In the turbulent era of Europa from 1913 to 1920, a devastating world war ignites following the assassination of Great Duke Francis, heir to the Middle Nations of Germano-Hungry—loyal allies of the formidable Great Empire. This spark escalates into a brutal clash, with the Great Empire locked in combat against a coalition of powers: the steadfast Republic of France, the shadowy Transnatia (formerly Romania), the expansive Great United Front of Russia, and the naval-dominant Island Nation of Commonwealth (Britain), as additional nations are pulled into the conflict across the years. "Trenchbound" chronicles the war through shifting perspectives of soldiers on the battlefield, each chapter capturing a unique viewpoint at critical junctures. From the desperate struggles of everyday infantrymen navigating treacherous trenches and mechanized assaults—featuring colossal steam-driven tanks and armored contraptions—to the elite magic divisions, where mages command ethereal flying machines (distinct from conventional aircraft) to soar above the fray. These sorcerers enchant bullets with devastating spells, causing them to explode on impact or unerringly track their targets, turning the odds lethally against ordinary troops and amplifying the chaos of combat. Through these personal narratives, the novel delves into the grim realities of a war where arcane enhancements merge with industrial might, exposing the fragility of life, the bonds of camaraderie, and the shattering consequences of enchanted warfare that reshapes Europa's destiny. This alternate historical epic blends authentic period tensions with limited magical intrigue, painting a vivid portrait of survival amid enchanted peril.

"They didn't want you to die, they simply wouldn't care if you did." Malik was born for the sea, created on a warship with no land, no past he can fully remember, and a voice in a rusted blade that knows him better than he knows himself. He learned that the sea does not take people. It returns them. He has never known land, yet, even if he reaches land, will it be worth it in the end? Will it ever be enough? Some lives begin with beauty. Others begin with blades, and what the world chooses to discard. As hidden powers observe from beyond the veil and false order tightens its grip, a bayonet will inherit the aftermath of choices he never made. And what comes after may be far worse than collapse. But he’s not the only one watching . . .

In the rainy coastal city of Greyhaven, a struggling single mother named Mara Ellison is trying to rebuild her life after a traumatic past she barely speaks about. One night in a dim bar, she accidentally meets Dr. Adrian Vale, a brilliant and charismatic psychiatrist whose calm voice and piercing gaze seem to see straight through her. Their chance encounter turns into a secret relationship. But everything becomes complicated when Mara unexpectedly meets Elena Vale, Adrian’s elegant and enigmatic wife. Instead of hostility, Elena offers friendship. Soon, Mara finds herself entangled in their strange marriage, mysterious therapy sessions, and disturbing phenomena she cannot explain. She begins to experience lucid dreams, sleepwalking episodes, and moments where reality feels… borrowed. As Mara investigates Adrian and Elena’s past, she uncovers whispers of experimental psychology, trauma survivors, and a hidden practice involving consciousness traveling through dreams. But the deeper she digs, the more unstable her own identity becomes. Because someone in this story is not who they appear to be. And someone else is wearing a life that was never theirs.

He had thought he had finally reached peace. But when faced with a disaster he could not comprehend, Oren realized it was not peace waiting for him, but death. In desperation, he pulled on his anchor, escaping certain death. The anchor did not return him "home," nor did it grant him safety. Instead, it dragged him downward and cast him into a cursed world. He fell from the clouds and crashed into a lone house on the distant outskirts of a great city. He survived but at a cost. Cursed by the very world he had trespassed upon, Oren awakened there as something he had never been before. Stripped of what he once was, he was forced to walk the world and flourish as something painfully fragile, slowly reclaiming what had been taken from him.

The saga begins in the Age of the Vikings. In frozen lands of longships, rune stones, and blood-soaked villages, Christopher Waldorf—Chris the Fearless—never bows, never hesitates. Men follow him into battle, drawn to the fire in his eyes and the unshakable certainty of his step. Until the cursed night arrives. On a hunt meant for game, wolves descend from the shadows—unnatural, merciless, monstrous. Chris fights like a storm, but by dawn, he is the only one left alive. His village lies in ruins, his family and friends slaughtered by rival tribes lying in wait. Survival becomes his curse. At first his wounds refuse to heal. Hunger gnaws beyond reason. The moon awakens something ancient in his blood. When he kills to defend himself, the first transformation begins—agonizing, violent, complete. He becomes a werewolf, a creature of shadow, fury, and blood. But then a darker forces stir. During a moon-soaked battle, an Original vampire pierces his throat. Death should claim him—but does not. The wolf curse evolves. He awakens as something entirely new: neither wolf nor vampire, but a hybrid, a fully cursed immortal. Time becomes both prison and weapon. Chris crosses lands and centuries. He fights beside mortals, leads armies, saves lives—and disappears before bonds can form. He witnesses empires rise and crumble, kingdoms flourish and decay, humanity reach new heights and plunge into horrors he cannot forget. He meets other immortals—vampires, cursed warriors, ancient beings—but belongs to none. And yet… he hunts. Always hunts. From Viking forests to eras humans barely remember, this is the story of a soul forged in blood, shaped by centuries of war and loss, and transformed into a creature the world has never seen. A warrior without home. A monster that remembers his humanity. An immortal who refuses to die. A shadow that will not rest until vengeance is complete.

