《Kaleidoscope》Bittersweet
Advertisement
Her quiet haven, her coral realm – so that she called her old garden full of long twisting paths that vein-went through its big overgrown heart. Light bridges, squeaky stairs and wooden pavilions that still keep traces of long-forgotten memories.
All alone she went – a tall dark figure in a long cloak. Her steps sank in the soft bright carpets of the autumn. Pale colourless eyes glide slowly on the wild blaze of colours. Something is missing here. Something from the past…
Little gesture, white fingers snap in the frosty air – and the burning hawthorn branches bloom with buds of jade-black roses. Compelled by a quick impulse, they fill the air with a rain of fallen petals. Feeling their red silk on her lips she smiles and sighs to herself. Sharp thorns are ready to pierce the thick air yet are unable to pierce her cold heart. One single drop of blood hesitates for a second before breaking into a thousand pieces of red whortleberry.
A scarlet whirlpool of dance makes her memories pass in a wild blur of a kaleidoscope. The curtain falls, covering bare feet of cold trees. She vanishes in the deep silence among the amber-frozen dreams, and the pure snowflakes of ashes cover her light footprints on the ground.

Ancient Bones: The Changed Ones book 1 (Post-Post Apocalypse LitRPG)
Is it truly an RPG Apocalypse... if no one can see the RPG? Generations after the Fall, Mankind has achieved a balance in a world it is no longer the master of. But your prospects in this Malthusian world are limited. Johanna Milton and her friends have an answer: delve into Ancient ruins, avoid Changed beasts and mana pockets, and salvage Ancient materials, collectibles, and trinkets to sell. It pays well if you avoid the perils of the Ancient world. But when they find the skeleton of an Ancient, their lives take a strange turn. Suddenly, Talents straight out of fantasy novels become theirs. While they try to make sense of what happens, eyes turn to them, to the four who seem to break all rules. Or are they merely following them? Because, in the Beyond where he's spent 150 years waiting, one dead Ancient knows the truth. Douglas Moore has played those games often enough when he was alive to make sense of the System that rules the Changed world. He can no longer act on his own, but he has access to the Interface. And four people for which he can bring whatever it takes to face the world. Change is coming. The Changed Ones is a slow-burn litrpg fantasy trilogy (Ancient Bones, Ancient Books, Ancient Bonds) set on Earth, 150 years after the RPG Apocalypse... which mostly failed. It is an homage to the venerable ancient RPGs of the Golden Box era, the Baldur's Gates, and many others, offering adventure where You must gather your party before venturing forth. Keywords: LitRPG, realistic setting, low-leveling, post-post-apocalypse, fantasy earth, slow-burn, secondary POVs, female primary MC, team adventure, worldbuilding. Trigger warnings: casual swearing, adult innuendo (no explicit scenes whatsoever, though). Oh, and potentially a bit of politics. Bonus content: a Litrpg Easter Egg hunt. With lots of eggs across the book, some easy, some hard to find. Current score: 6/20 (20 eggs, 6 found) Publication schedule: on hold until September for book 2.

Understanding a cultivation world
A modern man armed with having read a few novels about cultivation is suddenly transmigrated to a cultivation world. He fights to both survive and thrive in this new archaic world full of arrogant young masters, demonic sects, and incredibly hostile wildlife. Note: In this story, I wanted to focus a lot more on what most novels skim past in regards to cultivation, namely the whole, spiritual growth aspect that seems to be entirely absent from the prosses of obtaining enlightenment the majority of the time, but the method of gaining cultivation. how it works, and what kind of world would develop around it are all things I wish to explore in this novel.
