Read The Rise Of The Shield Hero

In the fractured world of Aelthara, a sword of unimaginable power rests embedded in stone. Known as Arcanum’s Edge, it is said to have split the Three Realms—Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld—and only the one deemed truly worthy can wield it, uniting the realms and becoming the King of the World. For centuries, conquerors have sought the sword, but the closer they came to ruling the planet, the more their strength withered, cursed by the sword’s unseen magic. None have succeeded, and the world remains divided. Born frail and weak, Kaelion, son of the ambitious Emperor Tharvane, carries the weight of his father’s unfinished quest. The Emperor, believing he could outsmart the sword’s magic, halted his conquests just short of total domination, hoping to pass the mantle of worthiness to his heir. But Kaelion’s frailty is no accident—his weakness is the sword’s judgment, a reminder that even his bloodline is unworthy. Dismissed by his father and mocked by the empire, Kaelion yearns to prove himself. But when an ancient prophecy awakens and rival factions vie for control of Arcanum’s Edge, Kaelion is thrust into a journey he never wanted. Joined by a group of unlikely allies—a disgraced warrior, a cunning thief, and a mysterious guide tied to the sword’s origins—Kaelion must confront the truth of his lineage, the hidden cost of power, and the fractured state of Aelthara. As the battle for the sword intensifies, Kaelion learns that strength alone cannot lift the blade. Only through understanding the true nature of the sword—and himself—can he hope to become the leader the world needs. But with shadowy forces manipulating events and a rival claimant emerging, Kaelion must decide whether the price of unity is worth the sacrifice it demands. "The Rise of the True King" is a tale of destiny, sacrifice, and the journey to discover that the greatest strength lies not in power, but in the courage to heal a broken world.

A boy derived by rage avenges his parents by defeating the demon lord

Arakh Xei, despite an unfortunate childhood, stumbled upon a strange and hidden altar with his two closest friends—a discovery that seemed to be a stroke of luck. But fate had other plans. While his friends managed to escape, Arakh was left behind, trapped within the altar’s confines. For years, he remained inside, alone with the codex that rested atop the altar—a tome brimming with knowledge of enhancement. When Arakh finally emerged, the world he returned to was not the same. Time had moved on, but for him, it was as if none had passed. He remained the same boy who had first touched the codex, unchanged by the years that had aged everyone else.

They called me The Whisperer. A joke. A mockery. The boy with the weakest magic just because I was a farmer. I was powerless when they came. I watched as my father and my mother was slaughtered. My village was burned to ashes, and the man in the black robe vanished, leaving nothing but blood and unanswered questions. All I had left was my infant sister and the faint spark of magic they all ridiculed. But even a whisper can grow into a storm. Now, I walk the path alone. My weak magic will become their weakness. I will make them hear the screams they left behind, feel the pain they inflicted, and drown in the vengeance they thought they escaped. They thought I was nothing. They were wrong. I will rise, and the last thing they’ll ever hear… is a whisper.

Humanities technology advanced exponentially throughout the years. The only thing that they hadn't focused on for a while was space. The endless abyss that they call space was still unknown to them. Once they colonized their solar system, they thought it wasn't enough. They sent a search party out of their solar system but soon lost contact. Not long after, Earth lost contact with all of the other planets. Then a huge earthquake shook the earth itself and then portals opened up around the world. Soon monsters came out ravaging and flattening cities. Only a brave group of humans entered the portals which they then found multiple discoveries on the other side. They found stones that gave them different abilities and monsters a different world with a boss that lets them exit the portal, which was soon called dungeons. Those 6 friends were then later on called the 6 Primordial Braves. With the news of this, countries all over the world sent in people to retrieve stones, and then they would crush them, granting them abilities. They would then go back in to retrieve more and hand them out to the public. 500 years passed... This isn't the story of a hero. It's the story of a weak girl who was ridiculed and bullied every day because of her low status. And due to her cowardly nature, she was unable to fight back, making more people pick on her. While she was laying in an alleyway, with bruises and cuts all over her body, she saw a green, semi-see-through panel that appeared in front of her. It was like a notification you would see in the VR games from 400 years back. The green panel had a black text that said... [Would you like to become an Ancient Being?] ------------------------------------------------------------------- !Spoiler Below! . . . At the beginning of the novel, there will be a lot of going back and forth between the MC's personality. Plus, most of the problems, in the beginning, will be centered around herself. Also, at the beginning of the novel, there is an act of short and sweet revenge that lingers just a bit longer through the story, but this novel is not revenge-based. The Yuri aspect won't be as heavily used compared to my first novel. The girlfriend is mainly used to help the MC get through the mental box and distorted feelings that the MC has to suffer through at the beginning of the novel. You might dislike the characters that I made Lucy's friends, but I promise you'll change your mind later on. I think... Okay, that should be it! Phew... that was tiring.

