About:

☆ A relaxed storyline, more about the atmosphere than action (though there is a storyline).

☆ Magic, vampires, necromancers, forests

☆ A bit of foraging, cottages and nature :)

This is a standalone story but is set in the same world as my manga "Israphaellia's Journey" (quite a few years old so the art style isn't as good as my current one) and "Israphaellia's Adventure" (my latest manga). <<less

Midio is shopkeeper, craftsman, and inventor of the workshop Vale of Ash. He's got a secret or two, but that's hardly surprising for a young boy without any parents who owns a property on the outskirts of town.

For now, he's just living his life growing up in fairly unconventional circumstances. Earning a profit isn't too bad, either.... more>>

Not sure where I can throw an authors note so I'll do it here.
Hi, I'm Jaz and I'm writing this book as I go with no plan or plot or editor! Thanks for putting up with me testing some new things for this book. The first two chapters are in third person but that isn't my style usually, I was trying to see if I could use third person but it felt uncomfortable so from chapter 3 I expect I'll be doing first person to make writing easier for me.

At any moment one of the characters could die, simple as. I don't plan on giving any character some 'immunity' to death.
Because I've not fully planned the story, some of the tags might change over time as I decide I can't add some specific aspects, one thing that won't change is the apocalyptic-survival elements.
As for crafting, I plan to make nearly 'method of production' be an aspect I will focus on, that means most forms of crafting with proper recipes which will stay pretty consistent. The characters who we will be watching will struggle and have to research and learn what they do and how to best use them. <<less

AUTHOR NOTE;

Hi, this is a story that for me, is used to relax and enjoy myself. This is something for me to fill my time while I’m on hiatus from writing a novel I have been working on for a while. I plan to do at least 1 chapter a week although this is dependant on time, it could be more, it could be less. I am currently working 2 jobs, unfortunately for me. Cost of living in Australia is getting up there and If I’m ever to own a house, as a young Australian. I have to be working… a lot. This novel is for me to keep my creativity flowing and to keep my brain active. Ultimately I just want to have fun with this story while simultaneously sharing something I’m knowledgable about to the world, plants. That’s about the only thing Frey and I share in common, our obsession with plants. If you end up coming along for the Journey. Thank you, it means a lot. <<less

Way was born, in the year 3025, in the city of Woodwall. A city far tamer than it's name suggested, that claimed to have everything anyone could ask for. For some it did. Way's family was happy, and her neighbors, and friends, but Way was not. Her life was colored the dull, unblemished grey of the high-tech city she grew up in. So Way turned towards the woods for which her home was named, packed her things, and left.
Way didn't know it, but this would be the start of an adventure far greater than she'd planned for.... more>>

Sabine has spent the past decade hiding from the Wild Hunt. But when a charismatic stranger recruits her to retrieve an invaluable artifact, she’ll have to finally reveal her identity… and her dark secrets.... more>>

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The darkness holds more than just secrets...

Marked for death, Sabine escaped from her home more than ten years ago.

But the Wild Hunt will never give up.

It should have been easy to stay hidden. All Sabine had to do was keep her head down, avoid telling anyone about her past, and above all else -- not let her glamour drop.

Even the best-laid plans eventually fall apart.

When a charismatic stranger arrives in the city, Sabine finds herself unwittingly drawn to the power she can sense hidden within him. Keeping her distance is nearly impossible, especially after a life debt is called due and she’s tasked into helping steal a rare artifact.

Sabine is the only one who can break the magical barriers protecting the item, but that means revealing the truth about her identity and exposing her darkest secrets.

Unfortunately, the Fae aren’t the only ones hunting her.

And the most dangerous monsters aren’t always confined to the dark. <<less

Will this life finally hold the threads to change her fate?

The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag.

Why are they screaming?

Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world…

Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest.
