Akron is a world of subterfuge and intrigue. One where might makes right is a rule etched into the very genes of its inhabitants. One where humanity was corrupted by a miasma that spread, suddenly, from the west. One where the world is evolving faster than thought, and the people as well. Follow the tales of men and women who pave their paths in fog and blood. An apex predator is always being decided. Only in this world the decisive factor is the number of heads they can pry from the shoulders of their enemies. ... more>>

Dara had been whipped to within an inch of her life by her father, and for the simplest of reasons. She existed. Her anger, rage, and hatred of the man drew a being to her like a moth to a flame.... more>>

The Queen of the Varra was not a denizen of Imera. Her people were already dead, and she was the last of her kind. When she used the last of her energy to find a suitable vessel, she found Dara dying at the hands of her father. This was the perfect opportunity.

'Daughter. I have come for you.' Like a demon's voice, she spoke to Dara. 'Eat the seed, and gain great strength.' Without a second thought, Dara swallowed the seed that appeared in her hand.

For the queen, it was salvation for her people. For Dara, that voice was the gentlest tone that has ever been aimed at her. Once that seed entered her belly, she became that voice's true daughter.

In the dark, the Eyeless find strength. In the darkness that they can create, the Eyeless can and will thrive.

This is a rewrite of the original story, and new chapters will be added as they are written. It will take a while, as I have too many projects on the go. The world will be better explained, but at the same time, not all at once. Don't read the first chapter and expect all the answers.

Special note - There is violence, sadism, sex, and sex against one's will. There will be murder, intrigue, gods and goddesses, with a female MC who is not cute and cuddly like some. She is strong and smart, but with a beauty that can terrify those who try to bring her harm. <<less

~ Abracadabra ~

Aloha, and welcome to The Garden.
My name is Bagheera and I’m the narrator.

These stories are all “fictional”,
so there’s no need to go around
insisting that the people, places and events
described here are “real”
like the mythical Russian mystic ~ Anastasia;
even if you feel particularly moved by them.

Regardless of their purely coincidental
similarity to any real person or situation,
these stories have an explicit purpose,
which does not hinge upon whether or not
they can be verified by historical record.

The purpose of these stories is to illustrate
ways of living and being that differ greatly
from those to which humanity
~ in the so-called “developed”
and allegedly “civilized” world ~
has grown accustomed.

The heroes in these tales are simply
Men and Women who have discovered
~ and moved into alignment with ~
The Laws of Nature.

Through communion with this Cosmic Law,
and devoted Service to All Life,
they have brought peace
to their lives and to their world.

My intent in sharing these stories
is that they may inspire you
as they have inspired me:

“To Learn and Grow Stronger,
All Ways and Eternally.”

~ Blessings. ~ <<less

In a land filled with betrayal and the unmistakable smell of murder, a war was about to flare up between the humans and the demons. Only a tiny wick of quivering comradery was keeping it all in place. Amidst all the drama that would lead to the great war of cruelty, a kidnapping would occur…... more>>

After being abducted, the young Lord Deilos had his life come to an abrupt end. Agony, torture, and shame filled his days, with only the longing for death offering any comfort. When he died, he died with a curse.

Time repeated itself thanks to that curse, but his body and his mind became an empty soulless husk. Upon seeing this, a nameless god pitied him. The god replaced his soul with another in the hollowness of that shell, a rebirth.

Who and where this person’s soul came from are all obscure. To wake up in this hellscape of pain and torment, what would he do? What would his reaction be to this harsh act of fate? Only time will tell. <<less

After the death of his father, Shen Zhihao succeeded him as the leader of the Yinhai sect. A prestigious position that should bring admiration, and perhaps envy, from his peers. Due to his beauty and demeanor, everything indicated that Shen Zhihao would become a role model for the rest of the disciples.... more>>

However, few anticipated that Shen Zhihao would be a two-legged rat (not literally) who didn't hesitate to impose his will (literally) on all those he considered inferior. A true tyrant.

