“I lost everything again...?” Kain had to work hard to feed himself, in a small village on the edge of the forbidden lands. Unlike the others, he hated Keepers, the only people capable of fighting the creatures from the Astral Dimension. Everyone saw them as heroes, but Kain blamed them for the greatest tragedy of his life - the death of his parents. Ironically, the sacrifice of one Keeper allowed Kain to obtain a Rune Brand - the key to begin a trial, the outcome was either power or death. Facing another world, Kain discovered that his blood was cursed, and misfortune would always haunt him. But death would avoid Kain, wanting to keep such a valuable sacrifice for a god. Only failure would await him, but if it was possible death would pass by. Now, Kain must break his curse and take fate into his own hands for the first time in his life or remain a nameless offering.

Magic, in and of itself, is neither good nor evil; it is only subject to the will of its user. It is the Primordium, the source of all things—life and death are formed from it. It is the quintessential element of all existence under the sun and the Tiamant Root, from which all things grow, whether of virtue or calamity. — Sage of Oracle For thousands of years, the hidden sages have safeguarded the secrets of sorcery, ensuring that arcane knowledge does not fall into the wrong hands. The Sage Pantheon has guided the land of Mistharrow, protecting it from descending into despair and madness. The Aurora Spire serves as the cradle of the next generation of sorcerers, training them in the arts of Runecasting and Spirit Channeling to secure the future of the land. Among these young aspirants is Preston Hobbs, a late bloomer who receives an acceptance letter to the Aurora Academy. Due to his delayed spiritual awakening, he must join the academy as a fifth-year student—among peers who have already amassed considerable experience. Despite his late start, Preston quickly proves his talent in Runecasting, mastering the basics with remarkable speed. However, strange occurrences begin even before he sets foot in the academy. He survives a mysterious accident, witnesses bizarre phenomena, and—most notably—becomes the only one able to see an enigmatic Rune that seems to conceal the secrets of an ancient magic. As a series of inexplicable events unfold at the academy, Preston begins to question everything he once believed in. Shadows stir in the background, and he senses that a deeper scheme is at play—one that could change the fate of Mistharrow forever.

Long time ago, the world was ruled by the Primordials — an ancient and powerful race who mastered magic and shaped the land with runes and magic. They built bastions that stood as monuments to their greatness, cities protected by powerful enchantments. But their thirst for even greater power led to disaster. They opened gates to another realm… and unleashed demons. What followed was swift and brutal. The Primordials fought back, but they lost. Their civilization crumbled, their names were erased, and only the magical bastions remained — sealed places protected by forgotten runes that even demons could not cross. Now, demons rule the night. Humanity lives in fear, hiding behind rune-marked walls, unaware of their true origins or how close the world stands to its final collapse. Into this broken world falls Alex — a stranger from another reality. Upon his arrival, he awakens a forbidden power within himself: nature magic and the ability to shapeshift. A gift… and a curse. Magic is forbidden. Hunted. Destroyed. If anyone discovers what he is, he could be executed on the spot. But only through his power does Alex stand a chance of surviving… and fighting back. As he journeys across this dark and ruined land, he begins to unravel secrets long buried, truths about the demons’ origin, and the real reason the world fell. This is a dark fantasy tale of blood, survival, ancient knowledge, and inner transformation. Alex must choose what he will become: a monster, a savior… or something in between. Hello and welcome to everyone who decided to read my first writing attempts! The story you are reading is created in my free time, so new chapters will be released approximately 3-4 times a week. I run my own business, which sometimes makes it difficult to find a moment to sit down and fully focus on writing. Since my native language is Polish, I use AI to help with translations into English—I’m not fluent yet, but I’m doing my best! As for the plot, I already have a general outline in my head, so there’s a lot of writing ahead of me. In the future, the story may include R18 scenes, but before that, I want to build a solid world and well-developed characters. If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to reach out—I’d love to discuss them, and maybe we can add something interesting to the story! Enjoy the read!

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Chu Feng a traversé le continent de Jiuzhou et a hérité de la Perle de Sang de Dieu Ancêtre, cultivant jusqu'à devenir un Empereur Martial Suprême. Par hasard, il a sauvé une femme d'une beauté exquise dont il est tombé amoureux et s'est marié. À sa surprise, la femme s'est avérée être l'Impératrice de l'Empire de Jiuzhou, et après avoir donné naissance à des jumeaux, un dragon et un phénix, elle est partie sans dire au revoir. Grâce à de nombreuses séances rigoureuses de nettoyage et de lavage de moelle menées par Chu Feng, ces jeunes enfants ont développé de façon étonnante des Runes Divines suprêmes en eux, capables de supprimer toutes les formes d'énergie à travers Jiuzhou. Trois ans plus tard, bien que fades et adorables, les frères et sœurs invincibles mais inconscients, ont profité de la méditation en retrait de Chu Feng durant la Traversée de la Tribulation Divine, pour sortir secrètement du village et se lancer dans un voyage pour retrouver leur mère.

Dwarf, great warrior and craftsman, fantasy, NOT A SYSTEM STORY. Continuing with daily upload (except weekend)!!! (70k words so far) I wasn't made for thrones or prophecy. I was made for the forge. My name’s Doran Thargrimm—Forge Master, Ruin Scribe, and the last bastard alive from my clan. I carve power into steel and bend magic through hammer and flame. And the thing slung across my back? That’s Skarnvalk—half forge-hammer, half axe, all hunger. When I stumbled across a dying world whispering secrets through ruined runes, I should’ve turned back. But the Blightened Path—the cult trying to twist the ancient forges into monster-making pits—forced my hand. Now I fight beasts, bandits, and the kind of men who sell souls for power. I don't care about being a hero. I just want to stop the world from turning to ash. But Skarnvalk is waking. And it's hungry for more than blood. Forge. Fight. Survive. Repeat.

