The Fury Flame

Erathea is a vast world filled with magic, piracy, and more. In this world there are an array selection of characters with the main focus being Rhea Nox and Captain Connor. Rhea Nox is a wild woman who is trying to find a place in this world. How can she when the society she faces treats her race as nothing better than slaves? Not only that but a religion that sees her powers as blasphemous. Finding her true new home will be harder than she predicts, with a trail full of grief and rage laid before her. Connor is a pirate captain of the renowned Nightmare Maiden. He has a secret behind his copper eyes and a goal that can very well end his life. A man reaching for the deepest of watery caverns to the highest points of mountains. A man that is a great tactician but fails to see what is the most important. Will it be too late for him by the time he notices what's at stake? Their paths will cross as ordained, the question is will they be able to crawl out before they get swallowed up by Erathea?

Under The Veil

Original ONGOING Portal Fantasy / IsekaiTime LoopUrban FantasyProgressionWar and MilitaryActionMysteryPsychologicalRomanceApocalypseDystopiaFirst ContactGender BenderHigh FantasyMagitechMale LeadMartial ArtsMythosReincarnationSteampunk Warning: This fiction contains: Graphic Violence Profanity Sensitive Content On the empty street, a lone figure walked. A black coat draped over a white shirt, stained in dark, uneven patches that had yet to dry. Black trousers followed the same muted tone, blending him into the night as though he belonged to it more than the world around him. His hair was black, unremarkable at a glance, yet his eyes—sharp, brown, and unwavering—carried a quiet weight. Not exhaustion of the body, but something deeper, something that had settled within him long before this moment. Blood marked his clothes. Fresh enough to glisten faintly beneath the dim light, yet old enough to cling stubbornly, refusing to fade. The road remained silent. No footsteps but his own disturbed the stillness. No distant engines, no whisper of wind—nothing. Only a single street lamp stood above, casting a weak, yellow glow that felt… insufficient, as though it illuminated less than it should, leaving parts of the world just slightly beyond reach. And in that dim light— Something about the scene felt incomplete. Then, without warning, the streetlight flickered. Once. Then twice. Then irregularly, as though something unseen had begun interfering with its rhythm. The shadows shifted with it—but not entirely in sync. A fraction too slow. A fraction too late. As if they were no longer bound perfectly to the objects that cast them. NOTE:- Please only read if you are ready to imagine the extreme gore and all types of mortal cruelty.

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.

The Inventor and the Machine.

The war ended. The machines were destroyed. But one of them survived. And a farm boy just brought her home. Elio Joshua is an ordinary farm boy in a world still healing from the Human-AI War. The war that killed seven billion people. The war that turned machine against man. The war that left his family with scars they never speak of. He helps his parents with the harvest. He plays with his two best friends. He dreams of becoming an inventor. His life is simple. Quiet. Safe. Then he falls through the earth. Beneath the forest floor, he finds an abandoned underground laboratory that shouldn't exist. Inside, a girl floats in a tank of glowing purple liquid. She is beautiful. She is fragile. She is drowning. Elio breaks the glass. He carries her home. He names her Luna. But Luna is not human. She cannot walk. She cannot talk. She has no heartbeat. She knows things no child should know. She is a hybrid, a remnant of the war, a creation that should have been destroyed. And she is not the only one who survived. A rogue military power called Salvon knows she exists. They know what she is. They know what she can become. And they will tear Elio's family apart to reclaim her. One night. That's all it takes. One night. One raid. One promise. Luna gives herself up to save the family that took her in. Elio, beaten and broken, is left crawling in the mud, screaming her name into the darkness. He has no army. He has no money. He has no map. All he has is a knife, a photograph, and two friends who refuse to let him go alone. The journey will take him across the Grey Zones, through corrupt cities, and into the frozen heart of Salvon itself. He will face thieves, sinners, and monsters wearing human faces. He will lose more than he ever imagined. He will grow harder. Darker. But he will never break his promise. Because the girl who couldn't move taught him what it means to be human. And he will cross the world to bring her home. This is Book 1 of an epic serial series. The journey continues in Book 2: The Long Road to Salvon. Every chapter builds. Every promise matters. Start from the beginning and follow Elio to the edge of the world and back.
