Author's notes:
This is my first written series, having done comics before, and is a work-in-progress. I have worked in the television industry, shot for indie-film, and am a fan of pseudohistory in fiction, wanting to explore my take while having some fun with it. I tend to go back and edit, so what gets read may receive minor changes later. Let me know how I can improve, and if you like it I'd be more than appreciative of any comments or a 'star' at the end of each chapter. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Lance

I Became a Barista in Another World! Volume 1: New Beginnings [Completed]
A man on a mission to conquer the world...of coffee! Ryu, a 20-year-old shut-in working a dead-end job as a barista, dreams of a lavish lifestyle being waited on hand and foot (some cute maids would be nice). When a freak accident delivers Ryu an untimely death, he is unceremoniously transported to the world of Cerulia where knights, dragons, and faeries alike are not concepts of old or creatures of fantasy, but very real and particularly dangerous. Ryu finds himself in the peaceful Kingdom of Kaffa, far from the conflicts of warring states. In this kingdom, the currency is coffee, status is coffee, and fame is coffee. It's the dream of every aspiring Coffee Brewer here to join the ranks as one of the monarch's Royal Brewers. It's a place ripe for the taking with his skillset. There's just one catch: outside the kingdom lay untamed wilds that defy the laws of nature, populated by strange and savage flora and fauna. Sourced in these wilds, ingredients for coffee are difficult to come by, and foraging for them is a perilous undertaking. Can Ryu manage to navigate this seemingly treacherous lifestyle? Or will he succumb to the dangers that lurk within the Wildlands? Testing out a new series. Feel free to comment with your thoughts as this is my first attempt at an Isekai/LitRPG (Please be nice).

Legendary-Tier Crap
Lee Hyunjin's life is the true epitome of crap He thought it couldn't get any crappier till he died and found himself in another world. Unlike most protagonists who would gain a new power or become the prince of some great empire. The only gain Lee Hyunjin got was a rise in the quality of crap. He didn't even get the loyal and powerful brother/ follower who would sacrifice his life for him nor the pure and beautiful gentle-hearted maiden whose countenance could cause the downfall of nations. It couldn't possibly get any crappier right? Lee Hyunjin forbidden words: good luck, lucky you, how lucky (anything to do with luck) Lee Hyunjin love life: (nonexistent) mid-tier crap Lee Hyunjin past summary: High-tier crap Lee Hyunjin current life: Legendary-tier crap Ps: I'm not Korean!

The History of the Universe
The year is 4343 and ten-year-old Maximus James is off on an intergalactic trip with his family. With him, Maximus holds close a copy of his favorite book: "The History of the Universe", a nearly infinite source of information (and also his textbook). However, when the family vacation goes awry, forcing Maximus and his family to land on an unknown planet, they make a discovery they never knew existed. AUTHOR'S NOTE This is the full novella in its entirety, free to read. I wrote this back when I was in high school and self-published. It's not a bestseller by any means and my writing and perspective has strengthened exponentially since its initial release. When you read this, read knowing that this doesn't exactly represent me and my skills as an author. There's another novel coming for that soon. Enjoy! If you like the story, consider buying it in paperback on Amazon!Complete
