No Path but the Void

In a world overshadowed by eternal darkness, monstrous creatures born from meteorite fragments have ravaged humanity, forcing survivors underground into a colony devoid of light. Among them is Zami Agatoru, a young man burdened by tragedy and destined for greatness. Once a promising warrior of his clan, Zami was the sole survivor of a monster attack that claimed his family and clan. Now, he dwells in the vast, oppressive underworld, facing unimaginable horrors while seeking redemption and purpose. Zami’s strength stems not from supernatural powers but from years of relentless training and a cursed ability: revival. Upon death, Zami revives moments before his defeat, retaining memories and honing his skills over countless lifetimes. This ability has allowed him to surpass human limits, evolving both mind and body into the perfect warrior. Armed with a black katana forged from an otherworldly stone and a toxic dagger he crafted from monster bones, Zami ventures deeper into the colony. He faces terrifying Vessels, avatars of powerful entities tied to the meteorites. Each Vessel wields devastating abilities, challenging Zami’s resolve and pushing him beyond his physical and mental limits. As Zami progresses, he unravels the colony's dark secrets: the origin of the meteorites, the true nature of the Vessels, and the essence of the creatures that worship these fragments. Along the way, he uncovers the deeper truth about himself and the entity that dwells within him—Karesh, a being tied to the meteorite’s power. Driven by the need to protect humanity and confront the Vessels, Zami faces impossible odds. From the Abyssal Cradle, home of the fearsome Wailing Dread, to the Forsaken Hollow, where the Silent Agony’s true body lies, and the Withering Spire, where Shattered Dominion warps reality itself, Zami battles creatures that defy logic. Amid this chaos, Zami grapples with his humanity. His stoic, emotionless demeanor hides a young man carrying the weight of loss and duty. Moments of quiet—crafting weapons, preparing food, or reflecting on his clan’s philosophy—highlight his depth and resilience. Through countless revivals, bloody battles, and grueling challenges, Zami inches closer to his ultimate goal: destroying the meteorite fragments and ending the monsters’ reign. But with each battle, the cost of his journey grows heavier, forcing him to confront the essence of sacrifice, mortality, and the question of what it truly means to be human.

The Dragon Prince's Bride

*Author's other work (She belongs to the Demon King)* *** They say opposite attracts, that's a lie. Opposites kill each other! When a hot blood meets another hot blood, things are bound to get burnt. That is exactly what happens when the pompous and prideful elven princess, Neriah of the Avelah Kingdom is forced to marry the brash dragon Prince, Barak of the Trago Kingdom. Neriah's goal is to someday break away from her marriage and run away with the love of her life, Lyle of the Niles. While Barak will do everything to keep her as a wife. Neriah is certain she's in love with another, but she's also certain that no one can ignite the kind of passion her husband brings. Her husband who she hates more than anything. Can the flames of passion be drawn from hate? Can that same passion burn down the walls of lies, betrayal, and hurt? Can its ashes transcend into love? Excerpt "I am a rose, a beautiful flower, delicate and precious! But you my dear sir are nothing but the thorny stem! Prickly, dangerous and very harmful!" ranted Neriah while poking his chest with her index finger. "Well you seem to forget one important detail, my love." He calmly grabbed her poking hand. "And what would that be, my fine sir?" "That the thorny stem and the rose grow together. The delicate rose and the prickly thorn, they belong together my dear." "You—" "And no amount of ranting and raging will change that. You think I want to keep a witch like you? You are a pain in the neck. If I am a thorn then you are a piece of fish bone stuck inside my neck. I cannot swallow and I can not spit it out! I just have to bear it!" "You insolent bastard! Do you mean to say I am a burden!" "Well you are no precious prize, are you?" And that was it, she threw herself at him with her claws ready to mar his face, but he was quicker and he caught both her hands with one of his own and pressed her heaving chest upon his. Golden eyes stared deep into hers. They were as green as the fresh leaves on an orange tree. His fingers caressed her face, “You might not be a precious prize, but by the heavens, you are mine.” And his lips fell on hers, and once again, another argument was drowned.

