“What are you doing?” Suddenly, a voice said. Liu Li’s body stiffened. She turned around only to see a gigantic body. Liu Li’s racing heart had slowed down but then, it quickly throbbed anxiously again. Her face was ghastly pale.
Feng Ruqing walked toward Liu Li. There was neither a glistening crown on her head nor dazzling colors on her face. However, her skin was fair and flawless like an exquisite jade.
“Your Highness, Liu Li is too ignorant and had left the laundry area without permission. Let me take her away.” The old servant bowed slightly and paid her respect to the princess.
“Don’t waste your time on those who don’t listen to you. Just kill them.” Feng Ruqing rubbed her wrist as she looked at the old servant with a bright smile.
“Your Highness is right. We should just…” The old servant bowed again respectfully. Before she could finish her words, Feng Ruqing slapped her.
Although Feng Ruqing’s cultivation was low, thanks to her gigantic body, she had slapped the old servant hard across her face. The old servant’s face turned red and swollen and blood trickled from the corner of her lips.
“Your Highness, did I do something wrong?” The old servant clenched her teeth as she asked. Her eyes were filled with resentment but she dared not offend the princess.
“Granny Qin, don’t you know your mistake?” Feng Ruqing sneered.
Granny Qin—the old servant was Noble Consort Rong’s nanny. Ever since Noble Consort Rong had gotten closer to the princess, she had brought Granny Qin into the palace. Granny Qin was responsible for discipline in the princess’s chamber. Hence, Feng Ruqing could tolerate Qing Ling but not Granny Qin.
“This is my chamber. No one is allowed to do this without my permission.” Feng Ruqing’s gaze turned to the imperial guards who were still holding Liu Li’s shoulders.

Both the imperial guards exchanged looks, loosened their grips on Liu Li’s shoulders and took a few steps back. They had gotten used to obeying Granny Qin’s command and had forgotten the real master of this chamber.
“Qing Ling, take Liu Li to change her dress. She will not go back to the laundry. From now on, she is my personal attendant.” Feng Ruqing looked at Liu Li who was lost in wonder and heaved a sigh of relief.
The old princess was such an idiot that she could never distinguish good from evil. She had broken the hearts of the people who had truly cared for her.
Not only was the princess not mad at her, she had allowed her to stay by her side. Was that a dream? Liu Li pinched her cheek hard as tears streamed down her cheeks. It was the tears of joy. She bit back the pain on her cheek and wiped off the tears. It was not a dream. The princess had finally come to her senses.
Feng Ruqing stared at Granny Qin, the corner of her mouth slightly lifted. Her eyes were icy cold, sending a chill down Granny Qin’s spine.
Granny Qin kneeled down before Feng Ruqing, her hands balled into fists.
“Your Highness, please have mercy on me. I truly don’t know what I have done wrong.”
Feng Ruqing took a few steps closer to Granny Qin.
“Firstly, I am the master and you are my servant. When someone looked for me, you did not inform me but had taken action on your own. Secondly, I don’t care what had happened before. From now on, I don’t need those who are overbearing and could not tell right from wrong to stay by my side. Thirdly, you don’t belong to the palace. So, you can either get out the palace or go back to Noble Consort Rong’s chamber.”

Lost In Translation
If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me. You may have heard my Names in the stories, the songs, and the whispers of the road. Perhaps you've even seen me during my travels, speaking to a bird of blue light, or on a city street, performing small acts for coin and repute. Or perhaps you may know me as the Skystrider, who walked with the wind. Or the Voiceless, a man of song without speech. You may know me as the Tutor, who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, or the Traveler, who has walked all the roads of the earth. I am all of these things. And people have branded me a myth. But people don't understand what a myth is. They haven't heard the songs lost to our tongues, nor have they seen the things I've seen. They haven't gone to the places I've gone. My feet have walked the plains, the seas, and the clouds. I have spoken languages unspoken; tongues lost to time. I have sung to the earth, held the moon in my arms, and walked the roads that your heroes hesitate to even mention. I have outwitted Demons. I have danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts the likes of which you have never seen. These are what real myths are. And me? I'm no legend. I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick. Discord link here. [Disclaimer: Book 1 of this story will likely be published in KU by around the start of 2022, so please keep that in mind. Book 2 and onwards will continue here until they are published as well.]

The Worldforge: Warlock Rising
Abandoned as an orphan, Mar was tested for magic by the Mages of Orelm and was found to possess immense magical potential, but when he grew old enough to start his training he found he was unable to cast so much as a single spell! Embarrassed by their mistake, the mages threw him in the library where he read books and tutored the mage students for a bit of money. All the while, he can’t help but envy the the students who are living the life he had so eagerly awaited. But when an object of great and malevolent power promises to make good on all the promises the mages broke to him Mar is thrust into the world of magic. Mar will find that fate had something more than a life confined to the library planned for him after all. Authors Notes: I consider this to be a comming-of-age Sword and Sorcery story based mostly on the style of classic western fantasies. So if that's your thing then I encourage you to take a peek. Something I want to mention though is that the main character starts of pretty wimpy, and that might not be your thing. That being said, if you stick with him he's got a long way to grow. Also, while this version of the story is meant to be fully readable, more dicerning readers may want to wait until I move out of rough draft phase. There may be some inconsistancies with character and plot while I am still in the rough draft phase. I'm sorry for this, but this is my first web novel and from what I've read the best way to get a good novel out is to write write write, and then edit ruthlessly after you're finished with the book, so that's the plan I'm going to follow. Again, this is a rough draft. Everything you are reading is subject to change, including the name, title, and cover photo. This may no longer be the case once I've decided I know where this fiction is going and I have a reasonable understanding of the characters and their behavior. You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with very limited editing. There will be mistakes in the text. I do a quick spell check to take out the worst of the errors, but there will be some I miss. You can point them out in the comments if they are particularly confusing or glaring and I will try to fix them, however I am not overly concerned about minor errors as this is not the final draft by any means.

The End
There are five days left. The End is a miracle 10,000 years in the making that will free all from the confines of the world. The gods will soon be born. There is nothing that can be done about this. Not a webnovel, but a screenplay, submitted as my dissertation for my screenwriting degree. Sort of experimental. I have learned that I dislike writing screenplays, but all the same, I thought I'd post it anyway so it's at least worth something that way.

What Lies In Between
Earth is on the tail end of its recovery after suffering near-apocalyptic events. Catastrophic storms and sudden, dramatic shifts of the tectonic plates almost destroyed modern society. And to make matters worse, a mysterious disease that would later become known as the Deep Sleep Syndrome swept through the population. Penthus Argyris is one such person affected by this illness. Abandoned by his mother—his last living relative—he wastes away in a hospital ward. It was lonely, but Pent had grown used to it. He no longer dreamed of traveling across the earth to explore the ruins of the fallen nations; the world outside his sterile white cage was all but a distant fantasy. Pent had all but come to terms with his lot in life—that is until his adopted cousin showed up out of the blue with some surprising news… News that would shake the tentative foundation that Humanity had only just managed to piece together.
