First off, this is my 2nd attempt at a story but my foundation for this one is much better than the 1st already and I see this going much further and so far it's coming together much faster and easier.
So please excuse me if things are not up to publishing standards. Also, I tend to confuse your, you're and so on so sorry to people that triggers ahead of time. I started using Grammarly to help me and it's working wonders.
The First Magician follows the story of 15-year-old Alex in a post-apocalyptic RPG-ish world in the near future. Earth was transformed, monsters appeared and people began being able to use Ki but could not figure out how to use magic.
Alex ends up becoming the first human able to use magic through a series of events and sets in motion events that will change the very future of the human race. He will be somewhat OP simply because he is the only human (at least to start, who knows about later?) who is able to use mana.
"Status screens" do not exist in the traditional sense (can only see details while sleeping and visiting your soul) and many of the RPG mechanics are reduced heavily or removed.
I am doing this to relieve stress and for fun so I will release chapters when I can. So far though I've managed to keep up with 2 most days.
CONTENT WARNINGS: There will be some light language but it won't be insane. I might have some gore later on but am unsure and the same for the sexual content.
COVER ART: Yes it is from the anime Log Horizon. It is a good representation of what earth looks like despite it not being many years in the future.

BY THE WAY: I started writing on Royal Road originally and decided to branch to other sites, so that is why there is going to be a mass upload at first to catch up.

AKT: First Draft (Discontinued)
The first draft of A Kiflo Tale, a Fantasy book I've been trying to write for some time. I've since decided that I want to heavily outline my book, and also change its perspective, this draft of the story is both unfinished, and written from first person. I'm only really keeping it for notes and references, but I also want there to be history stamps for some of the first written work I did. Here the work is raw, the words written, since I was 15, from now (17, in 2018). Everyone has a poor first book, true, and even though I know AKT isn't going to be the greatest, I'm writing it for myself, and I want it to personally reflect what I want to read. Classic Fantasy following Arilyn Larkir, she is a student of the ancient, though often considered dark and cursed, art of Kiflo. Kiflo, is a form of natural magic which manipulates elements of the world, giving its user powers, but powers which must be contained, or the consequences could be fatal. AKT is heavily influenced by the Witcher Series (particularly the games), DnD (Dungeons and Dragons) and is my first real attempt at long form, high fantasy narrative. The universe I plan to expand in general, as I like my short stories and stuff to link to the world I've built.Complete
oh noes
my first book (feedback appreciated, may or may not be implemented after story ends) filled with random shit (no horny) THE ITALICS DIDNT CARRY OVER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (neither did most the formatting, but those are the struggles of a google docs writer I guess ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌ Read order = publish order Publish times (story is now on indefinite hiatus) Chapters (1 - 5 months, 4k - 5k words) Dreams (3 days - 2 months, about 1.5k words) Journals (2 weeks - 3 months, about 3k words) Story summary stuff idk The MC is a boy who wakes up one day and doesn't remember anything yippee From there he starts to travel through a world, (somewhat) torn apart by disaster and looks through his home place for any clues What does he find on the way? (I don't know)Complete
Shapeless Hero
Identity crisis? What's that? ---- An earthling's soul was born into an incompatible, human body. Their muscles misbehaved, their skin and body felt like a rigid shell, and their weak constitution left little options for any activities outside of paperwork, books and anything on a screen at home. Then the divine beings tried to correct the mistake and removed the mismatched soul from its unfitting body, slinging it to a distant world with a new body to control. The human flesh-prison replaced with the unlimited options of a shapeshifter, the soul has now a magic-filled world to explore. Grow fur for a mountain hike, grow gills and fins for a deep dive. It's time to catch up on decades worth of missed travels and activities. But who wants to deal with the flesh-craving predators called shapeshifters? Another global purge could start, if the freshly transferred soul shows its abilities too much. ---- The rankings are a mystery to me - especially after this story made it to No. 1 under the shapeshifter tag (and others). Welcome to fantasy amateur hours! This is my first time writing that kind of novel. Hopefully there's a bit of improvement along the way. Feel free to tell me what works or not! Occasionally drowning in irl-work, so chapters will be published semi-regularly, whenever I find some time to write. (Usually updated at least once per week.) If it wasn't obvious already: Cover art made by yours truly.
Shifters
Imagine awakening with amnesia. Most would lose their mind and our amnesiac is no different. Though he handles it better than most, his curiosity slowly pulls him into a magical adventure filled with danger, death and sometimes loss on an unimaginable scale all in order to regain what he's lost. Will he finally recover his memories and gain the peace of mind he so desperately needs or will its revelations pull him even further into the abyss..... Feel Free to comment. Do keep in mind these are all mere first drafts!Complete
