Waking up in a familiar yet foreign world, Evelyn must rebuild the world from the ground up. Words of advice, just don’t fully trust the system.... more>>

[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. It is planned to be a kingdom building/world building story as well as one revolving around the ‘Hunters genre’ like Solo Leveling but not from the Hunter’s side of the story. 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

Sometimes I daydream about epic battles with swords and dragons, well-crafted intrigues between noble families or forbidden rituals performed by witches on a full moon.... more>> /> Occasionally, these stories are part of a larger narrative, divided into many chapters with a beginning, middle and end, which I may post about one day. But for the vast majority of the time, it's an isolated scene in a world yet to be built that I daydream about. These ephemeral snippets, I don't know where to put them for the rest of the world to see. So I'll post them here, and hope you like them.
Thousands of story fragments, talking about hundreds of characters, touching on dozens of different themes. Chaos reigns here, and that's perfectly fine.

'Allie held a deep-seated resentment towards god. As a child, she was raised Lutheran Christian though it never settled in. She figured her mother needed... more>> something to believe in. Leslie Smith was a hopeful woman, despite her life’s transgressions. Her mother often worked two or even three jobs to keep them afloat and at times could be neglectful- all of that was crumbs compared to what the Winchesters had endured.

But when death came knocking no god attended. No one helped. Allie was left alone to pick up the pieces and through that abandoned faith, if she ever had much. What God had ever given a shit about her? Hours spent in confinement with others saying the prayer, only to be forgotten.'
