When my curiosity got the better of me in the afterlife, I ended up reincarnating with several things I wasn't supposed to have, like my memories. But I got a second chance at life, and I wasn't going to waste it. Making a nice home in a dungeon, adopting an abandoned girl as my little sister, for someone who died alone, poor, and full of stress, I had everything I wanted and all the stuff I hated were gone.... more>>

But while my back was turned, immigrants and refuges?! Land management and negotiations?! Why are you making a country in my backyard?! And everyone wants me to be the leader?! And while I desperately tried to get peace and happiness to my new life, now someone wants my admin powers?! <<less

It was a freak accident. Someone ran the light at an intersection and before I knew it... my world turned black. But I didn't die then. Instead, I was forced to lament and regret over all of my failures. Lament about how this so-called genius was lower than dirt even at the very end.... more>>

And that should have been it. After my consciousness faded, I should have disappeared.

But I woke up.

A different world, another life. A fresh start.
This time, for sure...! <<less

In a dark place came an unexpected accomplice, and the endeavors of the previous Ambassador guide Octavia’s way. Welcome to Tacell, a safe haven crafted for the Ambassador’s task. With a plan for total salvation at hand, powerful new allies at Octavia’s side are determined to make it so. Where once was a mission undertaken with hesitation now comes an obligation to carry the Ambassador’s crown with pride. To save them all is to fight for those ensnared, however, and Octavia must face her greatest fears head-on in the name of restoring peace. ... more>>

Those left behind are not as simple as they appear. Encounters with a lonely child and a mysterious Muse are unlike all she has ever seen, challenging truths long since taken as fact. Embroiled in a game of deception, Octavia is torn between her responsibilities and her faith in those she holds dearest. The spider web thickens ever further, and it will take everything in Octavia’s heart to stay untangled.

For all Octavia and those she loves have come to know of the Maestro world, more remains to be seen each and every day. Whether covetous, self-sacrificial, or plagued with the burden of mistakes long past, what it means to be a Maestro is no simple interpretation. For everything upon which her light shines, there remain truths shrouded in shadow even now. Above all else, for the sake of two worlds so different from one another, Octavia must pray that her love is enough--even if she has to risk it all.

Welcome to Mendass, a place where guns pop out of corpses, orphans dress up as vigilantes, and a slime became a demon lord. Huh? Those are three different worlds unrelated to Mendass? Whoops, I'm reading the wrong script. Just give me a second.... more>>

Okay, I found the correct script. So Side Note follows the story of some random maid with a thinking debuff called insanity and believes she has a power trapped in her left eye, but not in a chuuni way, since it turns out she does have a power in her left eye! So do her shadows!

Huh? The shadow part is a bit too far along the story? Eh, whatever. It's not like I spoiled she dies in the end or something… does she die in the end? She dies at random points in the story? That's stupid… Woah! Don't cut my paycheck! It's a great idea! Very funny! It adds to the organised chaos thing you've got going! Put the gun down! I'll finish it!

Ahem. Read along as the main character travels about in Mendass, meeting with peculiar characters like the spirit of a lemon tree, a reality-bending bunny girl, and at least six different people named Jack. Her journey will start in Hamblin, a town found at the very edge of the world, literally right next to an endless abyss, the place of her employer, the Queen of Hamblin, who will... execute the... am I reading this right? Are you really starting the story with the main character about to be executed? Is this some sort of fake protagonist switch-up? Like, I know she dies at some random point midway, but at the beginning? Really? Wait… why are you holding up the gu-

Side Note (Haha, get it?): This is the story of a mad maid travelling in a mad world, meeting others who are mostly as mad. I mean, come on, the world's name is an anagram for Madness (Not combat). Expect nonsense, references, and the following of the comedy comes in threes rule. <<less

