With the kingdom of Bolognia under attack by independent forces of random malcontents, it's time to send out the army to deal with these troublemakers, right? No, first there's money to be made! Send out the adventurers, those rogues who wander the countryside in search of fame and treasure, and take up all the good seats at the local pubs. Then, organize brackets, stage it for the public's entertainment, offer a prize and call it The Adventure Tournament.
Remy Fairwyn is a ne'er-do-well academic who really wants to become an adventurer. When he hears of the tournament, he jumps at the opportunity, only to find himself out of the frying pan and in the fire. Add ingredients like corrupt organizations, professional wrestlers, narcoleptic thieves, drama kings and malfunctioning magical minutia, and his venture quickly becomes a recipe for disaster. Nevertheless, he blunders his way into being the captain of his own team. Now he can follow his dream, but still has to contend with obstacles such as tournament organizers whose motives may not be clean, an overbearing father holding him to academic pursuits, and his own nonsensical noggin, which is better suited for a pack mule than a dashing hero. Still, he's determined to become the biggest badass warrior to ever wield a large piece of wood.
As the competition heats up, Remy discovers that the tournament itself could be putting the kingdom in danger, and it's up to him to uncover the truth before destruction consumes all he holds dear.

Overview of Li Cangtian This work tells the story of a stubborn young man in an era filled with countless extraordinary talents. Despite this, he chooses to train his seemingly frail fists. When disaster strikes, he becomes the protector of humanity, defending his people with nothing but his fists. In this era, people possess various unique talents and powers, such as unparalleled swords, army-sweeping spears, fire that burns everything, and thunder that shakes the heavens. However, the protagonist, Li An, is different. He stubbornly chooses to train his fists, which are dismissed by the world as useless. Everyone thought he was mad until disaster struck, rendering other powers ineffective. It was then that Li An's true strength was revealed. Born into a family of fist cultivators, Li An chose the martial artist path at the age of 12 and, at 18, decisively became a fist cultivator. While imprisoned in the Fire Relic, he reached his limits, broke through his boundaries, and gained the Vermillion Bird's fire, achieving rebirth through flames. Later, he represented his school in the high school championships, winning the championship title. He then entered the Tianqi Star competition among the most talented individuals from various races, where he enlightened his path, condensed his Dao fruit, and ascended to the divine rank. Eventually, he represented humanity in the Divine Clan Sword-Drawing Tournament, winning first place and triggering a war between the human and divine realms. Li An personally joined the fray for the sake of humanity, helping the Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, Asura Realm, and others wage war against the Heavenly Realm. He became the guardian of the new Heavenly Dao, restored the Eight King Realms, reclaimed the Five Major Territories, and defended humanity's dignity and glory with his fists.

Apostasian Revelations
What would you do if you were suddenly thrown powers befitting a God more than any mortal? Would you use them to better yourself, your community and society? Or would you wreak havoc upon our world? Or would you instead look far beyond our reality and breakthrough the construction for something brand new? A new world, all to yourself that too. That's what happened, and it was in the drizzle whilst feeding the pest that had wrecked havoc upon his humble backyard shack that he found a mystery larger than anyone can comprehend, an artifact immune to the irreversible corrosion of time, quite ironic that an unbreakable artifact fell upon his hands by accident, a man two steps away from death itself. Miguel didn't know at that time about how much of an effect the scroll would have upon his life, but whatever happens; he's now sure it'll be a merry one, either in this world, or the other one. Meanwhile in the world he had created, soft, peaceful and lush forests cover most areas of the continent with a very sparse population density, however Reggasia is anything but peaceful; and sparse. Reggasia is almost like another country to the rest of the people in the old kingdom, because it is; despite being the new capital district of culture it is now bleeding like a stuck pig, it's people starving and the wars the noblesse classes are waging aren't making anything better. As such, a greed driven young rogue takes things into his own hands and goes onto a journey that will take him across the entire district when his country and people are in danger, but will he be able to stop the conspiring nobles from taking over the entire continent? Or will his heart be pierced by the very same blade he gave unto this world seventeen hundred years ago? [#7 World Building.]Complete
The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy)
Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run.

In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games.

The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy)
As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind.

Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward.
