Primordial era:Blood of the Founders.

Delight_Ageloye
In a world shaped by gods among mortals, the Founding Family reigns supreme—beings of unfathomable power, capable of creation itself. At their peak stand Keth, Zillah, Maingan, Rex, and Mariah—warriors who could rival the strongest beings across existence. But absolute power is never without consequence. Centuries have passed since the once-mighty empire began to fracture. Rex’s descendants, weaker than their forebears due to human blood, seek forbidden ways to reclaim their lost strength. Some turn to dark rituals, while others create beings from objects, unaware that these creations will soon develop wills of their own. As rebellion brews within the nation built from Rex’s bloodline, a far greater shadow looms—Mariah’s four lost children, entities she created long ago, now return with their own ambitions. Meanwhile, Keth, imprisoned for 700 years, has become something beyond human comprehension, his return a slow-burning inevitability. Zillah, once living among men, carries secrets that could alter fate itself. And Queen Spadina, the enigmatic force working in the shadows, remains an unsolved mystery, her true power yet to be revealed. Yet, amid all the chaos, one force remains unknown—Mariah’s unborn child. Held within her for 700 years, his very existence defies time itself. A being neither fully formed nor yet awakened, he is the only one who may stand against the storm that looms over them all. But will he embrace his role in destiny, or will he too be consumed by the war of gods?

Ancestral Lineage

In a realm where power is determined by affinities—elemental forces that shape magic, combat, and survival—Ethan is an anomaly. While most people are born with a single affinity, Ethan stands apart, wielding a vast range of abilities granted by a mysterious Ancestral-line System. This unique system taps into the untapped potential of his vampire and dwarven bloodline, unlocking ancestral powers far beyond the norm. At just 18 years old, Ethan's journey begins when he accidentally awakens this system, discovering that he is the heir to a forgotten lineage that blends the strength, resilience, and mysticism of both vampire and dwarven ancestors, a perfect hybrid of both. Though he must awaken and evolve to harness their power. However, the more power he gains, the more he learns about the dark secrets of his lineage—secrets that others would kill to possess. Unlike everyone else, Ethan's affinities are not innate; they are granted by the system based on his bloodline’s ancient heritage. As he levels up, he acquires abilities that no one in the current era has ever seen: the Psychic powers of telekinesis and telepathy from ancient vampire lords, the earth-shaping skills of dwarf warriors, and a host of hidden abilities that challenge the world’s very understanding of magic. But power comes with a price. Ethan quickly finds himself targeted by powerful factions and hidden enemies who fear what his bloodline could mean for the balance of the world. Ancient forces tied to his ancestry awaken, each with their own agenda—some seeing him as a threat to be eliminated, others as a tool to be used. Accompanied by a diverse group of companions, each with their own affinities and secrets, Ethan embarks on a perilous journey. Together, they traverse beast-filled forests, ancient ruins, worlds and perilous dungeons, all while facing foes who seek to exploit or destroy Ethan’s unique powers. Along the way, bonds are forged, fates are entwined, and the line between friend and foe blurs as Ethan learns that his destiny is far greater than he ever imagined. But with every new ability comes a deeper question: What is the true purpose of the Ancestral-line System? As he battles monstrous creatures, rival affinity users, and ancient curses, Ethan must confront the reality that his bloodline holds the key to either the salvation or the destruction of their world or something else entirely. In a world governed by affinities, Ethan’s unmatched power sets him on a path that could change everything—or lead to his downfall. Will he master the secrets of his ancestry and forge his own fate, or will the weight of his heritage drag him into the depths of a history best left forgotten?

Yoongi: Protector and Punisher

Yoongi: Protector and Punisher is a haunting fanfiction that follows the turbulent journey of a girl caught in the dangerous world of obsession, loyalty, and control, set against the backdrop of BTS’s Min Yoongi’s chilling persona. The protagonist, a girl broken by the world, finds herself abandoned, drifting through life until she encounters Yoongi. In him, she doesn’t find the typical salvation of kindness and tenderness—she finds control, structure, and power. He offers her rules, boundaries that protect her from the chaos of life. Though she initially despises the suffocating nature of his control, she slowly realizes that, for the first time, it grounds her. It doesn’t heal her; it shapes her into someone capable of existing. But as she grows dependent on Yoongi’s presence, the need for freedom—real freedom—begins to fester within her. She starts to rebel against the rules that once gave her comfort, convinced that she can survive without him. In her desire to break free, she steps beyond the boundaries he has set, only to face the consequences of her actions. The world outside of Yoongi’s protection is cruel. She soon discovers that without him, there’s no safety, no sense of self. His silence becomes a weapon, and his absence an unrelenting punishment. The lines between protector and punisher blur as she realizes the terrifying truth: it wasn’t the rules that kept her safe—it was Yoongi. This story delves deep into the tension between love and control, between safety and suffocation, as the protagonist navigates the price of rebellion in a world where freedom is an illusion. Yoongi: Protector and Punisher is a dark exploration of obsession, loyalty, and the painful realization that sometimes, the boundaries we resent are the only things that keep us alive.
