Can a blind person survive in a world that despises, ignores, and humiliates them? "I'm blind." "There's no doubt..." After finishing the story and creating the character Adel, I suddenly "opened" my eyes and realized that I was now in his body. He was the final villain of the game I was working on. However, there is something strange about Adel and the game’s protagonist, a Regressor.

Tragedy will for many times trample upon what ambition was meant to be. It'll carry on until happiness is no longer in sight. Longing such sensations and emotions that were lost, a being—sometimes intelligent—will seek refuge. Refuge, however, may come in many forms. For the boy called, Ashikaga Ren, this refuge is named revenge. To pin one down. To burn their face with scorching metal. To break their bones. To pierce their hearts with his sword. To obtain happiness back — this is the only objective of his life. To end those who befell him and his house in the most painful way known to mankind — his only support. However, life doesn't work like that, and some things are never achievable for the individual... though, that only applies to the individual. A team might do the job — better yet, a crew. From that point on, he decided to never lose anything again; He decided to regain what was lost. All of that with his new family. ------ [Chapters are long, spanning from 3k to 11k words.] Patreon soon. (Temporary cover art.

For decades, humanity has lived in a world that isn't quite what it seems. Since the Great Awakening of 1952, magic, monsters, and people capable of supernatural feats have existed beneath the surface of ordinary society. And while most people remain blissfully unaware of the hidden world around them, eighteen-year-old Cyrus Moore is about to have that ignorance ripped away, whether he wants it to or not. After a devastating accident leaves him on the brink of death, Cyrus awakens to something impossible: a power he never knew that existed within him.

Every answer seems to uncover another secret, and every step forward draws him deeper into a conflict that has been unfolding long before he was ever made aware of it. With enemies lurking in the shadows and allies whose true intentions aren't always clear, Cyrus must learn who he can trust while struggling to understand what is happening around him. But the deeper Cyrus ventures into this hidden world, the more he realizes that his awakening may not be all that it seems. Something is changing. Reality is beginning to crack at the edges. Old mysteries are beginning to surface. Dangerous forces are moving in the shadows. And the boundary between humanity and the supernatural is becoming increasingly fragile.

(on hold, while i work on other stories) The darkness was all This had ever been. No light. No sound. No warmth. Only itself, and time. Then, without warning, This was torn from the only existence it had ever known and forced into the body of a thirteen-year-old girl named Sansa Stark. With her body came memories that were not its own: a family, a home, songs, lessons, dreams, fears. Thirteen years of being human, all understood in theory and almost nothing in practice. Everyone around it sees Sansa. This sees a body it must learn to use. Then a blue box appeared. [Classification: Void (approximation)] [Note: Interpretation incomplete. Please further understand humans.] So This watches. It studies their expressions, their habits, their lies, their love. It copies what makes them smile. It memorizes what makes them angry. It learns how a lady should behave, and how Sansa Stark is supposed to exist. If understanding humans requires becoming one, then This will play the role perfectly. Perhaps one day, everyone will believe it is Sansa. Perhaps one day, even This will. A Game of Thrones × Lord of the Mysteries fanfiction.

The village of Edenrock is old not grand, not poor, just old. Its people live close to the soil and closer still to each other’s secrets. They hold festivals for the changing fruit. They write poems in the bark of birch trees. And though the world outside has shifted grown louder, hungrier, more mechanical Edenrock remains untouched, or so its residents would like to believe. Then comes Nerin, a pale stranger with scholar’s hands and a satchel of half-scorched journals. He claims to be a traveling apprentice-scribe, assigned to copy the local stories and dialects. But his silences stretch a little too long, his gaze lingers a little too much on the half-buried stone obelisks, and his dreams seem too vivid for a man who sleeps so little. Still, no one pays him much mind. The Festival of Stonefruit is approaching, and there are tents to mend, bread to bake, and gossip to spread. The real story does not begin with Nerin. It begins with a toothless dog that keeps digging in the orchard. It begins with a little girl who draws dreams she should not remember. It begins with water that tastes faintly of ash, and a wind that carries words no one speaks anymore. Ashes in the Riverwind is not about saving the world. It is about noticing the slow rot in the walls before they fall. It is about people whose lives are so quiet, they barely hear themselves unraveling. Magic, if it exists, does not announce itself. It hums beneath the floorboards. Some things in Edenrock were never buried deep enough.
