After spending much time pondering what it truly meant to be a Pokémon Master, he understood that only a new journey could provide the answer he was seeking. Will our hero take this important step in his journey? (AmourShipping AshxSerena)

Harry Potter was Sorted into Slytherin after a crappy childhood. His brother Jim is believed to be the BWL. Think you know this story? Think again. Year Four starts on 9/1/20. NO romantic pairings prior to Fourth Year. Basically good Dumbledore and Weasleys. Limited bashing (mainly of James). Fanfiction.net URL: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11191235

Naruto was not a normal kid, that was clear to everyone who knew him. Being treated like an outcast from as far as he could remember made him often wonder how it's like to be normal. What if he found a way to experience the normal life even if it was not the way he expected? How would that change him?

Victor Sterling is the heir to a pharmaceutical empire, a student council president who runs his life with the precision of a military operation. His only escape from his father's crushing expectations is his chaotic apartment shared with two unlikely roommates: Chase Carter, a "playboy" whose charm is a fragile mask for his deep-seated insecurities, and Danny "Dot" Murphy, a spaced-out genius who communicates in "vibes" and fixes Wi-Fi by microwaving the router. Together, this trio navigates the absurdities of elite academia, where a simple canceled school day can spiral into a international incident with Latvian gamers, and a forgotten textbook can trigger a rooftop lockdown doomed by malfunctioning romance drones. Vic's carefully ordered world is perpetually at war with Dot's benevolent chaos and Chase's desperate attempts to stay cool, all while Vic nurses a forbidden crush on his academic rival, Ellie Bluehart-whose family is locked in a bitter corporate feud with his own. As they face pop quiz massacres, the birth of bizarre school cults, and inspections from Vic's intimidating father, the three roommates learn that friendship isn't about avoiding chaos, but learning to sail it. But with Dot's past still a mystery, their fathers' rivalry deepening, and a microwave that's always humming with the next disastrous idea, the only thing they can truly count on is that the chaos has only just begun.

This is the third in a series of interactive journals designed to help people grow personally, spiritually, and possibly even professionally. There is a daily message that contains a motivational quote, a Bible verse, a vocabulary word, and a message I write personally. Hopefully they're written and compiled in a way you find inspiring or motivational. But the key to what makes it work are the daily journaling questions. There are six questions at the end of every message. They stay the same, but you might find your answers to them change over time. They're simple questions, but living in a way that helps you improve your answers to them will change your life. I hope you decide to try it out, and if you do decide to try it out, I pray you won't be disappointed. Thanks, Jake.

Men turned themselves into living weapons. Each one, an instrument of unending war. In a fractured world ruled by benefits and bloodshed. Cain Roosevelt is nobody. His upbringing might be a cut above the rest, but that means nothing without personal strength. Men aren't chosen by prophecy or fate. They carve out a name through contracts, strategy, and the right tools. This is a world where power is bought, friendship comes with a price tag, and death is a profitable business. He's not here to be a hero. He's just here to make money. But as ancient cultivators stir, demonic legacies awaken, and even the old gods rise again. Cain starts to wonder. Can a man still profit when everyone's chasing the same prize?

One of the better stories I've done. It's still not great though. It's been described lovingly by some of the people I've shown it to as "Depressing" "Sad" and "Meh" which I have taken to be a good sign. Compared to my other stuff. This is actually a standalone excerpt of a novel I'm working on (I.E. abandoned) of the same name about some kids that are trying to fix up a plane because of reasons. Ashley, the main character of the short story here, is one them. It's pretty much her backstory actually and why she in particular wants to fix the plane. This was actually inspired by a song "Down" by Jason Walker, which is pretty good (but it is a sad song. I think there's a theme here). Oh and a visual novel called If My Heart Had Wings (yes, I'm a weeb) which has a similar theme (but less sad). So... Yeah. Enjoy, I guess.

Something stirs in the Feasting Forest. Sackmen skulk through ruin and shadow. Parties must be attended and gods must be thwarted. Imp and Ogre gather allies and take their carriage deep into a lawless corner of the Middlings. Can they stop the Man-God? Will the Grovekeeper plant his wicked, wailing trees once more? There's space in the carriage if you want to find out. A Middling Tale follows the adventures of Imp and Ogre. They travel the Middlings in a magical carriage, doing their best to make things better. Don't call them Wanderers! That would be illegal and get them strung up by the Guarantors. No, no, they just like to travel. It's not their fault that so many people need so much help. Imp has lived quite a life and has only barely left her teen years behind her. She hides a revolver under her gray-blue longcoat, itself containing deep pockets full of magic and mechanism. She is no mage but she does like a good advantage or two. Ogre is a monster in a land he used to know so well. He drives the carriage, sitting atop the vehicle in a somber cloak with a deep hood. Tongues of blue flame rise from the dark holes on his otherwise featureless face. Old scars mingle with patching and discolorations on his alabaster skin, thick as a statue yet almost warm to the touch. They travel through the Middlings, the Land of Crossroads; a loose alliance of independent polities wedged between larger nations, the sea and other wild places. Monarchies and oligarchies share borders with communes and republics. Millions of people live, love and laugh in their own ways. The Accords, and the Guarantors thereof, have the Middlings together for hundreds of years. The ties that bind are unraveling. The final Age of Wanderers has dawned. This is the first book in a series. The story is "complete" but I'm still fine-tuning the manuscript. Comments are always welcome.

This is not so much of a story as it is me writing down my thoughts as I try to discover who I am and what I'm supposed to be doing here in this world.
