《it's archaic》the last days
Advertisement
to my grandfather, A.R.A,
and to my aunt, B.N.H,
who fought cancer
with their last breaths.
☾︎ the last days, you could barely whisper my name once,
the last days, your eyes forgot your family's resemblance.
the torment in your voice was as if sapphire stones were breaking on their own on your bedroom floor,
i didn't want to accept that we couldn't just sit and talk anymore.
☾︎ i was too scared to ever ask you,
but then i saw your face and i just knew i had to,
how have you been so strong all this while?
locked inside of hospital rooms with not one familiar smile.
those were the last days that i got to see your face,
and i'm still hopelessly trying to find you in the people that i meet,
but there's no one like you, no one could ever be.
☾︎ the last days, i was dreading every breath you were taking,
the last days, the sun didn't rise in those paper skies,
the last days, the doctors didn't bother telling us all those gentle lies,
the last days, each one of us were saying silent goodbyes,
the last days, were tarnished with our shattering cries; and we were desperately trying to hold on to that little time.
☾︎ but i guess our hands must've slipped, our chance was missed and i swear you were just laying there a second ago but now they're carrying you away in white clothes, just tell me how can i make this stop? how can i bring you back and rewind the clock?
that last day, i wished to just hear you say my name once more, and to just see you smile before your eyes closed for that last time.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Legend of the Guild: Point Blank
Status: On hiatus indefinitely, because I'm going to be busy and the story is now at a place where it needs major reconstruction. Curt is a young gunslinger from a small town called Ore Town, situated in a barren wasteland known as the Dusts. While sabotaging the gang threatening his town, Curt is forced to take a leap of faith, literally. He plunges into the sea of clouds expecting death, only to arrive in an entirely new world beneath his own. Saved by a young girl using magic, Curt isn't too sure what to make of his second chance of life. When he meets a fellow Duster who had fallen years ago, he's roped into becoming second-in-command of a brand new guild. Guild duties aren't easy, especially as Curt is tasked to recruit fighters to take on the Grand Guild Tournament, where the winning guild takes home an enormous prize pool -- and most importantly, a mysterious ticket to the fabled "Star City" that exists above the clouds. Going with the flow only takes him so far, and Curt soon finds himself burdened with more responsibility than he bargained for, including the fate of the two worlds. ==============================Wordpress This webnovel is written for fun, and everything posted is essentially a first draft. Beware of typos and lack of creative descriptions — my main priority is to get the story out over writing quality. Still, I hope you enjoy the story. Updates are sporadic, but I aim to release a chapter (~2000-3000 words) at least once a week. Average release time is 1 chapter/3 days. I took inspiration from the lore of the MMO, Dungeon Fighter Online (Dungeon & Fighter), and there may be easter eggs or references to the game, but the story and characters have become wholly original and standalone. [Note: Profanity tag is up because profanity is present, but infrequent]
