To live a quiet life away from high society, 14-year old Alex left home and created a new identity. She changed her name as well as her gender. ... more>>

The catch? She'd lose it all if anyone found out.

To prevent exposure, Alex stayed in the side lines and avoided unnecessary interactions. Her cold demeanor drove the other students away. They eventually learned to leave her alone. After that, it didn't take long for two years to pass by as she spent her days in blissful peace.

Her secluded life had kept her safe. 

Until…

That shattered when Logan Parker caught her with extensions in her hair, make-up on her face, heels on her feet and boobs in her dress.

Not one to give up, Alex needed to fool him.

But how?

How will she keep this web of lies afloat? Will her true identity stay as a secret? Or will her borrowed time be over? 

Take a peek and discover the biggest secret in this fiction world!

I thought I knew what it meant to be human, until I crossed those boundaries.
I believed I knew my limits, until I expanded all I am.

My senses mapped over hers, and I learned how incredible her alien world was for us.
Her senses mapped over mine, and she learned how wondrous my alien world was for us.
Our worlds overlap. Our minds awaken and link together. Our hearts synchronize.
Our realities hold truth, in separation and in unity.
This is all because of what she did to me, and also what I decided for myself thereafter.

She and I are the most unusual pair we've ever known, a Human and an Altiri, each far apart, yet brought together by an incredible power. This is where my story begins. It's more than a crazy romance story; our intertwined lives is the embodiment of how I live, in this crazy world we call normal, with our secrets left untold.

This is our story. It has a beginning, but not an ending. Romance isn't all about walking away in the sweet sunset; it's messy, complex, and downright terrifying at times. No life is perfect. No relationship is easy. Still, I would never trade it for anything. Join me, as I breathe life into these moments, memory by memory.

Quick Note about the context of R18+ content: Overlap is not a story with frequent invocation of explicit content, only in certain and specific chapters, of which are also not-essential to the plot and are perfectly skippable.

"In Earth's distant future, most of its religions known today decline or change. As a result of this spiritual upheaval, the barrier between the spiritual world and the physical one falter, and ghouls and demons are loosed upon the earth. Ultimately, most of these are resealed by the new religions, but one such demon named Belial, requires nothing short of sealing by angels to put back to rest. Thousands of years later, a beggar named Ambrosia Brahmin picks herself off the street only to be sent on a fetch quest by God, joined by swordsman, a shaman, a thief, a druid, an exorcist, an angel, and a demon. Meanwhile, the demon from eons before, sealed... more>> in a jar, is slowly being unsealed by a duped wizard, given false promises of rewards that await him..."

This book has already been published on Amazon KDP (but due to screwed up stuff, the Kindle version and the Paperbook version are not on the same page). It was originally developed as video game on RpgMaker 2003, and I still occasionally add things to it. <<less

“Future will only set in stone when it becomes the present.”... more>>

Wei Liuying is a concubine daughter in Prime Minister’s Residence. A lowly existence with barely anyone who cares for her. She had to rely on her wits and manipulate others to stay alive.

When the main daughter suddenly changed overnight, the others were dragged to keep up with her pace. Wei Liuying was no exception, and she had to adapt to the sudden power structure’s shift inside the residence.

The main daughter laughed and looked at her with contempt, “Trying to scheme at me who knows everything like the back of my hand? You’re nothing more than a villain who’ll die a miserable death.”

When the only one who cared for her was harmed by her father and so-called family, Wei Liuying laughed to Heaven as tears trailed on her cheek.
“If you truly wish for me to be the villain, fine. I’ll be one.”

In the midst of the raging flames of succession’s war and rebellions, Wei Liuying had to stand up for herself and fight for her survival. <<less

Timothy decides to use this second identity to rekindle the bond between him and his friend, but he seems to be missing something.
What will happen when Alex takes an obvious liking to the mysterious girl he met at the lake, who doesn't seem to exist in the light of day?
Why has his depression so suddenly vanished?
Why does being a different person feel so much better?
In the hottest summer in decades, as a comet with allegedly magical properties circles Earth, a seemingly normal boy sets out on a journey toward self-discovery and love. <<less

Apparently some sort of glitch made this unsearchable (that or the mods hate my book). Anyway, let's try this again!... more>>

This takes place in an alternate history of Earth where superheroes and villains duke it out. The main character is genderfluid/crossdresser, so heads up there is some transphobia stuff going on. She is also decidedly not trans, so if you don't like that fact, yeah I don't need you to read this. It's very like or hate, because it's based on my own story, so if you're easily offended by things like religions or politics, yeah, just don't read this!

