[Being Revised and Redone.]... more>>

Born innocent. Died wicked.
That was Hyun Mi-Young.
She believed herself to be more wicked—
More wicked than those who killed,
even though no blood stained her hands.
More wicked than those who tortured,
even if she left no scars on anyone's body.

She would never reveal her wicked deeds.
They were too vile to be spoken.
All you need to know is that she died.

She asked. Simply asked.
No God. No Devil. No Being.
She just asked:
"If I am to be reborn, to atone for the sins of my past, let me condemn those who have become wicked."

And that was where her new life began.

Nobody expects anything from goblins, especially when they are the lowly daughter of a baker. The Love of a Sword is about a beautiful young goblin woman named Gigi. She lives and works at her family’s bakery, where she endures a life of tedium and repression. She dreams of what adventures lie outside of the confines of family and the village of Poppy. ... more>>

Her counterpart is Drake, a human warlock. When he was a boy, he was plucked by the kingdom from an orphanage to make a pact with a dark god. A contract bound by the ink in the tattoos that cover his entire form. A covenant that commands Drake to control the shadows around him. He whispers to them, and they obey his commands. With mere words, he can make darkness physical. He has used this ability to defend his kingdom, as he was told, sending thousands of men to their deaths. This is the fate of a Sword of Paxia.

He has been chained to the fate of being a living magical weapon—a destiny he rejects. He yearns for a family and freedom from hurting others. To this end, he fakes his death to be free.

However, he succeeds too well and needs to be saved from a watery grave by our slightly inebriated heroine, Gigi. Unsure what to do with the unconscious man, she brings him home. Together, they learn about the worlds they have never experienced alone.

They face domestic and fantastic challenges, such as babysitting lamias, an underground fight club for mythical creatures, teaching orphans to gamble, marauding trolls ruining festivals, and conniving knights conspiring to enslave Drake once more. Can Gigi admit that she may have fallen in love and conquer the fear that if she had, her adventure would be already over? Will Drake admit the truth to Gigi that his powers shorten his lifespan with every spell? Can love overcome, or will tragedy befall them?

Becca Knightley has never known a world other than the Wake; sheltering in the fortress built from a ruined school from the last civilization, hiding from an alien enemy with outposts in the Dream, with no one surviving past their Sad Birthday at 18, save for the Last Adult guiding his children's crusade against the Invaders.... more>>

Jesus Castellano barely knew a world other than the Wake, barely knew a life other than picking over the ruins of the last civilization, desperately wishing he could fight back against the Invaders in his dreams or out of them, hoping against hope that the Last Adult was his father, and worthy of the title.

Meredith Baker remembers a world other than the Wake, a life with enough food and enough medicine and enough hope in the last civilization, acting as navigator and Oracle to her lady knight and the right hand of the last adult, Victoria Lam - and knowing what abuse the Last Adult heaped on her, and planning for the day they no longer need to abide it.

Together, these unlikely heroes must come together, wielding love as a weapon and trust as armor using stolen alien technology none of them can truly understand, and together claw back a world with room for humanity in it from both the occupation of the Invaders and the prejudices of the Last Adult.

This is the story of their children's crusade to save the Dreaming and the Wake alike for humanity. <<less

The city of Voxsturm stands as one of the last cities of Lyra, and after the calamity of Stormfall, humans and all the demi-human and beastkin races struggle to survive, all the while living under constant threat of the storms above. If not for the city's walls, or the wards of the Majari, all would've been lost long ago.... more>>

It is in cities like these that technology runs amok, rivaled only by the magic handed down by lesser gods. And despite the gifts of the Majari, or the most innovative of inventions, it all finds itself fueled by greed, superstition, and corruption. And yet, in this dystopian world, people dream of breaking free from their prisons, and uncover the truth of the storms.

When he was only twelve, while walking home from school, Theo Serrano noticed something odd in an alley near his home. He wasn't sure what it was about the cardboard box that seized his attention, only that it definitely wasn't there yesterday, and upon further inspection he was shocked to find a young girl abandoned and starving. With a whip lash tail at the ready, the poor thing was absolutely terrified, but ever the altruist, Theo rescued the poor succubus and even allowed her into his home. That was something his mother wouldn't tolerate for long. Receiving shelter, food, clothes, and even giving her a name, Lorelei was completely mystified. Sadly, there time together was short, as they were separated shortly upon discovery.

