《Reborn as the Duke’s Daughter ~ The Goddesses are Ruining my Life!》Ch. 7 – A Goddess Plans My Future?! Pt. 1
Advertisement
Gathering herself after her temporary breakdown, Maven picked herself up off the floor and mustered her courage to face the reality - she was now, kind of, a demigoddess. Biting her thumb in frustration as she psyched herself up, Maven continued thinking to herself. Okay, I can deal with that. I can definitely handle the whole ‘demigod’ thing. I just need to keep that a secret and never show off any of weirdness or abnormal power. Totally easy. Then, I just need to remove the corruption of an entire country, change how demon’s are perceived by the entire world, and protect the world from aliens or godly invaders. I can totally do all that while keeping my identity secret. Yep, totally! I swear, once all this is over, I will definitely, definitely retire to the countryside and live a quiet life as a normal girl! Feeling much better after her internal monologue, having decided on a very reasonable (lol) goal for the future, Maven turned to the goddesses and said, “Okay! I’m ready, let’s do this!” Kannon, smiling a bit awkwardly after sensing that Maven thoughts had, perhaps, become a bit crooked from all the stress. Kannon responded with a halting voice, “S-Sure. I-I’m glad to see you motivated. I believe in you Maven!” Tired of being left out of the conversation, Henna jumped in at this point by saying, “Just some quick points before we send you off to be reincarnated down on Avalon…” Maven shrunk in on herself and gulped nervously, but quickly straightened her shoulders in confidence after remembering her foolproof plan. Grinning naughtily at Maven, “So, once you leave the Divine Realm you will officially begin your reincarnation. The plan is to have you begin life anew as the first daughter of a Ducal house in the human nation - the house of Daegal. The Lady of the house, Farissa, conveniently just conceived and a soul has yet to take root in the new life. I shall guide your soul on its journey through Avalon’s circle of reincarnation and the blessing Kannon gave you will ensure that you are born healthily.” A bit hesitant at having to start her new life from the very beginning of the starting line, Maven asked Henna, “Do you really have to start me off as a child in the womb? I really don’t want to begin my awesome new life in a magical world as a baby.” Henna laughed at Maven’s misgivings, “Fufufu, no need to worry my dear. Though you will be experiencing your life from the very beginning, your memory and power will remain dormant until your body is mature enough to handle the burden.” Mouth curling into a mocking smile, Henna continued, “You certainly won’t have to experience the delicious embarrassment of your diaper period. No, that joy will belong to us alone. I promise not to laugh… too much.” Shaking her head in denial at the idea of the goddesses watching her infant self and laughing at her foolishness, Maven decided it was safest for her mental health to just not think about it. She hurriedly tried to urge Henna onward, “M-Moving on… Is there anything else I need to know before I go down there?” Kannon, taking pity on her, took over the conversation from there, “There won’t be much for you to do for several years once you’re reborn. I’d recommend you practice magic, acclimate yourself to your divine spark and the plentiful mana available on Avalon. You’ll be in a unique position, with the memories and mental fortitude of an adult, so you should be able to make the most of the growth potential of a child." "I took a peek at the stories and games of your old world, but there isn’t anything so strict and limiting as a skill system here. As long as you have the proper attribute, expend the minimum amount of power, and can imagine what you want - anything is possible. Your potential is limitless, so I recommend you experiment yourself. I can help you with the light and life attributes and Henna, if she can hold herself back from teasing you, should be able to help you learn the basics of dark and death - but neither of us know anything about the new element created from blending the two, it’s unique to you alone.”

The Kingdom of Malinas (YA Fantasy)
Fifteen-year-old Sorrel returns to her home to find it burned and most of her people taken as slaves by Corrinus, the new ruler of Malinas. She's devastated to find her mother is amongst them and swears to rescue her. But her older brother Leif sends her to seek an army, while he remains with the survivors, teaching them to fight. It hurts that everyone says she's too small and too weak to fight, because she wants so much to be like her dead father - a great warrior - but she does as she's told. She travels across country with her seer friend and faces many dangers – from mysterious grey wraiths to the crazed follower of Corrinus. She set out to find an army but instead, she returns with a dragon. ** This was one of the very first novels I ever wrote. I wrote this when I was 16/17 (which was many years ago now!) on a really old PC I called Phylis. I remember having to print it out on an old ribbon printer to submit it to publishers - this was back before esubs were the norm! It never got picked up and I ended up self publishing it. I hope you enjoy.

On the day deciding his future at the prestigious Setro Academy, the sky changes and Victor and the rest of his club are thrown into another world.

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK TWO: One Cold Trail)
After their fateful misadventure in the mountainous Norther Reaches of RUNDAO, a dark new threat to all of RUNDAO has been revealed to the mercenary band of THE CREEPING BAM and their newest member, half-orc bandit SHAYLINE SWIFT-KILL. Returning their hard-won cargo to THE SILVER ORDER in their city stronghold in BAVAT, they find their well-deserved rest will have to rest – half-elf wizard GAEL FOXTAIL’s father has disappeared while performing an investigation in the coastal city of UNTERMER, and it’s up to our motley crew to find him. As a son of Untermer, wily bakaneko thief ART OF SHADOWS is the perfect choice to lead the way, but he has ghosts of his own to face as their investigation brings them into the orbit of the THIEVES GUILD. But there are daker forces at work here, and as they uncover a dark conspiracy and form an uneasy alliance with a trio of tough sellswords with their own stake in the game, led by dwarven warrior THELGAEWYNN FROSTFORGE, the Creeping Bam begin to suspect this may be connected to that unfinished business they started back up north … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.
