Jasper Toledo is a college student who died and was reincarnated into his favorite video game. Calloway Calphius is an elf hero turned deity after he dissappeared from the City of Perils for 250 years. After 250 years an upstart guildmaster named Cal is instrumental in turning the City of Perils into the new Kingdom of Calphian.  All three of these are the same man.

Shayley O'heira Van Dravenkin is the warrior princess of the City of Perils.  She developed the guild fortress known as the City of Perils into the Utopian City-state, known simply as the Pearly City, while waiting 250 for the return of her Fiance Calloway Calphius. With the aid of the Guildmaster Cal, she was able to reunite with the man she loved and grow the Pearly City into the Kingdom of Calphian. 

Ophelia is the cursed child of the Pearly City. She was orphaned and lost all hope for the future since she can only foresee bad things. A curious elf named Cal saved her from the streets and from herself. After her adoption she discovers that she is not cursed, she is an Oracle and becomes the mascot of the her Papa's new establishment an Adventurer's guild... and its attached maid cafe. 

Seamus is an Assassin turned Cabin boy and becomes apprenticed to Guildmaster Cal. But can the stiff teenager withstand the onslaught of teasing from his new master long enough to become a decent... whatever his master is training him to be?

Join our cast in the the second installment of the Pearly Tales saga as they prepare for war, fight shadows, deal with relationships, beat the crap out of doors, and shape the new world with the power of friendship... 

...okay I lied it's through piracy...
...and hijinks... 
...and pirate hijinks. 

Good luck, and let me be the first to Welcome you into Calphian the Kingdom of Perils.

Just as a note, this is the second volume in the Pearly Tales series. You can just pick this up and have a good time, but you'll miss a lot if you skip the first volume.

************************************************************************************** An outcast rogue must break a curse put on his fate, or die on his nineteenth birthday. To survive, he'll need the sword of a maiden, the aid of an immortal, and the power of forbidden magic that could cost him the only girl he ever loved. ************************************************************************************ *** THE JACK OF SOULS won a Silver IPPY this year! *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the PNWA Competition in Fantasy! * *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the Southwest Writers competition! * *** A "Featured Book" on Wattpad! * *** Now a "Staff Pick" on Kickstarter! * *** Available on Amazon in paper, hardback, and ebook ! * *** My contract with Kindle Select won't allow me to post more than 3 chapters here, but... *** Sign up for my newsletter on stephenmerlino.com for alerts when it's free on Amazon! * MY INSPIRATION I wrote this out of pure love of trickster rogues; I love the wit over brawn motif -- Odysseus over Achilles, Raven over Eagle -- so I like to play with it in my stories. In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.

PROLOGUE: Thanks, I Hate Being Welcomed To The Villain's World. (COMPLETED) ______________________________________ The misadventures of Prefect Kat, the 19-year-old ace lesbian isekai'd into a school full of problematic pretty-boys, armed with only her lack of f*cks and knowledge from years of mental health treatment. Will she survive? Will she ever get home? Will this damn cat ever stop causing problems? How long will it be until she even SEES another woman? Please, she is so gay and so, so lonely. ______________________________________ Writing the events of Twisted Wonderland as if I (or at least a version of myself that would actually progress the story) were the main character. CW: Swears (I swear like a sailor), descriptions of violence (describing in-game events; my style gets pretty prosey.) A lot of artistic license/minor worldbuilding/details/etc. Probably no ships; definitely no selfships or MC/OC+Canon ships or whatever you wanna call it. If there are ships, they're gonna be more subtext than anything else. If I go too OOC with ur faves I'm sorry, I'm doing my best but I'm dumb and mostly just try to get the 'vibes' right for each character; also might comedically exaggerate some traits for Shenanigans purposes sometimes. I own nothing besides myself; all characters/settings belong to Disney and Yana Toboso, etc., etc., pls no class-action lawsuit I have no money
"Almost Green" by NUmaker
34 parts Complete
Strands of your mind cling together like web to a slippery leaf bathed in the morning dew. You have seen both heaven and hell, witnessed the atrocities of war firsthand, and imagined a better life in the deepest, most intimate corners of your dreaming spirit. The wishes for peace and certainty you have once so desperately longed for, now lay trampled underneath the might of your mind's vivid horrors. What was once so bright and lively, now cowers in fear, clinging to gone memories like a shipwreck survivor to some lowly piece of driftwood. From the depths of hell, you arrived victorious, grasping the laurel wreath high above your head. Unrecognizable, with your empty eyes telling a story of innocence brutally taken away from the child curling in shame in the depths of your empty soul. Almost green you are, curly head, having grown up with a rifle by your bedside table, never knowing peace and quiet. Out of the pan that was the Kazdel Civil War and into the scorching flames of Lungmen, where life flows by on its own accord, here, you must learn to live once more. So put on your best facade, Let the reuniting trumpets ring a wild, And allow the city to swallow you whole. Here we are, a continuation of my previous work "Goodbye Curly Head", which sprawled into quite the epistle (but it wasn't really a letter, it's just long :P). Summarized in the most basic way possible, it's a story about a twenty-year-old Kazdel Civil War veteran who goes to Lungmen and has some troubles acclimating to the steady life presented before him. Sprinkle in a too-good-to-be-true offer and a freshly established logistics company, and you get Andy trying to make it big for as long as his deteriorating mental state lets him. I'd say it works as a standalone story for anyone who doesn't want to bother reading the first part. For now, at least. As always, please, pwwease leave a comment, positive, negative, I LOOOVE reading and replying to comments!!
Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM) by avaseofpeonies
47 parts Complete Mature
A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.

