Agatha And The Curse Of Ishtar

I dedicate nothing to you. You may wonder why, or what value there is in giving it to someone else. But what if I told you that this is the most precious thing I possess? Consider it the only reason I am still here, in front of you. This jewel of mine is not just an object; no.. now, I am part of this emptiness. And it is for this reason that I want to give it to you, so that I may remain with you, even when you have nothing left. So, after accepting my nothing, you accept all of me. You could seek something greater, something more tangible, but know that you will never find a more genuine gift. Managed by the PrayingFaces Team, led by writer Mr. Smile.

A world plunged into chaos, where the sun never shines in its full glory, and shadows lurk around every corner. The races of humans, elves, and dwarves, once united, now struggle to survive as magical beasts, dragons, and demons ravage the land. For over three decades, the alliances between these races held strong, but the growing threat of demons and dragons put everything at risk. Ten emperors, united by a common goal, managed to confront the demonic threat… until their thirst for power sparked a new war. The Sun Emperor, the wisest and most powerful of them all, was the one who kept the peace for a long time. But his increasing power sparked envy in the others, who, driven by a lust for dominance, made a pact with the demons and unleashed an even more devastating conflict. Desperate to prevent a greater catastrophe, the Sun Emperor was forced to make a heartbreaking decision: allow the demons to ravage the continent, or seal away the other emperors, trusting that future generations would have the strength to face them. His choice was an eternal sacrifice… but demons always find a way back. Now, the world stands on the brink of collapse, and the battle for survival begins once again. Will this be the final end of humanity, or the beginning of a new era, where the past and the future collide in unexpected ways

Nobody's perfect. We all have flaws. We all carry the weight of what makes us human—unrealized potential, fleeting ambition, procrastination, or settling for a life of mediocrity. For most, it’s just part of living. For Alexander Hawthorne, it was all he knew. Born into privilege in the gleaming city of Kaelion, Xander had every advantage: wealth, status, a name that commanded respect. But beneath the surface, he drifted—unmotivated, uncertain, and haunted by the sudden loss of his mother. The fire within him had dimmed, leaving only the shadow of what he could become. Until that day. The day he stumbled upon a secret his family kept buried for generations. A mantle of power, a destiny so heavy it could break any unworthy soul. The path to becoming a Sovereign—was not given, it was earned. And it was guarded by unimaginable trials, enemies wearing familiar faces, and truths that could shatter everything Xander thought he knew about his family and himself. To rise, he must shed the man he was and embrace the warrior he’s meant to be. Because in a multiverse on the brink of chaos, where legacies are forged or destroyed, failure is not an option. But is he ready to claim the mantle… or will he be the Hawthorne that lets it all crumble? Come along on this journey with me and see for yourself.

The world's messed up. Monsters started falling from the sky. Flesh-eating creatures that almost wiped out Humanity.But then, people began to awaken strange abilities—Gifts, they called them. Supernatural powers that gave us a fighting chance. With these new abilities, we fought back, and for a while, it seemed like we were winning. Life slowly started to return to something that resembled normal. That is, until the Curses began. No one knows where they came from or why they started, but one thing was clear: they weren’t Gifts. They were something darker, twisted, as if reflecting the worst parts of humanity. People whispered that the Cursed were dangerous, unstable. Some even believed they were monsters in human skin. I used to think having a Gift would be the best thing that could ever happen to me. I dreamed of it, even. Too bad I didn’t get mine until the darkest moment of my life. And it wasn’t a Gift at all. But hey, like I said before, the world’s messed up.

Long time ago, God was lonely. He sat alone in an empty house high above tending to the matters of the; heavens, earth and the underworld. One day he as he was working, a stray cat appeared. The cat pitied God seeing that he was all alone and decided to stay. Soon, God had an idea. He decided to throw a banquet and invite the creatures of earth. He wrote letters and scattered them from his window. Alas, only twelve animals honored the invitation; the rat, the ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the rooster, the dog and the pig. Feeling very excited God decided to gift each animal handsomely. To some he gave wealth, to others wisdom and good fortune but when it came to the snake, he made him immortal because he was such a beautiful creature. All animals returned back to their abodes but it became a tradition to visit God yearly. Year after year, decade after decade, all the animals began to die one after the other except the snake. Soon he was the only one remaining of the thirteen. God noticed his suffering but unfortunately didn't know how to take back the gift decided to add another gift to at least ease his suffering; giving him the chance to take up human form as long as he didn't come in contact with a female being or exerts too much of his energy. Thus the snake made his way to dwell with the humans as a hermit ever young and ever lonely. He still visited God yearly as he was God's only companion now. Unfortunately, he fell in love with a human female child. What would he do? What would become the fate of the snake?
