《Balance》Author Notes
Advertisement
Welcome to my new book 'Balance' I really appreciate you guys giving it a chance and if you haven't read my other book Take The Stage it would mean the world of you click onto my profile and give it a look!
Firstly I just want to say I'm not a professional author, at the time of writing this book I'm a seventeen year old who writes because she loves to. I'm still in my last year of sixth-form so I try to keep up with regular updates, I aim for two chapters a week 🖤
• Use of mature language
•Scenes of violence
•I am British so I have done as much research as I can but I may still get things wrong
•Sexual innuendos/ Themes
• There may be a few spelling or grammar mistakes- please just leave a small comment and I will sort them out! I proof read but some still slip though occasionally!
•Scenes of domestic abuse and mentions of gang related crimes
•I'm not a whizz with any football or cheer terminology- I know bits but I'm not overly educated in it!
•The LI is a bit of an ass and has a foul mouth
My DMs are always open if people struggle with the themes of my book or if you just want a chat :)
All of my characters and chapters are my ideas. If this is seen anywhere else it has been copied!
I really hope you enjoy my newest book! Please add to your reading lists and give me a follow on my social media accounts where I post extra spoilers and ramble about useless rubbish ;)
Feel free to contact me! Even if you just want a random conversation, I won't bite your head off :))
Thank you for reading!

Magriculture
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is, at best, a very rough draft. I have already had to do one major rewrite and several minor rewrites of entire sections of the story, and it is a virtual certainty I will have to do re-writes again. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will.Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If your looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.

Among Monsters and Men
Mankind has settled the distant world of Orr and devolved into a post apocalyptic late medieval era, at war with its native races. The Crown King has been assassinated by native hands after what seemed would be a tenuous peace. Now his son, Crown Prince Hector, must take the High Throne and renew the call to war. As he uncovers more of the truth, bloody secrets are revealed and even darker revelations...I am inspired by A Game of Thrones, Mark Lawrence's hauntingly dark tone, Joe Abercrombie's gritty combat, and Patrick Rothfuss' beautiful prose; seeking to emulate these elements into my own story.

The Green Egg
Sam is a simple man with simple wants; mastery of powerful magic and the secrets of the universe. What's so weird about that? This is not a grimdark story, though there are instances and chapters of potentially disturbing content. Updates flexibly, currently being rewritten.

Book I – The Perfect Sacrifice: Hired to kill a psychotic recluse, a five inch tall sell-sword begins to suspect that his employers are not what they appear. Book II – The Cheated Thief: As empires clash, a young thief with nowhere left to turn is sucked into the maelstrom of war.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
