Until Dusk Protocol

At the heart of a wish lies an attempt at completion, a human desire to become our true and final selves. Wishes are fuelled by regrets and are bound eternally to the past, serving as approximations of what once was. We all experience regret and nostalgia, leading us to make wishes and find despair, but can we become our true selves despite this all? That's where the story of a girl who struggles to control her desires begins... Two souls sharing the same body and memory are living in Kyoto 2031. Tang-Ji Shizukesa, a girl who's grown up in her previous life with a hardcore passion for gaming, is now a bookworm in her new life who has no interest in video games. Along with her, Kazami and Hoyeon, the three childhood friends who separated 7 years ago due to an accident, have now been reunited again in a VRMMORPG game known as Dusk Protocol. The game has a unique combat system known as "Leere," a physical manifestation of an individual soul that can be conjured into deadly weapons. As Tang-Ji navigates this virtual world, she confronts the echoes of her past and the dissonance between her former self and her present identity. How will she cope with the rediscovery of a life she thought she left behind? How will Kazami and Hoyeon react to the new Tang-Ji? In a world where reality is malleable and death is just a click of a button away, the boundaries between past and present blur, forcing everyone to grapple with the truth of who they truly are.

Fragments Of Rohana

The world of Rohana exists beneath a barrier of luminous crosses that has enclosed humanity in a dome. Within it, the Rohana Federation bends to Rohai, a godlike figure whose staff bears seven crystals of immense power. His Church of Harmony has divided the world into city dwellers who harness crystal technology to live in advancement and comfort, and villagers who reject these powers, cling to simpler traditions, staying beyond the Church's reach. Haran Baratti fled his homeland and, along with his son Heron, sought refuge in Haugstad. Perhaps it was the will of the Creators, but after several star cycles of found peace, a tragedy strikes, leaving Heron to find himself alone with a mission to return to Tiwaz. The problem is that Tiwaz is in a different kingdom, a whole world away, and to get there, he'll need a special passport. One way to obtain it is to join an adventuring party that does international jobs. Heron will have to navigate a world of mechanical cities powered by crystalline powers and governed by various social structures. There he'll meet allies and face dangerous foes. And all of them have secrets; some of them, if revealed to the public, may reshape the very foundations of the Rohana Federation. Will Heron, in learning those secrets, realize that maybe some of those secrets should have stayed buried? What to expect: ‣ Dark steampunk-inspired power fantasy with extensive world-building ‣ Magic systems where power comes at a psychological cost ‣ Visceral, well-choreographed combat sequences ‣ Mysteries that unfold across multiple volumes ‣ Steampunk aesthetics merged with elemental magic ‣ Stories where the actors are often found in morally grey areas ------------------------------------------- Chapters are broken into subchapters and are released daily. Each part is between 1000 and 1500 words, depending on how the chapter is split. Exceptions are parts that have "(end)" in the title, as they serve to conclude chapters.

Gilded Ashes: When Shadows Reign

In a world haunted by darkness, a single spark can rewrite fate itself. When shadows devour everything he ever knew, Raizen is left with nothing but grief - and a vow to hunt down and kill every Nyx. He shouldn't have been alive. But darkness made a mistake. Now, he'll burn the world to hunt it down. At his side stands Hikari, a mysterious girl with a blurry past and a dark fate she cannot escape - one that even she fears. From the ashes of loss to The Underworks, to the halls of Neoshima's Lotus Academy, and Vanguard duty - Raizen's surrounded by ruthless rivals, corrupt officials, adapting creatures and secrets sharp enough to kill. He must grow stronger - or die quietly. A story with battles of unimaginable scale. A world that still echoes from disaster. Awakened powers that break every limit. Some call it Eon - a power beyond fate, a force that can bend reality itself. But something far darker is waking inside of Raizen. Something not meant to protect life... But to end it. As the darkness spreads, only one truth remains: The journey has only just begun. ⊰ 40K+ FREE WORDS BEFORE LOCK ⊱ A few words from the author: Hey there! Thanks for checking out Gilded Ashes!
