It will also contain a slow-burn GL/Yuri plotline, which I'll eventually get to when I feel like it, I guess. This will be a very long story with many arcs* New chapter every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Want to buy me a sandwich? Send me some money! https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ChaseWard2020

Ragon was born a noble, but died during childbirth due to unseen circumstances.. Young Ragon's lifeless body was placed in a boat and left to drift, the tides carrying his dead form to wherever the whims of the gods might take him. Ragon was given a second chance at life as his adoptive grandfather gave up half of his own life span in exchange. Though he was nurtured by his adoptive parents, Ragon forever remained an outcast in this despicable world. But Ragon's true destiny was about to be revealed. For he was no ordinary mortal - he was a halfblood, a fusion of human and divine essence, the lost heir of a forgotten Olympian. His driving goal was to become the greatest, the very epitome of greatness, and claim his rightful place among the pantheon of legends.

In Ogun's Kingdom, gods once walked among mortals, their presence leaving echoes of power, mystery, and ambition. Now, only the masked bearers of divine blessings bridge the gap between humans and the forgotten pantheon. Thorne Ironhold, a blind boy born into the prestigious Ironhold fief, stands at a precipice. Blessed by an unknown god during the sacred mask rite, he is labeled a "Stray"—an outcast marked by powers beyond mortal comprehension. Yet beneath the shadows of his failure lies an unimaginable secret: Thorne's mask holds the power to defy the natural order. As Thorne ventures from his father's forge to the treacherous Garden of the Gods and the rigorous academy, he seeks not only to carve his own path but to uncover the truth behind his destiny. Every battle tests his limits, every limit surpassed brings him closer to the power once lost to men—and closer to the chaos lurking within. In a world where dances summon divine might and masks conceal more than they reveal, Thorne's journey becomes a quest to challenge the gods themselves. But as he walks the path they once tread, he must ask: Will he rise among the embers of forgotten legends, or be consumed by them?

In the beginning, before time, space, or existence, there was only **The First**, the primordial god who existed in solitude. He was the source of all creation, the infinite being who birthed the universe from His own essence. Though boundless in power and needing no assistance, He chose to create other gods and goddesses to share His responsibilities and bring balance to the vast cosmos. **The First** began by shaping time, then dimensions, and finally the universe itself. He crafted stars, planets, and all celestial bodies, giving each its place in the grand design. Yet, despite His omnipotence, He sought companionship and delegation, not out of necessity, but as an act of will. Thus, He created the **Primordial Pantheon**, gods and goddesses who would oversee the many facets of existence: 1. **Super Solar** - The god of heat and fire, who controlled the sun and all things that burned with energy. 2. **Ray Of Light** - The god of illumination, master of light and all that shone within the cosmos. 3. **Amor Venerem** - The goddess of love, who wove the threads of affection and connection among all beings. 4. **Tenebrae Lunae Est Proserpinae** (Goddess Luna) - The goddess of darkness and the moon, who ruled over night and the mysteries hidden within shadows. These deities, though divine and powerful, were not perfect. They possessed wills, desires, and the capacity for creation themselves. Over time, unions among the gods birthed new beings, expanding the pantheon and spreading influence across the realms of existence. Among these descendants were gods and goddesses who wielded dominion over critical aspects of life and death: - **Deus Caeli**: The goddess of heaven and protector of paradise. - **Ponderibus**: The god of judgment, who balanced good and evil at the gates of the afterlife. - **Mundus Mortis**: The god of the realm of the dead, who managed wandering souls and the passage to judgment. - **Infernum**: The god of hell, ruler of torment and punishment for the wicked. ### **The Rise of Saikō-shin** Unbeknownst to **The First**, His decision to delegate power planted the seeds of change. Among the pantheon, one god or goddess was destined to surpass Him—a being whose ambition and strength would disrupt the divine hierarchy. This deity, known as **Saikō-shin** (the Supreme God), was prophesied to emerge as the next ruler of all creation. Unlike the other gods, Saikō-shin possessed a unique trait: the ability to evolve beyond the limits set by **The First**. This evolution was not driven by rebellion but by the natural progression of existence itself. Saikō-shin’s rise began subtly, as they mastered the realms under their control. They united the pantheon, balancing chaos and order, light and darkness, love and judgment. Their influence grew, and with it, the realization that the cosmos demanded a new ruler—one capable of guiding existence into the next era. **The First**, though all-knowing, did not resist this change. He understood that creation was ever-evolving and that His time as the sole god had reached its conclusion. In an act of divine surrender, He passed His power and title to Saikō-shin, who ascended to the throne as the Supreme God. With the ascension of Saikō-shin, the cosmos entered a new era. While **The First** retreated into the void from which He came, His presence remained as a silent watcher, ensuring balance and continuity. Under Saikō-shin's rule, the universe flourished, guided by a new vision and the lessons of its divine predecessors. Thus, the cycle of creation and succession began, ensuring that divinity itself would never grow stagnant, forever adapting to the needs of existence.