(I guess this is a warning, but the beginning chapters of the fic are a bit... rough. Once you get past those, it gets better, I think. This is my first actual try on writing a fanfiction, so spare me the hate comments pretty please.) Not everyone has it lucky in this world filled with good and bad. Especially not Rei Kageyama, who is the victim of an unfortunate incident regarding some bad people. Will he overcome the supervillains with his quirk, Ghost Hands? Uh, read it... to find out, I guess. (I don´t own the book cover. If you own it and want it taken off, inform me!)

KURIKORU BLOODLINE: EXISTENCE OF PAIN ‎ ‎A prophecy spoken by the Watchers foretold the rise of three brothers—sons of one man—each bound to a different fate, each destined to reshape the world. ‎ ‎Laiman was warned never to go to war. ‎He defied fate—and survived the Battle of the Sixty Thousand, a massacre no man was meant to live through. As punishment, the power that saved him was stolen and passed to his unborn son. ‎ ‎That child became Ragna. ‎ ‎Born in flight and raised in secrecy, Ragna grew up unaware that he was one of the enslaved Migardians forced to serve the very empire that crushed his people. While training at the Temple of Eyes, he discovered the truth—and chose rebellion. ‎ ‎But Ragna was not alone. ‎ ‎His brothers walked darker paths. ‎Colvo, raised in privilege, believed order must be enforced through fear. ‎Mist, rejected by society, sought freedom through revolution. ‎ ‎When blood ties were revealed, brotherhood turned to war. ‎ ‎Chains were shattered. Kingdoms fell. Crowns were raised in blood. ‎Ragna became the Liberator of Migard, Mist the founder of a rebel nation, and Colvo the empire’s deadliest commander. ‎ ‎This is not the story of one king. ‎ ‎It is the origin of a bloodline— ‎forged through pain, ambition, and prophecy— ‎that will one day dominate the Broken Continent.

He sacrificed everything and everyone to save her. Now she’s the monster he must kill. Zeek is a man running out of reasons to keep going. A wandering rogue turned pariah, he has spent years feeding the Heart of Sorrows—a living labyrinth built on ancient genocide, whose walls shift, whose dead rise, and whose hunger never ceases. He keeps returning for one reason: Lilliana. His wife. A woman of near-angelic descent who sacrificed herself for his survival and became the labyrinth’s unwilling queen in the process. Every expedition ends in failure. The blood of companions, hired blades, and friends alike stains his hands. Desperate and running out of time, Zeek assembles one final company: Verris, a brutal mercenary duty-bound to the men he lost inside those same walls; Kerris, a scarred archer who survived the labyrinth once and carries the grief of those who didn’t; Amon, a fire mage from Kemet who carries a reincarnated soul older than the corruption itself; and Heka, a Shu-Ra queen—a being the gods tried to erase from existence—who drifts in smoke beside the man she loves across lifetimes. Together, they descend into a nightmare that remembers them, adapts to them, and weaponizes everything they’ve ever lost. At its heart, The Labyrinth of Endless Grief is a story about love as an act of destruction. It encompasses the specific grief of watching someone you love become unrecognizable—not dead, but gone—and the terrible choices made in the space between who they were and what they’ve become. Zeek doesn’t just fight monsters. He fights his own hubris, his guilt, and the dawning realization that saving Lilliana may require destroying the last version of her that remains. The labyrinth doesn’t invent horrors. It finds the ones we never imagined carrying and leaves them with us.. This is a grimdark tragic romance inspired by Dragon Age: The Calling, the atmosphere of FromSoftware’s Souls series. Book One of the Heart of Sorrows trilogy.

Raziel died a saint, slaughtered in his own cathedral the moment a Player fell from the sky, labeled his world a "Server," and reduced him to nothing more than a prologue NPC. His final act of faith didn’t stop the massacre... but it did shatter the rules of the Game. [ITEM USED: RESURRECTION TOKEN] [INITIATING REGRESSION PROTOCOL…] [SAVE POINT FOUND: 4 YEARS BEFORE THE PLAYER ARRIVAL] Raziel wakes up in his fifteen-year-old body, memories fragmented, but with one absolute certainty: the Game Over is inevitable. To the Church, he remains the perfect novice; to the Player, he is just another NPC. But this time, he will wield his faith like a heretical System: recruiting the future sacrificial lambs, twisting miracles into weapons, and becoming the Hidden Boss of the very world that once discarded him.
