Tangan kanan Seth memegang bagasi besar. Tangan kirinya pula memegang kertas Pendaftaran Aspura. Terdapat kertas kecil yang tertulis di atasnya Dorm 312.
'Fuhh! Tingkat 3! Hari-hari turun naik. Ada lif takpe lah jugak.' Rungut Seth di dalam hati.
"Seth,good luck tingkat tiga ye! Nampaknya makin kerempenglah kau kat sini. Kau ni dahlah kurus." Khaulah yang merupakan kakak tiri Seth sibuk menyakat.
"Hello, baguslah tingkat atas. Badan boleh jadi fit bersenam turun naik tangga hari-hari. Al-aqlus Salim Fil Jismi Salim." Respon Seth.
Siap ada kalam hikmah Arab kerana dia tahu kakaknya tak mengerti sepatah pun Bahasa Arab. Kakaknya tidak belajar bahasa itu di sekolah lamanya. Seth memang sengaja berbuat begitu kerana tak mahu kalah.

Pelajar-pelajar Sekolah Tinggi Agama Jauhar atau lebih dikenali sebagai STAJ, berpusu-pusu memenuhi Dewan Sulaiman dan mengambil tempat duduk masing-masing untuk mendengar taklimat pelajar baru.
Memandangkan pengajian STAM (Sijil Tinggi Agama) sangat singkat yang mana cuma memakan masa 10 atau 11 bulan sahaja, sekolah ini setiap tahun akan menerima pelajar baru dan langsung tidak memiliki senior. Pelajarnya semua satu batch. Hanya khas untuk pelajar-pelajar yang menduduki peperiksaan STAM sahaja.
STAJ memang menjadi pilihan utama bagi candidates STAM di serata negeri Johor kerana reputasi sekolah itu dikatakan antara yang terbaik dan agak dikenali juga di Malaysia dan tidak lupa juga di bumi Mesir. Ramai pelajar-pelajar lepasan sekolah tinggi itu yang memilih Mesir sebagai tempat mereka untuk sambung pengajian seterusnya setelah STAM tamat. Kerana itulah STAJ dikenali di universiti-universiti Mesir.
Ketika Ustaz Halym menyampaikan taklimat disiplin, telinga dan perhatian Inn fokus dengan kata-kata guru barunya itu yang berbunyi;
"kami tak menjemput anda semua ke sini. Anda yang memohon untuk mengaji di sini. Jadi sila ikut peraturan di sini."
Inn pasti kata-kata itu bukan setakat meyentap hatinya, malah sebahagian besar pelajar baru STAJ.
'Banyaknya peraturan kat sini. Hmm peraturan sekolah, peraturan Aspuri lagi... Aku ni dah lah tak pernah masuk asrama.' Inn mula merungut sendirian di hati kecilnya.

Sebenarnya, Inn selama ini kurang sedar yang pilihan dia untuk masuk STAJ sama dengan dia memilih untuk masuk asrama, kerana STAJ merupakan sekolah berasrama penuh. Bagi dirinya, kehidupan asrama bagai duduk di dalam pagar besi. Inn baru mula rasa menyesal dengan pilihanya itu. Akan tetapi,bila dia mengenangkan niat utamanya masuk ke STAJ untuk menuntut ilmu, dia kuatkan hati. Segala cabaran dan kepayahannya,akan tetap dia tanggung.

'Seth,lepas Zohor nanti jangan lupa pergi Dewan Sulaiman. Ada taklimat. Lepas Asar, baru makan.'
Seth yang sedang sibuk mengemas barang-barangnya, tiba-tiba sahaja teringat satu pesanan sebelum dia ditinggalkan oleh rakan-rakan sebiliknya. Dia merupakan orang yang terlambat sampai ke STAJ. Memang padan dia ditinggalkan seorangan di dalam Dorm 312.
Jam tangan jenama G-Shock putih itu dikerling. Tepat 4:30 petang.
'Aku rasa aku dah lambat ni. Dah nak Asar dah pun.Taklimat dah habis ke? ' Seth tersengih.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

Escape
Nathaniel has used what money he had to buy a VR cocoon and to pay off the next few months' worth of bills. He has two ways to move forward in life- to find a new job, or to hope that he can make enough money playing Final Escape to feed his meager, human body. He has rolled randomly, as only a fool would do, and finds himself playing a Kobold magus who wields the power of life itself. Hopefully, his role-playing is entertaining enough to generate revenue, because the game is changing his real self... or else, his real self is changing the human-shaped shell he used to wear.
