Blood of the Shattered Oath

In the serene world of Aeloria, where mana-infused gardens bloom under endless azure skies, young Kael Draven shares a quiet moment with his childhood friend, Lira Veyne. Amid laughter and shared dreams, Kael vows to protect her forever, jesting that he'd fend off even a demonic invasion. But as they enjoy their picnic, the heavens fracture with a deafening crack, birthing a rift from which a nightmarish army emerges. Led by the enigmatic Abyssal Tyrant—a cosmic entity hungry for multiversal domination—the demons descend in a torrent of fire and shadow, obliterating cities, forests, and civilizations in mere hours. Kael watches in horror as his family is brutally slain before him, his home reduced to ashes, and Lira is lost in the pandemonium. In his final act, Kael's father—a secretive mage guarding ancient secrets—thrusts the glowing Aetheric Relic into his son's hands, whispering, "Keep it safe, live well, and seek the truth." With a desperate spell, he teleports Kael through a swirling portal to Zytherion, a harsh realm of floating citadels, storm-ravaged wilds, and ruthless factions vying for power. Awakening in a dense forest, Kael's grief ignites the relic, fusing it with his body and awakening Aetheric Fury—a volatile power that surges with his rage, granting fiery energy blasts, enhanced strength, and telekinetic surges. But this gift is a double-edged sword, threatening to consume him if uncontrolled. Stranded and hunted by demonic scouts who sense the relic's aura, Kael stumbles upon a group of teenagers under attack, his newfound power erupting to slay the beasts before he collapses. Rescued by Mira, a resourceful scavenger, and her adoptive father Toren, a battle-hardened guild leader, Kael joins their Dawn Guild—a band of survivors fighting Zytherion's monsters and cults. As he trains to harness Aetheric Fury, flashbacks haunt him: Lira's gentle smile, his father's cryptic warnings, and the weight of his shattered oath. Whispers from the relic reveal deeper mysteries—the Abyssal Tyrant's invasions span realms, and Lira, with her own latent abilities, may be the "Key" to sealing the rifts. Driven by vengeance and redemption, Kael forges uneasy alliances, battles treacherous guilds like the Iron Covenant, and uncovers his father's betrayal: Eldrin may have aided the Tyrant to save Kael from a foretold doom. As demonic incursions escalate, threatening Zytherion and beyond, Kael must venture into the Abyss—the Tyrant's warped domain—to rescue Lira and confront cosmic horrors. In this epic tale of survival, betrayal, and unbreakable bonds, will Kael master his fury to rebuild his world, or will the multiverse fall to eternal darkness? Ideal for fans of isekai epics like The Beginning After the End and intricate mysteries like Lord of the Mysteries, Blood of the Shattered Oath weaves heart-pounding action, emotional depth, and world-shattering stakes into a serialized adventure where every promise is forged in fire.

Path of Rage

In a valley lies a city known as Alagon. Just like many other cities, there was potential that was waiting to be unleashed, if only one would have the desire. From this city, an orphaned elf named Yorrin grows to be a great Hero, one rivaling only legends. Becoming a guild member, he formed a party known as the Dire Pack, composed of some of the greatest in the guild. And with the threat of Hell's army on the rise, they would have their work cut out for them. Especially the young elf's best friend, Sier. He was born with a skill that nobody knew of, much less how it could even be used. He knew from a young age that he would have trouble being a guild member, but that wouldn't stop him. He would be at his friend's side until the end. At least, that's what the two of them wanted... X This is my first attempt at one of those fantasy world novels, so issues are to be expected. Basic rundown is it's a slight extension of your average fantasy story (minus the extremely long and convoluted name). It includes the much loved holographic system screens for the characters to use, dragons, a guild, and probably a hot elf lady somewhere in there. (I even got the classic AI generated image for the cover! Am I in the club, yet?) =No Harem =Writing as I go, having fun =Might be in over my head with this one =MC won't be immediately broken beyond belief =Trying not to be too stereotypical, but I'll probably fail that X If you do enjoy reading this, I'll see about making more. This isn't in any way intended to be my main story, just a fun side project. Feedback and criticism is heavily appreciated, just try to be nice about it. Thanks for checking this out! -Inconsistent Creator (Disclaimer: I DO own these characters AND this world! Suck it, corporations!) updates may be weekly or biweekly, depends on what I'm feeling.
