In our world, there are three types of people. Mystics, who have incredible connection to the earth's powers and amazing magical abilities. Aurians, who have no connection to the earth, and not a drop of magic in them. Half-Breeds, the middle ground, born from the rare love of an Aurian and a Mystic, born with no magic, but connection to earth. I, Rowan Oaks, am an Aurian. I will never be able to create water from air, or open up a flower bud before it was meant to bloom. But I'm alright with that. Genuinely, magic seems like a wonderful gift. You want it, but you could live without it. However, there is one thing that I've always envied Half-Breeds and Mystics for. The connection to the earth that I mentioned earlier? It's pretty important. Because of that bond, people can reincarnate.

Promise of the World [Canaan, Book 1] by Chryiss_Rose
12 parts Complete
Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after twenty years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity's existence. - Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction - Expectations for this Story: Immersive adventuring experience inside an intricate, magical world. Vivid imagery and deep characterization. Quirky magic system with mysterious elements and history. An original spin on the classic portal fantasy/isekai/waking up in another world interweaved with a science fiction twist. Scattered allusions and easter eggs. Builds expectations of future events to then defy that prediction. Slow-burn romance and complex, realistic relationships. Seriousness with a dash of humor. [August 3, 2021 Update Notice: The new revised and final version before book 2 will be up on August 8th on Royal Road. See you there!]

Each baby born beneath the waves is killed--with one exception: the one hundred thousandth is spared. There's one rule shared between the island's tribes: don't touch the water. When Cressa-la breaks this law, her world, and body, changes. Sure, change is normal... but when has growing scales ever been normal? • • • Watty Award Winner 2015: Best Use of Visuals • • • Each baby born beneath the waves is killed--with one exception: the one hundred thousandth is spared. Among the spared, magic chooses a rare few, connecting them to the moon or sea. These are the One-Hundreds, mermaids and humans with the power to save the world-or corrupt it. When Cressa-la breaks the first rule of her tribe and touches the water surrounding her island, everything she knows turns on its head. Talking, sinister dolphins, mind control, and a whole world just under the waves await her on her eigteenth birthday... but she never asked for any of this. All she wanted was to become a Tribe Leader and take care of her village. It's amazing how one screw-up can change everything. A relentless darkness reaches for her, wanting her affections for his own twisted purposes. In opposition stands a fractured light, haunted by a painful past where corruption eroded friendship. Unless Cressa-la can bring the darkness to his knees and fight the war raging inside, the world is doomed. • • • Content warning: This story contains themes of depression and violence.

The world consists of far more than a few people, and far more than just what you see of them now. All characters have a past, a story, some piece of themselves hidden by time that makes clear who they are today. These hidden aspects can be revealed by more than just their stories, too; sometimes, what happens off-screen is even more important than what's on display. Follow me through the world our heroes and villains inhabit and see just how far we can go together! -This is all backstory and world-building for the Freelands of Into That Wild Blue Yonder (https://www.wattpad.com/story/214070883-into-that-wild-blue-yonder). Just around 50K words. -I also wrote up a brief encyclopedia with general world info here (https://www.wattpad.com/story/216689041-a-brief-encyclopedia-of-the-reimagined-world). Contains no spoilers.