Kaliethe is a boy that was born in a world where people had powers called "Blessings". The Blessings gave them extraordinary abilities which normal people could not replicate. People with Blessings could create flames, water or air and etc. Kaliethe came from a clan of Phoenix-like people known as The Ashenflame. As so, he was blessed with the ability of a phoenix, granting him the abilities of flames and regeneration. However, after he was born, a entity cloaked and cladded with darkness whispered into his heart, bounding his soul and making him unable to reach his full potential.

What is a man, if not a vessel of hidden truths and whispered deceptions? Beneath the fragile facade lies a labyrinth of secrets—truths buried so deeply they intertwine with the lies we tell ourselves just to survive another day. The masks we wear may fool the world, but they cannot hide the fractures within. Even those we hold closest, the ones we entrust with our hearts, may be the very hands carving unseen wounds into our souls, feeding them to the monsters lurking in the shadows. Blood tells no lies, flowing only when life is claimed, but even its crimson clarity is no guide to the truth. How does one find what is real when their very existence is a fractured mirror, splintered into shards that reflect only distorted glimpses of an identity lost? Each shard offers the promise of clarity, yet together, they form nothing but ruin. To uncover the truth is to brave the labyrinth, to face the darkness, and to risk losing what little remains of the self. For in the end, can a man truly hold a reflection if he no longer knows who—or what—he truly is?

In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, where monsters, mythical creatures, alien species, and spirits wage a relentless battle for survival, a lone boy awakens—reborn as the last pure human. Stripped of his full memory, he clings to fragments of knowledge and the faint echoes of entertainment from a forgotten Earth. This new reality is one of peril, powered by energies beyond comprehension and dominated by beings wielding unique, otherworldly powers. The boy must navigate treacherous alliances, fight to carve out a place in this ruthless world, and face the looming question: Can he survive when everything is out to kill him? But this is no ordinary tale of triumph. In this story, death is final, and survival is earned. Should the boy fall, the world moves on—with a new protagonist stepping into the void, determined to endure in a realm where hope is a fleeting ember. This is not a story of invincible heroes—this is a chronicle of survival against impossible odds.

A lone figure stood amid the wreckage of where once reigned a pantheon, his broad back radiating an unfathomable aura of power as his golden irises swept over the debris that once housed some of the most powerful existences in this universe. "oh.. you survived that ?" Loki asked with a hint of surprise as his eyes fell on the bloodied blue-haired God barely clinging to life a few meters away Poseidon couldn't even muster the strength to respond as his eyes stared at Loki in pure terror. His mind couldn't help but think, 'What did my brother do to offend such an existence?!' Suddenly, Poseidon felt a cold chill run down his spine as a gust of wind flew passed him, before he could muster the strength to turn and face what could possibly make him feel more dreadful than the green-haired demon before him, the demon uttered three words that made his blood run cold "Fenrir.. eat him." ========= This story is strictly fictional. It revolves around a down-and-out Loki who rises to the pinnacle of existence. It will have some similarities to what is already known in the myths; however, due to my lack of knowledge on the matter, most of the story is entirely original, with only a few elements added as I learn more through my research along the way. As I said, it's strictly fictional. ========= NOTE: I am not a professional writer and have zero experience. This is honestly just to gain experience as well as a hobby but constructive criticism is always welcomed. I will try to upload 2-4 chapters a week with each chapter having at least 1200 words

"Shall I tell you a little secret? But I have to warn you, you won't like it." No one likes spoilers, therefore, I present this to you. "Is it a book filled with spoilers or a book specifically about spoilers?" Read between the lines, that is what you do when you are eager to find out. To figure out a secret, to interpret and keep note of what there is to come. "It is kind of like that, but I would rather refer to it as a compilation or a series." "Or an outline, a note, reminder for what'll end up happening, whatever feels right to you." A story that has only one plot, universe, and meaning is not how you would describe this one. Spoiler though, you'll never be satisfied. /Extra/ "One more thing... None of this is real. Unless you know what exactly is going on."
