Title: The Chronicles of Eryndor: The Kingdoms of Ash and Light Summary: In the mystical land of Eryndor, ancient magic flows through the veins of royalty and nobles alike. The land is divided into three powerful kingdoms—Ashenfall, Luminara, and Eldrith—each ruled by a royal family bound to an ancient pact that keeps peace and order. However, beneath the surface of diplomacy and grandeur, a web of betrayal, power struggles, and dark secrets threatens to unravel the delicate balance between the kingdoms. The story follows multiple noble families, each vying for power, as they navigate alliances, feuds, and forbidden magic. Princess Celeste of Luminara, the heir to the Light Throne, discovers her unique magical abilities, which could either save or doom her kingdom. Prince Ryland of Ashenfall, a charming yet ruthless strategist, seeks to expand his kingdom's influence but finds his path blocked by a mysterious prophecy. Meanwhile, Lady Vespera of Eldrith uncovers a dangerous conspiracy within her family, and a secret that could alter the fate of all the kingdoms. As love, loyalty, and betrayal clash, each noble must choose their path—whether to embrace destiny or forge their own fate in a world where magic is as dangerous as it is powerful. The series delves into the complexities of power, family, and the sacrifices required to rule in a world where every decision could be a matter of life or death. Rich with political intrigue, magic, and deep-rooted traditions, The Chronicles of Eryndor invites readers into a world where nobility is tested, and the line between right and wrong is often blurred.

Celeste Everhart (18) never expected a second chance—to reclaim her voice, and her fate, and uncover the truths that remained buried in her first life. Once an unwanted heiress sacrificed to the secretive and ruthless Brightwell family, Celeste forced herself to become something she could never imagined herself to be. A shark. Celeste saw a glimpse of what was hidden in the shadows at night and had failed to take her place in the Brightwell family. Or rather they had failed her. With the weight of her past life’s memories, Celeste knows what she would do differently… or so she believes. Yet, the more she navigates through these familiar yet treacherous waters, the more she discovers just how little she truly understands. And in this life, three men from her past emerge in ways she could never have foreseen: Avond Brightwell (28) the man she once loved so deeply that he became her voice and her world. But as hidden layers reveal themselves, Celeste begins to wonder—was Avond the man she thought he was? Or is he something far more dangerous? Tiel Brightwell (22) the one who once despised her, mocked her silence, and later fathered her only child. Now, he seems capable of kindness and perhaps even love, but Celeste can’t forget the pain he caused. Will she forgive him, or will she let go of who she was to destroy him? Even when he had not committed the crimes he committed in the past? Gen Callisto (23) the shadow from her sister’s stories, is a self-made millionaire with a tragedy looming in his future. Drawn to him in unexpected ways, Celeste must decide if she can save him from the darkness, or let him perish with the rest. As Celeste battles between love, loyalty, and the desire for vengeance, she faces a final question: will she remain the person she was before and let her new life take its course? Or will she let the hurt of her past turn her heart cold? After all, what better vengeance than to come back with the heart of a shark? -------- Disclaimer: The story begins with Celeste's first life— so please stay tuned because it will be worth it!

Kai, an unmotivated Otaku, spends his days and nights lost in the world of anime, barely connecting with reality. His latest obsession, Eldren’s Wrath, is a dark fantasy series that explores themes of power, loyalty, and sacrifice in a world of fearsome creatures and relentless warriors. One fateful night, he dies unexpectedly while halfway through the series, only to awaken in its universe—reincarnated as a lowly, unremarkable NPC merchant in a rugged, hostile village on the outskirts of civilization. It doesn’t take long for Kai to realize he’s hopelessly out of place. Surrounded by adventurers, knights, and monsters straight from Eldren’s Wrath, he knows his days are numbered unless he finds a way to gain strength quickly. Just when despair sets in, a mysterious System activates, presenting him with a harsh ultimatum: level up every day or face relentless penalties.

As his abilities grow, so do his responsibilities, ultimately pushing Kai to confront his deepest fears, forge alliances, and embrace his role in a world he once dismissed as fantasy. Now, his lazy days are behind him as he battles for survival, allies, and the ultimate prize: a way back home. But will he still want to return when the time comes, or will he find a reason to stay in this world he once admired from afar?

Prefácio Em 1908 um corpo celeste desceu sobre o céu da Sibéria numa incrível velocidade. Mas antes de se chocar no solo, explodiu em pleno ar destruindo 80 milhões de árvores da floresta de Tunguska, dispersando sua composição misteriosa por toda região.

Mas no momento toda a informação que o homo sapiens tem é que: O reino animal foi vencido. O reino vegetal foi transformado. O reino mineral virou munição. E o Quarto Reino iniciado. Afinal agora há.... Dragões voadores entre nós.

Thanks to the leaps in AI, game companies have found it easier to generate fantasy worlds based on a template. This is especially true for Deep Dive Massive Multiplayer Roleplaying Games, where the sensory experience of the users needs to be coded. As a developer, Jasper has found himself with the thankless task of fixing all the bugs that inevitably pop up. To make this task more enjoyable, he has developed his own little game where he takes on divine power, and he has invited his wife, Celeste, along. The primary problem is that they need to finish before the deadline, and they can only play during weekends, however with a 5 to 60 time difference, they get just about 7-9 days to change things up, before the world generates another 100 years of progress. I have now reached a point where I feel like the story has been much more solidified and I have gotten a lot of great feedback through the comments. As such, instead of two chapters every week, I will be publishing a single chapter and go back and do a rewrite of a previous chapter as well. Nothing major, just grammatical errors and the like. A story inspired by the RPG system Godbound, available on drivethrurpg for free! Thank you to ellen_s_artworks for the art.

In the millennia that passed since Kaizer's disappearance, Sanguine City underwent a remarkable transformation into a technological marvel fueled by Blood Technology. Kaizer's memory faded into obscurity, forgotten by Vampire Society. The populace of New Sanguine City, now dominated in numbers by Ascended Vampires, and ruled by the original Noble Vampires, saw unprecedented power and prosperity through the transformative capabilities of Blood Tech. Humans, once prey, now live within a secure compound, leading relatively ordinary lives during daylight hours as essential members of the city's workforce. In the sequel to "Shadows of Sanguine," the Vampire princess Darcia embarks on a perilous journey haunted by a Curse, a consequence of her grief over the loss of Kaizer, the Lost Child of Nocturnastra.

Her power wanes, and the only hope for salvation lies in reuniting with her lost love. As Darcia navigates the streets and alleys of New Sanguine City, she seeks to uncover the truth behind Blood Technology, for she finds it peculiar how the advent of Blood Tech severed the traditional link between Vampires and their primal need for Human blood, and it came almost right after Kaizer's disappearance.

Leading the "Kaizer Project", she grapples with immediate challenges in New Sanguine City while contending with cosmic forces that threaten chaos against Sanguine and the Overworld as well. Amidst the struggle for truth and the quest for Kaizer, the characters navigate a perilous landscape of Vampires, prophecies, and the supernatural, facing an uncertain future. With her fate entwined with Kaizer's, Darcia faces a race against time, battling not only the formidable challenges of the Vampire hierarchy but also the debilitating effects of her Curse. Can she overcome the shadows of her past, break the Curse, and reunite with Kaizer to alter the destiny of Sanguine forever?
