RIDE AWAKE
A STORY OF Kingard the Valiant
IN THE PROLOGUE OF CONCEIVED
NOT THE END
“...on stake unstaked his fervor quails
his courage ebbs, his vision fails...”
Girynni Nvehnyn Dynde
3:2:3:3/5, III:IX
Waking felt like nails bursting from his body, but something tight in Kingard’s chest prevented him from gasping at the pain. His brow rested on wood, a beam, sticky with blood and practically humming with magic.
He opened his eyes. The beam was sharpened at the end; he blinked in confusion up at the bloody tip looming above his head. The angle seemed strange, so strange... Slowly, his eyes trailed down the beam, past the odd print of his forehead in the blood. He strained, tucking his chin to follow the beam until – oh no.
It protruded from his stomach, angling upwards from just beneath his rib cage to jut inches from his face. The blood was his blood. The pain made sense now. He was impaled, hanging from a wooden stake, his wrists and ankles bound behind the beam to keep his limbs from dangling.
Why wasn’t he dead? His immortality had ended. This torture bore semblance to his time in Sierlyn’s dungeons, but the magic of A’lara had sustained him then. This time, he was mortal. A true rosen once again, but a mere mortal in the end.
It wasn’t the end, though. Kingard tried to stir his magic, but the humming of the beam grew louder, a soundless incessant buzz that destroyed his focus and robbed him of his senses. Too wracked to yell, the elf merely sagged. He brow settled against the beam, his eyes slouched closed, and Kingard the Valiant was lost to the world.
Thanks again for reading.

Single Player
There are many games played on the world of Earth- some virtual, some board-bound, others much more real. For Grey Shor, the Apocalypse brings a game unlike any he’s seen before- one that pits him against all manner of monsters, both human and otherwise. In this new reality, he has but a single goal: win. With the Apocalypse comes Evolutions- abilities that combine and level to transcend humanity. For Grey, this means Single Player, a power that allows him to play this new game by his own rules. After fighting through the hell known as the Apocalypse's Tutorial, Grey returns to Earth, finding it poorly prepared for the hell ahead. Armed with information regarding the future and powers ripped straight from myth, he begins a game that will not only find its way to the annals of history, but change them forever. The only way to save the world is to destroy it. — This is a story inspired by Death Note, the System Apocalypse sub genre, and stories like Solo Leveling and The Gamer. Will it appeal to fans of those stories? I can only hope.

A Martial Odyssey
Our community discord. With one step, an ocean is crossed. With one swing, an immortal is slain. Grisla Orlith's name has been in contention for centuries; millenia. Has he ever existed? Is it true about him? They hear of the future, but they don't know his past. Assumed as a genius from heaven, a warrior without peer. But back then, from those that knew of him... only saw a worthless boy. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] For those not in the know, this is a book with some western and eastern fantasy sprinkled in. This is a work coming from someone who's a long time fan of the genre and would like to add my own flavor and spin to it, and I particularly dislike the shallow xianxia characterization and development. To counteract that is about eighty percent of the reason I'm writing this. The beginning might be a slow burn but I promise I'm bringing up some awesome scenes and moments once you're invested. Again, this is not some fast food xianxia. But I can say that as a lover of the genre I won't be completely shying away from the stuff that got myself hooked into it in the first place. DISCORD NOW AVAILABILE!

The Tales of YAP: The Superhero Series
“Listen well, and listen kindly, for my story is a story of contradictions; of the dead becoming alive and the weak becoming strong. Likewise, those nominated as the strong are reduced into the weakest of foes. And lovers, those sweet companions, are nothing but crazed psychopaths. This is the type of story I will tell. The story only I can speak of for it is solely mine. And now, as I recount it to you, thence forth it shall belong to all that hear of it. Listen well, then, for I shall begin.”Sooo, that’s it. The world isn’t what it is. The dead are alive. The weak become strong. And bla bla bla. The normal days of a superhero-in-training, I suppose. I hope you have a bit of patience because my story is a long one, and it starts out in the same old, boring world.My name is Yassi Anne P. Sorento, and this is my story before I became the superhero I am today. (First posted on Webnovel with the same title and under the name, Hua_Li_An.)
