Valor and Violence Fantasy Action Adventure Slice of Life
Valor and Violence is a series of short stories following different, yet all equally colourful, characters set in the same world. Birth of a Legend, the first short, follows Captain Erskine Erwell, a newly promoted Captain in the Calandorian Royal Navy, charged with protecting his people from all who would do them harm. Great news for the Calandorian citizens, bad news for the Skjar reavers that ravage the shores in search of slaves. But when a small reaver fleet slips the net and escapes to the southern jungles of Marduk, Erwell must fight a war on two fronts; one against the raiders, and a far more difficult war against the hostile landscape. If he can't find allies in this strange land, he may end up being the one in need of saving.
The first part of the second short story will be uploaded on Saturday, the 11th of June, following Ferez Ahud, an aspiring young battlemage charged with the unsavoury job of 'terminating' a rogue member of his college. But how this nobody of a mage became a fugitive remains a mystery, and when the answer is discovered, the tables are turned and the hunter becomes the prey.
I'll be uploading chapters of more in-universe short stories each week or as close to, work permitting.

8 1063Braza the Architect - Magical Crafter, Builder, and Adventurer!
This is the story of an older man who lived a hard but full life, being reincarnated into a fantasy world as a human-lizard hybrid. The new world is violent, magic is real, a game-like development system crushes physics and natural law under its ambivalent thumb, and myth and legend don't just meet, they chase you down to eat you.Follow Braza as he tries to make a very different life for himself in a familiar but ultimately alien world. In this story the protaginist will not just be a muscle bound monster. He is not a proper hero, willing to sacrifice himself for the good of a stranger, but neither is he a maniacal villain. He is trying to survive, and he is trying to give himself and those he deems himself responsible for a seat at the table of the"goodly", the "civilized" races. He is trying to create a secure home for his people, to arrange beneficial trade agreements, explore ancient ruins, decipher ancient runes, push the boundaries of magic to create a better life for everyone around him, to learn about the history of the world and the multiverse, and ultimately attempt to become powerful enough to take on a being that even the gods themselves fear. This is my first story and it blends many different elements and styles. It's a bit darker than most of what I have read on Royal Road, but even with that, I hope you give it a try, and I hope you like it!
8 228Love Among the Gifted
Pride & Prejudice & Superpowers! In this England the gifted have ruled since the Norman’s invaded. How will a series of unexpected attacks in Meryton shortly after the Assembly impact Elizabeth and Darcy? This is a different look at canon with the addition of powers, politics, adventure, and espionage. But the heart of our story is still the rough road to romance for our dear couple. The story is complete.
8 194Slipstream Blue: a Pre-Apocalypse Slice-of-Life Adventure
They call her Destruction, and these are her times. As the final Wave approaches the center of the Atlantean Empire, academic adventurer Kae is going to save what she can and see a bit of the world while she’s at it. She travels the abandoned cities in search of spells and lost knowledge, and generally has a blast doing it. Des is running from her past. As a First Guardian and keeper of a powerful spell, she had the power to unmake anything that stood in her way. But that’s all behind her now, and the only thing she’s trying to stay ahead of are the sins of a lifetime. When their destinies cross, Kae and Des will embark on a journey that will take them to the farthest corners of rapidly shrinking Atlantis. With the end of the world right around the corner, they’ll do their damned best to have the time of their lives. There will be superheroes, supervillains, spells, pirates, mechs, trapped tombs, talking animals, sleek machines, and quite possibly love, if the apocalypse doesn’t get in the way. -------------------------------------- [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Written and uploaded like I'm trying to get rid of it Contains LGBT elements.
