《A Spark in the Wind》Notes for the Readers
Advertisement
Dedicated to the Roman Empire
In universe, this is a 25k verse epic that was passed down orally from generation to generation until somebody decided to write it down and then I decided to adapt that writing into a mere 120k English novel. So you're welcome.
This novel features a love story between two guys (although their romance isn't the central plot, their love for each other is). Still, if you're a homophobe, please step away for your own safety.
There is only one semi-sex scene, but there are a lot of other things that might trigger people: lots of deaths, bullying, PTSD, physics, etc. I don't want to be held responsible for any accidents. Viewer discretion is advised.
There is a magic system in this book, and it's alright to call it a 'magic system', although nobody who actually uses magical powers calls it that, because science.
In the end, I've added five appendices just in case you're interested in my world. Since it is without spoilers, you can read that before you read the main story, or vice-versa.
I was thinking I'd write an Appendix F to pay respect to their elvish languages. But then I realised I'm not Tolkien and I can't do this (not yet anyway).
The book is not a 'dreamy offspring of vivid imagination that requests you to temporarily suspend your beliefs and escape into a fantastic world'. This is a gateway between the universe that I created and our own, and your action of reading it leaks my universe into this one.
This is not a standalone book. All the fantasy books I write (unless stated otherwise) share the same universe as this one, and each of them like this one are ancient stories passed down from previous generations and then then translated.
The stegosaurus has a brain the size of a walnut, and that has absolutely nothing to do with this. Just saying.
Though upvotes are absolutely unnecessary, they put a smile on my face.
Anyway, here's a map of the world just in case you want one (I don't think this site will do enough justice to it, the whole map is 4000x2249 pixels). PM me if you want the bigger version.
Okay, so... that is all for now. I hope you have a good time reading this book, thanks. Enjoy!

Trickster's Luck (Fantasy LitRPG)
Not all luck is good luck. Maya found herself at a character creation screen. Who was she before this? Why was she creating a character? What was the game? No idea. But she had nothing better to do and no reason not to play along. And when given the option for a rare luck-based starting class, how could she turn it down? It was rare and special! That must make it good. Right? Character-focused, low-stakes, post-death upload. Hard system: if the stats say she loses a fight, she'll lose the fight. Randomized outcomes: I roll dice behind the scenes regularly, so events flow according to the whims of chance. Nothing is set in stone. There is an overarching plot, but how the details play out and what path we take to get there is up to fate.
