Bobble
A small, squishy little jellyfish-like creature that floats in currentless bodies of water. It has an air sac on top of a small plate-like middle section. Below the water it extends thin glowing strands that have a dull paralysis poison that is only strong enough to stun small fish or other aquatic creatures. The strands also serve as a deterrent to larger aquatic predators, and it has a foul bitter taste to dissuade land predators. It is also odorless. They give off a slight glow at night, and the bubble on top retracts into the plate section when it is touched.
Brackin
An insect-like creature that has 10 legs. It has a flat body and two little antennae-like eyes, a mouth on its underside, and a long pointy tail that does not have much mobility. It has a segmented body that has a hard exoskeleton carapace. It is an herbivore and practically harmless. It's main form of defense is the very leaf-like mold on its upper carapace. It often has a small flower growing out of the center. When threatened it will hold completely still, no matter how much it is pestered.
Light bugs (need name)
Small Firefly-like bugs that are attracted to the jingling sound of small bells, can be a light source if you trap some in a lantern that has bells in it. Can open lantern and let them out if you have bells on a string.
Fylerius
A very unique and mesmerising plant that goes through multiple cycles. When it grows, it sprouts straight up from the root as a stem. The stem then recedes a bit at the top, and another smaller, more complex stem with thousands of tiny seeds stuck to it grows out. This intricate smaller stem then expands outward to form a sticky membrane “orb” of sorts, which will allow the seeds to be either blown away, or picked up by the local fauna and transported. After a few days, the orb dissipates and the Fylerius flower buds from the original stem. It’s said to be one of the most beautiful flowers on Yvitril. It only blooms for a single day, and then wilts and the cycle restarts.

Skin-Flayer (needs full name)
An incredibly carnivorous, dangerous and feared plant that grows in the plains of Elsavas. It’s rare, but it has a huge reputation. It’s a large plant, with the center being roughly the size of a small human child. The center of the plant is a “mouth” of sorts, which opens and closes. Connected to, and extending from the mouth center of the plant are several (up to 10) long and winding tentacles. These tentacles have thousands of tiny barb-wire “hairs” on each that hook pray, and the name Skin-Flayer comes from the plant’s incredibly quick reaction time to something being caught on its barbed tentacles. As soon as an animal gets stuck to one of the tentacles, it retracts them all at blinding speeds and a lot of the time it rips the skin clean off of whatever it catches. If a human were to grab onto one of the tentacles, or step on one with a bare foot, they could easily lose the skin that made contact and sometimes more.

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

The Iron Forge
Jeremy and Drovic walked two different paths in life until the fates decided that their courses should meet on the way to the Iron Forge. An ancient power used by the gods to forge the world and all its creations. Few rare people know of its power, and fewer are willing to sacrifice to gain it, while others want to survive another day. Watch as these two unlikely heroes are forced together to save not just themselves but the fate of all reality. I'm only a hobbyist writer. There may be the occasional error, and pacing may be poorly-handled; let me know, and I will make corrections. I am always open to constructive criticism and will do my best to respond to any questions/comments. I'm here to write stuff that makes my brain happy and follow my dream. Thank you for reading this far comments are always welcomed, and I hope you enjoy the book. A special thank you to HWPerfidy for creating the cover art for my book.

According to him, dispelling requires a high-level priestly ritual. In order to regain the power lost in the level drain and to resurrect as an adventurer, Florence set out on a journey to the church city of Rourrow, where priests gather.
