Steadfast Duel

SWORD GOD

The Seeker, an unparalleled swordmaster, stood as the undisputed champion of the martial world. His blade work was not just flawless—it was legendary, a force of nature that could not be challenged. But even legends face their limits. In his final duel against the enigmatic Arthur, a warrior thought to have vanished over a century ago, the Seeker triumphed—yet victory came at a steep price. His wounds were fatal, and his story seemed to end that day. Except, it didn’t. Death was only the beginning. The Seeker’s spirit crossed the boundaries of existence, thrust into a strange and uncharted world. A world of magic, chaos, and powers far beyond anything he had ever known. With sheer determination and an uncanny ability to adapt, he rose through the ranks of this new realm, cutting down foes and earning the fear of enemies far and wide. But as enemies multiplied, so did his struggles. Wounded and on the verge of collapse once more, his fate seemed sealed. Yet, something within him stirred. In his darkest moment, his spirit underwent a transformation—an awakening. The sword that had defined him for so long was no longer a weapon; it became an extension of his very being, a conduit for an untapped, otherworldly power. From that moment on, the Seeker’s journey shifted. He was no longer just a master of the blade. He became something more—a warrior reborn, destined to carve a new legend in a world desperate for heroes. The path ahead was uncharted, but one thing was certain: he would rise, not as a mere swordsman, but as the Sword God of a new era.

The Hero's Party Betrayed Me, So I Became a Dungeon Master

--WSA 2025 ENTRY-- Cale was the Hero. The savior of nations, the one destined to triumph over evil. With a party of trusted allies, he defeated the Demon King, he stood at the pinnacle of fame and glory. But when the time came to share the spoils of victory, he learned a cruel truth: His so-called allies, Aelira the gentle healer, Rhogar the steadfast tank, Jorin the playful rogue, and Velena the wise mage, were anything but. "You’re a relic of the past, Cale," they sneered. "We don’t need a Hero in this new world." Betrayed, seen as a dispensable tool. He found himself being pulled into a swirling void, and plummeted into darkness. But fate had other plans. Cale awakened to an ancient power deep within the Abyss: the Dungeon Master System.

And so began Cale's transformation. From the ashes of betrayal, he emerged no longer just a Hero, but a Dungeon Master, a being capable of building monstrous lairs, commanding terrifying creatures, and a potential to create even worlds, he had the power to devour anyone foolish enough to challenge him. But this new change is unforgiving, and Cale is now a player in a larger, deadlier game, one with ancient factions, and secrets powerful enough to shake the foundations of reality itself. When the hunters become the hunted, when mortals seek to challenge monsters, who will prevail? The Hero is dead. The Dungeon Master rises.

Love of Fortune and Steel

Love of Fortune and Steel is a historical fantasy that weaves together romance, comedy, adventure, and the clash of worlds. James, a modern-day banker with an unwavering passion for history, experiences an extraordinary transformation during a routine museum visit. A mysterious supernatural force transmigrates him into a parallel medieval realm—a world familiar yet distinctly altered with its own unique nations, rulers, customs, and the presence of mana, a mystical energy that enhances martial prowess. In this enigmatic land, James encounters Bisera, a formidable and strikingly beautiful general of the Vakerian Empire, locked in a desperate struggle against the powerful Gillyrian Empire. Utilizing items granted by the supernatural entity, James saves Bisera’s life. Grateful and believing him to be a divine emissary sent by the Universal Spirit in response to her prayer, Bisera invites James to join her in defending the Vakerian Empire. As two souls isolated by their disparate worlds, a profound romance swiftly ignites between them. However, Bisera’s devout faith and the heavy burden of her responsibilities compel her to restrain their relationship, fearing that any overt passion might conflict with her duties and incur the wrath of the Universal Spirit, condemning their souls and the Vakerian Empire to ruin. James, enthralled by Bisera’s personality and talent, finds himself irresistibly drawn to her, yet frustrated by the invisible barriers she maintains. The vast differences in their worldviews and customs, coupled with James’s determination to return to his own world—an eventuality that might irrevocably separate them—act as chains on their blossoming love. With his modern knowledge and items, along with Bisera’s reliance on him, James quickly becomes an invaluable asset to the Vakerian Empire. However, this also makes him a target of Vakerian court politics and Gillyrian diplomacy. Their bond is further tested with the arrival of Saralta, a bold and free-spirited cavalry commander from the Vakerian steppes. In stark contrast to Bisera’s reserved and devout nature, Saralta pursues James with unbridled confidence and charm, challenging Bisera’s deeply held beliefs. Saralta’s liberal approach to love ignites a complex and often comical love triangle, forcing Bisera to confront her fear of losing James to Saralta’s advances and her greater dread of endangering their souls should they succumb to their feelings. As the Gillyrian onslaught intensifies, James, Bisera, and Saralta are swept into a maelstrom of love, duty, and faith. Bisera grapples with her unwavering sense of duty and steadfast faith, torn by the love that binds her to James. Saralta oscillates between the allure of freedom and the demands of propriety. Meanwhile, James must navigate his deep emotional devotion to Bisera and his fiery physical attraction to Saralta, all while striving to find a way between the two worlds before losing them both.
