I, Mick Chadwick, regret to inform my readers that this memoir contains nothing but the truth, which in the case of Tobias MacClain, most ridiculed as Pajama Boy, is far from pleasant. If you seek to relate to a hero more than to aspire to them and have the stomach for unpleasant things such as a hero left for dead, villainous scars, bomb threats, and murderous intent, then look no further. All of these gruesome things and more await from my research, and though I do not wish them on any man or woman, I cannot bear this burden on my own much longer. ... more>>

In the words of Tobias MacClain himself, "Sometimes, a villainous act can cause the greatest good." I hope that all my villainous acts of sneaking, blackmailing, diary-reading, and grave-digging, among others, will be redeemed as I present this complete and truthful memoir to the world, and with any luck, open eyes to the truth of what we call "villainy". <<less

Midnight Magnolia- the number one headache of the Liyuan Bureau of Investigation.
On the 12th for the five months since the killer started his job,... more>> a corpse would be discovered and a single magnolia flower would always be found accompanying the dead.
It was outrageous because the General of the Bureau was no other than the son of a very noble Chief Sect Leader. His name was Gu Changming, the next generation's most promising successor to the continent's headmaster position and the awardee of the fiercest temper in Liyuan.
If Gu Changming failed to catch him for five whole months, was it because he was incompetent, or was it because the killer was too great?
Later, the question was answered when General Gu met another awardee to the most misleading face, Wan Mingyue. Although they did not mix well, the two made a deal that unraveled all parts of the ugly reality they were living in. <<less

My name is Levi. I’m a journalist, I’m autistic, I’m bad at magic, and I swear I didn’t kill her.... more>>

Research for the paper usually falls into a few basic patterns. Someone in the city says there’s a troll under Buck O'Neil Bridge, or they’ll call just so a friendly ear will listen to them complain about a pixie infestation.

That sort of content carries me through slow news weeks. It’s rare that I uncover a murder.

Being framed for murder, though? That’s a first.

With the Wizard’s Council hunting me for a crime I didn’t commit, I’ve got no choice but to solve the murder and clear my name. If I don’t unravel this case, nobody will, and I’ll go down for it so hard I might never see the light of day again. <<less

City of a Hundred Gates, City of Worlds—Ahskra, metropolis of many millions of souls. So long has the city stood that few know its origin, its ancient history; fewer still(if any indeed) know how the gates—portals each to another planet—came into being. Many are the stories that have been told, and many those that still unfurl, for Ahskra is the hub of worlds, the centre of trade for many of those disparate souls who call it, and the realms connected to its gates, home.... more>>

In the year 2000, 18-year-old Steven Vincenzo moved from the Philippines to the USA due to his father's promotion. They settle down in a small neighborhood known as Izzaya, in a city called Haggrew. Just a few days after moving, he finds out about a dark past from the Prohibition Era that still haunts the neighborhood, a dark past full of grizzly murders and kidnappings. Determined to know more about it, he finds out that there are ties to an old abandoned house he always passes by in the neighborhood, seeing it as a lead. Hesitant at first,... more>> due to the fear of breaking and entering. In order to find out more, he needed to go into the abandoned house where he finds a mysterious door that isn't like any other in the house. The infamous door that was presumed to be "The Culprit's Room." He enters the room where he suddenly got sucked in by an unstoppable force.
He wakes up outside the abandoned house, to a confused girl in front of him trying to get him back into his senses. This girl was wearing vintage clothing and had quite a distinct accent that Steven had never heard of before, except in movies and TV series. Looking around, he knew something was definitely wrong. The abandoned house looked newly built along with other old houses in the vicinity. Trying to understand the situation he's in with all the clues he has, he eventually asks the girl what year it currently was to confirm his speculations. To this, the girl replies with a serious tone, "1927."

Steven doesn't know what to do with all this information. Will he be happy that he could know more about the dark past and possibly try preventing it? Will he be distressed in trying to figure out how to come back to his own time?

Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided for her by her father. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy.

One fateful day, the government offers Miguela an opportunity to join a team tasked with the mission of gathering intelligence via scrying magik. The catch is that Miguela and her associates can only scry the deceased.

Miguela finds the memories of the dead haunting but is adamant not to fail because the prospect of regaining control of her life and using her magik to help others gives her a purpose in life that she never had before. Of course, Miguela soon discovers her new job has an exorbitant cost. Will she be willing to pay when the bill comes due?

Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal!

What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal?

I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers.

The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology.

This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story.

In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.

Red Town is a spoof noir, which follows Private Eye Kirk Jerk as he delves into the murky underworld lowlifes, thieves, and the most despicable... more>> of them all, writers. <<less

Humanity's rise to the modern era came about after discoveries by one naturalist: Ilver Tessen. Two centuries ago, Ilver discovered that what had previously been known as "magic" was merely the unusual properties of a substance now known as Tessenium. He founded a group of chemists, engineers, and architects who followed him and researched the strange metallic crystal, and with time, they made the city of Mett Vell the first industrial stronghold of the world. In return, the people of the city founded The Faith, a secular devotion to Tessenium Artifice and the Order of the Wall that discovered it and built the great barrier around their city.... more>>

Today, few in the city are willing to travel outside the walls without need, for the forested wilderness starts mere miles from the city in almost any direction, and there wander the dangerous direbeasts, transformed by Tessenium exposure. Even worse, rumors still persist that between the safe havens of the farming strongholds, cultists--deniers of the truth about magic--still wander, tearing down the minds and walls of any who crosses their paths.

But some must leave the safety of the strongholds and barrier wall. Trappers are one such group, making their living by traveling into the wilderness to collect samples of rare and valuable Tessenium-rich plant life such as Illver's ash tree or the glasspetal flower. In desperate times, trappers are even prepared to face the direbeasts, hoping to sell their pelts, furs, and feathers to the wealthiest of the city's residents. <<less
