mystery

Long before kingdoms rose and clans divided the world, the gods created beings who would never age—the Immortals. Gifted with divine power, they were meant to protect balance. Instead, they became the cause of its destruction. A forgotten war, a hidden betrayal, and a forbidden power gave birth to a curse—one that erased an entire clan from history. Now, centuries later, the world stands divided among five great clans—each ruling with power, pride, and fear. Peace is fragile. Trust is rare. And something long buried is beginning to awaken. A young immortal named Agniv lives without a past, unaware of the true origin of his power. When his abilities awaken, they shake the very foundation of the clans. Hunted by enemies and watched by kings, he becomes the center of a prophecy that could either restore balance… or destroy everything. Sent to eliminate him is Elara Frostveil, a warrior of the Cryomix Clan—cold, precise, and bound by duty. But when she comes face to face with Agniv, something unexpected happens. She remembers him. As shadows rise and war spreads across the clans, a dark force led by Kael begins to move in silence, seeking a power greater than immortality itself. Secrets begin to surface. Truths long buried refuse to stay hidden. Because the greatest threat is not the war between clans… It is the return of something that should never have existed. A clan without a name. A power beyond the gods. A curse that binds them all. And when the truth is finally revealed, one choice will decide the fate of everything: Will the Immortal save the world… or become its end?

Odesse is a human servant whose life changes the night she intrudes on a sacred mating ritual. Taken to the Moonlight Palace by Alpha King Valex, she is kept as his personal servant, a fate no human has ever survived. Worse, she bears the Alpha mark, something believed to be impossible for a human and forbidden by every law of the packs. An unexplainable pull binds Odesse to Valex, drawing her closer to him despite her fear and resistance. Valex, once a powerful king, was dethroned by his brother Malrik after every woman who mated with him died. Though Odesse carries his mark, they do not complete the bond. Whatever ties them together is stronger, darker, and far more dangerous than mating. As Odesse remains in the palace, she is plagued by relentless nightmares that blur the line between reality and illusion, leaving her crying black blood and questioning her sanity. Her suffering leads her to long-buried secrets, including a mysterious figure connected to her mother’s past. With every truth uncovered, Odesse is drawn closer to a destiny she was never meant to discover. As her heritage and true nature begin to surface, Odesse must face the question that could destroy her. Will her bond with Valex be her salvation, or will it be the very thing that kills her?

Sienna Adams’s life is anything but peaceful. She’s burdened by debts that aren’t hers and running from a past she refuses to face. Love isn’t on her mind... until she encounters Zachary Sterling. Zachary is a man shrouded in secrets. The only softness in his life is his son. Sienna should have been nothing more than a passing stranger, someone he would never recall. But something about her makes it difficult for him to walk away. Sienna doesn’t realize that Zachary is the leader of a powerful company. And Zachary doesn’t know that Sienna is the woman who once carried his child… and then vanished without a trace. Or perhaps he is the reason she vanished...? As the truth begins to surface, their past and present become intertwined. Feelings grow deeper, secrets grow darker, and love becomes dangerous. And this time, walking away may no longer be an option. ___ Excerpt: For a second, Sienna just stared at her phone as if it had suddenly become a magical object. Her mind felt slow, like it was wrapped in soft cotton, and her head leaned slightly to one side as she processed the voice. “Wow… wow…” she whispered, her lips curving into a wide, delighted smile. “Mr. Handsome Zach, it’s you…” There was a brief pause. “Yes, it’s me,” Zachary replied, though now his tone carried a clear trace of confusion. “Sienna… are you drunk?” “Wow, I'm surprised! Mr. Dangerous-for-my-sanity, you accepted my call…” she continued instead, completely ignoring his question. Then she laughed. It wasn’t her usual quiet laugh. It was light, free, and a little too loud for someone sitting alone in a dark apartment. The sound filled the room, bouncing off the walls, making her feel like she wasn’t alone at all. On the other end, Zachary stayed silent for a moment, clearly trying to understand what exactly was happening. “Sienna,” he said again, more firmly this time, “where are you now?”

This is the story of a civilization that triumphed over the mystical and the supernatural. It is an era where elves, vampires, demons, and dragons can no longer control mankind. A race once seen as inferior now stands on its own, pushing those "superior" beings to the brink of extinction. ​Yet, these people still bow to the gods. They follow the deities who offer guidance instead of terror, a concept they call religion. ​However, one nation intends to wipe all non-humans from the face of Elysium. Fascism now walks in the robes of faith. They turn holy words into weapons, even though they never understood the beings they worship. They are blind to the irony: the hand that raises a sword in the name of heaven is the hand furthest from heaven itself. ​When a single human finally declared that mankind needs no gods to worship nor demons to fear, for the first time in my existence, I felt a need to know how this story ends. ​Who am I? I am only a gardener, tending to the seeds I have sown since the dawn of the first civilization.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

Decades ago, in the great Kingdom of Oceania, a sacred law ruled over the throne. Before a new ruler could ascend, the reigning Emperor had to surrender the throne willingly.

Tamara cannot possibly be connected to the Dark Lord!” Tamara only sighs, soft and tired. “Sorry, Harry. He is already the Dark Lord.”

He entered a world he once watched, only to follow the one person who was never meant to be saved. Johann had already given up on reality long before it began to collapse. The only thing that kept him going was a game, The Mayhem, and its silent, unstoppable protagonist: the Hellraider. Then the game became real. Monsters, death, and destruction—everything unfolded exactly as he remembered. But Johann didn’t enter this world to survive. He came for one reason: to follow Hellraider… and change the ending that should have never happened. Yet the more he walks that path, the more the world begins to break away from what he knows. Events shift. Truths contradict. And the figure he once believed he understood refuses to be defined by anything, not even the story itself. In a world where even fate is unstable, Johann continues forward, even when he no longer knows what he is chasing.
