Bags of salt, spices and sugar stacked from inside the shop all the way out into the streets. Merchants loaded with goods going flooded the streets with their carriages. The air was filled with fragrances emanating from all manner of spices. It was a prosperous, lively city at the side of the oasis. Sounds of metals being hammered and threads being woven were heard all over the place, as smiths and craftsmen were busy at work in their respective workshops. The banner of the successor of the Kingdom of Swadia—Baron Kant—was hanging on the city gates. The citizens lived peaceful, happy lives, revering their lord from the bottom of their hearts. Soldiers on the city walls armed with crossbows stood guard over the city, and footmen wearing mail armor patrolled the streets.  The place was one of peace and security.

Na linha de frente da guerra, há uma garotinha. Cabelos loiros, olhos azuis e pele branca de porcelana, ela comanda o exército com voz doce. Seu nome é Tanya Degurechaff, mas na realidade ela é uma das assalariadas de elite do Japão, renascida como uma garotinha após irritar um ser misterioso X que se autodenomina "Deus".

Meet Eren Idril, just your average Joe trying to navigate a world that's gone full sci-fi bonkers. We're talking flying cars, holographic pets, the whole shebang. But here's the kicker: amidst all the flashy gadgets and mind-bending tech, there's something even more mind-blowing going on—mana. Now, this ain't your run-of-the-mill magic trick. Nope, mana's the real deal, and only the elite, the cream of the crop, the Rankers, get to play with it. They're basically like the cool kids in high school, but with superpowers and a really fancy title. But here's where things get spicy. While everyone's busy flexing their mana muscles and living it up in this brave new world, there's trouble brewing on the horizon. Like, end-of-humanity kind of trouble. Turns out, Earth ain't the safe haven it used to be, and now folks are scrambling to find a new place to call home. Enter Eren Idril, the ultimate underdog in a world full of heroes and villains. He's not your typical protagonist, more like the guy you'd find chilling in the background, minding his own business. But when he stumbles upon a power that everyone else thinks is busted, well, let's just say things are about to get interesting. - Grayback

Synopsis: The Bastion of the Twelve ​The Bastion of the Twelve is a sweeping, serialized epic that explores the themes of absolute possessiveness, domestic survival, and the legacy of blood. Spanning over eighty-five years, the narrative follows the lives of Xuan and Ning, two souls who abandon the hollow prestige of the city and the "obsidian throne" to build a private, fortified dynasty atop a rugged mountain estate. ​The Core Conflict ​The novel is driven by the tension between the world they left behind—characterized by "rivals," "ghosts of the past," and "city filth"—and the rigid, self-sufficient reality they create. Xuan, a man of iron will and extreme devotion, acts as the architect and protector, while Ning, the emotional anchor, provides the "sabr" (patience) and grace required to endure decades of isolation. ​Narrative Arc ​The Foundation: The early chapters establish their retreat to the mountain, where Xuan meticulously replaces the fragility of modern life with "iron-reinforced" structures and "lead-weighted" stability. ​The Expansion: As the story progresses, the couple raises a son and a daughter—twins—who eventually bring their own partners and children into the fold. The mountain becomes a micro-civilization, featuring its own forge, weave-room, observatory, and library. ​The Late Years: By age eighty, Xuan and Ning witness the "Quadruple Quickening," as four women in the family (their daughter-in-law and granddaughters) become pregnant simultaneously. ​The Legacy: The novel culminates at age eighty-five with the arrival of six great-grandchildren—three sets of twins—mirroring the original twin birth of Xuan and Ning’s own children. ​Themes and Style ​The novel is written in a highly rhythmic, evocative style where every chapter consists of exactly 50 lines. It utilizes recurring motifs—the scent of salt, the sound of gulls, the "vibrating stone-ledge," and the "iron-reinforced" security of their home. ​The story concludes with Chapter 500, depicting an eighty-four-member family gathered on the highest terrace. It is a "very happy ending" that celebrates the total victory of private love over public ambition, proving that the only true kingdom is the one built through decades of shared labor and unyielding loyalty. ​The Guiding Principle: > "The misunderstanding that a 'king' in the city could offer a truer reign than this was a dead lie... They were the masters of the mountain, two souls who had traded the obsidian throne for the joy of life."

