Malacai is a result of an experiment. His parents created him from an embryo in the lab, their goal being to create a superhuman.... more>>

At first, Malacai showed promise. He was the one with the attractive appearance and potential, but as he grew to five years old, his parents realized his growth was stagnant. After waiting one more year without results, they kicked him out just like the other failures.

They put him in an orphanage. Malacai hated his parents because of this; he swore REVENGE!!!

Time passed, and he turned seventeen. His life was almost hell now. He was bullied every day.

The reason? It was because he was very handsome, but his body was so frail. If others could sprint 10 laps, then 1 lap was enough to make him feel tired; 2 laps and he would collapse.

Then, one day, he gets beaten up very badly. As he lay down, feeling his life was leaving him, a black crow landed in front of him.

"Do you want to live??? If you want, I could make a deal with you."

"Accept this contract, and while you live in this mortal world, you will live unlike any other human. A different time, a different existence, the power of GOD will isolate you."

"Make your choice. Once you choose, there is no turning back!"

And without hesitation, Malacai agreed. With that, he gained the power of PROVIDENCE!

His power allowed him to control other people!!!

To the pawn lead on a trail of blood, mystery was an unfair game. Being placed in the body of a supposed murderer, moments after the act, is not a typical situation. And to prove one's innocence after the fact isn't a simple ordeal, not when the meaning of guilt is twisted, used as a dagger to plunge into the heart of any defiance. ... more>>

Is Jun the only fool? The disposable pawn replaced at the first sign of failure? His consciousness swapped out for mine, dragged in from another plane of existence. My doppelganger, is he the only fool? Or was this his escape?

Am I not a fool?

In an age of churning gears and steam engines that billowed columns of smoke high into the sky, one would think a murder would not require a supernatural cause. A revolver, would be enough. But why is that not the case?

Why did Jun feel the need to run?

If it was that simple, I wouldn't be this. This monstrous creature. This mangled, disjointed hound. Fueled by chaos.

But alas, my role is to entertain.    

Do not be misguided, for this is not the legacy of the fool, but his replacement, the jester.

A semi-anthology series set in the fictional city of New Stockholm on the American East Coast. This is a contribution for NaNoWriMo 2023, where I write a minimum 1667-word short story every day of November. These will essentially be first drafts, so sorry in advance for a lack of polish. I will be alternating original stories set in the universes of the City of Mists and 5th-Edition Hunter: the Reckoning (H5) tabletop games systems, grounded in the city of NS. Check out City of Mists and Hunter: the Reckoning on their respective websites - the systems are great!... more>>

The gist of it is, in City of Mists, people connect with myths and stories, which can actually metaphysically affect the world - and the result of it is, people gain supernatural abilities. H5 is set in a loose timeline of the World of Darkness, a world where regular humans live alongside gothic-horror monsters that have their own Dark societies, and live in a way both greater and lesser than humans. In this world, H5 concerns the few humans (Hunters) that do know about the supernatural. Both are modern-day, urban-fantasy settings.
