Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
8 195Hellspawn
When Lake wakes up in hell, he's a little upset. All those horrifying demons outside aren't helping his mood, and neither is the fact that he has no food and water. But at least he has a game UI to help him out! Hopefully the situation doesn't get worse from here...
8 89What I'll Become
Born to nothing as nothing I led a bland life full of depression and suicidal thoughts, but maybe I can become something else. One goal to die could be over looked if only.....
8 221The Three Realms
Immortals start playing their games from the shadows, something they haven't done in hundreds of years. Empires are rising and falling like never before in all three realms, and the dragons are pondering war. Gods are spotted more and old secrets are being revealed. Han always wanted to do more than just make swords in a smith in Amonis. Then he saved the life of a giant by accident, and he got exactly what he wanted. The Gazaarian Empire decided to conquer Amonis, and before he knows it, Han finds himself a pawn in a larger game- adventuring through faraway places, saving thousands, and battling mages of legend. Or running away from them, at least. ---- Updates at least once a week (with around 3K words), but more when I am free. Please leave comments and reviews, it'll help a ton. If you like epic fantasy with gods, magic, empires, adventures, many species etc with a great plot and a setting of gods manipulating everything for their own purposes, this is for you.
