Threads of Corruption [Book One: Iskarra Arc]

In the frozen world of Iskarra, hunter Nirvana only feels alive when she’s chasing a kill. But her tribe, the Glacians, are dying. The population is collapsing, and in desperation, the elders have opened their gates to the Eirvaleans, a people who have been kept at bay for centuries. The moment the outsiders arrive, the rot begins. First, the rite fails. Ice fractures where it should hold. Young initiates die without a visible cause. Ancient safeguards misfire, supplies spoil, and defenses weaken at critical moments. The Glacians blame the Eirvaleans, convinced it's sabotage. But Nirvana, along with her loyal but anxious friend Cai and her pragmatic sister Raisse, tracks a different trail: a corruption that preys on magic itself, spreading like a sickness no one remembers. As tensions rise, another threat stirs within the Eirvalean ranks, a vengeful outcast using the chaos to fuel a rebellion from the shadows. While the guards hunt for foreign spies and this hidden enemy fans the flames of fear, Nirvana’s hunt becomes a race against the dying light of her world. To save Iskarra, she must prove the real enemy isn't the newcomers—but a forgotten plague returning to finish what it started centuries ago. What to expect: –Action and tension that build gradually –Five distinct POVs, each revealing a different truth about the world –Full-length chapters (2,500 to 3,000 words) –Conflict that is emotional, political, environmental as well as physical –Depictions of violence and injury, including combat and non-graphic physical harm –Slow-burning relationships and evolving loyalties What feedback is most helpful: –Pacing –Clarity of worldbuilding without over-explanation –Which characters you connect with What this story is not: –Not a fast-paced action fantasy –Not a spell-based magic system –Not a romance-driven plot Some mysteries are meant to be confusing at first and will become clearer as the story unfolds. Thank you for reading. Take your time and enjoy the ride.

Vessel Of A Demon With A Demonic Harem

Khaine Morvex was orphaned at a young age, in Eldoria, a city where people lived in ignorance, believing the outside world was only a dangerous myth. He survived by stealing and hiding, learning early that weakness meant death. He had no future.             Hidden within his body was a relic he was unaware of, it was a sacred gear of an ancient beast, it grew stronger with every kill, with the wielder taking its full form when he or she knows how to control it.             The Ascension Academy’s guards had been tracking that power for months. When they found out about the wielder who was just a young orphan, instead of taking him quietly they did it with force, since khaine was stubborn, they took him there like a criminal.             In a massive hall, the masters of every rank stood in silence, staring down at the boy. An unseen voice spoke, explaining what he carried and what it meant. The Sacred Gear was dangerous power that could turn him into a weapon, or a monster. If he could not control it, he would be killed.         He was taken by an A-rank master. But that was not the end of his curse. Inside him, an even older and more unknown demon awakened. A forgotten god who he had forgotten he made a deal with, and now he is trying to take the demon powers with the help of his scared gear and his harem who desperately wanted to kill Khaine, and when he did claim them adding to his harem, the demon within still fights.

BLVCK WOLVES

A world of magic. A "mage" born without it. And an outrageous f*cking crew. In the Valley Kingdom, where steampunk meets futurism and magic means status, one Guild stands wildly apart: the Black Wolf Knights, or rather—the Black Wolves. Their leader, Greed, carries neither magic nor nobility, only a title he never wanted and a forgotten past. And his crew is as unhinged as they are loyal: A Ghost-mage whose eyepatch hides more than it covers. A powerhouse who hits like a Behemoth and naps for sport. A vice captain too keen for his own good... and who cooks like a master chef. A horned lunatic with zero sense of danger—because she is the danger. A cyborg. A wolfdog the size of a lyconbear. And others just as—if not more—chaotic. The Black Wolves survive on grit, loyalty, and a collection of insanely broken abilities. But when a conspiracy threatens to swallow the Kingdom—and pins the crime on them—they become fugitives in the very nation they swore to protect. Armed with a strange power that defies magic. A crew ready to leap off any cliff with him. And a memory fighting to resurface. Greed, the Black Wolves, and a few allies must face enemies the Kingdom never saw coming. The Valley never believed in them. But they might be their last hope. Expect: - Black Clover meets Final Fantasy meets JJK meets Vox Machina - NOT isekai, reincarnation (not in the way you think at least), evolution, system, or cultivation. Go look for that elsewhere - OP MC from the start with no magic [NOT ANTI-MAGIC], progressively gets even more OP - Harem relationships in the beginning, moderate fanservice and some sex scenes (hate me), and strong romance subplot towards the end with only one girl - Multiple perspectives from multiple characters - Intricate plot, tons of world building, character building, backstories, and fighting - A long, ongoing story Author's note: This book is only available on Royal Road, Webnovel, Scribble Hub, Inkitt, Wattpad, and featured on Chereads as well for the time being. If you're reading it anywhere else, it is entirely without my permission.
