Richard North Patterson

In a world devastated by the E virus, Samantha struggles to keep her little brother alive while humanity is plunged into chaos. Civilization has fallen, leaving behind a desolate landscape, where the ruins of cities are only a reminder of the past. Ghouls, beings infected by the virus, roam the world and stalk the few remaining survivors. Samantha, armed with a rusty machete, faces the harsh reality of a world where survival is a luxury. On her way to despair, she clings to the hope of finding refuge in a fortress to the north, where a rumor tells of a wall that could protect the survivors. However, resources in the village are running low, and hunger grips everyone. When he approaches the village leader's residence, he discovers an even more terrifying reality: the chief, once a trustworthy man, has succumbed to fanaticism and proposes to sacrifice the weakest to save himself. Amidst the tension, Samantha will have to face not only the horrors of an apocalyptic world, but also the inner demons of those who were once her colleagues. With the threat of ghouls always lurking, Samantha must do whatever it takes to save her brother and find a way out before the darkness is all-consuming. But in this new world, who can trust whom, and how far will she be willing to go to save her brother?

Reborn into a medieval-like continent as the son of a baron, Richard has been trying to understand this world through science since birth. After hearing rumors about wizards, he sets out to explore this unknown mystery step by step. Bad news: The rumors about werewolves are false. Good news: There are indeed fire bears near the castle! Better news: Loren's Human Diary is already stirring with excitement! “In all the realms of existence, there exists a principle underlying all things.” Richard, quill in hand, fervently inscribed upon papyrus, “Though sorcery may appear to defy the tenets of scientific understanding, once one comprehends the purest principle of truth, the secrets concealed therein become manifest. Each world harbors its own enigmas, as well as its own science, which remains elusive to the minds of many, thus they term it sorcery. And I am the wizard who unveils these secrets—Wizard The Modern.”

Which way is North? How do you reach North without seeing? His world is darkness, but not silence; for the staff in his hand sings. Curved from an ancient tree whose roots drink from the hidden warmth beneath the snow, it hums a melody only he can hear, a compass tuned to the heartbeat of the North. He navigates the world searching for his mother's homeland. The land he seeks is no barren waste. Rivers slice through ice like liquid sapphire, their music harmonizing with his staff. Towers of crystal and light pierce the horizon - spires built by forgotten hands, refracting auroras into swords of color. Here, cold is not an end but a crucible. Fruit trees, heavy with pomegranates glowing like embers, thrive where others would perish. Their sweetness is earned. Their roots know secrets. This is Frostsprite, where the land is like a fable. Are all fables true? ~~~~ You can also engage in this story ... if you want something added put it in the comments.

Under a crimson moon, Brian discovered that just like some rare extreme psychopaths, he also acquired a miraculous ability: to fulfill the lingering attachment of the remains and receive gifts from the corpses. While he felt joy, there was also a bit of confusion. Being of good conduct and benevolent to others, why did he also receive the crimson moon's gift? This was the greatest insult to his noble character!!!

Richard Cross never believed in ghosts—until the night he saw one with his own eyes. Ever since his parents’ brutal murder, strange things have followed him, lurking just out of sight. Now, at 17, he wants nothing more than an ordinary life, skipping school, dodging teachers, and joking with his best friend. But when a chance encounter pulls him into the world of spirits, exorcists, and ancient powers, Richard realizes he can no longer ignore the truth. Bound to a mysterious entity with glowing blue flames, Richard and his small group of friends must uncover the secrets of the unseen world, facing ghosts that defy logic and enemies that blur the line between man and monster. As he hones his abilities, Richard will learn that the dead are restless for a reason—and some secrets refuse to stay buried.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” “Tell you what, Richard? What would you have done?” “I don’t know. Apologized sooner? Bought you a burger to make up for it?” Her eyes lit up with fire, “You think what you did to me… you think a burger can make up for it?” her eyes twinkled like she was fighting tears. Did I hurt her that badly? I was just a foolish teenager. “Nita, I am sorry. I was young, I was stupid. I wish I could take it all back and tell you how I feel instead of being a constant jerk to gain your attention.” “How did you feel that would justify what you did to me?” I paused for a minute, finding the words. “I had a huge crush on you at the time. And I didn’t know how to express myself. I was full of myself, I was the school’s ladies' man and the one girl I had eyes for didn’t even care if I existed,”  “And that justified what you did to me? Richard, you broke me. I can forgive you for ‘accidentally’ spilling your ice cream on me, or throwing my due assignment in the toilet, or the gum in my hair, or the glue in my chair but tell me how can I forgive you for what you did that night? Tell me!” “What night? Nita, what are you talking about?” “Remember when you asked me if I knew who sexually assaulted me?” I nodded, but what does that have to do with anything?  The more we spoke, the more confused I became. “You did and I cannot believe that you would stand there and pretend like it didn’t happen!” Nita has spent years trying to forget the torment she endured at the hands of Richard. When her family’s financial ruin forces her into an arranged marriage, she is horrified to find out the groom himself was her bully. Richard, a charming and successful businessman meets the first woman to be repulsed by him. Intrigued, he proposes a deal of a one year marriage of convenience. Navigating life as a couple, old wounds reopen, buried memories surface. As Richard learns more about his wife, he finds that he has enemies that followed him from his past to continuously cloud his wife’s judgement. Will Nita believe the truth and bury old wounds or will the pain of the past prove too strong to heal?

