When I was growing up, I used to watch and read science fiction content day in and out.... more>>

Then I would go and dream myself all this fantasies in my head.

Like all people, well not all as I would later learn, I would be the hero in them. Everything would revolve around me. Whatever I did, had consequences for everyone else. People worshiped and adored me. They praised me for my deeds, forgave me for my shortcomings and helped me in all my quests against the evil in our world. By the end, I would create a utopia where everyone was happy and lived together in harmony.

And so in life, I was as I was in dreams.

Book Two in the Let Chaos Reign storm series ~
Unruly hair aside, the sneaking out and turbulent ride over here seemed overall smoother than usual. Which, in my experience, usually means there is still something that is inevitable to go wrong. If it hasn't already, then it will. Guaranteed. Every. Damn. Time.... more>>

I start to pace, my mind going back through tonight's events, wondering if I might have missed something. Maybe he forgot… I don't know why I think that every time.

This cave is one of the very scarce constants in this landscape of dancing destruction. The Scar is always persistently changing, yet not, the tornados wreaking havoc in their predictably twisting and reckless ways.

The Scar remains a weird kind of maze of canyons and ravines that have been continuously carved by endless parades of swirling pillars of dust, dirt, debris, and anything else that gets caught up in it. Tornadoes dictate the landscape for miles on all sides, some taking the same paths over and over, enough so that mapping them has been a tedious, yet not impossible, task for nearly a full decade now. For the research cartographers and various elders of specific areas of expertise... Not me, specifically.

I'm just a TumbleTech.

The Tumbler is a magnificent little creation that essentially acts as storm debris at the very least, personalized rocket at most, depending on the size of the fuel tank and the kick behind the thrusters on a 360° rotation. Also, it can tow a two-ton wreckage comb like it’s nothing–those handy debris-collecting honey-comb-looking cages the Rovers use to scavenge for treasures of an ancient world. <<less

Sometimes I daydream about epic battles with swords and dragons, well-crafted intrigues between noble families or forbidden rituals performed by witches on a full moon.... more>> /> Occasionally, these stories are part of a larger narrative, divided into many chapters with a beginning, middle and end, which I may post about one day. But for the vast majority of the time, it's an isolated scene in a world yet to be built that I daydream about. These ephemeral snippets, I don't know where to put them for the rest of the world to see. So I'll post them here, and hope you like them.
Thousands of story fragments, talking about hundreds of characters, touching on dozens of different themes. Chaos reigns here, and that's perfectly fine.
In short: the chapters published here are short stories that are generally unrelated. <<less

Dear Readers,... more>>

I am reaching out to provide an important update regarding my novel, "Where To Reach." After thorough reflection, I have decided to embark on a significant restructuring of the story. This decision arises from my concerns about the current narrative's sluggish pace, disrupted pacing, and the lack of meaningful involvement of the main character. As part of this process, I may also consider more substantial changes, such as redesigning the main character, even changing the title or eliminating certain locations from the storyline. But roughly everything should stay the same. I have always struggled with beginning a story so I assure you this is a one off occurrence. Because of this I shall be also deleting everything here and reuploading it as another novel on my profile. When i have the title written I will post it under announcements and leave this novel up for a few more weeks before taking it down. <<less

Not sure where I can throw an authors note so I'll do it here.
Hi, I'm Jaz and I'm writing this book as I go with no plan or plot or editor! Thanks for putting up with me testing some new things for this book. The first two chapters are in third person but that isn't my style usually, I was trying to see if I could use third person but it felt uncomfortable so from chapter 3 I expect I'll be doing first person to make writing easier for me.

At any moment one of the characters could die, simple as. I don't plan on giving any character some 'immunity' to death.
Because I've not fully planned the story, some of the tags might change over time as I decide I can't add some specific aspects, one thing that won't change is the apocalyptic-survival elements.
As for crafting, I plan to make nearly 'method of production' be an aspect I will focus on, that means most forms of crafting with proper recipes which will stay pretty consistent. The characters who we will be watching will struggle and have to research and learn what they do and how to best use them. <<less

Quiet, reserved, and relatively enjoying his life.... more>>

Kane wasn't really happy when he woke up with a new name, a new face, and to a whole new world.

A world with one big continent, a place where cities are named A through Z, and also where bizarre things happen so often he has no idea how the world hasn’t completely fallen into ruin yet.

Also, things like monsters, evil scientists, giants, zombies, undead lichs, psychics, superheroes, supervillains, cyborgs, and anything else he could think of are a common sight.

And unfortunately as well, most of those things seem to be trying their best to kill him outright or cause mass destruction.

Annoyingly, since he now lives here, he doesn't really have much of a choice but to intervene in hopes of ensuring that he and everyone else in this crazy world can maybe live to see tomorrow.

Thankfully, though much to his utter confusion, he has awakened something called The Ultimate Gacha System. And although it might be a big help to him in his coming battles, it is rather perplexing that the things his system gives him are from animes, shows, games, or movies he has next to no knowledge of…

Despite this, Kane—now Kanagawa—hopes he can achieve some semblance of control while becoming someone he can be proud of in this perilous world.

To start, the Hero Association doesn't sound too bad, because honestly, Kanagawa could easily assume a place where heroes gather couldn’t be completely full of insane people right?

Right?

Great.
