    Never thought I'd join Blue Spirits, but you know what they say, when stars align, they shit on you. When I was a kid, life was all about my sister. Everyone I'd ever known growing up had some poik spots somewhere. It was normal. Then these freak kids were born who never got em. Clean, and my sister was one of them. Those kids started to disappear. It had to be the Supremacy, and since they had been coming around more often, I felt like I had to guard my sister with my life. No one ever really questioned Supra around here. They just kind of let them do whatever. But there was one kid who wanted to make a difference, and everyone knew him by his nickname like a Super Hero. Rebellion. The Kid Crusader wanted to be behind it all, and for whatever reason, he wanted me to join him. Blue Spirits? Well that comes later. Just let me tell my story, for cryin' out loud. This is my story. It's kind of slow, but it's still mine nonetheless. Buckle up, kids. -Alex This book takes place within the Inherited universe *See also Locus: The Age of Spring, for another book/series in the same universe that has mention of this character. It is not necessary to read it to enjoy this book. Content Warning: This book will include violent scenes, death, and deteriorating mental psychosis.

    Morlenfal was built on magic. Now something beneath it is learning how to wear it. Beneath the benevolence of Morlenfal's breathtaking architecture lies something hidden in plain sight.

A well known, and jaded adventurer finds himself in the midst of the city's danger and potential catastrophe. Dark fantasy laced with psychological horror and creeping dread, Tales from the City of Drayke: The Pale Crown is the opening act of a trilogy about identity, grief, and the terrifying cost of survival. ***NSFW: Violent Themes***

    優しくなりたい,正しくなりたい,綺麗になりたいあなたみたいに...... ⸺米津玄師 "優しい人" This is an exotic friendship, an amusing yet heartbreaking comedy of two Persian pusses, who assumed the great duty of preserving the life of a colony of vagrant cats in Rouen, Paris. The storiette; however, was rendered in a comprehensive depiction from the reasoning with respect to the foundation of their relationship to the expected expiration due to a mournful and diabolical accident. The idea of "involution" had invited great effort of writing to explain the cause of the buskin of Monsieur Andromedus and his futility of struggle. The raconteur spoke of a fatal veterinary nature that eviscerated most greatly the apparent "hope" of life. The feature could be found astoundingly comparable to human society.
