A southern blademaster known as Inu is sent on a quest to track and assassinate the murderers of his Empire's ruler. Strange lands and people, hardship and trial, plus the odd monster-like fauna of the world create a wonderful and gritty experience for the seasoned shinobi.
Trained in the arts of combat, monster-hunting and tactics, Inu needs to make good use of all his skills in order to survive the eerie northern lands.
Inu is my attempt to somehow merge philosophy and grimdark fantasy, to explore different faces of the human self, to somehow unveil the gearworks of our minds, while interlacing these inner journeys with a fast-paced, action-packed, sometimes gory narrative.
Due to the nature of the manuscript (as I aim for around 200k words), I won't upload an entire chapter, but bits of chapters in order to make the reading experience more enjoyable for this wonderful community.
I have been working at this book for about one year now, and I have been studying creative writing quite thoroughly ever since 2013, and I hope you will enjoy my work!
I'm waiting for your feedback (mostly the negative parts, I really want to know what must be improved).

PRECURSOUL ~ The Von Virtus Chronicles
Long ago, in a world not dissimilar from our own, seven powerful mysterious weapons were forged. After centuries of dormancy, safely hidden from those who could abuse their power, one man's curiosity drove him to discover the resting place of one such weapon: an indestructible sword with a deep desire to be unleashed upon the world. Even though he failed to free the blade, he inadvertently woke it. The weapon cursed him, dooming the oldest in his bloodline to hear the its call, enticing them to follow in his footsteps and seek it as he once did. After the man died, the sword's ever increasing cries for freedom latched onto his only son. This is his tragic tale. --Credits-- Book cover: Canva AI-generated images: Imagen 3 Proofreading and flow improvements: ChatGPT -- You can also find this story on Royal Road (by unholy_sweetrolls).Complete
The Crownless Lands
Welcome, traveler. Step into the Crownless Lands-a realm that should have been golden but never was. The maps still show grand borders; the songs still promise glory. But up close you'll find frayed banners, broken vows, and people trying to live between the teeth of history. Here, adventurers hunt fortunes that refuse to be found. Heroes rise late or fall early. Lives are traded, stolen, and sometimes-miraculously-saved. And the creatures? Some stalk the roads and terrorize the villages. Others arrive with a lesson sharp as a blade. And the kingdom's worst monsters wear crowns made of lies. --- What You're Getting Into: A weekly high/dark-fantasy pulp serial-fast, moody, full of intrigue, sorcery, and razor twists. Each episode lands a complete beat and ends on a cliffhanger. Where It All Unravels: A continent under a failing crown: forts crumble, roads go quiet, new rules harden. Towns and frontiers fend for themselves-more grit than resources. Bloodlines, Beasts & the In-Between: Shifts among humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and classic creatures-some scourge, some uneasy allies. How the Story Moves: Chapters leap across the map, braiding many plots into one struggle. Local skirmishes mirror the bigger fight for a crown no one can hold. The People Worth Bleeding For: An ensemble of adventurers, exiles, heirs, and schemers. Not every arc finds light-some rise late, fall early, or trade all for one mercy. Your Weekly Drop: New chapters every Thursday, 6-10k words. Each deepens the world, sharpens the cast, and drives the saga-great for weeklies and first-timers. Important Note: The story follows multiple destinies; chapters are non-sequential and jump between plots across the Crownless Lands.
Midoriya of the Dragon's Blood
"Oh shinobi, open your eyes." Her voice was smooth, like velvet, and gentle like the summer breeze. He thought it to be a vivid dream at first. The hunger clawed at his insides. Then came the multitude of wounds. And then the frostbite. The letter she'd left only added to his motives. Dying in a well wasn't a good way to go out. The dream ended with his death. It started again the next night the boy closed his eyes. AU - Where Izuku has the memories of the Greatest Shinobi to have ever existed, Sekiro. I don't own MHA Or Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Sekiro lore will be explained in the story, it also doesn't infringe too much on the aspects of the story besides Izuku's character. Constructive criticism is more than welcome.

The Weaver's Source
Lyra has been waiting for her Weaver to find her for years, unable to leave the safety of her home and only connected to him through passionate dreams - remembering nothing about him apart from his wild, sensual song. When the lone Weaver Grigore finally sweeps into her life, she finds herself instantly drawn to him, instantly recognising him as the man she had dreamt of for years. However, Lyra quickly runs into problems. Not only does he fail to recognise her but he's nothing like she imagined; cold, stubborn and determined to keep himself away from her. Rejected but determined to keep him safe as her magic whispers of his death, she follows him through danger and blood as he stalks his own hunt, desperate to shake the hooks that keeps pulling him back to her. First Volume of the Dark Folktales. This is a horror, erotic romance, with monster-of-the-week vibes, such as Buffy, Supernatural, Witcher, Claymore, and Van Helsing. (I'm a massive fan of the monster hunting genre.) Written from Sep 2011 until April 2014. This was the very first adult romance I'd written and has a plethora of problems. Despite this, I won't do further editing as I'm putting my efforts into a full re-write. Author's note - Please be mindful of what you're saying when commenting. I'm happy with helpful criticism, spelling/grammar pointers, questions or simple chatter. However, a tirade of needless, unhelpful complaints and just outright rude commentary is not welcome. My stories are terrible first drafts, they're going to be riddled with issues, so just politely highlight if you feel there's a problem. I'll listen and likely take on board the criticism. And if you're not enjoying it, that's fine, just move on and thank you for giving it a shot. The cover is my own art; sketched 2017.
