Fire and Frost

The words from the letter before him hit him hard, and he felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him, probably because it had. He could not believe what had been said in the letter, he could not believe the king would do such a thing, he knew the king was mad, but this? This was an act of pure lunacy, something only someone so depraved and insane could do. That he had done it not to just one person but to all of Brandon’s companions was something that shocked him. It showed just how far gone Aerys was, he was no longer the smiling and charming man of his youth, in his place gods Rickard did not know what he was. As if trying to shake of the fear and the horror or rather trying to confirm it he spoke. “Can you read the letter again Maester Walys?” The maester who had been in Winterfell for as long as Rickard could somewhat remember looked at him sorrowfully and spoke once more. “In the name of his most royal highness King Aerys Targaryen, second of his name King of the Seven Kingdoms, we do hereby announce the death of Brandon Stark heir to Winterfell and son of Lord Rickard Stark. Lord Brandon proved to be treasonous beyond measure and threatened not only the life of our son and heir Prince Rhaegar, but has also been plotting to remove us from our gods given throne. For these crimes, we sentenced Brandon Stark to death by fire. We do hereby request that Lord Rickard Stark come with his children to renew his fealty to the throne, and to show us that he is not a traitor unlike his son.” If you enjoyed this Fanfic and want to read more, please consider supporting me on Patreon for advanced chapters!

A Different Middle-earth: A King's Tale

[ CURRENT STATUS: 350,653 Words] [ Status: Ongoing - Long Chapters (2500-3500 words each) ] --- There are thousands of worlds, each with its own stories and legends. Every storyteller has a different motive: some seek power and wealth, others love and revenge. Some strive for adventure and passion, while others fight for justice and peace. In one of these many worlds—a distorted version of Middle-earth—a young man’s journey begins. However, the peace of this day is a deception. Our hero was once an ordinary teenager who died protecting a friend in a gang fight. He wakes up to find himself in a Middle-earth that is vastly different from the tales he knew. In this realm, Elves, Humans, and Dwarves share the land with darker shadows: Vampires, Liches, Werewolves, Hydras, and Basilisks. The history of this world is not what was told in the books. While our hero sets out for the Shire to find Gandalf and Thorin, he acquires a Kingdom Building System, turning his survival mission into an epic quest to carve out his own destiny. --- ⚠️ WARNING FOR TOLKIEN PURISTS: This is a Radical Alternative Universe (AU). While the foundation of this world is built upon Tolkien’s original work vast parts of history and lore have been fundamentally rewritten. You will encounter familiar landmarks and themes, but the origins of races like Orcs and Dark Elves, and the inclusion of entirely new creatures, mark a deep departure from the original books. Fanfiction is about exploration and "What if" scenarios. If you are looking for a story that strictly adheres to the established canon, this is NOT for you. If you want the original story, the books are always there to be reread. --- What to expect: Grounded MC: No overpowered protagonist. Success is earned, not given. No Harem: While the MC remains loyal to one person, you might encounter side characters or world elements where harems exist. Strategic System: The system is for management and kingdom building, not a "cheat code" for instant strength. Complex Hero: A slightly chaotic yet serious protagonist. A Multiverse Twist: Potential appearances from different anime universes and John Flanagan’s works. Alternative Universe: This is a radical departure from the original Hobbit and LOTR canon. Strictly no LGBT content. –Broadcast schedule: Sunday, (one episode per week) --- the world where the novel takes place is middle earth as seen in the hobbit and lord of the rings books. [author of the books: john ronald reuel tolkien] but i made some changes. sites that are my sources of information about the world: for map: lotrproject.com/ for information: tolkiengateway.net also some characters from john anthony flanagan books will be in my novel.

Surviving A Novel I Don't Remember: A Tutor's Guide To Staying Alive

"If I can just stay under the radar, I might survive the final chapter." Kim Jowoon woke up in a novel world as the illegitimate fourth son of a marquis, Julian Von Astrea, and it looked like every single character hated him. It was a world where everyone looked like a protagonist—shining eyes, tragic backstories, destiny practically dripping off them. Everyone except him. He didn't even get a script. Then the Affection System popped up and crushed his hopes in one clean line of text: every so-called “hero” in the capital had a solid 0% interest in his continued existence. Naturally, Julian did the most reasonable thing possible—he ran. Straight into the safest job he could think of: tutoring the young son of the Empire's most reclusive (and famously cold) Duke. The plan was foolproof. Win over the kid, stay invisible, collect a fat paycheck, and live long enough to die of old age instead of plot relevance. It didn't go smoothly at first. The child never spoke, the Duke barely appeared, and Julian briefly wondered if he'd chosen the wrong kind of death. But somehow… it worked. The Duke's son quickly warmed up to him. Lessons became warm and fun moments, and silence turned into trust. And even stranger, the Duke's affection level didn't just rise—it skyrocketed into something Julian absolutely had not planned for. For the first time since transmigrating, he felt safe. Then the Emperor began to interfere, so much that he became a madman to Julian. Julian thought he could live quietly. Well... He thought wrong. In this world, his life was never meant to be quiet and everything revolves around him.
