Official Title: The Criswell's Curse... more>>

Ophelia lived. Then she died.
Like clockwork, her death was predetermined by the flames of fate, emerging in the darkness of her 18th birthday. Yet, time rewinded. Again. And again. After 9 lives of being abused, neglected, married off to monsters instead of men, she had enough.
A saint, some called her. A vixen, others murmured. No one in the high nobility knew who this girl truly was, yet none seemed to not yearn for more, to look away from her bewitching grace. And as chess pieces gather, from the most eligible bachelors in the kingdom to women with peculiar tastes; Ophelia observes the pawns slowly moving, their actions causing bloodshed everywhere they touch. And she loves it.
Has her soul become evil, or has she merely gone insane?

Sneak Peak:
"
“You are both revoked from your duties as my handmaids and hereby expelled from the Wharton’s estate.”
“Thank you, milady!”
“But since you damaged the dresses, you are to repay their full price within three years. If you refuse or fail to obey this command, you’ll have two fingers removed. Pack your things and go.”
“But that’s impossible! You know we can’t pay that amount! You are dooming us to fail, Ophelia!”
The Duke was standing at the corner of the room, looking at them as if they were nothing but mere ants, ready to be squashed at a moment’s notice; however, reality only sunk when they saw the wide grin on my lips.
“I don’t recall giving you permission to address me so casually.” My figure leaned forward, approaching their desperate expressions with satisfaction tingling beneath my skin. “You’ve raised me since I was but an infant, however, my mercy won’t be tested any further.”
"

Report: The Imperium's Vanguard... more>>

Callsign: Demiurge
Unit: 4th Research Division of the Adeptus Psykana

First Entry,
Reporting from the Astorion World.

This expansive world presents an ecosystem teeming with exotic lifeforms hitherto unrecorded within the Imperium's known borders. Of particular interest is the Astorion species, an enigmatic race that transcends our conventional understanding. It is, in essence, a living, breathing world.

Preliminary findings suggest that Astorion is a high-dimensional lifeform, where its very 'body' constitutes its own dimension. As Astorion advances in maturity, it demonstrates an ability to generate additional layers of dimensions, a phenomenon likely attributed to its self-defense mechanisms.

If substantiated, this hypothesis holds profound implications for the Imperium's continuity, mobility and the expansion of lebensraum. Further in-depth examinations and analyses are imperative to comprehending the full extent of the Astorion species' significance.

It was a hot night in August when the unthinkable happened. A night that would go down in history as the best thing that had ever happened to some, and the absolute worst event possible for everyone else. Portals appeared on Earth and people all over the world were transported into video game worlds. Some players obtained great power inside the portals they entered. Many others were not as lucky. ... more>>

Due to strict parents, Redmaw was never allowed to play video games. Raised in an abusive and neglectful household, he was rarely allowed off his parent's property in rural Connecticut. With most of his knowledge of the outside world learned from outdated books, he struggled to survive the chaos caused by the portals. Unfortunately for him, others had already set their sights on the poor Iksar. Surrounded on all sides by new characters that competed for his attention, Redmaw needed to select his companions carefully. The decisions made by him, and those that surrounded him, could have disastrous ramifications for the entire planet.

This story will follow Redmaw as he travels around Earth and enters portals to obtain items and power. The video games played are REAL games that exist in our world right now. Redmaw starts off in an Everquest portal, but any and all games are possible in the future.

This story will be dark. Humans that are spontaneously granted super-powers are already at high-risk of abuse. Add in the collapse of the government, the lack of clean water, the disappearance of easily accessible food, and the world will quickly delve into barbarism. Like a zombie apocalypse, but with fewer zombies. Players in this world will either be strong, obey the strong, or die. Death is not necessarily an escape either, since Clerics with Revive magic and Necromancers with Raise Dead spells exist now. Many characters will not find an escape from this hell. For some, death will be a luxury that they will never be able to afford.

This story is meant to be interactive. Readers can suggest video games for Redmaw to visit and gain benefits from.
Readers are encouraged to dig deeper into the story to unravel the mystery occurring behind the scenes, but it is NOT required. Not all portals Redmaw enters will be crucial to the story, but some of them are incredibly important for his future. <<less

Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change.

Although, that change is not always a good thing.

Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes.

To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force.

This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar.

—-

“We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft.
