Elise Ham is one of the most popular girls in her school; known not only for her wealth, beauty, and wit, but also mischief along with her group of friends: Keira, Bree, and Melody. With them together, anywhere is their playground. They love to have fun and play games with one particular favorite: the Dare Game. Though what they do is good clean fun, their notoriety came from exaggerated stories about them probably made by others being jealous.... more>>

On their senior year, to end their last year with a 'bang', Elise reluctantly took on a dare: To make someone fall in love with her. And their unsuspecting victim? -- Dianne Park.

Dianne Park is Elise's classmate; a transfer student in their sophomore year.
Due to what happened to her parents, she has slight trust issues. She keeps everyone at arm's length, only mingling if need be, just enough not to be branded as a snob, just enough not to stand out. She spends most of her school days reading books and just plain looking at people. One that caught her eye is Elise's group--particularly Elise herself, she enjoys watching them having fun, Deep inside, she wants to be friends with them since she doesn't have to courage to enter their long-standing friendship, it's enough to look from the outside. In the period she's been watching, Elise became the object of her affection.

Elise, driven by peer pressure and a dare.

Dianne, held up by her fears and with her treasured unrequited love.

Their paths crossed...

Is it a fated happy ending?

Or pending broken hearts?

Initially a Kpop fanfic.

Fictional S. Korea. Everything is fictional.

I have a weak foundation in writing, I started out as a school paper's sports writer, so I struggle to expand paragraphs since I was taught news need to be terse and direct to the point. Then fanfiction, with fanfictions there are already audience who know about some aspects of the fanfic. There are ready-made settings and characters which I don't need to describe and introduce to the readers since they already know. So writing descriptions, is also a struggle fo me.

Very childish, full of mistakes (grammar, spelling, and loopholes) and cringe-worthy cliches.

Picking it up again and hoping to finish this time after a long hiatus. Earlier parts were written years ago so they are very dated 😂 <<less

When those from beyond the stars came, the six Houses stood against them, saving the world from invaders intent on destroying it. Generations later, those same Houses form the bedrock of Lutov, a seemingly perfect society where all are provided for. Here, war is a myth and death, a choice. Yet here, no one questions their devotion to their chosen House.... more>>

Zaeden will soon join a House, a choice he’s dreaded since childhood. All he’s ever wanted is to live outside of the Houses' control, to find freedom. Unfortunately, he's caught the attention of the legendary Lokke Vitras, the protector and shield of the homeland, and that man is determined to decide his future. Zaeden will serve as his replacement, becoming the Lokke Vitras in his own time, whether he likes it or not.

As he goes through his training, Zaeden faces many trials and moral dilemmas, but the one that most challenges him is a question he’s asked his whole life. How can he find freedom when the world insists on defining who he is?

This story is for people who like snarky, clever protagonists with a dash of recklessness and extreme loyalty to those they love. It is for lovers of the self-critical, the idealistic, and what happens when such people are trapped in their own worst nightmare. Lastly, it is for those who enjoy reading about glittering societies that are not at all what they seem.

As with everything I write, The Art of Becoming is a slow-burn fiction with a heavy focus on characterization. There will be sexual content, but I am not graphic with that, and most of the scenes depicted serve to move the plot or character development along in one way or another. Also, Zaeden is pansexual, polyamorous, and most importantly, extremely social, so yes, there will be a romantic subplot. It is not, however, the main focus of the story.

The Art of Becoming takes place several centuries after one of my other fictions: Planetfall. Reading that story isn't necessary, and there will only be slight spoilers about the overall ending of that book in this one. I consider Planetfall to be the prequel for The Art of Becoming.

For the weekend of its release, I'll be uploading several chapters, but after that weekend, I will update with one chapter a day Monday-Friday at 1 pm PST. <<less

How can you say these words to a person who knew only war? Who never knew the warmth of love? How do you fix the broken who sought only rest from such a hellish life?

