Conquest of F.E.A.R.

*Warning: Mature Content Ahead* Blocks of rocks plummeted from the sky, mysteriously transforming into stone statues mere minutes later. These enigmatic monuments, known as the Sacred Statues, held an extraordinary power: they could transmute people's deepest fears into extraordinary abilities. Someone terrified of heights found himself soaring to dizzying altitudes, confronting his darkest dread. Another, afraid of isolation, became invisible, doomed to be ignored by all. A person fearful of public scrutiny began to radiate an intense, attention-grabbing glow. And one who dreaded demons found himself bound to that malevolent entity, his worst nightmare incarnate. In a world where terror becomes power, the boundaries between fear and strength are tested. Those who face their fears are granted extraordinary abilities, but at a steep price. For Jax, his greatest fear of souls becomes his darkest reality. To harness the power of the Sacred Statue, he must first conquer his terror and become the very thing he fears, a trial known as the First Trial. Only upon conquering their phobia could they wield their newfound abilities and earn the esteemed title of "Master." As the Sacred Statues continued to fall from the sky, a new era of transformation began. The weak discovered untapped strength, and the powerful became even more formidable, all thanks to the extraordinary gifts bestowed by the mysterious statues. Will Jax overcome his fear and unlock the secrets of the Sacred Statue, or will he succumb to the very terror that haunts him? Can he find a way to wield his newfound power without losing himself to the darkness? Dive into this gripping tale of self-discovery, transformation, and the true meaning of courage.

When Dragons Dream

The Dance of the Dragons. An age scarred by blood, ambition, and political strife. As Westeros tended toward chaos, the Targaryens’ once-unshakeable legacy reached its breaking point. Born to King Viserys I and Queen Alicent, Baelon Targaryen found himself in a life that he could not control. Night after night, he is haunted by recurring Dragon Dreams. Visions of what was, might have been, and may yet come. Burdened by his fear of the future, he, along with his twin sister Helaena, try to find their way out of the chaos. But where can a Targaryen truly escape? Essos? Asshai? The wilderness of Sothoryos? And even if they flee, can they truly ever outrun what had been foreseen in their dreams? This is an AU of the Dance, with several major changes: • The addition of Baelon Targaryen, twin to Helaena. • Dragon Dreams may be shared between two dreamers deeply bonded by blood and spirit. • Visions may include alternate timelines/parallel worlds Baelon is not reincarnated; all knowledge he possesses is gained through experience or through his dreams. The story is loosely inspired by HoTD: Reincarnated as Daemon Targaryen’s Son, though it follows its own path. Also, I need to emphasise that my MC will not become King of the Seven Kingdoms. This is simply the story of a young boy trying to escape what would have been a life marred by death, betrayal and conflict. All he wants is to become stronger, so he can protect himself and his sister.
