《The boy who wished he hadn't lived》"Seeking Help"
Advertisement
Harry walked out of the room and sev looked really confused "what are you two talking about? The 'Golden boy' doesn't have problems and you two hate eachother,what's going on?" questioned sev "Well...i'm really glad he agread to let me tell you." "Tell me what?" asked sev "Tell you that we were all wrong about him! He isn't spoiled and bratty! He's abused and depressed!" i yelled at sev making him look bewildered "What do you mean? He's not abused or depressed,he couldn't be,he's Harry Potter!" sev said "Yeah well first of all he lives with muggles so they don't give a damm that he's Harry Potter and second he has the scars and bruises to prove it!" i said back "He looks fine to me." said sev "That's because he wears a glamour so no one can see it. In truth he's really skinny because his so called 'family' doesn't bother to let him eat over the summer and they've physically and emotionally abused him since he was 2 years old!" i said now yelling. Sev looked shocked to say the least.
I can't beleive what i'm hearing,the precious golden boy,abused and starved! It just didn't make sense.but the thing that worried and shocked me the most was the fact that no one,not even myself,realized it! Yes he wears a glamour but there are other signs of abuse other than the actual scars,like if they're skiddish or flinch everytime someone touches them,which now that i think about it he does! And if he's depressed and has managed to hide it for so long that can only make him more depressed! "I...i can't beleive it. He's been going through all of this and no one noticed except for you." i almost whispered "No,even i didn't notice,i was just walking around a muggle neighbor hood and i saw him sitting at a park with cuts and bruises everywhere and he was super skinny. He ran before i could ask him anything so i just comfronted him on the train,it took a while but he finally told me what's going on,oh and he cuts himself too." said draco. At this point i had tears in my eyes "He cuts himself? Oh no,that poor boy." i say "Sev,i need you to tell Dumbledor about this and make sure that he never has to go back to those muggles ever again." said draco with a pleading tone in his voice "Of course,i'll go to Dumbledore right now and make sure that he doesn't have to go back." i say "Now go and get some rest,don't worry i'll make sure that he's safe and that he gets help." i say to reassure him "Ok,thanks sev,i'm really happy you could help,i'll go to bed now." and with that draco left and i emediately made my way to the headmaster's office. "Lemon drops" i say and the gargoyle moves away showing the moving stair case that leads to the headmaster's office. Once i was at the door i knocked "Come in" i hear dumbledore say so i open the door and emediately start talking "Are you aware of how Harry Potter is being treated by his 'family'?" i ask,he looks confused for a second and then answers "Of course,he's being treated like a prince." said dumbledore with slight amusement in his voice "I'm afraid that's where your wrong sir,Harry is not being treated like a prince he's being abused,neglected,and starved." i say with venom in my voice "What on earth are you talking about?" Dumbledore asks,the amusement gone from his voice "I'm saying that Harry has been abused by his relatives since he was two and he is in deep depression and cuts himself because of it." i say "Oh...oh my...i-i didin't know i assure you,he will be removed from that household emediately and i will make sure that the Dursleys all go to jail." he said "thank you,but sadly we can only send Vernon to jail since he's the only one that actually abused him,the other two just watched and even though what they did was horrible it's not punishable by law so only Vernon can go to jail." i said "oh well then he will go to jail and the other two...well we have our own ways of punishing people,don't we severus?" he said "Yes we do. I'll get right on that." i said with a smirk "now the only thing left is where Harry will stay." said dumbledore "would you be willing to take him,severus?" he asked with the amuement back in his voice "umm...well i could take him but...i'm not sure that he'd agree with it,if you haven't noticed we don't quite get along." i admitted "well we'll explain the situation to him and then we'll tell him that you volunteered to be his guardian,if he agrees then all is well,if he doesn't then we'll find someone else." he said "ok,that sounds like a good plan,now talk to the ministry and get him out of that house,meanwhile i'll do everything i can to make sure that he doesn't hurt himself anymore." i said,and with that i walked out of his office.

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress. Further Arcs are still in the sketching and idea collection phase.

A Sky of Star and Strength
Jake was just an intelligent kid living a pretty regular life in Mill Creek, Washington. Then the apocalypse happens. Now with his Dad out of the country and totally in yet out his element, this is his story. My take on a system apocalypse based around "life force" as a currency. The main character will have a special power (as will most of the other characters) and be rather OP, you have been warned. Like many of the authors on this site I have no formal writing experience so writing tips and grammar corrections are much appreciated :)
