《Unveiling the Arcane》Caden
Advertisement
My brother and I watched the unusual girl walk out of the room without even a glance in either of our directions. It was strange for us to not be fawned over by girls, especially Aiden considering his species. We were even acting strangely considering Aiden actually approached a girl and I didn't rob her blind. She was peculiar and far too alluring to be a normal person. She wouldn't have been able to walk onto campus if she was just a person after all. The wards wouldn't have allowed such a thing. She would have passed right over campus from one side of the ward to the other without ever touching school grounds. I glanced over to my brother and knew we were both thinking the same thing which was par for the course of our lives. We just became very interested in getting to know this new girl.
Sure, the school year had just started but there was no mistaking her for anything but the new girl. Sage had just started school here with a bunch of other students that had been attending the same boarding schools since elementary school. There was no doubt she would stick out like a sore thumb. Though it was doubtful that girl could ever blend in. With that long naturally blonde hair down to her hips and those sparkling bright blue eyes there was no way she could ever go unnoticed. She was beautiful in an almost understated way. Other girls worked hard to make sure they looked good, but I doubted that Sage cared what other people thought about her appearance. That just made her even more attractive and I really wanted to spend more time with her.
"I don't know why but I have a very intense need to get to know Sage better." Aiden interrupted my thoughts, making me smile.

"I want to own her." I gave him the half-smile he was so well known for.
"She's a person you can't own a person. Let's get to science before we decide to stalk her," Aiden said.
His continued conversation about Sage made me pause. My brother was never one to hold idle chit-chat about random topics. If he felt the need to say something, you knew it was important to him. The fact that he wanted me to act appropriately with Sage spoke volumes of itself. Generally, Maddox said more than Aiden and he wasn't even born with the ability to speak. I looked back the way that Sage had left before glancing back at Aiden. "If we start a fan club, I call dibs on being the president. We all know what happens under the desk in the oval office." I winked at Aiden.
He smirked at me as he looked back towards where Sage had disappeared thoughtfully. Aiden was almost acting like he had a whole personality hidden in his body and I wondered if Sage would accept a job to stalk my brother to see if this side of him would develop more. I enjoyed seeing my brother happy and interested in something going on in the world around him.
Sage Fleur was going to become our new best friend if I had anything to say about it. I guess it was an okay substitute for owning her; for now. Hopefully, she would be able to shake things up and make my brother a little more interested in life for once. I smirked to myself at the plan forming in my head while my brother and I headed toward our physics class.

Lost souls: Road to Godhood (Isekai) [Writathon Participant]
In a world where mages stand above nobles and even the law, it's not surprising that everyone wants to learn magic. Luz and his brothers are no different. However, their peaceful lives are shattered when a dragon attacks their village. Left with no choice, Luz uses a forbidden spatial spell to save his brothers. The consequences are not pretty--he and his brothers are scattered across different realms. Luz will have to travel to places unknown to reunite his family and gain enough power to take vengeance on the dragon. Armed with a single spell that he can only cast once before his magic reserves are depleted, Luz has his work cut out for him. Being the oldest is never easy. Author note: Please be warned as the book won't be what you might expect since the early chapters of my work are more of a slice of life of an MC, trying to adjust to his new life rather than slaying monsters left and right from the get-go with accelerated growth cheat and missions given by a goddamn system that forges your path, since everyone knows: an MC needs a system that tells one how to move forward. That was a long sentence. Also, some of you might consider my chapter titles as clickbaity, while others like me might consider them: not boring titles, hehehe.

Liberum Book One: Waste Deep
On the planet of Liberum lies the super-massive city of Boris-Valka. Founded and governed by a body of corporate power houses for the last four hundred years, a much older and darker power lies deep within it's sewer system. Teams of sewer maintenance workers nicknamed waste-walkers remove massive fat-burgs and swarms of invasive insects larger than any found on Earth. Most are convicts, rejects, and the occasional suicidal volunteer. A chance encounter hurls Harvel Gillis and his adoptive sister Dibbuk Valez into a centuries old mystery that will change the meaning of existence itself. I'll be updating every other Friday with a new chapter.

The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
