Shadowland Arthas

In a dark and chaotic world where force dictates destiny, Trogg, a human reincarnated in the body of a petty goblin, awakens in the Shadowlands of Nulkar. Weak and despised by his very existence, he soon discovers that he has been chosen by a mysterious system with the promise of guiding him to become the most powerful being in the universe. Gifted with a voracious ambition and a calculating mind, Trogg is determined to overcome all odds, manipulate the strong and subjugate the weak. On a planet filled with borrowed races, mystical cultivation techniques and powerful bloodlines, he will use any means necessary to climb the path of power. However, as Trogg seeks his place at the top, he realizes that the world is not just a battlefield, but a complex game of intrigue, secrets and gods watching from afar. Will he be able to dominate the world of Sereno and shape it to his will, or will he lose himself in the shadows of his own ambition? In this journey of blood, sacrifice and determination, Trogg will show the world that even the most despicable creature can reign supreme.

Gwendolyn Breckenridge, a precious daughter of noble family from Brovodian Kingdom, wakes up to a terrifying dream come true. Injured and trapped in a carriage, she's carted away to a strange land. The awful truth hits her: she's being sold as a slave. Betrayed by both her lover and trusted handmaiden, with her parents missing in the midst of the chaos engulfing her family, she is plunged into despair. Stripped of her wealth and status, she is left to deal with a harsh reality where her once-gilded life is now in tatters. After a series of torments, she landed in a shadowland called Sotreapis Kingdom – a place she's never even heard of. One terrifying fact becomes clear: in the shadow Kingdom of Sotreapis, a cruel king named Malgarius captures beautiful women only to kill them. But he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Gwendolyn's spirit and resilience despite their different realm. Despite the danger, a forbidden attraction blossoms between them. Now, she is trapped in this deadly game, surrounded by danger and unsure of who to trust – a ruthless king captivated by her, a court teeming with suspicion, and the ever-present threat of those who wish to silence her. Can she use this unexpected turn of events to not only clear her name and find her family, but perhaps even rewrite the deadly fate awaiting her in Sotreapis? Can Gwendolyn overcome the betrayal that shattered her life? And most importantly, can she survive the clutches of a murderous king in a foreign land or fell deeper into his honey trap? *** [Disclaimer: This book is a mature content as it has some intimate and passionate scenes that explore the romantic relationships between characters.

Lei Cheng is only twenty-five years old but has already tasted the sorrows and bitterness of the world. He comes from a wealthy family and should have had a flowery childhood, but he fell victim to the interests of his family. At the age of six, he was expelled from his family, and on his way to meet his enemies, Lei Cheng's parents were both killed trying to protect him. In his memory, Lei Cheng did not know what he had done wrong to have such a miserable encounter. Afterwards, Lei Cheng was taken in by the kind-hearted orphanage director, and on the day he became an adult at the age of eighteen, he was brought by a mysterious old man to an organization called Shadowland, unaware that from that day on his fate had changed.

Suze connects the living and dead. She sees the dead. They'll keep her until she finishes what they started with the living. Jesse, her bedroom's hot ghost, doesn't seem to need her help. Which is good because Suze has moved to sunny California and wants to start over, going to the mall instead of the cemetery and surfing instead of ghosts. Suze realizes it won't be easy on her first day of school. Suze is in the way of a ghost's vengeance.

When The Great War swept across the continent, it brought with it destruction on a level the world could never have imagined. The Great War has left the land broken and corrupt. Monsters that once were only found in cursed locations now roam free across the continent. Undead armies, Demons, Dragons, and monsters of every kind roam free. However, with great danger comes great opportunity. The Shadowlands which span throughout the continent are filled with ancient treasure, valuable artifacts, and materials from monsters that can seek for high prices. With this, an era of adventure and exploration begins. Follow the story of a young man who is on the run from the law for mysterious reasons as he teams up with an equally mysterious happy go lucky girl to head into the shadowlands, looking to changer their destiny.

In a world of magic, monsters, and overpowered protagonists. Our hero was the 'side-kick', the 'friend', the 'other guy'. Betrayed by the Hero he'd sworn to help and wound up banished from death as a result. This is the story of how an un-killable side-kick rose to the apex and finally became the Hero.

Ghosts destroy. Especially romance. Suze is thriving. Partying and good hair days are her new life in California. Suze's first date was with town's hottest boy, Tad Beaumont. Suze is so excited that she ignores her misgivings about Tad, especially that he's not Jesse, whose ghostly status and apparent disinterest in her make him unattainable. Suze can't ignore the ghost of a murdered woman whose death seems linked to Tad Beaumont's dark secrets.

