With Silver and Iron

ReeviN
A world of magic, monsters, and different species, a world full of mysteries and possibilities. Sounds fun, right? Then how about war? Also sounds like fun. But what is so funny in hundreds of men killing each other because of conflict between two men with gold pieces on their heads? Do you think it's funny for those whose houses were burned to the ground, families hanged on the trees, or young girls ***** by the soldiers? In a world where humans are dominant, other races must be treated equally, with respect, right? No, they are not. In the territory of humans, they are living in ghettos, starving with little to no food, like rats in the cage. Not every fantasy world has to be a place where at the end of the rainbow there is a bucket of gold. Some of them are dark and rotten, with people caring only about themselves, a place where if not monsters or fellow neighbors, then war, starvation, or disease will take your life. But not everything is so hopeless, there are moments, places, and people truly beautiful that can make your life bearable or even give you a reason to live. This is the story of a man who was born in such a world, a man who was an outcast, despised by society, treated like things he slays to protect humans. "A necessary evil", as some priest once said. ….......…………………… A story has no definitive direction, it's just a way to pour my fantasies in. You may find a lot of similarities to the Witcher or Goblin Slayer or something else But in my defense! This is Fan Fiction! I can do it whatever I want (sort of). No updating schedule, writing this to just somehow past the time. The whole concept of this idea is the classic Light vs Dark, but in a setup more like the mentioned The Witcher and Goblin Slayer where it's not always about flowers and plushies, but a hard reality. The pic for the cover I've found is sick! I don't know the author but kudos to him/her!

The Duke's Unwanted Second Wife

**Mature Content** Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

The Architect of Anarchy

The ancient gods battled the eternal Void for decades, until they sacrificed themselves to weave a grand enchantment using the strings of existence. Before its imprisonment, the Void left behind an insidious whisper, a curse consuming all the realms, until only the Sacred Sanctuary remained.. Chaos Creatures were unleashed to wreck havoc upon the five sacred realms, and with them came the Noise. Every human born after the Age of the Gods becomes susceptible to the Eplialtic Weave–the cursed version of the Rune of Imprisonment rooted deep in the consciousness of every human being. Equipped with the vile system, heroes must arise to defend to few remaining humans against Chaos Creatures, the Noise and Corruption. ———— On his 16th birthday, Luke survives his Nightmare and becomes a Commonality – Tier 5 awakened warriors armed with miraculous abilities. Because he is a poor rat with a severely malnourished consciousness, he had never expected to survive the Nightmare and activate the Eplialtic Weave system inside him. He learns of the profane nature of his powers, and navigates the cosmos in search of the Truth. The Rune of Imprisonment is collapsing. It would only be a matter of time before the Void breaks free and wrecks havoc in the entire cosmos. The massive responsibility now falls on Luke's shoulders - he must make sure that the Void remains sealed forever, but he fails to account for one fatal flaw... ———— Discord://discord.gg/t8X7Gkd2
