My Dreamwalker System
4.49
Xander Nyxon was born with a gift: the ability to lift the veil of sleep and travel to the world beyond. He is one of the few rare individuals who can enter dreams and nightmares at will. While most Dreamwalkers ply their trade on the Dreamscape, Xander Nyxon is one of the reckless few who travels to the Nightscape seeking answers from the deceased. However, walking through nightmares is a perilous task even for the most experienced Dreamwalker. A thin veil separates the real world from the realm beyond, holding the terrors of the Nightscape at bay. But things quickly go wrong when a group of cultists cause the wall between the worlds to crumble. What happens when dreams and nightmares merge with the real world and twisted Ethereals start clawing their way out of the Nightscape? *** Xander was lifted off his feet and pushed back several paces. He desperately tried to get back on the ground, but his legs kept dangling mid-air. “I knew you’d be coming,” the mysterious figure whispered, pulling his hood back to reveal a hideous face riddled with scars. He was blind in the left eye and all his teeth were grimy black. “What the hell are you freaks up to?” Xander growled, desperately trying to break free from the cultist’s grasp. “Who are you guys?” The cultist smiled at this and replied, “Our names are inconsequential, Dreamwalker. But I think you already know what we are up to. Our world is plagued by sin. It is time for it to be cleansed by the Dark Deity’s blessing!” What to expect? 1. Dungeons. 2. Magic. 3. Creatures from folklore, myth and fantasy. 4. A level-up system with skill upgrades. 5. Mystery and adventure. [If you like the story, do consider buying privilege/premium chapters to help me out.

The hair on my skin rose and I shuddered under his touch. I immediately drew my hand back. "It looks good on you .... Katherine." He complimented and his enchanting gaze seemed to bewitch me. "Thankyou" I said, without even giving it a second thought. Immediately I wanted to take that 'thankyou' back. Thank you? Of all the things I could have said, "thankyou" was the worst. I didn't want Lucas thinking that I liked his compliment. It didn't take much thinking to realize that he was trouble, and I had enough trouble looming, no need to invite more. "And I prefer Kat." I corrected, realizing that he had called me Katherine earlier. "Why not Katherine?" His gaze looked appraising. "Cause it's boring." I answered and turned towards the chalkboard. "I think it's beautiful." His reply caught me off guard and I turned sideways, he was still staring at me intently, with those dazzling charcoal grey eyes.] * * * * * Excerpt 2, [He shifted in his seat and his eyes met mine. "I believe there's always more to everything than it meets the eye." He was inclining towards me now. "Do you not believe in witches?" "I don't. . ." I lied. "They only exists in folklores and myths." I added to make my lie more convincing. I noticed his lips turn into a smile but it faded away the second he looked at me. "Are you sure?" He raised an eyebrow. "Do things out of blue not elevate your curiousity?" "They do." I replied. In fact, everything happening lately had my curiosity skyrocketed. "And have you ever tried to find answers to those questions? If you do find the answers. . ." He leaned in closer. "I bet you won't be disappointed." He was unnecessarily close, his husky voice went straight into my ears. He shifted back in his seat and put his hands behind his head. There was a smirk plastered on his lips and for some reasons I had a feeling that he had challenged me to some mysterious quest.] * * * * *

A Tale of Chinese New Year Lovers: My Dragon, My Love
4.95
"When Chinese New Year happens, that's the only time I get to see him." - AX Althea Xi, an orphan and a freelance article writer in most Shanghai mainland broadcasting and newspaper companies wanted to become a famous top author in China through an international competition that will end before the new year of 2023. She came up with the decision to use the 'The Legend of the Cursed Dragon' as her setting for her work, in which her deceased grandmother always told her when it was nighttime when she was just a kid. But fate turned the tables around when she has been disqualified from the competition as soon as she used the prohibited folklore. She used that opportunity to abandon the story that was etched through her mind for a long time by throwing the bejeweled box that she was forbidden to open to the Yangtze River. Her deceased grandmother had been guarding it since her teenage years, and she knew that the box and the legend had been bringing her a stroke of bad luck all throughout her life. But before she could even leave the river, she accidentally tripped through rocks and fell down on the deep waters. She swam upwards with all her might, but little did she know, she was being transported through the year 1904, where a Chinese New Year celebration was happening on the side of the river. --------------------------- A LITTLE EXCERPT: "I exude a powerful charm I never imagined that would save you." "It was because of the power of love we have on each other." He then claimed her lips in the middle of the rain while the rivers of the Yangtze River were evident. He held onto her waist after a while. And she scraped her fingernails on his hair. They both love each other, they both do. ---------------------------- DISCLAIMER: The characters portrayed in this drama are fictitious. Organizations, names, places, and situations are based on imagination. The story used Chinese New Year as a reference for the Chinese New Year contest, and no distortion of historical resources had been made. Only the parallels of the worlds had been used, and the reality of Chinese mythology had been inked through this novel. The cover's background rights reserved through Pinterest artworks.

