Edgar Allan Poe Gothic

Magnus Caffeine wasn’t always the Demon King. One day, he just woke up in a dark, gothic castle, surrounded by kneeling demons, with a cup of suspiciously bitter tea in his hand. Apparently, he’s in another world now—one with dragons, magic, and absolute chaos. But honestly? He’s not interested in world domination. He just wants to chill. Unfortunately, being an all-powerful Demon King comes with responsibilities, annoying subordinates, and heroic idiots who won’t leave him alone. Between dodging war declarations and dealing with demons who expect him to be some ruthless tyrant, Magnus has one simple goal: Drinking tea and lazing around. But with old memories creeping in, mysterious voices in his head, and an entire world expecting him to be either their savior or destroyer… will he really get to enjoy his coffee break? ----------------------- This Novel is written with the help of chat Gpt and my idea. it is solely for people to enjoy.

Alexander Faversham is England’s foremost champion of derring-do, but his legend is built on sand. Loyal-to-a-fault manservant Bill might know more about his master’s heroics than either are letting on. When the nameless book is stolen, Bill’s entanglement threatens to bring his carefully constructed façade crashing down. There’s something nasty lurking in the shadows and it wants its book back.

His name was purged from the records of the Tang Clan of Sichuan. He, who is no longer a member of their house despite being of their blood still, was denied the very right to live, to be free, and even to have a peaceful death. But as suffering led to a painful death, he had a meeting with fate and the fangs of a vampire. ----------- Author Tags: Action, Adventure, Supernatural, Martial Arts, Drama, Politics, Romantic Subplot ----------- Story Notes:- - This work is inspired by Korean Wuxia fictions and takes on the political intrigue of "Game of Thrones" and the Vampire mechanics from the game "V-Rising". - It follows Valen (Tang Seong), a member of the Tang Clan, whose mother was discovered to be unfaithful to her husband and he wasn't his father's son. His life took a nosedive as he was made into a slave and got badly abused, and in the matter of three days, he was discarded off in a river the same way his mother was executed. However, he lived long enough to drift into a secluded cave where an old vampire from outside the Central Plains was sealed in a Gothic Mirror. - The Vampire takes him as his servant and named him Valen, transforming him into a Nosferatu with the sole goal of resurrecting his master by finding him a suitable vessel. This starts with Valen becoming a monster in skin with a human at heart. This is not a story of revenge as much as it is a story of survival and finding one's self even after becoming a monster that the world can't tolerate.

As I sit down to describe my book, "The General's Promise", a surge of excitement and anticipation has overcome me. This story has been brewing in my mind for quite some time, and I'm eager to share it with readers. Within this historical romance, I introduce the readers to General Xiao Hong, a brilliant and fearless warrior respected and admired by his peers. After one vicious battle, though, Xiao Hong fakes a crippling injury for cover from his enemies and protection of his life. As Xiao Hong navigates through the intricacies of court life, he is summoned by the Emperor to marry Mei Xing, a daughter of a humble duke, sweet and kind as anyone would want in a wife. I have to confess, I have fallen in love with the character of Mei Xing while writing her; for indeed, she stands out to be the true innocent, her heart fully made of love and compassion. The more Xiao Hong is with Mei Xing, the heavier his heart weighs down, being enchanted by her beauty and charm. He must also keep his real identity concealed from those who would destroy him. Will he find a balance for his duty as a warrior with this new love, or will his secrets tear them apart? I hope my readers will accompany me on the journey of learning about the convolutions of honor, loyalty, and love that existed in ancient China. "The General's Promise" is an appealing historical romance that I have shared with great pride to audiences worldwide.

Alistair Lockwood is a man of reason. A seasoned investigator specializing in missing persons, he prides himself on his ability to uncover the truth, no matter how deeply it is buried. But when he is called to investigate the disappearance of Lord Edgar Whitmore a reclusive aristocrat with a penchant for the occult, his world begins to unravel. Locked inside Whitmore’s study, Alistair finds more than mere evidence of a missing nobleman. Cryptic writings scrawl across parchment in languages that should not exist. Sketches of impossible geometry twist and shift when he looks away. As he delves deeper, Alistair awakens something ancient, something vast. A voice stirs at the edges of his thoughts, neither malicious nor kind, simply performing its function. A system offering knowledge beyond human understanding, skills that bend the very fabric of reality. But with every answer, the world around him grows stranger. Time slips. Faces change. The air itself hums with something unseen. The more he learns, the more the world distorts, revealing truths no man was meant to know. He is no longer just an investigator; he is a witness, a participant in something far greater than himself. But there is no turning back. Because the deeper he goes, the more he might come to understand that maybe Lord Whitmore did not simply disappear. Maybe he escaped….and Alistair may soon wish he had done the same.

