Dreams.
I never thought much about them.
Mostly for the point that I could never remember any of mine.
And the bits and pieces that remain would never make sense.
This is what dreams are like after all.
Just some random mix, thrown together by an unstable mind to get over the stuff which bothered one during the day.
At least that's what I thought.
Until they turned against me.
Twisted everything I knew and turned my whole existence into a nightmare.
But the thing is...... more>>

It's mine. <<less

Do you have a dream? Who hasn’t, right? But do you have what it takes to pursue it?... more>>

Ever since childhood it was my dream to travel the world; experience new things; meet new people. It, however, couldn’t be – my severe illness gradually limited and finally destroyed each of them: from going to the North Pole and seeing Aurora Borealis with my friends; through going camping in neighbouring forest with my family; to just leaving the confines of my room in the hospice and craving simple human touch. My terminal illness slowly took everything from me, giving me only misery. And when I had nothing more to lose – it finally took my life.

That would be the end of a story – but by a sheer cosmic coincidence, a powerful entity picked up my lost soul and gave a body of my dreams: strong, fast, vivacious, beautiful – a perfect body. Then I was left in a completely new world – one brimming with magic, unknown creatures, breathtaking scenery, and various peoples with vivid and fascinating cultures.

I couldn’t realize my dreams in my past life. This time, I can do everything I ever wanted – and fulfil even desires I had no idea I had.

Two is company, three is a crowd. Nine is a cult.... more>>

Having to fight a duel to the death at the start of my first day on the job was a new one for me.

Waking up with no memory was also odd. I think. But neither of those came close to the absurdity of having beautiful and deadly women ready and eager to kill for me.

What I need from them now, though, is nothing special. I just need them to teach me how to lead a cult of assassins. No big deal.

Synopsis: Floating in the air just in the middle of Times Square in new york was a strange crack in the air that emitted a strange golden light, set as a perimeter around said crack, were countless US Soldiers, Tanks, Attack Helicopters, and jets flying overhead.... more>>

Suddenly the crack let out a deeper glow for a second as a figure materialized just next to the crack.

It was a man, or what appeared to be a man.

Pale white skin, glowing blue flames where the eyes should be, a strange crowned helmet, long snow white hair, strange armor with a skull molded onto the belt, and knee guards. In the man's hands was a glowing blue long sword with a skull just between the blade and guard.

Suddenly, dozens more figures started appearing around the crack too. Men and women wearing strange armor with decayed skin and missing flesh. They were undead. And each of them had the same blue flame inside their eyes and mouths...

The Lich King and his army have arrived in a new world. <<less

[Volume 1] Rosalie Edgeworth: the queen bee of Lassen Academy and Janet Fleming’s two-faced nemesis. Why does the school seem to revolve around Rosalie? How can Prince Blaise not see her for the bitch she really is? And why won’t the Prince even listen to Janet’s side of it? In the aftermath of Rosalie’s latest schemes, Janet finds the answer in unexpected allies: ghost-clones of herself, a weird little-sister shop owner, a bespectacled folklore otaku, a sluggard knight, three ghost-obsessed girls, and two former saintess candidates, among others. Meeting these people leads Janet to the truth about Rosalie’s identity and a dangerous conspiracy surrounding her.... more>>

After uncovering the truth, Janet and her school mates find themselves outnumbered and in need of allies. So they keep a low profile amidst a school investigation as they train their powers with more allies: three talking statuettes, the talking bust of a former knight-at-arms, a talking suit of armor, a duke with a cousin complex, and an overprotective marquess father. Despite the hellish training, Janet plays Lady Dorian’s two-faced game a little too well for Lady Dorian to take things lying down. <<less

[Ding!]

"Eh? Has my help finally arrived?"

[Congratulations, Host! You have been chosen as the host of the Antagonist Simulator System!]

"Finally! Fina-... wait... What do you mean by Antagonist? Shouldn't it just be a Simulator without an Antagonist?"

[As the name suggests, the Antagonist Simulator System is specifically designed for individuals with high aspirations to become antagonists, and you have been selected to be the Ultimate Antagonist! Congratulations, Host!]

"Huh? Ultimate Antagonist? Wtf? How does someone as gentle as me fit as the ultimate antagonist?"

[Not so.]

[Host, you undoubtedly possess a strong motivation, clear plans, firm will, undisclosed secrets, outstanding execution, remarkable personality charm, and the determination to subvert the world.]

[Undoubtedly, you are the perfect candidate for the ultimate antagonist.]

WTF?

...
[You were borns as the son of the King Vortigern.]

