Zealot

The sun is dead. A black wound festers in the sky where it once burned. But even in death, the Coffin Sun bleeds—shedding searing fragments that fall through the stratosphere like divine shrapnel. When they strike earth, they rewrite the laws of flesh, mind, and memory. Touch one, and you're no longer yourself. You’re possessed by the light. Sixteen-year-old Tharin Wraec touched one. It didn’t kill him. It unmade him, then forged something worse. Now, his shadow walks beside him—alive, radiant, wrathful. A spectral twin of golden fire that moves when he doesn’t, speaks when he won’t, kills when he can’t. Together, they are hunted by zealots, dissected in dreams by suns that scream, and worshipped by the broken as a messiah of ash. Every step they take peels away another layer of the world. Time warps. Cities melt into myth. The old sun whispers behind reality’s veil, and it wants him back. His body is failing. His mind frays at the seams. But Tharin doesn’t want a cure. He wants vengeance. Because when the light touched him, it made a mistake. It left him alive.

In the sun-scorched wastelands beyond the Seraphic Theocracy, the exiled struggle to survive. Among them is Silver, an orphan boy born into a world where Apostle blood was used as fuel and the gods turning their backs on him. Branded as one of the ‘Godless,’ he and his sister, Mira, a hardened mercenary, fight to carve out a future in a land where only the ruthless endure. But when Mira returns from the frontier bearing fresh scars and a secret, Silver realizes that survival is no longer their only concern. Whispers of change ripple through the desert—the land shifts, the monsters grow restless, and ancient forces long thought buried begin to stir. Silver never believed in fate. But fate has chosen him. Hunted by zealots, mercenaries, knights, and things far more monstrous, Silver must unravel the mystery of his own existence before the world is swallowed by the storm on the horizon. With each step, the line between man and god, salvation and damnation, blurs. And as the sands run red, one question remains: Will he be the savior the world needs… or its final executioner?

Torn from immortality and cast into a fragile mortal shell, a once-feared warlord awakens in a decaying city ruled by crime syndicates and zealots. Though weak, he is not powerless—for he remembers the arcane Paths of Inscription and the art of Engraving refinement. A mysterious whisper calls to him, tempting him with the promise of restoration. But this time, he will not merely reclaim his former might—he will transcend it. From the shadows, through blood and schemes, he will carve his name into the very fabric of reality. ‎ ‎The cycle turns once more. The tyrant shall rise again.

