Myths have existed for as long as humanity has, to describe that which we could not understand, but almost all of these are told from the human (or some other outsider's) point of view. What if we looked at what the gods were doing, and only caught glimpses of what was happening below, in the world?... more>>

Here we have the tale of the gods, not of Earth, but of a new world, and how they find their own purpose, in the Game of the World.

This story is rather lighthearted, mostly me figuring out how to write characters, so there will be little worldbuilding, because, well... The gods will be doing that. ~æ

<The story is NOT on hiatus, i'm just incredibly slow. Sorry> <<less

Meet Ichiro Yamashita, a 23-year-old ordinary dude who's recently landed a promotion in the Special Inventory Delivery Department of International World Transportation.

Unbeknownst to Ichiro, this encounter awakens unimaginable powers within him, powers that are anything but ordinary. As he goes about his truck-driving routine, oblivious to his newfound abilities in his world, chaos and hilarity ensue.

A light-hearted, slice-of-life action-adventure about a young man who gets caught up in a strange series of events after defeating a shadow being, only to wake up more powerful than ever before...and not knowing it.

Read this story if you want to see:
- A truck driver with the power of a god and he doesn't know it!
- The effects of his actions in his dreams and nightmares on reality!
- The world at large reacting differently to him because they think he's crazy or dangerous!

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.

For time immemorial, the Empire has waged war. ... more>>

They turned their fangs on all who wouldn’t stand with them, striking down both friend and foe alike— forging a legacy of cloaked daggers and bloody struggles in the dark. Theirs is a throne built on the backs of countless tragedies and a million atrocities.

Nevertheless, time passes, and with it, so did memory of their bloodstained deeds.

Now, on an isolated island where a nation grows unchecked, where a new generation grows up without the glory of war, where age-old miracles are spun into new stories, and new inventions serve older purposes— The Empire lives in a time of mundane wonder and tenuous peace.

That isn’t to say that the old horrors have been idle, despite being forgotten.

Where war no longer decimates the street, insidious growths flourish in the shadows of the city's golden lights; modern nightmares veiled in theological lace and rotting silks prowl the dark, all the while less monstrous monsters grow fat on the ruins of war-torn nations.

In another world, heroes wielding virtuous ideals and divine decrees would’ve taken a stand, but the era of stark villainy and righteous heroics are long dead, mercilessly ground to dust and buried beneath the ashes of their world.

Yet despite this, nestled within the capital proper, lives a girl who wants nothing more than to live a steady life. The issues within her society couldn’t mean less to her. After all, she has bigger things to worry about, like deciding what to wear, unearthing the secrets of long-lost art, and fulfilling those promises she made all those years ago.

But as the novelty of peace grows old, and as old plans come to fruition and older enemies crawl into the light, her plans to secure a quiet life grow more distant than ever.

Starry Eyed is a high fantasy web novel about troubled individuals trying to make their way in an uncaring world, where larger-than-life problems often seem more insignificant than personal ones, where old virtues are perverted and new evils are caught in a bittersweet light. The story is set in a world where modern-day fantasy magic meets Victorian and steampunk revolution, in a time similar to our own second industrial revolution, with hints of enlightenment and renaissance era ideals, mixed with contemporary themes.

This story is updated every other week, on Sundays. <<less

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...

I like to record my dreams when I have them and thought I'd post them here.... more>>

Sometimes I'll have a vivid, detailed dream, sometimes it'll be vague with only a few memorable details, sometimes there will be no dream at all, or none worth posting.

Scenes involving Pokemon or lifeguarding tend to be reoccurring themes throughout a lot of the dreams I have. Oddly enough, barely staying airborne by flapping my arms or legs is also something that occasionally reoccurs in my dreams.

I do not promise any degree of quality, but regardless I hope you enjoy whatever happens to be going on here, transcribed from what I experience at night. <<less

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

He climbed the steps of the Demon Queen Castle alone. Both of his sides felt unusually empty. How did it get to this? What did he do wrong? Was it just because he's in debt? Why, oh, why did he borrow that money? Even if it was her dream, he should have just refused, even if it broke her heart. Even if she hates him from then on, he should have refused.... more>>

Ah, right, he has to focus. The top of these stairs does not look attractive to him now. His friends had come here first, and without telling him, they had left him alone.

They left a simple letter: "Wait for us."

And then, three months passed. He should have gone after them immediately. Why did he wait three months, and why didn't they come back? Did the demon queen kill them? What even is that question? If those petrified statues decorating both sides are to be believed, they're dead already. 

A single thought pops up in his mind: "Now then, how did it get this bad?"

Trying out a few changes. I think 6~8k per chapters might be too much. So expect a 3 chapter a week

The cover and illustrations for the character sheets are AI generated, and will be replaced as soon as I have the time for drawing again.

I think I should clarify a few things, since i got a feedback from someone. This story will not contain NTR.

What to expect in smut:
... I don't know actually. I have written several maledom and femdom scenes for this already. And but mostly its just vanilla. You can see the character sheet and their respective fetishes to know what to expect. Oh but there are a few snuff scenes, but its mostly not fetishized(?), there's also a few noncon but that's not what the corruption tag is for. I swear. <<less

Isaac is the only remaining reactor technician of what was once a massive colony ship seeking out a new home planet. Humanity has been forced among the stars. After a cataclysmic event that renders their home world sterile, those who remain blast off and organizes into a single flotilla with a single goal: find a new home to ensure the survival of the human race.

Being among the small group of survivors, Issac and the rest of his crew stumble upon an ancient star ship floating in the outer rim of the flotilla's perimeter. Desperate for reprieve from the uncaring cold of space, they opt to claim it as their own and revive the long-dormant craft.

The beings within the craft threaten to wipe out the newly-arrived inhabitants of the ship. With his people again in peril, he quests to save them and stumbles upon secrets of the flotilla long-lost amid the turmoil and chaos of conflict and discovers that he alone holds the key to his people's salvation and the safety of the rest of humanity itself. <<less
