The Greylands: Modern Edition
A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.Complete
Recalls of Surrender
Alchemy has always been a key to understanding the universe, yet it has often been dismissed as mere superstition. The truth seared through my veins like scorching heat, igniting every cell of my being with a searing, uncompromising judgment. I sacrificed everything-my strength and sense of identity-chasing after an overwhelming purpose. Duty and conviction waged a war against a primal yearning for freedom, unleashing a maelstrom of emotions that threatened to tear me apart. This internal hell fueled an insatiable, maddening lust for vengeance, obliterating my moral compass and propelling me toward utter destruction. Only when I made a final decision did the fundamental principles of morality seem to slip through my fingers like grains of sand. Each savage blow against the oppressive system left me questioning: am I a righteous crusader, or a monster consumed by hatred? The poisonous doubt gnawed at my mind, suffocating my thoughts with insidious whispers. Yet, I found the strength to silence them. With fierce determination burning in my veins, I vowed to break free from the chains of oppression or die trying. Fear would not hold me captive any longer. As I teetered on the edge of life and death, I couldn't help but wonder: would I emerge victorious or succumb to the relentless wheels of fate? The answer lies shrouded in the mists of an uncertain future, but one thing is irrefutable: win or lose, every decision will ignite an inferno of change. This cataclysmic revolution will raze the old world and herald the birth of a new era. In this cosmic roulette, even the most steadfast warriors can turn to dust in the blink of an eye. Therefore, are you willing to participate? Given that there always was, is, and will be war. Hope stands stronger than fear, yet anything is possible when darkness lingers. It is the deflection of accountability and guilt. Yet when all seems lost, trust that the butterfly knows where the water flows.
One-shots Book
I want to try my hands at writing one-shot stories, so no requests because I'm not used to write one-shot stories. (I apologize for any grammar mistakes that you will see here) (I don't have Azur Lane or anything else here) (All of the characters' ages in the lemon chapters are 18 or above.)
Duchess Trilogy: Book 1: Mafia
Time travel, elves, magic-those are all just fairy tales, right? Or are they? After falling into a well, I was mysteriously transported nearly a hundred years into the future. A rescuer helped pull me out of the suspicious well but proceeded to think that I was completely insane. That I wasn't who I was. From then on, I go through a journey slowly learning about his family and this new world. But as I uncover the truth about this family and the strange life they lead, the real question becomes: Can I truly adjust to this new reality? And do I even want to?Complete
Loyalties
Abd i'Adhith has always done everything for their kingdom, everything they were asked to do. But when their ruler suddenly abandons them on enemy territory, their whole world is flipped upside down, especially since this enemy kingdom seems ideal and welcoming. But it's not so easy turning the page on a kingdom you gave your entire life for, even if it would mean a better life. Torn between loyalty, betrayal, love, hate, identity, culture, beliefs, religion, family, friends, and acceptance, Abd i'Adhith only tries to survive through their loss without loosing themselves in the process. I'm really looking forward to constructive criticism, so feel free to let me know what you think of each chapter.
Story Ideas For The Future
for future stories or for some people who would like to do them if they have ideas (Art and Videos are not mine nor do the characters mentioned in this, they all belong to their rightful owners I just own the ideas, and if you guys want to you guys can make one of these ideas as a story of your own making)Complete