A dictator who did not foresee that the day would come when his banished older brother would return from the dead to seize his throne. And, finding himself without a clear way to defeat him, Shen Zhihao would have no choice but to venture into the unknown, traveling to another universe to find the chosen one who could assist him in his fight.

He did not count, however, on the fact that once he arrived in this other world, the promised ally had been dead for thirteen years. And that, in his place, there was only an individual named Zhao Xian, a descendant of the man who was supposed to help him, and whose combat skills could be rated between zero and none.

As if that weren't enough, the portal through which Shen Zhihao arrived on this mission of seeking help closed, and with no way to communicate with his clan, how could he return?

Will Zhao Xian be his salvation after all, or on the contrary, will they both end up being each other's downfall? <<less

When I died, I kind of figured that would be it. Or, I would have, I guess. More fool me, because I seem to have died in the one spot where my soul had a chance to stick around a bit longer. Of course I seem to be a stone now, so I'll have to figure that out, but how hard could it be? I have so many questions, and I'm going to enjoy tracking down the answers!... more>>

This is my attempt to force myself to not constantly rethink and rewrite my stories by publishing as I go. What that means is, it might be a bit rough since I'm not doing any editing before I upload. I'm basically thinking of this as a first draft. That said, I'm still going to do my best to make it as good as I can as I'm writing, and feel free to point out any typos so I can fix them!
This is my first time writing a story, so please give any helpful feedback you have!
I'll be aiming for one chapter a week for now, maybe speeding up down the line.

Sakashima’s economy and everyone’s quality of life are in peril!... more>>

Everyone is blissfully ignorant except Central Bank Chairman Matsuda and those in the highest echelons of government. When the crap hits the fan and the truth can no longer be denied, the Sakashiman people will want answers… and the blood of those responsible!

Fortunately there is a solution. UN-fortunately the only man alive who can help is a broken shell of his former self; a man destroyed in the past by none other than Chairman Matsuda.

Can this man find the strength to let bygones be bygones and lend his aid? What could Matsuda offer our hero in return for his assistance? Can a high-functioning sociopath like Matsuda even be trusted to deliver on his promises?

Find out in… A Palace of Sea Urchins.

This is a short five chapter 'macroeconomic thriller' with the option of being further extended.

If you enjoy white-collar crime movies like 'The Wolf of Wall Street' or 'The Big Short', give this one a gander!

Also, please consider leaving comments or even a review; so I know what to do more of (...or stop doing). I may revisit this story again in the future and add new chapters if people would like to see more. Happy Scribbling! <<less

Emperor Peleus of Macaria, after years of war, defeats the Trabakondai barbarians and brings home their leader, Shirrin the Witch-Queen, as his slave. But what he couldn't possibly know is that this was all part of Shirrin's plan. Twelve years ago, Peleus betrayed her, stealing everything that was hers and leaving her for dead. But now, with vast magical power and over a decade of scheming at her back, Shirrin is ready to take her revenge, by any means necessary. But her goal isn't just to depose Peleus; she won't be satisfied until his entire Empire has burned to the ground.... more>>

A dark fantasy revenge story, heavily inspired by The Count of Monte Cristo, Bladethorn uses a similar tone to my previous novel, The Chained Flame. There is nobody and nothing who Shirrin will not manipulate to bring Peleus to his knees. The question is: is it worth it? <<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

The gods are fickle beings, plagued by their boredom and arrogance. From many millennia of peace, their complacency grew, allowing those who sought to destroy creation to fester and grow in its darkest recesses. ... more>>

A/N:

22 chapters already written, the last few shall be on Patreon when I get to editing them.

This is just a little project I am working on in my free time. Uploads will be rather inconsistent as it’s not something I want to rush, especially while keeping up with my Caelus Online upload schedule.

Please feel free to leave any comments and suggestions, I look forward to reading them.

This novel will be a mix of 'kingdom building' (in this case rebuilding), political intrigue, and fighting in both large and small scale fights. Later on there will be world hopping which will include several other themes.

