Death isn’t always the end, and sometimes we mistake it for a short nap at the end of a very long, and very stressful day.... more>>

A frontier village was unnecessarily put to the sword. A father stoked the fires of war to punish an errant daughter, and perhaps set her straight, but as often happens when fire is applied in a measure too much: it can get rather out of hand.

Nobody was supposed to die that day… but the village burned all the same, and the woman she loved was among the dead! Enraged, and seized with inspiration, she became something new, something stronger, and she will have her revenge! <<less

Sara dies and reincarnates into a world similar to the otome game. She knows how things will go. They always go the same way, right? But she thinks reluctantly,"I have no will to fight it. Let it be as it is. Whatever is fine".... more>>

Sara slowly grows up enjoying her time. She has never been too serious about her life though. She has already decided what her future should be. So why bother?

Previously on Earth, Alemayehu and Chae-Won were childhood friends in a city in South Korea. As they were both thirteen years old, young and pretty, they were captured by some rapists in a back alley, but Alemayehu escaped and ran to the police. When she tried to run back for her friend, they held her back, but they did not arrive in time for one of the rapists to murder Chae-Won.... more>>

Thirteen years later, Maya dies trying to bravely rescue a girl who reminds her of Chae-Won from the same back alley situation, and gets transferred to a ruined world. All previous deities ― except for one last goddess, the same Chae-Won Choi who was her friend ― have abandoned it to its fate. Chae-Won is otherwise stuck ― alone ― in this world; but so is Alemayehu, who she has summoned.

The reason? A cruel endless plague has turned normal living sentient beings into artificial undead ... and also turned a once fertile ground into desert wasteland. This world is larger than Earth, has a larger percent of its surface as a landmass; the plague took nearly no time to spread through the world. For almost half a century this plague has raged, with now less than 0.01 percent of its pre-plague populace free from the plague.

The lone goddess is at her wit's end. To save the world ― or to save herself from going mad upon it ― she gave up on the chance to leave it; she now must summon a Hero who will be her last ultimate Champion to the remaining survivors. Once at a world populace exceeding fifteen *billion* sentient lives, it now has barely one and a half million living, and now twenty billion undead.

The situation has gone from bad to worse, and the state of the world with it; its survivors no longer care to think of it as an ideal world. Despite this, they still try to survive the best they can, or at least to not die out suddenly. The goddess Chae-Won has been trying to nurture an elite few of the remaining populace to be sort of heroes, to mixed results.

Maya, tasked with going to this world to organize and train the survivalists ... just might help bring their world back to the state it once was, with the goddess' help. <<less

For a year I would always dream of visiting another world. Living as the marionette of a little slum boy, growing with him.... more>>

With that one year that boy became an adult and turned that marionette into a life sized doll, built his own kingdom, and died.

On the day of my retirement I ate some bad lobster and now I find myself in this other world. Not as a visitor but as a resident. Though instead of being a shriveled up old man I turned into a tall faceless wood doll copying the human form.

Now I travel the world, making up for the time I couldn't spend with that boy

. . . It's . . . cold . . . but . . . i do not . . . know why . . . Why i feel . . . ALIVE.
Despite abandoning what i once had, i do not feel any remorse, no ... regret.
I stood there, focusing my eyes and there i saw it. IT awaits me somewhere along the journey, for the sole reason i came here. To Twist Fate.

How did it come to this ? How far have i fallen ? How long should i wait for the moment to come ? How am i supposed to believe what is beyond this realm ?
How the heck am i supposed to believe what was merely an unfinished [redacted] to become [redacted] itself ?
Should i live on, going back on an ever ending journey for another purpose?
Or do i finish the job, and end this once and for all for the good of all [redacted] of this world?
For the questions i will have along the road, i've prepared for it.

This log served me as a medium on the journey. Be it storytelling, learning, reflecting, and as a reminder of what i could and could not be .
For whoever picks this up, i give you my condolences. This where i left you to decide, i hope what's inside can help you whatever trouble you may end up on.
Goodbye, [redacted] Signing Off.

Follow along as he discovers the world of Altaris and his logs while he searches for the other 3 and a way to get all of them out of there alive, One Way or Another. (")

“Alright, enough,” Red barks. “Listen pup, we can’t afford to waste time on your existential crisis. Jack just told you we’re being tracked, and it’s only a matter of time before something else is sent after us. If you really want to test your existence, then go play with whatever comes crawling out of the next portal.”... more>>

Mioko adopts a Little Red Riding Hood persona to remain close to someone precious to her. But this isn’t a story of whimsy or fairy tales. It’s a story about heart; the presence of it, the absence of it, and the devastation when the wrong one gets broken.

Mioko’s new life is one of cat and mouse as she uses a portal mechanic to flee across game and story worlds. She recruits the aid of Jack and Wolf from the Little Red Riding Hood, then uses their help to overcome obstacles in the forms of zombies, werewolves, a dragon, a Frankenstein monster and more.

