The story happens in a world dominated by wizards and witches.... more>>

There are magical mirrors which know many things but still like to tell lies. There are special wands for students, which are carved with the names of all the former users. There is a mysterious training tower popping out from nowhere.

There are smart owls selling newspaper for tips. There are pink bears in grass skirt making bubbles to slow people down. There are many fantasy creatures signing contracts with the zoo.

What is more, there is magical talent here. Every wizard and witch has one magical talent, say a turtle shell with massive defense, a sandglass to foretell what to happen for the next second and a key to any door on the world. Of course there are always some weak talents, like a never-withering rose only for watching.

After Ethan Lane, the troublemaker, left Mermaid Island where he had lived since his childhood, he put the whole world in high risk. He is going to turn the world upside down and bring us laughter and surprise.

Come find yourself about Ethan Lane’s magical talent in the book.

And here lies the words of a being feared by the gods.
'Look upon my creation ye mighty, Despair!'

- Tasha, the author of The Ars of Decidium.

This is a novel that is heavily filled with the technical detail of magic, combat, contrasted with a unique sense of humor and some philosophical shit.

Also, lots of worldbuilding.

I made this in my free time so if you guys like it, then please let me know if it's worth continuing! Also, English is not my first language, but I'm open for critics.

Sonalila is a prodigy born in a rural village. It made her different, but not unwanted. Adored wherever she went, she grew as bright, insightful, and a compassionate woman. ... more>>

And yet she knew her gift will not let her stay there forever. Everyone does. It might be a rural village but people is not ignorant. They understand that the greater you have, the more you will eventually give. And she was exactly that. Sonalila was simply too special. The village cannot hide her brilliance forever.

More than she ever wish to know.

She will eventually have to face it.

...Or will it be stolen?

It's not that Darren Laneth is different, just that he... thinks differently than other people. Because they are just that, other people. Two different groups, a level of mental separation. And yet, because of a little separation, he doesn't know what to do with his life.

...

What constitutes as 'human'?

Is it how we act? How society views us? The very makeup of our bodies? This is not what he sees. What he sees is a question, a question that he's been searching the answer to his entire life, elusive and yet all around him. It is what defines a human, what they always strive for, no matter the situation. When given the ability to search for the answer, the only thing left is to take it. The story of Darren, who loses the thing that matters the most to him and searches ever harder to the answer.

Tell me,

What is happiness?

“Whoever marries the princess will become emperor.” A twist of fate brought them together. ... more>>

Born a curse, she was cast away from the royal family. But when the kingdom needed an alliance with the Northern barbarians, she was the one to marry.

As the second son, he had no right to become heir. Yet in the face of war and politics, he was always the first to fight for the country.

To her, he was a barbarian. To him, she was a pawn. But under the guise of the prophecy, they pretended to be the most affectionate couple. In front of others, they were the ever-flirting Prince and Princess Consort of Jin. But behind closed doors, they plotted for their own means.

Was it really all no more than an act? Or was there a bit of truth to their fabricated devotion?

They were unwilling puppets, each trying to break free from the invisible strings of fate. Only, when the stage finally fell, it was to chaos. In the end, she no longer knew if her tears were for him or the irony of it all.

_____

Excerpt:

He finally stopped in front of me.

“Can I trust you?”

Subconsciously, something inside me willed me to nod. Perhaps it was the knowledge that I was to be bound to him until death. Or maybe it was the awareness of how this marriage was much more than a simple union between two people.

He moved slowly, waiting for another nod of my approval before closing the gap further.

“You’re a smart one, somehow seeing through most of my guises.” He reached out and gently caressed my cheeks. “True love doesn’t exist in the royal family, but it seems as if we are the perfect match for partnership.”

He leaned in as if to kiss me, instead stopping short at eye level.

“Help me put on my act.”
