[CURRENTLY ON HIATUS] Characters. They are meaningful in imagination yet trivial in reality, merely thriving in the whimsical fancies of our dreams. After all, characters live only in stories, don't they? But what if characters in books really do exist elsewhere? What if they materialize in another world-possessing their own wills, interacting with each other, and even to survive...killing each other? In the midst of chaotic confusion, a boy wakes up in a place called the Tower, learning that he is character just like any other. To survive and climb up, he must fight, he must kill. But as he grows, as he faces betrayal, as he learns to live and love and hate, he begins uncovering a secret of the Tower. A dangerous secret. Highest Rank: #214 in Fantasy

A Collection of Short Stories- This book will encompass all my poems, short stories, flash fictions, and drabbles. I will be experimenting with different styles and ideas. Thus, I am aiming for more creativity than writing mechanics. I hope you enjoy! Note- If you haven't already read my main story yet (The Tower's Secret), please put it a priority over this book, for I will need the most feedback there. Have a nice read :)

[AMBYS WINNER 2024] Mutilated, dejected and stained by the blood of his loved ones, Lucius Cromwell, a precocious and naïve child of high society, strikes a deal with an unhallowed Scourge of 'The Waste' in order to get his life back, blissfully ignorant that he'll consequently find his humanity on the line. *** A disturbing voice has been tormenting Lucius' mind for the longest time. Disregarding its sinister way of suggesting revenge on people who hurt him as mere thoughts he goes about his day, doing his best to live up to his superficial parents' standards and following the ideals of his Archon of worship. Life is lacklustre, but hardly worth causing a scene over. When a life altering event renders Lucius struggling not to die on the streets however things turn grim very fast, and in an act of desperation Lucius casts his beliefs aside, promising his soul to be devoured by The Waste at the time of his death with the promise of power in return. It doesn't take long for Lucius to realize that even the smallest of favors promised to him come with a catch, and being forced to do the Scourge of The Waste's wicked bidding while watching loved one after loved one disappear from his life Lucius has to wonder if a lifetime of power was really worth an eternity of suffering. This is the first installment of the "The Meaning Of Eternity" series. [Word count: 108 000]
