Lilia would rather sleep all day than go to class. Avoiding her problems sounds like a better idea than getting hurt. But that was just a typical day for a girl living on a military school compound surrounded by the greenest Wastelands that ever existed. It doesn't help that she and five others were in hiding. Her species were the ones responsible for almost destroying the human race. Well, at least she wasn't alone. However, that brings about another source of problems.... more>>

Do they all get along? No. Are they stuck together for the rest of their lives? Yes. Do they all need therapy? Darn, right, they do.

So this is Lilia's (Bryson, Druid, Heather, Terran, and Shadow)'s story; I hope you like it.

My friend photographed the picture. She allowed me to use it for my novel.

Constructive criticism is appreciated.

It's been a couple of years, so I am reposting and editing. This is the best way for me to know where I'm at and where I need to go with the story.

Thank you. <<less

When everything in existence suffers a change, or welcomes it, and what is to come has finally come - would it beget with its origination the terror, deathliness, tragedy, torment and devastation? Or would it, by any chance, differ from its authentic nature and reality?... more>>

In the deepest of the first starless dark blue night, its point of origin vastly different from the one where everything 'began'... a beautiful hand reaches to taint the most fearsome. Would its origin bring chaos to it all?
--- *** ---

What are the words that hold the utmost power? What are the thoughts that break it all? Which are those who shine brightest, gloom darker, and explode defiantly against reality who prevail?

Any lifeform of the world, no matter how advanced and evolved; all become subject to terror for the very same ones:

One, afraid of the dark. Two, of the violent forces of Nature. Three, of Injustice.

It's not about having the reason on your side; it's not about having the power to demand for subservience and is not whether one is right or not... It's about taking it all with your own hands!

No darkness is gloom without light to obverse it; no light shines brighter without endless emptiness. But it is only one that is; only that has been; only one that can; that will; that KNOWS.

One little grain of sand can evolve into a dried-up sea; one little animal can become a monster; one sole thought can become reality... But can any of them regress, lose it all, suffer nonsensically, and beget — 'all that exists and there is'?

Would they be willing to? ...Can they do it? ...Do they understand?

Synopsis for dummies:

Born in a world where every imaginable thing is so advanced even the earth one can step on moves and thinks, met with the pureness of nature at birth, and touched by the unimaginable.

To see the future is for fools. To long for the past is too late. But to see ahead is the only road.

What might be a long and arduous lifelong objective for one can be a simple step for others. What others can't see might be sensed by someone else. And to walk as one never betrays themselves... is glory.

When the bells ring, the heavens change, the world trembles, and a change is called upon... Will there finally be that something that has been missing? What the world had lacked all this long? What... the world deserves? Will a person change that? Will they do it all alone, terribly consumed in coldness and leaving horrors wherever that person walks? Or will there be a returning change that the world has even forgotten for... ever?

Even the smallest of rebellions and uprisings... can be the start of everything.

In a world where people are born with special traits that give them some abilities and even superpowers, Aleph was born with only one trait for some reason. However, he dreams of living another life in a different world... a past that he didn't know was true or just an illusion. ... more>>

Thanks to those dreams, he becomes self-aware of his situation much quicker than the others. He is a war orphan, and eventually, when he is able to work, he becomes a slave for people he didn't even know and who sent his parents to their deaths. He is forced to live that kind of life for many years without any choice.

At first, Aleph thought that his trait would be useless... some people can run super fast while others have super strength, but he can only heal a bit quicker than the others. His way of thinking changes as he begins to work, and his traits start to level up. Not only that, but his body also starts to become stronger in response to all the work that he does. His trait not only heals him but can also repair his body and make it stronger afterward.

With that new knowledge, Aleph decides to train for many years to become strong enough to free himself. But when his chance is finally approaching, he learns that the world is in chaos. Wars never stop, and thousands of people die with each battle. No matter where he goes, death and battles will chase him. In a world like that, he can't just become strong enough to free himself—he has to become strong enough to make real change. <<less

Marcus Graham has been handed a raw deal. As a student of military history, he wants nothing more than to help the world learn from human conflict. But his increasingly hostile college is blocking his lectures and threatening to cancel him for speaking his mind. War is just too triggering for the young minds of this generation.

But there's another world out there. A world wracked by constant strife. A world of fantasy races locked in combat, and where the tides of war are always in full swing. It is a world on the brink of almost total annihilation, where the common people have almost given up hope.

~Basically a slow-burning 'magical' science fiction within a RPG-esque fantasy setting*~... more>>

An operation failed. One survived. Now a foreigner lost and stranded somewhere someplace, alien yet familiar, fantastical yet real. Found and rescued by another, similar but distinct; departed and never seen again. Left alone, yet again. Alien among aliens. Forced to hide and blend in… to a point; hunted, yet not really. Young, yet ancient. Analytical, yet aloof. A mind decayed by time, riddled with contradictions. Masks and faces worn as one, both without identity. A purpose long lost.

