This is a very slow pace story. So I am really sorry if this is not your cup of tea.

There are things I have to explain about the story background :

First

It happened in some alternate universe. So the historical things that happened there were not identical to what happened in our universe.

Second

The characters live on another planet. So, in that universe, some catastrophe happened on their earth, forcing their ancestor to abandon earth.

Third

It happened thousands of years in the future. The technology is stagnant because they deliberate to choose to be static and reluctant to develop any new technology for some reasons. <<less

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.

This is NOT just another isekai story!... more>>

Eric Noble has a family secret that is so clandestine that even he doesn’t know what it is! He’s bad at love, bad at self-motivating, too good at his accounting job and he just inherited a Mansion from his estranged father. If you want long form storytelling, slow burn relationship building, and the occasional ‘rug pulling’ moment that will make you laugh, cry, and smile, then this story is for you! With swashbuckling action, ‘who done it’ mystery, and sexually charged slice of life drama, the lines of genre are blurred when our hero enters the various worlds of Isekai Mansion!

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

I wrote this story because I wanted to see an Isekai story that did things that aren’t done nearly enough. Like the main character getting to go back to his world. Or getting to go to more than just one world. I tried to keep the setting grounded in earlier western portal fantasy stories like Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Narnia, etc.…but that still retains plenty of the Japanese influences.

What to expect:

This is a comedy story first and foremost but there is plenty of swashbuckling action and adventure. Also, a little bit of romance and innuendo goes on. The harem element is there but nothing extreme. The story starts a little more serious to get you into the adventure and fantasy of it, but it starts getting more humorous after the first several chapters. Also, I took liberty with tonal shifts in this story. Depending on what world Eric visits determines the tone of story telling I take to fit the genre of that particular world. For example, there’s a Noir/Horror world, so the vibe is more in that direction when he goes there. But back at the mansion between worlds, the story is much more Slice of Life/Comedy/Drama driven. The first big story Arc is mostly action/comedy and just getting you used to the characters and how the world works. We go a little bit darker later on, but I promise it gets back to the feels after a bit.

By virtue of war's nature, war itself is not moral or immoral.... more>>

Killing is killing.

But if you want to make yourself feel better about it, remember these two things.

If you can kill the enemy to rescue a friend, kill the enemy. If you a reason to fight, go to any lengths to achieve it.

That is all I can say, Iris. That is fundamentally all I have to teach you.

In a world where Spirits and Humans are fundamentally divided, Iris finds herself balancing along that thin line. She holds the intelligence and understanding of a human, while toying with the magic of Spirits. And she isn't the only one. She joins a scattered and secretive league of mercenaries under the wings of Evalyn Hardridge, the strongest being on the planet. Terrorists, war and espionage threaten to kick down the cage of society they are tasked with guarding, while a collective will of the people yearn for a world less cruel.

Within her is an absolute power that few can have, and only one can rival. As she struggles to understand the power that defines her, and attempts to bring her own meaning to the name 'Iris', the world around her tugs at her strings, manipulating her for their own means. While she travels across the continent, from autocracy to dictatorship to anarchist state, the nations sneer at each other, ready to clash Aether against Diesel, and Iris stands in the center, on the cusp of a new era.
