《The King of Phantoms》Prologue: The Awakening
Advertisement
I found myself all alone in what seems to be a classroom. It is quite silent and the only thing I hear is the whistle of the gentle breeze. The place seems be painted blood red due to the light that came from the window making it seem like the sun was just about to set. What surprised me is when I gazed outside the window, I was not able to see the sun but what I see is a small red orb in the dark sky that resembles the moon.
My pockets are empty and I don’t see my bag either. It is quite chilly and I have nothing which made me a bit nervous. I walked towards the door leading to the hallway when I hear some footsteps. Cold sweat flows though my neck as I open the door. I was quite nervous ofcourse but since the hallway seems to be the only way out, I decided to go out of the room.
As I was walking in the dark hallway I see a person standing in the distance. I walked closer to the mysterious person, it was guy wearing a school uniform but I cannot see his face that clearly because it was a bit dark.
“Excuse me but do you know what’s happening here?”
I asked while I was walking closer towards the guy. The guy did not respond so I just continued to walk towards him. When I was close enough to see his face, my chest became tight and my legs glued to the floor. He looks way too familiar, he… is me right? His height, his body structure and face is really the same as mine, even my clothes. It really scared me since I know I did not have a twin brother plus this setting is quite surreal for a brotherly reunion. But his eyes, they look… dead. He is also smiling quite creepily making him seem like a lunatic. Do I really look like a lunatic?

“Um… hello? Can you hear me?”
I asked again but there was no response once again so I just considered his silence as a no. I decided to just pass through him since there is no other way but as our distance became shorter and shorter, I hear a lot of footsteps which made me stop from walking.
Exact clones of the weird guy appeared. Three came and stood behind the first one but then another three came until there were thirteen of them. They are all making the same face. My heart seemed like it was going out of my chest and my neck is frozen solid. But fear came into me even more when seven of the clones just came out from the room I was from. It looks as if it was a pincer attack. They just stood still in the hallway. My stomach felt like it was upside down and I felt like vomiting.
I was petrified by the situation, I was thinking of what kind of strategy I could do to get pass through these goons when the two separate groups simultaneously started walking towards me. Since both paths are blocked, I started running to the group of seven goons with a plan of breaking the window in the room I was previously in to get out of the place when I tripped. As I fall to the ground, a flash of light occurred and then…
I found myself lying on the floor beside my bed. I guess falling from the bed helped in waking me up from that creepy dream. I was glad it was just a dream. Shivers still run through my back as I was thinking about the dream.

The Shadows Become Her
A fantasy progression, a coming of age story, and a tale of revenge... Alvixia "Vix" Altorelli's idyllic childhood is disrupted in one tragic night when the duke's fanatics ransack the Altorelli home and imprison the rest of her family, selling them into slavery across the ocean. Vix soon finds herself fleeing for her life and her freedom, fleeing to the faraway city of Floria on an island ruled by the mysterious Nurass, Prince of Shadows. In Floria, Vix's sharp mind and talent for magic land her a spot at the Perdita Free Collegium, the world's greatest school for spies, saboteurs, swashbucklers, seductresses and, some claim, practitioners of dark magic... and that suits Vix just fine. If the Collegium wants to give Vix the tools she needs to save her family and get her revenge on Duke Orso, she'll take that deal any day of the week and twice on Saintsdays, even if that means making a deal with the Prince of Shadows himself. This is Vix's tale. Author's Note: Now that Writathon 2022 is over, updates will be on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays!

The Ruins of Magincia
They say all things end in time, but the exalted City of Magi would’ve begged to differ. Yet when an attempted coup goes wrong, the city finds itself brought to the very brink of destruction. In the wake of the calamity that left no survivors, the autonomous infrastructure still operating the ruined city seeks to restore what was lost. Luckily for it, the Mana-devoid Universe it awoke in holds an unexpected surprise: a planet full of sentient life forms. All capable—with a little help—to become the next generation of Magi. Back on Earth, Millie McArthur is a pregnant out-of-work mechanic struggling with the prospect of moving back in with her parents after leaving her unfaithful fiancé. That is until she finds herself just one of the hundreds that have been shanghaied by the callous artificial constructs still manning the ruins of Magincia. Now, she must struggle to learn magic, compete for resources, get good 'grades,' and fulfill the seemingly arbitrary requirements for her future job in this broken city. All while keeping herself, and her son, alive. Is the miracle of magic really enough to make up for all the pain? The Ruins of Magincia is a dark fantasy that's heavy on the drama (LitRPG aspects are very light). Chapter lengths can be anywhere from 7k-12k and there's no current release schedule as I'm focusing on wrapping up volume one.
