In the land of Shora, there are five clans which have their own magics, each pertaining to a single element of fire, water, wind, wood, and sky. But Rin Kumori is the last of a sixth clan, one that was massacred and is now believed extinct. Rin is a sixteen-year-old boy with one burning desire: revenge against the Sky clan's High Royals. Rin believes that the High Royals were responsible for the extinction of his clan, and the deaths in his family. He has been able to keep his identity a secret, and he has been waiting for an opportune moment to wreak his vengeance, and to kill the King and head of the Sky Clan, Jost Vergas. This chance has finally arrived. Rin volunteers to be part of a squad of elites, the Royal Guardians, to get closer to the Royal Family. But this journey may have unexpected consequences as Rin sinks ever deeper in an intricately woven web of lies that changed the history of Shora itself. How will he exact his revenge on someone with so much power and authority? How can he break the curse that has held the whole country captive? And will the girl he's falling for change him and his goal? Highest Rank: #48 in Adventure NOTE: The story begins with short chapters that are increasingly getting longer. Please bear with me, as it is all edited by me, and is constantly changing. NOTE: I have labelled the artwork that is mine, and written so in the Author's notes. All other artwork is from artists who have posted their artworks online. NOTE AGAIN: A map of Shora is provided in Chapter 30.

Who knew what would happen after stealing some bread from a street stall? Certainly not Nagan. Nothing out of the ordinary should have happened, considering stealing food to survive was the norm. But fate, destiny, karma, whatever you wanted to call it, had a funny way of showing mercy. Nagan didn't know what to think when a baby dragon dropped in front of him. Even stranger, it was there to deliver an invitation. Carvolier was calling to him, as was a larger-than-life destiny. Like father, like son, after all. Yet something darker seeped through the seams as his years in Carvolier went on. Only time knew what awaited him.

A NaNoWriMo LitRPG starring a videogame QA tester named Sam Nagai. Sam thought testing videogames would be a dream job until he got saddled with a ton of barely playable mobile games. The lack of fun in these games and small pay makes Sam typically reluctant whenever he gets a call for a new gig, but customers for his art commissions have been scarce and Sam needs all the money he can get. He finally gets a call for a new gig with potential bonus pay, but not much else is known about the game itself. From what he does know, it sounds sort of interesting. Virtual Reality? Dark gothic fantasy? Uber hard difficulty? Sam's all in for that. After all it's not real so there's no real danger... Expect a dark and scary atmosphere, nightmarish creatures, madness and despair, beautiful and desolate locales, leveling up, and epic battles. This one is for you fans of the souls-like genre and other dark fantasy games like Legacy of Kain and Onimusha! Please comment, critique and vote at your leisure! I love to hear your opinions! **Hell's Glitch in its original form. The last updates before my final draft.

Damien Vennar used to be a god. As a technomage, Damien had the power to create entire universes. Then, five hundred years ago, he gave it all up. He suspended the nanotechnology in his bloodstream and began to age--and eventually die--like anyone else. For centuries, Damien has lived among those who once worshiped him, his real identity fading into myth and legend. Hundreds of years later, when Ceril Bain finds Damien's old sword buried in his grandfather's garden, he is put on the fast-track to follow in Vennar's footsteps. Over the next six years, Ceril trains as a technomage aboard the Inkwell Sigil, a ship with the ability to travel between dimensions. Just as Ceril is preparing to undergo his Rites and finish his training, the Inkwell Sigil loses power. Stranded in space with no way back home, Ceril and four of his classmates are given their final assignment: go into uncharted territory, find a way back home, and bring back the one person who can fix the ship--Damien Vennar himself. While away, Ceril and his team find themselves in a predicament when they confuse an attempt at first contact with an attack and kill two of the world's winged inhabitants. They are shortly captured and imprisoned, and the only thing keeping them alive is their angel-like captors' belief they may be the subjects of an ancient prophecy about a group of magic-wielding messiahs. But that's impossible. Isn't it?
