House of the Celestials: The Eclipsed Vault

Daniel_Orions
Half a half-century after the events of the Crown of Stars, Terra stands transformed. On Terra, the shattering of the Grey— the mystical veil that once hid magic from mundane eyes—has fused two realities into one. Cities now share their skylines with floating citadels, arcane ley‑lines hum beneath once‑quiet streets, and ordinary Terrans awaken to powers they never dreamed possible. In the vacuum left by the fallen regimes, the mage‑conclave Octagram and the chivalric order Golden Dawn broker a fragile new world order alongside the rulers of the former Hidden World. Amid the upheaval, Samantha Sinclair—reborn as Asha’Yee, Keeper of the Sacred Flame—guides the newly awakened through their first sparks of power. Together with Emily Legens and her comrades she turns her focus to a deeper enigma: the vanishing of the legendary AurenIdril Empire, whose secrets may hold the key to stabilizing (or toppling) the newborn age. Every clue draws them closer to the mythic Eclipsed Vault, a place whispered to house the empire’s final legacy—and the reason the gods themselves fear Terra’s rise. Far from home, Leonard Haravok—now a full demigod—has returned to the Divine Federation and vanished from public sight. Rumors hint at celestial trials, forbidden bargains, and a destiny that could either save Terra or condemn it. As cosmic forces converge on the planet, Leon and Sam’s intertwined fates edge toward an inevitable collision—one that will test old loyalties, spark new alliances, and decide whether the light of the new era will blaze or be snuffed out before it can truly dawn. In a world where the veil is gone and the gods are watching, the greatest secrets lie in the shadows of the Eclipsed Vault—and unlocking them may cost more than anyone is willing to pay.

Bastard Homunculus: Reborn in the Corpse Pit

"The missing ingredient is a test subject with Royal Blood..." Raven Kyzer, a Commoner boy, grew up in an orphanage along with his twin sister, after losing their mother at a young age, having never met their father. After being discovered to possess Royal blood, the twins are abducted by the Church of Persona. Raven is used as a test subject in an ancient form of Forbidden Magic, known as the Homunculus Ritual, while his sister goes missing in the clutches of the church. The Homunculus Ritual is conducted to turn Raven into a powerful but mindless Monster, a loyal weapon for the church with no sense of free will...but something goes wrong, the ritual fails to destroy Raven's mind and he escapes the clutches of the church. Furious at being turned into a Monster, Raven swears revenge against the church, determined to make them pay for what they did to him, as well as to rescue his sister from their clutches. But there's only so much he can do by himself, even with the new powers he gained through the Homunculus Ritual...that's when he has a fateful encounter with the nation's most wanted criminals, a group known as The Irregulars, who, like Raven, have their own reasons to despise and go after the church, as well as the corrupt Nobility that oppresses the Commoners. With their goals aligned, Raven decides to join The Irregulars, taking the first step on his long, arduous path to revenge... Instagram: @aimdaqs Discord Server: https://discord.gg/J497zhJb

The Power of +1 [Progression Fantasy, LitRPG about Money]

For more chapters and discussion about +1, please support me on my Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/coffeetimewriting Theo Sterling, a ruthlessly ambitious corporate climber, is violently ejected from his career and finds himself facing the poverty he desperately fears. With only $2,000 between him and the streets, a mysterious mental breakdown leaves him with an impossible gift, the power to grant any object a permanent "+1" enhancement. Driven by his gnawing terror of failure, Theo begins methodically exploiting his unique ability, with the aim of becoming a billionaire. From enhancing basic knives for quick cash (and cutting ethical corners when necessary), to optimizing high-value bicycles for substantial profit, he relentlessly seeks ways to maximize the return on each precious enhancement. Navigating a mundane world with his special power, Theo readily pushes ethics aside, believing ruthlessness is the only path to the almighty profit. As he dives headfirst into more questionable and morally grey endeavours, his bank account swells, but does this solitary climb built on calculated risks lead only to an isolating peak? Or is there a heavier, unseen cost to Theo’s singular pursuit of money? What to Expect: - Money, lots of it, it's all about money! - Progression Fantasy, tracking Theo's path to becoming a billionaire, or die trying - Low fantasy, ability to enhance items with +1, and the ingenious ways of using this to make money - LitRPG used to track profit and losses using a ledger, the measure of wealth and success - Ethics and Morals... nah not really. Theo is as grey as it gets. May come into play later, but only after getting rich, ridiculously rich - 4-5k words per chapter (or more sometimes) Schedule - Daily release (1.5-2k words). Bigger chapters will be split over multiple days. Patreon - story is posted on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/coffeetimewriting