I Evolved Into A Lovecraftian Incubus
Throughout history, humans have revered both gods and demons, and this has given rise to a plethora of urban legends. For example, consider the fabled tale of Santa Claus or the horrifying story of the slit-mouthed woman. Or perhaps the tragic ghost story of La Llorona; or perhaps nebulous ideas about ghosts, yoakais, and monsters in general. These monsters are created in some ways by man's collective unconscious. Communal belief, as the manfestation of mankind, lends form and meaning to these unfathomable creatures. Fear is a powerful thing. The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. The bigger question is whether these stories and urban legends are simply made-up tales passed down from generation to generation until they become true. Is there a deeper meaning underlying every tale, folklore, or story? Well, the answer to that question is far more horrific than many people can comprehend. Every ghost, yokai, god, demon, folklore, urban myth, and supernatural occurrence stems from the same source. These are pataphysical beings who are born in mankind's dreams and roam the astral dimension. These beings are known as Fluxes. The Fluxes are a race of living concepts that are given life by the collective unconscious and completely transcend the laws of physics entirely. They cannot be understood using science since they are manifestations of human emotions and the power they possess is not of the physical plane of existence. They cannot be harmed by contemporary weapons; the only way to vanquish a Flux is to entirely erase the memory of its existence. Or if a Dreamer takes action and fights the entity on their own, as a Dreamer is capable of reaching the astral plane by will. Dreamers are basically evolved humans with one distinct supernatural ability and the capacity to travel dreams. Because of their abilities, they can literally tamper with the actuality and laws of the universe and reality as a whole, and as such, they are the only thing capable of defeating and straight-up killing a Flux. Dane Winter, a 23-year-old Higris University student, one day finds himself in a predicament where he encounters a strong Flux named Madam Butterfly in his dreams with the offer of becoming her avatar, or better yet a beacon that can guide her to the physical world. Dane accepted the offer, thinking it was a dream, not realizing that taking the hand of Madam Butterfly would catapult him balls deep into the supernatural world. And now he has entirely evolved and transcended his humanity completely, becoming a Flux, or more accurately, an eldritch Incubus. He still requires sex to survive, but it is not his primary source of nutrition. Dane, as a Lovecraftian Incubus, feeds mostly on the fear and emotions of women. With Dane being a straightforward and cool guy, how will he handle with these new changes in his life? Will he succumb to corruption, or will he evolve into something far greater; find out in this one-of-a-kind story of romance, adventure, horror, thriller, and mystery.

Transcended Blood
Not all things can be explained, not all things can be comprehended, not all things are known. Vampires, demons, angels, gods, monsters.

They just decide not to let their existence be known to us. After all, we are not worth their time. Insignificant creatures who have no special power, that's us humans. But, throughout history, their existence have been turned into fiction, their stories have become entertainment. But beware, for not all stories are fiction. Perhaps, some of us knew their existence, turning them into fiction not for our entertainment, but to enlighten the currently ignorant mankind. Perhaps, it is for us to know and accept the existence of the supernatural. The following story you are about to read, might not just be fiction..

The Whistlers
Author: Author, teacher, storyteller, and supernatural historian Mason Winfield studied English and Classics at Denison University, earned a master’s degree in British literature at Boston College, and studied poetry and fiction at SUNY Buffalo with professor emeritus and MacArthur grant recipient Irving Feldman. He has written or edited fourteen books, including the regional sensation “Shadows of the Western Door” (1997) and “Iroquois Supernatural,” co-authored with Michael Bastine, on the traditions of the Six Longhouse Nations (Inner Traditions International/Bear & Company, 2011). Several of his surveys of upstate folklore and paranormal tradition may be found at the website of Western New York Wares: www.buffalobooks.com. He may be reached at www.masonwinfield.com. An anatomically perfect human jaw fashioned of diamond-hard quartz crystal is uncovered at an Ohio burial mound and sold on the underground antiquities market. Shortly after, three pothunters are found dead. A mysterious new drug suspected of South American origin surfaces in Buffalo, NY. Its unprecedented psycho-tropic effects include the momentary activation of ESP. Blind, speechless, emaciated street people start appearing in many parts of the world. An urban legend-cycle forms around them, and the name of a murderous old cult, “the Whistlers” attaches to them. An archaeological team at a Mayan site reports finding a bizarre artifact and vanishes. An upstate schoolteacher’s book of New York legends and folklore foreshadows these developments and more. These are the threads – plus his affair with a maddening woman – that draw narrator Ward Courier into the international adventure of occultism, terror, Native American tradition and onrushing prophecy that is Mason Winfield’s anticipated new novel THE WHISTLERS. By the time the picture of THE WHISTLERS becomes clear, we are ready to believe in a sinister conspiracy that could predate Atlantis and even hail from another world.

Wintertide's Lullaby "A Tale of Song and Searching"
"It all started with a lullaby. With a voice more melodic than a nightingale's but a heart colder than winter. Hatred led to the death of the innocent. A blood sacrifice was made. Lullabies glorify death. You'll know why. For now, listen to the Wintertide's Lullaby." Lumi never knew what safety felt like. When she did, she never wanted to let it go. Life had other plans for her, but fate had sympathy and gave her a gift. She will never be alone ever again. Matthos Trem wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but his heart was always in the right place. In the midst of a pandemic, he finds himself entangled with a creature never encountered by anyone before. With his best friend, Barney Matthos goes on an adventure to discover the pearl of the orient sea and find the answer to what is killing his people. And Lumi is both the answer and the question. Excerpt:Matthos chuckled, “So it was like that?” Judging from the circumstances he found her in, she should’ve been dead. She’s barely alive, he noted. He snapped back to reality as the wind grew stronger. The storm will only get stronger from then on. His time was limited. With that, Matthos carefully took her in his arms. She was barely breathing. He felt the burning need to save her, an unfamiliar feeling like never before. Without further ado, he walked away, leaving the fountain and the peaceful life he believed he would lead from then on.Books used as study basis:A Handbook of Philippine Folklore by Mellie Leandicho LopezSoul Mates, Karma and Reincarnation by Jaime T.
