Rings Of Power Balrog Awakened

Driven by the desire that has existed in the hearts of dark creatures, a young lady Lily is drawn back to her old ancestry line by forces she might not be able to comprehend.

Series of events follow her arrival as the darkness that looms around her unearths people's fears. Her truest form is revealed when she is sent on a mission to let free the chains on the gateway to "hell". Lily becomes the only chance for the dark race to easily descend on earth and expand their control. Or at least that is what she knows. Her impending task is nonetheless incomplete without the gateway keeper, Leo. Their encounter seem to unravel more than just the dark race's quest to invade the human world. Leo, a strong spirited lad, has his truth and journey of self realization completed by the arrival of Lily. The forces between Leo and Lily are written to repel, but with the unexpected attraction and desire for each other, will both Leo and Lily look at each other under a different light? Crossing the realms bound by time and dark sources, the fate of Lily and Leo are destined to intertwine as they venture into the darkest of paths together. What seems as a misery tends to bring them together and closer. This fondness between Lily and Leo rather shakes the existence of the forces between them. Is darkness truly as it seems? With desire, passion and betrayal, is there the slightest hope for lost trust and love to be rekindled?

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.

On the border of a kingdom named Caradel in a deep and great forest a man could be seen running, being chased by a group of men wearing armor as arrows flew in the air. One striking true to its target striking the man in the shoulder nevertheless the man continued running. The man named Baranor, a young man who had orange eyes black hair and tanned skin with a slight scruffy beard was running for his life while thinking to himself. 'How did this happen?!' Baranor running out of air feeling exhausted, and the blood flowing from his shoulder running down his back mixing with his sweat, Baranor stared in front of him only to see a drop off nearly 100 meters in front of him. The men behind him also seemed to notice that Baranor was running out of time, as nearly every single one of them let out a grin, as they approached the edge Baranor slowed to a halt, as did the men behind him. "Give up prince! Just accept what's to come, after all the throne is no longer yours to inherit!" Said the man leading the soldiers "I will never! Not after what you did to my men, not after what he did to my father!" Baranor replied "Hmph! So be it, I offer you life just for you to accept death" The man stated "Life? Life! you offer me death now or later, do you really think i'd be stupid enough to hand over the throne after witnessing your coupe against my father!" Baranor replied "Hmm, it seems your unwilling even till the end, Very well, Archer's! Fire!" The man commanded Baranor was now stuck between a rock and a hard place either jump off the cliff to a seemingly doomed fate or accept the fate that the man in front of him was offering. As he thought what he should do he heard the command the man spouted feeling the stress of the situation and his adrenalin nearly running out he decided. He'd rather die by his own hands than give the man in front of him that satisfaction! As he thought this he immediately took a step back falling to his doom. The man not expecting this looked rather confused only for his face to twist into a grin. 'Finally! Good riddance my dear prince!' The man said as he looked as the boy fell through the tough branches of the trees below Baranor looking up at one of the men that betrayed him thought to himself 'Is this how i really die? Well what can i say, i tried, i gave it my all.......' As Baranor was accepting his fate he thought back on his life only to be filled with rage 'No! I refuse to accept this laying down! Quintin I will come for you! I will come for all those who dare raise their sword to their king! No matter what! even if i have to accept a deal from the devi-' that was the last thought Baranor had before he hit the ground When Baranor hit the ground he didn't even feel the pain, just the shock, as it traveled through his body as his eyes slowly blurred he built up all his will to not pass out 'I refuse! I have to keep moving!' Baranor thought as he turned his body over back up When Baranor was starting to lose hope he started to hear faint whispers as he looked at the direction the whispers came he saw a cave, almost as if the whispers were drawing him in he forced himself to crawl and keep crawling, no matter what Baranor refused to stop crawling. Finally when Baranor arrived to where he heard the faint whispers they became louder almost screaming in his head as he saw it, a ring, resting on what looked to be an ancient place holder for it. Baranor grabbed the ring and lay on his back as he gathered his strength and said "My Fate! Is my own!" As he slid the ring on his finger. -------------------- -Author here Just a quick disclaimer! This novel is heavily inspired by lord of the rings if you couldn't tell also it's because i only ever saw one other story on a ring.

