An aspiring musician is dropped from fifty feet in the air into a world that he only barely recognizes. With only a hastily scrawled message in a cave to guide him and a ball of rubber bands that hit like cannonballs, he sets out East and forms a band, as well as himself, along the way. Will he and his comrades survive a warped Wild West and a Mad Duke?
While it's true that after Band I'm going to go down the traditional publishing path and won't post any more of my full-fledged books, Band was written from the ground up to be a fun episodic adventure for posting online. I've worked pretty damn hard on it, and I want people to read it and, God willing, enjoy it.
With all of that being said, I hope there are things in this book worthy of sticking out in people's memory. Whether it be good, bad, or god forbid cringe, what I want more than anything is to tell stories that entertain people. I hope you'll be among them.

The Path of the Adventurer
Here is an epic fantasy story set in my D&D world that I wrote not only for fans of RPGs and fantasy in general, but for all my friends. This story about my character Erion, a young elven warrior; and his many allies and enemies in the kingdom of Briarbeth. In this vast story, you'll meet daring heroes, joy-bringing mages, ruthless orcs and more. This novel has a multitude of inspirations and influences, chief among them being Dungeons and Dragons, The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit, and The Legend of Zelda. I even take cues from anime such as Little Witch Academia, and favorite video games like Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and various JRPGs like Chrono Trigger. Look closely, and you may find subtle references to some of the aforementioned franchises at different points in the book :) Just a little warning: The story, especially the first couple of chapters, starts off with a several common fantasy tropes and clichés at first glance (e.g. elves and orcs, an old wizard with a pointy hat and a grey beard, taking treasure from dragon etc.), but it will grow into something a bit more unique as the story progresses. Please forgive my usage of Tolkienesque tropes, as I came up with the concept of the series when I was only fourteen (At the time I was making it in the style of old school fantasy, so what can you expect :p). Even I, as the creator will say it is cliched or stereotypical in some aspects. I only refuse to change them due to spending a lot of time with them during my high school years (And tbh i love elves/dwarves/orcs fantasy). With that aside, I hope that you will love my fantasy universe full of adventure and lore. Now sit back, relax, and embrace yourself for a magical adventure with Erion and his friends! Listened to Twilight Force, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, Power Quest, and various other power metal bands while I was writing this :) (Character drawings found at the end of the story)Complete
Veltrasia: Reincarnated in Another World With A Nation
In a cutting-edge MMORPG simulation game, players build nations and shape the world itself. One player wakes up to find himself commanding his own nation-as his in-game character's ruler. He soon discovers that his entire mechanized nation has also been transported into a fantasy world of magic and swords. Now, leading a nation of steel and steam in a world that plays by different rules, he must find a way to survive-and conquer. "Damn, I might be cooked... or are they?" ------------------------------ Note: This is my first time writing, so there may be grammar mistakes and some plot errors. This story is also inspired by other works, and I give credit to the original creators of those ideas.
Faith
Since my story got deleted I decided to just start over. I blame myself for not making a backup of the story, so it's gonna be a bit different from what it was because I can't remember the 30.000 words I wrote. On an early spring night two Ghouls stumble upon a sick young man. He's in bad shape so they take him to their church. His arrival is chaotic and puzzling. Will the Ghouls uncover all his secrets? Or will he uncover theirs? WARNING ⚠️ Strong language, transphobia, hate speech/slurs, (selfharm and trans) scars, weight loss/gain, gore, death, (attempted) murder, domestic violence and probably some smut. I do not own any of the music or any characters that are based on band members and artists.
A Winded Will
They said only the gifted survive. In a world dictated by those born strong, one boy fights to prove that stubbornness can rival bloodlines, and that borrowed will can burn brighter than destiny. Every trial cuts deeper, every victory costs more-and still, he climbs. Among soldiers who can shatter mountains and prodigies who bend the elements, he's the outlier-the one who shouldn't have made it this far. But when survival means more than strength, and when the heroes the world worships start to fracture, he learns that sometimes courage alone has to carry the weight of legends. This is a story about defiance, about standing back up when the world forgets your name-and finding meaning in the breath between failure and triumph. (This is a story I've been writing for five years, and I really hope you enjoy it. I eventually plan to turn it into a webtoon or manga, and I already have a lot more done that I need to polish-this is just the beginning. I'll be releasing two arcs at a time weekly.)
Be Careful What You Wish For Present:::
I'm not truly a writer nor good with words. I'm just a normal person trying to know who he/she really is. I can do lots of things. But for now, I think I'm gonna apply writing stuff. So I wrote this story based on a true story of the whole class of grade 7 and turned it into a magical but dangerous adventure. This story is about a girl hoping for her high school to turn more exciting than her sixth grade, but turned out to be less than she expected. As time passed she already missed being a sixth grader. So she wished to turn back time before she graduated but it was impossible for her to make it happen. Until... A ring she found in their retreat at her classmate's house. A ring with crystallized pose, indicated with aqua colors, and made of white gold with tiny blue crystals lined straight. A ring, that would change her life forever, if she succeeds. So join in as the student remark on an epic journey full of deadly viruses, colorful tents, and also tricky challenges when one wishes to turn back time and stop space. From dimension to dimension, few will survive, and the rest? Death! Unless... You read the story first excellent reader! Not to spoil anything but... To be honest, my story is awful... I expect lots of bad comments. So... hope you like it!Complete
An Unconcentful Adventure
He was just an ordinary student. His hobbies are just geeking and modelling armoured fighting vehicles, he also finds solace with a questionable music taste and being a part time weeb. though he didn't expect that he would experience something that defied science to a certain extent, such as being transported to another world.

