Child of Fate: The Enforcer
4.93
From the beginning of time, the two clans, Deva clan and Asura clan waged war against each other, where Deva's claimed to be on the righteous side whereas the Asuras were deemed to be evil as they committed atrocious acts of butchering innocent lives, meddling in the auspicious events of sages, etc., and staking claim on the throne of Deva Lok. The war has destroyed lives and various Lok's, in the end the three Supreme Gods (God Brahma the Creator, God Vishnu the Preserver and God of Gods who is also known as the Mahadev or God Shiv the Destroyer) had to intervene to stop the senseless war providing the much-needed relief to the common populace of God Realm. All the Deva Clan Members along with Devaraj Indra to the Tridev: "Namostu te Vedagarbha, Sarvavidya Pradayaka" (Salutations to the one who holds the Vedas and grants all knowledge), "Om Namo Narayanaya" (Salutations to Lord Narayana), "Om Namah Shivaya" (Salutations to Shiva, the auspicious one). While the Asuras in the leadership of their leader and Guru, Guru Shukracharya performed Shastanga Namaskara as they did worship God Brahma but for the boons he will give and the Asuras had a particular dislike for God Vishnu as he favors the cosmic balance and is on the righteous side i.e., Devas side but they still showed the much needed respect for one of the supreme beings and Asuras were devoted believer of Mahadev as he is the only one impartial among the three supreme gods. God Vishnu said "Devaraj Indra why must you continue this senseless war with the Asuras? You are King of Gods, King of Swarg Lok then what more do you need from the Asuras when they are confined to their Paataal Lok." Devaraj Indra said with respect "Lord Vishnu it was them who were creating chaos among the sages intervening in the sage's meditation and destroying livestock, so I had to confront them." Hearing Devaraj Indra slandering the Asuras in front of the Three Supreme Gods while not mentioning the mistreatment of Asuras done by Devas, the Asura Guru Shukracharya too said " Mahadev you have to uphold justice for the Asuras, we were just banished to the Paataal Lok from the beginning while the Devas got to rule the Swarg Lok. Why can't we Asuras get the same treatment as they do? And this war was started by the Asuras and Devas jointly but only we are blamed here." Hearing the Asura Guru Shukracharya, the Three Supreme Gods were too taken back as they too were not able to judge them with full impartiality so, Mahadev decided on a solution and solemnly announced among the Asuras and Devas "Very soon we Three Supreme Gods will bring into being a new force which will be born far away from here among the humans and his very journey will shape him to be the bearer of justice for all of the creation. He will be the embodiment of impartial justice whether to the Asuras or Devas for he will judge the being on the basis of his karma so I will warn all of you now that you should be careful of what karma you sow as you will soon be dealt with your karmafal." And so, the war of Asuras and Devas came to a pause. This is the story of a boy whose destiny was written before he was born, his very being was conceptualized but the Supreme Gods as he was born with the fraction of the three Supreme Gods. **It's my second novel as the first one is on pause as I am out of further plot for that one but this will be a blast because it is based on my cultural myth but there will be some changes so you can say it's my original work just taken some inspiration from the myths so whoever is reading and if he knows about the original history then don't criticize me for making the changes as I am writing a novel and I, in my full conscience am very respectful of the Gods and our culture.** -
Broken Spear of the Gods
Wyll was back in the void of swirling grey, his head throbbing and only his heart seemed to echo in this void. "Wyll of the Purple Dragoons, you have been chosen to be my champion! Arise, champion of Chaos! Forge ahead in this war and rise to the top! I expect good things to come from you." A beacon of swirling greys and radiant red pulsed off Wyll as he rose from the rubble, the pain fading as he met eyes with the man who helped him in the alley. Tied to each was a silver thread, each exchanging glances as Askalon took a bow. "I am Askalon. I hold not the title of First Forged but something else. I am the First Mistake, the oldest living Weapon. I accept you as my Wielder O Champion of Chaos!" Everyone turned to Wyll, his eyes shining brightly as he took the hand of Askalon. The Weapon's form changed shape as, with worry, his acquaintances glared at him; the only Destroyer, Chaos, had chosen a champion. [[Welcome Wielder, I am Pandemonium, Pan for short. I am an entity tailored by Chaos for you, and it is my objective to assist you in 'The Battlefield of the Gods!' Pan will be fully operational shortly]] -
