《An old mans tale!》From Dusk Till Dawn!
Advertisement
"We have had fun on this trip and I would like to think that you kids learned a thing or two. Now this is our last day and night so how about we make a bonfire and stay up all night watching the stars while eating the game we have caught and all the fish we can catch?"
"In the morning we will cross the lake and at about 4:45 the cars will be there to pick us up. That will give us plenty of time to do what ever we wish on the way."
"Sounds like fun to me, what do you say? Well it will take some doing to get done but we have all day to gather enough firewood. Lets get started."
"Now that is a good fire going right there. How about some storys for the trip. I went first last time so how about the youngest of us goes first this time."
"I have to admit that your storys have been scary but I think I can top you yet!"
I have told you of fires and how they burn right? Well when they rage out of control the consume all in there path. They are hungry beast that will destroy everything they touch. When they come for you they leave only 2 options. RUN or ROAST!
In places of great death from the flames sprits can linger. Those filled with hatred that burns long after even their memory is gone from this world. Now they say that up north there is a building where they used to lock the women in during their shift. To stop them from cutting out early you understand?
Well when the fire started they had no way of getting out. That building turned into a Great Big Old Oven. They rosted till the last one died.
This left their resentment and hatred in the town and to this day they kill anyone who would lock all the doors in flames. Burning them to death. That is why they always leave an exit for themselves even in their own homes.
Its that or roast alive!

A Standard Model of Magic
The world ended, and magic came back. The part our parents didn't expect, was for Science to break on reentry. Twenty years after the apocalypse, with our nations dismantled and hidden continents unearthed, a new generation has grown up in the wreckage of 21st century civilization. For us, the fantastic is at our doorstep and we have had no choice but to fight back. Meanwhile, the laws of nature bend and break at the whims of immortal gods, all of which are now dead and none of which are content to stay that way. But we cannot afford to give up. We are the stewards of a rewritten century, in which a little luck and a whole lot of magic might make anything possible – maybe even a world better than the one we lost. A Standard Model of Magic is a complete overhaul of my old story A Storm in the Fall. I'm afraid I was unhappy with the LitRPG elements, which I don't mind reading, but I apparently loath writing. Sorry. Once I'd made the choice to decouple the story from the OF that inspired it and reconfigure the magic system to my satisfaction, little of the original plotline survived. I will be salvaging most of my original characters, and I will keep some elements which are endemic to the genre, but that is all. I don't have an update schedule which I can commit to yet, but I will try to maintain a weekly pace.(This is currently RoyalRoad exclusive, since I'm lazy. If you find it posted elsewhere, it wasn't me and it wasn't with permission) If you're interested, I've set up a discord.

Hunter X Hunter: Royalty and the World Beyond
In the HXH World, with some variations. Fearsome monsters, exotic creatures, vast riches, hidden treasures, evil enclaves, unexplored lands - the word "unknown" holds a captivating magic. And some incredible people are drawn to that magic, desiring it from the very depths of their soul. These people are called Hunters. Note: I know, I know, basic synopsis. I'll change it later once I think of something different. For now, just buckle up and enjoy the story!

The Omnexus Chronicles
All things are inextricably bound to the Omnexus, and through it to all other things. What if every human, and not just a special few, had an equal power to shape elemental energies at their fingertips? When everyone is super-human, what does it mean to be human? This is a series of short stories set in a world where all people are born with an ability simply called the "Touch". With it comes control of physical energies, and even flora and fauna. The people you will meet in these tales are not heroes. They are neither chosen ones nor dark lords. They are common folk - but their struggles and challenges are anything but common. Walk this world in their shoes, and discover nuanced and detailed new realms; with powers, mystical and misunderstood; creatures, outlandish and obscure… and secrets, buried dark and deep.
