The F Rank Journey... more>>

Synopsis:

Bravery has many forms. Sometimes it shows up when someone shares something as simple as a sandwich. Other times, it shows itself through the loyalty of a son to the memory of his father. Honor, love, friendship. In the country of Lergo those things are still cherished, despite the war which raged there ten years ago.

Four boys stick together despite the odds. Life puts them through heartbreak, hunger and hardship. And yet, they still managed to right the wrongs of those long since dead. For it doesn’t matter to them what they lose, as long as they can make the world a better place.
Follow Lars, Nate, Mike and Jean on their F Rank Journey. A journey which tests them, but fails to mar their souls.

The novella is complete and has 35 chapters in total. I will be posting it as an e-book on DeviantArt as well, formatted and with linked TOC, so if you don't want to wait for the updates, you can just download. I go by doravg94 there.

I would love to hear from you, don't be a stranger! =)

"This Book is the Summer Journal of Evan Daniels in the year 1993! If found, please turn in at the front desk of the Squire Apartments located next to Fairhill Square if you're in Philly. If you find it in Muldraugh, then please return this to 222 Hostler Way. This is important, please! It's for my summer assignment! "... more>>

An average, normal looking journal whose cover worn and damaged with wear and stained with what is hopefully more tears and sweat than blood. What was supposed to be an assignment covering what your summer job was like became a tale of a desperate struggle for survival and a meaning for that survival. It is July 1993 in Kentucky, and hell has run out of room and released its prisoners. On the 1st, the local municipal company had to shut off land lines into the region . On the 4th despite difficulties in staff becoming ill the Independence Day celebration went off without a hitch. On the 6th, the Military blockaded the entire region south of Louisville and north of Fort Knox going as far west as the crook in the Ohio River. It was a large enough area that it contained Muldraugh, West Point, Valley Station and other small communities and covered territory of four separate counties: Meade, Hardin, Bullit and Jefferson. This is a region referred to by its inhabitants as 'Knox Country'.

No one outside of the boundary was told of what was going on within, save only that a disease had emerged and was being contained and the individuals afflicted cared for. With the landlines down there was no way to communicate with those within save to pray and hope that God himself delivered the message with one of his angels. Within the boundary... a nightmare was unfolding unlike any other the world had ever seen. People grew sick, then they died... but not all the way.

They returned, ferocious and hungry. Eager for flesh of any sort, but their fellow man's most of all.

Why was this happening? What was the cause of all this? Was this a purposeful attack by another nation, a mutation induced by science in its hubris, or God's Divine Wrath poured down on us all for our hubris and sin? Was there even a purposeful cause at all, or was this just a new twist in nature's evolutionary game?

Perhaps answering questions like those are what motivated this young man to keep writing in his journal in these dark days. Perhaps in these records of his experiences, some measure of the truth can be found. But the record within this tome may not be for the frail of heart, for this is not a triumphant hero's journey, nor a coming of age tale.

This is the story of how we died. <<less

"My name is Faith Elizabeth Samuels. Well, it used to be, before I left my fundamentalist helicopter parents and started going by Luna... My counselor tells me writing will help me to 'heal'. Somehow, writing my feelings of depression, anxiety, self harm and suicidal thoughts will negate a lifetime of 'bad feelings' about my self image, mental health and general well-being. Sounds legit. So, fair reader, does my little tale of woe intrigue you? If so, come join my merry band of misfits on this roller coaster of life."... more>>

A -sometimes- uplifting story about growing up and overcoming life's challenges. Laugh, cry and smile with our cynical author as she tries to traverse what comes after high school. Battling her inner demons and conquering the ever-terrifying world of adulting. She might even fall in love on the way...

*There are no perfect people in this story; no villains, no perfect protagonists and no fairytale romance. There is, however, realistic examples of neurodivergence, discovering yourself, LGBTQIA characters and nuanced depictions of mental health problems, self harm, religious and generational trauma.*

Rated Mature (17+) For themes of self-harm, depression, anxiety and some sexuality. **NOT EXPLICIT** <<less

However, during the transferring process, Aika got cold feet at the last second and her partner, alongside her magical powers were sent somewhere else. About to be stricken down by her assailant.

Her savior... just happened to be one of her detested teachers, Shinjirou Tsunaboshi... and also her uncle, who happened to be passed out drunk in the gym storage nearby.

"My name is Arthur Callon and I’m a loser. I’m what most people would call a loser at least. If you picture a loser: A 24 year old fat-ass living alone spending all his extra barely over minimum wage job money on junk food, and video games. I watch anime too much, I sleep all day if I'm not working, I only talk to people on the internet, and I obviously have never had a girlfriend or even kissed a girl. Seeing how losers aren't exactly heroic, how the hell am I standing here buck naked in this forest after just talking to a god?"... more>>

The only answer is to move forward and try his best not to suffer horribly at the hands of fate. <<less

This is a story about magic and monsters, about girls and gays, and about discovering your true self. It is a story about love, about identity, and about understanding.