Gods scheme upon rotting thrones, shackled to wills beyond their own. Great powers devour their world, cursed with stomachs never satiated. Delusions of fantasy dreamt to swipe away the nightmares heralded by shooting stars. The world’s play motions forward to the choir’s tune as the past withers away; the stage evolves and changes, yet remains static and contrived.

Meaningless happenings, given meaning. People found, turned to characters. Memories, turned to story. Events in observation, narrativized. A protagonist found and placed on stage, made to dance the play of it which observes, indifferently yet with ever maddening interest.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Notes:
- This narrative has elements of philosophically absurdist underpinnings and influences, and may not be conventional in some ways.
- This story is a slow moving burn, but prone to flaring up.
- There is a strong emphasis on worldbuilding and character psychology.
- There are elements of mystery, but largely in the sense of reader engagement and understanding (and confusion).
- This is planned to be a large series and long-term project.
- Each "Pars" was initially 3,500 - 5,000 words, but most will be split into two chapters.

This story is primarily being published on RoyalRoad and will be ahead by several full Partes (for the time being): https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/80247/somewhere-someplace

This site is a secondary priority, I will try to maintain a consistent publishing schedule here. <<less

Author's note:

In this story, I intend to integrate elements from shows I love-- gundam, modern sci-fi shows such as 'The Expanse', add strategic elements from shows such as legend of galactic heroes. These elements might be political intrigue, more technological development, robotics, cyberpunk, character development, rationality. Ultimately, I want the story to end up with a strong sense of hope despite the horrors of conflict. <<less

"Six severed Wills, their blessing now a curse.

The land is fractured. The people are divided. Humanity's creator has perished long ago; now, they are doomed to stagnate under the celestial expanse, nations waging war on each other in a desperate attempt to hold dominion over what little authority remains.

Yet, not all is forsaken. A Comet has been birthed by the earth and sky. Their descent brings forth a rare boon long thought lost to the ravages of despair: hope. And so the forces of the world begin to move in earnest, bewitched by the promise of a brighter morrow.

One is a winged King, their Will confined to the gilded cage that is duty.

One is a malicious Corvid, gaze transfixed to the horizon whispering of conquest.

And one is a nameless Knight. Forgotten. Slumbering. Ready to fulfill its purpose.

Six Wills. Six rulers. Six armaments.

When six converge as one, humanity shall finally reach out to the Stars.

This is a rewrite of an already completed novel that finished running in December of 2023. It is not on Scribblehub, rather a website called RoyalRoad under the name of Aegis: The First Attempt. If you want to peruse it while waiting for the new chapters to come out, please feel free, but I first began writing it while very inexperienced with prose, grammar, and pacing in general. Thus, the quality of it isn't as polished as I would prefer it to be, so I'm doing a full rewrite to really bring this world of mine the love and care it deserves.

Updates: Wednesday and Sunday

I would also like to give a warm thank you to HWPerfidy for creating the cover art for this novel, and to Wong40k, GabbieMok, and X-luminoux-x for the art/mixing in subsequent volumes. I am spoiled to receive such help. <<less

1) GUNDAM! obviously!
2) Either bad or good political writing, this is the first time I have written something about politics but I live in Thailand so...
3) Undecide whether it will be a girl or boy love interest, I like Hakai me no Yuuri, and it is really good, you should give it a read. Anyway, I won't spoil but it's Gender Bend Mc x Male. so yup...I will wait to see the flow and decide!
4) from what you read so far I think you already guessed what I'm about to write here right? It's bad grammar, Duh! I write by feeling and didn't learn grammar properly, kinda lazy but does it work? maybe, maybe not. so Grammar Police please go easy on me!
5) The idiot, genius MC, Well, sometimes she a complete genius, and sometimes she's downright stupid.

Mirk has lost everything: his noble family, his home, and nearly his life. All he has left is his grandfather’s staff and the K’maneda, the strange band of foreign mercenaries who saved him. He decides to build a new life among them in their wandering City of Glass, dedicating himself to healing the outcast and forgotten men who did everything to protect him. Providence makes no mistakes. And to live is to serve.... more>>

Genesis is an expert at three things: binding magic, assassination, and cleaning potions. Everything else is a mystery to him, especially people. Which is a crucial shortcoming, considering his ambition is to launch an insurrection against the corrupt mages who have warped the K’maneda into a machine designed to grind up the poor for the benefit of the wealthy. He will never be free; his nature is destruction. Since he can’t escape it, he will use it to liberate those who aren’t bound to obey.

They’re an unexpected team: the unrelenting and inhumanly powerful Destroyer and the kindly healer with the right lineage and a knack for putting the right people in the right places. But will it be enough to ensure the revolution prevails? And is there more to their relationship beyond a mutually beneficial alliance?

Featuring: Slowest of slow-burns, grumpy x sunshine, size difference to the max, perpetual hurt/comfort, and a whole lotta bed sharing. HEA guaranteed...eventually. <<less
