Hound Kickstarter

This is a world ruled by law, where exotic objects from the heavens descend. The law of every individual, of every country, governs the workings of the world. When these laws collide, they birth— Darkness, war, witchcraft, flame, faith, heroes and evil, polities and churches, gods and deformities, fairytales and nightmares. Why can a flint elicit the loyalty of three massive hounds? How can a flame determine the rise and fall of a nation? Why can a mirror discern the good and evil within a person's heart? How can a farmer slay a dragon, and a destitute wanderer become a king in a single bound? Ivita came to this world, he has been here, he has travelled, he has conquered, and in the end, he will transform his thoughts and insights into a new Law to rule this vast land.

Sein’s new life began in a world brimming with supernatural wonders and endless possibilities. Determined to live as a good man, he vowed to make a name for himself, one rooted in heroism and justice.

Confident that this was his golden ticket to greatness, Sein imagined himself punching evil gods, defeating devils, and becoming a celebrated figure of righteousness. But his dreams came crashing down when he saw the name of the system: "The Evil God Breeder." With trembling hands, Sein opened the evolution chart for his pets. His initial hope quickly turned to horror: [Dark Dog → Temporal Hound → … → Lord of Tindalos hounds, Mh'ithrha ] Looking at the monstrous forms his seemingly innocent pets had become, Sein's thoughts froze. "It's over," he muttered to himself.

{Check out my new novel, Misunderstood Villain: Heroines Mourn My Death} 'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero.

You are now able to Tame the Shadow Fang Hound with Dominance! You are now able to Tame the Brinewolf with Dominance! You are now able to Tame the Lightning Dragon with Soul-Synchronization! You have became the Hunter of the Abyss. Time to face the darkest part of the Dungeon. --- After drowning in a river while drunk, I suddenly wake up inside a Dungeon, surrounded by a complex ecosystem of magical and fantastical Beasts. Barely surviving an encounter with a massive black dog infused with Shadow energy, I manage to tame him thanks to a special skill in my eyes that can make me see few seconds in the future and see a Beast's weakness and stats. Making him my first companion in this strange, new world. I never imagined my life here would start like this. In this world, Dungeons are alive, creating magical Beasts that can be either helpful or dangerously destructive. My journey only becomes more intriguing when I cross paths with three adventurers—each a skilled Beast Tamer, with their own distinct personalities, talents, and mysterious backstories. Together, we embark on a shared adventure through perilous Dungeons and unknown lands, facing everything from cunning bandits to mythical creatures with powerful abilities. As we delve deeper into these magical realms, we uncover hidden secrets about the origin of Dungeons and the forces driving them. Along the way, I tame creatures with unique powers (some of them can even manipulating time and space - that's crazy!) , face off against rival Tamers (of course) , and even discover abilities that hint at my own unexpected connection to this world. It turns out, my Transmigration was not just some random luck. But with each victory, new threats coming my fucking way. More powerful Beasts, more powerful rival adventurers who determined to claim the rarest Dungeons, and whispers of a dark force that threatens not just us but the entire world. Little do I know, taming Beasts is only the beginning; a greater destiny awaits me further down the story. A test that will test my loyalty, courage, and the bond I share with the creatures that fight by my side. This is just the start of a journey through this uncharted fantasy lands, legendary Dungeons, and encounters with both friends and enemies. --- This story will be slow paced at the start. But will get better further. Give it a try. This story also included Harem, cause why not. :)

As war ravages the steppe of the East, a Priestess hounded from her home, and her companion who never had one, follow a trail of fire and cinders left behind by a creature borne of the blood and fire which covers the steppe, more distant from life than from death. If they falter then the entire steppe may be set ablaze and reduced to ash before any may sit upon its throne.

Narrated by yours truly, Serpentine. Alright, listen up, fellow fourth-wall enthusiasts and meta-maniacs, because this isn't just any story—this is the story. A story of grit, chaos, betrayal, revolution, and crowdfunding. This is the tale of a once-mighty (and devilishly handsome) Ascended Demon – you guessed it, me – who dared to defy the universe itself to create something greater than Fate: an anime. Now, you might be wondering, “But Serpentine, aren’t you supposed to be a rogue cosmic entity tangled up in an interdimensional tournament orchestrated by the Primordials to achieve universal balance?” To which I’d say, “Yes. But have you seen the budget Primordials allocate to logistics? Absolutely criminal. Somebody had to step in and make sure the real priorities – like making a quality Wheel of Faith anime animated by Ufotable – got the attention they deserved.” The Kickstarter Chronicles isn’t just a book. It’s a revolution. It’s a declaration. It’s a movement (patent pending). Over 200 chaotic, hilarious, and occasionally heartfelt chapters, I’ll be gathering allies, facing impossible odds, and navigating the wild world of interdimensional politics. And all the while, I’ll be rallying you – yes, you, reader! –to support The Wheel of Faith campaign, the very foundation of this sprawling, multiverse-spanning saga. Want to meet canon characters from every corner of the Wheel? They're here. Want to see fan-submitted fighters duke it out with insane powers? Possibly. Want to join the chaos yourself? Well, you can! Every like, share, and dollar raised adds fuel to this cosmic fire. And if you're broke? No sweat. Spread the word. Join the Discord. Become part of the legacy. This isn’t just a book you read. It’s a campaign you live. It’s about all of us coming together to build something extraordinary – while I dodge death beams, manage questionable alliances, and try not to completely unravel the fabric of the multiverse. Again. And don’t worry. No spoilers here. But let’s just say, by the end of this story, you’ll be (hopefully) laughing, crying, and maybe even reaching for your wallet. So what are you waiting for? Join the Wheel of Faith campaign today! --- Oh hey, I'm on Royal Road now. Follow [The Serpentine] on Royal Road for more!
