Echoes of Silence

BROUGHT OF OPPOSITE WORLDS

The Fractured

Since I was born I've been a bit fragile. My bones are brittle with disease and my body constantly fighting itself. I missed many things in life and the world around me. I've never actually been in a classroom or had people other than family and it's been nine months since even they have visited. I missed championships and wars. I missed dances and celebrations. Sadly there was nothing I could do condemned to be in this hospital for all time. Calmly I studied the things I could never do like blacksmithing and combat strategies. Being male and this fragile is maddening but I'm sure it would be for anyone in my position. There is a new scientific discovery that's being unveiled today. I would have loved to be there and see it live but watching from the television is fine. I wonder what this quantum particle accelerator will bring with it. Maybe humanity will advance on this day and maybe before I die I might walk once on the beach. Watching this brilliant light show is amazing but slightly frightening at the moment it doesn't seem to be going the way it should. Havoc is ensuing within the testing site and people are rapidly being torn apart. It is horrifying but I can't look away as a black rift into the unknown best forth from seemingly nothing but thin air. The winds are swelling and the ground even here is shaking but I'm on the other side of the country. People are panicking in mass not knowing what to expect but then something willing violent bit happened as it looked like two worlds were merged in the blink of an explosion. The world has changed as what scientists would later call dimensional convergence. A message was heard in the heads of most humans that say as all manner of mythical creature appeared in mass! Our world had tripled in size and the message simply said “We don't know how we came but we are here to stay, let us have peace!” or so that's what I was told. What I heard though was “Time has not been kind so I will turn your greatest weakness into the ultimate power!” this is where is all began...and where the world started to end!

You Of All People

What happens when two unlikely people met each other for the first time? They get married! That's right, they definitely did. They were akin to two parallel lines that weren't supposed to intersect or touch at any given point in time. But in that fateful moment that they did meet, they were thrust into the world of whirlwind romance. A handsome, thoughtful and cold-heated man, King Margaux Hendrix, who spent most of his years in unrequited love accidentally met a beautiful, introverted and forlorn woman, Violet Hailey Quinn, who was betrayed by her long time and long distance boyfriend. Two people that when put together were comparable to a dog and a cat. They changed the trajectories of their lives in one moment. Never be the same again. Together, they tread and explored the waters of love, the unknown and uncertainty. Through twists and turns, they gradually fell in love as their adventure called marriage, unfolds. Their encounter created a butterfly effect that seeped into other people's lives and set off chains of events with the resounding click like that of a falling domino. ----- The whole story is about two people that shouldn't have met, always at each other's throat, sort of fell in love I think? Violet: "What sort of? Damn it! We have no choice!!! You wrote us!" YoureMySun: "Y-you!!!!! You can't be here! Stop crossing dimensions! You're ruining my synopsis for your story!" King: "Can you change the female lead? Someone who's more beautiful and cultured?" Violet: "Bastardddddd!! You're dead!!!" YoureMySun: "Cut it King! You're not supposed to be here too! Stop agitating Violet, ok?" King: "Hahahahaha me? stop? Dream on! I'll annoy the heck out of this woman. Even if it's the last thing I do! Gyahahaha" *evil laugh Violet: *pulls out bat from somewhere then charged at King YoureMySun: "Oh my God!!! V where the heck did you even get that! Stop right there!" King: "W-woman! I-i know how much you love me so don't you dare hit my face!" Violet: "Me love you? You of all people? Only an idiot will fall for you" *said through gnashing her teeth King: "You're the idiot that fell for me, you know? G-get away from me barbarian!" YoureMySun: "You guys left me with no choice" *Our dearest author left with no choice, pulls out the magical keypad as she wrote, YoureMySun: "As Violet was gunning for King, she tripped and fell in his embrace. And end up kissing each other. Then a good samaritan from the story's dimension accidentally throws a rope through the worm hole while trying to catch the running horse. The two got tied in the same position. The samaritan pulled and was shocked to see two people instead of the horse. He blinked then they disappeared, and wondered if he gone crazy. The two was transported to their love nest stuck in that position for the whole day. Until Violet had enough being taken advantage of by King. She ripped the rope and starts bashing King with a pillow. While King's laughters and ouchies reverberates throughout the house. And they lived happily ever after" *closes keypad, bows in apology to the readers YoureMySun: "Finally got some peace and quiet. Sighhh... I apologize dearest readers. It's been too lively?" "Where was I? Going back" They fell in love through twists and turns. Violet, a beautiful, charming, quiet, and a kind girl unexpectedly met King, a handsome, rich, playful and iceberg-man. "She's really kind and quiet you know, believe me. It's just that, King happened" Join me dear readers in exploring their lives, how they met, what will become of them, their adventures and their story :D ----- UPDATES: 1 chapter per day COVER: 'illustrated drawing' by Maha Saleh is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 [https://search.creativecommons.org/photos/be9a743c-0160-4d94-8f40-62f3380e7830] Disclaimer: Credits to the amazing artist that created and shared 'illustrated drawing' in Creative Commons.