Emma was one of these unfortunate souls. Cursed by the life she was forced in, lost everything and everyone she held dear to the people she once trusted... and now she is forced to relive the same nightmare all over again. Broken and half mad, Emma abandoned her name and family in hopes to find refuge from the horrors of war... but it's shadow could never leave her alone.

The Silent Heir explores the psychological damage and trauma a person would have if they were reincarnated. Everything up to that point will be remembered. Good and bad memories alike. Unfortunately for this story, the memories that can be count as one are limited. It also tries to tell a story what a ptsd might look like for a soldier after their death should the memory persists. I am in no way experienced anything this level of experiences, but I will do my best in writing them justly.

When Zalan falls asleep to escape the pain of his relationship with his mother, he awakens in a vivid fantasy world teeming with Elementals, deadly monsters, and world-spanning adventure. He can even work to wield the power of lightning, itself. Confused about how he arrived in this strange new land, Zalan reluctantly joins forces with a guide, Rep, who promises to help him find an Artifact to return home: The Homeseeker.... more>>

Zalan and his new companion must master the art of battle and their unique Elemental Abilities to survive against increasingly deadly foes. As his growing group quests to a foreboding castle to retrieve the Artifact from a ferocious dragon, their clashing personalities and fighting tactics are put to the test. Some want to participate in glorious combat, others want to use their Elemental Abilities to their fullest extent. Zalan really just wants to go home.

Along the way, Zalan begins to question if this adventure is just an elaborate dream... or if it's his new reality. As Zalan begins to embrace this new world of wonder, he's given the opportunity to take on a role as an adventuring hero, but doing so will mean letting go of his home forever—assuming he's not consumed by the dark secrets he's tried to bury, first.

English is not my first language. I'm doing my best but I'm not even close to 75% certainty that everything I write is grammatically correct.

This novel is vaguely inspired by A Silent Voice/Komi Can't Communicate for its slice of life part and by Genshin Impact/Paladins for its adventure part.

This is a slow-burn isekai story about a young girl named Siya who was born with a weak body into a world that only cares about Strength. Because of this, she isn’t able to even use the only thing she has going for her, a knack for strategy, which is the last thing that the nation of meat heads seems to care about.

She faces many hardships and trials, struggling through abuse, grueling training, and seeing death around every turn. Despite all of this, she presses on, grasping at straws and using everything at her disposal to survive. Turning to devine favor, unique abilities, and even magic and dark magic later on, they each come with a new problem. As she finds unlikely friends, and deals with unthinkable betrayals, she struggles to finally stand tall and place herself in a position of power where her true abilities could finally shine.

This is NOT a revenge story, but that isn’t to say the main character magically forgives people either. <<less

Cruel Male Yandere Werewolf Leader x Cowardly Suicidal Female Human Storyteller
A fated love blossoms in the darkest of places. This is a slow-burn story of obsession and longing in an era of dystopia and shapeshifters.
****
Seven generations ago, the Age of Man came to an end when werewolves banded together, wiping out most of the human race. The survivors are the descendants of those deemed worthy enough to live. In this new world, living is a mercy that the remaining humans should be grateful for. After all, if they’re lucky enough, they might even be chosen as a werewolf’s fated mate on their twenty-fifth year.... more>>

Ranna, a storyteller from District Eleven, has no such grand aspirations. More interested in music and stories than politics, she does her civic duty of reporting to the Capital with her peers on her twenty-fifth year. There has never been a doubt that she would spend the next few months getting tested and collecting tales before returning home to her extended family.

When all her dreams and expectations are crushed with blood and gore, Ranna resolves to die as beautifully as the heroines in her tragic poetry. For rather than living the glamorous life of a werewolf’s mate, Ranna chooses to live and die on her terms. Yet is everything really as black and white as she believes it to be?

