《The Puppeteer (dropped)》Prologue The Rich Dreamer
Advertisement
In recent year’s technology jumped in leaps and bounds after the company Virtual Works Inc. released the first virtual reality capsule as well as the first game came out a month after that. This put them at the pinnacle of the gaming industry, since none of the others knew how to work the technology. The game is simply known as Second Life. The world was skeptical with this at first but after the first videos from the capsule recordings were released they spread like wildfire. It didn’t take long for everyone to rush the stores to buy and begin, almost everyone.
In the house of current richest man on the planet, the son of the CEO of Virtual Works, Malcolm Brim, sat their looking at the screen of the computer which showed chats about Second Life. Now you’re wondering why isn’t he playing right, well at the time the game was released he was at 16 years of age and the game was prohibited to anyone below 18 because of the dangers it would cause the younger population of the planet but after 2 or 3 months some interviews on TV and some special videos made by the AI that runs the game which showed monstrous beings like Dragons and minotaur’s fighting each other in a bloody battle to the death only to have some other kind of monstrosity to finish them off, no one after that questioned the restriction except Malcolm but even so he wasn’t allowed even if he snuck into one of his families capsules.
Now, after a boring 2 years reading how great the game was he finally got his wish to play, which is something rare for him to get what he wanted, most of his life he wasn’t allowed and could only do what his parents wanted that was why he wanted so much to enter Second Life where he could stay far from his parents reach at least for a while. Now what did he want, if you though warrior, mage, thief, berserker or anything that involved directly rushing to your death to hunt rabbits or something like that at the start of the game then you’re wrong. What he wanted ever since he was a kid was to be a puppeteer, as weird as that sounds even more so coming from someone so rich, but as life wasn’t kind he wasn’t allowed but here he had plans to take it a step further.

The Last Marshal
Weird West Fantasy Noir Once the Republic Marshals brought order to the chaotic lands along the Frontier, facing dangers both human and supernatural with ancient wisdom and a six-gun —but that was a long time ago. Destroyed by conspiracy and betrayal, all that remains of that secretive order is one nameless man on a trek though the West seeking revenge on the woman he blames for the Marshals' fall and his disgrace. When a visitor from our world joins him on his journey, they together must confront the horrors of a strange land, the mysteries of the past and the real meaning of their quest for justice. The world of Tellus is what 19th Century Earth would have looked like if the stories of Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Lovecraft and William Hope Hodgeson were real. History in this world moves slower. The old faiths persist and civilization never conquered the dark corners of the map, at least not without being inextricably changed. Technology and culture takes a little longer to evolve in this land, as people here tend to spend more time pursuing their elaborate revenge plots or trying to avoid being the next sacrifice to the Outer Gods rather than advancing science or statecraft. Imagine Cormac McCarthy by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs, though a little less testosterone-drenched than that description would imply. Three caveats: First, there are deep mysteries here, including how such a world came to be and who controls it. Second, this world is not wholly unconnected from our own. There is a historical point of divergence, but in the distant past. To paraphrase Twain: history in this world is not a repeat of our own, but it does often rhyme. And finally, this is not a setting that lends itself to happy endings.

Soul Blood (*On Hold*)
All Saorise Caramort wanted in life was to live peacefully. She had no ambitions despite the freedom afforded to her, but that was just the way of the East.That all comes crashing down when her mother dies, and those other, greedier countries of the West decide they want a slice of her people's ten-thousand-year-old Forest of abundance. Her people fight back and hold out as they always have. No one takes the East without their permission. But something is stirring in the West, something not even those hardy and proud people in the East can defend against... Peter Octavius Westfold, Crown Prince of Wendolan, has boded his time in the shadows, carefully constructing the facade of the drunken, whoring, useless prince of the Warmongering nation of Wendolan since he was old enough to understand what his bloodline meant. Now, his father having finally died, he takes his throne much to the disgust of his people and court...then achieves in just a month what his father failed to do in three years. He just didn't count on meeting an obstacle to his grand ambitions at the negotiations table. Peter and Saorise come from very different cultures and value vastly different things. But as it becomes clear that something far older and far more dangerous than themselves is stirring, they have no choice but to meet each other as equals. For if they cannot combine the ancient blood within their very souls, no one will stand a chance... *31/12/2020 Update: This book will be on hold for a while for author to stock chapters and prioritise other works*

Casa do Diaño: The Fool
As Thomas Hobbes once said, "Humans are driven by a perpetual and restless desire for power." Given the heavily moral standards society has placed on its inhabitants for centuries, it's no wonder many people deny their internal need to be in control of something. "Oh, we do not want to rule the world at all! We just want to live happy and die happy!" Of course, the irony there is that, by wanting a happy future, you are actually projecting your own desires and opinions into what the world should be like. Hence your inner monarch banging his/her scepter for all their subjects to hear. Though to be fair, this is a pretty small, small example. Why settle for small? Why not go the extra mile and become that vicious monarch pounding his scepter at his feet? This is the story of a young man by the name of Genghis Dillinger Boy. There are quite a few words that can describe Genghis. Anarchist. Libertine. Criminal. Psychopath. He has denied the moral standards society has set for him and constantly lives his life seeking more and more power. Once an unexpected turn occurs in his life, he uses it as an excuse to burn his bridges and move him and his bride to a mysterious island known as Casa do Diaño. Genghis vows to burn the old world to the ground and watch as his brand new world arises from the ashes. But what if he's biting off more than he can chew? After all, monsters like Genghis are not the only kind of monsters lurking in the House of the Devil...
