Obsidian Lantern

In a world where the balance of power is dictated by the Veil, an ancient force that grants warriors their abilities, the flames of war never die. Riven Kaelstrade, the last survivor of the Azure Clan, was born with an unusual gift—an Azure Flame that burns brighter than any warrior before him. But when his village is massacred by the tyrannical Lord Obsidian, Riven’s world shatters. With nothing but vengeance driving him forward, he embarks on a brutal journey to uncover the secrets of the Veil, growing stronger with every battle. Along the way, he forges powerful alliances and deadly rivalries, including Kain Valkor, a warrior whose ambition burns even hotter than Riven’s, and Akari Renji, a skilled fighter hiding a terrible secret. But as Riven uncovers the truth, he realizes he is merely a pawn in a much greater game. Ancient forces are moving in the shadows, and the Azure Flame he wields may not belong to him at all. Betrayals, war, and a destiny he never chose—can Riven defy fate and carve his own path, or is he doomed to become the very monster he swore to destroy? Epic Battles | Emotional Rivalries | Tragic Betrayals The war for the Veil begins now.

Beep Beep An unfamiliar mechanical sound wakes him up. The silvery orb appears under his almond-shaped eyes. His irish gleam in warm light streaming into the hospital room through the big window. "Ugh" The boy with a thin body, felt a little dizzy as he regain consciousness. His obsidian hair looks a bit messy after being unconscious for three months hospitality. But the one who'd just come out of the coma only felt it's only a split second after his heart stabbed by icy-cold sword. Wait, I'm still alive? As he began to realise that he was still alive, Yue Lian's hand reached to his left chest. Badump The sound of the heartbeat on his chest made him hard to believe. This is unbelievable! Yue Lian began to recall the moment he died. He still remembers vividly, how the sword pierced his heart. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his grayish-dry lips. Although the man face covered with blood and looks like a living corpse with pale bluish skin, but this cannot hide the remaining beauty on his face. It can be said that his face is soft, but not overly delicate, and at the same time exudes an unknown misty allure that would make even a god envious. As the crimson red sky emitting huge orange flame, Yue Lian looks up. His silver orb eyes tremble slightly looking at familliar face. After a moment of silence, he laughs out loud as if his heart had never been stabbed to begin with. "■■■" "■■■" He knew they had a conversation about something at that time, but he didn't know what was said. But even if he can't recall what was he said, he can still feel the deep of sadness in his chest. As if his heart was broken not by other party's sword, but by some unknown reason. Yue Lian tries to recall his memories, but they remain the same. It is as if a mysterious mist blocked half of his memories. And after his death, his soul was somehow trapped in Yue Mian's body. Yue Lian adjusts his thoughts, as he can roughly guess what happened in the past. In his previous life, Yue Lian was once a supreme God who managed the worlds with two other supreme gods. He is the God of Death, who controls the death of mortals, demons, cultivators, or even gods. Because of this power, he's made another god fear and envy him. After remembering his background in his previous life, he was sure that the one who killed him was one of the other two supreme god or even both. He still not sure if the two of supreme god join forces to killed him "Uhm, may I know who are you?" The middle-aged man trembled at his son's polite gesture, as if he was unfamiliar with them. "Don't joke around! I don't know what game you're playing, but I'm different from your father. I won't fall for your tricks, kid." "Father, please don't said that! Mian-mian already in coma for 3 months! How can it be fake?!" "You fool! This is not the first time this brat done this kind of ridiculous ploy" After the conversation between father and son, which was more of a debate, Yue Lian was sure that the original owner was a troublemaker who often played tricks on his family. But still, it's impossible for human personality to be that superficial, isn't it? Like a fire that cannot burn without smoke. Yue Lian still needs to investigate the reason why his soul didn't go to the reincarnation circle, but was sucked into Mian-mian's body instead.

The light of dawn lingers just beyond reach, the fading glow of the setting sun long replaced by darkness. In the mist-shrouded city, hidden within the shadows of ancient churches, veins clinging to cracked walls, the gnawing sounds from the sewers, and the whispering figures that lurk in the dark… A lantern-bearer walks alone through it all.

