Originally turned by the greater demonoid Valak to become a lesser demonoid, the woman that will later be known as Seir was reborn into a feral greater demonoid instead. The berserking new greater demonoid then turned against her creator and killed it, before slaughtering the rest of the lesser demons in the area, but leaving the humans alive.... more>>

In a turn of event, someone managed to subdue the newly born greater demonoid and even suppressed her demonoid cell, reverting the woman back to her human form. Introducing himself as the fabled 'Kamen Rider', the only person rumoured to be able to square up against a greater demonoid, the man explained to the woman that his assistant has crafted a belt that is both capable of suppressing and harnessing the power of the demonoid sleeping within her body.

The man promised to show the rope so that the woman could use her newly found power properly. In the process, the woman learned that the man was in fact, an otherworlder who came to this world for a specific task. After learning that the greater demonoids named themselves with the series of names that bear uncanny resemblance to the names mentioned in an old tale from his home world, the man named the woman 'Seir', citing that the Seir from the old tale was depicted as a beautiful horse rider; fitting as she'll become the rumoured 'kamen rider', replacing him as his main task in this world has now come to an end.

Thus begin the journey of Kamen Rider Seir to rid her world from the menace of the demonoids.

Vale Bryce is a hunter because her dad wants her to be one. She is a loner because all hunters are. She is a drifter because that is how hunters find their jobs. ... more>>

Those are lies. Vale is none of those things, the lies the only thing keeping her alive. Until one day she slips up. A single moment of truth ruins it all, awakening a longing for a life not built on things she isn’t.

Vale has to go back to lying. She has to. The Inquisition will kill her if she doesn’t. But the truth is too addictive. Vale is not a vampire. That is a lie. That is how she will die.

Yet maybe... dying happy is better than dying a lie?

Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future.

Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay?

The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination.

Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim! <<less

A girl from Japan is reborn into another world filled with fantasy. With her memories fragmented, she is unsure whether her memories are truly hers or not.
Born into a nation of half-elves, she soon comes to realize that she's one herself and not any ordinary half-elf, but a member of one of the royal family branches. With this knowledge, she soon finds out the dark reality of this fantasy world where anyone is willing to go to any lengths to climb the hierarchy of this fantasy world.... more>>

Knowing all of this, our protagonist goes on a journey to not just survive in a new world, but to also find a way home.

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.

On a fateful day, a boy and a girl cross-path in the depth of the forest. Lost and in need of shelter, the boy let her live with him in a wooden house built beside an ancient tree.... more>>

Years of harmony passed by and their bonds grew stronger than ever, regarding the other as their own family, perhaps, even closer than that. But everything, no matter good or bad, must come to an end.

On one evening, the teenage boy shared a startling discovery.
“Your brother… I found him”

Overwhelmed by a surge of emotions, her eyes quivered as the memories she had long suppressed and locked away began to haunt her once again.

The desire to send justice to the murderer of her father and mother. The one that cruelly killed them with the knife in his hand on the cold windy night. The one that chased her away tirelessly to the faraway land.

Her loving brother...

And on that evening, the two had a long and heavy discussion. The boy urged her to seek and exact her revenge.
“Then, how about you?”
“Sorry… but I can’t go with you,” he replied with a bittersweet smile.

In the end, the girl yielded and made up her mind to confront her brother. However, unbeknownst to her, something happened when the dawn finally arrived.

The boy… he was found missing.
It was as if he had vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a single clue to his whereabouts. The hint pointed directly at her brother.

And so, she goes. As she cast one last glance at the ancient tree behind her, a flood of memories from her time with the boy overwhelmed her.
And yet, it only reaffirmed her conviction once again and powered herself to face the unknown future in front of her, leaving everything that she cherished before behind.

- Shadowbane is a long story about revenge.

- New writer, figuring it out as I go. Hopefully I'm able to entertain you! <<less

One hundred years ago, being diagnosed with the "affliction" was the kiss of death. Whether by mutation or firing squad, Linnaeans lived notoriously tragic lives. The few that lived suffered from irreversible mutations. These creatures, few as they were, inspired legends of werewolves, mermaids, and sirens. ... more>>

Then came the treatments for the Linnaean affliction. The discovery of temporary gene repression meant that the development of mutations could be slowed and managed. This created an "unholy" new race that shared the DNA of both humans and animals.

Feared and hated by the outside world, they created a stronghold to develop their medicines and amass their power. Today, Linnaeans from all over the continent live in the City of Mendel and train under the renowned Professor Corax, a brilliant and eccentric geneticist.

Just before her eighteenth birthday, Ember is diagnosed with the affliction. Suddenly, instead of moving into her dorms and studying with the brightest in the country, she is whisked off to the City of Mendel by government officials who are as scared of her as she is of them. As she contends with a new city and her own treatment, she'll also have to face the tension of the half-baked treaty between the Linnaean people and the outside world.

There's no doubt - life won't be easy in a city where the population is able to harness the abilities (and instincts) of animals.

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

[Author's Note]: I haven’t written anything for a few years so it might be a bit rough around the edges from the start of the story. The story is planned to have a slightly slow start as it builds up and has some moments of dark themes.

Depending on how busy I am, there might be updates once a week or once every two weeks with the chapters being 1500+ words. <<less
