After many years of hostility between Athens and Crete over the death of the Cretan prince, a tenuous peace is struck in the form of a marriage agreement. Every nine years hence, seven youths and seven maids sail from Athens, expecting a marriage into the aristocracy of Crete. What they find instead is a bloodthirsty monster and a king who has not forgotten the past. In order to marry, they must survive one day in the Minotaur’s labyrinth, but no one has ever returned. With the newest tribute, however, sails Theseus, prince of Athens, who has been promised the hand of the beautiful Princess Ariadne, and he doesn’t intend to die quietly. With the help... more>> of Ariadne, he prepares to face the Minotaur, but no one can predict the rift the Minotaur’s death will leave behind or the world on the other side.

This is a story I wrote in middle school that I have decided to heavily revise. My hope is to share chapters as I edit them and eventually publish the finished book. That said, if you see any mistakes, feel free to point them out. Thanks for reading! <<less

Just a little twisted diary of mine

"Am I the one who killed all the heroes?!" That question haunts Fionn, a guide who awoke amidst a jumble of corpses strewn chaotically in an ancient dungeon. Darkness and the stench of blood linger in the air as he discovers something profoundly unsettling—among the bodies, he finds one that bears an uncanny resemblance to himself.... more>>

Can the icy romanceable option & the calculating villainess work together in a reckless attempt to avoid a Bad End?... more>>

The dissolution of Lady Ein's engagement to Prince Lochlann in favor of a foreign commoner threatens to plunge the kingdom back into civil war—but Ein is more concerned about losing her access to the kingdom's best medical practitioners; her mysterious illness is only getting worse, and time is running out.

Prince Finnian, the youngest—and grumpiest—member of the new royal family, has always known that something inside of him was different. It's not until a near-fatal accident unlocks hidden memories that he realizes what: he's been reincarnated into the world of an otome game as the tsundere Romanceable Option, and he's on route for a deadly Bad End.

Now, he must work carefully to steer the story in a different direction and eliminate the game's villainess, Lady Ein—even if it means giving up on his desire to transition. But when Lady Ein approaches him with an outrageous marriage proposal, he realizes that an unlikely alliance might be the only solution.

Can they work together to rewrite the last page of the story, or is fate dead set on giving them both Bad Ends?

Note: This is a transphobia-free story! In this kingdom, we love our tsundere trans princess!

Jonathan Phoenix is a fourteen-year-old boy who lives with his adopted grandmother and is the last surviving member of the infamous Phoenix family which acted as the Royal Guard for the strongest Empire in history and has produced the strongest Mages of their generation throughout its existence. In present day, they have been demonized and hunted down to near extinction and young Jon is met by hostility and aggression wherever he goes, to his discomfort and annoyance. 

However, one day, a mysterious man arrives and informs Jon that he has been invited to attend the Ashford Magical Academy, the oldest and most prestigious educational facility for young Mages to learn and harness their powers. Seeing this as a chance to grow strong enough to defend himself from his future rivals and enemies and to finally get some answers which his grandma has withhold from him, Jon gladly accepts and soon befriends fellow classmates who are each unique in their own ways such as the brash and loud but fiercely loyal Adam, the highly intelligent and resourceful but insecure Artemis and the fearless and tomboyish but also stubborn Lynn. 

As Jon grows and learns the various applications of magic in all spheres of life, he also uncovers more mysteries of his own lineage, the rise and fall of the Solan Empire and most importantly, he and his friends learn about the most dreaded and foulest Mage in history, who was the first and only one to find a way to cheat death and defile that which no Mage even thinks of doing, all the while fighting against the rogue Mages and deranged Cults who are each wanting to bring back the "Father of Death" for their own twisted goals. <<less

***Probably dropped***... more>>

The veil of reality is thin, and it was ripped apart a long time ago. Now the abnormal is normal, and inexplicable is commonplace. The old laws of physics are now only suggestions which are ignored daily, and theoretical concepts are no longer only theories. Anomalies are scattered in all places, and incomprehensible phenomenon are a given.
Now Nisha is trying to make a living and survive, getting kicked out from the welfare system once she reaches the age of sixteen. Maybe the amalgam of flesh that lives in her brain could help her.
This process however, gets her into several unfamiliar situations, including but not limited to talking to people, accidentally solving several-year-long mysteries, and getting into drug wars.

The main character will experience some transphobia and dysphoria among other horrors. Content warnings are in the author's note at the start of each chapter.

We follow the compelling journey of Valenus, a person burdened by the weight of personal challenges, most notably the illness of their father. At home, Valenus is engulfed in a sea of guilt and responsibility, constantly struggling to find a balance between their personal anguish and the needs of their family.... more>>

Amidst this emotional turmoil, Valenus seeks a momentary escape from the oppressive realities of his situation, tirelessly searching for something, anything, that could provide a distraction, yet each attempt seems to lead nowhere.

In an unexpected turn of events, Valenus encounter a seemingly ordinary video game, discarded and forgotten on the ground. Driven by curiosity and a desperate need for distraction, Valenus takes the game home. Little do they know, this game is far from ordinary.

Upon starting the game, Valenus is suddenly and inexplicably transported into its virtual world. This is no mere coincidence; the game, as if alive with purpose, has chosen Valenus.

Now, within this new reality, Valenus is forced to adapt to an environment where fantasy and danger coexist.

In this game world, Valenus faces a myriad of challenges and formidable monsters.

Each obstacle pushes Valenus to the brink, demanding ingenuity, courage, and resilience.

"Worlds Beneath The Shadows" is a story of escape and return, of facing one's fears in a world where the lines between reality and fantasy blur, and where a person's true strength is often found in the most unlikely of places. <<less

Morrigan died as the unwilling sacrifice in a demonic ritual, but the Grim Reaper has another plan for this wayward soul—to make her his new apprentice!... more>>

Reaping isn't exactly her dream summer job, (long hours, crappy pay, no benefits) but with the alternative being banished to limbo, she's ready to give it a shot!

Will Morrigan embrace her new role as a bringer of death, or cling hopelessly to her lost humanity? Either way, she'll have to adapt to a world of spirits, hollows, black magic, and demons while completing her daily murder list is "just part of the job."

Warning: While this is largely a coming-of-age story it also deals heavily with death and the many forms it comes in. This includes murder, suicide, drug overdose, gruesome traffic accidents, and more. If these topics are something you'd rather avoid, please read something else.

*****

I plan for this to be a very long series spanning many centuries. The first few volumes will cover Morrigan's first years as an apprentice reaper, but I imagine later volumes covering her existence hundreds (or even thousands) of years from now as an experienced bringer of death.
