"It slaps my taste buds… Natural and fresh but also a little bit liquorish…" Dara commented as he opened his eyes to see a smug grin on Aunt Lin's face; "You made this!?" He asked in apparent surprise as Aunt Lin nodded; "What do you think?" She asked as he nodded his head with an impressed smile… "This is immaculate… Can you mass-produce this?" "Um… It takes only about ten minutes to make this jug, but if I had more hands, we should be able to make at least five of it in as much time…" "I'm definitely getting you more hands… As a matter of fact, I think it's time you stop getting your hands dirty and instead have people do it whilst you simply supervise…" "Meh… Then what would I be doing with my free time?" "I don't have any other thing to do, and I would just be bored and alone most of the time… If only I had-" Aunt Lin was halfway into her speech when her eyes widened and she abruptly paused; "Eh? What is it?" "Nevermind… I'm just glad you liked it…" Her eyes dimmed slightly and her voice trailed off, but Dara was no kid anymore and understood where the rest of the statement was going; 'I really didn't know this is how she mostly felt when I'm not around…' He thought to himself; 'No wonder she is always very active, happy and clingy whenever I'm around…' He thought before taking another bite and feeding it to her, but that still didn't cheer her up, so he tried to figure out a way to do so, and when he couldn't find some, he simply shut his eyes… Aunt Lin saw this and thought perhaps she had ruined his mood with her actions, but just as she was about to speak, he abruptly opened his eyes and smiled at her; "Do you want to hear a joke?" Aunt Lin was slightly taken aback before she chuckled slightly and replied; "Okay!" Her mood improved as she was actually loving the new him… The usual Dara would still be snoozing his balls off by this time, but now, not only was did he wake before her, but he also brought her breakfast in bed, and was about to tell her a story; little actions that made her feel special, loved and happy; "How do mountains see?" Aunt Lin was stumped by the question, but after thinking hard for a while she couldn't come up with an answer; "I don't know…" "They peak!" He laughed whilst she simply smiled at the cheeky answer; "Do you want to hear more?" Aunt Lin bubbled her head; "Why did the fire fall in love?" Aunt Lin obviously had no

Devourer of Destiny
A wise old grandpa in a ring. An ancient weapon to unleash one's true potential. An unorthodox teacher who emerges from obscurity to provide heroes with enlightenment. In a cultivation world, those who would rise to the top usually have some sort of advantage that propels their rapid ascent. Things that many would offer their souls to obtain. Ebon Dirge, a fallen devil descended from the highest realms of the divine, is more than happy to accept their payment. Thwarted by the machinations of the mightiest beings in the universe, he is forced to begin anew in the lands of the weakest mortals. To prepare for the ultimate confrontation, he has hatched a plot to steal the best weapon of all: destiny. Whether it is a downtrodden youth in the savage wilds, a prince driven to desperation by the royal web tangled around him, or the students and staff of an illustrious magical academy... all should beware what they wish for. They just might get it. For a price, of course. --- PROGRAMMING NOTE This is a wholly rewritten version of the novel that originally began in 2018, not a copy-paste of those original chapters. ABOUT THE NOVEL Devourer of Destiny is an exploration of cultivation story tropes and foibles. It features: - Cultivation stuff. The story is a satirical take on xianxia and xuanhuan staples and tropes.- An irredeemably evil central character.- Multiple POVs. A lot of them, although the central character remains central and will always have the lion's share. POSTING SCHEDULE TBD. Still working it out.

The Choice of Twilight
Growing up has always been difficult. It's even worse when you have to do it all in one night. On the eve of his thirteenth birthday, Ty awakes to find himself in a dreamworld, one-so he is told-that exists to pit him against his greatest fears and insecurities. And to ready him for a final choice. Luckily, Ty is not without friends. He soon meets Gentry, a wooden puppet his grandfather made for him years ago, walking and talking, ready to help Ty learn what he needs to return home in one piece. But that won't be easy when a cruel and abnormally tall skeleton dressed in mockery of Santa Claus and his suit hates Ty's guts. San wants nothing more than to best Ty and do what none of his kind has ever done before: defeat a child that has made "the choice." But Ty will stop at nothing to fight back against everything San's got in order to face his fears and grow up. Because, if he doesn't, he will end up a kid forever. Or, worse...never wake up again. This story is perfect for you if you are a fan of Coraline and Kingdom Hearts, both of those stories greatly inspired this one. I have recently added the Isekai tag after being unsure if it counts or not. I've decided it fits the description of what it is but not the current trends in the genre. If you go in with Coraline in mind I think you will have a better idea of the kind of Isekai this is. And I've also added the Slice of Life tag, that is only for the first five or six chapters though, then Ty enters the dream world and it pretty quickly becoms a progression fantasy, a mix of more traditional fairy tale like trappings alongside more anime action and acquisition of slowly increasing powers. With all that out of the way, please enjoy! Updates every Tuesday and Thursday! What time of day? It's a mystery! (For now)
