real life. The strongest players become kings. The weakest? Slaves. And the one who won the Stone of Glory—Griffin Musk—rises to absolute power, ruling over this new world as its supreme leader. As for Ethan? Once the #1 player in the world, he loses everything—his account, his status, his freedom. Reduced to the lowest class, he suffers, tortured until his final breath. But now—he’s back. Reborn with the memories of his past life, he returns to the moment it all began. This time, he wins the gamble. This time, he won’t let the world fall into Griffin’s hands. But fate has more in store for him… When he logs into the game, he realizes something is off. Not only is he the first player in the world to own private territory, but he also acquires something unheard of—the only Legendary-tier unit in existence: the Green Dragon. And then—something even more shocking. These two Green Dragons aren’t just powerful units. They’re heroes. With growth potential and combat abilities surpassing even top-tier players, they have the power to change the course of the entire game. At that moment, Ethan knows—his path to the top has begun. But the real world isn’t done with him yet. Governments, military forces, corporate giants, secret organizations—and even Griffin himself—are now watching his every move. This time, it’s not just about revenge. This time, he’s taking control of the future. The war of heroes has only just begun…

Playboy. Lecher. Parasite. Pond Scum. The girls had a lot of names for me, but that never stopped the next one from spreading her legs.

In a world where an endless war rages between two groups of beings, nothing seems as simple as it appears. Humans, once rulers of the lands and skies, now stand against demons who look similar to them, but whose hearts are nothing like human hearts. Demons, cold and ruthless, move through the shadows, never fully revealing their true intentions. What drives them to mercilessly slaughter humans? Why are they always searching for something that even they themselves have forgotten in the darkness of their minds? No one knows. For centuries, humans have grown tired of this war. Since the demons first set foot in the human world, nothing has remained the same. Every corner of the world, from vast plains to desolate forests, stands as a testimony to a war that never ends. Humans know nothing but war now, fighting for survival, fighting to defend their homes. But amid these endless battles, humans finally discovered something that might be their only hope for salvation: the Eternity Stones. These stones, seemingly ordinary and worthless, are actually prisons for the immortal demons. Stones that can trap these dark beings and imprison them forever. But why do these stones possess such power? Why are the demons after them, and why does everything they chase eventually get dragged into these ruthless prisons? The world of humans has changed in a way that nothing is predictable anymore. Beneath every stone and behind every shadow, a threat lurks. Demons draw closer every day to something that could be the key to changing humanity's fate, and humans must find a way to fight back. Can the Eternity Stones still offer a chance for salvation? Or will they, too, become part of the same fate they are trying to escape? The world of humans is no longer what it used to be. Nothing in their familiar world is reliable anymore. The boundaries between reality and legend have shattered, and even the powers that have been used to protect humans may themselves be the greatest threat. In this complicated and mysterious world, no one knows what the future holds. No one knows whether the Eternity Stones are the only way to fight the demons or if something greater than them is waiting behind these endless battles. And the question remains: Will the truth hidden in this war ever be revealed? Or will this war change humanity's fate forever?

To Corvina, half a century alive practicing magic and experimenting with ingredients in the vastness of the world was obvious; she was a Witch, after all, and it was her job to pioneer new avenues of magic and alchemy so that the rest of the world might enjoy a better life going forwards. Power came to her naturally, her fifty years of life having been devoted to acquiring it, and while she very much enjoyed the solitude of being a Witch, things change when someone interesting pops into her life all of a sudden. A weird, peculiar woman about half her age, saying things that don't make sense, doing things and acting in ways that seemed far too... practiced to simply be the mistakes that she claims they are; this woman caught Corvina's interest, especially since she was a hopeful woman with paltry skills in magic attempting to become a Witch. And yet where others found her to be merely a intriguing yet worthless prospect, Corvina saw something in her, something that she wasn't entirely aware would spark into something that would change her life forever. This is going to be a romance between a futanari (Corvina) and a woman, with quite a fair amount of smut eventually when everything has reached that point between them; there will be no PoV switches as I want to show everything from the older, more 'set' character compared to the fascinating and mysterious woman she meets. Fantasy, more about character interaction than action, slice of life between two interesting characters, and even more generic yet comforting chapters to read (hopefully) daily... If you like Futa on Female, Yuri, Fantasy and a good story, then please come on in and read~!