The Ascendancy of Dracula
A random fellow is reincarnated as a vampire, specifically Dracula, in a fantasy world. But he is not just a vampire, he is also something far greater. A/N : This is just a try, might fail, might succeed, who knows. I sometimes get creative and sometimes just straight up lazy, so expect some strange and inconsistent chapters, that is if I run out of "creative" ideas. Chapters upload or update or whatever aren't really "scheduled", when I feel like it I'll upload. One more thing, you will see minor, almost no grammatical mistakes. Although, some minor spelling mistakes will most likely be there. Any art I use as a reference is not mine, unless stated so. If the artist wants said art removed, just say so and I will happily oblige... with proof you are the artist. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com -
The Legend of Shadow Knight
Hello my dear Earthlings, It is official now. From December 16, 2023, the Gregorian calendar I am an earthling too. It is not because I was born on that day. Rather, because I was reborn that day. I am what you call a transmigrator. I am now occupying the body of the earthling named Tej. He was struggling as a writer while stewing in a full-time day job that he hated. Yes, you read it right. I am a transmigrator. Very much like the ones you have read about in other novels on this platform. I am from a world completely different from Earth. But I am sure that most of you who are reading this are familiar with a world like that. It is the world of magic. A world with mana, mages, knights. Rogue bandits, dark forces, demonic beasts, divine churches. Familiar, isn’t it? As you might have guessed, because of mana’s presence an individual can get way too powerful. Our development is focused on Mana. In a way most of our methods of travel, the tools of war, and many more are very much archaic. Our world’s power revolves around a few powerful individuals who rule over millions. Because those few individuals hold the power to destroy millions within their bodies. In that world people with talent and power aim to be the strongest and fight for what they want. In that world, I was born with decent talent. But I wasn't obsessed with power. I was obsessed with the stories. Stories and legends of great heroes, villains, and monsters passed from generations. With that fascination, I cultivated my talents to the fullest potential. I dreamt of traveling the world and unearthing the legends. I wanted to make them known throughout the world. Just like the former Tej, I wanted to be a storyteller as well. And unlike Tej, I have had some success. From the first exploration I embarked to capture the story of the Golden Knight capturing the Draconic Shark, I have covered many stories. Including the legend of the shadow knight, the revenge of the fallen angel, the conquest of the forgotten land and many more. I have followed those events, investigated them and even seen some, met the people involved in it. I wrote those stories so the rest of the world could read them. I did all of that along with a special innovation of mine that could capture images. It does the same job as the thing that you call a camera. In your world, I am what you might consider an investigative journalist. I spent my whole life exploring stories. I have seen my world change bit by bit. I have seen one man destroy it, another man rebuild it, a several trying to preserve it and many more trying to conquer it. It is safe to say I had a great and meaningful life. When I was lying on my deathbed at an old age, I had a smile on my face as I looked at the world outside of my window. I knew I was dying with no regrets. Next thing I knew, I am in the body of this young man, Tej. I got accustomed to this new world with no mana, no magic, but equally convenient if not more, I must say. As much as I was fascinated by the novel inventions and the busier-than-god lifestyles, I was saddened by Tej’s life. I can only say, that he didn’t die the same way that I did. He died a life full of regrets, all the sorrow he suppressed within… In a way, death must have been a release for him and I wish all the peace for his soul. And I found my purpose. To honor the soul of Tej, I shall tell the stories of my world to you on his behalf and in his name. I shall make his name known as a great storyteller. (Note: So, keep my transmigration part a secret. Let’s just keep it between us.) And I will start with my first story. The Legend of the Shadow Night. Its a story of one man's ambition, one man's loss and one man's retaliation. So, interpret as you may and make a judgment on your own. Disclaimer: For convenience sake, I will use Tej as my name in the Story as well. -

