Alternate Universe

For centuries, the Free Kingdoms of the North stood unbroken beneath the bat-crested banner of House Von Caerstein. But peace shattered the night the enemy kingdoms unleashed a forbidden horror, the Malcor, a vampiric beast born of ancient sorcery. When the Malcor slaughters King Hadrian and his Hungarian-born queen, Isolde of House Zalvári, the realm is thrust into chaos. At the height of the invasion, the four royal brothers, Cassian, Edric, Darius, and Aurelius rode into battle to defend their homeland. Victory comes with staggering loss, and though the Malcor is driven away, only Aurelius discovers the truth of how to wield their family's sacred crest against the creature. Threatened by the revelation that Aurelius may be the rightful king, the brothers conspire in darkness. They use his beloved, Betrothed Maria, as vengeance to claim the crown. but the plan spirals into tragedy when Maria is brutally killed by the Malcor. Consumed by grief and vengeance, Aurelius hunts the beast alone and slays it, but not before he is bitten and cursed by its dying fang. Aurelius returns to the castle forever changed no longer human, but the first of a new breed of vampire. Driven by betrayal, rage, and the Malcor’s corruption burning in his blood, he unleashes a massacre within the castle walls, wiping out his brothers and every living soul who once called him kin. Now, atop the Carpathian Mountains, the ancient fortress stands drenched in the ghosts of its past ruled by a king who was made, not born. A king forged from love, loss, and bloodshed. A king whose legend will echo through the ages. Thus begins the rise of Aurelius the 1st the last prince of Caerstein, and the first vampire of the North.

At the dawn of creation, two supreme forces were born—Nature and Chaos. One nurtured life. The other sought to destroy it. To shatter creation, Chaos raised a ruthless prodigy to wage war against the universe. But fate chose its own champion: Tristan, an orphan dragon granted the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline and the Eternal Dragon God Manual. He rose to become the First Guardian—only to sacrifice himself in a battle that shattered realms. Chaos survived. Reincarnated as Bradley Wright Lane, a mortal teenager with sealed memories, Tristan must rise once more—ascending through realms of power to face the ancient enemy reborn. This time, the war will not end in sacrifice. This time, Chaos must die.

The god is dead, but its memory is hungry. Three thousand years ago, the god Tharos fell. Today, his fossilized remains—the Lorn Expanse—serve as the lifeblood of an empire. In the shadow of the Ribs of Lorn, the Empire of the Spine mines god-bone and harvests aetherich to power a civilization of brass and gears. But for those who toil in the dust, the cost of progress is madness. Kael is a survivor of the bone mines, forever changed by a catastrophic collapse in Chamber 19. While others died from the weight of divine essence, Kael woke with the "hum" in his blood. He now hears the frequencies of the dead god and tastes memories trapped in the dust—a gift that feels more like a slow-acting poison. He wants only to survive the grueling life of a scavenger, hiding the resonance that marks him as different. Everything changes when he encounters Ilara, a woman whose voice carries a power that shouldn't exist. She is a Vessel, capable of singing raw god-bone into life, and she is being hunted by the Empire’s mechanical enforcers. The Empire has spent centuries trying to stabilize divine energy, but Kael and Ilara represent something they cannot control: a living connection to a waking god. As the "Thrice-Born" prophecy stirs and the ground beneath the salt flats vibrates with a terrifying new rhythm, the two must flee toward the heart of the god’s corpse. In a world where technology is fueled by the sacred and bone-tech determines the hierarchy of man, Kael and Ilara must decide if they are the harbingers of a new era or the final echoes of a dying god's scream. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/869094/fictions

You want to know what didn't seem right? She got into her favourite novel but it was the olden days era. Ah!the olden era and she was actually playing the role of a girl who was hated by someone she loves. You know, Jasmine's crush was the ML of the novel. And then she getting into the novel and playing the role of enemy is.... Again,she woke up and found herself in a hospital bed. And this time it was the actual novel. Isn't that a bliss? She was her playing her own damn role. Intriguing right? A secret!What's it? A change again occurred in the novel. The novel she read was a contemporary romance but this time it turned to Fantasy. The novel turned to a book that the ML and other characters were not humans but something else...... Something mysterious, something gruesome

