The Feline Faction
""""Duty is heavier than a mountain, death lighter than a feather."Warning: Contains a whole bunch of stuff young'uns shouldn't be reading, like intense violence, graphic descriptions of gore, and some possibly controversial opinions. But hey, that might just be me.
8 351Faladel's Journey
After languishing as a prisoner of war for 22 years, Elven prince Faladel Mithrandir finally has a chance at freedom. Selected as one of the hundreds of prisoners sent to work the mines that power the Dwarven empire, usually a short, unpleasant death sentence, escape seems barely possible. Trusting the wrong people will get him killed and first impressions aren’t always accurate. Even if he escapes, it would take weeks of travel through war shattered lands with enemy soldiers around every bend before he reaches friendly territory. Betrayals and hidden friends, lost species and new discoveries, deep seated fears and Monsters of every form await him on his journey. Let the adventures begin!
8 144Despondent Divinity
There exists a Great Seal which split the world in two, one half ravaged by the Darkness, the other a safe haven of Light. Since the collapse of the old world, 20,000 years have passed, and the world watches on as their only protection from the Plague of Plagues slowly dissipates. Only the strong may survive the oncoming Demon horde, and the forgotten prince, Jack Calmira, fears he may not have what it takes. In a world where weakness is punished by death, what are weak men to do? Author's Note: Expect a chapter or two every month, but I'll get faster eventually. This story isn't a Wuxia, but it has a lot of eastern influence. The MC isn't OP and is flawed. Less action, more character driven. Constructive criticism would be appreciated as it's my first story. Chinese culture has inspired a lot of the novel, but much of it is an amalgamation of different cultures, some made up and some not. Think Xianxia + Shounen with a mix of western and eastern fantasy elements.
8 205Mighty Sword King
Mighty Sword King by ProudSmilingWanderer I will break the chains of hatred that confine me. I will cleave the earth, and all mountains and rivers and seas. I will pierce the sky, through every raindrop and cloud and thunderbolt. ... that is my Tao. I will pave path for my kin! Copyright © 2016. Marcus K. Reteike. All rights reserved.
8 178The Puppy Project
"Give me my puppy!" I demanded, my eyes ablazed with fiery anger."Correction, it's not your puppy. It's our puppy," He smiled, but it was anything but sweet nor happy."You know what? Damn you! You're nothing but a cold, emotionless, and heartless bad boy!" I sneered, glaring at him fiercely.He chuckled at my words, taking a step closer to me. He slammed his hand unto the wall, trapping me, before leaning in close. "You got that right sweetheart but I think you got one thing wrong." He said, his eyes piercing straight into mine."And what is that?" I managed to asked, my throat seeming to get drier the more he looked at me."I'm neither one of those when I'm with you," and with those words, slammed his lips into mine.#1 in Strong-Female Character - 1/29/21#1 in Sarcasm - 2/4/21#2 in BadBoy - 2/13/21#3 in Teen Fiction - 2/13/21#1 in Mysterious - 3/4/21Copyrighted 2017.
