When the Comet burned through the heavens and landed on Theia, everything changed. ... more>>

A virus spread through the world at a sickening pace, desperate to infect every living being and turn them into something... superior.

The infected individuals became rabid monsters hell-bent on consuming not only the healthy ones, but would even turn on themselves. The more they consumed, the stronger they became.

Then there was humanity. When the world went to shit the darkness in their hearts was finally unleashed and allowed to flourish, showing their true nature. They committed all kinds of atrocities against their fellow man, even during these troubled times.

But then again, you can't really blame them can you? They are just... inferior beings after all.

That's why it's my duty to show them a better path. To make them all infected. Because once they see the glory of it, they will thank me. Treat me like a Messiah. Or even a God.

Instead of calling me names like 'The Monster' or 'The Devil'.

REWRITE V3 IS FINISHED! Ichiro Yamashita’s life is spectacularly "ordinary"—until it isn’t. At 23, Ichiro has traded a burnout-inducing IT career for the open road, hauling cargo across Japan as a truck driver. The pay’s steady, the scenery’s decent, and if the worst thing he faces is a rude toll collector, he’ll call it a win. But his uneventful routine takes a sharp left turn a year later when he’s promoted to his company’s secretive Special Inventory Delivery Department—a job title that feels about as suspicious as it sounds.... more>>

Still, Ichiro’s main problem isn’t his job. It’s his dreams.

For five years, his nights have been an unpredictable blur of strange landscapes and battles against foes so bizarre they seem ripped straight from the surreal manga he devours during downtime. He’s written it off as stress or maybe his overactive imagination—a harmless oddity at worst. But when Ichiro takes down the biggest shadow creature of all, ‘That Nightmare’ vanishes, replaced by fever dreams so absurd they defy explanation—while his waking life spirals into increasingly bizarre and unsettling chaos. His deliveries are suspiciously strange, his clients verge on unhinged, and his boss? ‘Secretive’ doesn’t even begin to describe her.

Ichiro, of course, doesn’t think too hard about it. After all, he’s just a truck driver. Weird jobs happen, he tells himself, and he’s just lucky the paychecks are steady. The way strangers keep glancing at him like he’s radiating something strange—or how some clients seem unnerved just being near him? Definitely just a coincidence. Probably.

What Ichiro doesn’t realize is that his dreams weren’t just the product of stress or imagination. The forces he’s unwittingly tangled with can’t decide whether to worship him, destroy him, or run screaming. Unaware that his every action sends ripples through the fabric of the world, Ichiro stumbles forward, leaving chaos and unexpected consequences in his wake.

A genre-bending, lighthearted cosmic slice-of-life action-adventure filled with surreal twists, accidental heroics, and cosmic stakes, this is the story of an ordinary man swept up in an extraordinary journey. Just don’t tell Ichiro—he’d never believe you. <<less

Three very different people, living very different lives. Each one touched by magic in her own unique way, but all share two things in common.

[I was reborn after being murdered because of the true wish that I made for revenge against all human-peoples, but now I’m alive again and I actually just kind of don’t want to do that anymore; so I opened a shoe-store instead!]
__________________________________________________
After being violently torn from her old life in the natural world after being grotesquely murdered by miners belonging to members of the common races of humans and elves, Mirabelle the fairy makes a true wish to anything that can hear her dying screams, beckoning the old powers of the forgotten reaches to allow her to take her revenge against those who stole all things precious from her in this life.
... more>> 40px;"> Her wish is granted. However, upon being reborn in an age far after when she originally died, and all traces of her old life having been erased by the unforgiving passing of time, she finds herself alone with a spirit as crushed as her old body had been, as while she has been granted her wish for power, all of the people who wronged her have long since died already.

The cruel fairy forsakes her true wish to make the world worse than she left it and instead finds a new life in a very unlikely place — the large, nearby human city that hadn’t existed when she last knew the area generations upon generations ago.

Needing a way to survive as the only fairy within the human capital, if not the only one at all in the world, Mirabelle lives in secret within the vibrant city full of magic and adventurers, adapting to the ways of the human-people, as the fairy ways do not suffice to survive within this new, industrious world that is the total opposite of her old one, until she finds her path forward as a shoemaker's apprentice!

Living in secret and in fear, unable to reveal herself because of her own anxieties, the fairy practices the art of shoemaking in secret, the old bargain of her rebirth not forgotten by her or by the dark stars that granted it, as she spends her days making boots as she tries to figure out what life exactly is for a cruel fairy or a cruel human, both of whom exist under the curious glow of starlight that seems to wait ever so patiently for the bargain to be fulfilled.

Will Mirabelle succumb to the cruel desires to make the humans pay for what they did to her and her people, or will she find a new way forward, breaking free from the spiritual shackles of revenge?

Antigreen is a queer eldritch romance, exploring the palpitating horror of unconditional love, the infectiousness of personhood, and the darkness of the feminine void. Set in an alternate low fantasy Massachusetts, it blends titles and tidbits from the works of H.P.

For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been preyed upon by Harbingers, living nightmares which devour dreams and passions and souls, and defended by Keepers. These children alone hold the gift of magic, the wild and wondrous ability to impose emotions over reality and empower their frail bodies with the splendor of their souls. Under their protection, humanity was able to survive and thrive.... more>>

While modern Keepers have come to enjoy a social position somewhere between celebrities and religious idols, very few accept the mantle simply to be a hero. The Messengers of the Goddess Claiasya, spirits charged with awakening the magic in suitable souls, promise that Keepers who consume and purify enough Harbingers will obtain the power to change themselves or the world in nearly any way they wish.

It’s for this purpose that Liadain Shiel, a young girl born terminally ill, throws herself into life as a Keeper when her opportunity comes, hoping against hope to rewrite her fate and save her life while she still can.

But magic wants its wielders to grow and change, not simply continue living, and the secrets swimming beneath the sea and behind the sky have lives and designs of their own.

Nowhere Stars is an ongoing fantasy-horror web novel about traumacore magical girls, nightmares clothed in ribbons and lace, alienation from reality, and broken children twisting the world into whatever shape they must to make their dreams come true.
