Realizing the unique situation he finds himself in, the lieutenant takes the opportunity to change the fate of the battle and ensure an overwhelming American victory. Guided by his "patronizing" "God" and the American revolutionaries, Lieutenant Kim embarks on a journey to help America gain its independence and to ensure the nation uphold its "most promising" ideals from the very beginning.... more>>

Janus Campbell can't fight. And unfortunately for him, that's the only way to survive.... more>>

Upcoming physicist Janus Campbell is trapped in the world of Tersaia, where shadow monsters lurk the streets, anyone can be monitored at any time and fighting is the best way to make a living; either through the Rumble Circuit, a world-wide ranking of combatants that keeps track of participants' wins and losses in competitive duels, or through slaying the constantly spawning Essencima that terrorize the population.

Unfortunately for Janus, he doesn't know how to fight. No special moves. No signature techniques. Not even a basic grab.

However, there are two people that might be able to help him out. Itzel, an avaricious woman with the ability to manipulate the wind, and Gurk, a man-crocodile hybrid of few words that can control ice, are the ones that will have to help Janus if they ever want to leave the harrowing alleys of Labrisson and rank up in the Rumble Circuit.

Welcome to the Flight of the Draykes. This novel is a System-based sword and magic Western Fantasy with elements of gamelit (Dungeons) and eastern cultivation (The system).... more>>

Genre: Fantasy, Historical, Action, Adventure, and a sprinkle of Romance with Comedy.

Pacing: Slow at first till chapter 30 before becoming a rollercoaster.

Known Issues: Ages of the Protagonist and allies at the start.

NOTE: THE AGES IN THIS NOVEL ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THEIR ACTUAL MATURITY. THEY ARE PROTEANS, NOT HUMANS. Also, if you're looking for smut, this novel isn't for you. Not in the slightest.

On a fewer caps note: The age maturity thing is integral to the plot and it will be explained rationally as the books go along. You are free to guess why that is.

Synopsis:

Book 1 presents to you the world of Protos.

Protos is the land of the blessed. Its inhabitants are of many races, but most of them have diminished in the long wars against the beasts that also inhabit Protos.

This has led to humanity becoming the dominant species and eventually, all other races, including the beasts, have been banished to pockets of land where they survive on meager existences.

However, Protos was destined not to be peaceful as the inhabitants could only fight off the beasts with the help of warforce. A bloodline system that allows them to activate their war potential and battle fiercely.

Now, with the beasts defeated and the other races diminished, humanity - having no common foe to fight turned upon itself, for war was in their blood and they again shed their blood in rivers.

As the years passed, kingdoms and empires rose and fell and eventually stabilized into an uneasy peace until - 300 years ago, the world went through yet another change.

A change where the wielders of warforce now possessed additional powers that had been lost for millennia. These powers changed the face of war again and conflict, which was dying down, reignited madly.

In this world was born Faustus Drayke, Scion of House Drayke - which, in turn, was the frontier protector of The Kingdom of Leon.

Fate decreed him to be unimportant.

His Destiny and the desperate prophecy of a powerless girl decreed that he will be an immortal.

Set in the backdrop of betrayal, honor, and loyalty - Follow the tale of Faustus Drayke as he forges his destiny and becomes an immortal.

For himself, he has to fulfill the prophecy.

For the world, he better fulfill the prophecy.

Born into prestige and gifted with talent, Pascal was a promising officer cadet whose deeds caught even the King's gaze. At the mere age of twenty, he had everything a young, ambitious man could need to begin a promising career.... more>>

Except his habitual arrogance had destroyed every opportunity of a close friendship outside his political marriage.

Seeking a companion who meets his protracted list of requirements, Pascal decided to craft the 'perfect spell' for the upcoming familiar ceremony. If those around him were not fit to accompany his genius, then he would summon a best friend through his own hands -- one that was mature, intelligent, knowledgeable, bright, and cute as well.

He received far more than he bargained for... and in turn, so did the shifting geopolitical power balance of his world.

This is not a power-fantasy or the usual 'feel-good' story you might find on this site. If you feel that a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises due to difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you.

Daybreak is a story that delves into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that makes me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality.

Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:
- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy
- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics
- [Magical Technology]: how magic changes the sociotechnological evolution of civilization in a high-fantasy world
- [Genderbender]: exploration of gender identity, gender role, and discussion of social expectations
- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims

Blurb:

Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless.

But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands.

Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right.

Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed.

Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure. <<less

Book 2 Back Cover Blurb:

Merlabria, the crown jewel of the Mercan League, it’s beauty and splendor unmatched upon Syroneika. However, not everything is as it seems, foul intentions are afoot, and the city hides many secrets. The two princes vie for dominance, accruing power and swaying the nobles. Yet the Archon refuses to name an heir inviting more chaos, for a pit of snakes has no shortage of vipers.

Trapped between competing interests the Scholar and his retinue remain wary, the trip has been filled with danger, and their enemies willing to kill. A private meeting with the Archon could resolve these concerns, yet the Archon has plans of his own, whether these plans coincide with that of House Amyntas remains to be seen. The Scholar will have to make many decisions affecting the lives of those around him, all the while training a fledgling Niko to better control his newfound abilities lest they threaten to consume his body.

