Merrick Kandlebern had always thought there were those around him who deserved to join the ranks of the Magical Girls and Guardians, champions of Hope and aided by their familiars and the Transcendents.

But when one of the worst Inversion Upheaval's in recent times strikes during what was supposed to be their final performance for an orchestra class within a theme park centered around the protectors of humanity themselves, something's going to have to give. Not unless they want what was supposed to be their final performance in orchestra to become their swan song in life.

This is the story of a world that has and forever will exist. It has no start or end, it simply is. Over time, an... more>> infinite number of societies, histories, and peoples have piled up. Chaos surrounds every corner of the world, and right in the middle of it all, is a girl who much like her world, has always existed. When you've lived forever, meaning becomes meaningless, memories make no sense, and life loses all meaning. The only way to stop the torture is death, and that's not really possible when you're immortal. <<less

I really should’ve taken the publisher’s employment contract more seriously…

Rachel and her best friend Nora never imagined their first job at a publishing company would catapult them into the heart of their favorite fantasy web novel. Five years after the story's abrupt hiatus left fans in limbo, they seized the chance to help the enigmatic author complete the tale that had captivated their hearts during their high school days. But what begins as an exciting creative endeavor quickly spirals into a quirky, unimaginable adventure when they're whisked away without consent into the very story they longed to save. Now, the two will get firsthand experience dealing with the destructive demon lord who betrayed and banished the heroine during the story's original cliffhanger.

But what if he isn't the card-carrying villain everyone else seems to think he is?

Seven generations ago, the Age of Man came to an end when werewolves banded together, wiping out most of the human race. The survivors are the descendants of those deemed worthy enough to live.

After all, if they’re lucky enough, they might even be chosen as a werewolf’s fated mate on their twenty-fifth year.... more>>

Ranna, a storyteller from District Eleven, has no such grand aspirations.

When all her dreams and expectations are crushed with blood and gore, Ranna resolves to die as beautifully as the heroines in her tragic poetry. For rather than living the glamorous life of a werewolf’s mate, Ranna chooses to live and die on her terms. Yet is everything really as black and white as she believes it to be?