A lone figure stood amid the wreckage of where once reigned a pantheon, his broad back radiating an unfathomable aura of power as his golden irises swept over the debris that once housed some of the most powerful existences in this universe. "oh.. you survived that ?" Loki asked with a hint of surprise as his eyes fell on the bloodied blue-haired God barely clinging to life a few meters away Poseidon couldn't even muster the strength to respond as his eyes stared at Loki in pure terror. His mind couldn't help but think, 'What did my brother do to offend such an existence?!' Suddenly, Poseidon felt a cold chill run down his spine as a gust of wind flew passed him, before he could muster the strength to turn and face what could possibly make him feel more dreadful than the green-haired demon before him, the demon uttered three words that made his blood run cold "Fenrir.. eat him." ========= This story is strictly fictional. It revolves around a down-and-out Loki who rises to the pinnacle of existence. It will have some similarities to what is already known in the myths; however, due to my lack of knowledge on the matter, most of the story is entirely original, with only a few elements added as I learn more through my research along the way. As I said, it's strictly fictional. ========= NOTE: I am not a professional writer and have zero experience. This is honestly just to gain experience as well as a hobby but constructive criticism is always welcomed. I will try to upload 2-4 chapters a week with each chapter having at least 1200 words

Betrayed. Used. Forgotten. Ravok, once a low-ranking demonic god on the interdimensional battlefield, was sacrificed by his own master—a higher god who saw him as nothing more than a cultivation furnace. Stripped of his power, betrayed by those he trusted, and left to die in the chaos of war, Ravok’s story should have ended there. But fate had other plans. Reborn into the cursed body of Kael Voidstrider, a disgraced disciple of the Crimson Veil War Sect, Ravok finds himself weaker than ever, ridiculed and underestimated. Yet within him burns a will sharper than any blade. With his past memories intact and a cunning mind forged by centuries of war, he begins his climb from the bottom, determined to reclaim his power and enact vengeance on those who wronged him. In a world where gods rule with arrogance, where dimensions clash in endless warfare, and where strength is the only currency, Ravok must navigate treacherous alliances, brutal trials, and a curse that binds his potential. Armed with his intelligence, manipulative charm, and the mysterious power of the Void, he sets his sights not only on breaking his curse but on dismantling the very Primordial Pantheon that cursed him. This is the story of a man who refuses to be a pawn, who manipulates both gods and mortals alike, and who will stop at nothing to rise as the Void Sovereign—the ultimate godslayer. A tale of strategy, betrayal, brutal battles, and unrelenting ambition begins. Will you join Ravok on his path to defy destiny and conquer the divine?

