Artemis is sent to boarding-school, his friend convinces him to 'socialize'.
This goes well, until it goes terribly wrong. Not wanting to worry anyone one around him, Artemis begins to use drugs to keep himself stable, this goes as expected; It's a car crash. Humor and angst ahead.... more>>

The worst part about your parents barely knowing you enough to care, is being painfully aware of it.

OR: Myles and Becket are still a riot, Butler is worried, Angeline is stressed, Artemis experiments in drugs and people realise how screwed up Artemis has been this whole time.

Or: Artemis is not okay. <<less

It's 2020. Six people meet at a wedding
It's 2015. Six desperate idiots rob a bank.
It's 2010. Six fraudulent college grads swindle a gated community.
It's 2005. Six kids escape their home. ... more>>

In the town of Marston, Virginia, six protagonists find a coin that, when flipped, can let them take anyone's appearance. Over a series of robberies and heists, they grow up together, find themselves and each other, all from the perspective of their future selves, looking back to how they got to where they are now, and why they haven't spoken in half a decade.

Flipping Out is a magical action story disguised as a coming of age gender and sexuality play.
It’s a romantic dramedy disguised as a crime thriller.
It’s four increasingly elaborate heists in a trench coat. <<less

Zaina Quin is an ordinary young woman working her father's farm when her life is turned upside down by the impending end of her world.

Fifteen-year-old Tawny Matthews is a poor student who receives a scholarship to attend Ivoree Gates, an elite private school attended only by the children of the wealthiest in the nation.... more>>

Tawny runs afoul of Dylan, the hot, arrogant, most popular rich boy in the high school and also the most feared, and he makes her life on campus a living hell.

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.

'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.

- 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.

In the vast and volatile lands of Tepr, the Jabliu and Alinkar tribes, long-standing enemies, have forged an uneasy alliance. The price of peace? A union through matrimony between Naci, the fiery and ambitious daughter of Jabliu's chieftain, and the elusive heir of Alinkar.... more>>

From the windswept steppes to the towering peaks of the Tengr Mountains, Tepr is a realm of contrasts, a mosaic of tribes, each fiercely guarding its identity and territory. While the alliance is a political move, for Naci, it's an opportunity. She doesn't just see a marriage; she sees a stepping stone, a path that might lead her to the ultimate prize: the unification of all the tribes under one banner.

But the path to power is fraught with challenges, and the distant Moukopl empire, perched high in the Tengr mountains, has long held an iron grip over the region. <<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.

To humans, daemons are simply monsters; worse than animals, violent and feral. They are beasts, no matter how human they can appear. Daemons feel no... more>> better about humans. To them, humans are savage brutes, greedy and destructive. The animosity between the races has gone on for generations, with pointless acts of violence between them. No one knows who started it all, but it probably won't end any time soon. That is just the way things are, after all. It is only natural that daemons hate humans and humans hate daemons.
As for Candor, he doesn't know much about those things. He is simply a little fox, who was found in the woods as a kit and raised by Grandfather. He just likes to eat and sleep, and play with Anthony, who came to live with Grandfather so he could go to school in the village. Anthony soon becomes his world, his playmate, his best friend, his everything.
But sometimes, he can't help but feel a little lonely. Anthony goes to school all day, and he talks and laughs and plays with the other children...
Sometimes, Candor wishes that he could be human too.
He never expected that wish to come true. <<less

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.

Coronado Springs, the epicenter of Southwestern culture in Disney World, carries a legend. Unknown to Maisie and Feya, who have waited a month to attend Out and Equal: Summit 2023, it's rumored a ghost haunts Veracruz in Coronado's Convention Center.

In the last city of Voxsturm, a city surrounded by terrible magical storms, humans find common cause with all the other demi-human races to survive. One dreary evening, a lost succubus is rescued from starvation by a simple human who was wandering nearby. While their time together was short, Lorelei has ever dreamed of meeting him again.

* This is a re-telling of "Tornado Alley Summoner" which is also available on Scribblehub, but no longer canon. This is a slow building romance with a shy and timid succubus. The world is a bit of dark fantasy, but don't let that discourage you. In this world there are also lots of different monster humanoid species, all of which are just trying to survive without killing one another in petty feuds. Some of the species in this book include - cubi, wolfkin, foxkin, vampires, elves, lamia, and more.

Ana—is a telepath. That's not surprising however, since everyone in the world is born with psychic abilities. Normally, a birth ability is something simple or underpowered. Telekinesis for instance, with the strength to maybe lift a carrot. Or perhaps Control of time, but the best you can do is haste yourself by a tenth. Ana on the other hand was born with the Phantom ability, a passive connection to the senses of those around her. Sight, Smell, Taste, Hearing, Touch, and Kinesthesia; she felt them all. To infant Ana, her mother is simply an extension of her body, one she cannot control, but still a part of her, nine months of natal life taught... more>> her that.

Lia—Highly skilled Biokinetic healer, priestess of the Hidden Moon temple, holy prostitute, and mother to Ana. Little time or interest in children, and never expected to raise one. All holy prostitutes send their children to the temple orphanage, that is expected. Those children are loved, and raised by all of the priestesses and acolytes of the temple. However, once Ana was born it was found that she could not be separated without trauma. This is troublesome, tiring, and not at all what Lia had expected to do with her life, she had patients to heal and lords to pleasure.

This is the story of Ana, her friends, her family, and their struggles. She is a troublesome child growing up with even more troublesome abilities. Her struggle is to define who she is while being unable to separate herself from those around her. With no sense of boundaries and no proper fear, she walks through life tossed on the waves of feelings, sensations, and thoughts inflicted upon her against her will.

The world itself is a realm of power struggles; physical, psychic, and political. On the verge of technological renaissance while also on the verge of another awakening nightmare. As the population grows along with their powers, so too do the dangers that lurk in the wildlands. Old lessons from the age of mythology have been forgotten and must be relearned.

Notes:
Updating every weekday.
There is a power chart I'm working on, though unfinished and needs to be reformatted a bit. Will post the powers in the glossary as they come available in the story. If I forgot one leave me a note please!

Penny's transition has been perfect! Flawless, even! From the moment she started high school, she's been living as a girl full time, and loving every second of it!

But when a friend from her long lost boyhood makes an appearance at school one day, she silently panics. Even if he doesn't seem to recognize her, she can't help but feel anxious around him, and recall the bittersweet memories of their time together. Confronted with the physical embodiment of the past she oh so wants to forget, Penny's forced to face the hard questions in her life, from how she connects to her friends to her hidden insecurities regarding her own identity and womanhood. And maybe unearth some unrealized feelings along the way...

Just who is she, at the end of the day? And how does she want the people she truly cares about to see her? <<less