THE WEAVER OF WORLDS

The universe is not silent. Beneath the infinite expanse of stars and nebulas, there lies a rhythm, a symphony of creation that hums through the fabric of existence. From my vantage point in the observatory—a citadel of obsidian suspended high above the celestial tapestry of the Felox Universe—I feel it, vibrating beneath my feet. Before me, a holographic panorama unfolds, revealing countless galaxies, each a cradle of life or a monument to ruin. It is breathtaking, immense, and fragile. I am Arinath Alfahiem, the new Origin Being, and the weight of an entire universe rests upon my shoulders. For the past century, chaos has reigned. The Felox Universe, once a harmonious mosaic of worlds, has unraveled into a tumultuous sea of ambition and power. My own ascension—shaped by the transfer of the Origin Being's legacy—left a void that the cosmos was unprepared to fill. Without balance, worlds descended into turmoil. Beings of entropy, the Devourers from the Abyss, found cracks in the universe's defenses, while mortal rulers, drunk on newfound supernatural powers, unleashed devastation in their quests for dominance. The twelve Universal Administrators—stalwart beings of immense wisdom and strength—have fought valiantly to stem the tide. But even their combined efforts falter before the magnitude of the growing disorder. The task of restoring equilibrium cannot be achieved through strength alone. It requires something greater: guidance, understanding, and restraint. My role as Origin Being is not to rule with an iron fist or to mold the universe in my image. It is to nurture, to guide, to maintain the fragile balance that sustains existence. Yet this is no simple task. Direct intervention, though tempting, risks tipping the scales further into chaos. Instead, I walk among mortals, veiling my power, learning their struggles, their dreams, and their fears. It is among them that I find the seeds of hope—the champions and apostles who will carry the universe's burden alongside me. My purpose is clear: to preserve the Felox Universe, to shield it from unraveling, and to ensure its equilibrium. But I must tread carefully, for too much interference would shatter the very balance I seek to maintain. In a cosmos teetering on the edge of ruin, my greatest challenge lies not in wielding my immense power but in knowing when to stay my hand. This is the story of balance. The story of a universe in chaos and a being who seeks to heal it—not by force, but by wisdom, choice, and the careful orchestration of destiny. This is my first novel, Happy Reading.

Re:Thug life

Jayden, a teenager from America, moves to Mombasa to live with his grandmother and learn about the culture where he was born. Adjusting to life in a new environment, Jayden struggles with routines and expectations. His first day of school sets the stage for a dramatic encounter. After staying up all night playing video games, he wakes up late and rushes to class. On his way, he stumbles upon Ali, a fellow student, being beaten by a group of bullies. Despite being new and knowing no one, Jayden intervenes, showcasing impressive fighting skills as he takes down the attackers. Ali is shocked that someone would help him, especially since most of their schoolmates ostracize him, seeing him as a troublemaker. Jayden, however, recognizes Ali’s situation and offers him advice, urging him not to let himself be a target again. The brief but intense encounter sparks an unexpected connection between the two boys. At school, Jayden is further introduced to his classmates, including Digler, a new transfer student from Nairobi. Digler is bold, charismatic, and unapologetically confident, immediately drawing attention. He takes a seat beside Jayden and strikes up a conversation, showing interest in Jayden’s background and life in America. Digler’s casual charm hides a deeper layer of unpredictability, as he is known to have a reputation for trouble. Throughout the day, Digler’s carefree and rebellious attitude contrasts with Ali’s reserved and cautious nature. While Jayden begins to form a bond with Digler, Ali remains skeptical, warning Jayden to be careful around him. Ali’s wariness stems from his own experiences with people who exude charm but bring chaos. As the three boys navigate the dynamics of their new friendship, the story highlights their individual struggles and personalities. Jayden, still adjusting to his new environment, shows a natural ability to connect with people through his actions rather than words. Ali, who is used to being judged harshly, begins to see a glimmer of hope in the possibility of genuine friendship. Digler, meanwhile, remains an enigma, with his playful demeanor masking the potential for deeper conflicts or alliances. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Mombasa, the story explores themes of identity, trust, and belonging. Each boy brings a unique perspective shaped by their past experiences, and their interactions challenge them to confront their own assumptions and fears. Jayden’s journey from a quiet, isolated individual to someone willing to stand up for others sets the tone for a narrative that promises growth, camaraderie, and unexpected challenges ahead. With Jayden, Ali, and Digler all sharing the same classroom, their intersecting paths hint at a developing story of friendship, rivalry, and the trials of navigating life as teenagers in a culturally rich yet complicated environment.

