Cracks

Prince Adrien of Eldwyn has spent his entire life being used — a political pawn, pretty and powerless, traded for alliances and kept in a golden cage. When his father announces his arranged marriage to Prince Kaelen of Umbra, Adrien knows this is no ordinary match. Kaelen is feared across kingdoms — a man whispered to be the son of a demon, cold and merciless, with blood that brings ruin. But nothing could prepare Adrien for the man he meets. Kaelen is beautiful, yes — but there’s something dangerous in his quiet strength, in the way his golden eyes watch Adrien like he’s something precious… or something breakable. Their marriage begins with distrust and tension, a battle of wills behind closed doors. And yet, as war looms and enemies circle, Adrien starts to see the cracks in Kaelen’s armor — the loneliness, the rage, and the terrifying power he struggles to control. When desire sparks between them, it’s a fire that threatens to consume them both. But the deeper Adrien falls, the more he realizes there are secrets in Kaelen’s blood… and loving him might just cost Adrien his soul. In a world of kings and demons, where love is dangerous and power even more so, Adrien must decide: is Kaelen the monster everyone fears — or the only man who can truly set him free?

Time is broken. And Alpha is the only one who can fix it. The day Alpha dies should have been the end. Instead, it’s the beginning. Caught in an endless loop of his own demise, he wakes to the same moment, the same choices, the same inevitable failure. Each time, the world shifts—small changes, subtle ripples—but the outcome remains the same. Something is watching. Something powerful. Something that should not exist. The Riftborn—creatures from beyond time itself—lurk in the cracks of reality, feeding on the chaos of his repeating fate. But as Alpha struggles to break free, he begins to unravel the deeper truth: he is not the first to be cursed, nor will he be the last. Somewhere in the echoes of history lies the secret to ending the cycle. A power older than magic itself. A force that bends time, not as a prison, but as a weapon. But power comes at a price. And if Alpha cannot master the curse, he won’t just lose himself to the loop. He’ll lose everything.

"Dark Monarch: Apocalypse World" — Tearing Apart the Cage of the Apocalypse, A Blood-Soaked Epic of a Cold-Blooded King "I don't want to die—I want to live." This is the cry of the protagonist, Dudian, and the struggle of millions of survivors in the apocalypse. Within the Great Walls, humanity rots. After 300 years in ice, the king returns. A meteor catastrophe ended the old civilization, forcing survivors to cower behind towering metal walls. A deadly virus ravages the land, monsters roam freely, and the twisted webs of power and faith strangle what remains of human morality. Dudian awakens from cryogenic sleep to face this ruined world—where humans hunt demonic beasts to gain "Mark of the Abyss" powers, where nobles and the Holy Church manipulate a hollow order, and where, beyond the walls, the undead and the schemes of the Dark Church silently spread. From genius to demon, every step he takes is drenched in blood. Once an ordinary man from the old world, Dudian is forged into a ruthless overlord through betrayal and despair. His first love dies imprisoned, framed for crimes she didn’t commit. His closest friend sells him out for profit. The woman he cherishes turns into a walking corpse, and he is powerless to save her... In the cracks between warring factions, he masters alchemy to forge weapons, tears apart lies with cunning, and carves his rebellion with an iron will—vowing to shatter the Great Walls and end this man-made doomsday experiment.

(俺たちの負け犬部は間違っている) High school is a pointless social experiment. At least, that’s what Kyouya Kanzaki believes. He has no interest in making friends, joining clubs, or pretending that these three years will matter in the long run. Unfortunately, his teacher has other plans. As punishment for his “anti-social attitude,” Kyouya is forced to join a forgotten club buried in the farthest corner of the school—The Club for Lost Causes. Its only member? Reina Asagiri—cold, sharp-tongued, and impossible to read. Its purpose? Supposedly to help students solve their personal problems. But as Kyouya reluctantly takes on request after request, he starts to realize something troubling: It’s not just other people’s problems that need solving. Between a popular girl hiding cracks behind her perfect smile, an old friend from his past, and a club president who seems to see right through him—Kyouya’s peaceful high school life is officially over. And maybe, just maybe, he was never meant to be alone in the first place.