Covetous Soul - A Deckbuilding Story

Daniel liked to explore caves in his spare time. They were nothing grand, truly little more than small things that littered his parent's property, but this one was different. It stretched longer than any he'd explored before, and when he reached its end he found a golden card laying alongside a corpse. Against his better judgement he picked it up and was thrust into a world where survival is not guaranteed, and cards are everything.

The amazing grimbles

World/Gate

there are 3 worlds, these worlds some how got connected to one-another and an all-out war had occurred between the worlds; until one day an entity appeared and some how stopped the war between the worlds. Many centuries has passed and this story about the worlds in war has turned into a myth of legend that tells about a Guardian had appeared to end this war. A Boy named Yuei Shiragi, lived as an apprentice of a dwarf in the world of Gimos. He was born without any magic affinity, so he was considered as the most incompetent. To make up for it he studied alchemy and magecraft; a branch of magic that doesn't necessarily need any affinity, yet having none is a disadvantage in many aspects. He then left and went to another world to study in a magic academy.

Querida Prometida.

"No todos los vivos respiran". Nova soñaba con casarse por amor, pero antes de nacer su padre ya lo había comprometido con alguien. La primera vez que la vio una sola palabra cruzó su mente y salió de su boca. _"Ángel". Él podía ver estrellas en sus ojos cada vez que ella decía su nombre, ella buscaba siempre que él pudiera ser libre, tan libre que un día él se aburrió de ella o fue esa la escusa que le dio. Había una vez una princesa, un príncipe y una bruja... así comenzaban los cuentos, ¿No? Entonces debería comenzar... _"Hasta que la muerte nos separe o hasta que la cordura se pierda lo que pase primero." Eso fue lo que dijo ella la primera vez que la conocí.

It's because he's just too irresistible. 5 years na silang mag-on ni Harons Axle Rovera, ang 'Campus Playboy' ng South Hill High School. Ilang beses na niyang nahuli si Hans na kumakaliwa sa kanya, pero binabalewala niya lang iyon dahil mahal niya ang lalaki. Nag-promise si Hans sa kanya na hinding-hindi na ulit siya lolokohin, pero may nangyari ba? Wala, diba? Pero ano din ba ang ginawa ni Khrisha? Iniwan ba? Hindi din, diba? Yan ang problema ng pagiging maaawain at marupok, eh. Hindi mo kayang iwan ang taong mahal mo dahil naaawa ka sa kanya. At kapag nage-explain siya, tinatanggap mo ang eksplanasyon niya dahil nga marupok ka. Tanga ka din eh, 'no? Kasi sinasaktan ka na nga, hindi mo pa magawang maiwan-iwan. Ano nga ba ang dapat gawin ni Khrisha? Iiwan niya ba si Hans? O ibibigay niya sa nobyo ang infinity chances na hinihingi niya?