In the penumbra of a fallen empire, **Lucien Valefor** walks alone, his shadow stretching across broken lands that once knelt before his bloodline. The last scion of the Valefor dynasty moves through the twilight realm between vengeance and despair, each footfall a testament to promises whispered in the dark. "Memory is the cruelest blade," he murmurs to the night, his voice carrying the weight of a thousand silenced screams. "It cuts deeper than steel, leaving wounds that time refuses to heal." The betrayal that stripped him of his birthright lives within him now—not as a wound, but as a companion, intimate and ever-present. His **Nyx Ascendance** pulses beneath his skin, darkness coalescing around his fingers like liquid obsidian. This power, born of sacrifice and suffering, is not merely wielded—it is experienced, a symphony of shadow that resonates with the hollow chambers of his heart. "They believed death would silence me," Lucien contemplates, watching the darkness dance between his palms. "But in death, I found a truth they fear to face—that endings are merely thresholds to more terrible beginnings." The moon bearing witness to his soliloquy casts silver light upon the scars that map his journey—each mark a verse in the epic of his fall and inevitable rise. His enemies sleep behind walls of stone and privilege, dreaming peaceful dreams of empires built upon his family's ashes. "The architecture of revenge requires patience," he tells the stillness around him. "Each moment of their false security is a stone in the monument of their eventual ruin." He is not the prince they remember—that man perished in the bloody theater of their betrayal. What returns to them now is something hollowed and hallowed by suffering, a vessel filled with purpose so pure it transcends morality. "I do not seek justice," Lucien acknowledges, his eyes reflecting landscapes of yet-unfought battles. "Justice implies balance, and some scales can never be balanced—only shattered and reforged." In the distance, the spires of his ancestral home pierce the horizon like accusing fingers. The throne that awaits him is no longer merely a seat of power but an altar upon which he will sacrifice those who believed him conquered. "They will learn," he whispers to the approaching dawn, "that nightmares do not fade with waking. Some terrors follow you into the light."

When CERN's collider collapsed into an 11D obsidian sanctum, I became the city's last glitching data stream. Vampires etch reverse-thermodynamic laws into neon with entropy algorithms, werewolf howls rip gauge field fissures—and my DNA helix encodes Yang-Mills steady-state solutions, each activation carving three years from my quantum-chronometer heart. 72 hours to either blood-recompile the cosmic code or watch humanity forged into Observer Civilization's dimensional anchors.

In a distant future, Earth is long gone, and humanity’s last survivors have found refuge on the desolate planet of Selora. Genetically engineered and raised to serve, Kael Duskborne arrives in a world where memories are erased, free will is a distant memory, and every movement is dictated by an unyielding, unknown force. His mission: to harvest obsidian from the planet's cursed mines. But Selora is no ordinary world. The land itself seems to pulse with a strange, sinister energy, and its creatures—ancient, primal, and deadly—lurk in the shadows. As he journeys through this harsh world, Kael begins to question everything he’s been told. Why is he here? What is the truth behind the planet’s dark past? Silent whispers haunt the air, and warnings of an ancient, omnipotent force—the Silence—demand his attention. With his very life at stake, Kael must choose whether to accept the unspoken order of his existence or fight against the oppressive force that seeks to control him—and the planet itself. In a world where nothing is as it seems, survival means navigating a web of lies, dark powers, and dangerous allies.

In a world teeming with mythical races—dragons, vampires, elves, and more—Pyris Obsidian finds himself reborn as the Champion of Lilith, the Goddess of Lust. Armed with her divine blessings and an ancient Obsidian bloodline, Pyris is thrust into a deadly world where power is the only currency, and ambition can turn men into gods—or their prey. The empires of Argos teeter on the brink of chaos, with Immortals lurking in the shadows, and gods watching from above, waiting for mortals to fall. As Pyris rises, so does his influence over the magical world, manipulating power, desire, and even reality itself. But the gods and their champions won’t stand idle while a new force of lust and dominance rises. With forbidden magic, unparalleled charm, and an insatiable hunger for conquest, Pyris must navigate treacherous alliances, deceitful enemies, and seductive allies, all while keeping the truth of his destiny hidden. For in this world, desire is power, and Pyris will stop at nothing to claim what is his—even if it means defying the gods themselves. Will Pyris bend the world to his will, or will the forces of the divine bring him to his knees? Only time will tell, as he embarks on a journey of lust, magic, and unrivaled ambition.

“Did you perhaps think I would accept you, the runt of the pack as well as someone destined to bring us doom just because you are my mate?

In the mist laden depths of the The Veil of Whispers, a forgotten prophecy stirs.

And time is running out.

