Manticore

In a world of Aethel where ancient secrets and powerful forces govern the land, a young prodigy named Ethan embarks on a journey that will test his strength, wisdom, and resolve. At just 16 years old, Ethan has already surpassed most of his peers, having been trained by the most formidable figures in a secluded village deep within the treacherous Black Forest. This village, home to former legends who fell short of reaching their full potential due to tragic circumstances, served as Ethan's training ground. Here, he learned the arts of swordsmanship, magic, blacksmithing, medicine, and archery from the best, including an old SSS-ranked adventurer and a grandmaster sage who raised him after his parents' untimely death. With the blessing of his mentors and a heart full of determination, Ethan sets off on a journey toward a distant city 1000 kilometers away. As he travels through the Black Forest, he reflects on the lessons learned, the levels of mastery he has achieved in both swordsmanship and magic, and the weight of the expectations placed upon him by those who have entrusted him with their legacies. However, the path is fraught with danger. The Black Forest is not just any forest; it is a place where only the most powerful dare to tread. Along the way, Ethan encounters formidable monsters, including an SS-ranked manticore, testing his abilities and pushing him to the limits of his strength. Ethan's journey is not just one of physical travel, but also a journey of self-discovery. As he battles through the dangers of the forest, he begins to realize the true extent of his powers and the destiny that awaits him. But with great power comes great responsibility, and Ethan must navigate the challenges ahead with care, for the path to greatness is perilous, and even the strongest can falter. As Ethan continues his journey, the old villagers he left behind speak of their hopes for him, confident that he will achieve what they could not. Yet, despite his formidable skills, Ethan remains humble, knowing that he still has a long way to go to reach the pinnacle of power. The journey is just beginning, and the world beyond the forest holds many more challenges, mysteries, and revelations that will shape Ethan's destiny.

A handsome half-orc with a hulking body filled with perfect muscles stands carrying a great axe over one shoulder. His neon blue eyes watching the void, waiting for those that would threaten his world. Huge creatures with monstrous figures, beasts of the abyss, here to kill the orc. Their angered shrieks and pained screams filled the air. The corpses of these monsters surround his body, forming his throne of dread. His long tail smashed down, turning them into pulp while using his brutal axe with powerful chops, cleaving them into pieces. "This world shall become ours; you cannot stop our legion! Orc!" a distorted and evil voice sounded. "WATCH ME!" Shouted the orc, filled with confidence and pride. In defiance, a purple mist shrouded him as he transformed into a monster himself, with long gryphon wings and sharp horns from his head—a hulking muscular body and legs filled with thick scales and black hooves. Bang! The orc stepped forward, his heart burning with passion and desire as he bellowed with a demonic and distorted voice. "I am the Sovereign of Dread, foul Daemons. This is MY world! Return to your wasteland to rot, or DIE!" He was a manticore, the only male manticore ever to exist. He fights not for power. Not for glory! Alistair "Raven" Granbell fights only for his beloved women and because he LOVES to fight the strong and crush them under his axe Mor'vaal and prove he deserves his Dread Sovereign title. Dread Sovereign is exclusively published on Webnovel.com.

A scientist needs to get back to his own time. A wizard needs revenge. An Amazon warrior tribe needs their city back. A demon needs his world fixed. A manticore needs lunch. An unlikely band of heroes fights their way through time and space in this action-packed adventure.

After the Old gods had been killed, the new age of freedom had begun. For two centuries, the people that had once been played against each other in pointless wars have worked hard to make new lives for themselves, unknowing of those that had retreated into the shadows beyond the realms. Amongst those shadows, as thankless protectors hold out hands for aid and peace, the servants of the old gods awaken. Those who know them work to foil their plans, those that know of them covet what they bring. Those who remember, fear the return of the old. This is the story that follows one such protector, dedicated to the elimination of those that have grown strong in the outer realms, gathering others from within to push them back. Will try and update each week. Also posting on Scribble Hub and Royal road.