**"Leave me alone! Please, just let me go!"** My voice cracked as I thrashed in his iron grip, but it was useless. He scooped me up effortlessly, his hold unyielding, carrying me off to a fate I couldn’t escape. This can’t be happening. Not now. Not like this. "I don’t want this," I whispered, my voice raw with terror. "Please… just let me go." My pleas barely reached his ears, or if they did, he didn’t care. His silence was louder than any threat, his indifference a dagger to my chest. A heartbeat later, my body hit the softness of a king-sized bed, but there was no comfort in it. My tears had nearly dried, leaving only silent sobs wracking my frame. I forced myself to speak, desperation lacing every syllable. "Luciano, please," I choked out. "If I’ve wronged you in any way, I’m sorry. But don’t punish me like this." A deafening crack split the air, and before I could react, fire exploded across my cheek. The force of the slap sent my head whipping to the side, my skin stinging from the brutal contact. The room pulsed with danger. **"No one calls me by my name,"** he growled, his voice like crushed glass—sharp, merciless. **"And no one tells me what to do."** His fingers curled under my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Cold, dark, and bottomless, his eyes held no mercy, no hesitation. "You will warm my bed," he murmured, his voice dangerously soft, laced with cruel intent. "You will satisfy my every craving, no matter how disastrous, no matter how dark." A wicked smirk ghosted over his lips, his grip tightening. "Because you are mine to break. And no one stops me." He leaned in, his breath fanning against my trembling lips. "Now… come here." --- Story by white pheonix

The world was never the same after that day. Humanity learned that they weren't alone in the universe, but that wasn't something they had the time to worry about. Their realization was accompanied by catastrophe. Creatures beyond their wildest imaginations poured down from the sky and appeared from the earth. They slaughtered humans as if it was their singular purpose, driving them to the brink of extinction. The people of the world did everything in their power, developing unique traits and technologies to create a united front their enemies couldn't penetrate. They secured victories and repopulated, feeling as if they stood a chance against the foreign invaders. They fought and they fought, doing everything they possibly could to ensure their survival. Until the Great Calamities appeared. In front of them, humanity was nothing regardless of its efforts. One by one, the worlds were turned into piles of rubble in between the cracks of their teeth. Civilization was torn apart, and the evolved humans living within could do nothing to stop its collapse. Humanity itself was left extinct, and in the end, only a single man was left alive amidst the chaos. Why? For what reason were they punished so? Nobody knew why the attacks began in the first place. He looked into the distance at the memories of the past and firmed his resolve. “It can only be me.” He knew of a miracle that could return him to the place of those memories. He knew of a way to make the wheels of time spin in reverse. And using it, he alone would save humanity from its doomed fate. That was his sacred duty as its final survivor. *** Discord: https://discord.gg/dgbw4RS4ec

A princess's duty is to be beautiful, quiet, not loud, to be seen and not to be heard, which was how Dahlia lived most of her life. Bound by the expectations of her title, she spent years trying to prove to her father that she was more than just a princess and capable of being more than an ornament in his court but each time she never got the chance. Instead, she was forced into a marriage of convenience with the bravest knight in all the kingdom, Reagan Hawthorne. Dahlia thought she would use this marriage to escape the brutal crutches of her father and glide out of her cage but Reagan’s cold disdain was an unexpected prison of its own. While he waged wars on distant lands, she stayed behind, holding his household together and protecting the people he seemed to ignore. But Dahlia carried a dangerous secret. By day, she was the perfect wife. By night, she became the "Black Knight," a masked vigilante fighting for justice in the shadows. Reagan returned, ready to focus on his personal mission: avenging his father’s death. To him, Dahlia was just another pawn in his plans—a spoiled princess he needed to tolerate. But as cracks began to form in her perfect façade, Reagan couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his wife than met the eye. Now, with enemies circling closer and their secrets threatening to collide, Dahlia and Reagan must confront the lies they’ve told themselves and each other. But when masks fall and truths are revealed, will their fragile bond withstand the storm—or will it shatter beyond repair? One wound. One secret. One night that changes everything.

