Nathaniel Hawthorne First Person

Samantha never expected to find magic in her hometown, let alone in a dimly lit bar on a rainy Tuesday night. Yet here she was, perched on a barstool at the Black Swan, her world about to tilt on its axis. The air thrummed with an otherworldly energy she couldn't quite place. Ethereal dancers moved like smoke across the floor, their bodies fluid and mesmerizing. As Samantha nursed her drink, she felt the weight of curious stares prickling her skin. That's when she saw him. Marcus. A name she didn't know yet, but one that would soon be etched into her very soul. Their eyes locked across the crowded room, and Samantha's breath caught in her throat. He moved with predatory grace, all lean muscle and barely restrained power. Their first interaction was as intoxicating as it was bewildering. One moment, he was her gallant protector, rescuing her from an overly aggressive drunk. The next, his eyes hardened to chips of ice as he snarled, "Stupid girl," before melting into the shadows. Samantha's mind reeled, but her body hummed with an excitement she couldn't explain. Little did she know, this encounter was merely the first step into a world beyond her wildest fantasies – a realm where vampires ruled the night and pain blurred exquisitely with pleasure. As she delved deeper into this hidden society, Samantha found herself drawn to the intoxicating blend of power, submission, and supernatural allure. The crack of a whip, the whisper of leather, the exquisite sting of fangs – each sensation pushed her boundaries and ignited desires she never knew existed. But with every ecstatic high came the sobering reality of danger. Vampire politics were as deadly as they were intricate, and Samantha soon realized she was a pawn in a game where the stakes were life, death, and eternal servitude. As she left the Black Swan that night, Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that she stood on the precipice of something life-changing. She had no idea how right she was, or how deeply she would fall into a passionate, dangerous dance with forces beyond her imagination. The real question was: in this world where pleasure and peril intertwined so intimately, would she emerge empowered... or lose herself completely?

Battling an unusual form of personality dissociation, Motan admits to feeling the weight of immense pressure bearing down on him. Amidst this turmoil, he finds solace in a virtual escape called "The Realm of Innocence," a game that has become his sanctuary from stress. In the realm where ambiguity reigns, Motan's behavior is unpredictable and impetuous, making him the instigator and mastermind behind myriad events that spiral out of control. Yet, within the sphere of virtue, his resilience and courage shine through, earning him the admiration of many who see him as the epitome of a righteous knight and a fair judge. When dwelling in the balance of absolute neutrality, he adopts a demeanor of modesty and lethargy, mirroring the ordinary essence of every soul. Conversely, in the domain of chaotic evil, he transforms into a figure of madness and cruelty, embodying the very essence of a demon and deceiver, showing kindness only to himself. "Tan Mo is the most extraordinary Bard I have ever encountered, though he is... perplexing, to say the least," comments Countess Leisha, reflecting on his complex nature. "Mor is a man of distinguished integrity! Having met him just once, I am convinced that he is someone one can confidently turn their back to," declares Gwen, the leader of the Rose Rot, acknowledging his noble character. "If you're in search of the ideal neighbor, look no further than Hei Fan," recommends Alchemist Luna, suggesting his suitability for companionship. Yet, amidst these varied testimonies, a warning resonates, "Don't talk about that man!" indicating a mysterious, perhaps darker aspect of his persona that remains unexplored.

The title pretty much says it all. This is the journal of Jane Brown. Each journal entry may be very short or very long. Entries may be close together or far apart. It depends on when and if Jane decides to or remembers to update her journal. If ever. Just like most of the non-diary or journal writer keepers out there - or uninspired authors. Yep. Warning: VERY SLOOOW updates. This is a story written on a whim. Let's see how long the inspiration will last for. This style of writing is somewhat experimental. Disclaimer: This is a work of FICTION and is not based on any one person. Any portrayal of real people or real events (excluding some major world events) is entirely accidental and coincidental. It is in not in any way, shape of form meant to be a commentary on anyone or anything, even less on current issues in society. This is literally meant to be boring (hence the ordinary title) without being too boring. It is just about the average slow paced life and interests of an average person. (Not meant for and not interested in contracting.)

