Lilia would rather sleep all day than go to class. Avoiding her problems sounds like a better idea than getting hurt. But that was just a typical day for a girl living on a military school compound surrounded by the greenest Wastelands that ever existed. It doesn't help that she and five others were in hiding. Her species were the ones responsible for almost destroying the human race. Well, at least she wasn't alone. However, that brings about another source of problems.... more>>

Do they all get along? No. Are they stuck together for the rest of their lives? Yes. Do they all need therapy? Darn, right, they do.

So this is Lilia's (Bryson, Druid, Heather, Terran, and Shadow)'s story; I hope you like it.

My friend photographed the picture. She allowed me to use it for my novel.

Constructive criticism is appreciated.

It's been a couple of years, so I am reposting and editing. This is the best way for me to know where I'm at and where I need to go with the story.

Thank you. <<less

When your heritage as a dragon is the least of the secrets kept from you, danger and adventure are close at hand.... more>>

Drenar and his best friend Julia found a magical creature bestiary that revealed a startling truth: they're Awakening into their draconic forms, and their latent powers tied to it are slowly kicking in. While grappling with this revelation, a mage insurrectionist organization responsible for their changes rears its head, tries to coerce them to help them tear down the current mage government, and threatens both worlds of consequence.

Those rebels made a BIG mistake, threatening a bunch of teenage dragons who don't want their world to fall to pieces. They band together, along with others they find along the way and forge their own path to defend the world against the rising evil of the Talons and their leaders. Foes that include the deadly and enigmatic CEO Valosterla, a maniacal dragoness who sings as she slaughters her enemies.

Prepare for a journey of daring heroes fighting for what's right, while they shine a light to guide the way...Witness the rise of the Luminaires!

What to expect: A coming-of-age fantasy story of daring heroes fighting to save the world. The characters are the heart of the story, from dragons, to Kitsune, and more.

Rating warning: PG-13. There's some language, violence, and some content that might not be for everyone (trauma, grief, and others do get touched on). Heavy chapters will be noted, so there will be fair warning.

A young philosophy professor found himself surrounded by a dozen gunmen. In the heat of the moment he made the stupid act of rushing towards one of the men in order to protect a female colleague.
That was the end of his life, well that was supposed to be the end of his life. Interestingly enough he found himself waking up as a baby. Born in a prestigious British family, the reincarnated professor took on the name Alexander Walsh.
But everything is not what it seems, from an mysterious otherworldly inheritance, to a mysterious yet familiar world of fantasy. Alexander would soon find that his second life is not as simple as it seems.

In a world where Area Lords control the lands through magic, bending them to their will, ten-year-old Addie must fight to make her own path.... more>>

Her father is one such Area Lord, but he refuses to teach her magic, insisting she is too young. Instead, she goes searching for it on her own. In the process, she finds out her trusted personal maid might not be what she seems. An investigation in a dark basement leads to consequences Addie wishes she hadn’t discovered. But, perhaps she’ll meet someone who can help.

This is a slow burn progression fantasy story with a growing young protagonist in a world of mystery. Magic is created through bonds, whether it be with magical creatures, known as ‘bonded’, or even with plants or the earth itself. This story does not contain any NSFW content.

The update schedule is one chapter a day until I run out of backlog, so at least 30 chapters in 30 days. After that, I'll reevaluate, but I'm hoping to have as many as three chapters out per week.

Worse news, the universe he ended up in is a chaotic mess. Don't like the world you spawned in and want to go somewhere else? Death is the only way to travel between worlds. Have a specific world you want to visit when you die? Yeah, no. Spawns are random. Finally hit level 99? Congrats! Now you need to do it nine more times.

At least Grim died with some fight in him.

That feeling that you've lost something. You had so much but you just let it slip away... Katsumi Murakami is in university and has been... more>> on a downward spiral the last year. Horrible lifestyle choices and a delinquent girl that encourages this has led him to the brink.

Meet Zanda, fresh from the prestige of becoming a Gevurah, member of the Fifth Sephirah, a powerful league of guardians in charge of protecting the seemingly perfect reality of planet Malkuth. Yet, her first day after graduation spirals into unforeseen chaos, reminding her that the luminosity of malkuthian society masks a profound darkness. As the young Gevurah confronts the challenges her new title involves, she is thrust into a journey beyond the realms of her training and expectations.... more>>

Parallel to Zanda's tale is that of Adria, a woman ensnarled in the brutal survivalist life of Dictaduria, the third country in the continent for exiled criminals, Sectum. Wrongly accused of her crimes, living in poverty and marooned in a social structure designed to mirror the struggles of a life under failed political regimes, Adria finds herself forgotten by time. That, until the day an unexpected opportunity that could change the core of who she is, and bring her liberty, presents itself when a bloodied and tortured man named Corven crosses her path, about to be murdered by sadistic hands.

"A Tree of Omens" is meant to interlace the destinies of Zanda and Adria, two souls from disparate worlds, bound by a shared fate that will pave the path for new generations in a galaxy where futuristic ideals and ancient secrets collide.

With the promise of a timeless epic that not only questions the nature of utopia but also the very fabric that weaves our universe, this is an open invitation to witness the unfolding of The Omens.

The journey begins now – are you ready to delve into the hidden knowledge? <<less

'An ill-fated prince marked for death, a trickster imprisoned by the gods...together, they might gain the strength to change their ill fate.' ... more>>

Bram of House Attilan is a prince with an ill fate. For in a land where sorcery is the dominant force, a young man cursed with a body lacking talent for even basic spells is scorned by nobles and commoners alike. Fortunately for Bram, as a child of the Sovereign who rules the Atlan Imperium, even an ‘Ill-Fated Prince’ is given a chance to prove his worth…and Bram means to do just that.

Believing that a talentless man can achieve success by gathering talented people to work under him, Bram, the newly appointed governor of Lotharin, one of the twelve kingdoms that make up the imperium, devises an ingenious plot to use a 'self-improvement system' called the ‘Loom’ to develop the talented people his kingdom needs.

Such an undertaking will require the aid of a master trickster—one powerful enough to help Bram kidnap humans from a world called Earth to enlist their expertise in performing the greatest trick ever sold; hoodwinking their fellow Earthers into believing they’re playing a videogame while they work to solve the many troubles plaguing Bram’s kingdom, thus giving him the talents he needs to make Lotharin great again...and finally prove himself a worthy prince.

---

Release Schedule: Mondays to Fridays. I'm still experimenting on time. Next week will be 7 PM UTC+8.

What to Expect:

- Light LitRPG elements.

- Progression fantasy. No instant overpowered MCs with murderhobo tendencies. Bram has to work hard to grow.

- Clever schemes, fast-paced action, and in-depth character development.

- Elaborate world-building elements with a sprawling world thoroughly mapped out.

- A tale that seamlessly jumps between high fantasy adventures, game development hijinks, and kingdom-building shenanigans.

And only I can see and open them.

That’s what I discovered when I got sick and tired of being shocked by these only-visible-to-me floating purple things and tried to rip it apart… Only to literally rip open a portal into a familiar place from a VR game.

What is going on? Was it actually a real world all along? Were the devs aware of it? Could I… smuggle potions and magical items to Earth with this?
