A giant tree popped up in the middle of the Atlantic ocean covering the world in a strange new radiation and because of it, people began to change. First, there are the Chosen. These super humans have only slight physical changes and yet can manifest amazing elemental powers. Next, you have the Infected. These humans have experienced large scale body changes which range from animal adaptations to simply grotesque body decomposition. Most are still normal and sane humans who attempt to adapt to life while being shunned by others. There are some however that have grown deranged and think themselves the rulers of the world. Our MC lives a somewhat lonely life while sometimes being accompanied by his rather senile yet kind grandfather. He has no idea where his parents went after they dropped him off a few years ago, so he has no choice but to stay here. He lives by the idea that he should just be air and not be noticed in the slightest. All of this goes ok until things start changing and Laz starts getting dragged around in many different directions. Welcome to a story of Gods, evolution, love, adult situations and basically bringing a bit of eastern fantasy to western civilization. Hope you enjoy the ride.

She was born royal, but was denied the privileges. He was given all the privileges, but denied his royal title. Both wish to be free of the chains of fate and will stop at nothing to gain power. Damia’s birth was a miracle. The shifter race was dwindling, and a female shifter had not been born in half a century. But regardless of this fact, she was never treasured, as her kind was feared. A fateful encounter would bless her with the strength needed to save herself from certain death. But this would also unleash a catastrophic evil dwelling inside her. In her rampage, no force is strong enough to withstand her, let alone take her down, except one: the demon king. However, no demon had risen to power since the last king’s death in the Great War. That would soon change as Damia’s rise is the trigger needed to unseal his power. Xerxes will rise, but his priorities will be skewed and the evil in him will rival Damia’s. With so much darkness unleashed at one time, the scales are tipped, and the balance between good and evil lost. Can a hero be found to rescue the world, or will this be the end of further existence.

This story narrates about certain individuals - called Ars Goetians, a people, who got a talent to exist inside the world of dreams and use supernatural powers that work only in Dreamworld. Using them can affect the real world at some point, but not supernaturally, meaning that Ars Goetians cannot use their powers in reality, but it affects them greatly in the real world. The circumstances of this story take us to a world that looks just like our own, specifically to an international university in "Ryoto" - a fictional Japanese city that is second only to Tokyo. At some crucial moment, strange events started to happen. People start to disappear all around the country, some are losing their memories or turning against one another. A young Ars Goetian named Akira Yamauchi is trying to investigate what is the cause of these events. Akira studies at an international university during the day and enters the Dreamscape at night. He's fighting his way to learn the truth about his powers, himself, and how to summon powerful demons, gods, and heroes to fight beside him in a dreamworld. He is trying to oppose his father, who works as a politician and also being very skillful Ars Goetian. In a Dream reality called - Dreamscape, he and his father have a goal - find a legendary - lesser key of Solomon. This certain key exists only in the dreamworld and can open the gates of "Haven" and lead a person to a "Promised Land" to obtain infinite luck, wealth, and power in the real world. Akira himself believes that by opening the gates to the promised land, he can find the spirit of his dead mother.

Dear Prof. Rearden, I, Haruhi, wish to whisk you away to a faraway world named Earth 3^(n-42) where magic is in every word of prayer. Where the Gods preside over every man and their kin, nations have their disagreements. Where The Man decides, from himself He derives the cultures of creation. Yet man still young—in his twenties—pulled by indigent bootstraps to war lives his life unyieldingly. Yet he is still a young man, and like a young man, he is selfish. Whereby selfishly he claims through war his fame he is destined to be the lesser of his subordinates. Cruel irony in life that through infamy he’ll thrive but destroy every one who loves him. And never though any fault of his own; his circumstance is by fate all ready-made. The Gods do avail of theatre and play—the actors, the arena, the show. An endless entertainment for all who’ll avail it, the other to man in mirrors shown. An end-of-monthly subscription for grading and a mission to complete two chapters each time. From April to May through February and March on the first and sixteenth, is whereabouts I will arrive to deliver a chapter and wish you thereafter a merry, joyful time. Revel and roister, Faust and his Oyster, the first of his tragic? tale. And 10 speeches by King whose day was just passed, I hope these and class readings suffice. Therefore, for these days, I will put the other agent away to focus and learn on creative direction and spurn any other invitations for Wednesday after work. See you soon, -Haruhi

A world where humanity is but a legend told to children. Where new species thrive and settle down to create kingdoms and prosper. Those not strong enough to protect themselves, or don't work hard enough to live their lives normally, forced to slave away at any task deemed fit. A fleeting dream, a tale of continuous challenges and growth. Welcome to the future, dear readers. ---------------------- This idea came to me by accidentally drawing something, and it stemmed into the idea for this story. I hope you enjoy, and please leave any feedback and reviews along the way. I'd love to grow better as a reader for everyone here.

"The year is 1814 and Sir Thomas Lee is helping her 2nd daughter, Lucinda. Also known as Lesser Lucy. Lesser Lucy, you asked? Well, Dear reader, the answer is Prudence Powell but people like to call her Pretty Prudence. But Lucy thinks she's the worst. (Such a noisy chit.) Like everybody said, Like mother, Like daughter. Geraldine Colborne has been widowed 4 times and has 3 daughters. Priscilla Oakley, Prudence Powell and Cecily Colette Colborne. Cecily is one of my dearest friends. Along with Diana Davine Dyke." (i will be making this 3 part series, cause there is 3 of them. Lucinda, Cecily and Diana.)

Lies, Lies are everywhere, some are found in the temples, some are found on streets. But what causes a person to lie? What are their ideals? What and why they survive by telling a lie? Or should I say when DID IT ALL STARTED?

In the Grand Cosmos Cultivators reign supreme, but even amongst Cultivators there are distinctions whether that be by Realm or Ranking. From the Earthly Powers List, to the Heaven's Board, and even the Divine Dragon Ranking, they all serve as a representation of a Cultivator's strength, but none of these can be compared to the Inner Cosmos Grand Ranking. Re, Guardian of Azure Star, seeks to reach the Summit of the Inner Cosmos Grand Ranking and receive the fabled reward, the Cosmic Awakening Pill! ---------------------------------------------------------- First and foremost no Harem, since I know that's a big issue amongst readers. I don't even know if there'll be a love interest but it won't be a big focal point if there is. Secondly it will and won't be a standard Xianxia/Xuanhuan but simultaneously will be I don't know if someone's written a similar story before although someone probably has, but I've had this general idea for a while now and wanted to see how it'd go. Thirdly this is for fun mostly so while I won't delete any reviews or anything you don't need to come at me spitefully just say your piece and leave if you don't like it.

super short collection of even shorter stories. all of which i do for fun.