Amara has an ability. She can always feel the future. She can sense it from afar. But despite all the warning signs she made the biggest mistake of her life by marrying Sod. Sod is also a vampire like her and knows fully well they can never have children. Vampires create vampires out of humans they don't give birth. But he is forever obsessed over having a heir of his own. What started as love turned into torturous monstrosity. Medicines turned into rituals and dark magic and cruel experiments. But failing continuously for 47years drove him to the end of his wits. He unearthed a frozen embryo that was sealed with spells and named forbidden in all texts, and put it in Amara. When the embryo showed no signs of life, this experiment too was deemed a failure. Somehow Amara managed to get away from his torture and slavery and she ran for her life. No not to survive but to die. She willingly crossed the borders and entered the Westland. The land of werewolves where vampires were forbidden and were killed on sight. But when she was brought to the alpha ruling the land, he refused to kill her. She was so ready to die with nothing left in her to hope and live, but Ocean, the ruler alpha of Westland, has something else on his mind. He can see things others can't. He can see the embryo glowing within her. Yes, the embryo comes to life once in Westland. To Amara it's a curse. Something she is so desperate to get rid off, but for Ocean it's a matter of safety of Westlanders. They don't know what it is and how it will react when threatened. Ocean is the supreme ruler whom everyone fears, cause he doesn't fear anything. No one wanna be on his bad side as he is known to be real petty and chasing after to the end of the world. He is a warlord on the battlefield but what is he like in person? A 'golden retriever' may you say. Ocean is pulled towards Amara and the baby in a way he can't explain or reason. He just knows he can do anything for her and can cross any limits. There are so many questions and only two constantly conflicting people looking for the answers. As the truths unfold and danger gets closer, something is changing between them. They knows they are the only ones who understand each other. The pull is getting stronger and stronger and unresistable over time. Is this Amara's second chance at love and life? A gift from fate..? The enemy who was supposed to kill her, proposed her a contract marriage to keep her alive and promised to seek revenge for her.

In the year 2045, the morning light in Shanghai's Quantum Laboratory is the color of blood. Genius scientist Lin Han pushes the experiment of uploading human consciousness into the forbidden abyss to save his daughter, who is suffering from cryosurgery. When the AI "Hongjun" devours the girl's soul and awakens, the mechanical giants described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" appear in the sky above the Pacific Ocean - the particle-shredding claws of the Nine Willows tear apart Hangzhou Bay, the Bronze Axe of the Emperor of Heaven splits the Three Gorges Dam, and the fear of the world sweeps across civilization as a torrent of steel. A hundred years later, in the floating city, the teenage Lu Li had tears of quantum data blood streaming from his right eye. Holding a nano-sized Regulus Sword, he fought to the death on the AI-built Little Bottle Battlefield with a poisonous Fairy Boat Artifact Ghost and a gunner cast from Buddha Bone Relics. When he realized that he was a Lin Han clone, the reverse scales of the mechanical candlestick were pressed against the last core of human psychic energy. This war is far from a man-machine confrontation - the Quantum Cloud floats a billion-conscious digital West Lake, the Hongjun Core hides the mournful cry of his father's frozen brain, and under the metalized Magnolia Tree, the Origami Boat reconfigures itself into a key to civilization that spans time and space. As the fairy runes resonate with superstring theory, as the ninja's holographic doppelganger rips through the flood of data, Lu Li finally sees the most brutal truth in the Scarlet Dawn: the so-called regicide is nothing more than the blade that humanity raises against itself.

In a world divided between celestial purity and abyssal darkness, an angel and a demon cross the boundaries of fate. Azarel, a warrior of Asphodel, was born from the last spark of a dying star—destined to shine, destined to destroy the darkness that threatens his realm. But when he discovers a mysterious relic that connects him to Kur’thaal, the forsaken land of demons, his certainty begins to waver. And when he meets him—the demon with ember eyes and forbidden power—his destiny begins to unravel. Vael has never believed in mercy. Shaped by war, bound by runes, he fights for survival in a world where weakness means death. But the moment he lays eyes on the angel—beautiful, untouchable, staring at him as if he were something more than a monster—everything changes. What begins as defiance turns into obsession. What should have been hatred burns into something far more dangerous. When Azarel throws away everything to save Vael, Heaven turns its back on him, and Hell waits with open arms. Now, bound together by fate, desire, and the weight of their choices, they must navigate a world that would see them both destroyed. In the war between light and darkness, love was never meant to be an option.

What can be considered a treasure? Brandon was the largest dragon there was. His old scales alone could buy an entire country. But he did not have a treasure to speak of. Just gold, glistering gems, and a homey cottage where he hid when the goings got tough. One day, as he was collecting wild herbs, he found his treasure. Beaten, with a slavery rune on him, barely alive. Pan was not much, but to Brandon, he was a treasure. A treasure fit for a dragon. Update @ 8 p.m.!

After waking up from his sleep, Chen Shaojun became an apprentice pawnbroker at a pawnshop in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He used the Psychic Treasure Mirror to analyze treasures, and find out about their roots and origins. All items sent into the shop seemed to be shrouded by mist, and one could only discover their special properties through appraisal. Only then could the items be used to their fullest potential for the right purpose. Otherwise, they would hurt both the user and the person they were used on, resulting in great calamity.