First, this isn’t a story about how to seek survival during Doomsday! It’s rather about how to bring about the end of times, to bring down the curtain on the world. It’s about how to set off a Zombie frenzy, how to lead the Devil into invasion, and how to guide the descent of Zerg! In this game of doom, I’m the source of everything! Second, I need to thank those brethren who accompanied me until now. My thanks go to the Lich Monarch, Arthas Menethil (game: World of Warcraft), bringer of endless winter and death; to Alex Mercer (game: Prototype), who created life by consuming viruses; to the Worst Spirit Tokisaki Kurumi (Light Novel: Date a Live), controller of time; to the Magus Ascendant Xerath (Game: League of Legends), imprisoned by runes.

I was not awakened till the age of 21. Seniors pitied me, and juniors looked down on me. But one day— [The ‘Play Life’ app has been installed.] [Start Playing.] —I was able to enter into the creations.

Current Earth but with Magic Our MC pushes himself to go through life with Everything he has Since Fate wants to play he will play Till one of them backs down Let there be Chaos and maybe order.

A Tale of Regret and Redemption. Arthas, a prince, lived all his life in debauchery, drowning in liquor and women. But it all came crashing down one day when his kingdom was attacked, unable to defend itself. His change of heart came too late, and he died. But his fate gave him another chance at life. Anointed as a Herald by Elf Goddess Aeriel herself, he was sent to another world to help the Elves - an ilk forsaken by the world for being the harbinger of misfortune. This is Arthas journey to become a Monarch and lead the forsaken elves into a new age. This is his story of creating his own empire and protecting those dear to him, for he couldn’t do that last time. Note: It is a light-hearted smut story with Kingdom Building as it's main theme, and contains action and adventure sometimes. It will involve elves and foul language, with frequent instances of sex involving two (and sometimes three persons 'threesomes'). I wanted to write foursomes and lesbian scenes too, but I have realized I am not skilled enough yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tags: Male MC, Smut, Romance, Harem, R18, Sword & Magic, Fantasy, Action, Slice of Life, Kingdom Building, Elves Content Warning: It contains instance of Rape, Gore, Violence Note: The Cover does not belong to me—credit to the respective artist.

SINOPSIS Harapan , semua orang butuh harapan dalam hidupnya. Untuk bangkit dari rasa putus asa. Me-restart ulang setiap kegagalan dalam hidupnya. Escada Hope, memulai hari-hari dengan penuh sukacita. Ia berjalan dengan pasti. Mengerjakan apa yang ia percayai. Ia adalah seorang penulis baru. Gajinya tak banyak. Tapi ia menyukai pekerjaan pilihanya itu. Bagi wanita ini, gagal itu biasa, berusaha adalah suatu keharusan. Itulah doa yang tersirat dari namanya, Hope yang berarti harapan. Suatu hari, kepercayaan diri Hope akan harapan harus diuji. Bukan hanya satu dua kali. Pertama, ia harus kehilangan pekerjaan impiannya. Tak ada perusahaan lain yang mau memberinya tempat. Mereka mempertanyakan, bagaimana kredibilitas Hope sebagai penulis, mengingat ia harus diberhentikan dalam waktu kurang dari dua bulan. Tak hanya sampai di situ. Hope harus beberapa kali menemui kesialan dalam hidupnya. Ia dikejar dan tertangkap. Ia harus bisa memutar otak untuk mendapatkan uang demi bertahan hidup. Usaha Escada Hope untuk percaya pada eksistensi Tuhan rupanya tak sia-sia. Ia mendapatkan sebuah proyek membuat buku. Sebuah novel yang mengisahkan dua orang insan yang saling mencintai. Namun dipisahkan oleh takdir. Yaitu maut. Novel itu harus selesai dalam waktu tiga bulan. Dimana, kisah romatis bak Romeo dan Juliet tersebut akan diabadikan sebagai souvenir peringatan kematian sang tokoh utama, Vine Artha yang ke sepuluh. Saat semua mulai membaik, Hope mendapati kenyataan pahit. Bos besar yang memintanya membuat proyek tersebut ternyata adalah Defiance Tiger. Seseorang yang telah menghancurkan hidup Hope hanya dalam satu kali tatap mata. Rasa benci juga dendam yang mendarah daging memaksa Hope melampiaskan semua kekesalanya pada Defiance. Ia memutuskan mundur dari proyek penulisan. Tak ingin semua rencananya kacau, Tiger berusaha keras memohon kepada Hope. Ia menceritakan, tragedi besar yang menimpa Artha. Tepat sehari sebelum mereka mengikat janji. Bagaimana awal, dan bagaimana ia menghabiskan sisa hidupnya selama sepuluh tahun dalam penyesalan. Ia tak ingin tragedi yang menimpa Artha terulang. Dan satu-satunya alasan, mengapa Hope harus diberhentikan pada saat itu adalah, kemiripan antara Hope dengan Artha.

