Advertisement
On the continent, ravaged by wars where humans and the other races fight for more powers and territories, lay a village, hidden and cut from the outside world by mountains.
In this village is an ancient race, that never got involved in the struggles for power, that has always been hidden from others, the origins .
This particular race looked like the human, with a difference that appears at puberty, the fang. This simple difference gives this race an unfair advantage on the others races.
By an ancestral rite, each child that have awoken his or her fang is made to hunt by his ou her own means a beast and has to kill it with the fang. This simple action changes the child at the very core, changing his/her race into half of that of the killed beast. Thanks to this rite the origins can adapt to any harsh environment.
The origins used to be in every harsh environment but following the successive generation their bloodline thinned, and now they can only be found in this last village.
In this last village, situated behind mountains, in a dense jungle where poisoned insects and beast are everywhere live this community totally united to survive...or almost.
In this village was a boy living alone since his 5-years old. He never knew his father and his mother left him on his 5th birthday. Even so, he lived with a smile never leaving his face, striving to become strong as it is only with power that he will be able to find his mother.
Since the day he became alone, at first, the villagers helped him gifting him some food from time to time.But following the words of his mother, he started to dislike owning food or favor to some, as such he started to hunt, to pick up fruits and fish to get his own food and trade using what he needed with the villagers using what he got.

When hell freezes over
An ancient seal has been broken and a forgotten power returns to the world gradually, upsetting the balance of normality. People used to say "I'll do that when hell freezes over" jokingly, but now that saying holds more weight in a changing world where people have to get used to the unusual. Ancient creatures hidden in the earth stir from their slumber of centuries, and humanity is not prepared for their ancient powers. Can the human race of steel and fire stand against the creatures created by the most ancient of powers? Is the human race pure enough to band together and form a closed fist as they did centuries ago? Find out in this adventure where Jacob starts off on his way on a normal day towards his job. "I get the feeling this story might be one of those 'diamonds in the rough'. The premise is quite solid, there's plenty of room to flesh out the characters. It's quite easy to get into and be engaged by at the moment, imo. I don't know where the story will go from here, but it's off to a good start me thinks." - Xenower Attribution: The cave picture in the book cover is made by Stanislav Sedov and is licensed under CC-BY-SA-2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ This picture was modified from the original with an overlaid moon and sea picture to be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/ssedov/26342569905 The photographer has no affiliation to Tschallacka nor can be held accountable for the use of this picture the way as it is here.

Twisted Skies
After his master's death, Thurain leaves his rural home behind and travels to Heliana, the cramped city founded on the scientific progress of cultivation. Under a fake name, he aims to enter the Elemental Path Sect, the place of his master's death, to find both his killers, and closure. However, surrounded by the strange and horrible wonders of Heliana and its mixture of heroes and villains, his master's death is not the only murder he may have to solve. --- First attempt at a xianxia novel from me. To shake things up from the usual formula, the setting is more steam-punk than you might expect, and there are elements of murder mystery mixed in with the standard formula (though I'm not entirely sure yet how far to go with it.) I wrote this a while ago for NaNoWriMo, only posting it now for various reasons. Enjoy. Also, cover is highly temporary. I'll probably replace it with something nicer eventually.
