March To The Capital
They deserve what happens to them. Ever since they enslaved us, ever since they shackle us underground to bring them their ore or chain above ground to harvest their grain. We suffered, while they fattened their bellies. No more, now we deserve justice. We will ravage through their countryside, we shall burn their homes, and slaughter their young. For now, our rebellion has begun. The time of my people's slavery ends with me for I will lead my people to greatness. The Cinari will do anything to stop me, with their ancient war machines and pathetic armies. But I will push them back and claim what is rightfully mine. We built their Empire with our blood and tears. It is time we take it back. When I was a slave, they called me M-24:6. But as a free man, they know me as Marak.

Burnout Reincarnation
Archmund Granavale was nine years old when he remembered his first life as a (former) "gifted kid". That world told him for years that he would grow up to do great things and change the world. Then he grew up, and none of that happened. In this new world, Omnio, he can't relive that. At first, he wants to use all of the useless knowledge and trivia - science fun facts, recipes, and self-help books - that a "gifted" kid absorbs to either revolutionize this pre-industrial fantasy world or achieve total freedom instead of being bound by the rules of the nobility. But that all changes once a Dungeon Storm opens a passage to the underworld in his home county, sparking an empire-wide gold rush for its magical gems. If he wants either a quiet life or a career at the forefront of industrialization, he has no choice but to navigate the complex social landscape of the military, the nobility, and the masters of magic. He'll take every advantage he can get - magic gems, independent wealth, connections and the status to make them - and the knowledge of a burned-out gifted kid. This time, he will change the world - or at very least the path of his life. A focus on discovering a world from the perspective of someone thrust into it -- scientifically, politically, magically. Updates 8-9 PM EST, 1500+ words, Monday-Friday.

Who will Arise?
Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.Complete
