One fateful day, I was sailing alongside the carrier Queen Elizabeth. I disappear into a mysterious fog and emerge on the other side to see that I somehow gone to a different past. What's worse is that I must try to hide my abilities and past behind, or die (A/N: This is a second run series as an accident occurred earlier on 11/25/2024 where I accidentally deleted 21 published parts and 1 draft. I do apologize and will redo the story from the beginning, I will make some things different to make it a tiny bit different from it but will be original as possible.)

Azur Lane: The Adventure of the MS München
Second story. A freighter of the Hapag-Lloyd sinks due a heavy storm. No survivors and the shipwreck has yet to be found. Follow the Merchant shipgirl on it's new adventure through Azur Lane, transporting Cargo, withstanding dangerous and treacherous waters, full of mines, submarines, and the occasional monster wave, just waiting to claim another victim and tally up the sinking tonnage in the Atlantic/Pacific.

Brass Skies Vol. 1: The Battle of Chesapeake
"Declaring our Independence From the British One Airship at a Time." The colonies tried to protest once. They were brutally and ruthlessly crushed by the Red Coats. Now, no one thinks of rebelling. Not when the British have forts all throughout the colonies. Not when the British navy controls the skies, their airships looking down over the entire world like hawks poised to strike. Not when the price isn't just death, but the deaths of potentially everyone you love. But in a world ruled by fear and power hope comes from the unlikeliest of sources. There are always those that are pushed to far, who have lost a little too much, or who simply need the freedom of the skies. Those are the pirates; a collection of rebels, thrill-seekers, victims, and criminals whose motives are as diverse as their personalities but who are all headed towards a single flashpoint that will change everything. These are some of their stories.Complete
