Sakashima’s economy and everyone’s quality of life are in peril!... more>>

Everyone is blissfully ignorant except Central Bank Chairman Matsuda and those in the highest echelons of government. When the crap hits the fan and the truth can no longer be denied, the Sakashiman people will want answers… and the blood of those responsible!

Fortunately there is a solution. UN-fortunately the only man alive who can help is a broken shell of his former self; a man destroyed in the past by none other than Chairman Matsuda.

Can this man find the strength to let bygones be bygones and lend his aid? What could Matsuda offer our hero in return for his assistance? Can a high-functioning sociopath like Matsuda even be trusted to deliver on his promises?

Find out in… A Palace of Sea Urchins.

Almost 200 years ago mysterious Cracks opened up to another reality. It happened all across the globe, and the world's powers kept them under wraps from the general population. Inside of these distortions in reality, resides an energy source called Mystic, which was utilized by Supernatural heroes who harnessed powers from contracts they made with beings called Phantasms, and those heroes were named Mystics.... more>>

However not everything that came from the Cracks in reality was good. A threat emerged, countless numbers of entities from another realm, which would come to be known as ꓘhaosbreakers.

The Heretic's Anguish and the Armor of the Fallen were briefly mentioned in season 1 episode 45 of Steven Universe and never brought up again as is the case for many things in the series. This story is my take on the tale of these items and how they could play into the story post Future. As such the story will be a sequel taking place after the events of Steven Universe Future and will introduce a new character known as the Heretic or the Paladin of Rose Quartz prior to his fall from grace. For this story, nothing will be changed prior to the events of Future and I will be working within the... more>> confines of the established lore and will only expand where we have limited to no knowledge. Furthermore, I will be considering the games entirely cannon and references to the light series will be made (primarily the Prisms and Hessonite).

Synopsis:

Many were lost during Rose Quartz's rebellion against the Diamond Authority, but not all were forgotten. Pearl seeks to aid a fallen comrade from her time in the Gem rebellion and will face old demons from the war for earth. The Heretic will struggle to traverse his past after being freed into the present day and will need to come to terms with how the war ended. With the help of a lovable feline companion, he will meet many familiar faces such as Lapis, Peridot, Hessonite, and many more in his search to uncover the mystery of his past. <<less

I was just walking home from my bus stop when I got lost in my thoughts.

Blinding white light flashed around my body as I found myself in a dreamlike landscape. The glow dimmed and I felt a resounding noise in my head. It echoed without speaking. I never did hear what it said, but I instinctively knew what it had conveyed. The presence told me that I was dead. <<less

Everything started the day after a woman and her thugs used me as a punching bag in a dark alley. If you’re thinking that I woke in some medieval-like fantasy world after they got through, you can’t be further from the truth. There are no castles, dungeons, dragons, or magic swords here. The first few minutes, I held out hope that this place would have status bars showing HP/MP, etc. just like a lot of tropes. I mean who wouldn't love some amazing power or magic? Problem is there's no system or cultivation here. ... more>>

But I have a dusty office with an invisible secretary. Oh, and I found out my name by looking at the one stenciled on the office door.

The name Dagger should give you a clue.

Yeah, that woman sent me into a place where I’m a private detective. It's what they called a shamus back in 1940. The thing is this place isn't on the map and I can't leave. Well, not without a huge loss of blood. Trust me, I've tried.

At the end of the day, I’m just an ordinary guy stuck in the past that doesn’t totally match the history books. I can get beat up or killed by any of the gangsters, backstabbing people, or crooked cops I meet. Hell, I can't even tell if the people are NPCs. After all, they seem to have lives like any person you might meet. Then again, how many times to you see dead movie stars wandering around on the streets?

It's another dimension that runs like an old movie, leaving me with no choice but to find a way to escape. While I don’t miss my college classes that much, this place certainly puts a damper on my career hopes. Besides, Lane Dagger has a lot of people trying to kill him.

The girl could barely hide her excitement under her stoic facade, after 6 months of traveling through the demon continent, she can finally finish her journey and rest.

the guards standing beside the gate seemed to have expected her somehow, as they simply let her in without saying anything.

Within a desolate realm, where discarded worlds were stitched together, a rupture tore open, releasing a small child into this fragmented expanse.... more>>

Above him, the sky revealed three eerie moons, while an ominous black mass loomed ominously in their wake.

Disoriented and engulfed by a putrid stench, the child awakened amidst a swamp, its twisted trees groaning under an oppressive haze.

In the distance, the echoing caws of crows intensified the sense of foreboding. To the child's bewilderment, a haunting figure emerged, laboring behind a cart laden with lifeless bodies.

Fear and confusion grip the child's heart as he began to grapple with the enigma of his own existence. Who was he, and what dire fate led him to this grim landscape? The grinning figure drew closer, exacerbating the boy's terror.

Unbeknownst to him, his journey would unveil a profound transformation—an ascent to become the embodiment of fear itself, or perhaps... a beacon of hope amidst the encroaching darkness.
