Sensing her own projection, Joanna calmed herself with a deep set breath. Ever since the extension of their family things had changed. The dynamics that they grew comfortable with in their youth no longer applied. Being a parent to a developing daughter brought on added anxiety. Most of the time they worked through it, adapted. Today was an off day. “Alright, alright. I’ll go get it. Take Cassie, I’ll meet you by the truck.”... more>>

“Meet us by the truck? We need to go, Jo! Leave the backup!” Something twitched nervously at the base of his skull, a threatening beacon, a pull. The sound of whipping wind sliced through wooden beams and aerated throughout the home.

There were barriers—barriers that extended upward endlessly. What lay beyond these barriers remained unbeknown to humanity. Yet, from beyond them emerged unimaginable entities known as Partians. They were eerie, aberrant creatures—often anthropomorphic, but imbued with unnatural strength. An amalgam of both human and animal genes, they far transcended the frontiers of human capability.
Seemingly, they were deemed to be humanity's gravest enemy. Within the barriers, that was.... more>>

Kisatsu Ashira—a fifteen-year-old boy—suffered an irreperable calamity that separated him from his older brother, Ryurei Ashira. The tragedy occurred following the invasion of a foreign organization known as the Clergy, who came from beyond the barriers. Kisatsu embarked on a journey to find his lost brother... only to discover that he must kill him in order to save his homeland—Eukeia.
Within the barriers, that is. <<less

A collection of stories about the second set of Trent Twins, Ryan and Dylan.... more>>

*This is a collection of short stories, not necessarily in any particular order about two brothers who I had a lot of fun developing. They grew up as the third and fourth child in a family of sixteen children and their stories are all after both of their parents have died. Their father died when they were ten from pneumonia and their mother died when they were thirteen. She was killed by a thief whose hideout was near their home. They are on a mission to catch the murderer, and are planning on becoming policemen in separate counties to try and cover more ground. They are in a fictional world of my own making, although its not talked about much. It's rather unrealistic (I mean all of their siblings have a twin) but it is fun!
This is supposed to be light-hearted, clean comedy that is able to be read by a middle-grader. It will have some serious stuff, I mean, come on, they are orphans, but it's written to cheer people up..(Hopefully!) <<less

Trigger and Tip-Off

Renaissance High prides itself as the most prestigious boarding school in the world, its educational services known to have accommodated the poor and marginalized. Known to have been built and founded by a philanthropic organization in Jerusalem called the Renaissance Foundation, the place was deemed to be so eminent, yet shrouded in mystery.... more>>

However, things get heated as rumors attempted to expose their past. Things turn out for the worst, as the Renaissance Foundation turned out to be responsible for causing the Earth's civilization to gradually collapse over the years. Another alarming issue was that Seraphina, the organization's leader, has often dreamt of creating an alternate, utopian universe called Luxuria using Renaissance High's students as test subjects, believing a perfect world was necessary to obtain world peace and order.

Meanwhile, Abu Azrael, a lone young man, seeks out revenge against his father's killer whose identity is unknown. His only solution? Ask Seraphina about the killer's whereabouts.

Will he avenge his father's death and find the truth of Luxuria's existence, putting an end to the Renaissance Foundation, or will his efforts be all for naught? <<less

Years later, Caligula ascends to the throne as the youngest Emperor, becoming a tyrant feared and despised by all. His once-pure soul, twisted by power, has grown bitter and cruel. But Lepidus, the man who ignited his heart and helped shape his path, has returned—haunted by their shared past.

In a world where loyalty and honor are tested, can Lepidus heal the broken man Caligula has become? Or is their love, burning with forbidden desire, the catalyst for Caligula's inevitable destruction?

With every clash, their passion flares hotter, their desire undeniable, as they navigate the dangerous waters of love, betrayal, and power. Will their all-consuming love be their salvation—or their downfall?

In a land of emperors and conspiracies, where the price of passion is often death, one question remains: Can love survive in the shadows of empire? <<less

Si Hua followed He Yanxiao for three years, being docile and well-behaved and never causing any trouble.... more>>

Everyone laughed at her, "What wishful thinking you have to dream of flying up the branch and becoming a phoenix!"

Si Hua believed that she had met her true love and ignored the rumors. However, she discovered that she was only a stand-in for his white moonlight.

On the occasion of her birthday, when He Yanxiao received a call from his first love, Si Hua put down her dignity and begged him.

"Can you not leave?"

The moment He Yanxiao's foot stepped outside the doorway, Si Hua's heart withered. She resolutely wiped away her tears and left with her bag in tow.

Two years later, Si Hua returned, with a happy glow in her eyes, but this time, her eyes were on another man.

Seeing her act all coquettish towards another man, He Yanxiao went crazy with jealousy. He secretly called her at night and pleaded," Hua-Hua, come home with me."

Si Hua hung up on him at that time and issued a complaint to the police, "Hello! I'd like to report a person for harassment."

***

Si Hua arrived in the new city with a scarred heart and didn't expect to meet a gentle and courteous neighbor.

The man named Yan Jun was a gentleman to the bone, who taught her to rely on others and coddled her greatly.

No matter the situation or timing, Yan Jun would tell her, "Don't worry, I'm always there for you."

After mutual confessions and proposals, Si Hua finally understood what it means to love each other unconditionally.

