Count Dracula

Hide-and-Seek

(“This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidents are either the product of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.”) Deep in the heart of the dense forest, a group of children gathered for a game of hide-and-seek. Little did they know that this seemingly innocent game would soon take a sinister turn. The sun began to set, casting long shadows across the forest floor, and an eerie silence settled in the air. The children selected one of their own, a timid girl named Emily, to be the seeker. With a nervous smile, she closed her eyes and began counting, her voice echoing through the trees. As the seconds ticked by, the remaining children scattered into the darkness, seeking out the perfect hiding spots. Emily finished counting and opened her eyes, ready to find her playmates. But as she ventured further into the forest, a sense of foreboding gripped her. The once familiar surroundings seemed twisted and distorted, as if the very essence of the forest had turned against her. The trees, once tall and majestic, now appeared gnarled and twisted, their branches reaching out like skeletal arms. The moon's pale light filtered through the thick canopy, casting an otherworldly glow on the forest floor. An unsettling chill ran down Emily's spine, but she pressed on, determined to find her friends. "I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com”

The First Vampire: A Journey Into The Supernatural

The story began when Lucifer grew bored. This led him to decide to create a superior race to his father's, for his own entertainment. This race would surpass humans in every aspect, but there were still limitations to what he could achieve. For instance, he couldn't deceive the sun, a natural force belonging to his father, God. He desired a race that could outwit and behave like humans in order to deceive his father's masterpiece, but he couldn't create it in the same way as his father. Therefore, he opted for a shortcut - creating a disease known as vampirism. The main character becomes the first vampire, obtaining the blessing from Lucifer himself. In the year 646 A.D. in a small village in The Frankish Kingdom, a young albino girl named Carmilla lived in fear for her life. In those dark ages, her unique appearance meant almost certain death. Confined to the basement of her house, she had never seen the world beyond its walls. Her parents kept her in chains, showing her no love or kindness, except for her sister Anna, who was her only source of comfort and care. However, tragedy struck when fate cruelly took Anna away. Alone and desperate, Carmilla prayed for salvation, and in her darkest moment, an unexpected blessing came from the Seraphim Lucifer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In my novel, Carmilla will embark on a journey through different time periods, facing great dangers along the way. She may encounter historical figures such as Vlad The Impaler, visit the Lancaster duchess, and possibly even travel to Brazil. The story will be filled with numerous historical events, some of which will be altered while others may not occur at all. The supernatural world will be rich with a variety of folklore from real life, some of which I may create myself. Elements such as werewolves, sorcery, faith bearers, pagan gods, and more will be included. I draw inspiration from real world legends and events, and will also introduce some original creations of my own. Many of the vampire characters in the story will be influenced by existing vampire literature, such as Castlevania, Vampire: The Masquerade, Count Dracula, and others.

The Paradox of Crowns

Paradox of Crowns – Official Synopsis In the moment between death and oblivion, Cain Lethe awakens—not in Heaven, nor Hell, but in the hollow shell of another’s life. Now inhabiting the body of a gifted arcane student named Elian Durne, Cain finds himself in a world governed by twelve forgotten Crowns—ancient constructs that distort memory, bend reality, and unravel the self. These Crowns offer godlike power... at a devastating price. The first to call him is the Crown of Silence, a domain of truth, memory, and unspeakable knowledge. To wield it, Cain must complete impossible rites, survive identity-fracturing distortions, and solve the paradoxes written into the very fabric of the world. But he is not alone. In the labyrinthine halls of the Esoterium Lexica, secret factions war for forgotten names. Ancient entities whisper in languages never meant for mortals. And in the shadows, a child named Nyra—herself a living memory—remembers things that were meant to be erased. Cain’s journey will pit logic against madness, truth against oblivion, and identity against transcendence. The further he climbs the path of Silence, the more he realizes: The cost of power is not just memory... it’s meaning itself. Perfect for fans of Lord of the Mysteries, Reverend Insanity, and Mother of Learning, Paradox of Crowns is an occult isekai saga of psychological unraveling, forbidden power, and the war between forgotten truths and written fate.
