Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online!... more>>

Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice.

It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more.

You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need.

Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters?

Please Note: I publish daily.
Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy (https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/4342/swamp-boy). The old story (on another site) is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it. <<less

---------------

Mikael was a graduating student when a global summoning transported him inside a forest full of monsters. Inside this place, he would meet people that will help him reach his goal: to return back on Earth and meet his family.

A galactic civil war, commonly known as the Clone Wars, has raged throughout the shocked galaxy for a few months now. Its end is clouded by darkness. Which the Jedi are blind to. They can't see the trap that slowly closes around them. As a looming shadow crawls in the dark, waiting for the right moment to stifle the light that has ruled over for centuries and more.... more>>

Outside of the battle of light and darkness, a few obscured silhouettes scours the changes. Members of a mysterious order, many think of them as mere legends. Some believe in their existence. Others might have even spoken to one of their members.

One thing is certain, a great change has come to the galaxy. One with effects that will reach across the stars. The robed figures are yet to decide if they are to interrupt the natural order of light and darkness.

Such as they are, eccentric, old beings, with long forgotten powers.

This story tells us the legend of one such being. We shall follow this particular Grey Lord, on his, pardon me, her.. Less than, typical adventure.

Recommended by Grandmaster Yoda.

A fanfiction this is. Hmm. The Way of the Grey some might say. Read you must. Go!
______________________________

Prelude:

A twi'lek orphan girl in a slum on Ryloth was about to give up hope; she was hungry and sick, beaten from a fight with a bunch of other orphan kids, for the scraps of food they could find in the trash piles. She was sitting on the side of a dark alleyway, enduring the pain of hunger to lessen her hunger and thirst she drunk water from a dirty puddle, yesterday. Now she had a fever. She knew that it was a risk, but she had no other choice... Now it will be over at least faster, she thought with sadness, but also relief. With her hazy mind, she finally realized that someone was standing before her, a tall man, a human man? She couldn't make out his features. At least she will not be alone in her last moments, suddenly she felt happy, it was probably from the hunger, she felt light-headed, her reasoning was gone. Her heavy eyelids slowly closed.

The stranger was looking at the small probably five or six year old girl. He looked at the girl, but there was no pity in his aging eyes. Only realization.

- So be it. He said.

The force made him come to this place. It led him into this alley at the right time to save this light gray-skinned twi'lek girl. She was a bastard child of a whore, most likely dropped on the streets, or orphaned in some other typically cruel way. It did not matter to the bearded man. What mattered was that he could sense the force in the girl. He knew that she was the one he came for. He picked up the girl, and walked back to his ship, hastily.

- Don't die on me now, after all that trouble to find you. The man cursed while breathing heavily. He was old, his beard was entirely white. The spring in his steps and deep wrinkles were tell-tale signs of a battle-hardened veteran. Or at least a hard life, with heavy physical labor.

The man ran up the ramp of his ship, into its medical room. Carefully placing the trembling, feverish girl on the table while two different medical droids booted in and started to scan the girl's body. Each droid had four different arms, giving the girl antibiotics and bacta poultices on her forehead, with at least a few doses of immune re-invigorators with energy infusions. <<less

Until the day, everything crashed down. They labeled her a monster, and the realization hit her as that was all she would ever be.
On that fateful day, she also found her mortal mother linked her to two mortal boys, a vampire and a warlock. Though one twin was destined to perish. If he died, she would too.

A dilemma since she wanted to live, even if it was to spite all others. But was that possible? After all, she was the goddess the evil coven worshiped!

Can she save the boy? Will she allow everyone to define her? Or will she walk her own path, even if it dooms the world? <<less

Will it be filled with hardships and tough choices?
Or will it be a total depression that haunts our protags through the story?

Only our MC will be able to know as he goes into that another world and faces the surprises.

This story will contain a lot of violence as killing and fighting. Cannibalism is also depicted in this story along with torture. If this type of story is uncomfortable with you, I think it would be best that you leave this story alone as it will be quite heavy with it. Gory bits such as internals coming out will not be shown in this story but in a spin-off story. The same can also be said towards sexual stuff though some indications would be hinted here.

This is also my first time attempting to write a novel so the method of writing and language might trigger someone. Since I am from Malaysia I might sometimes unconsciously include some Malaysian slang such as lah leh and the such inside.