My love for you is not as scorching as the hot sun, but gently falling like the moonlight. <<less

uVR Earth, an advanced piece of tech that fused man and machine. It granted humanity the power of a supercomputer in the skull space of their brains, the dawn of a new age in humanity. But the technology leaped before social laws could catch up.

With machines integrated into your brains, your thoughts became data that could be stolen. You might have just thought of eating an ice cream. A second later, your Augmented Reality interface would advertise the closest ice cream shop.

Privacy? Is that edible? Can I eat it? uVR Earths took data from your brain. Meaning, your eyes became the camera. Anything you see today might be found on the internet later the same day.

People already have an addiction to smartphones. But now, all the features of a smartphone are integrated into their brains. What is the outcome of that you ask? You know it already.

Such a revolutionary tech; does it make sense to use it for a VRMMORPG? A mere VR game, seriously? Why do that when corporates can make you work through Virtual Reality? The moment your boss calls, you’ll log in to Virtual Reality and appear before the office space constructed in the VR world. You’ll happily slave away, freely!

You can work more and fatten the corporates further. Very fun, right? Exactly! It’s a futuristic world that you, me, and everyone will die to experience at least once. Sadly, our MC thinks it’s a dystopia and resists the corporate whales with his shrimp-like power. Unfortunately, this is his story.

What to expect:

A scientific take on corporate abuse when VR tech is made a reality. A decent slow burn with an OP MC that tries to educate society on problems with the VR tech, often failing. A unique power system that realistically makes sense when you think about it. It’s all set in the real world.

Ps: This may or may not be our future. If it becomes a reality, don’t sue me. I’m not giving them ideas. <<less

As the story progresses, Karim unexpectedly comes face-to-face with an ancient force — a primordial entity forged before the dawn of time, powerful enough to shatter the balance of the entire universe. This ancient cosmic being stands as either a threat that could plunge the realms of Necromaniva into collapse, or a final source of hope that might save it all. <<less

(Fanfiction of the show Ever After High).

Small summary of the show:

[In the world of fairytales, the descendants of famous fairytale characters are prepared since childhood to take on hereditary roles to ensure that their stories will live forever. Ever After High is a high school designed for them to interact with each other, and its principal intends to teach them blind obedience to their hereditary destinies. However several students are less than enthusiastic, because their destinies are ominous or because they have significantly different character traits and life goals than their parents and ancestors.

The story initially focuses on Apple White (daughter of Snow White) and Raven Queen (daughter of the Evil Queen). They are destined to be deadly enemies, but they are actually equally benevolent, and Raven hates the idea of being a villain and an outcast.] <<less

Take the events of The Rise of Chaos: Genesis and rewind the time fourteen years in the past.

Vanixian Academy for Divisional Officers is the premiere preparatory school in the city of Axio. In a world threatened by monsters and demons; rising through the ranks of the Divisional Army could give a family political leverage and protection.

Some noble families in the city have to scheme for their children to be admitted, but for the House of Vanixi, admittance is a requirement.

However, for the young Airis Vanixi who would rather do anything than study at school—she is enrolled against her wishes.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The Academy story was initially just a little project to give Airis and Hailey some established backstory while I was working on the main chapters, but I edited it down to something publishable and put it on the Kindle Vella site. If there is enough interest or I find the inspiration I’ll add some more chapters.

This series is not intended to be written in a LitRPG style like the main series, as Airis hasn't received the rune that makes those interactions possible. Though it may reference some of those elements since it's in the same world

This is my first story. It's a slow-paced, (not-so-light-hearted) slice-of-life story set in an alternate world, with a futuristic setting. It has a dash of science-fiction, fantasy, paranormal, LGBT themes and--maybe--some horror aspects, as well. Instead of romance, the story centres around a little boy and his new (non-human) friends.... more>>

Since the chapters are pretty long, they're cut in small portions and each part is published as I write.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE:
1) This story contains LGBT themes, the extent of which is yet to be decided.
2) This story might contain themes some may find uncomfortable to read through or even triggering.
3) This story won't not be written like most novel & chapters' length might differ greatly from one another.
4) Contains homophobia, strong language, bullying, threats, deaths and violence <<less

Aden Welex never asked for fame, and if he had a say in it, he’d give it back with a side of sarcasm. Known far and wide as Amelia’s son, he’s constantly in the shadow of his mother’s legacy—a reputation he never earned but can’t seem to shake. His attempts to stay under the radar are about as successful as sneaking past a pack of werewolf puppies; people notice him whether he wants them to or not.

Sixteen, sharp-witted, and perpetually annoyed, Aden navigates life with a mix of dry humor and quiet frustration. School is a never-ending parade of awkward encounters, unwanted attention, and an allergy to technology that makes everything from datapads to radios explode in his presence. Not that he needs tech—his memory is sharp, his wit is sharper, and his ability to dodge trouble? Well… work in progress.

Despite his reluctance to be the center of attention, Aden has a strong sense of responsibility. His twin sister, Adora, is his anchor in the chaos, matching his sarcasm with sharp comebacks and ensuring he doesn’t retreat too far into his own head. His trusted mount, a striking purple unicorn named Sammy, is more than just a ride—he’s a friend, a troublemaker, and a constant reminder that Aden’s life is anything but ordinary.

But no matter how much he wants a quiet life, trouble has a way of finding Aden. And when it does, he’ll be ready—with a smirk, a plan (probably a bad one), and the stubborn determination to prove he’s more than just a name.

Because if life insists on making him a spectacle, he’s going to make damn sure he steals the show. <<less
