Synopsis: A World in TurmoilFor centuries, supernaturals and mortals coexisted, forming an alliance to combat the looming threat known as the IMPERISHABLES. Dracula, patriarch of all vampires and the immortal realm, made the ultimate sacrifice, ushering in an era of peace that endured for five centuries. Yet, the echoes of conflict reverberated anew among the supernaturals, leading to a war that fractured their unity and power. Amidst this discord, factions emerged, dividing the supernaturals into colonies and clans, where the insidious allure of absolute power continued to sow corruption. Content Warning: A Tale of StrifeReaders delving into OMEGA should be prepared for chapters that vividly depict violence, touch upon themes of sexism, and include elements of LGBTQ representation.

Clarent Saga: Chronicles

Faenon | drama | Complete

Based on my work on Saga of the Jewels, I have been hired by an indie game developer to write the novel for their 'novel + turn-based battles' game on Steam. Of course, a 'novel + turn based battles' is a terrible idea for a game, which is why no other games like this exist, but hey, the developer is paying me. And if something's worth doing at all, it's worth doing as well as possible, so I am going to give this project my very best shot and try to make it as good as it can be. So if you read this, please give me feedback on the story to help me make it as good as it can be! Please note, for this story I have been given a pre-existent set of characters, character back-story sketches and a rough plot to work with. I also have to insert random battles into the narrative, have set characters appear in a certain order, and have the party fight fixed bosses in a certain order, all at fixed points! Please also note that this is a first draft. I will be editing and re-working this in the future and re-posting it. But I need helpful feedback, if anyone can give it. You can also find the game version of this on Steam by searching there for 'Clarent Saga: Chronicles'.

The Rite of Sanctuary

Spleen23 | action | Complete

Dozens, if not hundreds of worlds were destroyed or damaged by what amounted to a industrial accident on a higher level of existence. Many people and places however, were saved at the last instant and hastily slammed together into a makeshift world held together with magic and hope. The director was assigned to keep the whole thing going and stole the idea of a RPG driven system as a placeholder set of natural laws. One he is constantly having to apply ad hoc fixes and updates on the fly. The main character and the church he worked at end up being one of the places from modern earth that got saved. Possibly updating Saturday and Sunday if my schedule stays the same