A mix between the knights of the round table, and supernatural action in the settings of a high school. Lancelot Du Lac's life was anything but normal, and it just keeps getting worse. with the help of his friends, family, and Badass girlfriend they face pampas vampires, vengeful witches, and things that would even give monsters nightmares (pun intended) ****TRIGGER WARNINGS ARE POSTED; HEAVY TOPICS WILL BE DISCUSSED**** -MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY-

Dungeon Master: Paving a bloody path to sovereignty

*The image on the cover belongs to TheSmilingOgre, I claim no ownership of it ---------- An unknown entity has kidnapped hundreds of thousands of humans across the whole globe and transported all of them to a fantasy world. There, they were all separated into two different roles: Dungeon Masters which have to expand their dungeon and kill any intruders in order to grow stronger and Heroes which must enter the dungeons to destroy them. In the midst of this bloody game, Luiz must do everything he can to survive as a Dungeon Master while learning more about the fantastical world he's been thrown in and the entity that brought all of them there. So accompany him as he rises to the top and leaves a bloody trail behind him as he aims to become unmatched by all. ---------- *English isn't my first language, so feel free to show me any errors so I can correct them in the future. *This is a very slow novel, so there will be a lot of descriptions, theorizing and experimentation when building the dungeon, so if you want a lot of action at the start you might be disappointed but if you like an in-depth dungeon building and a flashed out fantasy world than you might be interested. *Romance will be entirely absent from the start of this novel as it would make things progress even slower than they already are, but I'm willing to work on it later on. *The protagonist won't be an OP badass who can solve everything easily but he'll be very thoughtful and will always try to outplay his opponents rather than just facing them head-on, basically he'll have the ingredients to be very powerful at the start but that will only come true later on. *Lastly, make sure to leave suggestions and tell me how you feel about the story, your opinions can help me greatly in writing this story.

Gay one shots

Just a bunch of gay one shots. Stories about gay love. Some may be boyxboy some may be manxman or manxboy. There isn’t really a limit on how many chapters there is going to be. I’ll just realise more and more over time it probably won’t end

PORN

Chuck Norris a renowned hard gangster, always down on his luck in his love life. Even at age 40, Chuck remains a virgin, despite his ardent effort for a girl to love. Every time he is about to get laid some weird twist of fate gets him. He later comes to know that the world is not so simple, as he witnesses the world of the supernatural and gods. Meeting the goddess of porn and the matron Succubus of the seven hells, Chuck walks his own sex, obscene and adultery, becoming a king of Porn, as a Porn God. Story Short scene: So, doctor, you’re saying that I can never get a “hard-on”-slash– “erection” –slash- “boner”? Doctor: No, no, and a definite no. Doctor, you don’t have to so sure about it, medical miracles happen all the time. Doctor: A desperate creature is always hopeful, but let me dumb it down for you. You have never masturbated or had sex or ever ejaculated in the 40 years of your life. Your sperms crystallized, which turned your balls into rock hard fossils. Your hormonal production went ‘kaput’. By the way, kaput means broken or useless. I know what kaput means! Doctor: Sheesh for a man with crystal balls you are super spunky. As I was saying your entire sex system is ruined. Being suppressed of sexual thoughts or sexual actions for so long, your body forgot all about sex. Your body forgot how to get a hard-on. That’s the end of my counsel and as a sympathy gift for the man with the useless d*ck, I advise you against using the little blue pill aka Viagra. I know that Viagra is a blue pill. Doctor: You know a lot of useless information for a man of your situation. Well keep away from medical stimulation for your broken d*ck, as the most hopeful thing that you can get from any sex medication is high blood pressure and a heart attack, but hey the news channels will have a field day covering the news of you being dead from trying to get a hard-on. Ha-ha-ha-ha. Doctor, I will be leaving… Doctor: Ha-ha-ha-ha, nurse, send the next patient after 5 minutes. I will need some time to laugh. Female voice: Hey don’t beat yourself up over your non-existent sex life. Though miracles are not that common, they do happen! What! Who?! Who just talked to me! Female voice: Don’t look around, silly, you cannot see me unless I allow you to look at me. [Gulp] who are you? Female voice: Me? I’m a Goddess, hehe.

this is a test please don’t read

really please don’t read it this is a joke i’m going to cry this is the worst thing i’ve ever written; i can’t even get the chapter order right [this is a bad parody of cnovel romance cliches]

From the lowest to strongest - That day I become the number 1 in-game

Kiba - a name that is not known by anyone in-game but suddenly dominated everyone. In the world of Sapphire, everyone is free to do as they like as Sandbox VRMMORPG starts to be popular with gamers and with the sudden growth of technology from VR Systems to Full-Dive Accelerated Systems. You can live an entire lifetime's worth in this game within just five minutes in real-time. That's how powerful this game is. But, just like any other, this one has a catch. If you die in-game either by the death of old age or by being killed off in-game by other players, your memory of the game will be wiped off and you needed to play the game one more time without memory of having to play it before. Welcome to this high-risk, high rewards game.

