Victims wake up trapped inside their own worst memories, forced to choose: confess their sins or face a punishment worse than death. No one knows his name. No one sees his face. But everyone remembers his grin. Detective Aarav, battling his own ghosts, is pulled into a cat-and-mouse chase where every move is a step closer to insanity.

Tristessa Irandell is a young woman with no memories of her past, who is thrown into another world without any explanation. Only to die. And live again. And die once again. Death and Rebirth. Loops and cycles. Pain and suffering. A path of fear and violence. Of Divine powers and thaumaturgy. Of blood and horrors lurking in every corner. A path that Tristessa will need to traverse if she wants to uncover the dark, evil truths behind her lost memories, and the tragedies that are bringing that new world, Nekrom, to the brink of collapse, under the hands of the terrible Shadow Queen... Here's a Spotify playlist that I'm making while thinking about DarkRE: Shadows of Nekrom. Enjoy! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4RCltbnEyuA0jyiUWWZszT?si=wsfn7XO9TGSnJoiqSiWjKA&pi=wFlnFr9CS3yoC

In a world where ancient powers and prophecies dictate the fates of men, Kael is a young warrior with a dark past. A survivor of the destruction of his village—a tragedy he has long believed was a random act of violence—Kael discovers the shocking truth that it was no accident. His village was destroyed as part of a much larger, more sinister plan. At the heart of this plan is Kael himself. Born under a rare celestial alignment, Kael is the fated Betrayer—a child of two worlds who will either destroy or save an ancient artifact known as the Heart of the Betrayer, a powerful force that has the potential to either reshape the world or plunge it into darkness. As Kael begins to uncover the mysteries of his origins, he is drawn into a web of ancient prophecies, gods, and dark forces that seek to control him. His journey takes him across war-torn lands, from the ruins of his home to forbidden temples hidden deep beneath the earth. Along the way, he is joined by allies like Liora, a fierce warrior and sorceress who believes in Kael's potential but fears the darkness growing within him. The closer Kael gets to the truth, the more his powers, fueled by the Void, threaten to overwhelm him. The Void is a force older than time itself, a manifestation of chaos and destruction, and Kael's connection to it is both his strength and his curse. He must battle not only the forces that seek to control him but also the very darkness within himself. Haunted by visions of the future, where he wields the Heart and becomes either a savior or the harbinger of doom, Kael must choose his path. But with every step, the prophecy seems to be driving him toward a terrible fate he cannot escape. Will Kael be consumed by the Void, or will he rise above the darkness and reshape his destiny? As ancient gods make their moves and the world teeters on the brink of destruction, Kael’s choices will determine the fate of all. Rise of the Fallen is an epic fantasy action novel that weaves together themes of fate, power, and choice, exploring the internal battle between light and dark. Filled with betrayal, ancient secrets, and unbreakable destinies, this story will keep readers on the edge of their seats, wondering what path the Betrayer will ultimately choose.

Magic was never meant to be known. When the wizarding world was exposed, Muggles did what they always do—fear, fight, and destroy. Nuclear fire consumed Hogwarts. Spells shattered nations. The world burned, leaving behind nothing but ashes and regret. But this war was never just about survival. Long before Muggles and Wizards clashed, another battle raged in the shadows—the Zion family, masters of time, against the Seers, chosen by fate itself. Betrayed and hunted, Zion fell. Their survivors hid, learning from their enemy, waiting for the right moment to strike. When they did, the world paid the price. Now, I am all that’s left. A lone survivor in a world beyond saving. But time is not set in stone. I will return to the past. I will change everything. Fate took everything from me. Now, it’s my turn to let the Wizarding world know who their true owner is... ---- Author's Notes: Dear Readers! I'd like to welcome you to my new creation. As to what to expect, let me give you more details so you won't be disappointed if it is not your cup of tea! - An alternate timeline: A lot of things happens as the prologue is in the future and all died ( The wizards and Muggles) except the protagonist. - Being in an alternate timeline, the dates may be a little bit off, but the story will mostly play out in the same time frame as the original. - Being an altered history, some main characters will not show up, and I mainly mean Harry, Ron, and Hermione ( As you had Noticed). Or any of the Original Movies Dumbledore supporting cast. (at least for a good portion of the story). For obvious reasons. If this is not what you want, please understand that I am going for a familiar yet different story than the original. I am taking inspiration from the original plot, but I am not planning mirroring it 1:1. - Of the returning characters, some may have altered personalities, although I will try my best to remain true to their book counterpart. (Which i am studying) But I will also think up "what would they have done" scenarios and modify their personality to match the alternative world we are in. I hope you will still enjoy it; that is my goal. To entertain you. - There is no transmigration, no isekai tropes, no reincarnation, He only has knowledge of in-lore events but that is for a Special Reason that you will read. The main character is someone who is born in-universe. - There will be a lot of Changes in the Wizarding Society and there will be a lot of Original Characters Showing up. - The Pairing Hasn´t been decided yet , but i can say this story isn´t a harem one.

It was supposed to be another story of a boy who dies on Earth under unfortunate circumstances. Summoned by the goddess of another world, granted exceptional powers, tasked with defeating the Demon King. A story of magic and fantasy, dwarves and elves, swords and blood, lovely allies and terrible foes. Monsters and men, heroes and villains, a tale told countless times. But there is a blip. An anomaly. A boy who is neither hero nor villain, neither sidekick nor mentor, but someone with no role at all. He wasn’t reincarnated. He wasn’t summoned. He just let himself in, a manaless man in a world of magic. Equipped with the knowledge that this world is nothing more than a [Story]. It’s just that he doesn’t want the story to be about him. He doesn’t want to meet the [Characters]. They’re just puppets on strings, dancing to the tune of another. But then he meets someone who is just as equally as lost as he is. Abandoned, abused, and all alone. She should just be another puppet, another doll, but here she is, clinging onto life. Despite having lost everything, she doesn’t want to let go just yet. Something in his heart twists. He extends his hand, she takes it, and suddenly, the story begins. Suddenly, there’s something that matters. This dream of a world may be more real than he thought. Maybe these puppets of people are more valuable than the strings that control them. But that remains to be seen.

A deal made by the dying Isaac. Betrayed. Hunted. Left to die. Isaac was nothing more than a lowly Class E farm boy, deemed worthless by the world. His life should have ended in that mysterious cave… Until an ancient voice called out to him. A being sealed for thousands of years offered him a choice: Fade into nothing… or give his body to the being so its soul could enter Isaac's body and use it to walk the earth once more. Now, with terrifying powers and a system guiding his path, Isaac will carve his name into history. Those who mocked him will cower. Those who abandoned him will beg for mercy. The weak are prey. The strong rule. And Isaac? He’s done being just a farmer. ------------------------------------------ Note: This novel has a support-type system (Mid-Level System) that doesn’t focus on too many numbers and stats. It doesn’t directly make the protagonist overpowered but provides information, and helps him grow stronger through his own actions. Isaac must rely on his skills, intelligence, and strategy to survive and evolve. The system will guide him, but it won’t fight for him...(But who knows? Maybe one day, he’ll become something more…)