Ten years later, as the world readies itself for yet another war amongst the humans and demi's, both these childhood friends must rediscover one another, before the sky breaks above them.

This story features magic and science, a dystopian setting, and humans living to struggle with plenty of monster races.
Some monster races include (but aren't limited to): Cubi, Lamia, Vampires, Beastkin, elves, dark elves, dragonkin, wyvern, and more.

Eydis, once the feared Queen of Shadows, has crash-landed into the worst nightmare imaginable: high school.... more>>

Reborn as a magic-less teen, she’s now stuck with a body that whines more than a banshee on Halloween night. And her familiar spirits? Vanished. Now she's left with a bank account that reads "insufficient funds” and a host of familiar faces that may or may not be plotting her demise.

And we certainly can’t forget about that giant, pulsating eye watching from the heavens (debatable), ominously known as… The Eye… (I know, right?) that threatens to tear apart her new reality.

Prepare to immerse yourself in a darkly enchanting tale of magic, manipulation, powerplay (not the fun kind!), and the lengths one fallen Queen will go to reclaim her birthright. In a world where power is everything, can Eydis shatter her chains? Or will she be consumed by the very shadows she once commanded?

"I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be."
-Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
-----
-Story Note- This narrative unfolds with multiple layers, twists, and reveals. All questions will be answered in due time.

-Also note- that there are elements of non-linear storytelling, much like the source material.

-Audio listeners- please be aware that this structure may be a bit confusing in chapters that include multiple mediums that are more visually clear.

-About the title- Naruto is a food and so is Sukiyaki. Sukiyaki is also the name of the theme song for the series and both the English and the Japanese versions remain a theme throughout. The tagline is a lyric from the English version and seems to fit well with not just Shanan, but all of the other main characters as well.

tl;dr: I chose this title for the songs and to pay homage to the source material. <<less

Bram can sing like a god of music, he’s great at disguises, and he can fight like he was born to make war — but he can’t do magic, and in a land where sorcery's the dominant force, a man who lacks talent for even basic spells is scorned by everybody…even a prince.... more>>

It’s not all bad. Prince Bram of House Attilan has a secret…two of them.

Inside Bram exists an otherworldly self-improvement system which he unfortunately can’t use because he’s a magicless loser. He also has dreams about another world; one with concrete cities and glass towers that scrape the sky that fill his head with crazy ideas and inventions. Bram figures he can make use of both mysteries, and he’s got a plan for it too.

If he can’t use the system, then he’ll gift it to others, and not just to anybody, but to the people of that other world called Earth who have the talents Bram needs to help his Kingdom of Lotharin prosper. Such an undertaking will require the aid of a master trickster, one powerful enough to help Bram perform the greatest trick ever sold; hoodwinking Earthers into believing they’re playing a videogame while they work to solve the troubles plaguing the kingdom, making Lotharin great again while proving Bram a worthy prince.

High in the clouds above the planet of Venus, thirty students from Venus City Academy class 37 have been unplugged.... more>>

Since the introduction of the highly addictive virtual reality known as Plugnet, a social crisis has begun to escalate in the planet's cloud-cities.

Entire generations of Venusians are growing up and living their whole lives inside of devices called Plugtanks. While inside of these life-supporting tanks, they are constantly connected to the virtual reality leading to a total collapse of real world socialisation and the loss of ability to physically connect to other humans.

To tackle this desocialisation crisis, the Venus City has developed a variety of special projects. Class VC37 has been selected for one of these projects. All thirty students in the class are being forcefully unplugged from their tanks, and thrust, anxious, afraid and ill equipped, back into physical reality.

Forced to cohabitate with other students and to develop their social, physical and romantic relationships in order to complete the project, the students of VC37 will have to learn to adapt to their new existence and to depend on each other in order to survive the project and potentially earn themselves a ticket to leave Venus and the dopamine grip of Plugnet far behind for good. <<less
