Synopsis:
Johan poured years of effort to become a strong Hunter, sacrificing his youth and even university—only to end up working in a Hunter Mart, unawakened.
Until a freak accident awakens his class.
Tower Farmer.
Not a combat role. Not a legend-in-the-making. Just irony.
A class meant...
Claire sprinted down the road, clutching the treasure tight against her chest while gasping for air.
It was a pity that her rank was only 1 star. If she had even a little more strength, she would have escaped long ago and hidden somewhere safe with the treasure in hand.
After darting through...
Threadmarks: Chapter 1: The Demon who slashed at Heavens.
The whole of the Nine Heavens watched with bated breath as the Ten Great Sects closed in around the Demon King of Obsession.
“Put down your sword and surrender, you vile wretch,” someone barked.
My little sword won’t stand up in this situation either, I’m not an exhibitionist…maybe.
“This is...
I die before I realize I'm dying.
No drama. No slow fade. Just pain—searing, absolute—and the taste of iron on my tongue.
The car came out of nowhere. Headlights, a flash of movement, a woman's scream. Then the world shattered. My body folded wrong, bones breaking in ways they shouldn't, and I...

Eleven Years since Black Christmas
Emrys Arthur Calhoun was eleven years old when he tore the arm off of Jeffrey Miller.
He didn't mean to do it. Jeffrey had been playing football with his friends, and he'd been running past the old oak tree Emrys was reading My Side of the Mountain...
The Tower stood like a silent sentinel at the edge of the world, its spires piercing the eternal twilight that blanketed the land. The winds screamed as they twisted around its jagged peaks, carrying shards of ice that glittered like broken stars. Inside, the throne room was a cavern of frost...
Yo yo yo!
So, I read this novel called "New Life As A Max Level Archmage" by ArcaneCadence recently, and it has filled my head with thoughts.
Truth be told, the whole 'isekai into video game character in the future of the game world' trope (is there a shorthand for that?) might just be my...
Isabella Martinez wasn’t anyone special. She worked night shifts as a research assistant for the North American Astronomical Survey, stationed at their newly commissioned deep space observatory tucked into the desert hills of northern Arizona. It was an isolated, dust-choked facility with more...

Threadmarks: Chapter 1: Remember When We Used to Get Along?
In a dark, musty cave of my own making, I collapsed in my gaming chair and wished that I could mute the shouting voices in my headset.
“Shut up. You’ve got no idea what you’re talking about, you cheap hooker,” said a tanned, blonde girl with fox ears in a gaudy parody of a school uniform...
Hey everyone, and welcome to Strength: 0.4 (I'm Working On It)!
Before we dive into the story, a quick and very important note.
I have a massive, epic-scale story planned for Aldric. We're talking multiple continents, huge power progression, kingdom building, the whole nine yards. This isn't a...
Chapter 1: Solstice
It all began with her death.
The orphanage's rusted bells tolled a mournful clang, a sound that tore through the village, sharp as broken glass. Aksel hardly flinched anymore, though the other children rushed toward the orphanage fence, eager for any glimpse of a passing...
I reach pushup eighty and drop flat. Sweat splashes on rough cement. Cedric walks by my bars, the light above him buzzing.
"Hey, Charles. Still want a book? Something to pass the time?" He waves an old paperback.
I sit on my knees. "Pass the time? That is my whole life now. Slide it in...
There are many sounds in the haze.
Though now the sounds will stop so that the lights may return.
It has been four hours since her life ended. It is some seventy-two hours before her life should end, unbathed in the red solutions running through a mech's arteries.
Her body crushed in the...
Darkness. It was all that I could see when I woke up, if you can call it that. All I know for sure is that I died and that this void has become my home, so to speak. I’m not entirely sure how long it has been, but to pass the time and stay somewhat sane, I’ve been going over the details of my...
“-Damnit!”
I hiss as I stumble, nearly rolling my ankle as what I thought was soft earth revealed itself to be a ledge. I only barely manage to catch myself, but still fall into the undergrowth. A thick layer of leaves and muck and lord knows what else covered the forest floor, still slightly...
Innocence Lost - Oneshot
Part One: Carving Swans
I commissioned the artwork by Jitobeans.
The cries of civilians, both Outer Colonist and Alien, sounded from the burning city, as he and his squad fired into the crowds, sparing no one, man, woman, or child.
War was a game, a game with...
Threadmarks: Chapter 1: The Arrival: Fractured Realities
The dull hum of the engine vibrated through the old sedan as Red drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. His phone screen lit up in the passenger seat, displaying another message from Jake. "Yo, Red, are you coming or what? We're wasted, man. Touka is here; don't you want to see her?"
Red...
I couldn't move, my body felt numb and I wasn't sure if it could even physically move anymore. I remembered very clearly what had happened.
As I was reading a novel on my way home from school, I heard screams.
I was jolted to attention and tried to find the reason behind the screams, and I saw...
