In a normal society, routine is essential. Not everyone is a competent surgeon that faces terrific, yet exciting cases every day. If you look around, there are only so many people that are detectives, solving murder mysteries and such. The exciting jobs, the joy of life, is reserved for others, not for me.... more>>

Those are some of the things that a young businessman called Christian is thinking of everyday after work.

As he steps into the world of the adults, he has to face with the hardships of what it means to become self reliant. Grueling, long hours of work, unsteady schedule and an annoying boss, make it rough for Christian to have any control or excitement in his life.

As he couldn't start any hobbies, due to his work, and couldn't even get a girlfriend to spend time with, he had to rely on the most basic sanity check a human can have: routine. His routine is as simple and basic as he is. Everyday, instead of taking the shorter road to work, he takes a road which leads to a busy crosswalk in the middle of the city.

But, things start to change in his daily routine. News of murders happening on crosswalks appear all over. People become scared of traversing them at night. Christian's routine is thus disrupted. Until one fateful night, as his crosswalk is marked off as a crime scene. He crosses it. He wanted to feel it once more. His sense of control, his beloved crosswalk. As he does...another figure appears on the other end. <<less

This story is a combination of perspectives (1st, 2nd, and 3rd). Star's is in 3rd, the dragon is 2nd, and Prometheus is 1st. This is intentional and there's going to be a shifting of this over the course of the story. So, it's not an error, rather, it's a feature. :) <<less

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.

f I were to describe A Chronicle of Lies in a single sentence, I would describe it as Thomas Covenant meets The Dark Crystal and Neverending Story. I grew up with those films, fell in love with those worlds. They both terrified and enchanted me. I want to recreate these feelings in the reader. I'm also a fan of Stephen R. Donaldson's Magnum opus. Though the idea of a schizophrenic being transported to a fantasy realm was one I had for years, The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant has a tangible influence on my work.

What to expect:

*A world rich with detail and flowing descriptions. I love immersing myself in fantastical settings and I want my readers to feel what I feel.

*Characters that feel real, that live and breathe on each page.

*A slow burn in the beginning, that ramps up as it goes on.

*A troubled, sometimes difficult protagonist who finds himself transported to a majestic, beautiful world, and he doesn't know how to react to it. He is distrustful of its beauty.

After getting stuffed in a suit, Phone Guy (Fritz Smith) finds himself struggling to grapple with the irrationality of the life he now finds himself in. ... more>>

Expect:
- A fun exploration of an interesting philosophy, absurdism.
- Possessed animatronic MC/POV (for the entire story).
- Secret/hidden identity.

Don't expect:
- Romance.
- An accurate timeline.
- Any story based on pizzeria simulator.

I'm writing this both for the philospophy, and to add to my favorite genre of FNAF fanfiction: possessed animatronic MC. You can read this for either, or both! This story is basically a continuation of Phone Guy's phone call during Night 4 (that's the one where he gets stuffed into a suit), and loosely follows the story of the proceeding (chronological) games. Very minor spoilers for the first chapters ahead. This isn't a mystery story, but I'll give the warning regardless. Phone Guy eventually finds himself inside of Funtime Foxy, and has to live life out as the animatronic. He has the illusion disks from the books, but I've heavily nerfed them so they can't be used as a cop out for dealing with his animatronic body. <<less
