Whispers of the fallen

[MATURE CONTENT] “And why would you do that?" Sheba's voice trembled, anxiety shadowing her features as she observed Elisha's perilous state. "I did it all because I love you, yes, Sheba, I love you more than life itself," Elisha declared, sealing her words with a desperate kiss. But just as their lips met, a thunderous roar shattered the air. "Nooooo!" a voice bellowed, and an explosive force hurled them apart, sending their bodies crashing against opposite walls. "Not in this lifetime, Elisha," the voice seethed, dripping with fury. Elisha's heart raced as she lifted her gaze, dread pooling in her stomach. There stood the devil himself—Lucifer. ————————————- Survival was a deal fulfilled by the fittest. Seeking pleasure or solitude was a choice for the most powerful and the subdued are left for dust, crushed and broken. The five races lived in peace, reserved within their territories. Everything changed when Sheba defiled the order of leadership, seeking hungrily to rule all races; The humans, The witches, The sirens, The demons and The spirits. Her plot was countered however. Her very own sister sealing her away and putting a stop to her unquenchable hunger for power. The witch race was deemed weakest at that point— the enchantress supereme gone, their fate remained unknown. Yet, years of peace were known through out Cullen. Years that came to an end when the hunger for power and dominion seemed irresistible. It is hardly possible that one is satisfied with that which is under his control and a human goddess was no different. Moist struck. Harder than Sheba ever did, becoming the very evil she sealed Sheba for coming out as. And so, the battle among races began. Echoes of the shadowed past threatened to silence the present. The whispers of the fallen, rising high, resounding fear and chaos through out Cullen.

Scholar's Mate

“In an age where knowledge cuts deeper than knives, Victoria is about to learn far more than is safe for any soul to bear.” Victoria and Robert were torn from the gentle dullness of their ordinary century and cast into a realm governed by proto-concepts—those ancient, unblinking truths from which life, death, and divinity themselves are carved. Proclaimed “Heroes” by a world too desperate to question its own choices, they were commanded to rise in strength, confront a Demon Lord, and deliver salvation to a land that had never been theirs. Robert donned the mantle with the fervour of a man stepping into destiny. Victoria… hesitated. And in that hesitation, something old—older than scripture, older than light—turned its gaze toward her. She felt its attention like a draft through a locked room. In a moment poised between terror and terrible understanding, she accepted its offer: a contract sealed in silence, a year of her life exchanged for a thing that should never have been permitted to exist. Not in this world. Not in any. She did not yet grasp that, in straying from the Hero’s ordained path, she had not merely shifted her fate— she had begun to unwrite the very scaffolding of her humanity. Now Victoria walks like a phantom through a world that has marched on without her— one year behind the celebrated Hero, yet burdened with an insight so sharp it threatens to cut her free from mortality itself. She can now trespass upon knowledge forbidden to scholars, sorcerers, or even those who stand at the pinnacle of human mastery. She commits the kind of acts whispered only of beings who have stepped beyond the human threshold… and never returned. And in a world built on primordial, immovable truths, one truth endures: Knowledge is power. But power, when mishandled, becomes a curse that devours its bearer— quietly, inevitably, like rot beneath embroidered silk.

Vinland Kingdom: Race Against Time

An ordinary young man lives his life day to day, without going through any unusual experiences. He hasn't achieved anything remarkable. He has a job like any other, has a couple of close friends, but being in a similar situation, they can't go out and enjoy themselves, and he hasn't had a girlfriend. However, his life suddenly changes. He falls ill. He doesn't know if his destiny was to spend the rest of his life in a hospital, or if he would be able to recover from this illness and return to his tortuous life. But karma changes his destiny and reincarnates him in a new world, or rather, an alternate Earth. In this new world, he must start from scratch, and not just rhetorically. He must lead the village hidden in the mountains where he was reborn through a complete transformation if he wants to survive the challenges he will face in the future. Not only must he face small local villages, but he must also grow up between two great empires, only to be able to face a power greater than those lands have ever seen. The Arrival of the Colonizers. . ---- . This is a novel where the protagonist is reborn in one of the pre-Hispanic peoples, in present-day Colombia, a few years before the arrival of the Conquistadors of America. He must grow his people from a much less developed one, compared to the European powers of the time, to a kingdom capable of defending its territory from the many encounters with ships from the Atlantic. The initial development will be quite rapid and will be based on the protagonist as the leader of a new kingdom, bringing basic technologies from the future. The protagonist will have a harem, which is part of the customs of this people. In case you want to look it up, the people are called "Muiscas." I suggest using the Spanish language on Wikipedia and then translating it into your language with the translator available on your device, as the information is much more complete in this language. Also, I would like to clarify, as a curious fact, that it is thanks to this people that the legend of "El Dorado" is known. . ---- .

By the way, my native language is not English, in case you haven't noticed, and I rely on several very sophisticated translation tools (Google).
