Magic disappeared. Magic returned. And then, the world ended.
This is our world, but not our world. It is a world of islands, floating in the sky.
Once there was magic. Then for a time, there was none. And then there was magic again. Once, long ago, magic disappeared from the world so completely that the people who lived then came to believe magic had never been. They were wrong, and magic returned, and those people pridefully fought the very gods in a terrible war, a destructive war, which only ended when the surface of the world had been cracked asunder and cast up into the sky.
Now the world is broken into pieces, into separate islands, floating slowly in the sky. Now the people of this age live as best they can, scavenging and fighting and loving, doing all the things people have always done, but now doing those things in the sky.
On one island, Sema, a farm girl, watches as her family are killed by pirates. On another, in a city, a thousand miles to south, Cassa is about to marry a man she does not love. Sema must survive, and in her own way Cassa must survive too. Slowly they are drawn together, and their meeting may save the world.

So because it turns out if I do normal romance everyone hates me, I’m going to try a couple of different things... So this is fantasy, just because, so... um, here! I’m not sure how it’ll go because I haven’t tried before, but if you’d like to look, then please do!
Oh, the odd chapter numbering is because I'm kind of thinking longer chapters, and swapping between the two characters, so 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 are the parts of chapter one and about Sema, and then 2.1 is the start of the actual chapter 2. If that makes sense :)
And also, thank you for looking!

Chronicles of Magic: A VRMMORPG Story
If you like things such as Overloard, SAO, or Reincarnated as a Slime, then this might be right up your alley. If you like stories where you follow the antagonist, this definitely is up your alley. The first part of this is a condensed version of half the events of how Sky began to gain power. The next part (starting at MC Meets MC) will be the isekai! Of course there's an isekai and will contain the meat of the story for awhile and takes on a new perspective through Lyra. Sky's story returns later (starting at Back To CoM: Sky's Journey Continues). I will eventually rewrite and edit this story and separate it into 2 separate self-contained books. I'm a player in the hit VRMMORPG (virtual reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game) Chronicles of Magic. A fantasy based game set in a world full of monsters, diverse NPCs, unique quests, and an ever evolving story that unfolds based on player choices. Anything is possible with the world of CoM. Even character creation and evolution are influenced by subtle choices made by the Player. The stat system is complex with point values that influence every aspect of the character. There are unique Titles and Accomplishments unlockable in every way imaginable. Even a player's skills can evolve and combine with other skills to create one of a kind unique skills.Complete
Elemental: The Luna Legend
"A lot of people get cars and presents for their 18th Birthday. Me? I jumped into a pool to discover a world that shouldn't exist outside of a storybook." *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*. A magical secret and a past she couldn't remember. When Kiara turned 18, her whole world turned upside down. With witches, werewolves, vampires, gods and goddesses, power, magic, faeries and soulmates; she traded her normal boring high school days for an adventure that spanned many lifetimes. When the humans waged a battle against the supernatural, the sacrifice of one Princess ended it, maybe this time Kiara will stop the war. *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*. -a/n- After almost 5 years I am back to complete this book. Thank you for everyone who took a chance on it and all the messages I got asking about the updates. Chapter 69 has a bit more backstory on why I stopped writing. But I've decided to continue to at least finish this story. Originally this story was supposed to be a 4 part series, but with how much time has passed I'll just leave it at this. I'm hoping to reach chapter 90 at the end of this book so if you're still here, thank you and I hope you enjoy. I'll be updating once a week, probably on Wednesday or Thursday.

Transmigrated As An Adventuring Prince?![DISCONTINUED]
I'm Yamato Kusuo! A former 19 year old college student. I was told by some sketchy gods I went into a coma. Don't ask me I don't remember why.. I was given a chance to transmigrate to another world to avoid boredom while my body lays still. I, like any other lucky bored teenager, agreed and was knocked into sleep right after. But now I'm told I'm a prince?! An adventuring prince?! Wait where am I?! Oi don't touch me! Tristan: (°ー°〃) I was just going to ask if your joining dinner.. Nathaniel: Let him be! That excuse of an adventurer got 'hurt'. Whitford : Goodness! Just eat before it gets cold. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ What the fuck?! What kind of party did I join?! SURPRISE SURPRISE!! I DECIDED I'D PUBLISH A STORY BEFORE I LOST INTEREST REAL QUICK! So! This might have slow updates because well... I'm a lazy ass person. When I publish this there might be another 4 chapters already ready to shoot but I'm still lazy :P Oh! And I update every two weeks so twice a month! We'll meet again ;))))) Disconrinued due to lost of motivation. Might be rewritten.Complete
Morphling
"Why are you following me?" She asks annoyed. "I have not been following you." I find myself responding. The girl states, "Yes you have. Don't lie and answer my question." "Okay, fine. You remind me of someone and I was wondering if you could help me." The girl studies me for a moment. I wonder what she will say. This girl seems very annoyed and threatening. "What do you want from me?" I reply, "I am looking for some people so I can bring them back to our village." This is not a lie. "What village are you from?" She questions. "Just a village." Then the girl turns on me and somehow pins me on to the ground. She says, "You're one of them aren't you. You know nothing about this kingdom. What are you a morphling or a fusion?" I am shocked. How did this girl figure me out? Was it that obvious?Complete
Remains of Humanity
After a nuclear war nearly in 2150 the whole Earth has become uninhabitable for humans. There are some major cities which are still running but have very scarce resources such as food, water and oil.

The year is now 2205 which is the beginning for Earth to become how it was before. There are a group of people called The Warriors who go out and try to look for resources, facing death daily. A seventeen year old boy tries to steal food for his friend, he gets caught and is sentenced to death. The only way he could get out is if he joined The Warriors to search for a mythical jungle which is rumored to be flourishing in food and water.

Shadows of Elysium: The Laughing King
Once upon a time there was a world, much like our own. This world is gone. The machinations and wars of man saw to every manner of apocalypse. What was left is a world as nightmarish as it is fantastical. Gunslingers and swordsmen ply the same trade. Science, chemistry and magic are indistinguishable from one another. The monsters prey on all, but the true villains will always be human. Humans who have walled other humans in to the most violent part of The Husken Earth, The Wastelands. The Immortal Red Eyed Man sits atop this wall and uses his airships to drop experimental drugs into The Wasteland. Both mutants and parasites live under the shadow of the Abominations birthed. Monsters and men fear their brothers and sisters who fall prey to the allure of Elysium. It's hard to tell what is more addictive, the magical drug itself or the power it promises. {End Blurb} [Lore] Only one wall was ever built to protect the non-cannibalistic mutants of the Grey Coast and the inhabitants of Valoria from the true Wastelands; it has fallen. The remaining warriors built a great defense to fill the gap in the frontline wall. This outpost was overrun and the warriors that defended it became too few. They did the best they could and many died in the battles to keep the True Wastelands at bay. Survivers became little more than wanderers, sell swords and try hard defenders of the inhabited wastes. This is the tale of one such wanderer and his mission to unite the Wastelands against the abominations created from Elysium. This is the tale of The Wandering King and his sadistic counterpart.Complete
