Aliandra Amariel loved magic, dedicating her academic years to the study of runes and spells, pushing the boundaries of mana's infinite possibilities. Like most Fae, her destiny seemed clear until that fateful day of her Class Trial, when the Blind Lich unleashed an undead apocalypse on her home, the fabled underground city of Dal’mohra, and triggered The Breaking – a cataclysm that forever reshaped the world. ... more>>

Saved by her mother’s legendary time-stasis spell, Ali wakes thousands of years into a dark future. Everything she knew and loved is gone, buried under a mountain, transformed into a twisted dungeon by the malevolent will of the Lich.

Now, Ali must confront her deepest fears, mastering the arts of battling monsters and braving a town riddled with corruption. As the Lich's grand design shadows her every move, she scrambles to forge new friendships and unearth ancient knowledge in her fight for survival.

Why must she struggle? All she had ever wanted was to curl up in a comfy chair with a few thousand good books. But the immortal Lich is drawn to her unique magic, ever hungry for more power to fuel his cold-hearted ambitions.

How will she survive the giant target painted on her back as her advancement slowly reveals the horrifying truth of the Class she chose to save herself? Will she falter, forced into the eternal servitude of undeath, or will she rise against all odds and cast him down, ridding the world of his evil?

Tibs escaped the guild, by fleeing his home.... more>>

But that was years ago. Years on the run, two decades of staying one step ahead of his hunters, while trying to gain access to dungeons so he could regain the strength that was taken from him and go back to enacting his revenge.

But Tibs did more than search, he learned. read more books then he imagined existed, talked to Scholars, asked all the questions he could think of, but never got enough answers.

and he trained. Dungeons speed up the gain in strength, they told him a long time ago, the only way to really become powerful, but Tibs won't let that stop him. So he learned as much as he could, and trained as hard as he could. and he made progress, Went from the bottom of Upsilon to somewhere in Rho in two decades. but he's now stuck, unable to push through the next step to advance.

But he knows it's only a question of time until he can con his way into a dungeon and gain what he's missing. and he has time. those two decades barely saw him age a quarter of that, a young man, instead of a child.

and he may be closer than he thinks.

a mystery in a village leads to something unknown that could be the answer he's searching for.

Volume 1 Synopsis:... more>>

'Kinsoriel, one of the oldest dragons across all of Gairemeer, was the target of many. This wasn’t of any issue to him though, he relished it in fact. Dealing out death to so-called heroes was almost a hobby for him. That ended today however. This time, his enemies had a hidden weapon on their side, one that would force this scaled menace to become the thing he hated most; a man. Now in the body of a man, the dragon must make a life changing journey to regain his true form, seeing the world through a new pair of eyes.'

That was how it was supposed to happen. In an inexplicable event, the dragon avoided what was written out for him, instead bringing the Author of this world with him. If that wasn't bad enough, the book that gave him the power to do anything in this setting went missing at the same time. Figuring out how this happened can come later. At the moment, Benjamin- the Author in question- needs to get his book back to put things the way they should be. But to do that, he'll need to get on his human loathing main character's good side. Can they put aside their differences long enough to get what they both want? Or will they destroy one another?

Volume 2 Synopsis:

Having suffered numerous setbacks in their journey, Kinsoriel and Benjamin found out that they were going to be stuck with each other far longer than either expected. Though rocky at first, their time together has improved their relationship significantly. That being said, nothing could have prepared them for what happened after their encounter with Stromwell. The gods have returned.

This development strains their bond when Kinsoriel's god chooses him to be his champion. Given purpose once again, the dragon prioritizes matters that will ultimately be meaningless should Stromwell win the bet. Can Benjamin get Kinsoriel through his character arc and win back the book? Or will the divine interruption give their foes enough time to strike a fatal blow?

Meet the anomaly, an extremely introspective protagonist raised, shaped and forged by the mysterious teachings of her overly secretive mother.... more>>

In a world where strength reigns supreme, she is able to stand out among her peers despite possessing only a single spell and having no divine weapon.

However, in her apparently simple journey to prove her worth and follow in her mother's elusive footsteps, her life will receive a drastic twist upon meeting her very first death.

This event will abruptly change the vision of the already anomalous world around her, forcing her to confront a truth and reality no living being would ever dare to approach, unraveling something deep and unknown within her and creating immense confusion inside her mind as she discovers new emotions.

Fear, or...?

- - - - - - -

A 'What to expect' might be appreciated:

- Slow to fast progression.

- Magic.

- Quite the action, but lots of slice of life as well to add more to the story.

- A confused main protagonist about love. Girls love. (Although the romance is slow and not immediate, it still is a core part of the work.)

- Not-so-mentally-sane characters.

- A slow and dark descent into madness seasoned with bad romance. What better companion than a sadistic red girl to accompany the main character through her maddening and threatening adventure as she unravels her mother's secrets? Oh, but she can be sweet, too!

- (Characters perform every Thursday, unless they call in sick, or work extra!)

- (About the 'sexual content' tag; there really isn't. However, there may be some rare chapters that could be quite intimate. Those chapters will include a note at the beginning.)

- (This little story is my training ground; abandon all hope ye who enter here.)
