To play the game of politics, one must be brave or foolish, but better to appear both and be neither. Countess Julia Augstadt lost her mother in childbirth, her father to an accident ten years ago, living in the shadow of the Royal Palace by a betrothal to the Crown Prince, only for that to be annulled with her eighteenth birthday approaching. There is no justice but that which can be administered with one’s own hands, no power but for that which one personally yields, and there is no evil which cannot be justified with greatness. It is a shame, then, that she has decided there is no greatness left in the lands she calls... more>> home.

--- Author's Note ---

Due to a writing competition with another novel, I'll be putting this novel in a hiatus. Though I'll be writing it in the background, and make a major overhaul for it when the competition is over.

Warning: This story is a dark and frustrating read. The main protagonist will suffer, despite his best effort. The plot is very expansive so you'll have to read for a fair bit until everything becomes clear. <<less

Fed up with a world where science has made every fantasy a reality and people just don’t care about stories anymore, a young video game developer named Kai uses ancient black magic to transport himself into one of his games, titled: Choices.... more>>

Disturbed by his powerlessness on Earth, Kai makes sure to give himself the ability to change this new world as he sees fit, literally.

If you were ridiculously powerful, would you throw away all your morals and do whatever you wanted? Would you find happiness? Would you find love?
Or would you end up realizing that…

Absolute power is pretty depressing.

Note: The format for chapter titles is: “Overall_number POV_number: Title." Look at the POV chapter number to see who is narrating.

!~~ Author’s Note ~~!

Style: This story is written in 3rd Person POV because I like it (my preference).

Plot: Wing it. Well, not really. I do have a plan, but my true style is always to be unexpected!

Length: Around 1,000 words each chapter. Mostly because I don’t want to burn myself out, and I can stick to what I want to write instead of wandering off aimless in the sky to who knows where.

Schedule: I do plan to keep up a good even pace considering that I have other stories on my plate as well, but I don’t plan on abandoning this one and that’s why I’m released the first chapter without stockpiling as my determination is to go with the flow and write along!

There are thousands of worlds. Yun Qi needs to travel to 16 worlds and to take the place of another person, to fulfill his wish or get revenge and change their fate.
Each world is different, perhaps in the future or in the past, or a world where omega exists, or zombies, magic, spiritual cultivation and so on. If I say more I’m gonna spoil it.

In his 60 years of life, he'd built up a good legacy and looked on to spending his later years quietly teaching his students the martial arts he'd cultivated over the years while working as a nurse for his day job. He'd long since saved enough for his retirement, but he just could not leave the profession of helping those who needed it.... more>>

In his younger years, he'd traveled the globe and, during his time in Japan, learned a historical preservation of a martial art that claimed to be Ninjutsu. Although, as he would learn, it was actually a Samurai art that the Ninja supposedly learned to infiltrate. Bottom line, it was effective.

His son had even enrolled his granddaughter into his studio in the kid's class. After practice one day, he decided to take his granddaughter for ice cream. This is when everything went wrong.

After the accident on the freeway, he was fine. His granddaughter was not. It was at this moment something supernatural happened. A ghostly vision claiming to be a fallen goddess promised him she could take his vitality in order to heal his granddaughter. In so doing, he would die but his granddaughter would live. Regretting his actions which caused his granddaughter's predicament, he agreed immediately. Next thing he knew, he regained consciousness in the womb of what would be his new mother, and next to him was his twin, a twin he would later discover was the very goddess who helped him to save his granddaughter.