I wrote this novel purely just for fun and I am also currently studying so I cannot ensure that the update time would stay consistent but I will upload chapters as soon as they are ready to. <<less

[This is a reimagining of the story The Tutorial is Too Hard by Gandara.]... more>>

On New Year's Eve, Lee Ho-Jae decides that he wants to die. The universe seems to hear him for the first time in his entire life, and just as the clock hits 00:00, a message pops up inviting him to the Tutorial. Lee Ho-Jae accepts. But at the prompt to choose the difficulty level, is there anything the former pro gamer can do but pick the very hardest--appropriately titled Hell?

And so begins Ho-Jae's true descent into Hell in every conceivable form, thrusting him into a world where pain is the currency needed to gain power, and the only ally he has is his own flesh and blood. It doesn't take much for the human mind to crack and crumble, but to build it up again is even harder. In the spiral of white madness that Ho-Jae finds himself tumbling into, will a hand reach towards him and pull him out, or will he just drag them down with them?

3 releases a week, Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 20:00 EST, or 02:00 the following day CET.

This story is loosely based on the concept and story by Gandara, but is apart from the setting and name of the main character different on almost every conceivable level. You do not need to read the original story to read this, and doing so will change very little of your experience with the story. It is almost recommended not to read the original if you enjoyed this one since the original has a vastly more lighthearted tone in comparison.

Thank you, and I hope you'll enjoy the story! <<less

Nicholas Fraye is a broken man trying to pick up the pieces of his life after everything fell apart years ago. Everything happened during what came to be known as The Cataclysm. Fate dealt him...fuck. Dealt ME a shitty hand. What I had to do in order to stop it still haunts me to this day, along with something...more. Damn it, I don't want to get into this now. I need a damn drink...
-----... more>>

Author Description: This story is about Nicholas Fraye, otherwise known as Osran...though you wouldn’t want to say that to his face, and how he is coming to the end of a very long journey. He is a man whose psyche has slightly broken from what happened to him and his family. With his son in a coma and his wife lost to death, he attempts to repair what was lost and taken from him. It is a mix of first person/third person when the perspective is on him, and third person for every other perspective.

This is romance with obsession. Though the romance may take a bit. Focusing more on the drama and action to start. There is going to be slight harem (atm, three love interests...technically). If that isn't your thing, that's alright. Just know what you're getting into. It won't be a long story like my others...or at least that's the plan. I will update as I can, as I have other stories I'm writing as well, but am releasing a few of these chapters first. Thank you for your understanding.

This is set in an alternate Earth with a slightly altered history. Horizon is what you know as New York City, but from its landscape to the boroughs, everything is different. Beyond the veil of mortal perception lays the truth to reality. The Faelands.

I use several creatures from mythology with some of my own twists on them. There is also a few fourth wall breaks due to Nick knowing about this world due to his power and connection with reality. Though this is not Deadpool level. It's just being aware of other worlds.
-----
CHAPTER SIZE: I usually try to make shorter chapters in my previous stories (Love & Obsession and Cyber Heart), but in this I try for slightly longer chapters. About 3000-4500 words. Sometimes more, sometimes maybe a little less. Buckle in. Longest chapter so far is, I think, 5000 or so words.

TRIGGER WARNING: Suicide is talked about and shown a bit in this story due to what Nick has gone through and his own attempts to take his life. Be warned and be careful. Just remember, you're loved even if you don't know it or believe it. Even if I don't know you, I'm glad you're still around. <3

EXTRA: This story was partially inspired by a few songs. “Runnin” by Adam Lambert, “King” by Lauren Aquilina, and “Hard to Kill” by Beth Crowley. I recommend listening to them as you read the story. Anyways, I hope you enjoy! Thank you for taking the time to read. ^_^ <<less

This story is my very first I finished so I hope everyone enjoys reading it. The first arc involves school but the second and third arc take our protag to some interesting places. The main character is also a loli for pretty much the whole story but as it isn't the focus I decided not to put it as a tag. I could also put the tragedy genre down for arc two and three but I'm not sure.

I have begun reuploading the story with a new name "Artifice: Tools of the Gods" on Royal Road and will be splitting the chapters split into smaller pieces along with more editing. Those that prefer shorter chapters should wait. <<less
