The Village Ascends

In a world torn by war and ruled by ruthless empires, Calen is just another nameless soul in a forgotten village—no wealth, no influence, and no one to rely on. Surviving day by day, he knows his fate is as insignificant as the dust beneath his feet. That is, until a mysterious stranger enters the village, triggering a chain of events that awakens something deep within Calen. With no training and no purpose, Calen’s life takes a dramatic turn when he discovers a latent talent for magic and combat, a power that seems to have always been a part of him. As whispers of his abilities spread, others seeking refuge from the chaos of war are drawn to him: a band of skilled warriors, a healer with a dark past, and a young mage with untested magic. Together, they forge a fragile alliance, each of them scarred by the brutality of the world around them. As Calen slowly grows in strength and wisdom, he must learn to lead a ragtag group of survivors and defend against the encroaching forces of an empire bent on domination. But the true battle lies not just in the war against outside enemies, but in overcoming the darkness within, as Calen struggles to understand the power he now wields—and whether it will corrupt or save him. The Village Ascends is a tale of survival, redemption, and the rise of an unlikely hero. In a world where trust is a rare commodity, can one broken man gather the strength to lead, and spark a rebellion that will change everything?

Bleed To The Very End - [A Grimdark Progression Fantasy]

Osias wanted nothing more than to… live. Was such a wish too audacious to desire? Were the blood-born destined to live such tragic tales? Why, why did it feel as though he was forced to either bleed himself or spill the blood of others to live? Enough… he had enough. A pair of blood-born brothers were all that was left from the fallen Band of the Red Sky. Detestable blood-borns, vile spawn who were to be eradicated off the face of the Wailing Chain. So the Three Factions put aside their feuds in order to slaughter them all. Yet Osias and Kiran still live despite this — they still move forward to escape, fight, and survive as they are pursued. Alone, these two ghosts of a dreadful Band of blood born that flooded the south in blood will bide their time as they carry on the Path of Blood, inheriting all that was entrusted to them. The Wailing Chain was theirs for the taking. The Three Factions will suffer for what they’ve done to them. Armies will spill enough blood to raise a sea in the wake of the brothers' resentment. But not yet. The world wouldn’t bleed until Osias and Kiran obtained the strength required to do so. ----------------- What to expect: • Blood Powers • Dark Fantasy-esque • Wars, Armies, Power Progression • No System • Cruel, Grim World (First Chapter is enough…) • Smidges of romance • Anti-Hero Prog (Spoiler - nears villain) *The world of BTTVE has A LOT of secrets and plans that are not made available to the reader upfront. Try to enjoy the path to the answers - there's going to be a lot that you don't understand at first because there's a lot Osias doesn't know about the new world he's in! Also sorry for the POV changes in the first few chapters… the setting calls for it, there isn’t much to the beginning if we read it entirely from a cripple’s perspective.

Emperor of the Heavens

In an ancient world where celestial beings, gods, and monsters coexist, the fate of the empire hangs in the balance. At the center of this empire stands Emperor Yao Zhen, a ruler with a grand ambition—to not only conquer the world but ascend to the heavens themselves. What makes him different from all other emperors is the mysterious system bestowed upon him, a divine gift that allows him to gain immense power by conquering realms, devouring the abilities of others, and evolving as he progresses. Yao Zhen, born into a weak imperial family, ascended to the throne under tragic circumstances. With no real strength of his own, he relied on the strange system that appeared to him one fateful night. The system, known as "Heaven's Path," provides him with quests, abilities, and challenges that increase in difficulty, but offer unimaginable rewards. As he conquers enemies and expands his domain, he unlocks powers far beyond mortal comprehension—powers that allow him to control not only the mortal realm but the very forces of nature, space, and time. As Yao Zhen’s ambition grows, he begins to confront powerful enemies—other emperors, legendary warriors, and divine beings who guard the gates to higher realms. Along his journey, he gathers a loyal band of allies, from the cunning General Mei Lian to the mystical seer, Li Rong. But, with every victory, new challenges emerge, and soon, Yao Zhen must decide: will he rule the world for eternity, or will his ambitions drag him into a battle against the heavens themselves?
