This story -despite taking place in a pseudo historic fantasy world- is based and inspired by the real world event which is called "the bronze age collapse" where most likely a combination of famine, economical problems and invading tribes which are commonly known as the "sea-people" led to the collapse of most bronze age empires.

note: i do plan to add more game/anime settings to this as a multiverse type thing ill build on. this project will take me years to finish.

planned settings ( this is subject to change but at the very least trails in the sky and trails of cold steel will be featured and some parts of atelier ryza will be at least be touched on)
trails in the sky
trails of cold steel
trails into reverie
atelier ryza
tokyo ghoul
fire emblem three houses
fire emblem: three hopes
the irregular at magic high school

a note on my current writing process:
i am writing Path of Cold Iron as a way to challenge and test my Path of Cold Iron skills mainly by learning to change my writing style to fit a different format (this is something i do for fun)

the prologue for this is going to be a little long, this is to set up the story changes going forward. For instance characters having different friends and allies different then in the trails series. i am planing to show some events from both the villein and hero sides partly so as not to follow the trails plot in the same way or from the same perspective.

for the start their are few time skips. in part these are like training montages as this story starts from the mc as a baby and i needed to have something to fill the time and expand the story but was not going to write every day of their life for like 20 plus years. the time skips should slow to be at most a few weeks instead of a few years when i get to the in universe year where the trials in the sky game starts. <<less

Living within our world are ‘Origins’, humans with special powers. ... more>>

Throughout the years, their existence had been kept a veiled secret by the ‘Cordiale’, the first and most powerful organisation of Origins to be formed. Using the Origins’ special abilities, the ‘Cordiale’ double-deals in secrets, conspiracies, manipulation, you name it, toppling governments and reshaping the world as they see fit.

But beyond the facade of secrecy lies deeper machinations. A prophecy foretelling the apocalypse had begun to come to fruition, and the Cordiale was at the forefront of stopping it.

‘Iv’ is in a tricky spot. As one of the Cordiale's seven leaders, she now faces the task of preparing for otherworldly armageddon threatening both her people and the rest of humanity, all the while having to deal with rogue Origins and anti-Cordiale groups that threaten the organisation's established world order.

___________________________

What to Expect:

A bit amateurish writing. The chapter count is within the 1k-2k range within the first 17 chapters, but picks up to 2k-3k afterwards. I try to improve my writing as I go along, and have a habit of editing narrations in past chapters.

A lot of the whole ‘secret-organisation’ genre in a contemporary setting, with power plays and politics sprinkled within the story between ‘Iv’ and their six other colleagues.

A pretty overpowered main character ‘Iv’, who usually sticks to doing paperwork but still fights from time to time.

Besides that, occasional slice-of-life scenes and character development.

Gore, swearing and action scenes (Action gets better over time I promise).

Various POVs from different casts, with ‘Iv’ and her allies as the main focus. <<less

A bite sized short story about death. Fair warning, likely to induce tears.

For generations, Christian’s family have had a natural ability to see beings that are usually invisible to humans and to do magic. They aren’t, however, the only witches in the world or even in the area. When his Scottish-born mother wants to return to her family, and her husband and his widower father decide to go with her, Christian inherits the responsibility for their house and its hidden library.... more>>

Not alone, however. His family leave him with a roommate, Mark, an apparently normal human around his own age. But appearances are especially deceptive in this case.

Christian builds a reputation, first around the New Age bookshop where he works, then beyond that, as someone to turn to when things go bump in the night. Whether it's lingering negative energy, a lost ghost, or a dangerous infestation, he'll solve it. Sometimes, that's with the help of a powerful, sensual, and often bloodthirsty lamia who is still perplexed about how she has come to genuinely care about a human.

Throw in a group of witches called the Fellowship, who are firmly convinced that all witches should come under their authority and above all else stay below the radar; a subgroup within the Fellowship who feel that the ends for the greater good justify any means; a few supernatural threats; a friend from another independent witch family, who has a very close past history with a kitsune who says less than she does; Christian’s Dungeons and Dragons gamer group; a young black cat in dire need of a home; a colony of feral cats inherited from his great-aunt; and a couple of non-witch friends, and life gets complicated in a hurry.

Two characters in this are significantly transgender, in different ways, and orientation is mostly not a consideration. Oh, and it's set in 1998, which was when the very first, very rough draft was written.

** Trigger warnings **
This one does have more explicit sex and violence than my usual, and that's primarily all about the titular lamia herself. It's going to be difficult to be comprehensive without spoilers, but feel free to ask if you have questions, I completely understand. Broad strokes: lamias are a form of energy vampire/succubus (sort of) and actively hunt men to feed, usually without killing but also without consent - if you're okay with the typical vampire/succubus morality this should be okay. (Consent is different with humans she knows!) Lamias tend to have a very direct and physical approach to removing obstacles and annoyances; most of the violence is towards aggressive supernatural creatures (one scene came out particularly gory), but not all of it. One minor character who appears briefly late in the story endured some abuse that ends at that point. There's no harm done to children or animals with the single exception of a cat hunting a mouse. Please be careful with this one if you're prone to triggers!

So what happens if you feel like you belong nowhere... then find out you do belong somewhere... and that place should be impossible? There’s no such thing as magic or werewolves, especially only a few hundred miles north of Toronto, right? And what could be in Jesse’s missing past that would make him fit in there?... more>>

Jesse’s been having a tough time at home with his adopted parents, and even life on the streets, with the one friend he trusts, has more appeal. During a particularly bad moment, he finds himself some way north of the city he lives in, and things just keep getting stranger from there: Haven, the village he stumbles over, is not only primarily pagan, but a substantial percentage of the population can do insane things. Like manipulating light into doorways linking places, or fixing injuries with a touch, or changing into wolves.

The early part of his life has been a blank to him as long as he can remember, but the more time he spends in Haven, the more hints there are that a place like this is where he belongs. But how did he come to be alone several years before, with no memory? Is there unfinished business lurking in his past that can come back to haunt him in his new life? And how much danger are his Haven friends in because of him?

Very much an Ugly Duckling tale. Only with fewer ducks. ;)

This was my first finished novel. Comfort playing with gender and experimenting with other diversity came later. There *are* intimate poly relationships and a sort of non-exclusive MM friendship-with-benefits. V0.01 of Black Wolf was written during the mid-1990's, while I was in my late teens/early 20s. While it has undergone three or four major overhauls since then, updating it to take place later proved not to be a viable option. I realize some readers may find concepts like the absence of cell phones and Internet rather alien.

** Content warnings: minimal gore/violence (largely wolves fighting bad things), occasional bad language, the only sex is a non-explicit masturbation scene. The MC does start off homeless and there are a couple of mild scenes around this. References to drug/alcohol abuse, childhood abuse, and thoughts of self-harm, but not described in depth and not shown as positive. There are a few things I might do differently these days (Naomi in particular - love her but don't know that she's well-handled) so please be forgiving! ** <<less

Following the events of "SILENT COMFORT," our green-haired protagonist is thrust into an unprecedented event. (Although it ties in with the events of my previous fanfiction "Silent Comfort", it is a standalone story, that doesn't require prior knowledge of it).