Sylvanas Windrunner has returned from the shadowlands and now lives in exile as part of her atonement. These are her adventures as she navigates a world where she's hated by many, but some she could mend bridges with. This is a "What If" fic set after Shadowlands and is a little different from my story on Ao3 but has the same title. I would like to add I own nothing from Warcraft save for my OCs. This is a Fanfic, I'm unsure how to change that in Types in the info.

The different moments of life as a drug addict man who faces so many lows, separated from himself. Even though they are part of this society, people don't like them or they just look at them with bad eyes, and they are treated badly, hated, hit, rejected etc.. But one day, everything changed. He meets a man named Arthur who will lead him to the fantasy world of Artha.

De.ser.si /dèsèrsi/ Pembelotan kepada musuh; perbuatan lari dan memihak pada musuh (Sumber: KBBI V) Jatuh cinta, sebuah perasaan di mana kau merasakan perasaan yang aneh, menggelitik, dan menyenangkan. Jatuh cinta tak pernah bisa direncanakan, dan datangnya pun tak pernah dapat diduga. Lalu, apakah jatuh cinta itu salah? Jika tidak, lalu mengapa Artha tidak diperbolehkan untuk menjalin kasih dengan Josh? Josh adalah pangeran dari Kerajaan Terra. Semua orang tahu Kerajaan Terra dan Kerajaan Ales adalah musuh. Dahulu, kedua kerajaan itu sangat dekat. Namun karena suatu hal, mereka perang dingin hingga sepuluh tahun berikutnya. Josh dan Artha sudah bersahabat sejak lama, dan tanpa diduga keduanya perasaan 'itu' tumbuh di antaranya. Ya, mereka jatuh cinta. Hal ini diketahui oleh salah satu penjaga Kerajaan Terra. Tentunya, ini menggemparkan kedua kerajaan itu. Josh tertangkap dan membuatnya dihukum karena dianggap sebagai pengkhianat, dan Artha melarikan diri. Artha tidak memiliki tujuan, namun kakinya membawanya pergi ke hutan Bidden—hutan yang terlihat indah di siang hari namun begitu menyeramkan saat kegelapan malam menelannya. Tadinya ia hanya berharap bisa bertahan hidup di hutan itu untuk sementara waktu, namun siapa sangka dirinya malah bertemu sesuatu yang tidak diduganya sama sekali? skyamericano, 2020 Photo in cover by Melanie Nadelko

Selalu dekat dengan Artha, itu adalah tujuan utama Naina masuk ke sekolah ini. Jadi jangan salahkan Naina kalau dia terus menempel pada Artha dan itu malah membuat Artha menjadi jauh. Namun di pertengahan kisah, Artha mulai curiga dengan anak baru bernama Naina ini. "Kamu itu terlalu lemah buat jadi anak Tuan Bara," celetuk gadis muda ini. Artha menyudutkan tubuh gadis ini ke tembok. Bibirnya menyunggingkan senyum miring penuh arti. "Kita buktikan aja, yang kamu omongin itu benar atau enggak." Alih-alih merasa takut, gadis ini malah balas menyunggingkan senyum miring. Dan tanpa diduga meluncurkan serangan, ia memutar tangan Artha dan dengan mudahnya membalikkan keadaan, menyudutkan pria tampan ini di tembok bangunan. Tangannya menodong pelipis Artha, seolah-olah itu pistol yang bisa membunuh pria ini dalam hitungan detik. "Dor!" ujar gadis ini, ibu jarinya bergerak seperti menarik pelatuk pistol. "Kamu mati." . . . "Lo itu siapa sebetulnya?" Artha menunduk mensejajarkan wajahnya dengan Naina. "Aku Naina, kamu udah tahu itu." . . . "Plak! Plak! Plak!" Pria tua ini berulangkali memukul puncak kepala gadis belia yang kini sedang berlutut, dengan keras. Kemudian pria ini ikut berlutut, mensejajarkan tubuh mereka. Tangannya yang sudah keriput mengangkat dagu gadis ini, menatap wajah yang kini sudah dipenuhi lebam. "Kalau hubungan kalian berlanjut lebih jauh lagi, saya anggap ini pengkhianatan. Dan hukuman mati adalah bayarannya." . . . "Aku cuma melanjutkan cita-cita bapak." Pria ini mengusap lembut wajah gadis belia yang penuh bercak darah. "Cuma bedanya, bapak menyingkirkan siapa aja yang menghalangi jalannya. Tapi aku gak akan nyingkirin kamu, justru aku mau kita hidup satu atap selamanya." "Kamu gila," gadis ini berucap dengan suara serak dan gemetar. Pria ini menggeleng sambil menempelkan jari telunjuknya dibibir gadis belia ini. "Suuut! Kamu terlalu kasar."