At the age of 14, Eiravyne suffered a brutal burn at the hands of her father, a punishment she believed stemmed from her own failings—her perceived lack of beauty, worth, and value. But years later, after the slaughter of her entire family, she uncovered the truth: the burn wasn’t just cruelty; it was a ritual, binding her to Duke Ilkar Skivarion, a man her family had raised her to fear without question.

Her fragile sense of self shattered further when she discovered her abusive family had not been her true bloodline.

Amid this turmoil stood Urag, a man as loyal as he was mysterious, bound by a past that entwined with hers in ways she couldn’t yet fathom.

Dropped 6942969

Sora was once a normal kid. After his life changed from an incident his life went downhill up until the moment of his death. some random dude named Steven Magee once said, “true freedom is achieved through death.” This quote applied to Sora better than most would have expected… or so you would think. For Sora death only came with more responsibility, as after he died he was reborn in Konoha as a ninja graduating from the ninja academy. a new adventure awaiting around the corner with new responsibilities keeping him on his toes. _______ There will more than likely be no Harem and there most likely won’t be any smut especially since I’m not sure which route I will take on romance. The fic will not have Yaoi or any NTR, if I do ramance sex scenes would only be implied since I don’t want to loose focus on the actual plot like the many horny writers out there do. For that same reason there will not be any harem since writers who write harem fics tend to focus more on harem building than they do on the actual plot or growth of non female side characters. ____ last note: This isn’t my first attempt at writing a fanfiction but the first fanfiction I have decided to try and commit to. I can’t make any promises on quality but rest assured the only reason I haven’t wrote before is because I care about the quality. most of my issues with writing stem from overthinking something or trying to follow too close to cannon. my goal for the story is break both of those habits. try not to flame me too much in the comments.

Chronicles of the Iterative Beyond

After the chaotic conclusion of the previous novel, reality itself collapses. Protagonists Kai and Andreas awaken in a realm unlike any other: the Iterative Beyond. This boundless, ever-shifting plane of existence is defined by endless layers of creation, each more complex and alien than the last. At its core lies the Forge of Recursive Creation, a mechanism that perpetually spawns new layers of reality, ensuring that no single layer can ever encapsulate the entirety of existence. However, the Iterative Beyond is in danger. A mysterious and malevolent entity known as The Null Artisan has begun unraveling the layers, threatening to erase not just the Beyond but all realities that stem from it. In this ever-changing realm, Kai and Andreas discover they possess a strange new power: the Echo of Creation, a gift that allows them to reshape fragments of the Iterative Beyond. Yet, they soon realize the cost of their power—every act of creation births new paradoxes, new layers, and pushes them further from the elusive "truth" they seek. To stop The Null Artisan, they must navigate the Cascade of Paradoxical Layers, a series of surreal realms where the laws of existence shift unpredictably. Along the way, they encounter enigmatic entities like the Architect of Chaos, a being who claims to know the true purpose of the Forge, and the Keeper of the Vortex, a guardian of forgotten realities. The ultimate goal is to reach the Core of Originless Expanse, the alleged heart of all existence. But as they delve deeper, Kai and Andreas must confront a harrowing truth: the Forge itself may not be a mechanism of creation but a prison, trapping them and every reality in an endless cycle of narratives. Faced with impossible choices, they grapple with questions of identity, purpose, and sacrifice. Can they truly escape the Iterative Beyond, or will they become yet another story within its infinite layers?
