At 9, Skylar was transported from her Sheffield home to the bustling capital of France, Paris. Now at 16 she has gotten on with her life as normal.
But on the eve of the 7th anniversary of her move, she is transported through a portal and finds herself in the workshop of a fellow Parisian. In an alternative version of Paris in the year 2000. She learns of a threat to this new world. An odd character is on the verge of creating a machine to turn the world into an unknown landscape and their intentions for this land are unknown. All that is known is that they can't be allowed to go through with this planet re-shape. Skylar must use the new inventions and contraptions to her advantage to defeat the imminent threat in time and save herself, Paris and the rest of the alternative world.
Inspired by the literary work of Polly Shulman and her books, 'The Grimm Legacy', 'The Wells Bequest' and 'The Poe Estate' and the artwork of Jean-Marc Côté and various other French artists around the turn of the 20th century and the decade succeeding 1900, this tale explores what could have been the 21st century, with a little bit of fantasy and doom thrown in there to mix it up a little.

The Envoy of Darkness
"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread.

Iron & Ice #ONC2024
"I will become as monstrous as I must." Five hundred years after the Great Freeze, the empire of Britannia stands, untouchable, as the greatest power in the world. The Britannia that emerged from the Freeze is an empire built of iron and ice, of blood and ash and bone. Its rulers govern a strictly-organized society, with each class serving a purpose and kept strictly separated. Daphne Corvus has been raised from a frozen hell to the heights of wealth and power for one purpose alone: to become that which she hates the most in order to bring a cruel empire to its knees. If she succeeds, she will see the sister she's lost again; if she fails, she will die, and her sister will be left to suffer In order to succeed, she must first infiltrate the school where Britannia turns the children of its most powerful families into its greatest commanders. But the Academy is notoriously competitive, and Daphne is far from the only student who needs to triumph. *This story is my entry for the 2024 Open Novella Contest*Terminé

(may be edited later) - 22, February of 2024 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Disclaimer: I don't own the Solo Leveling series, neither the anime, novel or webtoon. This is just a different look to the original, with more drama, less powerful characters and more "grounded" writing. - Additional Note: Due to lack of motivation, after Chapter 20, AI was used, not completely and i still correct everything according to the story, but yeah, that's that, undestand if you dislike it. - English isn't my main language either, soooo... Sorry if something is badly written or anything like that. - About the Art, Drawings, etc: Probably most of the time it will be my own designs, drawings and stuff, if it happens i ended up using another people's drawings i will credit them. Or die trying! (^o^) -- you can also use my art found here (Not sure why you would though) just credit me \(0-0)> - This book will contain violence, horror, and heavy stuff... Soo... 💀 (if you're sensible to that kind of thing, i recommend you not to read it, or if you really want to, please do be careful.

Some people on the street look at her a funny way. And to add to those problems, she doesn't know where she belongs and with whom. Her head tells her one thing, but her heart tells her otherwise. Her life is simply a mess. Her dreams keep getting weirder and weirder that she started question her own sanity and speculate if any of her dreams are really dreams. Besides, after all strange occurences and déjà vu moments life around her goes on as if nothing ever happened. How is it even possible? Unless, of course she is connected to the other world in a very direct way. But how exactly she is connected when something dark started awaking inside of her and she knows for sure that her heart is pure and kind.Terminé