He was living a normal, happy life. 『When the raven calls thrice at the break of dawn, remember the life you left behind. For it is in the memories of yesteryears that you will find the strength to forge tomorrow』 A loving father and a successful confession. Good looks and top of his class. He had all he wanted, however... 『The raven will guide you to wisdom, but beware its twin; for it brings only sorrow. The path of Odin is paved with both light and darkness. Choose wisely; lest you shall be consumed by it』 It seemed like the threads of eternity had something else planned for him. Severed strands still drift in the cosmos as he was plucked away from one, and planted into another reality. Another world. Universe. Even though reincarnation was the last thing he wanted. 『It was carved in destiny itself』 "Fuck off..." This is the story of a boy becoming a man, an ordinary becoming an unordinary-- the youngest transitioning into the oldest. The guiding star of the north. ********************** This is my first time making a story like this. Hope you enjoy it. Add it to library, comment and review if you like it. Cover is still being made by "Octowobs" This is a temporary cover. Thanks.

In a world where angels and demons have waged war for centuries, bound by the shackles of destiny, two unlikely souls defy the fates written for them. Noir, the Crimson Reaper, was once a merciless weapon of war, forged in blood and bound by his father’s will. A demon bred for destruction, he knows only battle, only orders. But when fate leads him to a young angel named Nimfa, something inside him begins to fracture—his past sins clashing against the fragile hope she offers. Nimfa, a celestial outcast, is unlike her kin. She does not see the world in the rigid light of righteousness, nor does she believe in the endless bloodshed between their races. When she crosses paths with Noir, she does not see a monster—she sees a man drowning in his own suffering, burdened by sins that were never truly his. And she makes a choice. She will save him—whether he wishes to be saved or not. With war looming and the sins of the past clawing at their heels, Noir and Nimfa must decide: will they forge their own path, or will fate consume them as it has countless others before? One carries the burden of the past. One carries the hope of the future. And together, they may rewrite destiny itself.

Jenny Anderson has always been the forgotten daughter, lost in the shadow of her father's wealth and the cruelty of her stepmother and stepsister. While her father built his business empire, Jenny endured years of neglect and maltreatment, becoming the family's scapegoat for their own failures and frustrations. Her quiet resilience was her only shield, but everything changes when her father's empire faces financial ruin, and the only way out is an unthinkable arrangement: marrying her off to Richard Logard, a billionaire shrouded in darkness and fear. Richard Logard is no ordinary billionaire. Known in the business world as ruthless and unfeeling, rumors swirl that he’s a devil in human form—a man whose fortune is as mysterious as his past. He’s feared by many, respected by few, and loved by none. When Jenny is thrust into his world, she expects nothing but cold indifference or worse. After all, what else could come from marrying the Devil himself? But Jenny soon discovers that Richard is not what he seems. Behind his fierce gaze and imposing presence, she finds a man who is fiercely protective, attentive, and—surprisingly—gentle. He treats her like a priceless treasure, lavishing her with affection and shielding her from the very people who once mistreated her. For the first time, Jenny feels seen, valued, and cared for. However, as she starts to fall for the man everyone calls a demon, her new life of luxury and love makes her stepmother and stepsister seethe with jealousy.

As Richard’s enemies close in and his true nature begins to surface, Jenny must navigate a treacherous path filled with deceit, betrayal, and revelations that will change her world forever.

I'm not sure exactly where this story will go, but if you want a story that isn't one of those harem, power fantasy type stories, then you've come to the right place. The only hope I have is to bring a story to life; not just about fireballs and whatnot, but also about the life, scenery, and people of a fantasy world. Idk if that sounds cliche, but that's the general idea I have for this story. I'll modify that statement to better explain this whole shebang as we move along. I'll also be developing the world, too; it'd be pretty awesome to have something on the side, like a bestiary type list of creatures and plants and materials, people, cultures, and whatnot--something along the lines of a fictional 'The Travels' by Marco Polo. My minimum word count per chapter is around 1,200 words. Of course, word count will vary between chapters, but 1,200 is just the minimum I've created for myself. That number will probably grow as my writing skills develop and I find my 'writing voice'. This is a complete passion project I've started again in the midst of a very busy time of my life; I can't promise any scheduling, but nonetheless, I think it'll be a fun ride for all of us, if a bit bumpy lol. Thank you for taking the time to check out my book! I hope you enjoy it :)