"Who am I?" Waking up in an unfamiliar room with no past memories, an unfamiliar man greets him, claiming to be his new guardian, Ifeus Lero, who then tells him... "Your name is...Topaz Oriole." A world of Magic and Monsters, where those who wield Magic are known as Mages. Every Mage, without exception, falls under one of eleven Classes, each with their own unique forms of Magic; Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Dark, Space, Physical, Support, Tamer and Sneak. As for Topaz, his amnesia isn't his only concern. His Class isn't one of the eleven established Classes, something that's completely unheard of. The Wrath Class, a mysterious Class absent in the history books. Advised to keep his abilities hidden for the time being, Topaz avoids using his Magic in front of others. However, Ifeus's secrecy soon becomes a growing point of frustration for Topaz...it's clear that Ifeus knows about his past, but refuses to tell him anything about it, along with hiding the real reason why it's imperative for Topaz to keep his Class hidden. Even as Topaz settles into his life post-amnesia, forming friendships, rivalries and romance, the dark shadow cast by the mysteries of his forgotten past continue to haunt him. With flashes of fragmented memories, and some common sense, Topaz comes to the conclusion that, whatever he went through pre-amnesia, was likely far from pleasant. And unfortunately for him, the dark, broken past he has no memory of isn't the only issue to contend with. An organization bent on world domination makes its presence known, and operating in the shadows, is a dangerous cult determined to resurrect a powerful, malicious entity who nearly destroyed the world centuries ago and was sealed away. And at the center of it all...is the Fractured Mage, Topaz Oriole.

“They should cut your hands off before the next ceremony. Why let trash touch the Awakening Stone?” Dante Moretti is the disgrace of Saint Lucian Academy. In a world where power decides status, wealth, and survival, Dante is worse than weak—he is nothing. The Awakening Stone doesn’t glow for him. The examiners laugh behind his back. Students spit insults every time he walks through the halls. “Even stray dogs have instincts,” Renzo Cavalli sneers. “But you? You were born useless.” Every day, Dante endures the humiliation in silence. Being shoved into lockers. Having food dumped over his head. Listening as students compare him to worms beneath their shoes. Because if he quits the academy, his little sister Lucia loses her chance at a future. Then the sky splits open. Monsters descend upon the city, slaughtering everything in sight. Lucia fights to protect innocent people, but a D-rank Blightbearer tears through her defenses and lunges for her heart. Without thinking, Dante steps in front of her. The claw punches through his chest. Blood spills across the road. And the world changes. His blood rises into the air. A forbidden voice echoes inside his skull— [Mother System activated.] When Dante opens his eyes again, they burn gold. The monsters freeze. The air trembles. And the boy everyone called worthless smiles for the first time in years. “You spent your whole lives looking down on me,” he whispers. “Now learn what it feels like to kneel.” Three D-rank monsters disappear from existence in a storm of crimson light. Now the same academy that mocked him fears him. The same elites who treated him like dirt suddenly want his loyalty. But Dante hasn’t forgotten the laughter. And this time… the weakest boy in the world is no longer asking for acceptance.

The world isn’t what it seems. A young man who survives the end of his species embarks on a journey to uncover the truth of the world. What will he encounter on his journey? Will it lead to a happy ending or eternal damnation?

A map that can erase nations. A man who can rewrite existence with a pen. And a world teetering on the edge of oblivion. Sael Corin, a discredited mapmaker, holds a power no one should wield, the Null Atlas. Every stroke of his hand redraws reality, erasing cities, bloodlines, and memories. Nations hunt him. Rebels need him. And the atlas is beginning to write itself. In a high-fantasy world where ink is stronger than swords, Sael must navigate moral peril, political intrigue, and a sentient map that refuses to obey. Every chapter could change the world forever… and the question is, will he survive what he creates?

Mercy is a luxury when currency of survival is lifespan. Crackle . . . hiss . . . boom . . . rain falls on corpses. The storey opens on the mountain of the dead - the last battlefield of the human race. Li Wei, who is a broken man under the curse of accelerated ageing, stands among the ruins of the Ancient God. His shaking hands hold a divine artefact - The Eye of Judgement. His body decays. His breath comes out in broken gasps - huff, cough, splat. And then… betrayal. The only family he's ever had - his sister, Li Xue - looks coldly on as she drives the dagger deeper into his chest. Thud… hiss… crackle… She calls him "nothing but an adopted mistake." A man named Yang Xun, brilliantly like an idol of deceit, thanks him mockingly. That's when Li Wei realises - the world doesn't reward love. It rewards survival. When he dies, something ancient is roused inside The Eye of Judgement. And when he opens his eyes again - it's 2025, the day the god forsaken game, LYTABern, descends upon Earth.

I was born the third son of the empire's most powerful bloodline, destined to be nothing. No magic, no talent. Just a weakling, a stain on my family's name. My older brothers awakened powers that could shape kingdoms, while I was mocked, ignored, and treated as disposable, and in my family, weakness isn't forgiven. In my awakening ceremony, I nearly died, but the magic system changed my life forever! 'Forbidden System Detected. Condition Met: Host on Brink of Death. Initializing Evolution Protocol…' A power long sealed within the royal bloodline chose me, the powerless one. A system that feeds on my pain, breaks the limits of my body and soul, and evolves me beyond what this world allows. No magic? It will create one. No talent? It will forge one. No future? It will build one. I will become the one whom they have never seen coming!