God(s). Angels. Demons. Monsters. They can be more real than you’d like… And more humane too… Maybe way too much… ... … In a world with supernatural races secretly living among humans, this is the story of Lúcio Arabrantes, a lad from Minas Gerais, Brazil. If you expected an unlucky, jobless protagonist… NOT HERE, FOLKS! Owner of a jewelry shop in one of the best shopping centers of Belo Horizonte, he certainly is a successful lad! Regarding his luck… WEEEEEELL… To start, our lad has a weird syndrome and a frail body (oh dear, someone could mistake his condition as a curse…), without mentioning the disappearance of his parents after an accident. Yeah, very original and nothing strange… But this isn't everything. The shop is nothing more than a facade for Lúcio's real business: the store Buriti de Ouro, specialized in artifacts, magical scrolls and talismans, seals, magic forge, formations, matrices and other magical miscellaneous; located in the Brazil Street, Latin America Zone, Heavenly Commercial District. Yes, our jeweler works in Heaven. Literally. But what is Lúcio’s cheat power? Is he the descendant of some god, dragon, spirit or devil? No, he is just a normal human with a… Not that normal job… Skills above everyone else? Despite being a magical inscriptionist and artificer, to surpass the gods and other races is complicated… Could it be the learnings of a past life? Well, Lúcio studied a lot, he works hard, but he never had an ancient great Grandmaster of a supreme sect or a primordial creation god to teach him secret techniques. For now… However, for the ruin of his peaceful lifestyle (if that's even possible in such a world) and rejoice of our readers, his “normal” life changes when a random box appears on his doorstep. Inside the box lies the first and last help left by his parents (spoiler: it won't be the last one). An artifact, the Aurum Nucleus, that could supposedly cure his weird body condition. But the artifact has a special bonus: it hosts the spirit of a… Certain woman… … … You already know that a lot of shit is gonna happen, right? Mercenaries and mobsters appearing to screw the party? Yes. Two dudes on a motorcycle trying to rob him? We are in Brazil, what did you expected? Old bully from school trying to make a fuss in the shop? Check. Aztec sect kidnap and try to offer him to a fallen Aztec god? Yep- Uhhh... The girlfriend is also kidnapped, but by a group of giants with colorful hairs and eyes living on a lost island in the Atlantic Ocean? Certainly- Hold up… Trouble with the island’s church from which the first angels (aka Celestials) and demons (Abyssals btw) come from? Of course- Wait, wait… The lost past of forgotten primordial gods, involving secrets about the origin of everything, schemes and plans of ancient entities, prophecies about the Apocalypse, wars between pantheons, clans and even different dimensions, machinations that could change the world order… Uhhhh… I think you folks got the idea… Fortunately, Lúcio has family and friends to support him in these troubles. From the cheese broas teached by his grandmother, the cheats, tricks and quirks of his family, a little help from adventurer friends, the love of his yander- cahem- protective girlfriend, and the strength of… Golden allies… This is an ordinary and chaotic story, unique and common, boring and funny, unexpected and predictable, pleasant and *censored*, and many other adjectives. So expect lots of jokes and memes (good or not, idc, my humor sense is wild), lovely or bland moments, references and mysteries, obvious or not. And as the novel’s name says, this is a story about gods and alchemy, with a certain island in the middle of the chaos… Discord server link: https://discord.gg/EjG4cBjrkJ

"To ascend unto the pantheon, one must claim the visage of a deity who yet lingers upon this earth." As the doom of Avaricia's continent looms with the inexorable tread of a nocturnal specter, a youth of divine lineage, heretofore lamenting a life of sorrow, rises to the challenge of destiny's call. This lad, a demi-god among mortals, amasses an assembly of his ilk, each burdened with a spark of the celestial within their earthly frames. They embark upon a quest most perilous, a final stand against the encroaching shadows that threaten to engulf the four realms of existence. Guided by an audacious scheme, fraught with the very essence of impossibility, they aim to safeguard not only the present, but to ensure a continuance of days to come. Their intent, as daring as it is profane, is to usurp the thrones of those gods who have forsaken their dominion. Yet, such endeavors are not lightly undertaken. For to wrest the scepter from the grip of an immortal sovereignty is a feat that would daunt the stoutest of hearts. "If the Pantheon has turned a blind eye to the realms," the young hero declares with the fiery conviction of one who has glimpsed the abyss, "then perhaps 'tis time for a new order to assume their mantle." Away with the ancients, and hail the new! The nascent deities of Avaricia shall rise, a pantheon reborn in the crucible of fate. The very fabric of the cosmos trembles at their approach. These... 'New Gods of Avaricia'... shall they be heralded as saviors, or condemned as usurpers? Only the inscrutable dance of destiny shall reveal the truth beneath the veil of night.

Under the benevolent rule of the empress of the Drocian Empire, each newborn was bestowed with a divine blessing—a fragment of elemental power gifted by the gods themselves. Yet, this tranquillity was born from the golden ashes of a divine sacrifice long past. Millennia ago, Caelestella, the God of Salvation, relinquished his immortal essence to protect mortals from encroaching darkness.