The second story in The Fight or Flight Series. Calia is now living with Drake, and she goes back to her high school. She meets new friends and enemies, and some people she just can't get out of her head. She hasn't been back to Tanyela in a while, and her friends come for her. She thinks about her mother and her lost sibling, and how she'll get to them. Will she ever meet them, or is there something she doesn't know? Will she stay in the human world or in Tanyela? Will she find the one she truly loves? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Second story, if you haven't read Love, War, and Flight yet, I suggest it, not because of reads but because some things won't make sense unless you read it. Yes, this is my shortest story, but it's short quality that doesn't fall apart in confusion. Finished third wave of editing, so it should be done! :D

"No Life 'Til Leather" by NUmaker
28 parts Ongoing
Sometimes shit happens. Hey, it's not always your day, it's alright. One moment you're riding high, soaring above these mud-riddled plains with the king of mercs by your side, another, you're running far away from the crater he blew himself up in. You've really outdone yourself this time. W's dead, there's angel blood on your fingers and something itches to grow out of your skull. To pierce those gray curls of yours and bask in the twin moon's soft gaze. Something brewing deep within, eager to dim that halo forever and shatter your wings. A piece of you that's always been there, always hiding and growling, waiting for its moment to shine. So, hit the lights, Andy. Give it some stage time. Let yourself live a little. Throw out that Lateran jacket, put on some leather. Grow a pair of horns, befriend a fiend. Forget Laterano, forget Lungmen. Kazdel is your new home. And your new home's where you rightfully belong, you little rascal. Hellooooo people !! Here we are, a SPIN-OFF story of my "Curly Head" series, in which Andy actually went on that one job he previously ditched and got himself into quite a predicament. In this one, I'll turn the angst-meter down, I promise. W and Andy, happy times. :D This is, of course, perfectly fine as a standalone work, I think, but if you're new and wanna brush up on the lore then you can do just that! Series starts with "Goodbye Curly Head", rest is pretty straightforward. Summed up: thirteen year old boy from Laterano ships himself off to fight in the Kazdel Civil War for peacekeeping reasons, situation turns to shit at the end of his tour, forced to stay in Kazdel and make money as a merc, meets up the first W's crew at the age of sixteen, circus-slapstick follows. Ps: I'm not giving up on "Almost Green", only taking a small break and also delivering some much needed fluff-ish stuff. Tell me you thoughts in the comments, I tend to reply to every single one of them and love reading through them all! Have fun!

It's been a year since Pearl's arrival in StoryBrooke. Ever since the curse was placed upon, Pearl has been living a lie. Thinking like everyone else, they were just stories, fairy tales, a myth. Even though how much she believed in them, it would just still remain in the pictures. She faced reality, she was transfer student from Virginia. Pearl lived in New York with Emma and Henry Swan, for a year. She's made friends, explored and lived like everyone else. In this year, she's grown a very close connection with Henry and Emma. They're like her second family, she loves Henry as a brother. With her long red hair and pale skin, she's just like every other sixteen year old teenager. Her friends Erica, Lucas, Spencer and Jessica were her gang, her squad. They are what you call 'trustful', but really that all changed when something scarred Pearl. She was with her friends but suddenly they all turned into flying monkeys, like the one you'd see in The Wizard's of Oz. Right from that moment, she knew something. She thought all of this was true, but it's not, all she needs to know in the truth. ---------------------------------------------------------- #118 in The Evil Queen This is a sequel to my first FanFiction 'I'm Not Yours, Peter Pan'. I don't own any of the characters. I only own the character Pearl. Everything else doesn't belong to me. Also everything is going to be in Pearl's POV, I will change it here and there but most of the time, it'll be in Pearl's POV.