Many things swirl within the web of conflict, with many shadowy forces moving in the peripheries. Yet a rapid return home to the safety of Temrenos may not be as safe as one might assume. Winter is upon the horizon and dark clouds form; this season promises to be more unforgiving than the last… and it will take all the wits the Scholar and those under his command have, to come out intact. For the Encroaching Roots of the wicked promise but two things, death, and destruction.

Expectations suck and young Edwin knows it better than most. Born the youngest son of the second wife of a retired adventurer turned village guardian, he feels his life is being taken away from him, being shaped by what others want him to do.... more>>

His grandfather expects him to succeed in his life’s work as village head, his father expects Edwin to be better than him, and his older brother expects him to just drop dead.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨?

He’s the weakest and most untalented of his siblings, whatever he can do. Surely his older "grumpier" half-brother and "Unique" half-sister can do better.

If it was up to him, he would go out and brave the dangers of the world, dread wolves, dragons, giant sand worms, and gargantuan sea serpents. He would fight them all and live many adventures, turning his name into legend.

Sadly, things hardly go the way we want them to.

Lucky for him, the recent arrival of a mage to the coastal town of Hillside has given Edwin an opportunity, a chance that may change his life forever as outside forces play in the background with the delicate balance maintaining the peace.

Edwin will now give it his all to journey through the path of magic while learning about the people in his life and the circumstances that lead to his birth.

The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag.

Why are they screaming?

Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world…

Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest.

Falling prey to the machinations of his younger brother, Jonas IV Helen Hadin III was quickly disowned by his father, Duke Hadin, then shipped away into exile in less than a week to a colony of the Motherland. Worse, it was in the Orcish Continent.

Now, war is on the horizon with the orcish tribes and clans. Jonas hopes to prepare a stalwart defense to survive with those he cares about and he would if he didn't have to face a million other issues. From crazy pirates, power-hungry mercenaries, entitled nobles, famine, ancient cities filled with unspeakable horrors and much much more.

A young orphan works hard every single day, trying to single-handedly keep his parents’ business alive, all the while tortured by a terrible curse.... more>>

Then came the day that a wizard became his mentor - and he learned that his entire life was a lie… His parents didn’t just die, they were brutally murdered; he was not cursed at all; his uncle was not in fact his uncle; and he could channel magic! Struggling to rise above the tragedy of his horrific past, he is now thrown into an entirely new world.

Day by day he must push himself to catch up with his new peers, learning the secrets of this vast new world, while studying the arts of combat, weapons, and magic!

Where do his strengths lie? What are his talents? Is he strong enough to overcome the obstacles in his way?

And why is he considered so unique?

The secrets of the academy, of the missing ambassador, of the hidden dragons, and of the empires and kingdoms marching to war in the east - all have been hurled into an abyss so deep that they should never be found.

Yet Yaric grew up in the abyss, and watching his new world get dragged down by the secrets, Yaric is forced to plunge right back in. But as Yaric already knows, staring into the abyss is easy. Falling in is effortless. Rising back out however, that may not be possible at all!

Only for those who want more than a brief synopsis...
What to expect:

The mc is kind of overpowered, but not in a typical way. And definitely not in an obvious way. He does get more overpowered as the story develops though. Again, not in a normal way.

Yaric is central, but many side characters are very important. The world doesn’t revolve around him.

There will not be any training montages. Power is gained through effort, and training and learning is part of the journey. Some will likely consider the story ‘slow burn’ – the mc is discovered to have magical potential, and then spends many years studying. Lore is revealed as the mc learns. The journey is the story.

The mc’s journey will include training missions, fulfilling appeals (effectively ‘adventuring’), diplomatic missions, small scale skirmishes and large-scale wars encompassing multiple nations. Mysteries and crimes will have to be solved along the way. There will be monsters, creatures hiding in the dark, and apocalyptic behemoths. Oh, and there will be dragons. Very important dragons. They’re coming!

There will be combat, martial arts, different kinds of magic, and various forms of crafting. Different nations have different cultures; politics, trade, and wars between them are important. Battles aren't just groups of soldiers slugging it out. Ok, sometimes they are...

It might take a while to get there, but there are overarching plots over and above the minor plots and story arcs. The main plot starts right at the beginning.

The world:

It's less medieval and more Roman Empire/Ancient China, if they both had magic and 1000’s of years of extra development. Just like they had occupations such as administrators, secretaries, lawyers, architects, acrobats, firemen and accountants, so too does Malvec and the surrounding nations. The sapient population includes humans, elves, dwarves, draugr and lichs. Wildlife includes ogres and vardøgers, trolls and gnolls, hellcats and nightwing bats. And much more!

Technology is more advanced, due to 2 main differences between those empires and nations like Malvec
Time: Civilization has been around longer - by thousands of years. Mass production is common. Assembly lines have been developed. Various forms of schools and education are widespread. Steam power, internal combustion engines and electricity are practically the only things missing. Essentially power generation and storage.
Food: Mages drastically enhance food production, making populations both larger and more diverse. A much larger % of the population take up other jobs.

Chapters on Saturdays. <<less