Meng Cheng Xian at the end of his life understood his problem was where he was and then became xian. But he did not understand why he was reborn again, moreover in a strange world. Having come here, he could just stay there. He did not have to be too hasty because his dream had already been fulfilled before he died. Note: 'xian' can be roughly translated as 'immortal', but for me, it is too general to use the word 'immortal' so I will temporarily use the word 'xian' = '仙'. The story is inspired by Soul Land so there are some details that feel a bit similar. Of course in the end no one will become a god because who would dare?

It has been 8 years since the emergence of the "Gates" in the world. At first it was studied due to their strange appearance and the fact that they had some kind of timer on them was also a cause for them being studied.

In a world where humanity has forgotten its place in the natural order, the ancient creatures of myth have awakened to reclaim their dominion. Among them are leviathans of the deep, phoenixes that scorch the skies, and wolves wreathed in frost and azure flame. These beings are not just creatures—they are power incarnate, tethered to the threads of magic that bind the universe. Elias Armond, a quiet young hunter from a forgotten village, is drawn into this resurgent chaos when he begins hearing the call of a being far beyond mortal comprehension. He is chosen—marked by an ancient bloodline he didn’t know he carried—and bound to Fenraen, an ancient wolf spirit forged from frost and vengeance. Their bond grants Elias strength and magic beyond his wildest dreams, but it comes with a price: a shared existence where his will and the wolf’s hunger collide. Together, they must navigate a fractured world brimming with danger. Human factions seek to exploit or destroy the awakened beasts, while other creatures view their bond as an affront to the natural order. As Elias struggles to control the wolf’s power and his own humanity, he uncovers a chilling prophecy: the creatures are waking because something far worse is coming. To survive, Elias and Fenraen must rally allies—both human and beast—and uncover the truth about the ancient pact that binds them. But as their bond deepens, Elias begins to question: is Fenraen his partner, or his master? As alliances shift and betrayals cut deep, Elias must confront the most terrifying truth of all: in the end, the line between man and monster may not exist at all.

In a quiet, superstition-riddled town where shadows seem to linger a little too long, Lisa is known as the “weird girl” with a fascination for the macabre. No one knows what to make of her quirky humor and dark curiosity, which is why, when she stumbles upon a centuries-old crypt and finds a mysterious body, Lisa does the unthinkable. Driven by a cocktail of boredom and obsession, she devises a plan to bring the corpse—Liam—back to life. And it works. But “life” is a loose term for what Liam experiences. With eerie, corpse-like qualities and an unsettling lack of memory, he becomes Lisa’s accidental undead companion—and possibly, her first love. Yet, trying to keep him hidden and “alive” in high school is no easy task. From teaching Liam how to fake a laugh and blend in with teenagers, to defending him from suspicious classmates and a nosy principal, Lisa quickly realizes that this new “relationship” comes with some killer complications. Things heat up when Jake, the school’s golden boy, starts vying for Lisa’s attention, stirring up jealousy in Liam and leaving Lisa torn between what’s “normal” and her strange, undeniable bond with her undead crush. As Liam’s past starts to surface in disturbing flashes, Lisa realizes that the mystery of his death is darker than either of them could’ve imagined—and their lives (or half-life) may depend on uncovering it. As they face suspicions, rivalry, and dangerous memories that threaten to consume Liam, Lisa must confront a terrifying truth: bringing Liam back from the dead was only the beginning. With love that defies life and death, awakened by love, bound by death, is a twisted, heart-pounding, and irresistibly funny tale of romance, rebellion, and redemption. Can Lisa and Liam survive the secrets of his past? Or will they find themselves torn apart by forces far darker than the grave?

There will always be a battle between two concepts that stay relatively the same throughout every story, life vs. death, light vs. darkness, evil vs. good, but they all fall under one category…Negativity and Positivity. In our minds that is all they are, just concepts. But…what if they were people? Beings that feel, can move, have emotions, and have their own story. Bundle up everything that those two concepts are and you can create two embodiments, one for each idea. Can we understand what they feel in our minds? No, we cannot, but here…they are honest and exist among us. We must watch, we must listen, as they become real in our hearts and minds, they deserve a spot in the light—the darkest abyss vs. the brightest stars.
