In SerialUmbral Skirmish Fantasy Action Adventure Slice of Life
For as long as humanity can remember, Earth has been linked with another parallel world from a very distant place in the universe. Occasionally, spirits from the link will choose their heroes to be summoned to the Other Side. Once they step through the Gate that connects these two places, there's no going back.
Cue Ernie Neswitt: a twelve-year-old boy who has lived a miserable life of being compared to his elder sister. He was always said to be worse, talentless, useless, and many other scornful things compared to his sister. Due to that trauma, he has formed an inferiority complex and usually has mental breakdowns.
On a seemingly usual day, he has been granted status of a 'Chosen One' by the spirits of the Gate, allowing him to leave all his problems behind on Earth and start a new, fresh adventure in his new world. Being all too happy to step into this Other Side, he will soon learn about the importance of of the things he left behind on Earth, along with the secrets that are held in this new world and all the hardships he will face along the way. Join Ernie as he battles his way through a fantasy world where he can live out all his wildest dreams, chock full off magic, monsters, and even friends and enemies to go with it.

A Lazy Programmer
Marcus spends his days writing compilers until he finds himself propelled into another world: one where magic exists and is governed by laws similar to those of any programming language. While he's an excellent software engineer, any mistake in this world leads to magic backlash up to and including massive explosions. The dangers of this world include not just the pressing attacks of monsters flooding from dungeons, magical beings inimical to civilization, deadly weather, and magic-enforced slavery ... but also the slow decline of civilized peoples: they're crumbling under all the pressures as well as low birth-rates and high infant mortality rates.Can a lazy programmer save civilization?

School-life & Swordfights: A Clubs and Stubs Tale
Warning: Clubs and Stubs contains strong language and situations throughout that may not be suitable for younger readers. "This story takes place in a fantasy world with a modernish setting. It mainly follows four students of Hardires High School who are members of one of the greatest Team Arena Squads in the history of gladiatorial school athletics. Already two-time high-school world champions, they have entered their fourth and final year of high school in hopes of capturing a third straight world championship—something that no other school on the continent has accomplished. As they prepare for an upcoming match with a rival school, it becomes evident that keeping their two-and-a-half-year winning streak alive will be tougher than expected. As both personal and external problems abound for the student-gladiators, can they manage to keep it together under the constant pressure of being the perfect fighting unit? A blend of action, drama, adventure, and humor collide in this brand-new series!" Thanks so much for checking out my story! This is the first time that I've released any of my work to a public space so any feedback, be it positive or negative (but please be respectful if so) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that this story is only the beginning of a long-running series of short stories set in the Clubs and Stubs universe. Temporary Book Cover Design by David Watson The release schedule is rather tentative, but the goal is to release a chapter every 2-4 days. I want to make sure that every scene is the best it can be before it’s released, so it may take a bit longer especially if it's a longer chapter. However, no chapter should take more than a week to be released. Each scene varies in length, but are usually between 1,000 to 2,000 words.