The devil has three rules. The first—never defy his orders. The second—never seek his face. The third—never try to leave. Elias learned these rules the moment he was sold. Born an Omega to a disgraced noble house, his future had never been his own. When his parents’ debts grew too steep, they handed him over as payment to the most feared Alpha in the kingdom—the Lord of Ravenspire. No one who enters Ravenspire ever leaves. No one has ever seen its master’s face and lived to tell the tale. Wrapped in shadows and whispers, he is known only as The Devil—a warlord, a monster, a man whose very name makes kings tremble. For years, Elias survived by keeping his head down, obeying the rules, and enduring the cold isolation of the keep. But when The Devil appoints him as his personal scribe, his world shifts. The unseen master who once seemed like a ghost begins to feel unnervingly real. A hand brushing too close. A voice low enough to send shivers down his spine. A presence that lingers even when unseen. And then there is the door at the end of the hall—the one no servant dares approach, the one locked tight as if guarding a terrible secret. Elias knows he should follow the rules. He knows he should never look. But curiosity is a dangerous thing. Because the moment he breaks the second rule… The Devil starts watching him back.

If you are not into dark romance, please, in the name of everything holy... ***Excerpt*** "My breath just made you quiver," He leaned closer so that I could almost taste his breath, "...Then imagine what my tongue would do."

The Unlikely Duo, is a fictional story made by VaibhavUnReal or Vaibhav. This novel tells about the story of Karl Richardson's and Richard Filver's early life.

“An illegitimate child will always be an outsider.” For Yu Lixue, life in the Yu family was one of endless humiliation. As the unwanted daughter with no mother to defend her, she was treated like a pawn, used, ignored, and discarded. Her talents—her paintings, her songs—were stolen by her stepmother and conniving half-sister, who claimed them as their own. Her life was a series of shadows and silence, living under their lies. But when her half-sister fled an arranged marriage with Mo Ran, a powerful but reclusive man, the family forced Lixue to take her place. Once again, her wishes were disregarded. Her marriage to Mo Ran was cold, distant—another prison she had no choice but to endure. Until the night she died in a mysterious accident, her pleas for justice buried along with her. Yet fate gave her a second chance. Reborn into the same world that betrayed her, Lixue returns with a vow: she will take back everything they stole—her art, her voice, her freedom. And when she reenters her marriage with Mo Ran, he surprises her with a proposition: he will help her get revenge against those who wronged her. But Lixue is wary. Why is this man, who barely showed her any warmth before, now offering to stand by her side? As they plot against the Yu family, Lixue realizes that Mo Ran has his own reasons for revenge. Their alliance begins to blur the line between ally and enemy, and she questions whether he’s truly on her side or if he has his own hidden agenda. In a world filled with deceit and betrayal, Yu Lixue must decide: will she risk trusting her husband, or will she forge her own path to reclaim what’s hers, no matter the cost? Excerpt: Lixue stared down at the steaming bowl of soup on the table, blinking in surprise. Mo Ran placed it before her with a steady hand, his usual calm expression softened just slightly by a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. She tried to catch his gaze, but he’d already turned away, busying himself with the teapot. “Why are you…?” she murmured, glancing between the bowl and him, her voice trailing off. He looked up, meeting her eyes with a hint of amusement. “Why am I what?” She fumbled for words, her cheeks warming. “Why are you…being so nice to me?” A small smile played on his lips, barely there but just enough to leave her heart fluttering. “Is it so strange for a husband to be kind to his wife?” She opened her mouth to reply, but nothing came out. The Mo Ran she remembered from her past life had been as cold as winter, never sparing her a second glance. This new version of him, warm and considerate, left her feeling…confused. “Eat,” he said, his voice soft. “You didn’t eat much at breakfast.” She nodded, taking the spoon with a slight tremor in her fingers. The soup was rich, comforting—something she would have loved as a child. The warmth of it melted away a part of her guardedness, leaving her strangely vulnerable. As she set down her spoon, she glanced at him again, still puzzled. “What’s gotten into you, Mo Ran?” “…” “Let’s just say I want to spoil you my darling..” Extra tags: #Rebirth#FaceSlapping #SchemingSister #ColdHusbandTurnedSweet#EnemiesToLovers#IllegitimateDaughter

The Godborn Rises The world believes Richard died a hero, and a memorial is built in Onitch, honoring him as the Superhero Dad. But Beatrice knows the truth—that one day, whatever took Richard will return for Vincent. As Vincent grows, so do his unnatural abilities: the power to see through deception, hear whispers of the divine, and summon forces unknown to men. By his eighteenth birthday, he stands before his father’s memorial and vows: "I will find you, Father. And I will destroy those who took you." The ground trembles, the winds roar, and power surges through his veins. And so begins the legend of Vince Ikeng, the Godborn—a child of both mortal and divine, destined to shake the heavens.