Marvel: Loki

Reincarnated as a 'God', Loki to be specific, is a shocking experience, but to find out that you're Loki from the MCU? That'll blow your brain out your ears. Follow the new Loki as he tries to not make the same mistakes his 'predecessor' made, while also having fun and gaining the power he knows he'll need in the future. (This'll be an AU, with some changes here and there. Mainly when Loki was adopted by Odin and Frigga. Why? Because I don't want him to be too old when Canon starts. Also, just a heads up, but this isn't gonna be the same Loki from the MCU; as in driven by jealousy and wanting to rule Asgard. So if that's what you want, I would suggest you don't read this.)

In Another World Bound to the Crappy Hero

After dying in a terrible accident, Sono finds herself reincarnated in a world of myth and magic. However, she is reborn as a slave, and on the chopping block as she hasn't been purchased by anyone. A "Magnanimous" hero decides to "Save" her by buying her, but unfortunately for Sono, he's the brash, jerk kind of hero who lets his power and fame go to his head. Sono is being bought to replace a OP Healer that the "Hero" kicked out of the party after overestimating his own strength, and now Sono gets to deal with the resulting backlash from all sides. Far from the weak and pathetic heroine she seems to be though, Sono has a plan to get free, and an even greater plan to attack the issue that annoys her most, the Slavery Magic in this stupid other world.

Join the youngest Olympian on his carefree adventures through the pjo verse. Epic battles with some humor sprinkled in here and there. This is my first book so zero expectations should be held.

Crimson Kissed Bride

(DEMONS AND DRAGONS Books) #2 Demons & Dragons {MATURE CONTENT R18+. No Rape} "So, Lady Aisling," Baron Kylian Hawkrige's voice rumbled, a dark caress that sent shivers down her spine. He stood across the room, a silhouette of broad shoulders outlined against the flickering flames. "Do you intend to play the reluctant bride all night?" Aisling lifted her chin, emerald eyes flashing defiance. "And what role would you have me play, Baron? The grieving widow, perhaps? Or perhaps the grateful concubine?" A muscle ticked in Kylian's jaw, the air crackling with unspoken tension. "Neither, my dear," he countered, taking a menacing step closer. The firelight glinted off a silver skull signet ring – a memento mori glinting on his hand. Aisling's breath hitched. This wasn't the reserved, haunted man she'd envisioned. This was a predator, and she, his captive prey. "Marriage," she spat, the word laced with venom, "is a sacred bond, Baron. Consummation shouldn't be a mere duty." A slow, predatory smile spread across Kylian's face. "Formality can be most…pleasurable, Lady Aisling," he murmured, his voice dropping to a husky whisper. "Especially when the wife is as defiant as you seem to be." His hand shot out, a blur in the firelight. A gasp escaped Aisling's lips as he grasped the delicate lace at the back of her gown. A single, swift tug sent the crimson fabric cascading to the floor, leaving her bathed in the flickering firelight, a beautiful, defiant statue carved from ivory and rebellion. Kylian's eyes burned with an intensity that both terrified and strangely thrilled Aisling. He leaned in close, his breath hot against her ear. His voice, a low growl, sent shivers down her spine. "Now, Baroness," he murmured, "let us see if your screams can rival the ghosts that haunt these halls…or perhaps, they'll be a melody far sweeter." The air crackled with unspoken desires and a darkness that promised a wedding night unlike any Aisling could have ever imagined. ***** Aisling, a fiery redhead barely a woman, is bartered away to the enigmatic Baron Kylian Hawkrige. Whispers of a haunted past and a brooding solitude shroud Hawkrige Manor, a gothic monstrosity that chills Aisling to the bone. Her arrival is marred by a shocking crimson stain on her wedding dress – a violent secret that binds her to a fate worse than death. Kylian, a man as handsome as he is haunted, offers a chilling proposition – a marriage of duty, not desire. Yet, beneath his stoic facade lies a darkness that both repels and strangely attracts Aisling. As she delves into the manor's dusty secrets, she uncovers a chilling truth - the stain on her dress isn't the only mark of violence that taints these halls...
