Hi there! This is my first webnovel story! I hope you will enjoy it and help me make it better!

I try to keep my chapter lenghts between 1,500-2,500 words

The story will follow Silika, the young daughter of an aristocratic count who becomes handicapped and must adapt to a world not designed for people in her situation. She will have to struggle through her disability, religion, family, abuse, trauma and politics. The world will not be kind to her, but she will find her place.

The tone is a bit darker at times in this story, but not in 'edgy' or 'grimdark' ways. They reflect the main character's struggles. There will be happy times, funny times, but also sad times and painful time. The main character will grow and learn in what I hope will be a very interesting experience for you all to read! <<less

Hunter has always been a little different from everyone else. You wouldn’t know it just by looking at him, but those who do know have always looked at him with fear and even disgust. It isn’t his fault. He was born this way… born as a psychic.... more>>

Throughout his life, he’s helped several trans women hatch from their eggs, using his powers to figure out just the right way to push past their denial: his best friend from high school, a college roommate, a rival co-worker… it’s almost become a hobby for him. He isn’t sure what it is about him that attracts eggs or what it is about them that compels him to help.

Into Hunter’s life now comes Mark, a perfectly average kindergarten teacher who has always lived his life dealing with intrusive thoughts, strange mood swings, and inexplicable sudden changes to his habits. When Mark gets kicked out of his home, he ends up taking the first available room that he can find, becoming Hunter’s new roommate and fast friend.

Hunter knows an egg when he sees one, or at least after he’s read their mind. Although Mark’s thoughts are chaotic, they definitely aren't the kind of thoughts that a normal cis man would have, and when Hunter dives deeper into that mind he’ll find out just how right he is about that.

There’s an entire world inside that mind, full of people that his roommate isn’t aware of, and for Hunter, this might just become the ultimate egg hunt. <<less

The Glass Wizard World is filled with fantastic peoples, beasts and places. And then there is wizard artefact hunter Yves who doesn’t really enjoy any of it. Follow him and his familiar into wizarding schools and witches’ forests, to the depth of the ocean and back to floating kingdoms. He insists that you don't.... more>>

In this first book about the Glass Wizard, Yves and his familiar venture to the Crystalline Trench while trying to evade the Mirror World Stalker.

This slow burn original story updates weekly until Yves dies or the Duckman runs out of coffee. Feel invited to explore the Glass Wizard World on the story's website: GlassWizardChronicles.com. Also on Royal Road!

What to expect:
▪ An oh so slow burn [grimdark and psychological] fantasy story with wizards, witches, elves, adventurers' guilds, dystopian human habitats, and many more fantastic peoples and disturbing individuals.
▪ It starts off with an odd wizard seeking refuge in a lighthouse, but he will make it around the world eventually.
▪ You meet Yves in his adulthood, with recurring flashback-chapters revealing the entirety of his life. There are no promises that it is a good life. Or that he is a good person.
▪ Images, songs, quite a bit of rhyming and experiments with layout and fonts to expose the characters' mental state or illustrate magical occurrences [feel invited to take a glimpse at chapters 6.4 and 7.1 for a first impression].
▪ An author who is very slow but tries really hard.

Dear Traveller,
if this story fell into your hands, I hope it will give you something for the heart. It is for those who find comfort in lingering with a character through their journey, for those who seek a sense of solace in the pages they turn, just as my characters search for a purpose or place to belong. This story is for those who read because they wish to explore the depths of someone else's soul.
Thank you for your presence, and for giving this humble story a chance. <<less

This side story will mainly feature two new protagonists and a returning character from the main series.

The side story is not a complete departure stylistically from the rest of the series, but with the absence of our protagonist Silika, our friends will be able to discover a different angle of the world of My Quiet Life. <<less

You ever feel like work culture is downright soul sucking? 8 hours every day, I drag myself through another week. How such a system was ever approved is beyond me as life is so much more than 2 weeks of vacation a year. I have dreams and things I love to do, and they all sometimes feel like a burden, like I’m drowning… But hey, no pity is needed! A change is coming! After gaining extensive expertise in the fragrance industry and collecting capital bit by bit over the years, I’m looking forward to establishing my own brand! Don’t they say life only starts after 30~... more>>

I no longer care about the risks! Too much of my time has already been splurged into the void. To think that throughout the day, I’d look for those tiny breaks to read generic villainess novels… oh how low I have fallen… Though the last one was somewhat unique, now that I think about it.

All male leads were megalomaniacs, and the heroine was an evil incarnate. Only if the story weren’t so dark, I’d put it up to my personal favorites. Also, the ending was an absolute disaster! Don’t you hate it when they kill off every character just for the sake of it?! How did the dragon invasion even come to be? Why did the only good characters have to sacrifice themselves for nothing?! Maybe the author ran out of ideas… You know what? If I were to be in such a world… No, never mind.

Because now I am! I suddenly wake in the body of a future side character. As a younger woman who in her later years would become a renowned alchemist! And now I have two choices. Either marry a degenerate from some significant family or become a professor at a prestigious academy. Everything aside, in twenty years, the world is ending, and I have to somehow prevent it all by myself! Can you imagine?! <<less
