In a world shaped by divine remnants and ancient war, a disgraced Empress wakes from death—regressed to a time before her downfall. Once revered, Morgana was accused of adultery and executed by the very man she loved. Now, armed with memories of betrayal and ruin, she wants nothing more than to escape her fate and forge a different path—even if it means defying fate itself. She awakens with the Golden Runes—a mysterious power granted by the roaming gods known as the Eldars, whose silence is both a blessing and a curse.... more>>

Life beyond the palace is quieter, steadier, and for the first time—hers. She finds comfort in tending herbs, visiting markets, unexpected friendships and learning the patient craft of brewing potions. Drawn to the gentle rhythm of the Brewmaster’s path, she begins to find healing not through power or revenge, but through creation. Each tincture and elixir becomes a step toward reclaiming her sense of self. Yet even peace has its complications. The past lingers in whispers, and as her name begins to stir old memories and quiet rumors, the life she’s trying to build may not remain untouched for long.

Set in a richly layered world of crumbling empires, mythical ascension, and slow-burning revolution, this is a tale of quiet resistance, self-reinvention, and the burden of knowing what comes next. And in a world where peace is fragile and power divine, one woman’s second chance might be the key to unraveling it all.

What to Expect:

-A slow-burn, slice-of-life story with potion crafting, training, and travel.
-Gradual, meaningful character growth—not just in strength, but in mindset, healing, and perspective.
-A character-driven narrative with rich, relevant world-building woven into every chapter.
-A progression system tied to the divine aspects of the gods—known as Eldars—each representing a force of the world.
-Subtle mysteries, soft magic, and emotional beats that reward patience and immersion.

It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming.

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.

Is it not by way of fate that ardent lovers separate and sworn enemies meet?

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>>

AN: this is a pass time for me, so releases won't be regular(but it's summer so I've got tons of free time), also grammar and punctuation might be a bit off. I'm at about one chapter a week, but I might do two or three if I'm feeling it. I just wanted to write some fantasy in my spare time. With that in mind, please enjoy. <<less

Orren Vale never planned to die over a batch of cider. A former home-brewer and failed startup worker, his last memory is the hiss of pressure and a flash of light—then waking beneath a forest canopy, alive again in a world that feels half-game, half-dream.... more>>

Armed with a sword, a wooden shield, and one baffling profession, Transmuter: Essence Brewer, Orren soon learns his craft lets him turn monster parts into consumables. Slimes become jelly that boosts defense. Berries ferment into wine that glows like starlight. Each recipe brings flavor, power… and the risk of losing himself to the intoxicating magic within.

But this isn’t a warrior’s tale. Orren’s path isn’t forged by battle—it’s brewed, bottled, and sold by hand. With a steep penalty to combat and a strange bonus to creation, he must craft his way to survival in the frontier town of Okevale, where bad mead is plentiful and good coin is rare.

To thrive, he’ll need to master the alchemy of flavor, trust a group of wary adventurers, and maybe learn why the world rewards those who follow what they truly love.

Sensory, grounded, and quietly magical, “A Brewer’s Life in Another World” blends slice-of-life charm with fantasy progression and the aroma of discovery. <<less

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