I never believed in magic and miracles; and at first I didn't think I should, since I'm a scientist/detective and stuff- But, I guess life loves to give me lemons, because to my own surprise, I got sent to the city of Qyshin. The very city known for their advanced technology, their aesthetic viewpoints and most importantly... the existence of magic? What? Hmph, I don't know, at least that's what the locals tend to call it, while I absolutely know better; there had to be a good explanation for this to exist and sure enough, I found it. And to be honest, the whole discovery was what started the story in the first place. As time passed, truths started to rise from the depths of darkness, scratching the surface slowly and, if not careful, painfully. Start - 1/29/2025 Courtesy of CyberneticWanderer, Copyright © 2025

When Finn is kidnapped by a creature known only through folk tales, Donal receives help from unlikely sources-an old family friend and their landlord's daughter-to save him.

Walking Without Leading is a quiet, grounded sequel to Late Son, following Steven after the world has already decided what kind of man it thinks he is. On the road, Steven encounters a young group of travellers early in their journey - capable, confident, and certain that momentum itself is a form of virtue. He does not take charge. He does not offer direction. Instead, he walks alongside them, saying little, watching closely, and intervening only when harm becomes unavoidable. As the miles pass, the group begins to realise that influence does not always announce itself, and that being seen can be as powerful as being led. This is a story about restraint, responsibility, and the uneasy space between action and consequence. Walking Without Leading explores what happens when problems are not solved cleanly, when heroism is measured in what lasts rather than what impresses, and when growth comes not from answers given - but from questions left open.

As the gears of fate move like clockwork, who can turn back time? Even if it could be done, this would only postpone the inevitable. Destiny is said to drive everyone forward, but faith as small as a mustard seed can throw a clog in the machine. And when a young woman's future seems sealed, she'll prove that to him.

The powerful have bottled it, priced it, and called it holy. Every flicker, every breath, must be paid for in Lumen.

With that, he turned and marched toward the door - his colleagues followed him close behind. Lucy could hear their footsteps fade away and relief washed over her. As soon as it did, the lanterns of the chandelier rattled softly - the Lumen danced for a split second, as if celebrating. But that was enough. The agents abruptly turned around, having seen the shadows on the floor - slowly, they aimed their emotionless gazes skyward, staring at the chandelier. "Tell me, mister Briar", the captain spoke, his eyes still fixated upon the lamps, "Does your Lumen always malfunction like this?" The Lantern Man tapped with a finger on the desk. "As a matter of fact, sir - yes, it does. It's still an old batch: it flickers all the time. I ought to get it replaced soon".

A century ago, the Continent of Lu'aria disappeared from the world of An'naru. The many fantasy peoples who interacted with Lu'aria for many generations were stunned at the disappearance of an entire continent of lands and people alike. It was impossible to uplift an entire continent, and why? Yet the people of An'naru knew the answer as soon as word spread throughout its many realms. The answer was simple. An'naru was a dying world, and its inhabitants have long since resigned to their fates. But the question remains, where did Lu'aria go? In the world of Peros, the many nations are divided by ideology, in this world where many empires were stuck in a frozen conflict where all feared mutual destruction. It felt like nothing would tip the balance of power. Until a great tsunami engulfed all the coastlines of nations bordering Peros largest ocean. When people were sent to find the cause, the result shocked the entire world. A mysterious continent appeared in the center of the Peros largest ocean. The international community known as the Unified Coalition, declared the new continent as the "Special Land Zone" or SLZ. To establish a common understanding that any activity that will be conducted on the SLZ will be for the betterment of Peros, but the more likely reason was to deter other nations from staking a claim and polluting this new fragile environment. However, reality and the games of powers always turn ideas into violence, as great fortunes attract unwanted attention, and as the tensions of war boil in the world of Peros, all eyes lay on the Special Land Zone, which could make or break this fragile world. A bizarre war has brought two scar ridden souls together. Disclaimer: the Book cover of this work was made with AI tool.