[You pulled out the sword from the stone but inserted it back, and the sword emitted a resounding mournful cry]

[You promoted agriculture, popularized education, abolished nobility, knights scorned you as the ominous son of the disaster-bringing white dragon]

[You sacrificed Vortigern, gathered the remaining flames of the remnant age of gods, and launched the final assault towards the inner sea of the planet]

[Your wife and daughter died at the hands of Ares]

[You set the Olympus Temple ablaze]

For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been preyed upon by Harbingers, living nightmares which devour dreams and passions and souls, and defended by Keepers. These children alone hold the gift of magic, the wild and wondrous ability to impose emotions over reality and empower their frail bodies with the splendor of their souls. Under their protection, humanity was able to survive and thrive.... more>>

While modern Keepers have come to enjoy a social position somewhere between celebrities and religious idols, very few accept the mantle simply to be a hero. The Messengers of the Goddess Claiasya, spirits charged with awakening the magic in suitable souls, promise that Keepers who consume and purify enough Harbingers will obtain the power to change themselves or the world in nearly any way they wish.

It’s for this purpose that Liadain Shiel, a young girl born terminally ill, throws herself into life as a Keeper when her opportunity comes, hoping against hope to rewrite her fate and save her life while she still can.

But magic wants its wielders to grow and change, not simply continue living, and the secrets swimming beneath the sea and behind the sky have lives and designs of their own.

Nowhere Stars is an ongoing fantasy-horror web novel about traumacore magical girls, nightmares clothed in ribbons and lace, alienation from reality, and broken children twisting the world into whatever shape they must to make their dreams come true.

Dear Journal,... more>>

I had THAT dream once again. You know, the one where I'm a cute girl hanging around other girls. She looks so beautiful and happy; I'm jealous. Of course, how could I not be jealous when she has no worries like me!

And I want to clarify something: when I mention the girl part, I'm not implying anything about my masculinity. After all, as the man that I am, it's perfectly normal for me to dream about being a girl every night, right?

Although, I think something about these dreams isn't normal. Like, why do I have horns and a tail, and why is there always a demon girl that looks at me from the corner of my view? Why do I love it when she calls me cute every time? Well... whatever. Dreams are sadly only dreams in the end. <<less

Inside his dream, he became the supreme being, lived for billions of years and created several powerful techniques that surpass what the old man gave to him. And more importantly, inside his dream, he created his harem!

Welcome everyone to my next story series, Forging Bonds. It takes place in the same world as the Age of Cataclysm series, but several years prior. In case you follow the Age of Cataclysm series but haven't heard the news, I'm taking a break from it to avoid a burnout, and I have this new series in my head for awhile. I'll do my best to keep the two series indepedent from each other so you don't have to read this to understand the Age of Cataclysm and vice versa, but there maybe references from the other story. Forging Bonds is more of a slice of life story, so there's less fireballs flying around and sword fights (I've been wanting to expand my writing into different areas). This story will contain numerous instances of adult characters engaging in sex of an incestuous nature or not and may contain kinks such as rough sex, domination, bdsm, etc. If it doesn't appeal to you, I suggest reading another story. This story will be first-person from a single character except for the prologue, and it will be a slow build towards certain milestones.

Sixteen-year-old Thenio Iterune has a simple plan for his life: Work hard. Do well in school. Become a qualified wizard. Earn a good living. And maybe even make his parents proud of him someday.... more>>

Unfortunately, the plan isn't going too well....

Thenio's magic power is becoming increasingly difficult to control, which leads to a series of accidents that are about to cost him his hard-earned spot at the Kafron Royal Academy of Magic. And things don't get any better when he finally discovers the source of his problems: He has an extremely rare and unstable magic affinity. And it's going to do more than just get him expelled. It's probably going to get him killed.

Before he knows it, Thenio has gone from diligent student to disabled dropout. And forget about career plans...he'll be lucky if he even lives long enough to need a job in the first place.

Enter Iggy, a tiny black dragon who loves chasing birds and has a remarkable nose for magic. He takes an immediate liking to the scent of Thenio's unique magic and convinces his wizard partner, Ariom, to help find a way to stabilize it.

Are a genius enchanter and his slightly crazy dragon familiar enough to keep a chronically explosive boy alive? Maybe. But that's before demons get added into the mix....

Meet Zanda, fresh from the prestige of becoming a Gevurah, member of the Fifth Sephirah, a powerful league of guardians in charge of protecting the seemingly perfect reality of planet Malkuth. Yet, her first day after graduation spirals into unforeseen chaos, reminding her that the luminosity of malkuthian society masks a profound darkness. As the young Gevurah confronts the challenges her new title involves, she is thrust into a journey beyond the realms of her training and expectations.... more>>

Parallel to Zanda's tale is that of Adria, a woman ensnarled in the brutal survivalist life of Dictaduria, the third country in the continent for exiled criminals, Sectum. Wrongly accused of her crimes, living in poverty and marooned in a social structure designed to mirror the struggles of a life under failed political regimes, Adria finds herself forgotten by time. That, until the day an unexpected opportunity that could change the core of who she is, and bring her liberty, presents itself when a bloodied and tortured man named Corven crosses her path, about to be murdered by sadistic hands.

"A Tree of Omens" is meant to interlace the destinies of Zanda and Adria, two souls from disparate worlds, bound by a shared fate that will pave the path for new generations in a galaxy where futuristic ideals and ancient secrets collide.

With the promise of a timeless epic that not only questions the nature of utopia but also the very fabric that weaves our universe, this is an open invitation to witness the unfolding of The Omens.
