"Why us?" Still staring at the unusually stationary fire of the candle he was holding, Agung voiced the questions in our mind. "Out of 2 million people living in this city, why are we the chosen ones?"... more>>

As if on cue, the eerie laughter of children could be heard above us. Holding our own candle tightly, we resolved to ignore them and continued our discussion.

It was a matter of life or death after all.

More than half of the initial participants had fallen and the building became more crowded as the result. There were now more ghosts than the living and each step was filled with danger from the unknown.

Either we solved all the questions now or we would become another addition to the ghost camp.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was one thing Novita found out after she accepted an invitation to a suspicious event from a seemingly legal company.

Crowded didn't exactly mean safe.

As more and more variables were added to the dangerous ritual, the higher the risk of death. At the same time, the higher the risk was, the better the rewards for it.

But in the end, was it worth it?

Thirteen Keys to rule the world.
Only one Key to judge them all.... more>>

Ezra King may not have been the coolest, the tallest, or the most athletic, but he had always proven to be the most dependable. A persona that lent itself well to the mantle of class president. He was a junior in high school, and no one could deny his efforts - and neither could they get close enough to look behind his shiny facade.
Wherever darkness hid in plain sight, he would be there to enforce the will of his master, Ophiuchus. As his alter ego "Renegade", he would inevitably try and judge whoever was unlucky enough to find their name on his hit list.

But when someone in his personal life suddenly falls victim to a crime, he finds himself drawn into an endless loop of hiding and self-doubt, torn between conflicts of loyalty and feelings of pain he has never faced before. Was sleeping with men he'd just met the answer, or was he just running away from that one guy who suddenly burst into his life and never wanted to leave?
And will any of this even matter, as the Keys, which open the door to the underworld, are targeted by an unknown group of people? Now they need to keep all hell from breaking loose.

*UPDATES are going to be a bit funky on this one.
**Yes, the synopsis sucks, I'm working on it. Don't I always. <<less

The world hides many things from ordinary people as there are many dangerous beings that lurks around them.... more>>

The only people capable of fighting them back are the ones chosen by a Book Of Fate who were given the full truth about the world.

And his inclusion would change the Fate of the World. <<less

Lost, in both literal and metaphorical sense, a glimmer of hope arises in the form of a mysterious butler. The latter offers him answers to his questions on condition that he is ready to follow him to obtain them.

What will the young boy do? What will be his decision? Because every choice he will make could well seal his destiny forever. <<less

An ancient hunchback named Finnel is the principal of a school where students’ special abilities might be called magical, supernatural powers.... more>>

Or, maybe those students’ heightened attributes are more like honed talents any ordinary person could discover and dedicate to developing.

Either way, at Finnel's school, even the most otherworldly of traits always finds its source in something REAL . . . in actual human capacities, like intuition, empathy, awareness, strength...

REAL is a series of ongoing tales, each centered around an individual student at Finnel's school.

Framing slice-of-life authenticity with cool powers and uplifting humor, REAL maintains a light, fun tone while never shying away from digging down deep into weighty themes like identity, connection, and meaning. <<less

The challenges before him become somewhat complicated by scheming lords and ladies, needy orphans, an impish servant of otherworldly beings, and a variety of undead citizens. Luckily, Doctor Lupino's skill set extends beyond the realms of science and medicine as we know them.
I guess you might call this one magical realism or something like that.... more>>

It isn't all that great of a material to Kooky, but some people find it's ability to imprison non-native beings of Del-Atar within itself to be well worth it's price. Along with it's use as a fuel source. As such, Kooky joins arms with Elves, Half-Elves, Warforged, Gnomes, Tieflings, and even a mutant Changeling in an effort to take back the stolen fragments of Spirit-Ore so that the airship can be repaired.
Granted, Kooky at this point never realized the future devastation she is about to prevent with her journey.

The world of Del-Atar belongs to my friend and Dungeon Master of the Dawn of Cataclysm campaign.
I play as Kooky the Artificer, along with two of my friends who play various characters throughout the campaign. Yes, I am the only one thus far who has not had to make a new character. One reason why they even have new characters to start with is because resurrections have severe penalties in our campaign. Anyway, do understand we are still going through our campaign, and that at some point I will have to stop updating this for a while. <<less

"A new town, a new start. I was given a work contract, and a chance at a better life. Everything seemed perfect, or perhaps too perfect. At first glance, the town, my work and my apartment, it all seemed like true paradise, but little did I know about the true nature of Remocwen."... more>>

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

This story is inspired by dreams and fears, my own personal experiences and the many obstacles my husband and I have faced so far. And although it's written in a First Person narrative, the *I* is a combination of several individuals such as relatives and acquaintances. Different minds and perspectives poured into a cascade of strange events.

Fueled by life's hardships and how much stress and anxiety can affect one's creativity and imagination, it depicts the story in a strange and twisted way. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I choose to turn the chaotic nature of life into writing and drawing fuel. So whether you enjoy this or not, this story is close to my heart, and how I see life through the eyes of dark imagination.

Kindly,
Rin.

An on a side note, I will be writing/uploading a new chapter once a week *if possible*. <<less
