One Last Knight. A Series of Short Stories. Volume 1: Embers.

An epic and every-growing anthology! A collection of wild, weird, and wondrous tales that will intertwine with time! The world of Enverdolmal is on the edge of war as dark and menacing powers begin to make their moves from the Shadows, slowly tilting the balance of Aether -the magical energy that fuels everything in existence- in their favor.  Demons test their prison seals... Witches gather seeking chaos and anarchy... Monsters are on the march under strange and unknown banners... The long-lost Elemental Dragons are due to return... Our story is told through the eyes of approx. 15 characters, starting with a knight by the name of Bastion Ridder who finds himself in the middle of it all. Garth Verlore -the famous and sprawling school where he was set to teach- falls under siege by forces that no one seemed to see coming, and he must do all that he can (while fighting alongside staff and students alike) to see to it that he doesn't become the one last knight... With classes like "Dragon Slaying 101" and "Goblin Battle Tactics" Bastion knew that this would be no small feat... It all started so well, but eventually everyone falls...Be it in love or war. Or even the classroom! Knights & Mages. Dragons & Goblins. Spirits & Demons & Witches And so very much more awaits you in this tale of triumph, chaos, love, war, betrayal, and loss. Are you ready to turn one last page? Read one last story? Lose one last knight? -----

The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

HP: Descendant of the Arcane Lords

They called Merlin the Greatest Wizard. They called Morgana the Supreme Witch. But none knew that when their blood becomes one, the ALBERICH shall rise. Morwenna Jane Alienor Alberich Emrys-LeFay — the heir of the Keith family, the descendant of two Arcane Lords. Born with snow-white hair and emerald eyes, her very existence made the ancient magic tremble. Yet her power came with a price: extreme fragility during childhood. Death at age five brought her a second chance. Carrying memories from a modern world where she watched the downfall of wizarding Britain, she returned transformed. Arrogant, sharp, and shaped by two lifetimes — now known as Nimue Keith. To her, there is no "Light vs Dark". There is only Tradition vs Decay. Dumbledore seeks modernization that erodes magic. Voldemort seeks purity that destroys the foundation. Standing above both, the Descendant of the Arcane Lords shall rewrite fate and restore the Balance. "I am not here to choose sides. I am here to become the Law." — Nimue Keith --- This story has a pretty slow pace, so it does need some patience to get through. The main focus is worldbuilding, lore, and going deeper into how magic actually works. The second major focus is slice of life, so you’ll see a lot of quieter, everyday moments from the MC’s life as things develop. It’s not really about good versus evil like in canon. Instead, it leans more into politics, different perspectives, and the tension between traditionalists and those who want to modernize the wizarding world. So if you’re looking for fast action right away, this probably isn’t the fic for you. --- Volume One: Before the Stone — ages 0–7. Volume Two: Beneath the Magical Veil — ages 7–letter As this is a WIP, I can't make exact promises, but the pace will evolve with the story --- I'm currently rewriting the story because I feel like some parts were a bit too much. I want to make the story flow better and try out a slightly different writing style. But I'm not planning to fix every awkward part or remove all the repetition. Let's just say they'll stay as a little reminder of how much I've grown as a writer. Anyway, this fic is already in Volume 2, but I've only reached Chapter 24 in the rewrite so far. I've also started posting it on Patreon, so if you're reading it there, it'll be easier for you to follow the rewritten version and keep track of my progress! I'm also trying to add some illustrations to the fic (AI-generated, of course!). Hopefully, they'll make the reading experience a little more fun. That's all from me. Happy reading, everyone! --- If you enjoy this story and want to support me, you can do so by donating or subscribing here: https://patreon.com/rikhi https://ko-fi.com/rikhi Thank you for your support!

Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Everyday was the same for Skullius. An Undead minion of the lowest order like him, didn’t have to find a grand purpose… other than mining mana gems for his Lich master, of course. His peers thought so. They lacked ambition. To be fair, so did he. But there was just that something that kept nagging at him. A spark that no other skeleton seemed to have. Other than being the sassy bullshitter obsessed with mana that he was, why did Skullius vaguely remember being something other than a Moronic Undead drone once? What had come before his Undeath? In the end, it was this spark that allowed our atrocious hero to escape the clutches of his evil master and reach another world. And it is in this world, chock full of dangers – most beckoned by Skullius’ abnormally horrendous luck, to be honest – that the skeleton’s journey begins. In Aigas – the new world – he prepared for the greatest getback of an age armed with a power greater than that of the Liches of Deadmanland! ...... [Author’s Answers To Popular Readers’ Questions] Q: (IHateArjuun77) -Hey author, is your book trash?- A: (Author) -Haha, screw you dear reader. The answer is NO. The story has elements of comedy, action, magic, adventure and Brutality. Like it gets really dark sometimes. There’s a comprehensive story with characters that I tried my damndest to NOT make generic on top of a cool power system that’s for the most part easy to understand. So its not trash. Q: (IFreakingHateArjuun56) -Hey author why is your first volume so slow paced and... trash?- A: (Author) -Haha. It’s how I designed the First Volume to be. It’s a fun setup that doesn’t focus on many things other than the MC’s mentality, powers and route of progression. The next volumes are normal paced, focusing on the world, the villains and general expansion but all while still retaining the book theme and fun experience- Q: (ShadeIsAPervert001) -Hey author, I instinctively sense that I’ll hate this book, when should I drop? A: (Author) -Is this the same reader?! Anyway, I’ll give a range. Read a minimum of the first 20 chapters to a max of up to chapter 44 before you decide on anything too rash. I’ll hunt down this reader! --- Book cover art by Vicky.rae. Discord: [ https://discord.gg/8hcraTjzE9 ] Patreon: For custom art patreon.com/Livelysockets

Reencarnado em DXD com sistema Naruto

Arthur was only 25 years old when he died in the stupidest way imaginable: trying to save a girl from being hit by a car. The problem? She wasn't actually going to be hit. The driver had already started braking. After discovering that he had died completely for nothing, Arthur finds himself standing before the God of Reincarnation, who can't stop laughing at his stupidity. But instead of leaving Arthur with nothing, the god decides to give him a second chance at life. Unfortunately, that second life will take place in a world far more dangerous than Arthur could have imagined: High School DxD. A world filled with demons, angels, fallen angels, gods, dragons, monsters, and beings powerful enough to destroy entire worlds. To help Arthur survive, the god gives him something extraordinary: a System based on another anime universe. Arthur spins the roulette. Naruto. Bleach. One Piece. Jujutsu Kaisen. Fate. Overlord. Arifureta... And, to Arthur's absolute horror, Boku no Pico. For a few terrifying seconds, it looks like his second life is about to become a nightmare. But fate—or perhaps sheer luck—intervenes. The roulette stops on Naruto. Now Arthur possesses a Shinobi System capable of granting him access to chakra, ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, fūinjutsu, the five basic chakra natures, Yin, Yang, Yin–Yang Release, and eventually multiple Kekkei Genkai. But power doesn't come for free. Arthur must train, fight, complete missions, and earn rewards based on their difficulty, ranging from D-Rank to S-Rank. His journey begins as a simple Genin. Then comes Chūnin. Jōnin. Elite Jōnin. Kage. Super-Kage. And perhaps, one day, the legendary Six Paths level. A level where Arthur could become a planetary-scale existence—one of the most dangerous beings in the entire DxD world. Between battles, adventures, romance, missions, new abilities, and countless dangerous encounters, Arthur will discover that his second life is anything but peaceful. He died like an idiot. Now he has to prove that he can become a legend. A second life. A powerful system. Infinite possibilities. And it all began with a roulette that almost stopped on the worst possible world.
