"Damn! Why didn't they read a few chapters before they skipped my book!" Lu Yuan felt that the readers are too ignorant.... more>>

But ...

He's helpless.

Lu Yuan knew what was wrong with his book, he feels that, his synopsis is not attractive enough for the readers to read more. But he is reluctant to write more, especially for synopsis that no one would even remember a few minutes later.

Most importantly ...

Lu Yuan doesn't want to be serious and exaggerating the synopsis to make a pretense, he's afraid that he would be famous and the world would call him dog later.

But, Lu Yuan still put a little bit less exaggerated synopsis with a little bit of seriousness.

So he writes...

"That year ... Lu Yuan who just crossed to a pararel world wrote a movie script then scammed 1 Million yuan from a certain rich and beautiful female sheep ...

He planned to use 800.000 yuan to shoot the movie and ran away with the rest of the money...

But the movie ... "

Lu Yuan suddenly felt tired.

Follow the journey of a young Sara Weiss' journey into the world of pop music and idols.... more>>

Through a series of misunderstandings, Sara finds herself somehow auditioning to become an idol for the next girl group being deputed under the luxurious Petel Entertainment company. Through this twist of fate, a spark is lit inside the heart of Sara and the path to becoming an idol begins.

Author's Note: This will be a rather casual story, don't expect arrogant rivals or evil corporations after the main lead/group. My desire to write this story came from 1. being unable to find any other story of a similar nature (of decent length at least) 2. recently becoming a fan of K-Pop which is an obvious inspiration. 3. To write something casual in my free time, so don't expect countless updates.

Note on the world setting: The story takes place in a fictional world and while there will be some resemblance to idol culture in South Korea, most things will be vastly different. There will be no hierarchy system or anything like that for example and the culture will be less conservative in general. There are a couple of reasons for this, one simply being my hesitation to write about something I am mostly ignorant about, but also because I just like to write about fictional landscapes that I can shape as I please.

Note on romance: I currently have no inclination to include any romance at the moment, though if I do, it will highly be likely that it would be a girl love romance, as I'm a fan of those. But for now, no romance in these early stages of writing. I'll update the genre and tags accordingly if this changes. <<less

[Second Arc Coming!] The City of Gudha was about to erupt in war. They needed a hero. Instead, they got a homeless girl named Nelsie.... more>>

Nelsie isn't a savior. She isn't any kind of hero either. She just lives on the streets, helping her fellow homeless people survive. Since she is from an old noble house that has fallen, Nelsie isn't like the others. She is kind, and while determined, is vastly unprepared for the harsh life as a homeless kid. Still, she tries her best. During one of her food runs, she is stopped in her tracks when her entire body lights up with a white and green glow. And just like that, Nelsie is now a part of a prophecy that will shape the fate of the City.

As the main person, the 'Saint', she is wanted by everyone, some trying to use her while others are trying to kill her. None seem to want otherwise. Still, she decides to ignore this prophecy. After all, it's not like she has to search out these "Seraph". But, of course, things won't be that easy. During one of her trips, she runs into one of the Seraph and, soon afterwards, runs into another during a festival-turned massacre...and that Seraph was the one who staged it!? In fact. both the Seraphs she meets are known for being terrorist behavior, with the one who staged the massacre being a Warmonger. And, it seems that the Seraphs, once they either see or are close to Nelsie, will track her down, getting a strong connection with her that they can't break. There are also the ominous words, the year of the Peacock will come.

Just what kind of prophecy did poor Nelsie get into? Well, whatever it is, she'll have to be ready for her whole world to be turned upside down again.

It is NOT Required to read The Princess And Her Warmonger to read and understand what is going on here. While they both happen in Nostalisk, neither story spoils the other.

ARC 2 Now Starting! (Spoilers Below!)

After witnessing Baaluzikai and her band slaughter a Gudha army despite being heavily outnumbered, Nelsie comes to the realization that the Musical Warmonger is in fact another Seraph. To make matters worse, since Nelsie has come into contact with Baaluzikai twice, Baaluzikai will now be looking for Nelsie.

Unfortunately, for Nelsie, she won't get a break. When she is out one day, she gets wrapped up around the finger of another Seraph. Heather and her brother, Ryan. They may seem innocent but they have control over the shadows of Gudha City. And, to make matters worse, Nelsie's relationship with the two causes her to be wrapped up by The Red String, an assassin organization that wants to kill the corrupt people of Gudha City, including the King.

This is now on Honeyfeed. https://www.honeyfeed.fm/novels/5461

Now Riley is in another world - much like her old one - with a system to help guide her into making new experiences to make up for her traumatic life before.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

***I'm a novice writer! I just want to do something to distract myself and I enjoy reading other peoples books all the time. So I decided to write something for myself to see how it goes.

The world will basically be the same as normal Earth, perhaps a bit more advanced, with a large mixture of supernatural/fantastical elements hidden under the surface - which the protagonist won't necessarily interact with all that quickly. It will be a Self Insert style novel where I will be writing primarily in first person - from Riley's perspective. With maybe the additional POV from other characters down the line.

I have added the fanfiction tag as Riley will receive skills and abilities that might relate to other worlds. I may also add characters from other worlds into my world. I will also have her using music from her past life as her own in her new life.

Riley won't be reborn in her new world - she will be dropped in with a slightly edited body that fits the new world.

She won't be a slave to the system - it is simply there to guide her. Quests will NOT have punishments.

The image is not mine - just a placeholder as that's what I'd imagine Riley to look like - until I get one for myself made*** <<less
