The Destined Path of Water

For generations, the River of Life has blessed the valley with crystal waters, flourishing forests, and a promise whispered through every spring festival. Hidden within its depths sleeps an ancient water dragon—the silent guardian who has watched over humanity since the beginning. When ten-year-old Sae and nine-year-old Rika are each saved by the mysterious dragon on opposite sides of the same river, their lives become bound by an invisible thread. Though they grow up worlds apart and never meet, both carry an unexplainable connection to the river, a strange blue necklace, and dreams that refuse to fade. Years later, as a massive dam threatens to silence the sacred waters forever, forgotten legends begin to awaken. The dragon's strength wanes, the river's voice grows faint, and two souls unknowingly destined for one another must uncover the truth hidden beneath the flowing current. In a story where nature remembers what people forget, The Destined Path of Water is a heartfelt fantasy about destiny, memory, sacrifice, and the bonds that transcend time. As the river's fate intertwines with their own, Sae and Rika must discover whether some promises can survive—even when every memory has been washed away. Two souls. One current. A destiny written by the river.

Keepers Of The Occult (NaNoWriMo 2024)

If mythical creatures only exist in folklore, are they truly fictional? Or just kept under very tight wraps? Hazel Adams is a timid high school student who spends all her time hiding from people and reading about Japanese urban legends. Those tales are far more interesting than her boring life, after all. But monsters don't just live in stories. Not only are these creatures very real, but a secret society of wizards also monitors and polices supernatural activity all around the world. To make matters worse, they just accidentally let four Japanese monsters- also known as Yokai- loose in Hazel's city. Now, Hazel must work alongside these wizards to track them down before the unleashed Yokai threaten the balance between the natural and supernatural worlds.

Gematrail — Echo Observer — Lævateinn

There is a layer to this story that cannot be reached through the surface plot alone. Clues have been deliberately woven throughout the story for the author and readers to uncover together. Everything needed to reach it should already exist in the knowledge and tools we possess, yet it has not fallen into anyone’s hands—not yet. As you read on, the story quietly waits for someone to notice. *** DEVOUR. The ordinary. The reality. The world. Despair, hope, good and evil—none are permitted. The prophecy is fulfilled here. Soon, the world will lose everything. And the man who once saved it has already lost himself. *** The boundary between illusion and reality had long since ceased to exist. In the year 20XX, without warning or precedent, Monsters emerged — consuming cities, devouring lives, swallowing the world’s last reserves of hope whole. And then, when humanity had nearly surrendered to despair, a Savior appeared. What awaited him was a death sentence — the charge: high treason against the state. Stripped of everything that had ever made him himself, he was cast into a cold and indifferent sea. Yet even there, sinking through the abyss, a light found him — the luminance of a Goddess, merging with what remained of his shattered soul. Darkness coiled around him like a living thing, its tendrils hungry and absolute. And still, against all reason, he was pulled back to the surface. He returned with nothing. No past. No name. No self. They gave him a new one — Ariwara Yūki — and with it, a second life stitched together from silence and borrowed time. Beside him walked Sano Amana, the girl who would become his anchor, and for a while, the two of them knew something that almost resembled ordinary days. Then the Monsters came back. They always come back. As his own memories continue to bleed away, Yūki pursues the vanishing silhouette of Amana — drawn ever deeper into a storm where government conspiracies and the ambitions of shadowed factions grind against each other like tectonic plates. He was once the Savior of this world. Now he has nothing. So what, exactly, can a man with nothing left — do? *** Comedy / Ecchi / Fantasy / Harem / Horror / Mature / Mystery / Romance / School Life / Sci-fi / Slice of Life / Supernatural / Tragedy From Japanese Full-length light novel This translation is provided by the author.

The invasion of Earth has already started.

In a genre built on solo heroes grinding for power, Gavin and Earth's champions once again choose a different path: reincarnating the souls of Earth's dead as spirit-born warriors, building armies instead of going it alone, forging alliances with alien species, and refusing to treat war as a game. But those overseeing the Ascendancy aren't safeguarding peace--they're filtering threats. Culling potential rivals before they can rise. Can Earth's champions survive alien dinosaurs, and a universe that seems to want to crush them? Our only allies, a race that died on Earth before humanity ever took its first steps... Step into the cradle, champion, and find out. THE SECOND CRADLE - A LITRPG ADVENTURE If you haven't had a chance to read the first book yet you can find it here on Novelpedia!

A Man rides an experimental space ship engine that pushes him close to the speed of light, knowing he'll miss out on two hundred years before he returns to normal time. Turns out they invented warp drive like a week later, but he had become too valuable as a tourist attraction to pull him out of near light speed travel, so they just... didn't stop him until the ship stopped itself. He finds the future he arrives in not at all to his liking, so he goes for another round... and another... and another. Will he ever find the star trek future he's looking for? Or will he just meet strange new alien races, and try to bang them.

SideKick | Shit Hero

Working is hard. Being a hero too. Doing both at the same time, for half the pay, is hell. Every day, Arthur wakes up early to sweep the filthy streets of Lumière in exchange for a pittance, zero recognition, and a terrible smell that seeps through his clothes and clings to his body. But when monsters appear and the city needs someone, he’s the one who steps up. Not to defeat them, of course, but because, apparently, no one else wants to clean up the mess that the real heroes leave behind. At the end of the day, his only consolation is heading to the corner diner, where the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen works. There, between a hot sandwich and a shy smile, Arthur almost forgets that he’s the lowest-paid (and most ridiculous) hero in Lumière. What kind of shit hero is this? A.N.: A short story set in the cyberpunk heroes universe of higgscrowl (Radiant).
