The Monster's Only Desire

supriya_shukla
The Valerith Empire claims it is protected by holy saints. That’s funny, considering how disposable people are here. I’m Lior Valen, second son of a Viscount—which is a polite way of saying I’m excess. Well dressed. Well educated and easily sacrificed. I also have a secret that would get me ruined if spoken aloud: I like men. I know this because I’ve lived once before, in a modern world where loving the wrong person didn’t come with a death sentence. That experience taught me an important lesson. Live quietly. Don’t stand out. Survive. Unfortunately, a masquerade ball ruined my entire plan. Because all terrible decisions are made at masquerade balls, someone suggested a game of truth and dare. I accepted a dare. I kissed a stranger. This was, in hindsight, a mistake. Because the stranger was the Monster of the North. Ruler of Skeldryn. Alleged executioner. A man rumored to kill anyone who touches him. I touched him. He did not kill me—which was unexpected. Instead, the monster became interested. Possessively so. He dragged me north, away from a lover who had already replaced me and a court that was more than happy to let me go. I followed—not out of courage, loyalty, or love. I followed because I enjoy being alive. Now I’m in Skeldryn, where saints are unreachable and monsters are persistent, and I’m beginning to suspect that surviving his attention might require more than luck. And possibly an exit strategy.

The Legendary Knight: Rise of the Primordial Dragon

Join discord: https://discord.gg/sxcx85Mta Twenty years ago, the Legendary Knight single-handedly ended the devastating War of Dragons, becoming humanity's greatest hero. In the remote countryside village of Grimwood, a boy named Vlad grew up chasing that legend with unwavering determination, driven by a promise he had once made to the moon. However, at sixteen, during the Awakening Ritual, he was branded a failure—awakening only a pathetic D-Rank talent that promised nothing but mediocrity. Yet while others mocked his impossible dream, Vlad refused to give up. Together with his childhood companion Chloe and the friends he would meet within the walls of Arcane Academy, he continued moving forward. What no one knew was that he had awakened something far greater than mere talent. [Legacy System Initialized... Welcome, Host.] As Vlad takes his first steps toward an impossible dream, ancient mysteries begin to unravel and primordial beings that have slumbered for countless ages slowly begin to awaken, their attention inexplicably drawn to Vlad, a D-Ranked boy. --- It's a slow-paced fantasy academy story filled with action, comedy, and a lot of heartwarming romantic moments that will leave you grinning under your blanket at night. No overexaggerated moments of everyone calling the MC pathetic or trash because of his talent. It's a one-time thing and then it's done. Once the protagonist proves his strength, he won't be mindlessly mocked. No over-the-top cliche drama of spoiled noble kids picking fights with the commoner MC in the academy. There are only mild moments to keep the story grounded in reality.

Genesis Sync

War between the different races almost destroyed their planet. Because of this, an agreement was struck that all major conflicts from then on would be fought in the alternate world of Genesis. A massive world spell was cast with the help of the Elves, Dragons and Fairies; while access bands that allowed people to enter Genesis were created by the Dwarves and Gnomes. However, since its inception, Genesis became more than just a replacement battlefield for the races to fight their wars; the advanced AI Tia turned into a true second world, a place where people could live, relax and go on adventures. John Michaels, an 18-year-old boy, is about to go through his Genesis initiation; however, when he doesn't log into the world for several months after the initiation, the Genesis AI Tia conducts an investigation into why that is. This investigation completely changes John's life, allowing his Genesis adventure to begin. ------------------------------------------------------------------- As this is my second story, the chapter release will be random because I do not wish to get overloaded writing two stories and working IRL.