Stopping what’s happening would technically make her a hero, but don’t look to her as such. She’s not a hero, and she’s no one’s champion. She’s only her father’s daughter, and the only thing that matters is retrieving the gift that he left behind for her—the one that was stolen.

So her goal is a selfish one, the means of which won’t be heroic. Bystanders will have their own role to play. As Mioko becomes the butterfly of her task, she will leave her effects for others to deal with as they may. The only thing that matters for her is recovering what was lost.

In short, how an ordinary, boring and lonely girl hides that she is the most powerful and renowned individual in the world and fights a few personal battles while trying to look cool (and having the mannerisms of an eighty year old swordsman in the process) as she wears an antiquated mask that hides her identity.... more>>

At length: Qin City, the capital of the Qinzhao Empire, is renamed for the large number of talents who inhabit it. The emperor and his relatives, the royal family of elves, the hero who saved the world from demons, the most valiant and wise among the orcs and dwarves, and many other figures remembered throughout the world.

But the grayish marble streets that are home to so many people also conceal shadows and secrets—a hidden world where eyes cannot gaze, ravens that watch from the darkness, and an immemorial and unconscious evil that awakens after millennia.

Playing the role of adversary to these monsters, enemies and demons is no important face of the Empire, but a cheap and pretty mask of black colour and vengeful appearance, hiding a simple little girl. Get ready, residents of Qin City.

For while the secret organizations burn and the billowing smoke heads for the sky and the puppeteers find themselves empty-handed, when secrets come to the surface, no matter how heavy, and the name Scar veiledly touches the tongues of every citizen, a familiar face finally emerges from the fog.

"Tomorrow they will try to end the life of the Emperor's son! No, I can't say it that way. It must sound, hmm—cooler! Tomorrow...Hell...will blaze the earth and palaces will collapse for the lack of their master, regretted by the world below as he ascends to godhood in another realm! That, if we don’t stop it!!”

After a century of peace, the Drenhari armada has returned. ... more>>

Distracted and divided, caught in the midst of celebration, the Federation scrambles to reach a forgotten entrance to their territory. This entrance lays on the doorstep of humanity, unguarded by their fleets which parade weeks away.

A ghost of the old war, retired Admiral Sterran Kreischer shoulders his old responsibilities once more with the help of an alien Witch. The Federation’s ambassador to humanity, Ohrdin. With limited resources they seek to force an overwhelming enemy down into the valley trenches of HE-1, a frozen wasteland of ice, rock and torrential wind.

A pair of ships, seventeen thousand soldiers, witchcraft and a burning desperation to spare their home the horrors of war. How many of these will be lost trading lives for time? In the face of swarming foes, consuming winter and a seemingly impossible task, will determination be enough or will the promise of devastation awaken an equal cruelty in them? <<less

A story's final form.... more>>

Blurb:
Mioko adopts a Little Red Riding Hood persona to remain close to someone precious to her. But this isn’t a story of whimsy or fairy tales. It’s a story about heart; the presence of it, the absence of it, and the devastation when the wrong one gets broken.

It all started with the loss of a loved one and a vie for ownership of a thing left behind, which somehow scaled into an apocalyptic event. Stopping it would technically make her a hero, but don’t look to her as such. She’s not a hero, and she’s no one’s champion. She’s only her father’s daughter, and the only thing that matters is retrieving the gift that was left for her—the one that was stolen. Her goal is a selfish one, the means of which won’t be heroic. Bystanders will have their own role to play. As Mioko attains the strength to do what she must, it will probably fall to others to clean up the destruction in her wake.

Continuity:
This is the rewrite of Redux Riding Hood. The title has been changed to Rune Wolf with RRH moved to a subtitle. The MC's name has been changed from Sarah to Mioko and you will find that the characters are more developed, the writing is much improved, and that the story is more cohesive overall. <<less

A betrayal of the worst kind and an accident puts a tremendous strain on Jose and Athena's happy relationship.

One of the richest men in the world, a scientist of great renown, a philanthropist and father to thousands, never expected the afterlife to be... more bureaucracy. Thankfully, David Hearst wasn't the one dealing with it because when you are a high enough status customer, bureaucracy is the one dealing with you.... more>>

Follow David as he digs through his foggy memories, deals with annoying adventurers, trades with the locals, and once again builds an economical empire. With Cherz, hacker extraordinaire, lock picking lawyer fan, helping him along the way through patches and bug reports, how far can they go?

No, really. How far? I have no idea.

Quick description:

The story is about an altruistic businessman, but who is ready to kill all who oppose him despite that. He is a mix of the capitalist dream and nightmare in one package.

The story is HEAVILY industrialisation focused, but not fully, as only David, our main character is concerned about it.

There will be countless other POV’s that I will try to write as if it was a different genre.
