It is the year 1144 After Creation in the young magical world of Eternia. About a hundred years ago a group of legendary heroes, the Sentinels of Eternia, defeated a most perilous evil. Some of them are now missing and most have scattered, serving the realm in their own ways. Anya Starshard is a young highborn girl of this world, and she has a dream - a dream to become an adventurer, like the ones she has read about. There is a small problem, though: she is an absolute coward. Luckily, a series of chance encounters gives her the means necessary to work toward her goal.

Love, Lies and Loid's Daughter
Love, Lies and Loid's Daughter: Between missions and math class, romance was never part of the plan. Twelve-year-old Anya Forger had two goals: become an Imperial Scholar and win the heart of her elegant nemesis, Damian Desmond. Easy, right? Except she's a telepath with zero impulse control, he's emotionally constipated with a superiority complex, and both of them are being watched by their highly suspicious families and the occasional spy. Fast forward to age 18, and the chaos has only evolved. Eden College is still the battleground, but now it's filled with forced fake dates, truth-or-dare disasters, dramatic confessions under the stars, and spy missions that go completely off-script. Anya reads minds like subtitles on a broken TV, Damian's trying not to combust every time she smiles, and neither of them knows how to say what they really feel-until it might be too late. Then comes heartbreak. A betrayal. A death. And four years of grief, denial, and failed matchmaking attempts by well-meaning best friends. By age 22, Anya is engaged to the wrong guy, and Damian is dead. Everything seems blank... until a mind she accidentally reads on a distant island changes everything. This is a story of rivals turned soulmates, lies that hurt, love that heals, and the messiest path to happily-ever-after imaginable. Love, Lies, and Loid's Daughter is a chaotic rollercoaster of romance, telepathy, and the absolute disaster of growing up when you're part of the world's weirdest almost-couple.Complete
The Fractured City
The city never sleeps. Its veins are steel, its breath recycled, its heartbeat a hum beneath the polished floors. Every corridor, every vent, every flickering screen is watched. Every citizen is measured. Every choice recorded. Lyra Vale knows this. She has always known. And yet, nothing prepared her for the day the city shifted beneath her feet. The day the Test began. The day she learned that her life-and the life of everyone she loves-was not hers to hold, but theirs to calculate. She wakes before the chime, before the turbines thrumming through the sectors. Her sleep is fractured, haunted by light and sound, by voices she shouldn't hear and images she shouldn't see. But even in her dreams, she knows the truth: in this city, potential defines worth, and defiance defines death. Outside, the city hums. Surveillance drones drift silently, lights glinting on steel surfaces. Screens flicker with promises, threats, propaganda: Obedience ensures safety. Defiance ensures extinction. Lyra's heart beats faster. She knows the system, its calculations, its rules-and she knows its one flaw: humans. Humans do not always follow patterns. Humans do not always obey. She does not yet know that she is about to become the anomaly the city cannot process, the variable the Architect cannot contain. That the Test is only the beginning. That the system is watching, and it has begun to speak. And when it does, Lyra will learn that survival is more than following rules-it is learning to fight a machine designed to predict every thought, every fear, every heartbeat. Because in Sector Nine, everything is measured. Except the human heart.
The Chosen Nothing
A girl lives a life so ordinary it borders on invisible, the kind no one looks at twice. She was never meant to be seen, and for the longest time, she wasn't. Until something -- or someone -- found her. After years of enduring struggles, the last thing she expects is to become the target of a man who wants her dead for reasons she cannot begin to understand. Magic isn't supposed to exist, and yet the world gives way without warning, answering to a voice that pulls her into something else entirely. Going out and beyond lies a different world. One where magic is not wonder, but law -- bound by rules that force each individual into unchangeable reality. She arrives already entangled in it. Enroled in an elite academy where power defines worth, Emma is pushed into a system that leaves no space for hesitation and mistakes. Alliances form and every decision carries consequence. She doesn't belong here. That much is obvious. What is not obvious is why everything keeps circling back to her. Emma was and is never meant to be found, and whatever has begun will unravel everything she has tried to keep intact. Author's Note: Hi~ if you enjoy slow-paced stories with longer chapters -- think story-rich, narrative-driven RPGs (e.g., Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact), this is crafted for you. Patience is rewarded, and every moment is meant to deepen the journey. :)
In These Days of War
The elven kingdom of Tírnéth, weakened by civil war, is unable to ward off the threat posed by the mortal men of Carransii. For the first time in recorded history, foreign feet scale the Aghadh Mountains and tread elven land in pursuit of the most coveted thing in the world: The magic of the Misty Bog. Lying to the north of Tírnéth and governed by the Seelie Queen, it is a domain even elves are forbidden from entering. Even so, Princess Eimhir and her younger sisters make the journey to its border at the behest of her father, King Lorcán, in a desperate bid to preserve his legacy as the enemy closes in from the south. He entrusts his daughters to the care of his enigmatic Warden of the North, who holds her lonely vigil in the Grey Tower of the Wall of Devin. But in these days of war, Eimhir refuses to be passive. She will not be a damsel in distress awaiting the cold kiss of her enemy's blade. With her mind honed by the cutthroat politics of the royal court, she wields it like a weapon, but can she maintain her ruthlessness through the burgeoning feelings she holds for her protector? The book cover was painted by me. :) Content warning: violence, gore, explicit sexual content, mentions and depictions of death, grief, emotional manipulation/abuse, suicidal ideation, and indoctrination.Complete

A boy is burned for reading a book. And Lyra? She's running for her life with Arthur, a battle-scarred magician whose heart bleeds ink and fire. But Cyril is not done with her-not by a long shot. Because beneath his cruelty is a secret only she knows, a monstrous truth wrapped in soft promises and broken wrists. To save the kingdom, Lyra must dig through the ruins of the boy she loved and decide whether he can still be saved-or if she must become the villain in their story. A haunting tale of forbidden magic, fractured love, and the cost of telling the truth shows humanity at its lowest point- and how far one could go for a lost soul.