the path seeker
In the vast and mystical realm of Qi'an, where celestial energies intertwine with the essence of the natural world, our protagonist, Shen Wei, emerges as a cultivator of unparalleled intelligence. Gifted with a profound understanding of the cosmos, Shen Wei embarks on a journey to not only master the arts of cultivation but also to unravel the mysteries of the true self. The world of Qi'an is a tapestry of diverse landscapes. The Azure Peaks, towering mountain ranges shrouded in ethereal mist, house ancient monasteries where sages meditate on the essence of existence. The Crystal Lotus Plains, adorned with luminous flora, are home to nomadic tribes whose whispers carry the secrets of forgotten realms. Shen Wei's first revelation comes atop the Celestial Pillar, a towering spire that reaches into the heavens. "To master the external, one must first fathom the internal," he learns, unlocking the power to harmonize his inner energies with the forces of the universe. This wisdom enables him to perceive the true self, unlocking abilities that transcend the limitations of ordinary cultivation. As Shen Wei delves deeper into the intricacies of Qi'an, he encounters characters whose stories are woven into the very fabric of the world. Mei Ling, a stoic scholar with a tragic past, seeks redemption through the pursuit of forbidden knowledge, while Captain Juro, a seasoned warrior, battles not only external foes but also the shadows within his own heart. The power dynamics in Qi'an are governed by the Five Celestial Elements—Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Ether—each granting unique abilities to those who master them. Shen Wei, with his intellectual prowess, combines these elements seamlessly, creating a fusion of power that transcends traditional cultivation boundaries. Amidst political intrigue and ancient prophecies, Shen Wei unearths the forgotten history of Qi'an, discovering that the realm's destiny is intricately tied to the harmony between mortal cultivators and the celestial forces. His journey becomes a quest to not only empower himself but to forge alliances that will safeguard Qi'an from an impending cosmic imbalance. As Shen Wei's journey unfolds, the characters around him evolve, their thoughts and struggles adding depth to the overarching narrative. In a world where the line between ally and adversary blurs, Shen Wei's intelligence and understanding of the true self become his most potent weapons against the encroaching darkness threatening to engulf Qi'an. -

SSS Class Aspect Reaver
[System Notification] Congratulations! You have discovered the Trial Gate of Izanagi. Do you wish to enter and face the trial? Warning: This trial is dangerous and may result in death. [Yes] | [No] Seventeen-year-old Akira Kageyama barely had time to process the blue screen flashing before his eyes as he stared at the massive, ornate door that had inexplicably appeared in the middle of Ueno Park. Moments earlier, he had been rushing to school, his mind preoccupied with upcoming exams, but the sudden earthquake and the mysterious pillar of light shooting up into the sky had drawn him here. Around him, the park was eerily quiet, but in the distance, the world was far from peaceful. A store TV displayed a news report in its window, catching Akira’s eye as he passed by. The anchor’s voice was tense, describing the chaos gripping the planet: massive earthquakes in California, tsunamis swallowing entire coastlines, and hurricanes battering cities that had never seen a storm before. Akira’s gaze shifted back to the gate. He hesitated only briefly before pressing [Yes]. The door swung open, revealing a twisted landscape of shadow and mist. The oppressive atmosphere pressed down on him as he stepped forward, leaving the world he knew behind. The faint echo of Izanagi’s voice reverberated through his mind, a reminder of the god’s challenge and the deadly stakes. But Akira was not alone. Across the world, countless others were being drawn into similar trials—each gate linked to a different mythological figure, each trial a test of their will, strength, and cunning. The world was unraveling, and these trials were humanity’s last hope for survival—or its final undoing. -