Other than that, it has a girl's love rescue subplot, and a fight against evil dictator or something, and other stuff too. I don't want to go too long describing it though.

Oh, one more thing. If you're looking for Marvel-type comic book, it's more like My Hero Academia than that. Sorry. There's an attempt at least at humor, and the supervillains and superheros are more allegorical than realistic. The main character literally has the ability to beat people by debating with them and then punching them really hard. <<less

A shy awkward gamer girl from Earth is transported to a mysterious fantasy world by a Goddess, where she must learn to fight monsters, gods,... more>> and a misogynistic culture. At 17, she had never even kissed a boy, but now has multiple suitors for her hand, including the crown prince, all expecting her to be something she’s not. But how can one girl overcome thousands of years of culture and stop a war between gods and the forces of darkness no one had seen in a millennium? <<less

Princess Anastasia, the beloved only child of King and Queen Cetheri, suddenly fell gravely ill on her fourteenth birthday. Despite the best efforts of the royal physician, she remained unconscious and bedridden.... more>>

"The King is offering 10,000 gold doubloons for anyone who can cure the Princess, you say?"

Hearing such incredible news, a lowly conman figured he had nothing to lose anyways, so he signed himself up while crossdressing as a Saintess to bless Her Highness with good health. But who could have thought that the princess would actually wake up from her coma while the fake Saintess was 'treating' her?

Now hailed as the Holy Saintess who performed God's miracle, she is ordered to stay in the palace until Anastasia has fully recovered from her malaise! Yet, it seems like the princess has lost her memory and is unable to return to her old self? And this has something to do with a 'transmigration from Earth'?

The showdown between the transmigrated princess who won't be cured and the crossdressing fake Saintess who is desperate to get away with the King's reward begins!

It's a novel based on a dream that I had one time (Just a warning, it has a fairly slow start. It's a biography... more>> of my life up to a certain age with fantasy elements thrown in, then gradually kinda becomes trippier and trippier). I'm not sure how to define the plot. It starts with a dream about a girl living in a town conquered by demons, and the girl fighting the main demon with the help of a fox spirit. Or was it a dream after all? <<less

This story is a novelization of my webcomic of the same name, although there are extra details and scenes that are not present in the comic.

Update:
This novel was originally published as 62 chapters. Some of the shorter chapters have been consolidated to improve the pacing of the story and a separate glossary was added to replace the end-of-chapter glossaries. <<less

Danny has always felt like a weird guy. Like he just didn't fit.... more>>

All this comes to a head when Danny decides to finally indulge in his love of mermaids, and change his life forever... <<less

This is a seprequel (I do not think there's a term for this, thanks to flashing back and forth, it is both a sequel and a prequel) of Town of Winter and Oracle of Tao. To a less extent, it also relates to Tales from the Reaper. The story begins with the creation of the universe, and ends with... well the end of it all. Basically, it was the finale of the main series, so I wanted to wrap things up cleanly. It's sorta got the feel of someone going senile, which is kinda the point. Ambrosia has finished her quest, and thanks to memories from three different lifetimes, she has some seriously disjointed sense of past and present.

Just a warning, it is kinda religious, and very very experimental. <<less

The youngest child of the Kent family was a strange kid, for numerous reasons. For one thing, they were half-Kryptonian with developing superpowers. For another, they had Superman for a father. But the reason that the Man of Steel's youngest child felt strange wasn’t their unusual friends, educational circumstances, growing super strength or their family’s odd fashion choices. No, it was something deeper… Something personal, that the child was about to discover soon...... more>>

Cid was eight when his father died, leaving him with words of wisdom, not only for a business but for life in general. At the age of eleven, Cid’s mother died, leaving him with fond memories of what it was like to have a mother and good times. But…
His mother had remarried before she had died, because she was worried for her only son, and Cid was left with a stepfather whom already had two sons to his late wife.
Cid’s stepfather and stepbrothers may play tricks and try to take what isn’t theirs but there seems to be at least two people that have stayed by Cid’s side, and that is a long-time... more>> friend, David, and a Princess.
Working many hours because he is someone that brings business to his step father, Cid is trying to find a way to disconnect from his stepfather and live a life of a man…A man that would be in charge of his own life and not be ordered around and be treated like a slave.
Events lead to Cid delaying this goal of his, like that of the Princess’s troubles with marriage and the continuous pestering of not only his stepfather but stepbrother as well.
