The Androids and the Artificial Creationist are synonymous. No one masters them as much as the great power. Mass-producing high-quality humanoid robots with human-like features and behaviors is a magic that isn't found anywhere but on their hands. With such unparalleled gift, they lay claim upon the entire First Continent. They expanded their borders, preached their values, until they reach the doorstep of the only power that could challenge them, the empire of Terran Vindicator. It's the Third Great Liberation War. The Primus, Supreme Leader of the Artificial Creationist, will not stop until his enemies perish or submit to him. First Sergeant Grauwelle Caitlyn is one amongst hundreds of millions of Androids manufactured by the state. She is a tool to pursue their interests, a mean to wage wars. Haunted by her past, she is never sure of herself. The constant losses of her tank crews justify her every harrowing thought. And she is ever distant from any accomplishment. The shackle loosens when she finds herself an invaluable partner. The flames of war are eager to forge them both. Together they'll consolidate their place in the world. Through the carnage of the bloodiest conflict on earth, he will eventually drive her home.

Jack loves his life. Yeah, he lives at the edge of a warzone between armies of monstrosities. You call it dangerous. Jack calls it Tuesday. Folks in town aren't too keen on a fourteen-year-old running the only bar, but Jack has it under control. Maybe his customers trash the place more than he would like, but sometimes cybernetically enhanced mercenaries need to blow off some steam. With the help of Zekefriend, mentor, monkeyJack serves drinks to anyone who comes through his door. And for the right price, he might even sell you something with a bit more kick & something magical. When Corva gets knocked through the wall of his bar, Jack decides to help her out. Sure she's being chased by a pack of bounty hunters and she's got no idea why. But she can fight. Holy hell, she can fight. Jack could use someone like that to keep a little order in the bar. That should be a win-win, but Jack's and Corva's problems are bigger than either of them can guess, big enough change the course of the war. Fulcrum is a post-Armageddon dystopian science fiction fantasy with a taste of anime. Technology, magic, and a badass monkey. The drinks aren't on the house, but you're welcome to stay until last call. Chapters are released every weekday... unless they're short. Then it'll be a couple chapters that day. The full story for Season One is complete, but still in the process of being posted here. If you like it and want to support it, you can purchase Fulcrum: Season One now and read the whole story before it's posted here.

In a world of magic, ruled by many warring races, the human kingdoms are being pushed to the brink of collapse. In a desperate bid to gain the strength to stand on an equal footing with the other nations, they perform a forbidden ritual to summon combat slaves from another dimension. Unluckily for them, Mors Letus, recently named by their world's God of Death, was one of them. **** Warning **** This is a re-release (The Summoned) of the first book I wrote in partnership with my brother (who later forced the story to be pulled (It was released on his account here)). I have started writing my own version of the story (BOM: The Summoned) and will continue to primarily invest in that, though, now I have permission to re-release this one, I plan finish this as I have the drafts and it was close to the end of the first book. Many characters/scenes and events match/Will match BOM: The Summoned, especially in future arc's (Past Flatner forest). If you don't like spoilers, don't want to get confused between the two stories or hate first attempts at writing (god awfulgrammar/sentence structure and storytelling), I would advise against reading.

{COMPLETED} Alaina wishes to be more than a mere icon for her kingdom, believing a princess should be much more than a fragile lady in a dress. The king wants no more than for her to marry in order to succeed the throne, but she has other things in mind -- such as her thirst for freedom and adventure. But when one of the neighbouring kingdoms demands that it's time for a change in the land of Asteria, her entire kingdom is shaken. To worsen the situation, the king is somehow caving in to the demands irrationally. Stubbornly refusing to resign herself to the kingdom's seemingly inevitable fate, she is forced to leave her home in search for the root of the problems. Along with people of diverse backgrounds she comes to trust and a hotheaded boy with pyrokinesis named Kai, Alaina joins an uprising rebellion against the forming empire. But the rebellion is only the beginning of the end, for the end result isn't as perfect as how they have proudly perceived and imagined it to be - some sacrifices are destined to be made. *****{ Book 1 of The Recalcitrance Trilogy }* IMPORTANT! *No copyright infringement intended on the art of the cover.Art Credits: Alexandra V.

Tighyt Sasomac is a normal person on the world of Kantala. Sure, he's a powerful human, and basically the leader of a city, but a normal human, at least for his level during the current regime. He went to bed like any normal decade. He woke up on another planet. One named Earth. And there, no one has any idea about magic. So yeah, he's basically able to do anything he wants-but monsters lurk on Earth. As his large mana pool fills Earth, the threats to Earth grow. Maybe it isn't some slum where there isn't any magic after all... That's the story. Here's more of the technical aspect. So, most of you you probably know that isekai is one of the most popular genres on this platform. For those of you who don't know what isekai is, it's when the main character, a normal person from Earth, gets teleported to some other planet with magic. Progression type magic. This is a spin on isekai. Instead of the main character, an Earthling, getting teleported to some planet with magic, someone from the magic planet, with powerful magic, is teleported to Earth. I wouldn't exactly call the main character's powers magic, but super strength achieved through a magic system is close enough to magic (the MC is a melee fighter). That leads to all sort of funny scenes where no one but the MC knows about magic power. Until the MC uses his high-level mana pool to make Earth into a magic planet, combining Post Apocalyptic with isekai. High fantasy with low fantasy. All sorts of stuff going together that shouldn't have. This is ruling class, but it won't be dedicated to town-building (it's more "MC is so OP he can declare himself king of Earth because he feels like it and the natives are too weak to resist). Content warnings are mainly for creative freedom, but I'm going to keep it within boundaries. Sadly, I couldn't do a full sized novel, but I promise, my next story will be out soon, and much higher quality (more description). Plus, unlike my previous story, this is normal-in a good way. Here's what to expect: Longer chapters Character driven Decent grammar Consistancy
