Taking the name Leinston, he sets out into the vast kingdom of Lanexia, where forgotten ruins, mysterious phenomena and remnants of an ancient past await discovery. Yet the world holds more than forgotten history. As unexpected encounters turn into questions and discoveries lead to even greater mysteries, Leinston begins to realise that some secrets are far closer than they appear.

Destruction of the Rebirth Wheel

Scarlet King has lived and died more times than anyone could ever count. Every death should have been an ending. Instead, the Rebirth Wheel drags him back—into another body, another world, another life. Again. And again. And again. After countless cycles of existence, Scarlet King no longer seeks immortality, glory, love, or salvation. He seeks only one thing: Eternal rest. But as long as the Rebirth Wheel continues to turn, even death cannot grant him freedom. So Scarlet King chooses the only path left to him. He will destroy the Wheel itself. Through cultivation, slaughter, forbidden paths, and worlds governed by laws far beyond ordinary understanding, he will climb across the Eleven Dimensions and tear apart anything standing between him and his final death. He is no hero. He seeks no redemption. And he will not hesitate simply because countless lives stand in his way. If worlds must fall for the Rebirth Wheel to finally break, then worlds will fall. Because after enduring existence for longer than anyone should... Scarlet King believes eternal rest is worth any price. [Warning: This novel contains graphic violence, gore, torture, morally dark themes, and a genuinely evil protagonist.]

My Master was A protagonist

Two people were traveling through the Forest of Doom. The one in the back was wearing a blue T-shirt and black trousers. At the moment, his black hair was drenched in sweat, and his expression was one of confusion. Normally, when you enter a forest, you could hear birds chirping, insects buzzing, and animals making noise, but he couldn't hear anything like that. Well, he did hear some scary noises, but he couldn't identify what they were, nor did he know what could make such noises. It felt like something was scrutinizing him from head to toe, but he couldn't pinpoint where that something was. The blonde-haired one was wearing an animal-furred cloak, under which he had gray pants and a white-yellowish shirt. He also had other things, like a sword strapped to his waist and belts holding different items. If he were on Earth, people would probably mistake him for a cosplayer. The one at the back, seemingly hesitating, spoke. "Mr. Alvin, are you sure we're going on the right path and haven't lost our way?" Pointing to a tree covered in thorns, he continued, "I feel like we have seen and passed by this tree three times already. Also, are you sure we're safe? I feel like I heard some scary growls, and I have a feeling something is watching us." Mr. Alvin turned around and gave a gentle smile. "Don't worry, Mr. Joshua." Pointing to the compass-like object he was holding, he said, "As long as we have this device, nothing will happen to us. As long as we follow the directions on this device, we'll be safe and reach our destination with no problem." Not knowing what to say to the Smiling Knight, Joshua shut up and followed the man. After some time, however, he saw the same thorn-covered tree again. His eye twitched before he could say anything. However, the compass-like object in Alvin's hand started beeping. Alvin exclaimed, "We're close." He started walking faster, and as he did, the beeping grew louder and faster. Joshua hurriedly followed, thinking, That thing sounds like a timer for a bomb. Alvin stopped as the beeping stopped. The space in front of them rippled like water, and then two doors came into view. A voice spoke in a somber tone, "What's the password?" The voice came from the compass in Alvin's hand. "Ahem, ahem." Clearing his throat, Alvin's expression turned serious as he said into the device, "Open Sesame." "What!" Joshua, who was behind him, was dumbfounded. -------------------------------------------------- Joshua somehow found himself in another world. After being taken in by a group of knights and going through more than his fair share of trouble, he discovered something unexpected: he wasn't the first person from another world to arrive here. Someone had come before him. Someone who had turned his life into a legend, living an adventure straight out of a protagonist's tale. And now, Joshua had to find his own place in a world where someone else had already played the protagonist.

The Infinite Has Edges

The first bell broke before anyone could ring it. Then someone started moving a mountain. Not a particularly promising beginning for the people living beneath it. High above an ancient city, under an ocean suspended in the sky, Aevran Sol is having a disagreement with an old acquaintance named Rhovel. Aevran would prefer that the city remain standing. Rhovel would prefer to see what happens if it does not. They have known each other for a very long time, and neither is particularly inclined to concede an argument. Unfortunately, this disagreement involves rather more than words. There will be extraordinary magic, weapons with histories older than kingdoms, and the occasional demonstration of why being immensely powerful does not mean being right. Or invincible. But this is not only a story about someone who can stand against impossible things. Long before the battles, before the centuries of knowledge, before Aevran became someone capable of arguing with beings that treat mountains as interesting objects, there was a boy with a family, a curious mind, and rather more questions than his parents probably appreciated. And that part of his life matters just as much. The Infinite Has Edges follows different periods of one extraordinary life through a vast world of magic, ancient mysteries, dangerous creatures, remarkable peoples, friendships, mistakes, discoveries, and consequences that do not conveniently disappear when the fighting ends. There will be adventure. There will be battles. There will be quieter moments worth remembering. And there will be questions. Quite a few questions, actually. After all, even the infinite must have its limits. Finding them might be the easy part. Welcome to the story. Loreforged

The Abomination Within Letcham

The city of Letcham was lorded over by a vampiric ruling class from Castle Sangmont. However, twenty years ago they had been massacred, and in their stead the church took hold of the city. Their religion was less about gods and more a worship of human kind's advancement and, when the plague swept the city, bloodshed. This plague was not a normal sickness, it turned folks ravenous. They acted more like beasts than men when infected, so they were called as much. One day a young woman named Mayme was sent to get supplies from the city in her ailing father's stead. The only issue was that she was the daughter of a leech of Sangmont. A monster the church would not take too kindly too-- nor would the man in Letcham who made it his life's mission to slay the rest of her wretched kind. The very man she was forced to rely upon when she got trapped outside with the beasts by the city's nightly lockdown. [Content Warning: Violence & Gore, Physical Abuse, Sexual Assault, Medical Torture]