With tough luck, he got stranded in the middle of nowhere. But, he's not completely alone. Somehow, a BTR-80, accompanied him. Nevertheless, he set up a simple but hard or impossible objective for himself, return to his beloved world and home planet, earth. and maybe find his classmates if lucky.

Proposal of Submission - Psychic the Saga
Hello, I want to first thank you for taking the time to read my proposal, as I know that there are many others you must work through who have done the same as I; please, trust me when I say that your attention is greatly appreciated. I am messaging you today because I wish to submit a selection of excerpts taken from the series of science fiction/science fantasy stories I have written; called Psychic the Saga. I'm a former United States Marine, and a currently enrolled Aerospace Engineering undergrad at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. Over the course of the last eight years, during which the earlier stated experiences have occurred in my adult life, I have continually written the story I am now presenting for your consideration. Outside of writing as a hobby, and what was needed when submitting assignments, my only writing credential is a published engineering research paper in the European Physical Letters: 'Tailorable Twisting of Biomimetic Scale-Covered Substrate'; of which, my main contributions were that of the experimentation, and the editing/proofreading of the paper. In regards to my submission, the story of Psychic follows our trio and the rest of their friends as they fight for peace and stability within the newly unveiled realm of psychics, once hidden amongst the world for untold millennia. The statistics of Book One are as follows: word count = ~205279, page count = ~396, target audience = young/new adult (16~34 yr. of age). The reasoning behind this age range is two-fold: the concepts, morals and lessons, themes, and situations/ problems faced by the main characters are both relatable and beneficial for this age group; also yes, there is foul language, and yes there are very visceral depictions of violence. Also also (lol), I wish to give a disclaimer in terms of any romance, love, or anything else similar; I intentionally never take the story beyond anything more intimate than a kiss. So there. Sincerely, and with the utmost gratitude,Complete
Consequence of Power - Modern Weapons Cheat In Another World Kai
Nagato Kazuya had it in for him with a stray bullet from heaven. Now he gets a chance for a redo with hazard pay this time. The catch? He ain't the big man on top's first rodeo and has to share with other isekai protagonists of their own accord. The problem? Dome one, and you get their powers. If some guy wakes up as an ancient dragon in its volcano lair and wants to end the world, humanity just has to continue what it does best - throw a faster rock. His problem? That rock came in with either tungsten, depleted uranium, or HEAT from a hundred miles away. I've been meaning to write a fanfiction of MWCIAW for a while now, but I couldn't find the drive to do it. But after reading my fellow authors' fanfiction Nihonkoku Shoukan(NHS) Kai, and how they brought the story to life, I felt motivated to try my luck. The story was what brought me to the military isekai genre before discovering NHS. I want to pay my respects to the original and write a properly fleshed-out version. It will follow the same characters, but they will have their personal lives and conflicts, and have actual human responses to the yandere question. I own nothing except my own ideas.
Empowered
As the narrator, I'm tempted to simply write "Middle Finger" because that is essentially what you'll feel like I'm giving you in telling this story. However, for the sake of not being a complete dick, I'll write a little more than just a description of a disrespectful gesture. This story can aptly be described as crude and deranged. As you may have surmised, a crazy person will be telling this story, and the characters involved are indeed also all crazy in their own special ways. So, given this exercise in mental illness, the topics touched on (in no particular order) in this tale are destruction, death, superpowered wackos, torture, pain, loneliness, chaos, the will to survive, never giving up, giving up and not giving a shit, the desire to protect, failing to protect and causing more trouble than was already present, disappointing and/or abusive parental figures, bullies, unjust punishments, just punishments, racism, violent and usually superpowered fights, sci-fi gadgets, bitterness, sarcasm, twisted and demented comedy, control or lack thereof, weird and awkward high school drama, lies and brainwashing, alien aggression, moral ambiguity, unhinged villains, fantastical weapons, a piece of shit main character, conditional friendship, a fuck load of musical references, anger, fear, depression, extra-dimensional creatures, godly powers, various esoteric connections, pop culture references, and of course, in general, superpowers.Complete
The First OTHER World War (NWY2)
On one New Year's Eve, the moment the International Date Line welcomed the new year first, the change occurred. Communications between nations were severed, climates shifted, and unknown lands emerged. Eventually, as each country gathered information and realized they had somehow been transported to another world, their reactions varied. America: "FUCK YEAH! Frontier time, baby!" Russia: "FUCK YEAH! It's warmer now, and the vodka tastes even better!" China: "FUCK YEAH! Not sure what's going on, but there's a ton of stuff that looks edible!" Japan: "Must go to work." ...Or so one might expect, but in reality, each country moved forward with its own agenda, heading straight toward a clash of civilizations.