Book 3 in the Nath’aniel Series
With the Lost Nazi Legion defeated, peaceful contact established to much of the tribes of the Savage Lands and... more>> SHIELD cautiously acknowledging the sovereignty of Nath’aniel and the Magi, what is next for him and his friends the Brotherhood of Mutants? Will they be left alone? Or will splinter groups and hidden threats rear their heads to lash out at them from odd angles? What is next for a Mage and his Servants?
----------------------------------------------------------------
This story is the continuation for ‘A Mage in the Savage Lands’, but it is also highly suggested if you haven’t read ‘A Knight and the Raven’ then you may want to do that first as there are several new faces in the Brotherhood added in that side story. This book is about as long as the second novel, but unfortunately it is not complete at time of posting (work and life distracting me).
As such I will be slower in posting for a bit till the first draft is complete, namely only 2 chapters a week, instead of 3, but once the first draft is finished (hopefully only a couple of weeks), I will return to a 3 chapters a week release. I want reliable posting, rather than rushed and sloppy.
Sexual Content is ticked, because in this novel unlike the last one there are a couple of explicit scenes. They are not full chapters but the shorter Interludes and are marked with a (NSFW) in their chapter title. Gore is ticked, because again, these are generally super humans fighting and killing regular people, so it can be a bit messy. Strong Language is ticked, because some of these characters just have a potty mouth and swear.
Each chapter will be between 2500 and 3000 words, while interludes will be shorter (around 1500-1800 words). [Note I do not include the chapter line nor the following two lines (the header) in my personal word count, so it may be about 15-20 words longer]
Updates will be on Tue & Sat (or Sun).

One month after that fateful night at SIAR, Octavia is left following her sister’s footsteps ever further into the deepest depths of the Maestro world. With a path to eradicating the Dissonance clear to see, Octavia is thrust into the role of Ambassador--a guide to a realm so unlike her own. A face for her partner, a gift at her fingertips, and a plan to repair what was broken are within her grasp. However, with such a burden comes a gruesome cost that threatens to tear her apart at the seams. Only time will tell how far Octavia is willing to go to salvage a world not hers to keep.... more>>

At home, things are far from looking up in the shadow of the catastrophes left in her wake. When her Maestro friends begin to fall prey to strange, hostile occurrences one after another, grief and loss are the least of their problems. Ruthless flames, a sentence changed, and even the birth of a new Maestro threaten to shatter the fragile peace they'd hoped to cobble together in Coda once more.

Straddling the burdens of two worlds, neither carries with it easy truths. Even so, as the Maestros’ powers blossom in ways she’d never expected, Octavia is left to wonder if she’s in too deep. Every action comes with a consequence, and Octavia may not know as much about the Maestro world as she’s been led to believe.

This story is the continuation from A Mage in Marvel,... more>> if you have not already read that story. You should do so before continuing. This novel is longer than the first one, so it may be a bit much for some, but sadly as with a good story it was just too hard to reduce or remove some parts, as each chapter somewhat leads to the next.

Sexual Content is ticked, because in this novel unlike the last one there are a couple of explicit scenes.

A young witch, on his own for the first time, might look vulnerable to witches with different priorities, but they seriously underestimate his ability to make loyal friends, human and otherwise.... more>>

For generations, Christian’s family have had a natural ability to see beings that are usually invisible to humans and to do magic. They aren’t, however, the only witches in the world or even in the area. When his Scottish-born mother wants to return to her family, and her husband and his widower father decide to go with her, Christian inherits the responsibility for their house and its hidden library.

Not alone, however. His family leave him with a roommate, Mark, an apparently normal human around his own age. But appearances are especially deceptive in this case.

Christian builds a reputation, first around the New Age bookshop where he works, then beyond that, as someone to turn to when things go bump in the night. Whether it's lingering negative energy, a lost ghost, or a dangerous infestation, he'll solve it. Sometimes, that's with the help of a powerful, sensual, and often bloodthirsty lamia who is still perplexed about how she has come to genuinely care about a human.

Throw in a group of witches called the Fellowship, who are firmly convinced that all witches should come under their authority and above all else stay below the radar; a subgroup within the Fellowship who feel that the ends for the greater good justify any means; a few supernatural threats; a friend from another independent witch family, who has a very close past history with a kitsune who says less than she does; Christian’s Dungeons and Dragons gamer group; a young black cat in dire need of a home; a colony of feral cats inherited from his great-aunt; and a couple of non-witch friends, and life gets complicated in a hurry.

Two characters in this are significantly transgender, in different ways, and orientation is mostly not a consideration. Oh, and it's set in 1998, which was when the very first, very rough draft was written.

