《The Red Snowman》The Ghost
Advertisement
Far in the boundary of the unknown is a place known as a desert of ashes. In all directions, wherever you would look, there are gray dunes with hollowed triangles buried in them. These triangles come in various sizes and symbolize the graves of titans. The larger the triangle, the more impressive was the size of the deceased titan.
The ghost was the last being who remembered the times when titans walked this place. When the ghost was still alive, it used to clean and unbury the graves. The ghost liked what it was doing, it was important to keep the sacred place of burial tidy.
Unfortunately, after the ghost died, he fell asleep for a very long time and nobody would tend to graves. The stones would wither with time and get buried under the sand. When the ghost awoke, it wanted to help to restore the place, but it quickly realized that its hands would go through anything it wanted to touch.
This news made the ghost very sad and he wandered for a very long time, trying to find a way to find a new body, but no matter how far he would go, the place was still an endless desert.
The ghost was very sad about its inability. There was not a moment when his thoughts wouldn't wander off to a very dark place, to the point where every minute of negative emotion would cause spots of black to appear on its white body, until it all turned black.
As the ghost knelt deep into the despair, a large shadow hovered over it. From the sand, emerged a colossal black hand.
The ghost, now fully black, turned to the hand and thought. - I will pray to anything If it can help me.
The black hand knew the ghost's desires and submerged under the sand, disappearing.

A month passed and the ghost remained as it was. It was unmoving, unresponsive, and abandoned all hope.
But the black hand returned and the ghost opened its eyes again, only to spot that hand gave him a gift. It was a body that the ghost could possess.
The ghost stared, unable to comprehend the situation. The body of the creature was unlike anything ghost had seen before. The ghost wasn't scared, but it immediately felt sad.
The ghost needed a body, but he didn't want to desecrate the body of a dead person. It was to be put to the rest, in a grave.
But the ghost couldn't even do that right now.
He had to choose, let the body and graves rot in front of him, or take the body and return to his duties.
The ghost realized that the hand wasn't an ally. It was a great evil. An evil that the ghost made by itself, by its own dark thoughts.
"I'm sorry." - Two astral tears fell down the ground. - "I'm so sorry. Please, forgive me."
The ghost cried for very long, until an oasis formed from his tears and flowers bloomed all around it and the withering body.
"Hello." - Someone spoke to the ghost, but the ghost was too occupied by the despair to overhear it.
"Hello. You suffered for long enough. I'm here to help you." - That someone spoke again, and approached the ghost, smiling.
The ghost lifted its head and noticed a monster, then turned away. - "Go away, monster. I want nothing to do with you."
"I understand." - The monster turned sad. - "But it's my duty to be here. What If I told you, I can save that person for you?"

The ghost turned its eyes at the monsters, no words came out, but he desired it with all his heart.
"I will return it back to life... but remember, that person will not able to see you and you will not be able to hear that person. That's how it needs to be."
The ghost nodded and a golden rainbow appeared over the black hand. The black hand crumbled and turned to dust, then a wind came and carried the dust to the body, repairing it.
The body breathed.
The ghost wanted to thank the monster, but the monster was long gone.

It all goes terribly wrong, and Cairn finds his priorities shifting in the face of unimaginable tragedy. The change of heart comes too late, however, and Cairn dies. He reawakens to find himself transported ten years in the past. He immediately begins to plan for the future, only to discover his killer has somehow followed him. To succeed, Cairn must unite the kingdom and discover the motivation of his killer, using as many tries as it takes. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I exhausted pretty much every time loop story ever written and decided to write my own. You'll see a few similarities here between this story and some existing stories, at least initially. There's a lot of inspiration drawn from both MoL and Re:Zero, though in terms of pathos and darkness, this story leans more towards the latter. Be warned, it is something of a slow burn. The main character will grow and become powerful, but a theme of this story is that power comes slowly and often at great cost.

Stolen by the System
Lost. Vulnerable. Alone. What would you sacrifice to get home? Kidnapped on the cusp of graduation, Jake is dumped into a deadly world of levels and magic. His dreams shattered again, he’s left with a choice: fight or die – and Death won’t let him go that easily. A savage wolf, a horrific secret, and an abhorrent quest make day one the second worst day of his life. Whatever bastard is pulling the strings is due one hell of a reckoning. On the plus side, there’s magic, and Jake’s got the stats to master it. Spells not included, but, hey, creating spells and programming are basically the same thing, right? At least Spellcrafting is slightly less suicidal than trying to stop the encroaching dungeon spawn threat. Because why wouldn’t there be an apocalypse in progress. All the more reason to find his way back fast. Unfortunately, the path home leads right into the heart of danger. Fighting monsters, dungeon delving, solving puzzles – whatever it takes, Jake is finding his way home. He’ll need allies. Powerful allies, like a trainee ranger who struggles to find her hairbrush. Pointy ears, executive dysfunction, and a perilously gutsy moral compass – what more could one want in a Companion? Alas, beggars can’t be choosers. He needs every edge he can get. Going home means finishing his quest. That quest. The quest that doesn’t deserve completion. Save your father, save the world. Update Schedule: Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Temporarily ad hoc.

Dark Seas Leading Demise
Having awakened within a forest with little to no memories of her past and being left with the sole task of surviving…what will Kaltyr do?-----------------------------------If when you're reading this there are only 49 chapters, then for all intents and purposes it's completed. The first 49 chapters are just a prologue, giving a long (135,000+ words) introduction to the main character, the power system, and how she obtained her powers--all within the forest she awoke within. You will not learn why the novel has its name.There are only 5 characters, 1 of which is the MC and only another of which is recurring for a time.I do have plans for future books of the series, but they aren't getting written for a long time because this was just a side project to practice the basics of storytelling and whatnot. I will instead be working on my real projects.This is a slow story that doesn't pander to the audience, but I hope you enjoy it, nonetheless.

Avaria: A Pay To Win Adventure
Avaria is a game like world where the wealthy are the strong. Want more strength, a specific skill or spell, well there's an item for that. If you can get it of course. These items are rare and far from plentiful, hoarded by the wealthy that can afford them. Acquired from Avaria itself, these items are dropped from strong monsters and dungeons, so if someone doesn't have the money, they must get it the hard and dangerous way. Don’t worry though, even the poor are born with at least one skill or spell that could help them in life, apart from the basic mana skills that everyone is born with. Usually these skills and spells are passed down from a parent. Of course, that doesn't mean they can use it. Any skills from birth are locked and unusable to start. Unlockable through great effort and practise, something many are unable to do without some guidance. There is another much quicker way however, through gaining experience from killing monsters and using that experience to unlock it. Adam is a human summoned to this world from earth. What effect can he have on this world when he is given a skill that he knows can be used to help many people, with the desire to do just that. Unfortunately it won't be so easy, as there are many obstacles in his way. It’s a cruel world, but he will have help and doesn’t have to do it alone as he meets new companions and makes friends along the way. Lianna is another human from earth who is summoned the same time as Adam. Though things go much differently for her as she is quickly enslaved, beaten and tortured. Unable to understand what her enslavers are telling her, she has a difficult time following through with the commands given to her. Forced to fight creatures and level up against her will. Authors Note: Aiming to post 1 chapter/week, while writing at least 1 chapter/week.