Sebagai seorang putri yang tidak dapat menguasai sihir, satu-satunya nilai Putri Daphne bagi kerajaan adalah pernikahan yang telah diatur. Tugasnya sederhana, namun ketika Daphne diculik dan dibawa ke pegunungan dingin Vramid, ia menyadari bahwa ia sudah over her head. Ia pernah mendengar tentang pegunungan terkutuk ini sebelumnya ― medan berbatu, suhu beku, dan tanah ini diperintah oleh seorang pria yang banyak ditakuti orang di benua tersebut. Raja Atticus Heinvres, penguasa haus darah di Utara. Walaupun ia belum pernah bertemu dengannya sebelumnya, cerita tentang kekejaman Raja Atticus tersebar luas. Ada yang mengatakan dia adalah monster, yang lain menyatakan dia adalah iblis itu sendiri, tetapi apapun ceritanya, semua orang tahu tentang pria yang memiliki kekuatan di luar imajinasi siapapun. Dia bisa menggulingkan pasukan dan menghancurkan negara hanya dengan melambai tangannya sekali, didukung oleh apa yang dikabarkan sebagai cincin obsidian terkutuk. Tidak ada seorang pun di luar Vramid yang pernah bertemu raja yang ditakuti itu sebelumnya. Tidak sampai Daphne. Namun, ketika bertemu dengan pria hebat itu, Daphne mengetahui bahwa raja mungkin tidak benar-benar menjadi monster seperti yang diklaim orang lain. Bahkan, apa yang tersembunyi di bawah perisai obsidian itu mungkin saja berlian yang belum dipoles. ― [Petikan] “Sekarang... di mana sebaiknya aku letakkan kalian berdua?” dia bertanya dengan santai, tanpa mengharapkan jawaban. “Sayang sekali aku hanya memiliki satu chandelier.” “Di bawah tempat tidurku? Tidak, tidak, terlalu kotor. Boneka debu kesayanganku tidak pantas mendapat ini,” gumam Atikus pada dirinya sendiri. “Di atas perapian? Bagaimana dengan meja rias? Mungkin jika aku memotong salah satu kepala kalian, aku bisa pasang di atas... Istri, kepala mana yang ingin kamu lihat saat kamu menyisir rambutmu?” “Atikus!” Daphne berteriak. “Aku tidak ingin ada kepala! Lepaskan mereka.” “Baiklah.” Atikus mengangkat bahu, dan menggerakkan jarinya. Ada dua suara retakan yang identik saat kedua leher patah secara bersamaan. Daphne menarik napas, terkejut. Pria ini, suaminya, baru saja membunuh dua orang dengan sekali flick jari, seolah dia sedang memadamkan lilin. “Aku bilang lepaskan mereka!” Daphne berteriak lagi. “Iya, aku telah melepaskan mereka,” kata Atikus. Kemudian, matanya menggelap. “Untuk menerima penghakiman ilahi dari langit.” ― Server Discord: https://discord.gg/7HAMK2bRYU

Title: The General’s Forbidden Obsession Overview: In the heart of a war-torn Japan, where power is held by ruthless generals and noble bloodlines teeter on the edge of ruin, one sheltered aristocratic son makes a single, devastating mistake—he steps beyond the walls of his family’s protection. Naïve, docile, and unaware of the world’s dangers, he longs for a taste of freedom, a single night beneath the city’s lantern-lit sky. But beauty like his is a curse, drawing hungry eyes and grasping hands. When a brothel lures him in with promises of wonder, he stumbles into the clutches of men who see him as nothing more than a delicate prize to be claimed. Watching from the shadows is the nation’s most feared general—cold, ruthless, and entirely captivated. At first, he only observes, drawn in by the boy’s ethereal beauty and oblivious innocence. But when another man dares to touch what he has silently claimed, his restraint shatters. With a single command, the general takes him. Not out of mercy, but out of possessive desire. He tells himself it’s only for a night, that he’ll let the boy go. But obsession, once ignited, is a fire that does not burn out. As the aristocratic son’s family desperately searches for him, the general refuses to release his new obsession. And the boy, so naive to the world’s cruelty, doesn’t yet understand—he has just been caged by the most dangerous man in the empire. Will love bloom from possession, or will he remain nothing more than a treasured captive?