The world is broken. Realms that were never meant to touch now bleed into one another, warping the land and twisting its survivors into something unrecognizable. Wars raged, gods fell, and the skies rained fire—but the true devastation came from what crept through the cracks. Beings of unfathomable hunger, remnants of dying realms, now stalk the ruins, each vying to claim this world as their own. Kael remembers the night the boundaries shattered. A meteor annihilated his town, but it was no mere rock—it was a herald of the convergence. Five years a slave, he wakes from nightmares of a black-crowned god and a child fed on divine blood, only to be "freed" by a masked stranger who calls him "disappointing" before vanishing. As they travel, they uncover fragments of the truth: the realms’ overlap was no accident. Someone—or something—orchestrated it, and the key to severing the convergence lies in the very ritual that haunts Kael’s dreams. But with every step, the boundaries weaken. In this world of crumbling sanity and predatory gods, Kael must decide: Will he fight to reclaim what’s left of his home, or embrace the power of the Hollow Dominion—and risk becoming the very thing he fears?

Centuries ago, the Forgotten Realm was sealed behind ancient magic, its dark truths buried beneath prophecy, ruin, and blood. But when cursed warrior Kael Thorne returns to the ruins of Veyr’hadal, drawn by visions and a blade that whispers, the seal begins to crack. Haunted by a past he barely remembers and a future written in shadow, Kael finds an unlikely ally in Seren Velora—a rogue with silver eyes and secrets of her own. Bound together by fate and survival, they descend into the forgotten depths, pursued by guardians of ash, hunted by factions who fear what lies beyond the gate, and stalked by something darker than legend. As the Gate of Thorns stirs and prophecy bleeds into reality, Kael and Seren must choose: confront the realm’s hidden horrors, or let the darkness devour their world from beneath. The shadows remember. And now, they’re calling.

Kaelen was born to serve—trained to obey, shaped to conquer. For fifteen years, he endured the Institution: a ruthless program buried within the Varean Empire, where children are molded into weapons through blood and discipline. But Kaelen is no ordinary student. He’s an experiment—crafted without a House, without an affinity, but with more raw power than any noble heir. Now, he’s done pretending to be a puppet. His escape isn’t just rebellion. It’s the spark of something greater. Beyond the Empire lies a world in ruins. Old powers sleep beneath its surface. Forgotten legacies rot in silence. And in the cracks of what remains, something greater stirs. And Kaelen intends to claim it.

E.Y.E.S. A pair of glasses that can rewrite the rules of reality. See the unseen. Open rifts between worlds. Unlock impossible powers. Sounds like a dream, right? For Krishna, it’s a nightmare. One wrong move—and now the whole damn world is after him. The life he knew? Gone. The truth? Darker than he ever imagined. Meanwhile, his brother Krish carries a deadly secret.

With Zen, a shady mentor disguised as a P.E. teacher, Krishna has to unravel the truth before a war between realities turns their world into dust. But they’re not the only ones after E.Y.E.S. There’s The Queen. Dr. Kenji. A secret organization that doesn’t just want it for teleportation— They want to turn it into a weapon of mass destruction. Now, as the walls between dimensions begin to crack, time is running out. Krishna has two choices: Master the power… or be consumed by it.

Beneath the sky, kingdoms rise and fall. Beneath the earth, no such fate exists—only chains, only suffering. Deep below Orinith’s golden spires, where the weight of stone and silence crushes all, a world festers in darkness. Here, names are stripped away, freedom is a myth, and the air itself is thick with despair. No one escapes. No one dares to dream. Yet, among the broken, something stirs. A boy, born into suffering. A secret, buried beneath blood and dust. A power, waiting to awaken. When the first crack forms in the unbreakable chains, the world above will tremble. But not all who rise from the depths seek salvation. Some carry the darkness with them. In the shadows of Orinith, a storm is coming. And when it breaks, nothing will remain the same.

