Originally turned by the greater demonoid Valak to become a lesser demonoid, the woman that will later be known as Seir was reborn into a feral greater demonoid instead. The berserking new greater demonoid then turned against her creator and killed it, before slaughtering the rest of the lesser demons in the area, but leaving the humans alive.... more>>

In a turn of event, someone managed to subdue the newly born greater demonoid and even suppressed her demonoid cell, reverting the woman back to her human form. Introducing himself as the fabled 'Kamen Rider', the only person rumoured to be able to square up against a greater demonoid, the man explained to the woman that his assistant has crafted a belt that is both capable of suppressing and harnessing the power of the demonoid sleeping within her body.

The man promised to show the rope so that the woman could use her newly found power properly. In the process, the woman learned that the man was in fact, an otherworlder who came to this world for a specific task. After learning that the greater demonoids named themselves with the series of names that bear uncanny resemblance to the names mentioned in an old tale from his home world, the man named the woman 'Seir', citing that the Seir from the old tale was depicted as a beautiful horse rider; fitting as she'll become the rumoured 'kamen rider', replacing him as his main task in this world has now come to an end.

Thus begin the journey of Kamen Rider Seir to rid her world from the menace of the demonoids.

A story of teenagers discovering magical secrets, gaining extraordinary powers to save the world, and building valuable bonds in the process.... more>>

Flow and Natasha are two troubled teens who can't seem to find their place in the world. After being attacked by a supernatural creature, they find themselves among the ranks of the Enchanters, heroes wielding magical charms to help others. In their quest to protect the city they must face the villainous warlocks, and their enigmatic leader, the Sorcerer.

This is an original series, heavily inspired by Miraculous Ladybug, Toby Fox’s videogames, Warehouse 13, Neverwhere, and many other media.
The main focus of the story is teenagers becoming heroes and fighting magical threats in a fictional city, but heavy topics and real-life issues are also addressed, like trauma, abuse, bullying, social injustice, anxiety and other mental health issues, and death.
Fantasy elements may border on horror and the fight scenes might be upsetting in some cases.
The author and most of the cast are LGBTQ+. Bigots and “I’m not a bigot, but…” people aren’t welcome here.
English is not my first language, but I welcome any constructive criticism.
I hope we’ll have a fun adventure together. <<less

All are original characters. There will be some illustrations/portraits painted by me using traditional mediums :) Sometimes the links get broken, so I really appreciate that if you let me know!

There are 8 arcs planned, this is currently the first arc. Sometimes I'll go through and update with more details/plot points as they shift around, so don't be surprised if some details in old chapters change!

Currently posting a new chapter every Saturday and sometimes Wednesday if I've made extra progress.

Set some decades into the future so I can play around with technology.

General content warnings/disclaimer: There will be some laws broken, violence, verbal threats, involuntary confinement, breaking and entering, arson, body modification, poisoning, occasional death. You might call the genre cozy crime. The tone will generally be kept light and the characters may seem callous at times. This is many of the characters are criminals. They are not meant to be role models. Do not take this story as legal advice, security advice, or as a guide on how to commit crimes. This is fiction and any resemblance to people, places, and things real or imagined are coincidence. <<less

Ark chooses the former, but not all promises and offers are what they seem as Dragon and Human merge to become the ultimate warrior unseen in a hundred years since the Six Heroes came together to slay the Empress of All.

It took over fifteen centuries for the world to recover from the cataclysm caused by the extinction of an ancient race known only as the Precursors. Since then kings and emperors have risen and fallen, but the Church of Vhirs remained a stalwart guardian of the legacy of the ancients.

After getting stuffed in a suit, Phone Guy (Fritz Smith) finds himself struggling to grapple with the irrationality of the life he now finds himself in. ... more>>

Expect:
- A fun exploration of an interesting philosophy, absurdism.
- Possessed animatronic MC/POV (for the entire story).
- Secret/hidden identity.

Don't expect:
- Romance.
- An accurate timeline.
- Any story based on pizzeria simulator.

I'm writing this both for the philospophy, and to add to my favorite genre of FNAF fanfiction: possessed animatronic MC. You can read this for either, or both! This story is basically a continuation of Phone Guy's phone call during Night 4 (that's the one where he gets stuffed into a suit), and loosely follows the story of the proceeding (chronological) games. Very minor spoilers for the first chapters ahead. This isn't a mystery story, but I'll give the warning regardless. Phone Guy eventually finds himself inside of Funtime Foxy, and has to live life out as the animatronic. He has the illusion disks from the books, but I've heavily nerfed them so they can't be used as a cop out for dealing with his animatronic body. <<less

~Basically a slow-burning 'magical' science fiction within a RPG-esque fantasy setting*~... more>>

An operation failed. One survived. Now a foreigner lost and stranded somewhere someplace, alien yet familiar, fantastical yet real. Found and rescued by another, similar but distinct; departed and never seen again. Left alone, yet again. Alien among aliens. Forced to hide and blend in… to a point; hunted, yet not really. Young, yet ancient. Analytical, yet aloof. A mind decayed by time, riddled with contradictions. Masks and faces worn as one, both without identity. A purpose long lost.

Gods scheme upon rotting thrones, shackled to wills beyond their own. Great powers devour their world, cursed with stomachs never satiated. Delusions of fantasy dreamt to swipe away the nightmares heralded by shooting stars. The world’s play motions forward to the choir’s tune as the past withers away; the stage evolves and changes, yet remains static and contrived.

Meaningless happenings, given meaning. People found, turned to characters. Memories, turned to story. Events in observation, narrativized. A protagonist found and placed on stage, made to dance the play of it which observes, indifferently yet with ever maddening interest.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Notes:
- This narrative has elements of philosophically absurdist underpinnings and influences, and may not be conventional in some ways.
- This story is a slow moving burn, but prone to flaring up.
- There is a strong emphasis on worldbuilding and character psychology.
- There are elements of mystery, but largely in the sense of reader engagement and understanding (and confusion).
- This is planned to be a large series and long-term project.
- Each "Pars" was initially 3,500 - 5,000 words, but most will be split into two chapters.
