《Hearts gone cold》Rhombus

Here I sit in a square shaped room
There I'll lay in a square shaped tomb
The entry way square, carved with squares
Square awards hang for victory in a circle
Square pictures capturing a round world
Square mirrors reflecting an irregular me
Square walls hold up a square ceiling over head
A square television sucks the life away
Square books imprison entire worlds
A square bed carved from an old oak tree
Square windows allow but a portion of the sun
Square cells confine like that of a prison
In a world full of colors like a prism
Beneath a dome, on a sphere I walk outside and it becomes more clear.

Allocation
Character-driven action/fantasy/mystery/litrpg. The World is a cruel place. You must choose your Skills wisely to learn the truth that lies beyond the Five Territories of Man. The Territories are isolated areas shielded from a hostile environment known as the Mana Expanse. Humanity feels safe knowing that they are protected by the Boundaries from the horrors and monsters which dominate the world outside. Yet on this day, a Boundary fails. -------------------- Alan looked up through the crack in the wooden wall at a hazy sky. The morning sun was just peeking out over the horizon, lighting a world in which there was no longer balance. He watched thin wisps of clouds swirling in the breeze above his small town. The gentle mists moved with no intention, flowing in sweeping circles creating a thin veil yet to be burnt off by the red morning light. Taking a deep shaking breath, Alan shifted his gaze down towards the corpses of everyone he had known. His heart beat faster as his eyes adjusted, the red light above meeting the bloody red scene below. Was he the only one left alive? -------------------- Release Schedule: once a month (minimum)

The Queen's Guard
Friedrich Schreiner is a proud gefreiter of the Queen's Guard, 2nd Company: the finest fighting infantry on the continent (barring the Temple Guard; but please don't bring that up). Service is honourable but, with the Empire on a peacetime footing, terribly boring. Affairs take a dramatic turn for the worse when a mysterious invader uses a forgotten and taboo magical means to breach the capital, plunging the nation into chaos and endangering the royal family. With events spiraling out of control, Friedrich is entrusted with a critical mission. Will hot lead, cold steel, and his determination be enough to see him through? The Queen's Guard is what I'm calling a black powder fantasy story: it's set in a loose equivalent of the early 18th century (plus or minus a few pieces I decided I wanted or didn't want). Magic exists, but not in a spell-slinging sort of way: it's Earth-shaking undertakings or minor enchantments forged in by master craftsmen, the grand working of a secretive cabal or a slight nudge to the course of a blow. I, the eternal optimist, have a full trilogy in mind. The first book is The Prince's Arquebusier, hence the cover and the title disagreeing! This is my shot at 2021's NaNoWriMo and RR Writathon! I've hitherto been terrible at writing long-form fiction, so this is an effort to break out of that by having some accountability in being supposed to post chapters regularly. Here's hoping it works! I have an outline, but not too much detail. I'll do my best to avoid continuity errors, doing anything glaringly stupid, or otherwise fluffing my lines, but I can't make any promises on that. Please do let me know any feedback! Always happy to improve. [participant in the Nov 2021 Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Cable City Saga
The Pillars are vast and their secrets are their own. Whether they were built by some ancient civilisation, or were caused by some unknown phenomena, they extend as far as anyone has ever been able to travel, and on them everyone who has ever lived passed their time from birth to death. Through them weaves the interconnected settlements, both small and huge, of the so-called 'Cable City', with its endless wires and walkways which join together the myriad people living life among the pillars.

The Dungeon's Escapee
An Earthling, a Summer Elf, and the only male Phoenix in existence walk into a Dungeon... Okay, maybe they don't really do it so much for glory but rather because it's their job, and maybe they weren't really together, and some of them were actually walking out. Enter the world of Cespes, a land of magic, mystery, and monsters. Now, the Ancient Gods have gone silent even as magic enters the Golden Era. The Avish Empire might have fallen four thousand years ago, yet much of society remains fragmented, even as they share more cultural ties than ever before. Adventurers have always formed parties. Now, there are Dungeons, dark, grey blobs that dominate Kingdom maps and kill everything within sight. Yet, beyond even these obvious places of danger entwined with fortune, a forgotten evil rears its head after fermenting for millennia. A call for heroes has arrived. Warning: This story is written in the first and third person with multiple POVs. I will try to publish at least once every two weeks, if not more. Cover art by: [email protected]

MEMÓRIAS DE UM DEUS - Ficção [português]
