The Stand Steven King

The Last Stand: The Fool and the Regressor

The apocalypse is here, and it’s so overdone. Monsters? Check. Burning sky? Check. Random system that gives you powers but also wants your firstborn? Double check. In the middle of this mess are two guys who couldn’t be more mismatched if they tried: The Fool: A guy who’s spent his life perfecting the art of doing nothing. His resume includes “professional procrastinator”, “class clown”, “expert nap taker”, etc... Now he’s got to survive an apocalypse that didn’t even give him a heads-up. How rude. The Regressor: A guy who’s lived through the end of the world more times than he can count. Literally. Because he forgot. Now he’s just a brooding mess with a leather jacket and zero useful advice. When the fool realizes his classmate is a regressor, he’s like, “Great. I’m stuck with the guy who’s seen it all but remembers none of it. This’ll go well.” Yet, they will still group up and face trials that test their sanity more than their skills. But as the so-called End demands more blood and the regressor’s memories start to resurface, they realize the real apocalypse might be their inability to agree on where to hide. Fool: "Let’s hide in the basement!" Regressor: "Basements are death traps. We should go to the roof." Fool: "Roofs are for dramatic exits. I’m not dying for aesthetics!" Anyway, can a lazy dreamer and an amnesiac hero save the world? Probably not. But hey, at least they’ll have a good story to tell—if they survive. ________ __ Please note that this story is a work of fiction and a product of the author's imagination.

The World’s King Slayer

Deep in the Void a universe called the Dream Universe made up of planets called the Realms. A place where all those who cultivate and who strive to ascend into Cosmic God status is the goal. Here the Dream Universe is governed by a Cosmic being known simply as the World. The World crowns kings to rule and chooses only those with the potential to join the Primordial regime. Every hundred years each who are crowned are given something called the King's Test. Since the World does not personally take part in this test they summon a champion from the Realms with the same potentials as the Kings. They are King Slayer warriors with strong power and skill chosen to either die showing a king's potential, or kill the king to make way for a new one. This particular test is different. This is an eradication of King's who have abused power and caused strife among the realms erupting into a civil war. The newest King Slayer is one who is not only powerful, but carries a Thread of Necessity with a destiny to bring great change to the Realms. All the World wants is for the wicked Kings to fall and clean the slate. The King Slayer wants power and freedom. But both don’t realize how different this Test will be. Author Note: First volume I throw you into the story. I wrote it where it builds and the world around it builds as it goes along. You learn the back story of the Slayer in volume 2. I wanted to stand out and immerse you into the world I’m creating.

A world filled with swords, magic, and a kingdom embroiled in war. Immediately upon arrival, the class is asked to help a Human Kingdom win the ongoing war against a Demon King's forces. Only once victory is secured would it be possible for them to return home. Not all were swayed by the Kingdom's desperate pleas, however. Christopher Monty, a lifelong skeptic and skilled academic, wanted out before he was dragged into someone else’s mess. Disdaining his gullible former classmates, he began laying plans to escape and live out the rest of his days in this new world on his own terms.

The Ludus King

In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.

The Arcane King

In a world where magic is the cornerstone of power and society, Kael, a humble apprentice, struggles to find his place amidst the rigid hierarchies of noble families and their arcane schools. But when his small village falls under attack by rogue mages, Kael’s latent powers awaken in a spectacular—and dangerous—fashion. Marked by destiny and wielding an ancient relic, the Crown of Arcana, he is thrust into the heart of a prophecy foretelling the rise of the Arcane King. Hunted by inquisitors and feared by noble factions, Kael embarks on a harrowing journey of discovery, gathering allies as varied as a cunning thief with a secret past, a disgraced knight searching for redemption, and a mysterious mage with ties to the prophecy. Together, they uncover the shadowy force behind the instability in their world: the Veil, an ancient organization intent on enslaving magic itself. As Kael’s power grows, so does the weight of his responsibility. Leading a rebellion against a corrupt magical order, he must navigate betrayal, loss, and the Crown’s dark influence. With every battle fought and alliance forged, Kael inches closer to fulfilling his destiny—but at what cost? As the final confrontation looms, Kael must confront not only his enemies but also the darker truths about his powers, the prophecy, and the sacrifices required to forge a new era. Will he emerge as the savior the world needs, or will he be consumed by the very magic he seeks to master? The Arcane King is an epic tale of power, destiny, and sacrifice, weaving intricate magic systems, complex characters, and breathtaking battles into a saga that will leave readers spellbound.