"But this feels real," She whispered. Curiosity got the best of her as she went around the coffin, luckily, it wasn't locked. She took a deep breath before pulling it open. "Jesus Christ!" Rose exclaimed, putting her hand over her chest as she breathed hard. She stood frozen beside the coffin, staring at a young man with the most beautiful face she'd ever seen, lying still and comfortably inside the coffin. Was he dead? He looked so pale like he was dead and yet so beautiful to be called dead. Talk about gothic beauty. Rose knew she should be running for her life at that moment, but she felt something drawing her closer to the man in the coffin, she flashed her light closer to his face as she reached her hand down and placed it right under his nose to check if he was still breathing. No air, his nose bridge was cold as ice too. Rose was still busy staring at the man's face when she felt something very icy touch her arm, she felt her heart drop to her stomach as she slowly turned her head to look at her arm, that's when she saw the white, slim, masculine fingers wrapped tightly around her wrist. Her soul left her and her heart completely stopped beating, before starting to beat like a parade band in her chest. "Hail fucking Mary!" Rose whispered in a frightened tone, her lips quivered and her eyes widened unnaturally. She felt her legs become paralyzed from fear and unable to move or run. She dared to fearfully turn around and look at the man's face again, just to find his blood-colored eyes, staring icily at her. She was about to scream when the young man suddenly pulled her into his coffin with incredible speed, and the last thing she remembered was feeling how cold his body was before she felt an unnatural sleep overtake her. *** Rose Thiago was an ordinary human girl who loved reading dark fantasies but never believed in them.

The world is teetering on the edge of chaos, with powerful steam-driven empires, secret societies, and supernatural horrors vying for control. Protagonist: Lucien "Drake" Graves, a daring, quick-witted rogue with a talent for improvisation, thievery, and smooth talking. He captains the Storm Reaper, a half-wrecked but extremely fast airship, and takes on dangerous jobs to survive.

She thinks Lucien is the perfect test subject—and maybe more. 5. The Noblewoman-Turned-Thief (Marion Sinclair) – A former high-society lady turned skilled rogue. She’s charming, sophisticated, and always one step ahead. 6. The Gothic Automaton (Clockwork Victoria) – A sentient mechanical woman with a tragic past. She struggles with emotions but feels a strange connection to Lucien. Plot: Lucien stumbles upon a forbidden artifact—an eerie, pulsating crystal heart that whispers dark secrets. This artifact holds the key to a long-buried conspiracy, an ancient war between humanity and an unseen horror lurking beneath the earth. As factions clash, monsters awaken, and betrayals unfold, Lucien must navigate a world of airship battles, deadly duels, mechanical horrors, and seductive encounters while keeping himself (and his increasingly jealous harem) alive. Meanwhile, a secret cult—known as The Crimson Hand—is hunting him, believing he is the "Chosen One" meant to either save the world or destroy it. And worst of all, some of his lovers might be hiding their own agendas…

--WSA 2025 ENTRY-- The world doesn’t care about the weak. Eryn learned that young. No strength, no talent, no future. Just another forgotten face, another name swallowed by the crowd. Until the Illusionist System found him. It didn’t make him a god. He couldn’t crush mountains or lead armies. It gave him lies—fragile, dangerous lies. Illusions that turned nothing into something, weakness into strength, and truth into whatever he needed it to be. But lies are sharp things, cutting deep, even the one who wields them. Eryn’s lies bought him time, made him cunning, made him dangerous. They shaped him into someone the world couldn’t ignore. But every lie tangled the truth tighter. Kings watched him. Warriors hunted him. Gods measured him. And the system? Its secrets ran darker than he’d ever imagined. This isn’t about heroes or villains. It’s about survival. About a man with nothing who clawed his way out of the shadows. About lies sharp enough to topple kingdoms and truths heavy enough to crush a man. When the lies unravel, what’s left of him? My Skills Are a Lie: The Illusionist System is a story of ambition and survival, where illusions blur into reality, and every victory demands a price. A raw, unflinching tale for those who dare to see the truth hidden behind the lies.