Attending the most prestigious academy in the realm? That was already a challenge. Raising a child at the same time? Nearly impossible. Hiding it from everyone because of a ridiculous rule? That made Leo “Leonidas” Promachos' life a battlefield unlike any other. At just nineteen, Leo never expected to juggle exams, duels, mercenary work, and late-night feedings. In a world where magic is everything, being a father might just be the greatest battle of all.

This is a compilation of my one shit. It's called shit because I think it is shit. Anyways, you can use it as reference if you're planning on writing or you can just copy my work and make it a whole story. Just leave a name of your work so I can read it.

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?

"Daddy, please don't turn off the lights. The monsters will find me." Ana pleaded as she pulled the covers up to her nose. “Don't worry, Ana. There's no such thing as monsters." Frank answered before flexing dramatically, earning a giggle from her, "Besides, if they tried to hurt you, I'd just beat 'em up!" "Promise?" "Promise." He kissed her forehead before he tucked her in and turned off the light. "Goodnight, angel." --- The world changed overnight. A mysterious system appeared in everyone’s minds announcing the detection of a “Breach.” Monsters unlike anything humanity had ever seen before began to emerge, immediately ending one-third of the world's population. And that was just in the beginning. Every father wants to be their daughter’s hero. It’s an unspoken rule written into every man’s DNA. But most fathers aren't pitted up against eight legged abominations. Frank was just an ordinary man; no training, no experience, just depression and a four year old. Yet, he was all that stood between Ana and certain death. If that's the way it was, then he couldn't back down. He made a promise, and he would keep it or die trying. Luckily, the world wasn’t entirely merciless. This "System" granted humanity a fighting chance: otherworldly gifts and powers that defied the laws of nature. While Frank's gift wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, it did give him power. Power enough to hopefully keep his daughter safe, and punish the monsters that dared threaten her in the first place!

[DROPPED: currently picking up my motivation and starting a new one] "Everyone is born single. Kaya naman yung mga sikat na acronym na NBSB, NGSB, malamang sa malamang ay totoo. Wala naman sigurong tao na pinanganak na may karelasyon na, kahit pa nga ang arrange marriage eh hindi natutuloy kase maaaring hindi nila gusto ang isa't-isa." Single had no qualms being a single. She literally is not interested in engaging in any kind of romantic episode. Anong pake niya sa relationship na yan, hindi naman nagiging monetary ang investment doon. Sayang pa sa oras at ATP. And yes! Isa siyang dakilang NBSB ng taon, halata naman siguro sa pangalan niya.

The young man, Huang Jin, who secretly worked in a special profession, received a call from his boss at the onset of the zombie outbreak. His boss instructed him to stay put in City C and wait for the organization’s rescue. However, time passed quickly, and after waiting for two long years, Huang Jin still hadn’t heard from anyone. Determined, the young man decided to venture on his own to City Z, where his boss was. Along the way, he encountered a rescue dog, abandoned by its owner, and a seven-year-old girl named Jiu’er, who, though a zombie, still retained her sanity. Thus began the apocalyptic journey of one man, one dog, and one zombie.

Two friends. One mysterious 'System'. A second chance at life. Adrian and Marcus never expected to die young. Yet, when they awaken in a cosmic void, a voice gives them a compensation deal: reincarnation in a brand-new world, with their memories and sense of being intact. Given a finite pool of Karmic Points, they must carefully choose their advantages, their starting position, and even the world itself where they will be reborn. Adrian—ever the strategist—opts for long-term gain, while Marcus, impulsive and bold, just craves excitement. Together, they make a fateful decision: they will be reborn as a minor noble brothers in the Azura Federation, a land of shifting allegiances, merchant-noble, and cutthroat politics. When the time comes to spend their last remaining Karmic Points, Marcus proposes a radical gamble: rather than buying minor advantages, they sacrifice everything for unrestricted access to the System’s hidden exchange mechanics. The deal is struck—but at a cost they don’t fully understand. Now, as they navigate a world of noble houses, military conflicts, and hidden agendas, Adrian and Marcus must use every advantage at their disposal to not only survive this life—but to try finding a way of securing their place in the next cycles of life in the far future. What happens if they fail? If their Karmic points reach zero when they die in this new life they are about to embark? The System refuses to say. With magic, danger, and unseen cosmic forces lurking in the shadows, the two must play the ultimate game of strategy. But as they rise, one other question always looms over them: Did they even have a chance to break the System… or did the System merely just trap them in an even deeper game?

Certainly, love can indeed be a complex and intricate experience to navigate! Understanding the emotions and relationships within the context of a love web can be both compelling and challenging.
