《The Legend of The Tamer》Prologue
Advertisement
Humanity, a wonderful race full of possibility, they started from nothing and now they dominate a whole planet. They are a race who love to invent, improve, and innovate. They made things, from materials that surround them, their resourcefulness knows no bound, their creativity is endless, their potential, infinite.
In the planet where they live, they have found no enemy capable of besting them. Only, humans were greedy, that is not to say that greed is evil per se, no it is not. Greed is a fuel for Humanity, nothing they do is not of greed, the greed for food, clothing, care, status, love, recognition, and more.
Humans love to invent, they create things to better their lives, to make complex easy, to make creations that would help humanity. But the more they want to ease their lives, the more they complicate things. This was human innovation, from cavemen to the current civilization, they have traveled farther than any known creation, humans were unparalleled.
When Earth, their motherland needed help, they acted, but as much as humans wanted to, they were unable to, for they were greedy. Humanity knew the plight of their home, the Earth was dying, but Humanity had their own priority, not only did they not help alleviate the situation, instead they worsened it.
Humanity was at their peak, their technology made them confident. And as years go by, they wanted more, they wanted to rule, not other creatures but their own. In reality only when Humans unite can they show their true potential, but only a threat of extinction would stand a chance for realization.
None of the world leaders wanted to serve others, they wanted to ruler themselves. Perhaps, it was inevitable, and so it came, the Third World War!
It brought the world destruction like never before; the saturation of Humans ingenuity and creativity brought the Earth to its knees. It forced the Earth to wake. And so, it started, the Earth’s Retaliation, unimaginable disasters struck Humanity, this time it wasn’t systematic nor was it random, it was targeted. Humanity was filled with despair, fear, and even repentance. Sadness, hopelessness, and despair permeated the air, as buildings fell, and earth’s cracked swallowing Cities, Typhoons raged in the Ocean’s, Volcano’s erupted and, the Oceans raged with waves of destruction.

Humanity saw no hope, in this time of despair, they were filled with regrets. Maybe if they had started differently, if they had valued unity at a global level, and their wills were as one. Then maybe things would’ve been different, but there was no medicine for regret.
“Live”
A voice sounded in their minds, they closed their eyes, and silently wept. This would be the last, the last Miracle, and the last Gift.
A bright light entered their bodies and as the light enveloped them into cocoons, they were put to sleep, a slumber of end, change, and beginning. They were like stars surrounding the Earth, twinkling like beacons of hope, as Earth changed into a blackhole like existence, absorbing and growing.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SECOND CHANCES, ONLY NEW BEGINNINGs.

The Shadows Become Her
A fantasy progression, a coming of age story, and a tale of revenge... Alvixia "Vix" Altorelli's idyllic childhood is disrupted in one tragic night when the duke's fanatics ransack the Altorelli home and imprison the rest of her family, selling them into slavery across the ocean. Vix soon finds herself fleeing for her life and her freedom, fleeing to the faraway city of Floria on an island ruled by the mysterious Nurass, Prince of Shadows. In Floria, Vix's sharp mind and talent for magic land her a spot at the Perdita Free Collegium, the world's greatest school for spies, saboteurs, swashbucklers, seductresses and, some claim, practitioners of dark magic... and that suits Vix just fine. If the Collegium wants to give Vix the tools she needs to save her family and get her revenge on Duke Orso, she'll take that deal any day of the week and twice on Saintsdays, even if that means making a deal with the Prince of Shadows himself. This is Vix's tale. Author's Note: Now that Writathon 2022 is over, updates will be on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays!
8 95The Ruins of Magincia
They say all things end in time, but the exalted City of Magi would’ve begged to differ. Yet when an attempted coup goes wrong, the city finds itself brought to the very brink of destruction. In the wake of the calamity that left no survivors, the autonomous infrastructure still operating the ruined city seeks to restore what was lost. Luckily for it, the Mana-devoid Universe it awoke in holds an unexpected surprise: a planet full of sentient life forms. All capable—with a little help—to become the next generation of Magi. Back on Earth, Millie McArthur is a pregnant out-of-work mechanic struggling with the prospect of moving back in with her parents after leaving her unfaithful fiancé. That is until she finds herself just one of the hundreds that have been shanghaied by the callous artificial constructs still manning the ruins of Magincia. Now, she must struggle to learn magic, compete for resources, get good 'grades,' and fulfill the seemingly arbitrary requirements for her future job in this broken city. All while keeping herself, and her son, alive. Is the miracle of magic really enough to make up for all the pain? The Ruins of Magincia is a dark fantasy that's heavy on the drama (LitRPG aspects are very light). Chapter lengths can be anywhere from 7k-12k and there's no current release schedule as I'm focusing on wrapping up volume one.
