A woman discovers the blurring lines between herself and her mechanical twin.

The Seven Star College has nurtured generations of young psychics. But centuries of prestigious education are there to paint over the vicious treatment of its low-achieving students. Christian Friedd, sophomore dropout, is the latest admission. An outsider who has never displayed abilities and with no apparent link to the Esper community. He’s been placed in the lowest tier of students, Class F.... more>>

Despite his best wishes to escape, a corrosive barrier keeps the students locked inside. And the zealous members of the Student Council watch over the troublemakers, particularly him. At Seven Star…escape is truly impossible.

The eldest prince of the kingdom of Ka got caught in an ambush, aiming for his life.
Unexpectedly, he was rescued by a mysterious man.

In the near future, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and the definition of human are being stretched to their very limits. Humanity has spread out amongst the planets, moons, asteroids, and comets of the solar system, fashioning together new societies and new opportunities, but the stars beyond are still outside of our reach.... more>>

Old and new geopolitical blocs are seeking to dominate the new order beyond Earth and Luna. One such bloc, codenamed the Alliance, recruits Yang Ru to destabilize Mars, in hopes of securing a political and economic foothold on that planet. Yang Ru’s work stokes the flames of civil war on Mars. Two factions emerge, Colonel Valesquez’s 508th Vanguard and Zeyk Duval’s Concerned Citizenry, claiming ownership over the direction of Mars’ uncertain future.

As Mars burns, the violence begins rippling outward. The Alliance and the Alliance’s adversaries begin posturing and readying for bloody and protracted shadow wars throughout the Verse.

To make matters worse, an emerging (and sentient) artificial intelligence, named Osmanthus, is on the rise, infecting computer systems and infrastructure, making her presence known and felt. The warring factions see Osmanthus as a potential ally and weapon in their war for dominance, and they attempt to recruit her for their respective causes. Others, such as the mega church known as the Brethren and Sistren of the Abrahamic Faiths, hope to convert, destroy, or help Osma, as she grows and blossoms into something either uniquely human or something else altogether.

A Protracted Game, a space opera/sci-fi Web serial, is an account of the next steps in humanity’s evolution, as witnessed by Osmanthus, those who built her, those who wish to control her, those who wish to escape her ominous presence, and those caught in the crossfire. <<less

Some say that it was lonely at the top. These two interns begged to disagree.... more>>

For the first time in years, there were two medical science interns that stood at the top of the prestigious Ha’suru National Hospital. And they hated it. Alexa Fuse was the homegrown prodigy. Kaiba Quivers was the foreigner with great skill bred from hard work. They headed their class of interns. They commanded the previously dormant intern committee. Everyday led to constant opposition. Ideals differed. Endless clashes. Two minds. One singular goal: To be the only top intern in this entire institution! And their daily lives spiraled into scheming towards one-upping the other. It was only a matter of time before someone caved in...

For only one could claim victory. Whatever it took, they fought for the top!

Lance is your average popular kid at school who lives by the mantra, “Go with the flow.” He’s spontaneous, messy, and well versed in hiding his true feelings behind a mask.

However, they both have something in common: they came together as a result of a bet. Oh, and they both have monopolizing influences trying to keep them apart.... more>>

Frank Euler once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. ... more>>

On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late.

That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other.

That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind.

So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it.

The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them.

Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited.

Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage.

Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life.

Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. <<less

Oh my sweet child, my sweet Renska, in your prior life you sank into the clutches of death carrying such a heavy secret from those that you loved.

Blessed child of mine, do not fear the gift that I have etched into your flesh. Bear it with strength, wield it with wisdom. It is a gift that shall let you control the destiny of this world.

End the ceaseless cycle of bloodshed that has possessed this world or drown it all in darkness or deny this world completely. Worry not, for I shall be with you till the very end. <<less

Y'know... The blood crazed war maniac. The handsome black haired, red-eyed, cold hearted man? ...Nevermind. Anyways, she swore an oath to lay down her life for the duke. Once she came back from the long trip back to his grace's home. Ariadne found an interesting surprise.

A cute, clumsy little vassal. Although the vassal seemed to be nervous, timid... And of course lovely, she was quite serious about her work. Taking at least many hours in her day to perfect her craft, as well as organize almost everything. Whether it came to politics, or to military.

Why did she work so much? ...Well. That'd be something for both you, and Ariadne to find out! Good luck.