For the longest time, Aideen Fiachna had only one prescient wish; to be the daughter her parents could take pride in.... more>>

The idea was a tall order, especially as her father stood at the head of the Templar order, and her grandfather as the Pope. However, she endeavored to try nonetheless.

Yet fate had a different path in store for her.

For all her efforts, all her best laid plans, were but the broken off crumbs of 'one day'. That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being.

Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death.

She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake. Discovering, to her horror, that she had risen. Not somehow resurrected, no, but back in the form of that most hated of beings--the curse of undeath.

What will fate deal her next?

Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.

---------------------------------------

Expect:

-Character progression in a journey of self discovery that spanned the ages

-World building

-Tragedy and Comedy in roughly equal measures

-Occasional action

Do not expect:

-Much in terms of romance

-Politics, barring passing views and mentions

-A lighthearted tale. This story will be a good bit grimmer than my previous one

Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated.

A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world.... more>>

Magic, mad science, multicultural ambience, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M.

Intended for mature audiences, 18+.

~~~*~~~

All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people.

Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use.

Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last?

She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her – especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family?

Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister – and the rekindling of an old flame.

~~~*~~~

Content/ Mature warnings are on for:

Gore: Nothing terribly extreme. Some bleeding wounds and broken bits, but all limbs remain attached and all innards remain inward.

Sexual Content: It's not all smut all the time, but there is some. I aim for not vague but also not overly lewd. Smut chapters are labeled NSFW. Chapters with very brief smut or just some torrid making out or somesuch are labeled NSFW-ish. All on-screen depictions are consensual, but there are a few passing references to noncon having happened off-screen (not to any MCs).

Strong Language: One character really loves to swear, and could probably construct an entire monologue with just various inflections of the F word. So, yeah, that's on too.

Other CWs: Dark themes (abuse, trauma, ptsd, depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms). Mostly in discussions of past events, but there are a few scenes that may be troubling to some readers. <<less

Vero is an orphan, raised by a cruel and abusive master to hunt monsters after the death of her parents. To protect herself in a harsh feudal society, she has adopted a male identity and travels in men’s clothes.... more>>

Located far up in the snowy mountains, where the days are short and the nights are haunted by vampires, the fortress was rumored to have been destroyed long ago. Nevertheless, Vero leaves those close to her behind to learn the truth of her order's origins.

- Serious character development narrative with protagonist failures and setbacks, no ridiculous power scaling.

This is actually a complete remake of my original book by the same name. I've made major changes to the entire story and every character. As I am still attending college, I have only so much time to work on this, but progress is certainly being made. I estimate the book will be anywhere from 80k to 120k words by the end. If you have any feedback you wish to give, or suggestions to make, please do not hesitate. I welcome all criticism, but I don't take everything too seriously so don't feel as though you may offend me by pointing something out. Growth is only achieved by improving where one is lacking, after all. <<less

But the Goddess will not be ignored, and her new paramour will find the Paths more dangerous than a sheltered life could have possibly prepared her for.

What to expect!
1. Polyamorus disaster lesbians who love to snuggle
2. Big friendly ostriches
3. Smexy sex scenes with meaning and purpose
4. Headmates who totally accept your gender identity, but also might be evil
5. Magic systems that require you to drink, meet ancient jerks, and sing about your problems
6. LOTS of fruit and vegetables

Sun Spoken Turn is an adult fantasy story about a transgender character. It has themes of body dysphoria, abuse, sex, sexuality, and how people strive to live better through or even past trauma.

Have you ever wondered what a character in a novel or in a game should be? ... more>>

Do they eat? Sleep? Do they have their own life when you are not reading or playing?

They do not.

When you are not doing anything, we stay still.

To be fair, think about your own life. Is it different from a game without a system? You can not see behind your back, similar to how a character has to render it in a game.

But at least, you have your own life.

While I have to watch the protagonist of the novel find his way into the pants of the female leads.

This is my destiny.

I'm not jealous. Not at all.