Hundred years ago, Blue Star was a peaceful land. But suddenly, the sky cracked open, and from it, many hideous creatures came out. They didn't just stop after coming out of the rift, they began killing and devouring humans without care for gender, age, or even childrens. Seeing their own kind being devoured in front of them, humans felt fear and despair, thinking it was the end of the world. However, suddenly people began awakening strange powers within their bodies, and with that, they begin to fight back. After a hundred years of bloody battle, humans of Divine Beast Star finally gained a foothold in their homeland. They built small settlements to survive. Even so, they still lived in fear that one day they might be devoured again, as stronger demons continued to appear over time. In these conditions, Lu Shen, a young man from Earth, transmigrated to that world. At first, he felt happy and even cried at his good luck. But soon, he realized he was the unluckiest transmigrator, he had no special powers, no magic rings with old grandpa, not even a trashy system.............

In the forgotten shadows of a dying world, a boy named Kael clawed his way through ruin and ash, never knowing the stars themselves would one day bow to him. He rose. Higher than kings. Higher than gods. Until he became the sovereign of all things— The architect of the Omnigenesis, The master of perfect creation, The ruler of a multiverse without flaw. But even eternity cracks. From the fractures of Kael's own making, chaos spilled forth. Legends born from his discarded dreams. Rebels forged from his forgotten failures. Factions of madness, entropy, and rebellion now war for the shattered pieces of his crown. And as the Fractured Crown spirals into infinite war, Kael faces the question no god dares ask: Is eternal rule worth the death of wonder? Or is the end of everything the only true freedom left? In a saga of endless realities, impossible powers, and the war beyond infinity, only one truth remains: Legends never die. They only fracture.

So to begin, this is technically a skyrim fanfic. Why isn't it in the fan-fics then? Simple! It's based on a game and I don't feel that counts as a fan-fic. Second, I've read like a few skyrim stories here lately. I liked them, as a bethesda fan boy... Well, now I need to take a crack at it. I literally start a new game of skyrim every new year. Its my tradition, so I felt I had to do this. If its bad, ah well. If its good, GREAT! Overall though, I feel we need more skyrim based stories or fan-fics. It has the perfect setting for the transmigration genre. Now read at your own risk.

Through their wounds, Fran unravels truths-about the city's pulsating heart, her own sutured past, and why the stars above Norlington blink in hexagonal patterns.

Seik Yagami waited for the bus with his elbows resting on his knees and his gaze lost on the cracked ground. Under the artificial light, his skin appeared even paler, highlighting the exhaustion in his sunken eyes. That bus didn’t just transport him; it also chained him. It dragged him back every night to a suffocating routine: endless days in an office, without rest. He had multiple master’s degrees in psychology, business, and education, as well as years of karate training. And yet, his life had been reduced to a cycle without purpose. Only when cultivating did he feel truly alive. The soil between his fingers, the scent of new leaves, the slow dance of growth. But that was out of his reach. Or, perhaps, he had convinced himself that it was. He sighed and clicked his tongue.

For centuries, Orthus Valen, the greatest magic user in history, has been trapped inside Velkaroth Academy, the very institution he once helped build.

With a flick of his fingers, he brings humans from Earth into his world, turning them into his students. Some are geniuses, others are clueless fools, but one thing is clear—they are the key to his freedom. As the students grow stronger, so do the cracks in his curse. However, Velkaroth Academy is not just a school—it is a prison built to contain a being feared by the gods themselves. And if Orthus ever regains his full power, the world will shake once more.

In Mochorome, there is a man with peas in his face. He walks around aimlessly, and talks to those he knows, those he doesn't. He explores the perfect world he lives in, which houses no cracks, bruises, mold, or damage.
