The Star Of Ire

"No one is good to you once you stop pleasing them." Three thousand years ago, the gods made a wager: do mortals deserve to exist? The cruelest god cursed mankind. The kindest offered a way out. In the dark, the curse still waits — not for the wicked, but for the one the world chose to break. Three thousand years, and it has never once failed. Two centuries after the last catastrophe, Aseri sings hymns to a hero-king and calls the truth a myth. Markella believes every word — top of her class, bound for the palace, certain of her golden future. She has no idea what she is. She has no idea what's waiting. The Star of Ire has slept long enough.

So the voice made a offer: a way with no risk at all.

Extra's Path To Main Character

The story takes place in Ardenmoor – a continent where Mana flows through the earth like blood through veins. Every human is born with a Mana Affinity, a rank from F to SSS that determines their potential. Nobles hoard Mana Stones, elite academies train the gifted, and the strong rule absolutely. The world has a story. Specifically: it plays out like a novel, with a chosen protagonist, destined allies, legendary dungeons, and a final demon king. That story was already written once. Amaron Volg knows it by heart – because he lived it as an extra.

They are refusing to talk about where they were, what happened to them, or if the other missing teens are coming back too. Until Thomas decides to tell a hypothetical story. It is a ridiculous tale of world crossing, fantasy worlds, epic wars, cold castles, and quiet mountains. But his therapist is sure of one thing: the truth of what happened to them is there, woven somewhere in the stories. So she'll listen until she cracks the code.

Beastiary's Theory Of Evolution

The Beastiary's Theory Of Evolution states "All Trash Creatures Perish For The Sake Of The Higher Ones, All Trash Creatures Serve The Higher Ones, All Trash Creatures Needs To Evolve To Survive." A THEORY that is believed of different races throughout the land of Ouroboros throughout the thousands of years the world has existed. Creatures of different kinds worshipped the Great Beastiary, believed the Great Beastiary, and idolized the Great Beastiary. That was how the world of Ouroboros existed... Until a Pale-Mantle Manul broke the rule. After experiencing an impossible murder case and was henceforth suspected as the murderer of his Master, three years later after the "murder" broke out, he was sent into a Locked Room where he would need to stay until he dies. That was how Locked Rooms are; prisons where prisoners are sent to... —With the exception of the Pale-Mantle Manul. Throughout this literature, you will follow the Pale-Mantle Manul as he traverses this corrupted world of Ouroboros, ruled by the Crown. He will explore different Locked Rooms, uncover the secrets of these Locked Rooms, and unveil the history of them. However, you will have to go through all of these with different kinds of tragedies and heartwarming moments happening along the road. Especially, a slight pinch of romance in the story. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What to expect: - A unique and new power system based around Pokemon's evolution and Kit-based power system. - A new world that isn't just a globe with different geographies. The world is a circular serpent swallowing itself through different time periods. - Well written characters that aren't just one note. They all have their own motivations with their actions. They are flawed too. Especially the mc. Suprising right? - The main plot is about the unsolvable murder case. However, the story takes breaks from that sometimes. - Another interesting aspect is that mythology is an important aspect. Yes, the ancient mythology. Since, spoiler (well not really), one of the main character is transmigrated from Earth, which she will have an important role with uncovering the truth about these Locked Rooms. Some important Ancient Creatures (or what I call Divine Threads) are based off Mythological Creatures. - The romance is the best aspect. I'm not joking. You'll see. - I personally don't like plain character designs, so most of the important characters in the story will have some of the most beautiful character designs you'll read about. And yes, it's not only for aesthetic. It can impact their fighting styles and especially personality. - When you're reading it, don't expect it to end in a hundred chapters, or even two hundred. I'm planning this story to have atleast a thousand chapters or more. So, when you're reading, try to think in a larger scale. - Lastly, this story wasn't written to be perfect. I hate it when a story is too fast paced that there's barely enough time for me to have relationship/understanding with the main characters. This story can be slow, but each chapter will still push the plot forward. - I forgot to mention this. But the main theme of the story is your own WORTH. In this current time, with wars happening left and right, corruption taking money from different people, and the evil growing larger than the good... It's what motivated me to continue this story. Post Schedule: MWF

Overseer - [Psychological Urban Fantasy]

Every criminal in Anderis dreams of being hired as a Receiver for the Syndicate. And for good reason: they'd be guaranteed work and pay, gain a fearsome reputation, and, for those few gifted with supernatural abilities, they'd be granted free rein to use their powers. However, for the former-office worker—codenamed Rookie—the Syndicate's Retirement Scheme is all that matters. "50,000 shares. That's all I need to erase myself from the outside world.

One dreadful wave after the other. Will Rookie attain the freedom he desperately desires? Or will he instead be drowned beneath the crushing tides of his past? - Current release schedule will be daily: from Monday to Friday at 17:30 GMT. - Backlog is about 250k words. So this story won’t be disappearing/going on hiatus for a good while! Cover Art by @NadiaDibaj

Pokémon: The Seeker System

He watched every Pokémon adventure. He knew every legend. But nobody told him what would happen when he became part of the story. Par was an ordinary Pokémon fan who had spent years following Ash Ketchum across every region. On the night he died, he was doing nothing extraordinary—just rewatching Pokémon Black & White. Then he opened his eyes in Unova. The Pokémon he had watched on a screen were real. The legendary creatures he had dreamed about existed. And somewhere in this vast world, Ash Ketchum was beginning his journey. But there was one problem. Par had no money, no Trainer Card, and not even a Pokémon to protect him. Until a mysterious Seeker System changed everything. A Mythic Egg became his first partner, hatching into Zeraora—a Pokémon with unbelievable potential. With the Seeker's Eye, Par could locate Pokémon, analyse their abilities, and gradually unlock new powers through hard-earned victories. But knowing Pokémon was one thing. Surviving alongside them was another. As Par builds his team, meets unexpected companions, faces ruthless Trainers, and uncovers secrets buried in Unova's ancient history, his journey begins to diverge from the story he thought he knew. Team Plasma has secrets of its own. Legendary Pokémon are more than distant stories. And the strange energy left behind by Par's death may hold the key to something far greater than reincarnation. He came to this world wanting to finish the journey he once watched. Now, he's going to create a legend of his own. ⚡ Mythical Pokémon. A unique System. Original companions. Fierce rivalries. Legendary encounters. An adventure across regions. The journey of the Mythic Seeker begins here.

Lord Dragon Shapeshifter

Artuse is a very hungry dragon. While most of his siblings possess powerful High Bloodline Abilities, his is a seemingly Lesser Earth one that allows him to transform into pebbles. But he doesn't mind, for he likes eating pebbles. In fact, Artuse likes eating just about everything. Dragons are a prideful race who strive to grow mightier and live carefree lives. They teach their younglings that all other races are nothing but wretches. That the younglings should train and learn to be strong. But Artuse is content as long as his stomach is full. Occasionally, a blue screen calling itself an Interface flashes before his eyes, identifying his bloodline as Gluttony. His bloodline may not be as simple as most assume, but Artuse, however, pays it no mind. His days are peaceful, and he has no desire to grow stronger. That is, until he meets a so-called wretched human who changes his view of the world... . . . A story slightly inspired by How to Train Your Dragon. A LitRPG story with both lighthearted moments and darker ones too.
