Somber Dragon Smithing Stone

Ethan Smith berjalan di sepanjang jalan yang sepi, rokok di mulut, menggelengkan kepalanya dan memaksakan senyum pahit. Siapa sangka setelah tiga tahun menikah, yang tersisa hanyalah pengkhianatan? Dia bersumpah akan membuat wanita itu menyesal atas apa yang telah dilakukannya dan berjanji membuat semua orang yang baik kepadanya hidup bahagia. Ya, itu dia Emily Taylor, wanita yang membantunya keluar dari jurang keputusasaan saat dia mencapai titik terendah dalam hidupnya. "Emily, saatnya aku menjagamu."

Ethan Smith caminó por la calle vacía, cigarrillo en boca, sacudiendo su cabeza y forzando una amarga sonrisa. ¿Quién podría haber imaginado que después de tres años de matrimonio, todo lo que quedaba era traición? Juró hacer que esa mujer lamentara lo que había hecho y prometió hacer que todos los que habían sido buenos con él vivieran una buena vida. Sí, era Emily Taylor, la mujer que lo había ayudado a salir del abismo de la desesperación cuando tocó el punto más bajo de su vida. —Emily, es tiempo de que me ocupe de ti.

In a world on the brink of chaos, Athavan rises from obscurity to power, armed with an unmatched intellect and a vision that defies destiny. But beneath his calculated moves lies a secret—one tied to an ancient force long forgotten, a mystery that could alter the balance between creation and destruction. As unseen enemies manipulate the world from the shadows, Athavan is thrust into a dangerous game where betrayal is inevitable, alliances are fragile, and power is the only currency that matters. With every step, he uncovers hidden truths that challenge everything he once believed, forcing him to walk the fine line between savior and conqueror. But time is running out. A long-dormant force is beginning to awaken, and Athavan must outmaneuver those who seek to control it—or risk being consumed by the very darkness he fights against. The first volume of the Sacred World series, Sacred Stone, The Rise of Athavan, is a gripping historical fantasy infused with Hindu mythology, military strategy, and high-stakes intrigue—a tale of power, destiny, and the fine line between savior and conqueror.

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?

In short, I have been reborn into a world where the natural elements are both beautiful and deadly at the same time, with ferocious storms and scorching heat waves that can wipe out entire communities. Well this is an unforgiving, unforgiving world where the common cold can kill you, a world where survival applies only to the strong in this world. Here in this world humans are not at the top of the food chain. A world where the sounds of predators echo in the wild, and the threat of hunting lurks around every corner. I'm not afraid. Why should I be afraid? I'm a crimson red dragon living in a forest. Why am I not kidding? I'm a crimson red dragon living in a very dense forest.

This red dragon came from the vast wilderness, coveting all the powers of the world. He has held countless titles: Mountain Fury, Purgatorial Calamity, Red Emperor, Ember Dragon… The world trembles under the shadow of the great dragon. He ignited the surge of the magical industrial revolution. In the empire he established, wyverns roar, cannon fire resounds, steel behemoths appear in the sky and on the earth, and disasters from other worlds run rampant. “Submit, or die.” Cassius spread his sky-shading wings, looking down upon the trembling humans, elves, and dwarves beneath him, and spoke thus. ……… A story of a red dragon with a built-in player template conquering, ruling, and transforming another world.

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…

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Everything in this story has a purpose, and every detail has an explanation, i.e. nothing is explained with 'it works cause it works'. The more questions you ask when reading this story, the more you will understand later on. If you just turn off your brain to read you won't know why things are happening the way they are. Also, nothing is random. If something feels 'forced' it's meant to be, ask why and I guarantee you will enjoy the novel more. Synopsis: This is the story of a young man who was reincarnated as a dragon with a near-insatiable curiosity. Initially sparked by questioning his own reincarnation, he quickly gets lost in the endless world of magic, using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana. However, soon enough, the table would flip, and he would begin using that very same energy to expand his knowledge of science, to the point that he would begin questioning his own understanding of the world. Although not his original intention, with the combination of his intelligence, expanding curiosity, and the 'miracles' that occurred to allow for his existence, he quickly found himself climbing the mountain of strength as if it were a small hill before eventually climbing to a point where it seemed as if he himself was the peak itself. Even if.. that was never the case... - There is mild gore, and profanity is 'censored' toward the beginning, but not later in the story. - Tags: Action, Discovery, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-fi Sub Tags: Reincarnation, Magic, Non-Human Lead, (Extremely) OP Protagonist, Mystery - New Chapter twice a week, on Monday and Wednesday at 1:30 PM EST!

A young boy awakens in the ashes of a destroyed village, marked by a mysterious glowing rune on his abdomen. He has no memory of how he survived a ritual sacrifice gone wrong, only haunting flashes of hooded figures and searing pain. Forced to flee through fields of ash and ruin, he soon realizes his body is now younger, weaker, and marred by unearthly power.

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~!

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?

"The heavenly dog ​​rises from the earth and falls into the sunset. The sky is as red as blood, and the lucky star retreats into nothingness. In the vastness, a man stumbles forward, paving the way with difficulty, and blood is spilled with every step. Only a stalk of chrysanthemum withers behind him." This is a prophecy that no one can interpret, but some people say that this is my fate. Others say that the ritual officials are involved in yin and yang, are good at tombs, and cover up the secrets of heaven. The nobles of ancient times were all buried in their hands to protect future generations. In the end, they did not die well, and I could not escape it. But I don't accept it...

The once-proud Empire of Regganor - a conquering nation that had once towered over human and non-human realms alike - has fallen into a quickly crumbling Kingdom after the loss of a decisive war. Now, with less than a third of their forces remaining and another war brimming on the horizon, lifelong friends and Knights of a secret order, Alwyn and Orwick, have been selected to accompany and defend two mysterious outsiders on a quest that will determine the fate of their homeland. The only problem is, neither of them know how.

Somewhere, in the vast steppe of flowing high grasses, a long white dragon lays on the soft soil after a rain. What is it doing there? Aren't dragons supposed to be powerful and mighty creatures? You'd think that dragons would be busy flying majestically as if they own the land they fly on, but this special missy here cannot even walk on all fours. The reason why is that she's not used to being a dragon. Once human she was, and now is met with a perplexing fate that was given to her after she reincarnated. She has yet to meet a dragon, let alone act like one, so how would you expect her to be one? Tsung Yue, is her name, and the fact that she used to be a simple person is all she remembers. Laying there, she had no choice but to ponder about her new life, what to do with it, how she even ended up like this. No other person is seen here, not even a trace of human origin remains. So how did she use to be human? Why isn't anyone here? You've probably guessed by now, but whether you're right or wrong will soon be revealed in the future. Patience is a virtue, and that applies to our little miss dragon here too.
