A Jinni Just For You
※Who said magic only affects those who believe in it?※ Elmas thought it was just a game. A bit of harmless hoax magic with her friends-laughs, candles, and a silly chant. Then came the voices. The shadows. The waking dreams. And the boy. Suddenly, she's losing control-of her thoughts, her routines, even her straight-A record. And it all began the day he appeared: the new guy from the all-boys school next door. The one whose face she saw during the ritual. The one who won't leave her alone-no matter how far she runs. Her mother always warned her: stay away from magic. Elmas didn't listen. Now, reality is slipping, and something far older-and far darker-wants in. To survive, she'll have to untangle the mystery surrounding him... and face the truth about what she invited in that night. Some games should never be played. Some doors should never be opened. ©PearlandIvory2020

A small and quiet Utah town is full of life. Friendly neighbors. Beautiful scenery. Friends and family that stand by you no matter what. And the light of faith being their guide and protection.

Against the System
[!] MUST READ [!] --- In a land where everyone is born with magic, one boy has none. Kaelen Verenth, fourteen. He keeps his head down and trusts the path laid out for him, until the day he steps beyond his door and finds a realm of blades, scholars, and whispering circles who all serve a pattern they can't name. Roads feel rehearsed. Encounters click into place. The world moves as if someone is turning a page he hasn't seen. There is a mind behind the curtain. Everywhere and nowhere. It bends truth in small ways at first, a shadow that moves after its owner, then in ways no one can ignore. He isn't meant to notice. He isn't meant to ask. Yet he does. When the Loom trembles and the rules begin to slip, the only child without a spark may be the only one who can pull the right thread. "Reality isn't real, cults worship glitches, people vanish either willingly or unwillingly. The System is not your ally." --- What to Expect: ▰ Skill, tech, magic. ▰ Morally complex protagonists. ▰ Slowburn Worldbuilding following character growth. ▰ Typical fantasy elements. --- Updates weekly. --- [!] Original work, do not distribute.
