Can the icy romanceable option & the calculating villainess work together in a reckless attempt to avoid a Bad End?... more>>

The dissolution of Lady Ein's engagement to Prince Lochlann in favor of a foreign commoner threatens to plunge the kingdom back into civil war—but Ein is more concerned about losing her access to the kingdom's best medical practitioners; her mysterious illness is only getting worse, and time is running out.

Prince Finnian, the youngest—and grumpiest—member of the new royal family, has always known that something inside of him was different. It's not until a near-fatal accident unlocks hidden memories that he realizes what: he's been reincarnated into the world of an otome game as the tsundere Romanceable Option, and he's on route for a deadly Bad End.

Now, he must work carefully to steer the story in a different direction and eliminate the game's villainess, Lady Ein—even if it means giving up on his desire to transition. But when Lady Ein approaches him with an outrageous marriage proposal, he realizes that an unlikely alliance might be the only solution.

Can they work together to rewrite the last page of the story, or is fate dead set on giving them both Bad Ends?

Eldridge, a wanderer across realms, pieced together the delicate balance between immortality as a both a blessing and a curse. Unwilling to accept this, he distorted his own path, leading to his unexpected transformation into a Cursed Artifact.... more>>

With an end to the prologue that was his human existence, he accepted a new identity: Apollyon. As he ascended, countless souls were melted and recast, but his new form still had shackles of its own, and they demanded payment. Apollyon needed them to bear the great karma of his Path towards [Detachment] - the only true unfettered immortality he recognized.

It was a good thing, then, that mortals often sacrificed themselves for a myriad of petty reasons.

As the choices of Apollyon’s wielders reshaped the destinies of those around them, so too did the cursed artifact they accepted affect them. Only, could they bear this pact and accomplish their wishes before the weight of the curse became too much?

Expanded Synopsis:
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chased after immortality rarely ended with happy endings. They either came to terms with their limitations, gave up, and returned to a life of mundanity or faced a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter was often the worse fate, as they came to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained.

Ultimately, the common thread in all these stories was that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. Time and again, people either realized this early and turned back, or pressed forward, doomed to inevitably face the consequences of their choice.

Throughout Eldridge’s travels across countless worlds, nothing had contradicted this saying yet. Every pathway had shackles of its own. To ambitious mortals on the ground, they brought the skies high above down to the earth, leveling the playing field. With luck and determination, they too could become the heaven others looked up to. And, with time, they too would be replaced. After all, what fun was a game if the pieces stayed stagnant over the eons?

It was thanks to this fundamental, foundational law that the determined few were able to defy their fate and achieve immortality for themselves.

Eldridge’s path didn’t break this trend. In fact, his shackles were more binding and restrictive than most. However, he didn’t see it that way.

On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, its feeble form remolded into a Cursed Artifact, cursed by the resentment of a world. All of this, however, was secondary to the fact that his plan had succeeded. An artifact, a weapon, was eternal, after all.

As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload it to someone else? Mortals threw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in times of desperation.

Someone would eventually be willing to foot the bill. Most would, if given the chance. The bait was far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge - all were at their fingertips, if only they said “yes”. Though their meager life alone might not have been enough to bear the weight of all those shackles, what were mortals if not numerous?

Apollyon was very willing to help any lost souls; his kindness and generosity knew no bounds. His help extended to anyone or anything, rich or poor, weak or strong. It did not matter. Well, if they sacrificed everything of theirs in return just as generously, of course. <<less

There’s a fact that every trillionaire in the Terran Accord knows: Power on Antares always comes with a price. And it was true; almost every position of power within the jurisdiction of the Antares Authority had some sort of string attached. ... more>>

Yet an entire third of the Antares Authority’s budget is exempt from public scrutiny, a gigantic bucket of odds and ends that the masses aren't allowed to know any details on. It's a glaring exception to the rule. Accountability is completely impossible. The money is poured down a hole and not subject to any form of oversight. Nobody knows a single thing they do — not even the very legislators who approve it, every single year, without failure. Whoever is in charge of this is one glaring exception to this rule: They have power without a price. Or so it seems…

This is the story of the Department of Autonomy, and their struggle preparing for a threat beyond their wildest nightmares. <<less

Kaleth has worked as an agent of Luxarx for years. What the average person might see as an exciting, dangerous job has become the routine, and the only thing that fazes Kaleth now is that his habit of wearing suits everywhere is somehow still a thing his teammates tease him over.

- Short story. Story ends after climax event. ~60k words. 10 Chapters. Character focused. Lore-light.
- Since this is a short story, the setting and world will only be fleshed out to the extent needed by the characters, and so the world is not meant to be particularly immersive. For this work, immersion is driven by the characters. That said, I will fix any inconsistencies as I become aware of them, and the same goes for grammar and typos.
- The narration is technically in 3rd person, or close third, but the script is mostly the characters self narrating or dialogue with some inner thoughts in italics.

Hello! This is just a small pet project of mine, unlike the rest of my main novels, this is something entirely new and unrelated to them. These are going to be compilations of stories from different nations set in the world of Kaiserreich which is a Hearts of Iron 4 mod.

Although I will take some creative liberties and tweak the setting to match my own imagination a bit, I do hope you forgive that. ... more>>

'Kinsoriel, one of the oldest dragons across all of Gairemeer, was the target of many. This wasn’t of any issue to him though, he relished it in fact. Dealing out death to so-called heroes was almost a hobby for him. That ended today, however. This time, his enemies had a hidden weapon on their side, one that would force this scaled menace to become the thing he hated most; a man. Now in the body of a man, the dragon must make a life changing journey to regain his true form, seeing the world through a new pair of eyes.'... more>>

That was how it was supposed to happen. In an inexplicable event, the dragon avoided what was written out for him, instead bringing the Author of this world with him. If that wasn't bad enough, the book that gave him the power to do anything in this setting went missing at the same time. Figuring out how this happened can come later. At the moment, Benjamin- the Author in question- needs to get his book back to put things the way they should be. But to do that, he'll need to get on his human loathing main character's good side. Can they put aside their differences long enough to get what they both want? Or will they destroy one another? <<less