CONTENT WARNINGS This one does have more explicit sex and violence than my usual, and that’s primarily all about the titular lamia herself. It’s going to be difficult to be comprehensive without spoilers, but feel free to ask if you have questions, I completely understand. Broad strokes: lamias are a form of energy vampire/succubus (sort of) and actively hunt men to feed, usually without killing but also without consent – if you’re okay with the typical vampire/succubus morality this should be okay. (Consent is different with humans she knows!) Lamias tend to have a very direct and physical approach to removing obstacles and annoyances; most of the violence is towards aggressive supernatural creatures (one scene came out particularly gory), but not all of it. One minor character who appears briefly late in the story endured some abuse that ends at that point. There’s no harm done to children or animals with the single exception of a cat hunting a mouse. Please be careful with this one!

I’m told this one really needs a sequel to make the very end resolve better, although no complaints otherwise! I intend to write one, but my To-Do list is crowded. I’ll get there, but you’ve been warned! <<less

Five years ago, fifteen-year-old Octavia lost her beloved older sister, a talented violinist, under uncertain circumstances. Now, unwilling to accept her sister’s fate, a chance encounter with a strange dream, a violin she’d long thought lost, and a young flutist with inexplicable abilities thrusts her headfirst into the mystical world of Maestros--musicians with incredible powers. In tandem with her newfound knowledgeable companion, Viola, their goals are twofold and mutual: uncover the truth behind the disappearance of Octavia’s sister and eradicate the agony-born forces of Dissonance that silently plague the world unseen. ... more>>

Their trials require helping hands, whom they discover in ways more than unusual--Madrigal, a beacon of hospitality with a heroine complex; Harper, an orphan with a devotion to kindness and protecting others; and Renato, a rebellious thrill-seeker who seems to adore trouble. Together, their eccentric team must work to delve into the depths of the Maestro world, one step at a time.

For better or worse, their encounters lead them to cities concealing dark secrets, a cultural institution harboring more than meets the eye, and fleeting meetings with the ambiguous restoration aficionado, Alessandro Drey. As her newfound powers blossom and her Maestro world widens, Octavia may not always enjoy the truths she uncovers--or the heinous decisions she’s forced to make.

Lieutenant Asher Wulverman can’t make any sense of how the city of Valenda disappeared overnight, with the Royal Family still inside, but it’s not his job to figure it out. He’s only here to keep the peace. Between a scandal dividing high-society nobles, a town ready to revolt, and a childhood friend stirring uncomfortable emotions, Asher has his work cut out for him.

Except the forces behind everything are older than the Kingdom, and they’re impossible to comprehend. Asher quickly finds himself the next target, thrust into a forbidden world of monsters and old magic. His only help in this fatal land comes from a mysterious man going by Penn, a man whose eyes catch fire, who is using Asher as much as he is helping him.

Only a person willing to make unspeakable sacrifices can become the last hope of humanity in the face of this ancient evil, but the more Asher fights to save those he loves, the more he risks losing himself. <<less

Book 1 in the Nath'aniel Series
Mages, a subspecies of humanity which were forgotten to the pages of history. They were able to wield the energies of magic easier and quicker than any other group that attempted to learn the mystic arts on Earth. And today centuries, if not millennia, since their disappearance the Earth is different. We have planes and tanks, internet and radio. But it has other groups appearing as well. The Enhanced, people empowered through science to be better, stronger than the average person. And Mutants, those born with the rare X gene that grant them wondrous powers of varying application, that can trigger at any time. Sometimes at birth, puberty, or... more>> when you discover you wife and children dead in a trench.

This story is inspired by other Marvel fanficion, but takes concepts from outside of Marvel. This world is not the MCU, it is not the 616. It is a world inspired by them. Also it holds rules and mechanics inspired from the Fate Anime series, namely the concept of Servants. Humans empowered by myth and magic to be more than they are. This is novel 1 of a planned series, how long will it be I am not certain yet. But I did not want to just shove you, the reader, into a wild and twisted world, but rather build up to it, so some of you may see it as a slow burn. But hopefully for those of you giving it a shot, you will find it and the characters an entertaining distraction.

Sexual Content is ticked because there is sex hinted in one chapter of this book, but later books may be more blatant. (This is not smut). Gore is ticked because combat it semi realistic, super powered people will tear and rend normal opponents apart. Strong Language is ticked because some characters will be swearing.

Each chapter will be between 2200 and 2800 words, while interludes will be shorter (around 1500 words). [Note i do not include the chapter line nor the following two lines (the header) in my personal word count, so it may be about 15-20 word longer]
