Stephen King Tales From The Darkside

Lenora, an orphaned omega, has always known her place: at the bottom of the pack, toiling away in the kitchen while enduring constant insults. Headstrong and unyielding, she often speaks up for what is right—earning her the ire of her packmates, especially the ruthless Lycan King, Jax, and his confidante, Claire. On her twenty-first birthday, Lenora’s life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers that Jax is her fated mate. But instead of joy, the revelation brings humiliation. Jax, embarrassed by their bond, demands secrecy and rejects her outright. When a cruel setup orchestrated by Claire forces Jax to banish Lenora and her closest friend, Noah, tragedy strikes, leaving Lenora shattered and determined to abandon her werewolf roots. Haunted by his actions, Jax tries to bring Lenora back, but she is no longer the omega he once disregarded. Found and manipulated by Jax's estranged brother, Luke—a vengeful outcast—Lenora must navigate a web of lies, uncovering truths about her mate and the dark secrets that threaten to tear the pack apart. As power struggles ignite and betrayal cuts deep, Lenora must rise above the chaos to protect what remains of her heart and her pack. But when love and revenge collide, will Lenora and Jax find their way back to each other, or will their bond be forever broken?

In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.

Oh, where do I even begin with this epic tale of the world of the four realms? Let me paint you a picture of a world beyond your wildest imagination, a world created by not just one, but Six almighty Gods, over a billion years ago! The Six Almighty Gods created Arcana, the realm of the Gods. Olympia, the realm of the Celestials, who were children of the Gods. Lyra, an empty realm. And the Abyss, the realm of the dead. Now, let's talk about Lyra, the third realm. Picture this, a vast and empty realm, devoid of any life. But then, the Six Gods didn't just leave it empty, they created not one, not two, but eight different races of lower beings to inhabit it! Can you even fathom the sheer scale of creativity and imagination it must have taken to create such diverse and fascinating creatures? We have Monsters, Demons, Elves, Giants, Humans, Dwarves, Fairies, and Beasts, all living together in Lyra. Our story focuses on Jordan, the lazy genius second prince of the mighty Wolf clan. After leaving the Underground Tower - his home for 21 years, he arrives at the Wolf clan city to take over as leader, but instead, he unites all the fifteen monster clans under him. And with that he created the most powerful empire on the continent, The Northern Empire. When other races discovered the new nation of monsters, one human kingdom decided to wage war against them, thinking they were a new and weak kingdom. This war sets off a chain reaction that triggers the Great Change - a series of events that transform the world in ways both destructive and evolutionary. But the new Empire was in no way weak. Jordan and his empire went to war on the human kingdom and three of the six demon lords. Jordan used this war to solidify the standing of his Empire in the continent and gain authority among the Kings and Queens of the Mavis continent. But all this was just a means to an end for Jordan's ultimate goal. When he left the Underground Tower, he discovered that The Veil used to trap the Demon race was about to break. And with that, the release of the Demon Legion, the largest and most powerful army on the continent. Now Jordan must rally not just the monsters, but all other five races: Elves, Giants, Humans, Dwarves and Fairies, together and face against the powerful demon army. War, death, and destruction ensue, and amidst the chaos, Jordan finds himself at the center of it all.
