A more realistic take on a relationship featuring interest from an inhuman element. It's not rosy, it won't be smooth, there's no instantaneous affection. As such the story is barely even a romance - there's struggle, ambiguity and things going from bad to worse on an express train. All that said, there will be semblance of a happy ending. <<less

All that Flinn ever wanted was the love and affection of his family. The acknowledgment of his cold father, caring sister, and indifferent older brother. It was to the point he became a runaway to join the Hunting Guild. His desire was strong.... more>>

Despite being an ordinary person, Flinn amassed enough fortune to enter the most expensive academy in the world. One that was famous in making the strongest MagiKnights in history.

Ultima Academy.

As soon as he became 18 of age, he finally chose to return. Changing his appearance and improving on his own unique style. Growing in a way that was suitable for his own talents. He was a simple fighter, but his dreams were great.

The only thing that got in his way were these weird people hanging around him. They kept on trying to gain his favour and ask him to make contracts with them. Flinn called the police.

He was not going to fall for their nonsense. It wouldn’t be long before he was accepted.

At least, that was how Flinn dreamed… <<less

Alex's ordinary life is shattered when an explosion of magic nearly destroys the Museum of Natural History, revealing to her that magic really exists.

"Alex Paige: The Red Sanctum" weaves a captivating tale of discovery, friendship, and the relentless pursuit of truth, inviting readers to join Alex as she steps into a realm where the line between ally and enemy blurs, and where her newfound powers could either illuminate the path to the Truth, or serve as her own path to demise. <<less

Along the way, they gain acquaintances, enemies, and undead slaves who differ from the usual word-slurring walking bag of bones.

In this world of fantasy magic is a drug, a bare-knuckle fight can be more destructive than wizardry, and the lost art of the arcane can shape the structured outcome of any given battle.

Author's note:

I've always been a fan of progression fantasy. However, I do feel disappointed by many of them, with too many characters that vanish into irrelevancy, sometimes arcs that are overly repetitive and a lack of characters ideals. In this story, I aim to instill more character ideals, motivations, and integrate said characters throughout the story, and ensure their interaction with the main character remain relevant to his heart. Perhaps, it's best to say I want the story to have a 'human spirit' that one could feel in old-school wuxia and action/adventure stories. <<less

In a dystopian world forever altered and twisted by the discovery of the enigmatic "Rift," a gambling addict by the name of Natasha fights her... more>> way through the "underground," a disorderly and multifaceted region located beneath the surface.

Will she ascend or be forgotten? <<less

Yet, the Terrans became mired in their comforts and decadence, neglecting the other inhabitants of the Solar System. So begins a new age of war, a tragedy of a long neglected history.... more>>

Author's note:

In this story, I intend to integrate elements from shows I love-- gundam, modern sci-fi shows such as 'The Expanse', add strategic elements from shows such as legend of galactic heroes. These elements might be political intrigue, more technological development, robotics, cyberpunk, character development, rationality. Ultimately, I want the story to end up with a strong sense of hope despite the horrors of conflict. <<less

Syla Rivern is an average adventurer from a small town.... more>>

She handles people's daily requests and occasionally goes to different dungeons to clear out monsters on the request of guilds.

I never thought I would get to watch the collapse of civilization in real time. Yet, here I am. One of the survivors of an apocalypse that no one quite understands. All we know is that something is in the water. Every river, lake, stream, ocean, sea, well, ditch, puddle. You name it. All of it has been infected by something. It was happening for months before solid rain fell from the sky. I don't mean snow or hail. I mean crystalized rain. ... more>>

It was the solid rain that sparked the changes. First were animals that mutated. Then it was humans. Governments tried to keep things quiet but word began to get out. Stories of people lighting things on fire with their minds. Of others crushing stones with their bare hands. But it wasn't just fancy powers that people got. Some became freakish monsters. Some even turned into cannibalistic zombie-like monstrosities. Me? I don't really know, all I know is I have somehow survived.

But I suppose, it just doesn't matter anymore.
