Isitic is a desolate and barran land. Water is scarce, crops hard to grow, and freedom impossible to obtain.
But there is one hope - The Golden Gates, and beyond the golden barrier, The Other Lands.
Bountiful and plenty, it is every Isitican's dream to get to live in the government-funded paradise.
The only problem? You have to survive a month in The Arena.
The Arena is a mysterious death trap that the Isitican dictators over the years have put to their uses. Encased in a giant glass dome, The Arena is patroled day and night by vicious beasts, the environment changing every day.
Every ten years, eight 18-year olds are selected from a major city to go to The Arena, and see if they can survive.
If you survive - you and your family get to live with pleasure in The Other Lands.
If you fail - well, you're dead.
Join this decade's eight as they try to survive the trial that many before them have tried. But something's different this time, and it may turn out to be fatal......

Atlantis Academy: The First Element
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?Complete
(OLD) Forever Desires
The updated & edited version of this story is now on Wattpad!: https://www.wattpad.com/story/43967583-forever-desires A trigger was pulled...and it wasn't mine. ※※※ Ever and her team had been locked in the arena for seven years, and throughout those seven years she has been tortured, played with and lied to. Her trust in everyone was slipping and her confused feeling for the boy she's known since she was six, was starting to pull her back -- keeping her from being who she was and her duty. Her duty was to rid the world of this terrible game called, 'The Emag', (formerly known as 'The Bloody Desires'). Why? She didn't want others to experience her pain and confusion. She wanted children to be safe -- to be loved. Not torn to pieces by machines and not starved to death. Even with her thorough planning, nothing ever went as planned. Captured. Humiliated. Tortured. All again. Ever was beginning to wonder if her plan would succeed...and if she could finally escape the abuse once and for all, well keeping her team alive. (Trailer by me)Complete
The Arcana Games: Catalyst
401 souls. Eight trials. Only one will survive. For centuries, the Council hoarded magic, granting it only to their chosen few. Now it dies, and their answer is slaughter dressed as spectacle. Cast into the ruins of the Octaviary-a once-proud academy twisted into a labyrinth of death-the competitors must fight, bargain, and betray their way through trials designed to break them. But they are not the only ones playing. Each Councilor has chosen champions, and each will twist the rules to keep their pieces alive. They say the strongest will prevail. But in the shadows, every path is rigged. The road to power will be written in blood. The only question is: who's holding the pen? What to Expect: - A cast of flawed and dangerous characters, each with their own agenda - Magic that feels powerful, costly, and unpredictable - Scheming Councilors pulling strings behind the scenes - Betrayals, broken friendships, and desperate bargains - A brutal contest where survival is never guaranteed

Will contain Violence, gore, sensitive scenes, and swearing! You have been warned. Feel free to draw the characters, or even make your own universe if you want to. Just be sure to credit me and Rosealina Heart for the pictures and story! Most character pictures were drawn by "Rosealina heart" a good friend of mine from school, and someone who also participated in creating this story with me BACK IN 2019-2020. So this is basically me retelling the NNBX storyline. So thank you Rosealina! Other pictures I found off of google so NO PICTURES ARE MINE! A little bit about me : I'm a small writer and youtuber. My channel is mainly gaming so I won't talk to much about it. But I hope you enjoy my story. If you do enjoy it, please share it. I've worked hard on this story and it's one of my favorites, I have more than I might put here, but I decided to do this first. I'm currently enrolled in high school and will graduate in 2023 for college I plan to major in science or literature. I first found my love for writing in middle school when a friend asked me to write a story about her and her crush. Ever since I've been writing none stop. Again, I hope you enjoy my writing and feel free to comment any feedback for me! Much love!Complete
The knights: Chronicles of the Six
A book still catching it's audience... Joining a mysterious after-school club wasn't exactly on anyone's to-do list. Especially not one that involves intergalactic travel, secret powers, and way too much violence🙄 Normal class day? Near-death sparring sessions, bringing robotic alien plants to life, and trying not to get mashed up before dinner. Every four months, the school hosts tournaments that are basically legal ways to commit violence - fun, right? Add in rivalries, betrayals, double spined - humans, and a universe-threatening psycho-god named Zenith who thinks he deserves all the power... Yeah, welcome to the Academy of Students with Extraordinary Abilities. AEA-Xylkor. And leading their "student armada"? Delia - whose mom can barely pay next month's rent. So... saving the galaxy might just be her best shot at skipping rent. Skateboarder, Rapper,Mathematician, all spices in the 6-ingredient broth. They're mostly tenth graders. They're confused. And apparently, they're the universe's last hope. A hidden force is rising, and it starts with one of them - harboring a power that could either save everything... or destroy it. Idk tho... So yeah. No pressure. Oh, and me? I just hope you enjoy it. Watch out though, because once you start reading, well... good luck stopping. 😏😂
Rituals, Regrets, and Really Dumb People
You ever have a dream? Everyone has dreams. I mean a dream like wanting to be an astronaut or president or that such. I have a dream like that; I want to take over the world and cast humanity into an eternal darkness, with me as its cruel emperor. I've worked hard to achieve this dream too. I've practiced vile magics. I've honed my alchemy. I've amassed an army of demons, mutants, and cultists. Hell, I even worship a vile god to boot. Do you have that sort of dedication to your dreams? I do. And I'm so close to realizing it fully--well, I was close. I would have achieved it if it wasn't for that priestess and her damnable curse. Now I'm not even sure I'll make it to next week without my legions uprising or some other tyrant trying to usurp me. Oh, sweet Darkness. Please, someone, anyone, help me. **Warning**: Crude language and cartoon violence. **Updated every FridayComplete

Her Sickness, His Cure B2 (ON HOLD)
"You...You look just like an angel...A dangerous one but still.....an Angel." She attempted to smile at me. Her breathing was forced and ragged. Her forehead was covered in beads of sweat. Whether she felt any pain or not, I felt a thousand knives pierce my heart. I gently caressed her cheek with the back of my hand. All my life I never had a problem getting whatever I want. I was the last child out of four siblings. My parents spoilt me with everything. In every way. They had no problem allowing me to have whatever my heart desired. I was never met with anything I couldn't have. Until her. Until this beautiful woman who was never going to be mine. I wish I could fight to have her. I wish I was faced with a normal challenge that most men do when they were in love. A normal challenge would occasionally be them trying to prove their love for their woman, or compete for her hand if there was another man after her. I would love to compete but how could I ever compete with something which is not a being of any sort? How was I ever going to compete or battle against something I could never touch or see? How could I beat it if it is the one she has chosen to go with? How could I ever take away the freedom of choice? How could I ever compete with Death?
