My true loves gave to me…
Four handpicked gifts
Three unique Stories
Two different households
And one giant excuse!
Cassie sighed as she looked at the last of the shopping she had to do.
"Okay, those fucks can get away from me now. Hopefully they don't call me upset with something they did." She sighed and leaned back in her chair. "I swear the only thing I want for Christmas is to be left alone." She heard a knock at her door. She waited a second before going to see who it was. When she got to the door, she found four presents at her doorstep. There was a card with four names on it.
"From Shugi, Koto, Aki, and Brayleigh… like why though?" She picked them all up and brought them inside, "But thanks I guess." She placed them all under her tree before looking elsewhere in her home. "Ok, I'll finish decorating now."
Outside her apartment, there were the four males the gifts belonged to.
"She took them!" Koto said happily.
"Quiet down before she hears you." Shugi said.
"I figured she'd just ignore it." Brayleigh said with a chuckle.
"Me too." Shugi added.
"Okay, but do we call her?"
"Nah, I say we just leave her alone now." Brayleigh said, turning to leave.
"Seriously?" Koto said, baffled.
"Yeah, Christmas will be over soon and we'll be able to see her normally soon enough." Koto sighed and went with them. As they did, they saw someone else heading up the stairs.
"Hayate?"

Void Breaker
Note: Sadly, this story is currently on hiatus :( Elizabeth Sayler had lost everything in the bombing of Reaver Stadium. Her career, her fame, her power — all of it vanished the moment she lost use of her legs. Now, she's beginning to lose hope of ever healing herself… until her world integrates into the Void. When the apocalypse comes in a flurry of System messages, everyone on earth is given a choice: give up what they value most in themselves, and acquire a path to their heart’s greatest desire. Most would hesitate, but for Liz? She has nothing to lose, and absolutely everything to gain. Armed with newfound powers in a world teeming with monsters, she’s determined to not only survive, but to somehow break the Void’s endless assault. * * * This is a small note about the portrayal of disability in this story. As much research as I do and as many people as I ask, I will in the end only be able to understand a small portion of paraplegia and similar disabilities. Therefore, if there is anything particularly disrespectful, please do not hesitate to contact me. I always intended to portray disability in a respectful way in this story, but please know that Liz as a character does not start out with a healthy view of disability. This is intentional, and a large part of her character development comes from this view changing as she learns. Disability is not something she simply "discards" at the beginning of the story, but an ongoing theme and a part of her journey.

Epoch: An NPC's Tale
Epoch is a slow-burn LitRPG/Gamelit novel that tells the story of Luke, later named Lucius—a natural inhabitant of the game-like realm of Elyssia where thousands upon thousands of detached, virtually unkillable entities known as the Players were suddenly introduced right after the dusk of the magnificent Age of Heroes. Shortly after the Players arrived, the balance of power in Elyssia instantly shifted. Kingdoms fell, wars were waged, alliances between races were made, and Lucius, after ten years of training in captivity, found himself being used as a pawn in a prophecy that he had no intention to fulfill. With aspirations and desires of his own, Lucius must find a way to cautiously adapt to the drastic changes in the very foundations of the realm after being sent 300 years into a future that was forever altered by the outcome of the war that his captors had lost and the Players won in a victory that resounded throughout the ages, all for a terrible price. Author's Note As an avid fan of the LitRPG genre myself, I wrote this novel with character progression, heavy Gamelit elements, and some degree of world-building in mind. If you like these, please feel free to give this novel a try. Oh, and the MC is also an NPC, in a sense. And wait, isn't this also an isekai story? Well, it's all a bit complicated to explain here. Maybe you should start reading now?
