A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world.... more>>

Magic, mad science, multicultural ambience, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M.

Intended for mature audiences, 18+.

~~~*~~~

All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people.

Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use.

Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last?

She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her – especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family?

Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister – and the rekindling of an old flame.

Content/ Mature warnings are on for:

Gore: Nothing terribly extreme. Some bleeding wounds and broken bits, but all limbs remain attached and all innards remain inward.

Sexual Content: It's not all smut all the time, but there is some. I aim for not vague but also not overly lewd. Smut chapters are labeled NSFW. Chapters with very brief smut or just some torrid making out or somesuch are labeled NSFW-ish. All on-screen depictions are consensual, but there are a few passing references to noncon having happened off-screen (not to any MCs).

Strong Language: One character really loves to swear, and could probably construct an entire monologue with just various inflections of the F word. So, yeah, that's on too.

Other CWs: Dark themes (abuse, trauma, ptsd, depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms). Mostly in discussions of past events, but there are a few scenes that may be troubling to some readers. <<less

Corrupted. Monsters born from nightmares and the extremes of the human psyche, bearing anomalous properties and powers beyond imagination. Despairs manifest and weave creatures from the void, straight from the hearts and minds of the collective.

When a pilot with no name breaks through a rift to a dying world, he and his experimental fighter-plane become the only things in the way of a horrific army of monsters that is marching to burn down the mystical world tree and kill its keeper as the final symbol of their grim victory.... more>>

What happens when an emotionless killer is transported to another place, when a man who was trained to hunt in the skies above barren ash-lands now becomes the last protector of the perfect garden below instead?

What happens when a soldier with as much blood on his hands as engine grease must find a way to live together with a peaceful incarnation of nature itself — a dryad — in order to save the last sparks of life on her fading world from a series of invasions that never seem to end?
_______________________
The one-thousand year crisis has begun.

The world tree, towering up toward the heavenly skies, is the greatest beacon of resilience and peace that there is. Saturated with deeply set, ancient magical energies, it is the most powerful source of ambient, restorative magic that the dying world has ever known. Guarded solely now by its last pacifistic caretaker, a forest dryad, it seems inevitable that it will soon be destroyed with nobody around who is strong enough to protect it from the steadily approaching danger.

Rising from the shadows, horrific monsters from forgotten eras tear through the world in the steadily growing waves of their invasion, breaking free from their ancient prisons deep below its surface as they rampage and destroy the cities of men, elves, and all the other races of the many continents. Filled with nothing but an intent to kill, the system-manifested hordes march toward the last garden in order to bring about the end of the last era.

As one nation after the other falls, everything seems lost, until fate intervenes and a rift between worlds opens, bringing in the only hope the many nations, the sacred tree, as well as its peace-loving caretaker, have against the endless tide of blood and fangs — a transmigrated war pilot, flying an experimental combat aircraft, the Jagdflugzeug-09 'Kestrel'.

Is this one man enough to stop the monster invasions, which grow stronger and stronger with every subsequent wave? Can the pilot with no name carry the fate of the world upon his wings, or can he only watch from above as the fires of the apocalypse reach up to the sky to consume him as well before the fall of final darkness?

Reincarnation, fantasy, and magic, in my past life world there was no such thing yet I read some literary works for a spare time. There were even jokes that my potential can even grow further if there's those factors around.... more>>

Reincarnated in another world as one of the royals in a fantasy world in a country called The United Covenant of Chevalynthea, it indeed hit a jackpot as I started setting my plans and desire to motion while throwing in my contributions under the different alias.

The best part? The country's real classified politburo and all the living founders of the country approved it as per practice and tradition for a royalty to know the ways of the world itself, and train and get stronger.

While it remained that way ever since in that arrangement of training, I watched things unfolded with a merging of the worlds phenomena.

"I know what you will say next as befitting of your stature and personality in this scene you and your lackeys created. You're like that particular character trope from the literary works I read. I got many ways to deal with persons such as yourself just as I had done to a certain laughing stock of a disbanded political party from Segliora."

"It's not my fault your former fiancée enjoys my presence and my insights about the roles of royalty in a country and what should be their stage in the world itself, and magic. You got like what? Your engagement broke off and led to this. Speaking of which, your former country and world, you know the terms simp and generic male harem MC, right? If that is so, then you don't really get things here including her very own homeland in this magical fantasy world because this country is a constitutional monarchy state as such the monarch and the royal family must be strong and be there for their subjects. I will not apologize to what I will do next - welcome to your bad ending."

"Another day of a member of nobility being a frog in the well at matters and discrimination because of this country's magic system. Allow me to introduce myself."

"Using religion to fatten your pockets and running away from the act? Allow this errant traveler to let you 'sing'."

"Surprised? That's one of my personal creation spells."

I ponder to myself, "Is it wrong for a reincarnated royalty to go incognito?

Said villainess, equipped with a few minor... personality quirks, offended the female lead at the beginning, and was promptly cut right out of the story.

But this won't happen to her! Determined not to let people trample on, and use her again, Celia - no, Rowena - decides to fight for a future worth having.

Finally! After hundreds of years of suppression and abuse, humanity produced a genius!

---

From 391 Aetil to 'now', humanity has had to live as the servants of the Gods. They had been wrongfully abused and used as slaves with no rights. Just as they were going to give up and forever live at the bottom of the food chain, hunted by every existence and used as sources of entertainment, a genius with extraordinary talent had been born!

Raymond Valtere, or Ray for short, had been born. And only 5 years after his birth, he was sealed away by some Gods who were afraid of his talent.

Sealed in the Void, where nothing exists, Ray trains and learns. In a place where his mind ages yet his body doesn't, he meets the Void and comes to see it as a sort of Guardian that raised him.

Ray reaches the peak of his talent and, eventually, reaches the peak of humanity. Now wielding the power of the Void, he sets out to free humanity from the shackles of the Gods. Though he might find other goals in the future, not everything is certain!

But... Why is he so strange? And why isn't he perfect, as all heroes should be?

A/N: This is a reboot of my other story — Origin: How I Became A Magical Girl's Hapless Sidekick In A Craptastic World. The story had some fantastic ideas on paper, but the structure and planning was fundamentally a mess.

Long ago, the world was overrun by demons and magic. From the ashes, adapting, using the very things that once ruined it, an unbalanced and flawed society was built. At its center were the witches, women able to wield otherworldly powers.... more>>

Witches use their abilities and knowledge to serve the people, hunt the monsters afflicting their daily lives, research and study those creatures to create new magical tools and gadgets, strengthening and furthering civilization, hoping one day they can regain what was once lost.
