The city of Zenith, second prince mansion.
Night illuminated the sky. Sound of water flowed from the top of the waterfall. Insects were emitting sounds while chirping melody fills the air. One could stay and relax with this serene like atmosphere.
Inside a small hut near the waterfall, there was a young man who was sleeping peacefully in his bed.
"What a relaxing sound. I feel like I could stay and enjoy this forever." Hayden slowly opened his eyes as he was trying to get up. He took his time and stared at the small yet clean room.
"Strange. Where am I? Am I dreaming?" Hayden was a bit confused as he stared at the interior of the room. The furniture looked ancient and one can tell that all these kinds of items were quite rare on earth.

Hayden started pinching his cheeks, hoping that this was a dream. "Ouch, damn this is not a dream. What happened to me? Why am I here?" He started thinking, one can see that a hint of frustration appeared on his face.
"I remembered that I got in an accident before and I nearly died. I was supposed to be inside of a hospital if I survived. However, what is this place?" Hayden stared dumbfoundedly.
Silence enveloped the room. After some time, Hayden thought that something was quite strange. He felt like he was inside of many typical fantasy games that he had usually played before. Well, thinking was useless so he decided to wake up and search the surroundings items, hoping that he could find some clues.
Hayden went to the table where many kinds of books and documents were being kept. He opened the books one after another, trying to read over them in hopes of getting more information. "These writings..." Hayden was startled, he thought he never saw this kind of writings even on earth before, but something strange happened afterward.
"This writing is abnormally complicated, but I wonder why I feel like I can understand it." Hayden was lost in thought. Many strange things had happened, yet somehow he couldn't decipher and comprehend the meaning or the cause behind all of this. Well he thought that it was a pity, but since nothing bad happened to him, he started to forget it and think that maybe sooner or later he will know the truth. But of course, not anytime sooner.
"The only thing written in this book is only a piece of information about one kingdom, the kingdom of Zenith, and it says here that the owner of this book is the second prince of Zenith. Interesting, maybe I will meet him soon." Hayden smiled thinly.

As Hayden was starting to get interested in some books, he noticed that there was a big square, yet old looking mirror in front of his face. At first, he didn't pay attention nor care about it. However, after some time, Hayden realized that there was something odd. He closed the book and began to inspect the mirror.
"What the hell!!!" Shouted Hayden astonishedly.

A Martial Odyssey
Our community discord. With one step, an ocean is crossed. With one swing, an immortal is slain. Grisla Orlith's name has been in contention for centuries; millenia. Has he ever existed? Is it true about him? They hear of the future, but they don't know his past. Assumed as a genius from heaven, a warrior without peer. But back then, from those that knew of him... only saw a worthless boy. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] For those not in the know, this is a book with some western and eastern fantasy sprinkled in. This is a work coming from someone who's a long time fan of the genre and would like to add my own flavor and spin to it, and I particularly dislike the shallow xianxia characterization and development. To counteract that is about eighty percent of the reason I'm writing this. The beginning might be a slow burn but I promise I'm bringing up some awesome scenes and moments once you're invested. Again, this is not some fast food xianxia. But I can say that as a lover of the genre I won't be completely shying away from the stuff that got myself hooked into it in the first place. DISCORD NOW AVAILABILE!

Quest of the Seal Bearers - Book 1: The Warriors Return
On the distant world of Mendala, a rash of mysterious attacks have left many towns destroyed, and there are rumors of an army of monsters. Fantasma, leader of the global government, and his colleagues are determined to find cause of these attacks. but the search for answers points them to an ancient relic, The Book of War, a cursed artifact that can create indestructible creatures loyal to its master. It’s been over twelve thousand years since the Book of War was last opened. It was believed to be destroyed during the Great War by the Twelve Warriors and Daughter of the Sun at the cost of their lives. Now, it seems the book has resurfaced, and its new master is seeking to forever tip the balance of power. The stage is being set for another Great War but who can stop the Book of War once and for all? Meanwhile on Earth, the teen members of Greengale’s Action and Adventure Club are preparing for their yearly trip when they suddenly stumble upon a secret their parents have been keeping for years. Now their world is being turned upside down as they struggle to understand the legacy that ties their fate to Mendala and the Book of War. Is their destiny set in stone, or will they forge a different path? No matter what, their choices will bring forth a new era for Mendala. ------------------------------ If you love vast fantasy worlds, rich, fleshed-out characters, and a adventure where your'e constantly discovering new things along the way, then this is definitely a story you'll enjoy. This is a slow-burn high fantasy / adventure with many characters and intersecting plotlines. It’s a quest so lots of adventuring, exploring, and character moments, but not a ton of fighting/action (though there are definitely some great fight scenes as payoff to the buildup). Because it’s a fantasy world with lots of people and new concepts, I try to make it easy so that you don’t have to memorize anything. The narrative will constantly remind you of important people/places/concepts as you keep moving forward. Some things won’t be fully explained right at the beginning to avoid information overload. My goal is that the reader will learn things organically as the story progresses. I use two mechanisms to help with the intersecting plotlines. - Each chapter is named for the (main) plotline it’s following and which part. - At the beginning of the chapter, and anytime there is a scene shift, the location is listed. Also, though this is definitely a portal-fantasy (isekai) it’s different from the standard isekai, especially since the world transfer doesn’t happen immediately. It’s not Lit-RPG but characters gain powers and grow over time. Also, it’s a group of teens that transfer, not just one central character. All of the teens are distinct characters, with their own character-arcs, relationships, powers, growth etc. Hopefully you’ll find this interesting as you’ll see the world and story from multiple perspectives. The story is always in 3rd Person (Omniscient) POV so that it’s not jarring as perspectives shift.
