《toxic》(important) additional notes
Advertisement
It's been a while since I completed 'toxic', but as I was looking back at the story, a thought occurred to me that was necessary for me to voice out.
I don't support relationships that are unhealthy in any way. Love is not supposed to be harmful, deteriorating to one's mental or physical health, dark, or toxic in any form. We all deserve better love than that -- and I swear to you all, that good, pure, honest love does indeed exist. However, I wrote this story to bring light to the fact that toxic relationships do exist, and sometimes, it is very difficult to leave one.
And every situation is different. No doubt we all struggle to be better people, to improve parts of ourselves that still need working on. Some of us are not good at loving others, because we ourselves are caught in that struggle of being good. And it's okay to struggle, as long as we keep fighting to be better. It isn't uncommon for relationships to involve one or two people who are in the midst of that struggle, and I think that's one of the reasons why it's difficult to leave toxic relationships; sometimes, we need each other to be better, or we think we do -- or, we want to help the ones we love to be better, and do not want to leave them by themselves. Sometimes, we allow ourselves to be hurt, because in the end, we still want to so badly help the other that whatever sacrifice it takes to make them better, we are willing to make.
And while I understand, I urge us all to remember, that though at the time we think there exists some sort of reason that justifies our being in a toxic relationship, in the end, for the sake of happiness of both people, it's better to leave behind these types of love, to start fresh, to continue to try and make ourselves better people, and eventually, find pure and healthy and good love. Because we deserve that. We deserve better.

So, this was just a thing I needed to say. That I wrote this story out of acknowledgement, and sympathy, but not out of agreement. Not out of acceptance. Love better. Be better.
Lots of love.

Covenant Sinners: The Origin of a Demon Queen
Demon-slayer knight Hector Aeronwen became an enemy of all humankind after saving a dying half-demon girl out of pity. Little did he know, his impulsive action had forever changed the course of the world and the fates of many. This is the story about Hector's desperate quest and the beginning of the demoness whose destiny is to shake the world to its very foundation. Author's note: At the risk of spoiling too much of this story, I want to reveal a bit about the core idea behind this work of fiction. I set out with the idea to write a story in the perspective of the second in command of a demon lord, which then would be followed up with large scale kingdom buildings and warring states. But then I asked myself: what past do they have between them for the Demon Lord to have so much faith in her second in command, and for him to be so loyal to such a horrible being? So this is my attempt at writing the origin of those two, who, while hated by all races in the world, still have each other as the only confidant to entrust their life to. If you are like me and want to see where this premise, with a vague destination in mind, will lead to, please have a read and give me your valued feedback!

Corpse Crawler
Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.