Prince Samir looked at her disdainfully. “You’re not human.” “Aren’t I?” Nazmi asked boredly. “You aren’t.” She rolled her eyes. “Then what am I, your highness?” “A nymph. I can tell.” Prince Samir’s golden orange eyes threatened her. That if she lied again, she would surely lose her life. Nazmi started to panic. She hadn’t felt such genuine fear in a very long time. Time was running out, she needed to try and execute her plan before it was too late – but she swallowed the fear inside her to avoid blowing her cover. “How can you be so sure?” Nazmi laughed. Unfortunately for him, aside from having a lot to hide, playing with fire was her favorite activity. “Is it because you can’t bite me?” His dark skin and glowing eyes looked beautiful in the dim lighting; such an ethereal and lovely appearance wasn’t befitting of a vile monster like a vampire, Nazmi thought to herself. How unfortunate. The vampire hummed in agreement. “I would have ripped your skin and devoured your ichor the moment I saw you if it weren’t stopping me.” “You could always just kill me and drink my blood that way,” she said with a sarcastic smile. “Barbaric, yes, but it seems you and your kind prefer it that way. I’d say you’re animals, but that would be too cruel a comparison. Animals could never be as disgusting as you.” — War between the humans and vampires has gone on for centuries. Bloodshed and domination are all the two races seem to know, and neither side ever show intention for peace. The death toll between them is massive, both mortals and vampires alike. But what about everyone caught in between? Nazmiseia is one of the few remaining nymphs left. Since nymphs are spirits borne from nature, the constant shedding of blood and war has destroyed countless of their homes. Many of the wars took place on nymph land.As a girl, she lost her friends and family all save for her father. He took her to live amongst the humans and blend in, so that they could live a peaceful life. She took up the human-friendly nickname of Nazmi. Her father didn't know that his sweet girl would grow up wanting nothing but revenge on both humans and vampires alike. She is now the age of 20, finally old enough to begin learning how to use her nymph powers. While developing connections with strong people and training to fight, she ends up thrown in the middle of a human-vampire skirmish at the border. Nazmi not only finds herself injured, but captured by one of the most fearsome vampire generals. In the hands of the notoriously handsome and tyrannical vampire Prince Samir, her plans for revenge have to take a backseat to something more urgent - escape! — There will be lots of R18 detailed smut throughout the story. Please be aware! Blood and gore, vivid descriptions of death. Enemies to lovers, of course.~

"There have been rumors, or rather, a myth," Malachi began, the hostility in the air dissipating slightly. "World after world drawn into the sacred grounds of this oasis, the same myth emerges—a tale of an irregular, a player unbound by the rules of floors and reality." After developing what would become the biggest VR game in the world at a young age, Ivan's rise to success was rapid, but his fall was just as quick. Betrayed and having everything taken away from him, he decides to enter the now-dangerous game he had created in search of power, risking death and permanent entrapment. However, he soon finds out the game has become far more than what he thought he made. Lines between worlds blur, and his goals go from revenge to survival, to regaining his position as a god. A god of a reality that is far more than just a game. [Game developer Level 2 skill: Crafting is now unlocked] ------- A/N: Ivan is neither a hero nor a villain; he is willing to do anything for personal gain, regardless of morality. He won't commit evil deeds without reason, but he won't hesitate to do them when necessary. The story starts with a basic plot and might seem like a typical "level up" story, but it's actually way more than that. You'll realize this within just a few chapters. The entire plot is a complex storyline shrouded in mystery. The true core of the story gradually unravels along the way, filled with unexpected twists and turns. I hope you enjoy the story. Thank you for reading!
