"The Mainland" is an intimate narrative that explores a mother-daughter relationship; they are stranded on an island after an apocalypse had demolished their home. It is evident that the narrative thus focuses on the events that transpire during the journey of getting to the idealistic "Mainland". Comparatively, the chosen inspiration text is The Road by Cormac McCarthy because both narratives stem from the minds of two personas experiencing the consequences of appreciating civilisation, due to the dystopian circumstance they are engulfed in.

a Lout and a Prince
in a world where there are no hunters and no white star, there's a lot more time for petty politics and relationship drama og cale x alberu PLEASE NOTE: this story is about ORIGINAL Cale Henituse, NOT Kim Roksoo. THEY ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Please, please, please do not leave me comments conflating the two. For reference in case you are not aware: Original Cale Henituse is the person who had the body BEFORE Kim Roksoo transmigrated. He's the one who earned himself a reputation as a lout/trash. ORIGINAL Cale Henituse lived until forty years old, died as a soldier, age-regressed and switched places with Kim Roksoo. He has a different personality, priorities, and motivations than Kim Roksoo. This takes place in an alternate universe where there is no White Star so Cale Barrow would have never stolen Kim Roksoo's body THEREFORE Kim Roksoo EXISTS as a DIFFERENT PERSON in the ws body. So far as is canonically established: og Cale is never a commander, never becomes sworn brothers with Alberu, never adopts any of the children that Kim Roksoo adopted. He's not Eruhaben's unlucky bastard and if he were to meet the elderly dragon, he'd have a different impression of him because they are different people.Complete

Dead on Arrival - Resurrected by Grace
I love the beginnings of stories. Whether it be a book or a movie, I enjoy the opening scenes the most. Because they hold all the promises of what is to come; unburdened by commitment or baggage. Beginnings are full of hope. This story is an exception. Because the beginning of it is a sad one. It's the ending, however, that makes this story worthwhile. It's been several years since these events occurred and I have spent the majority of that time contemplating how best to share this story. Why? Because stories are important and everyone has one. This one is mine...Complete
Between Hostility and Love
After death claimed her parents one after the other, Amel stood firm against a merciless world, realizing early on that life does not always yield to our wishes. Yet, neither her youth nor the crushing weight of her tragedy broke her spirit; rather, her unwavering faith in her Lord became her anchor for patience and perseverance. Her path was never paved with roses. She faced the cruelty of time and the bitterness of human nature, yet chose to respond with grace and compassion. This journey led to a fateful encounter with Kevin-a young man who once branded her a "terrorist" simply for being Muslim, dismissed her hijab as a mere "tent," and viewed her skin color as a blight on civilization. Before fate turned, he would become the very reason she was confined to a wheelchair. "Between Hostility and Love": When perpetrator and victim cross paths, and the heart's capacity for forgiveness is put to the ultimate test-can hope take root where hatred has been sown? "Between Hostility and Love": Where the light of hope breaks through the darkness of despair. "Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested?" (Al-'Ankabūt 29:2)
