Chasing sun, napping softly:
Cultivation/Xianxia genre.
Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne.
We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts.
In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him.
Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun.
The challenges for myself with this story:
Writing in first person.
Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise.
The cost of heroism:
A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes.
The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities.
Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work.
Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that.
People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly.
The challenges for myself with this story:
Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is.
Writing fight scenes.
Showing different mental states.
Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns.
Who will be the next powerhouse? :
A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants.
Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes.
The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system.
Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods.
The challenges for myself with this story:
A softer tone for storytelling.
Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves.
A different try at slice of life story.
I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! :
Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story.
The challenges for myself with this story:
Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes
Writing in first person.
Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist.
Different type of humor.

The Rules of Dungeoneering
The First Rule of Dungeoneering: This will kill you Sylvester Bayes, the 4th son of a small baron, has suddenly had his head filled with the memories and work of someone who had dedicated their life to memorizing every dungeon they could find and designing a new RPG system. Not about to waste these gifts, Sylvester quickly sets out to get rich quick and discover the reasons behind his sudden knowledge. (Please note, this is dressed up actual play from my testing of a tabletop RPG. It is actually how the game has gone and there is a very real chance that anyone, including Sylvester, could die in any encounter. To help make my job easier I am using dungeons written by other people, which is why I have listed this as a fanfiction. I put links to all of them in the chapters where they are relevant.)

The Crossing Vol. 2
Life isn’t always fair. While most have the blessing of having two loving parents, Glacia Weiss is living another reality. The Gardenia, a warrior whose soul is half dragon, was murdered in the dead of night. This warrior was Glacia’s mother. Who witnessed the murder at only eight years old. The man who committed murder was none other than her father, Wiley Weiss. Unknowing of what would happen to her, she escaped the estate and fled the city into the darkness of the night as the dragon’s soul bound itself to its offspring. Days later, she was found in the wild by a woman named Lavia Achilles, the leader of an order called the Tarragon, who took her in. For reasons she didn’t understand, the Tarragon never returned her, and the details of her mother’s death never went beyond her being murdered to the public. Over ten years, the scene of her mother’s death had replayed day after day as the only one who knew what really happened that night. Driving her to escape the order and find her father, only to fail repeatedly. It wasn’t until the day she became one of them where freedom felt possible. On orders, she’s sent to the edge of the Elysia border. Miles from where, a year prior, the port town of Morath was burned to the ground from a dragon attack. Now haunted by what’s believed to be a fragmented being of the fire deity: The Ash of Ebon. To her, it looks more of an opportunity to earn her freedom. To confront her mother’s murderer and do the same justice unto him.
