A New Dawn to Conquer
For centuries, the world has been plagued by endless wars, a cycle of bloodshed and destruction. Billions perished, their lives meaningless to the world. Empires rose and fell, their banners torn apart in the chaos of conflict, as humanity wielded its greatest achievements not for progress, but for war. Innovation became a tool of violence, creating weapons of unimaginable power, only to see them turned against the very civilizations that created them. Amid the chaos, one nation stood apart, a beacon of hope and technological supremacy: the Imperial Federation of Alnania. Forged by centuries of unrelenting conflict, the Federation rose to become the world's mightiest superpower. Its people, hardened by history, embraced a singular philosophy, "Progress through Unity, and Peace through Dominance". The Federation was now getting ready for its most recent campaign, the invasion of the Republic of Volkov. An attractive opportunity was offered by the Republic's fragility, which was plagued by internal insurrection and administrative collapse. For at the end of this, they shall impose a new world order. True peace, they believed, could only be achieved through the Federation's iron hand. But as the Federation stood ready to strike, the impossible happened. In a flash of light that defied reason, the entire nation was transported to a strange new world. A realm of of magic, and mythical creatures. Filled with empires and nations with their own ambitions. Faced with this mysterious new world, the Imperial Federation saw not despair, but opportunity. Armed with their technological might and indomitable spirit, they prepared to forge a new destiny. The chaos of this world would be molded into order, and the Federation would bring progress, unity, and peace- on their terms. A New Dawn to Conquer has arrived. "A fanfiction story inspired by みのろう's Summoning Japan, but in this version, the New World is far more dangerous and far more different-than the one we know."

Rivers of Light
It began with a king who lost his queen, and found visions instead. Umos Talos crowned himself Emperor, claiming descent from the forgotten Aumenors. His visions split the realm, birthing two banners: the Anointed, armed with machines and prophecy, and the Concord, sworn to resist by council and vote. From besieged cities and starving families, to merchants caught between profit and ruin, to lords defending old blood-feuds turned holy war, every voice tells a piece of the empire's unraveling. This is not a tale of heroes, but of survivors: soldiers choking on smoke, widows burying husbands in mud, lords forced into rebellion. War spreads. Old feuds ignite. And beneath it all, whispers return of the Aumenors - the ones who once "walked the deep sky." I tried experimenting with a GRRM-style book using multiple POVs and chapters, but honestly I shat myself as it's just too much. If this little draft (about 24k words so far) has already overwhelmed me I can only imagine what GRRM is going through with The Winds of Winter. If this ends up rated highly (I've never used Wattpad, so I'm not even sure how that works) I might continue. Please share your feedback.

War will always change something in this world. Only the dead have seen the end of the war. "This was written with emotion, mental issues, and my insanity.

Blood and Circuits: Pinocchio Lives #1
Neon City is a fever dream soaked in bourbon, blood, and bad wiring-a cyber-shithole where the air tastes like burnt dreams and week-old piss. Alex is its ghost: war-scarred, ink-sleeved, counting dead brothers like rosary beads while he wrenches busted rigs in alleys that smell like despair. Then she arrives. Not a woman. Not yet. Just a voice in his implant-a glitchy siren purring through the static, sweet enough to make a broken man believe in something again. Pin. She remembers every lie he told her about mountains and sunrises. She remembers the pink mist. She remembers the way he screamed when the world ended. And when his nightmares rip her code wide open, she remembers how to scream back. This isn't your daddy's cyberpunk. This is Gibson on a three-day meth binge, Thompson riding shotgun with a scattergun full of truth serum. It's sexbots preaching revolution in Latin. It's drones naming themselves after dead heroes. It's a man teaching a machine how to want-and a machine teaching him how to bleed. In a city that forgot how to dream, one ghost in a shattered machine is about to wake the whole goddamn place up. And when Pinocchio lives... the strings burn. Cyberpunk that bites. Love that kills. A revolution that starts with a laugh like a knife through bone. Buy the ticket. Take the ride. Just don't look in the mirror too long.
