"If I'm meant to die here, so be it. I have no quarrel with the devil nor God."

Aelius always wished for a different life, one with no expectations, no parents and coaches pressuring him everyday and micro managing his every move. He wished to be free and regular and boring. When Aelius's plans to fly the coup turn south, he finds himself as exactly what he always wished he was: nobody. Alone, stranded and unable to return to the decadent life he's always known (though despised), the once prodigy is lost with no direction and yearning for the one thing he'd always hated. Who knew the grass on the other side was just an illusion.

Can a Bored Healer Become a GOD!? Vol.1 by FrancescoGiannicolo
12 parts Complete
Tedius Birdian, 15 years old, is the typical boy who could change the world... but he really doesn't want to. Born with an incredible talent for healing, he has the power to cure the most severe wounds and save lives, a gift that makes him sought after by anyone in need of help. But Tedius couldn't care less. His only ambition? To live a quiet, anonymous life, with no magic, no monsters, no dungeons. His secret dream is to reincarnate in a parallel world where there are neither heroes nor epic adventures: a boring world, where he can work as a government clerk in a peaceful office, 9 to 5, with no worries. The problem, however, is that fate has other plans for him. Despite his total indifference to heroism, Tedius cannot help but answer the calls of those in need of a healer. His curse is that, every time he tries to escape the chaos of adventures, something or someone pulls him back into the vortex. His ability is so rare and precious that no matter how much he tries to escape his role, people continuously seek him out, forcing him to do what he'd rather avoid. Tedius is not a hero: he's a tired boy, who doesn't wish to be anyone's savior. Every time he uses his powers, he does so with resignation, just trying to survive the day. And while others see him as a young prodigy, he only dreams of living an ordinary life, free from dangers and responsibilities. A desk job, maybe in a small government department, is his vision of happiness. But the reality is quite different. No matter how much he tries to run away: his destiny always takes him further from the dream of a peaceful life and forces him to face a world he didn't choose. And so, Tedius keeps hoping for a miracle: an opportunity to reincarnate into a reality where magic is just a distant memory.

Cursed Life (Short Story)

9 parts Complete

I've spent 300 years walking this Earth. Forever cursed to wait for a love that won't come. So, when she finally comes and looks at you with eyes full of hatred, you can't help but glare back. *** After cheating on his former fiancee, Janus was cursed to walk the earth, never settling, until he found one woman who could love him as much as he did them. So much so, that they would stay together eternally. He knew he had his looks going for him, but none of the millions of relationships he tried had worked out. Until one snowy easter night, in a brief conversation, he met her. After 300 years, he finally found a woman he could love so intensely, the curse would break. But he soon realised a terrible problem: that woman, with all her incredible wisdom, was not only blind but also hated him. Rated PG-13 for dark mental themes.