What do you think might be the driving force behind society? Compassion? Greed? Selfishness? Whatever your answer is, it's irrelevant, because this story is not rooted in reality, but a Universe where the concept of defence is foreign and unheard of... to most, a place where the greatest and most powerful people in the world are literally the most physically powerful, where might makes right, and whoever has the stronger ability is the greater. Meelid is the world's biggest coward, riddled with insecurities, tantalising fears, and the likes, he struggles to survive in this accursedly aggressive society, until one day he is pushed too far and realises, 'hey, why don't I just try to get hurt...less?'.

"What Lengths would you go to have the power to shape your own path? What would you give up? How far would you go?" "I have gone far and given much to get where I am today. Maybe my story would help you to figure it out. Sit, Listen. This is the story of Cytar's First Lich."

Just something I made to keep track of some of my favourite essences & powers from fics. {with personal twists} *Image not mine* just felt fitting so added it, message before u complain or report.

As the title says, the story of the first mage who created necromancy, and other magics, during his long life.

Eren Kain was an ordinary engineer and inventor until the day the Tower of Trials appeared. A massive, otherworldly spire reaching into the heavens, the tower beckoned humanity with promises of power, wealth, and immortality—but also death. Unlike the others, Eren was forcibly bound to the Tower. No one else could enter until he began his climb, and he couldn’t leave unless he reached the top. Stripped of magic, aura, or any supernatural ability, Eren’s only advantage is his engineering genius and the technology he can smuggle in. From basic firearms to drones and exoskeletons, he uses every tool at his disposal to survive the monsters, traps, and bizarre ecosystems within the Tower. Yet even technology has its limits in a world governed by magic. As Eren climbs, he discovers the Tower isn’t just a trial but a puzzle. Its magic isn’t arbitrary—it’s systematic, a science he slowly learns to decode. However, one wrong calculation could kill him instantly, forcing him to balance experimentation with survival. He scavenges magic crystals, artifacts, and spell books, using them in crude, improvised ways to bolster his arsenal. Over time, he begins merging technology and magic, creating unique hybrid tools to overcome the increasingly insurmountable challenges. But why was Eren chosen? What secret does the Tower hold? With no escape and the weight of humanity’s fate on his shoulders, Eren must climb—not just to survive, but to unravel the truth of the Tower itself. every 50 collections I’ll give a chapter and every 20 powerstones I’ll give a chapter every 10 reviews I’ll give a chapter

Warning!! Please be aware that there will be incest in this story. Before the Elven goddess created her first elf, she created a guardian for them, a demi-god without a soul that possessed a single purpose: to protect the goddess' creation. He did so for eons, protecting them from mighty titans, fearsome dragons, greedy humans, and filthy goblins. He protected them until the war that led to his death and almost all of the races on the realm, where they waged war against the elves. He fought alone for twelve winters, which led to the deaths of billions of mortals and eventually his own. He welcomed his eternal sleep, but Elven goddess called for him once again. This is my first story that im writing for fun and english is not my first language so please be patient with me. I will try to write myself as much as possible while using AI to correct my grammar. I'm thinking of adding some other elves from games, like the Windrunner sisters from Warcraft, and anything other than my OG belongs to their own respective creator. Warning!! Please be aware that there will be incest and lots of gore and NO YURİ,NO NTR

Death. It began washing over the earth like a plague. The plague being the sudden appearance of powerful monsters, destroying cities and killing anyone that stood in their way. But when a young boy gets confronted by these monsters, he doesn’t run or feel an ounce of fear in the face of death. He wanted to die, he wished for it. His wish… Granted. But in death comes rebirth, a new opportunity. But very few that have died to the waves of monsters have been given the opportunity, the opportunity to reincarnate together to the ground zero of this multiversal disaster. To save that world and many worlds including their own. But the very same boy decides a new route for himself. A new route for a new life. One he would hope would be better than his last. Separating from the rest that reincarnates. Being the first to reincarnate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning AI is used to make the images as I can't draw whatsoever and I'm too broke to hire an artist. This novel does contain gore and smut, but hopefully, the R18 tag insinuates that. I'm writing this for fun and while I do check over my work there may be some writing or grammatical errors. Very Sorry. Please feel free to support me or my work and any comments or questions I will try my best to reply to. This is my first ever proper work and my first contracted work so I hope you enjoy it!
