Astarion Bard

In a multiverse teetering on the brink of collapse, Kael Ardyn, a young wanderer, stumbles upon a shard of unimaginable power—a fragment of the Prime Echo, the heart of the Nexus that once bound countless realms in harmony. The shard grants him access to the chaotic energies of Resonance, but its power comes with a heavy price: every use brings him closer to unraveling what little balance remains. Pursued by factions with conflicting goals—the zealous Spiral Choir, the enigmatic Reverie Collective, and the ruthless Silent Path—Kael is thrust into a high-stakes conflict. Each faction seeks control of the shards, claiming they alone can restore the Nexus or reshape it to their will. As Kael struggles to master the shard’s volatile power, he encounters Aeris Saelin, a wandering bard with a sharp tongue and a veiled past, whose knowledge of Resonance may hold the key to his survival. Together, they navigate treacherous realms, uncover ancient Stabilizers that once sustained the Nexus, and face the shadowy remnants of the Prime Echo itself—fragments that speak cryptic truths about the Nexus’s fate. But Kael soon realizes the greatest threat may not lie in the factions hunting him or the monstrous Resonance beasts stalking the realms. Instead, it may be within himself: the shard’s voice grows louder with every battle, its will increasingly at odds with his own. As the Nexus deteriorates further, Kael is forced to confront impossible choices. Will he sacrifice everything to restore balance, even if it means destroying himself—or will he succumb to the shard’s power and risk plunging the multiverse into irreversible chaos? The Nexus Requiem blends high-concept fantasy, multiversal intrigue, and layered character drama into an epic tale of survival, betrayal, and self-discovery. With every decision, Kael’s journey reveals not only the truth behind

In this slice of life ahistorical medieval story, there are three main settings and pairs that you will follow. First is a prince and the bard, who live in Northern Wales on the kingdom of Gwynedd. The prince struggles on the case of thinking that he is no one of importance. A shadow of his brother. Someone to pay lip service to. Even his father had not cared for him. The only sense of him giving attention is to give him a warden, a bard who has been in his court for a while. Although friendly, this musician of his was keeping secrets, and as the curious child he was, he wants to unravel them all. On Mainland Europe, we follow a landgrave and a burgrave. Two friends that have been together for a while, yet were on different sides. They may have fought, yet their relationship was not broken by it. Even in such severe tribulations, they still are tied together. However, the people outside of this relationship, will they force them once more? Punish them for God knows what? Perhaps, even, finally separate them from each other? Finally, on the once richest part of Rome, you will see a doux and a kephale. There was immense threat, either from outside or inside their own lands, the blade of their enemies becoming sharper. Diplomacy helps, but it doesn't solve the problem. However, what happens if the imperial ruler dies unexpectedly, when all of this was happening? Can they survive through it? Or will they use this opportunity to take the throne for themselves? Only the hands of fate will tell what will happen through this mess.

In the world of Tiamat, mortals are playthings for the gods—summoned to serve, survive, and entertain an unseen audience. Alain, an ordinary man from Earth, gets thrust into this world through an unexpected summoning, quickly stripped of his humanity and transformed into "Pebble," a brawny, low-intelligence character with a unique class called "The Battery." Tasked with walking a mysterious "Forest Path," Pebble quickly learns that his fate is being controlled by divine entities who act as his omniscient spectators, granting rewards, issuing tasks, and meddling with his every move. Pebble, with his new identity and peculiar skill set, teams up with an unlikely party of heroes: Phil, the eager snake-man rogue; Fred, the elderly wizard with unsteady but surprising powers; Bard, the charismatic musician; and Puffy, the foul-mouthed gnome who offers both guidance and exasperation. As Pebble struggles to navigate the rules of his new reality, he faces off against monsters, bandits, and divine "challenges" that range from inconvenient to life-threatening. Along the way, Pebble encounters gods who meddle in his life—sometimes offering aid, sometimes just making things harder. Among them are Glurt, the playful trickster; Artia, the shrewd, vengeful and alluring goddess; Aphrodite, who has her own plans for Pebble; and Reeki, the mysterious Mountain God who seems to have taken a special interest in him. As Pebble's viewership grows, he gains more power—but also more problems, as the gods begin to influence his decisions, pushing him toward a fate even he doesn’t fully understand. Haunted by his past life and the slow erosion of his Earthly hobbies and habits, Pebble tries to make sense of his role in this divine game. Aided by his comrades he must balance the absurdity of his situation with the reality of high-stakes danger. His class, "The Battery," holds mysterious potential that he's only beginning to uncover, and the path ahead is riddled with tasks that could lead him to greatness—or end his journey prematurely. Combining elements of dark humor, epic fantasy, and unpredictable divine interference, The Story of Pebble follows the adventures of a hero who never asked to be one, struggling to forge a path forward in a world where the line between game and reality is blurred—and where the gods are always watching.

"I have a confession: I may be king, but I fell in love with you the moment we met on the hill. Everything about the moment was pure magic." "My king," Oliver whispered. "The way you feel is mutual." Oliver tenderly rested his fingers under Fennel's chin, his eyes gazing into an emerald oasis looking back at him. "I can't hold back any longer." Their foreheads touched. Fennel flushed deep scarlet, wondering if he would be blessed with his first kiss from the sweet lips belonging to the handsome bard. *********** The largest kingdom of the faraway planet of Caelus, Charoux, is inhabited by a humanoid race of felines. The race is more human than cat. While they possess increased agility and better eyesight, their physical manifestations are only those of cat ears and tails, while all other features remain human. As the sun set one warm summer evening, the current feline king drew his last breath.  The weight of the world fell on Fennel Satnuro's chest, the sole son of the king and the rightful heir to the throne. When all hope felt lost, the feline heard an enchanting melody manifest from seemingly mid-air. He followed the music to find a lone, handsome young bard perched atop the highest hill in Charoux, strumming together the most beautiful music that had ever graced the prince's ears. At eighteen years old, the soon-to-be king falls in love at first sight and sound.

UPDATES EVERY FRIDAY! “His stomach lurched, and he quelled down all thoughts of retreating to the nearest and darkest alley. If he went through with this, he reminded himself, then he would have enough coin to buy a meal, perhaps even a warm bed for the night, or, if luck favoured him, enough to live comfortably for a week in the town’s least snobbish tavern.” As a bard, it’s fair to say Holsley is out of practice, not that it matters anyway since his legs turn to jelly whenever he’s forced to face a crowd. He has no money, no home, and no hope. Things are about to get a whole lot worse, however, after he learns that his childhood friend, Roland Darrow, is going to be executed in ten days’ time. Suddenly, it’s a race to find a way to save his roguish friend before he’s swinging by a rope, but unknown to him Roland is keeping some pretty big secrets — one’s worth dying for. Inspired by a love of Dungeons and Dragons and other TTRPG roleplaying games, The Pirate’s Ruby is light-hearted love letter to both adventure and fantasy, filled with references, fun characters, and outlandish scenarios lifted straight out of the game. If you love fantasy, adventure, or DnD, then chances are you might enjoy this too!
