Every horizon has a story. Throughout the ages, people have kept records of events and individuals, true to fact or distorted for one reason or another. It's never easy to distinguish fact from fiction when it's just ink on a page. Experience is the only real way to know. That is what Jay had been after her entire life. Experience. To go out and see the world that was filled with magic. To see the land of floating waterfalls, underground cities lit by crystals and the land of mist. Unfortunately, she and her friends had to live vicariously through the leather bound journal of her Grandfather. Dreaming of adventure, journeys that would be worthy of a book all their own. They never imagined the war they'd find themselves in all because of that book.

In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.

I wrote this for EVERYONE. An introduction to my universe.Best for slow , attentive , close reading. Stick with it. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long ) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mystery and enjoy its intrigue.. The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world in inevitable finality. The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. What does it take to take everything? Every home, every name, every last trace of what once was. And who would do such a thing? And how? No one has ever seen anything that would make them believe in magic. Gamleon is the first to see and to survive. His mind near collapse under the strain, his heart broken. He runs. What would you do? What could anyone do? A world of mythological beasts and medieval men, where Gorgon hordes slither beneath the earth, clawing for metal, for power, for anything. But they come for your children. Opulent kings wage wars over things no one can even recall, blind to the coming obliteration. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out the cataclysm. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Our weary, world-worn adventurer is a paradox: terrifying perhaps, yet tender, grotesque but with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. With no choice but to navigate the unexpected Gorgon tunnels, his inner thoughts help us all learn how to persist and triumph in the face of impossible odds. Join him and be swept away as he reconciles never-before-seen innovations and insurmountable challenges. Dignity and hope. Self-respect and courage.

When a terminally ill young man awakens in the world of his favorite childhood game, he realizes he isn't the protagonist, the destined hero, or even a major side character. Instead, he has become an extra-a disowned noble barely clinging to relevance in a world where strength determines everything. Worse, his fate in the game was to die an meaningless death. Armed with only his knowledge of the game's storyline and a common system that tracks his stats and skills, he is determined to survive. But mere survival isn't enough. He remembers a hidden easter egg from a Eclipse vision-a power limited by game mechanics but unrestricted in reality. With voidstep as his trump card, he walks the fine line between fate and freedom, seizing power from the shadows while avoiding suspicion. As the protagonist and his allies battle against demons and unravel the game's grand destiny, he secretly builds his own strength-manipulating events, mastering forgotten arts, and even forging ties with villainous factions. Will he remain a footnote in history, or will he carve his own legend in a world that was never meant to be his?

Well, this wasn't exactly what Sebastian thought he was going to have to deal with when he came to this forest. He was looking for a werebear that had lost its mind somewhere out here. But now he seemed to stumble upon a werewolf instead. He must have been in really bad shape to be that far gone. He was glad that he had found the right song to sooth and calm him. Now that the beast's rage was gone, it was slowly transforming into a human form. He hadn't really dealt with werewolves that much. They usually knew how to handle themselves and conduct themselves accordingly with society. It made this one all the stranger of an experience. "It's okay, buddy," he pet its head. "You're alright now. Rest your head and know that you are safe." The beast's head was resting on his lap as he hummed softly at it. Petting ever so gently right between his ears, he watched as the beast relaxed, slowly turning into the human form that was connected to it. The face took the longest to shift, but the man looked so peaceful when Sebastian was able to see it. And then he saw the rest of the man that was laying partly on top of him. Oh no. He forgot that they aren't clothed when they shifted. A blush came to his cheeks as he forced his eyes to stay on the man's face. Dammit all. Why did this beast have to be so handsome? * Sebastian Julien Jean Dubois was a part of the most famous family of beast tamers in the entire European and Asian continent.

More challenging than that: Will he be able to do it without falling for the handsome beast? * Completed! 6/13/2022

Lost and without memory. That is how our protagonist awakens. Where was he? How did he end up there? Why was there no one like him? Why couldn't he remember anything? These were just some of the many questions that arose in the mind of the man who did not even know his own name. And so, he began a desperate search for a way out of that enigmatic place. But his mission would be anything but easy. Amid strange beings, talking birds, and a fate guided by a coin, he discovers the existence of an old sage-the only one who can help him find his way back. The wanderer would have to endure many trials to rediscover himself. Was there a final destination?

But when she discovers that Lord Voldemort is trying to take over the wizarding world, she vows to take him down; while keeping her identity secret. But some secrets can't be kept, and they can have disastrous consequences. NOTE FROM FUTURE: The chapters are way too short, its discontinued, the mc has no personality, written by a 12 yr old (why did I used to write like this) and I made the mc leave for any long scenes bc I couldn't be bothered writing them. Not worth it. Go find a good story (if u need help I have a reading list). Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, only my own OC's.
