This is an early version of what became siVisPhases, there is no need to read this in order to understand that story--please discard Reader Beware: Original!Urban Fantasy, Survival Thriller, Harsh Progression. Constant Struggle, not Weak-to-Strong. This is a reality eerily like our own. This is a reality that's complicated further by fantasy. Contemporary times have finally ended, and the Phantasia era has begun. Due to the cosmic, reality warping Shift Noumena, life as we once knew it is now defined by things we once thought were fantastical. Instead of monsters, we have the Nulgarrt. Instead of ancient, hidden cities--Terminsys Cities are what's left after celestial space waves broke reality, once people's home towns. And what they got instead of magic? siVis. Enlightenment that reveals far too much, all at once. Forced to figure out a way to survive against what-once-was fictional tropes and plots. Living during confusing, turbulent when not only life never made sense, but is falling apart. Growing through out all of this, and growing to become just as weird. This is the story of those youths, not another heroic tale.

Li Yun grew up with a system that gave him useless gifts. He wanted a reward that could prove the existence of the system, but ended up with abstract gifts like culture. Without physical proof, he was stuck wondering whether his mind was truly sane, all the while dealing with the reality of life. How will the "useless" system help Li Yun navigate medical school, hospital politics, criminal cases, treasure hunting, farming, and cooking? Author's Note: This is a slice-of-life novel about a doctor with a mission-type system. It's written as a faux modern Chinese novel, so there are many 1-off characters and episodic mini-arcs. The tone of the story is very different after the childhood arc and jumpy as it chronicles Li Yun's life. Expect a lot of time skips. This novel is complete. See webnovel for OG, or first draft. See scribblehub for my other authorized post. If you enjoy the novel and would like to contribute to the author's coffee addiction: https://ko-fi.com/chocomug. Amazon for Book 1 & 2 Copyrights of the novel and cover are owned by Chocomug. Novel is free to read and download for personal use, such as offline reading, only.

Anna Lawrence is a quiet girl who'd rather sit and write poetry than bustle about with her peers. After an incident resulting in a panic attack and a trip to the hospital, Anna's foster mother sends her to stay with her aunt and uncle for the summer. Upon arriving in the small mountain town of Glenwood, Anna finds herself caught in the machinations of another world on the other side of the fog: warring witches, animal-headed skypirates, and the boldest, bravest, most interesting girl Anna has ever met. THROUGH MIST, VEIL, AND SUMMER is my homage to Studio Ghibli films. It's a fantasy romance with a dash of adventure and a sprinkling of self-contemplation. It's a story that moves a little slower, a little quieter. It is my fourth novel, written between October 1, 2017 and January 6, 2019.

Finally! I was finally free of all the drama surrounding Ethan and his harem from last year. Now, I just wanted to enjoy my new high schoolLakewood Academyand avoid the shenanigans of Ethan and his new group of infatuated girls. This proved difficult, however, when one of the girls approached me with a request that I was forced to accept. Damn my best friend and his meddling. Anyway, such a simple request somehow ended up with me being suckered into helping all of them grow closer to Ethan. It seemed like no matter what I did, I was destined to remain his sidekick. I guess my life was going to be a lot livelier than I imagined. Or annoying. Definitely one of the two.