In a world transformed nearly two decades ago by the intervention of ancient gods, Kwame, a young Ghanaian with a passion for detective novels and a knack for disappearing into the background, is thrust into a deadly series of trials. The gods of various pantheons have bestowed powers upon chosen individuals, known as Rankers, to prepare them for a coming war against creatures from other dimensions. These creatures will emerge through mysterious gates, and only those who ascend through the trials can hope to protect their world. Kwame, chosen by the trickster god Anansi, finds himself in a web of fate far more complex than he ever imagined. His powers aren’t those of brute strength, but of deception, illusion, and fate-weaving. As he navigates the dangerous trials, Kwame must learn to master his abilities, outsmart powerful guardians, and understand the deeper connection he shares with the fabric of reality itself. With each step forward, Kwame uncovers a larger mystery: the gates he and others are being prepared to face are more than just doorways—they are tied to an ancient threat that could wipe out entire worlds. The trials are not only about survival, but about understanding the web of fate that binds all living things. Kwame’s power to manipulate these threads will determine not just his fate, but the fate of his world. However, Kwame is not the only one navigating the trials, and not everyone chosen by the gods seeks to protect their world. As alliances shift and enemies emerge, Kwame must decide whether he can trust those around him, or if his journey will lead him down a darker path, one of betrayal, power, and sacrifice. With 1300 chapters planned, "Weaving Shadows" explores Kwame’s growth from a quiet, unremarkable young man to a powerful figure capable of shaping destiny itself. Along the way, he will face trials of wit, fight powerful beings, and learn the true meaning of power—not just to wield it, but to understand the delicate balance of trickery, fate, and responsibility. As the gates begin to open, Kwame’s choices will determine whether his world stands or falls. And with each new challenge, he must face not only the monsters lurking beyond the gates, but the shadows within himself.

Introduction In a sprawling universe teeming with Devs, Devis, superheroes, and villains, a cosmic tapestry unfolds, woven by the divine hand of Omkar, the god of gods. With boundless creativity, Omkar birthed countless universes, each with its own destiny. In each universe, Omkar’s magnum opus, a trio of celestial beings emerged—the illustrious Trimurti. Lord Brahma, the master of creation, Lord Vishnu, the guardian of preservation, and Lord Shiva, the harbinger of destruction, commanded awe and reverence, earning the collective title of Trimurti from their celestial peers. As the universe flourished under their watchful gaze, Trimurti bestowed unique powers upon an array of Devs and Devis, crafting a pantheon of extraordinary beings. Among them, the valiant Dev Indra was anointed as the leader, guiding the others with divine wisdom and strength. Yet, not all creations were as benign. To maintain cosmic balance, the Trimurti created formidable monsters known as rakshas and asura. However, these creatures, driven by a thirst for power and a desire to conquer the world, waged war against the Devs and Devis. The indomitable Trimurti, alongside their faithful Devs and Devis, rallied against the onslaught, cunningly sealing the ferocious beasts within the depths of Patal Lok, a realm hidden away from mortal eyes. To secure these prisons, intricate keys were forged by the skilled hands of Dev Vishvakarma, locking away the menace for eternity. With the menace contained, the Devs and Devis retreated to Swarglok, a realm of unparalleled serenity. Yet, tranquility alone couldn’t quell their ambitions. A collective decision was reached among the deities to create five elemental rings, infused with the raw power of cosmic energy—a force transcending mortal comprehension. These rings were designed to empower worthy beings to maintain cosmic balance. Dev Vishvakarma lent his divine craftsmanship to shape elemental stones, complementary to the rings, yet bereft of the ability to choose their owners. With their creation complete, the five rings were safeguarded within separate chambers, veiled in secrecy and shrouded in enigma. Their exact locations remained a mystery, whispered only among the Devs and Devis themselves. Eons passed, the echoes of legends fading into the annals of time. Until one fateful day, when a single individual, against all odds, gathered the rings and unleashed the incarcerated terrors from Patal Lok. Chaos erupted, and the universe trembled in the wake of unprecedented devastation. Yet, even in the darkest hour, the Devs and Devis rallied, vanquishing the assailant and vowing to withhold direct intervention in the affairs of the universe. Retreating once more to Swarglok, they concealed the rings within their chambers, their exact fate uncertain. Some believed the chambers fell apart through the passage of time, while others whispered of a sinister hand deliberately shattering the barriers that guarded the rings. Now, as the cosmic sands of destiny shift, the search for these celestial artifacts begins anew. Whispers of their existence flutter amidst the starry expanse, waiting to be discovered by those bold enough to embark on an extraordinary quest, where the fate of the universe hangs in the balance.