1. Uniqueness and Appeal of the Story (Condensed) 1. Worldbuilding: Historical Grit Meets Supernatural Spectacle Setting: 1930s America/Europe: Blends Great Depression realities (NYC soup kitchens, corrupt Wall Street alchemists) with occult threats. Nazi "Lebensborn" experiments resurrect through cursed artifacts, while vampire clans like Sanctum Sanguinis manipulate London's underworld. Core Innovation: Merges noir detective drama, Lovecraftian cosmic horror, and vampire political epics into a cohesive "dark fantasy" universe. Protagonist Wayne navigates gangster-ruled streets and eldritch rituals with equal pragmatism. 2. Plot Architecture: Layered Mysteries & Explosive Payoffs Opening Hook: A seemingly routine infidelity case unravels into a cult conspiracy marked by glowing cat eyes and radioactive mushroom-induced visions. The mundane detective office becomes a gateway to hidden wars. Key Conflicts: Personal: Wayne’s quest to find his sister Gwen—a victim of 1935 Nazi experiments—while battling his own physical decay (corpse-like stench, stopped pocket watch). Supernatural: Vampire dynasties, hellish legions, and secret societies (Mirror Sect) clash over the "Living Grail," a sentient artifact granting control over reality. Historical: Nazi occultists infiltrate America using gold-skull rituals; Federal Reserve corruption fuels supernatural arms races. Climactic Sequences: Holy Grail War: Wayne’s ragtag Vowbound Cross faction battles vampire hordes in London, with alchemically enhanced revolvers firing self-guided silver bullets. Leviathan Rising: A kaiju-like beast emerges from Liverpool’s waters, countered by undead dragons and Vatican light magic. Twist Ending: Gwen is revealed as a Nazi-made proto-vampire, forcing Wayne to sacrifice himself as a vessel to seal an elder god—leaving moral ambiguity lingering. 3. Characters: Moral Complexity & Jarring Contrasts Wayne (Protagonist): Flawed Antihero: A whiskey-drinking PI masking survivor’s guilt with sarcasm. His fake "model citizen" diary clashes with ruthless tactics (blackmail, radioactive interrogations). Duality: Protects street orphans while exploiting clients, embodying Depression-era moral erosion. Veronica & Wilhelm: Noble Fugitives: Veronica’s aristocratic German past and Wilhelm’s swastika-etched knife hint at dark histories. Posing as a secretary/gardener, they manipulate Wayne’s investigations. Comic Relief: Wilhelm’s mountain-like physique paired with cat-obsessed campiness ("sailor outfits") offsets existential dread. Antagonists: Preacher Jacob: A vampiric zealot who views bloodsucking as divine sacrament, mirroring Wayne’s nihilism. Dr. Isaac: A Nazi eugenicist weaponizing vampirism, blending scientific rigor with monstrous ambition. 4. Narrative Craft: Noir Aesthetics & Pseudoscience Multi-Perspective Storytelling: Wayne’s cynical first-person narration intercuts with newspaper clippings (Jack the Ripper Returns), cult parchments, and Veronica’s encrypted journals to piece together the puzzle. Stylized Language: Gritty metaphors: "Wall Street fog smells of rusted dreams," "Veronica’s hair outshines Coney Island neon." Symbolism: Bulletproof doors adorned with Citizen Kane posters critique hollow American idealism; cash-stuffed Bibles mock religious hypocrisy. Sci-Fantasy Systems: Vampire "sun weakness" explained as uranium radiation side effects. "Eldritch whispers" rationalized as infrasound brainwashing; hell reimagined as a quantum dimension. Weapons: Rune-engraved silver bullets, alchemy-modified revolvers blending mysticism and tech.

[Mature Audiences] “He wasn’t supposed to survive… No one does.” I was just an ordinary guy, nothing special — until I woke up in the body of Cedric Valefor, the leader of the Cult Of The Abyss.  A side villain.  A footnote in the grand story of heroes and demon lords.  A man destined to be slaughtered. “He stood over the corpses of entire cults… laughing.” But fate made a mistake.  I remember just enough of this world to know how my story ends — burned alive, torn apart, erased from history. I refuse to accept that fate.  If this world sees my cult as an abomination, then I will become the nightmare they fear. With the power of Corruption, I will twist reality itself. With an assassin’s blade and a shadow mage’s sorcery, I will reshape this world. With faithful zealots and monstrous followers, I will build an empire from the shadows. “You don’t run from him… because if he decides you’re in the way, you’re already dead.” They call me a villain. A blight. A heretic. Let them. By the time they realize the truth, it will be too late.

Humans were blessed by the great Archangels, granted divine gifts, and favored by God, for they were made in His image. Yet, this favoritism bred resentment among the other races, plunging humanity into endless wars against those who were once their kin. Then came the invasion. Monsters flooded into the human realm, leaving devastation in their wake. Cities that once stood as symbols of prosperity were reduced to fortified bastions of survival. Worse still, some humans turned against their own, siding with the creatures that had brought ruin upon their world. Amid the chaos, an Angel heard the desperate cry of a child. It was a sign. The time had come to set God's plan into motion. But salvation would come from an unlikely source. A four-armed ogre named Asura, known as the mad dog of the great king. Torn from his own world and thrust into a land that despises him, Asura must navigate a realm where both zealots and warriors seek his death. Hunted, outcast, and alone, he faces a single question. How will he survive in a world that refuses to accept him?

When the Awakening happened, every adult over 20 gained a single unique power. Nathan Carter, a corporate worker on the rise, awakened to fire manipulation—growing stronger the more he fought. At first, he thought this was his golden ticket out of the corporate grind, a chance to finally be someone. But that dream went up in flames the second he saw what the world had become—a battlefield of lunatics, where extremists used their newfound powers to shove their deranged ideologies down everyone’s throats. Now, Nathan isn’t just another salaryman. He’s part of HERO, the last line of defense against a world gone insane. From nature-worshipping zealots who want to erase human civilization to wannabe warlords who think strength alone makes the rules—Nathan fights them all, grinning like a maniac and screaming: "I’LL BURN YOUR STUPID SHIT!"