Gold Tier Winner of WPC #139 *** Two souls were prophesied to meet and fall in love. They were made for each other, chosen by the moon goddess to complete each other. But what would happen when something threatens to break them apart? Do you think a love predestined by a deity will prevail? *** Lara looked up and she froze when her eyes came in contact with the bluest eyes she had ever seen. "You are...?" He asked. Lara caught her breath and froze up. She can't answer him! She already knew the CEO was ridiculously handsome. But she didn't think he was this handsome! He already asked her a question but all she could think of was... Noah James Smith looked intimidatingly beautiful in his company photo but in person, he's more than that. His photo didn't do him any justice! He was devilishly handsome, and very intense too. His electric blue eyes looked like they could see into her soul if he wanted to. And she was melting like ice-cream in front of him. Noah looked at the woman who just entered his office and his eye zeroed in on her. She looks like a dear in headlights. Her lips were gaping and she looked stunned after seeing his face. Did she hear what I said? He thought inwardly as he stood up and walked around his desk. "Who are you?" he asked again, and that got Lara out of her trance. "Oh! Uhm. I-uhh. I-I'm nobody..." She replied after struggling for words. Then she remembered what she came there to do and approached his desk. "Actually, I came here to deliver this…" Noah casually sat on his desk and crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes watching her as she squirmed under his gaze, holding the envelop close to her chest as she awkwardly approached him and his desk. "I'm... I'm going to put this here for you, sir..." she said and placed the brown envelope just beside where he sat and then backed away like she'd been burned by his presence. She couldn't even look him in the eye. Noah glanced at the envelope then backed at Lara who was now awkwardly playing with her fingers. "I'll be going now, sir. I'm sorry for disturbing you-" "You haven't answered my question yet." he stopped her and she froze again. "P-pardon?" "What's your name?" "I-uhh..." Lara started to panic. Is he going to fire me? Noah looked at her ID. "Looking at your ID from this distance, it seems that you're one of my employees." "Ah yes, I'm-" She bit her lip and deflated like a balloon. Will I get reprimanded if he discovers I'm just a newbie? "Why did you stop? Is it really hard for you to tell me your name?" Lara immediately shook her head. "N-no. No, sir. I just- uhh. I find you intimidating…" she unconsciously said and gasped. What did I just say? Noah didn't respond but the corner of his lips turned up for a second there before it vanished as soon as it appeared. "I see..." [Time Skip] Noah looked outside, staring aimlessly at the bright city lights outside his window while twirling his drink in his hands. His mind was deep in thought. And it was mostly about the fact that he had found his mate. He's been waiting for her to appear in his life ever since he reached adulthood. And now that she's here, he couldn't stop his urge to possess her. Claim her as his. When their eyes met for the first time, he immediately felt the pull between them. He wanted her the instant he laid his eyes on her and she was a new employee in his company. "Lara Louis…" Noah murmured her name and he couldn't help but think about her eyes. Her expressive auburn eyes that was hidden underneath her glasses. *** Discord: https://discord.gg/VmAWdAr Disclaimer on the cover photo! It is not mine, guys.

In the once-glorious kingdom of Aeloria, the Celestial Crown was a symbol of unity and peace, its power drawn from the five elemental forces of Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Spirit. But when the Obsidian King, a malevolent sorcerer, sought to claim the crown for himself, the kingdom was plunged into chaos. In a desperate act to save her people, Queen Seraphine shattered the crown into five fragments and used her life force to imprison the Obsidian King in the Void. The fragments were scattered across the realms, lost to time and legend. Centuries later, the seal on the Void begins to weaken, and the Obsidian King's dark influence seeps back into the world. Villages are plagued by shadowy creatures, and whispers of his return spread like wildfire. The fate of Aeloria now rests in the hands of an unlikely group of heroes: - **Kael**, a humble blacksmith's apprentice, discovers the Fragment of Fire hidden in his forge. Touching it awakens a latent power within him and sets him on a path he never imagined. - **Lyra**, a cunning rogue with a mysterious past, is drawn to Kael's quest after witnessing his fiery abilities. She seeks redemption for a life of thievery and betrayal. - **Thorne**, a disgraced knight haunted by his failures, joins the group to reclaim his honor and protect the innocent from the growing darkness. Together, they must find the remaining fragments of the crown before the Obsidian King's followers can reassemble it. Their journey will take them through treacherous lands—from the scorching deserts of the Ember Wastes to the frozen peaks of the Frostspire Mountains, and into the heart of the cursed Shadowfen. Along the way, they will face ancient guardians, unravel forgotten secrets, and confront their own inner demons. But the Obsidian King is not their only enemy. A powerful cult, the Order of the Void, seeks to free their master and usher in an age of eternal darkness. As Kael and his companions grow closer to their goal, they realize that the fragments of the crown are not merely tools of power—they are tests of character. Each fragment demands a sacrifice, and the choices they make will determine not only the fate of Aeloria but the kind of heroes they will become. *The Shattered Crown* is a tale of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring light of hope in the face of overwhelming darkness. Will Kael and his companions succeed in reuniting the crown and saving their world, or will the Obsidian King rise again to claim his vengeance?

King Niklaus Mikaelson, a name that resonated with both fear and reverence across the Mythralian Peninsula, was a figure shrouded in a dark, commanding aura.

The Kingdom of Emberlyn, his seat of power, had become a formidable force under his iron-fisted rule, expanding relentlessly as he sought to unite the entire peninsula beneath his banner.

In a city called Dunmore, where a weakened dome stands between its people and bloodthirsty demons, Aric, a young, defiant fighter who believes in equality, is part of its Vanguard: fearless soldiers that keep the demons at bay. When the crystal holding their dome—a remnant of the goddess Ilona—suddenly fails and throws the city into chaos, he’s among the brave ones sent beyond the walls to chase a shard of the Aetherion, a sentient energy that could save or destroy them, pulling him into a treacherous wasteland where survival is always beyond reach. The flawed gods resurface, their inevitable end drawing near, scheming and weaving promises to manipulate oblivious mortals into their power plays.
