Ophuthis: Unfaltering Fidelity
Demise and despair, spoke the World. Aided by the tribulations and Tartarean of Reality. Knowing that, persistence and tenacity, the people still professed notwithstanding. The races forlorn, impotent and insignificant. What more could they oppose against a Supreme? Proved across the world his puissance once, now he awakens to complete what he had already begun. With the scars of the past still lingers, how could the rest react to the omnipotent? Nay iniquitous omnipotent? Peril is nigh to the people. Despite their futile resistance, it is still disheartening to know that the dastardly remains superior. Should they lose, they know that sempiternal dolor awaits them. The world dances in the hands of the flagitious Ophuthis. Truly, there is no other way, but to either perish, or swear Unfaltering Fidelity unto the Great One. What way must one choose? --Foreword-- This is me about a year from completing this volume, needless to say, I have no plans on expanding this story further though I left the story with a lot of loose ends and by no means a fully flushed ending. This story was also my very first take on writing fantasy, and novels for that matter. Which is why, please expect some amateurish way of writing, and please tread with caution, patience and understanding. I have made and tried several other separate stories apart from Ophuthis, experimenting with different themes, characters, setting and timeline, with my way of conveying words better and better with each new story. I have no plans of putting any of those works here on Wattpad however, as I still think I can muster an even better story fit for this platform. My time's still young, with a lot of fronts to grow as an author and writer. Hopefully, if fate wills, all shall align. Thank you, and have a fun read.Complete

A Drink Before Battle [MxM] ✅
General Sevei is of the firm opinion that Nobles are shady and Alchemists even shadier. Noble Alchemists are the absolute worst. He is not looking forward to partnering with one to guard the border. Upon their introduction, though, it would seem they have already met... under very intimate circumstances. Oh...,**** Set in the same world as Salvage, but we're going back in time for some Medieval sword and sorcery! This wholesome, happy-endings-all-around, smutty queer fantasy romance features an M/M main couple along with a host of supporting characters bringing some trans rep, some pan rep, some sex worker positivity, and even a straight ally who tries his darndest, bless his little puppy heart. Plenty of fluff, plenty of sexy times, a few funny bits, and our gang do all make it through the Horrors - but there is a war on, so there's also plenty of angst and a bit of bloody violence along the way. CW: Violence, violent death (no main characters), homophobic society, internalized homophobia and closeting, internalized transphobia (supporting character), war veteran ptsd, slavery (supporting character - no abuse of this character is depicted and sentiments are anti-slavery), strong language, detailed sexual content (all consensual), discussion of sex work.Complete![The misadventures of a Main Character [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/52201321-256-k127755.jpg)
The misadventures of a Main Character [Complete]
***Previously Wattpad Featured Story*** Meet your run-of-the-mill protagonist: Main Character. In this fantasy (spoof) of an epic adventure, Main embarks on a quest to conquer the world, guided only by the words of a drunkard, and a bolt of red lightning. It soon becomes clear that the twelve-foot troll travelling with him is only the start of his increasingly bizarre list of sidekicks. Rising to villainy is harder than it looks, Main realizes; plot twists give him vertigo, and hard work is migraine-inducing. But still, there's a world to conquer, fangirls to run from, and love to fall slave to. What could possibly go wrong? COMPLETEDComplete

Darkened Hearts
It all started with a superhero, one who vowed to help save the world and use her powers for good....But how can one keep a promise if they don't remember making it? What happens when the lines to right and wrong blur? When promises have to be broken? When the one thing you thought you could never lose, your morality, comes into question. What happens when the only person in the world that understands you is the person you believed was evil. But a reputation can be fabricated, evidence can be tampered and memories can be manipulated. How does one decide who's good and who's bad? Who's the hero and who's a villain? Maybe the only real difference between the two is a change in perspective or perhaps keeping an open mind. Sometimes even a "Villain" has a good side and even a "Hero" has a bad one...so what would happen if they were to see eye to eye?....Who would be there to pull them from the deep end?...or maybe the high tide is exactly where they want to be.Complete

My Most Tragic Villainess
"If you don't get enough sleep, you'll die." Is something that I've just figured out lately. With a 14 days of "not sleeping" streak, the light came and took me to another world. A world of novel, my novel. You see, I was up all night for the whole 2 weeks writing my novel named "Dreadful love". It had a decent amount of readers. And I, the author is famous as well, why's that? Because my novels are known to always have legendary tragic twist and turns, I even kill my lead characters, Hehe. Ahem. So I transmigrated... To my own novel... And it just had to be this one. And I just had to be the villain... Though it's all goods, since all the characters have tragic lives. But this person that I'm in is ten times more tragic than all of the other characters! She died because- not important.
