It is a world of both machine-guns and magic, and it is a world at war.

One soldier – a powerful mage – believes she can turn the tide of the war with knowledge and experience from another world.

Is one soldier enough to re-write history? Or will fate prove too strong an adversary?

The year is 1954, and one thought drives millions of people to the deserts of Utah: "What would I do with a wish?" Me? I already know the answer to that, but I am left with a more challenging question: "What would I do for a wish?"

After refusing to read the rules, Nerio Pinkerton, semi-former semi-mercenary, and Etteilla Laveau, the most powerful of the three magicians on the planet, are forced to work together in a race around the world. Along the way, they will fend off gods, monsters, workplace drama, and the eccentric people desperate enough to join such a race.

A story I've been working on for the past few years. I tried to go with a big, ensemble cast each with their own motivations that are intertwined with each other. There's Nerio, a scorned mercenary trying to find a reason to live. Etteilla, a magic user trying to learn how it all works. Urho Häyhä, a Finnish veteran missing his child's life in the hopes of being able to see it. Gottlieb Kober, a vengeful man trying to rewrite history. Johnathan Rutledge Light, a moron. Sheri Hoy Parfit, a genius inventor too far ahead of her time to be taken seriously. Euclid Grenfell and Mr. Maxwell, the mysterious creators of the globetrotting race. Karin Bernays, the woman who learned too much about them. And, Revatti Alcubierre, an out-of-luck actress from three hundred years in the future.

Alice awakes from bed. She will be dead in less then 10 minutes.

A mailman with an anthrax envelope.

An unknown one with a kitchen knife.

The good Samaritan enjoying its coffee and Bible.

A hitman with a purpose.

After the car crash, Silas didn’t wake up on the side of the road, or in the hospital, but inside a strange facility decades into the future, with a new body built for battle, and no memory of how he got there or what it all means.

Now, he’s on the run from killer androids and the army of automatons they control, in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic landscape ravaged by war.

The only way for him to save what’s left of humanity and recover his memory is to go directly into the heart of the beast, confronting his most powerful enemies in order to take their special abilities—called Protocols—as his own.

It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *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.

Music holds a wondrous power.

Strange things are happening in the city as the lives of several people, each with their very own weird quirk, become entangled with one another. All the while one man stands in the center of it all, guiding each of them via what seems to be nothing but random actions. But remember everyone has their own agenda - and his leads back to the disappearance of a certain woman and the music on her phone. Every song is magic, every line has a meaning and in the end everything is connected.

Despite years and years of conflict, and deaths reaching beyond what the mind can even fathom, the world continues to wage war amongst themselves. Those in power seem to wish for peace but are not willing to give any concessions to do so. The nations of the world, such as Tufe; a nation with infinite spells to victory, Rikta; a nation able to bend the elements to their will, and Oslionia; whose ingenuity is their source of pride, each feel as if they still have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

The seemingly impossible question then for this world is has become this; Can a world that seems to be built on war, find peace?

Hello! I got the idea for this story from a dream that I had. Me and Jay are very excited to share our creation with you, and we hope you like it!

Imagine a world that's layered like a wedding cake.

Sometimes those one considers heroes, end up being a villain in disguise. However, the victim is not always the victim.

Rose, a 25 year old with a perfect imagine in town of a warm heart innocent person who helps out those in need, suffered of her family being murdered. Ha-Joon a 30 year old FBI detective who is on search of a serial killer that has been lately killing females in the area. Azumi a victim of rape who is a suspect of murder, Axel, a university student who is also a suspect of murder of his ex girlfriend. The increase of killings in the area scare the city, leaving them chills on the thought of who the murderers are. Who truly is innocent, and who is guilty? (This story consists of various points of views in order to understand what is going on, and shifts from present to past or vice versa.)

Five totally unspecial children are "chosen" to be heroes and defeat the demon king's rise. The thing is, they weren't supposed to be heroes. None of them were due to their unstable powers, tempers and unusual backgrounds. Thanks to their friend's mistake, everyone's lives are resting in their hands.Can these unprepared heroes save the world? Or Fail miserably?

Two years after the Initiative defeated the Kett the colonies are thriving. The only stasis pods left to open are those with lost identification records. Who or what will they awaken?
