This is the 2nd draft of Firesong Ballad: Ember (name has changed)... more>>

Mina is on a mission of revenge. She has sworn her life to kill all those who have wronged her. People born with the ability to control an element are rare, and as one of the few she may actually be able to pull it off.

As powerful as she is, she begrudgingly admits that it's not a quest she can take on alone. She enlists the help of a cranky swordsman and an ever-dutiful knight.

Her plans are thrown into disarray when a powerful foe reveals themselves. It's hard to turn down the amount of money offered to defeat them, even with the possibility of death around every corner.

She is soon joined by a curious raccoon man that has a penchant for taking things that don't belong to him, and an elf that has spent his entire life in a gilded cage.

Mina will have to learn to navigate these four personalities while desperately trying to return to her quest. She doesn't have time for silly things like emotions.

What to expect:
Ember is a fantasy adventure with a reverse harem subplot. It is a journey of self-discovery, intrigue, growth, with some comedy thrown in the mix. Join Mina as she travels between countries to bring down one of the biggest threats the world has seen for centuries.

The name Laurel Hawke is feared among those who know it.... more>>

But before Laurel was the emperor’s most skilled and inventive torturer, he was a beautiful and refined young scholar. He’s plucked out of the mud and raised up by the emperor’s beloved granddaughter to further her schemes because Laurel has a talent—as one of the yaojing, he can make the loveliest flowers bloom.

When Laurel comes of age, Li Jiayi, the head of the Phoenix Court of supernatural beings, wants Laurel’s skills and quick intellect for her own. He’s set to investigate a series of fires and partnered with a bright-haired diplomat from the islands of Nippon—a brash and laughing man who Laurel hates immediately.

Shigeru teases and toys with Laurel. He does everything for fun and seems to take nothing seriously, but as their investigation deepens and the danger around Laurel grows, Laurel finds that there’s more to Shigeru than meets the eye—and they discover a conspiracy that runs deeper than they imagined.

To humans, daemons are simply monsters; worse than animals, violent and feral. They are beasts, no matter how human they can appear. Daemons feel no... more>> better about humans. To them, humans are savage brutes, greedy and destructive. The animosity between the races has gone on for generations, with pointless acts of violence between them. No one knows who started it all, but it probably won't end any time soon. That is just the way things are, after all. It is only natural that daemons hate humans and humans hate daemons.
As for Candor, he doesn't know much about those things. He is simply a little fox, who was found in the woods as a kit and raised by Grandfather. He just likes to eat and sleep, and play with Anthony, who came to live with Grandfather so he could go to school in the village. Anthony soon becomes his world, his playmate, his best friend, his everything.

Meet Zanda, fresh from the prestige of becoming a Gevurah, member of the Fifth Sephirah, a powerful league of guardians in charge of protecting the seemingly perfect reality of planet Malkuth. Yet, her first day after graduation spirals into unforeseen chaos, reminding her that the luminosity of malkuthian society masks a profound darkness. As the young Gevurah confronts the challenges her new title involves, she is thrust into a journey beyond the realms of her training and expectations.... more>>

Parallel to Zanda's tale is that of Adria, a woman ensnarled in the brutal survivalist life of Dictaduria, the third country in the continent for exiled criminals, Sectum. Wrongly accused of her crimes, living in poverty and marooned in a social structure designed to mirror the struggles of a life under failed political regimes, Adria finds herself forgotten by time. That, until the day an unexpected opportunity that could change the core of who she is, and bring her liberty, presents itself when a bloodied and tortured man named Corven crosses her path, about to be murdered by sadistic hands.

"A Tree of Omens" is meant to interlace the destinies of Zanda and Adria, two souls from disparate worlds, bound by a shared fate that will pave the path for new generations in a galaxy where futuristic ideals and ancient secrets collide.

With the promise of a timeless epic that not only questions the nature of utopia but also the very fabric that weaves our universe, this is an open invitation to witness the unfolding of The Omens.

The journey begins now – are you ready to delve into the hidden knowledge? <<less

Mirk has lost everything: his noble family, his home, and nearly his life. All he has left is his grandfather’s staff and the K’maneda, the strange band of foreign mercenaries who saved him. He decides to build a new life among them in their wandering City of Glass, dedicating himself to healing the outcast and forgotten men who did everything to protect him. Providence makes no mistakes. And to live is to serve.... more>>

Genesis is an expert at three things: binding magic, assassination, and cleaning potions. Everything else is a mystery to him, especially people. Which is a crucial shortcoming, considering his ambition is to launch an insurrection against the corrupt mages who have warped the K’maneda into a machine designed to grind up the poor for the benefit of the wealthy. He will never be free; his nature is destruction. Since he can’t escape it, he will use it to liberate those who aren’t bound to obey.

They’re an unexpected team: the unrelenting and inhumanly powerful Destroyer and the kindly healer with the right lineage and a knack for putting the right people in the right places. But will it be enough to ensure the revolution prevails? And is there more to their relationship beyond a mutually beneficial alliance?

Featuring: Slowest of slow-burns, grumpy x sunshine, size difference to the max, perpetual hurt/comfort, and a whole lotta bed sharing. HEA guaranteed...eventually. <<less

When Mitchell awoke that morning, he had no idea that before he went to bed he'd be in another world. ... more>>

He had expected a fun night out with his friends watching an old movie. After their sudden cancellation, he was approached outside the theater by a gorgeous woman with purple eyes and a strange accent. But she was more than what she seemed. Mitchell found himself transported to another world, mere seconds before losing his head. With his life on the line, and this mysterious woman by his side, he has to quickly learn how to use magic, a blade, and even the local language before he and an entire kingdom run out of time. Achieving all of that will be far from easy, as his enemies are as powerful and numerous as his allies are beautiful and few. The darkness in this unfamiliar land hides nightmares far beyond any old movie, so Mitchell will need all the strength and skill he and his women can muster if he is to succeed. Will he succeed and be the hero this new land needs?

By some freak coincidence, Song Ci mistakenly consumed the blood of the Demon King, causing himself to become a demon too. A weak scholar…… forced to suffer in silence.... more>>

What was even more tragic was that no matter where he went, demons would attack him from all directions braying for his blood, or they would squeeze his neck while interrogating him about his relationship with the Demon King.

As such, Song Ci became an anti-fan of the Demon King. Regardless of who praised the Demon King, he would be the first to stand out and refute them.

Song Ci fled for his life as he searched for the gate leading to the Demon Realm. Along the way, he clung on to the thigh of an influential man, and went to great pains to persuade him to slay the Demon King together with him and restore peace to the human world.

Song Ci, “Sooner or later, I will skin the Demon King, rip the tendons off him, and drink his blood!”

Rong Bai (smiling), “I admire the way you think.”

Who knew that, after entering the demon realm —

Tens of thousands of monsters bowed their heads and kowtowed to this thigh beside him and shouted “Long live the Demon King!”

Song Ci was stunned.

Rong Bai (smiling), “What did you say you were going to do when you came to the Demon Realm?”