[Transfered from: SomeRandomApollo] <<less

Rising to become the first of the Deathless, she must struggle with her new life and manage the forces that threaten to overwhelm her. The city of Nova Roma awaits her, tempting her with delights and dangers both. Unsure whether the woman who paid for her resurrection is lover or manipulator, surrounded by callous scientists and bloodthirsty mercenaries, Eve must find a place in the new world.... more>>

(I'm unsure whether I want to continue this project so I'm posting it here for feedback :D Also, although I recognize religious themes are present through most of my work but this one's BIIIIG on the imagery. Discretion advised!) <<less

"In the bustling city of Lumina Prime on the planet of Primitia, a pod of humanity seeks sanctuary from a galactic rebellion, only to face a new threat - a demonic invasion. Led by the determined Lysandra, humans and neighboring civilizations unite to defeat the malevolent demon lord, banishing him from their world. But victory comes with a sinister twist - some demons remain, masquerading as impostors, consuming identities to infiltrate human society. Yes, there are literally sussy impostors among us.... more>>

Enter Vernadette, a vigilante driven by grief and fuelled by vengeance. Haunted by the loss of her parents to the demon horde, she roams the city's shadowed alleys as the Scarlet Serpent, determined to purge Lumina Prime of its demonic infestation. But her solitary crusade yields little progress, and as hope fades, she finds herself at a crossroads. She's literally just like me(Batman) fr.

Damien, a downtrodden mobster trapped in a downward spiral, stumbles upon Vernadette's path amidst the chaos of a demon assassination. Their fateful encounter ignites a spark of purpose in both souls - Vernadette, seeking a way to pierce the veil of darkness shrouding her city, and Damien, yearning for redemption in a life marred by regret and betrayal. He's literally just like me(Loser) fr.

Bound by circumstance, Vernadette and Damien form an uneasy alliance. With Lumina Prime teetering on the brink of chaos, Lysandra grapples with the looming threat of the Impostor Epidemic. As tensions escalate and loyalties are tested, the fate of the city hangs in the balance.

As Vernadette's relentless pursuit leads her closer to uncovering the truth behind the impostor epidemic, she must confront her own demons and reckon with the consequences of her actions. With Lumina Prime hanging on the edge of chaos, the looming threat of Jerma, the demon general turned renegade, casts a shadow over the city's fate. Can Vernadette and Damien unravel the sinister machinations of Jerma before it's too late, or will Lumina Prime succumb to the darkness that lurks within?"

Okay guys, that's the synopsis. Now, we ball.

Sussy Baka Impostor Amogus Jerma. I know, brain rot writing style before GTA 6 fr. But yeah, all this, inspired by the whole sussy wussy Jerma impostor. Not like, copying events like Among Us games and that, just the elements of "impostor amogus" and names like Jerma will be incorporated, but generally, it's a story of its own. Btw, the name Jerma is from Jerma, but in no way represents him. Jerma fiction here is different from Jerma real fr, it's just names that are similar not their personality. I'll be making YouTube videos explaining our thought process soon, just search "The Ordinary Observer" then look for Yapping Sessions. So yeah, tune in, and that video will go live once the first chapter is published! Also, my boy, Rob, incredible work, great characterization. Him and I are in charge of the characters and dialogue, T.O.O. handles the plot. For parts that are serious, fr, and ong, that's all Robert, everyone. Amazing work from my boy, actually. Made me tear up sometimes especially on the Maverick mom part which was really tragic, but enough of that, LET'S START THIS ALREADY DAMN! Now, I recommend that you turn off your brain and just enjoy the story we want to tell :D

Also, vices aren't cool and they are very bad for your health. Do NOT imitate the people smoking in the story, very bad. If you already have a nicotine addiction, I recommend you lessen until you stop. Also, any gory subjects and pushy issues, don't do that in real life. They're there only to intensify the story, an artistic choice, and to make a statement that we are not playing HAHAHAHA