The bravest are now mumbling masses, having glimpsed at the horrors that rest outside. The smartest are now fanatical zealots, understanding the only thing to do is worship them. There is nothing to know but fear.

Aberaeron has been facing recurring cases of murders and people going missing for the past few months. Witnesses report demonic activities and wraiths attacking travelers at night, the bodies of the unfortunate found mauled, flesh rendered from bones. The Emperor and elites of the upper court have dismissed the issue as merely a propaganda to fuel the religious zealots. Melannia Ashberne, the heir to the House Ashberne, has her own demons to face with unpleasant nightmares destroying her sleep. When her family is attacked on a trip to the city of Ravelon, Melannia finds herself standing in crossroads of deadly truths, harsh betrayals, and questions better left unanswered.

In a galaxy where gods and monsters wage eternal war, one man becomes the architect of humanity’s last stand. When Kael Veyne, a disillusioned mechanic from 21st-century Earth, is torn from his world and thrust onto the corpse-planet Vyrion-9, he inherits a war he doesn’t understand. Armed with the Legion Architect System—a mysterious technology that grants him the power to summon soldiers, construct fortresses, and unlock arcane weapons—Kael must rebuild the planet’s shattered defenses from ashes. But Vyrion-9 is no empty graveyard. The planet is hunted by the Vorath Swarm, a ravenous hive-mind of crystalline xenos, and haunted by the Screaming Choir, psychic cultists warped by an alien artifact called the Warp Shard. As Kael’s fledgling legion grows, so does the attention of deadlier foes: Stalkers in Iron (ancient mechanical horrors) and the Eldritch Confluence (cosmic entities feeding on the Vorath’s carnage). To survive, Kael must evolve from a scavenger into a warlord. But the System demands a price: the more he upgrades his Imperial Regulars, Ascendant Legion, and Aetheric Conclave, the more his humanity erodes. His soldiers are expendable—husks, superhuman zealots, and unstable psykers—but Kael’s conscience isn’t. When he discovers the Vorath are not invaders but creations of a long-dead empire, he must choose: reignite the galaxy’s deadliest war machine or let Vyrion-9 become a tomb for his soul. "Legion of the Eclipse" is a relentless blend of grimdark warfare, base-building progression, and cosmic horror, where every victory inches Kael closer to becoming the monster he fights.

He was summoned to this world to save it. He fought for it, to save his sister. Shawn was an emerging engineer before a portal pulled him and his cousin from Earth. He was told by the person who summoned him that they would save the world. Except, his summoner just used the last of her divinity to get him here, and they're outmatched against her insidious, power-hungry brother. He commands an army of zealots determined to make the world whole, or shatter what’s left of the hollow planet to pieces. But Shawn has a mission of his own, to find his sister, kidnapped to this strange planet of gods, magic and monsters. He makes a deal to help his depowered summoner, in exchange for helping launch a rescue mission, and imbues a dangerous power into himself. Now armed with the powers of fire, ice, and force, plus his engineering knowledge, he'll equip his friends with cutting-edge weapons and equipment inspired by Earth technology to give them the edge they need, and jump-start a magitech revolution. Shawn and his allies will delve deep into this nested realm of monsters, mysteries, and secrets, toward the core world in their efforts to confront a tyrant deity… Take flight into the depths of Remaria! What to expect: * A fantasy adventure into a fractured world, with detailed worldbuilding and complex characters. The main POV is Shawn for 80-90% of the story. * Progression elements are more than numbers--allies will bond, powers will grow, and tech will advance. * Violence and danger are lurking elements in Remaria, as are mysteries and secrets buried within the depths of the world. * Rating: PG-13. There's violence, the heroes have old wounds in their past, and some language. Expect some sensual content of a non-explicit kind down the line. * This story is a somewhat slow burn. The characters will keep progressing, as will the dangers they face.
