Life for the common man is hard, here in a world where a blanket of noxious polluting clouds completely enshrouds all but the highest mountain peaks and mesas. The remainder of humanity is overcrowded together, picking through the ruins of the short-sighted generations before and eking out survival one day at a time.
For some however, there are things worth grasping for if you have the eyes to see them...

Born a Magi into a life of privilege, Samahdemn grew up in a society where being born with such a gift undocumented is deemed a crime by long-standing religious decree. Over the centuries of his life, due to a constant mental disquiet because of his aggressive and sometimes violent nature, he's gone from being a disgraced noble, to a slaver, to a Knighted servant of his homeland's crown, where he eventually found some measure of peace by venting his magickally suppressed aggression in a more positive direction.

Charged to lead mortals in a conflict that endangers every man, woman and child on Mundus be them Man, Mer or Fae. After begrudgingly accepting this fate and leading the holy charge in the devastating Dįvonësë War over the lands of the living world and helping to save it from fates unknown, if only barely, he now writes his mémoirs in the hopes that doing so will give him the piece of mind to know that all of his means truly were justified by their ends.Complete
Once Upon A Steampunk
Story 2 of short Steampunk story, an aircraft officer and a postman try to find the cure of a strange poison in an island full of dragons and sky pirates. To me, Once upon a Steampunk is a captivating journey into an alternate reality, where the gears of the Industrial Revolution turn in harmony with fantastical elements and a touch of Victorian elegance. In this mesmerizing tale, the air is thick with steam, and the clinking of mechanical contraptions resounds through the cobbled streets. Immerse yourself in a world where steam-powered marvels and clockwork wonders coexist with corsets, top hats, and elaborate fashion. The landscape is a fusion of the familiar and the extraordinary, where towering airships navigate the skies and intricately designed automatons carry out daily tasks.Complete

There isn't much offensive content, and this is in no way political, but I know the internet, and the social justice feminazis can always find something to be mad at.
