《Witches Burn at Dawn ✔》Another Author's Note
Advertisement
✧ ✧ ✧
I should have written this note a long time ago, but I tend to shy away from a work once it's finished. Still, as I've been editing Yara's story, I realized I needed to say this.
Witches Burn at Dawn was such a challenge for me. I had no idea if I'd be able to put all the pieces of this puzzle together, if I'd figure the right words, if I'd find readers for this story as it is quite dark and dangerous and emotional.
Every character of WBaD has a part of my heart and soul, they share my fears or my dreams--or both. Yara taught me to fight for your place in the world, to hope. Mir helped restore my faith in second chances. Bogdan showed the value of friendship and reminded me that our world isn't just good and bad but all shades of choices. Kadri inspired me to never give up. Nilam's defiant spirit made me believe in magic again. Laverna kept the party going when no one else could. And Adelard was a voice of conscience when everything went to shit (thanks to Vlad's shenanigans). And above all, they all encouraged me to never forget that there's a fine line between heroes and villains, that sometimes villains can save us--and heroes can doom. That we shouldn't wait for a miracle to save us but be a miracle ourselves.
I'm eternally grateful to everyone who gave this story a chance! Thank you for your reads and votes and comments--they keep me going when nothing else doesn't, truly. Special thanks to my very first readers and fellow writers, , , , , , , , , , , , . Perhaps without knowing, you all helped me make this story a million times better, and I love each and every one of you!
WBaD was intended as a stand-alone, but somewhere along the way, I realized that I've so much more to discover in the city of St. Daktalion: the spooky underworld, the first Vedmaks, the secrets the Angelic Church harbors...And we still haven't properly met Gyoku, Ruslan, and Jasna--and all of them have a story to tell, too.
Hopefully, I'll return to writing a sequel very soon--I already have most of the plot, after all! (Don't even tell me if you want a sequel or not, for I'm writing it sooner or later. Period. Lol).
Yours,
D.

Milton
A Cyberpunk Coming of Age Tale The Apocalypse is ugly. The only lights that work are battery powered or neon. Scroungers kill your neighbors and take control of their bodies. Gang wars run rampant in the perpetual night, as usual, except now, most members have magical spells to defend their turf. Life certainly changed once the Rainbow Letters came. For Milton, things changed for the better. The world became familiar. He could find loot, learn skills, and equip weapons and armor. It was all much easier to understand than the perils of pre-Apocalypse life with its grocery shopping and going outside. Then he discovers Ragnarok, Orchestrator of the Rainbow Letters and all of Milton’s problems. The race to figure out why is on. If Milton is to survive long enough to find answers, he must first be strong enough to confront his worst enemy: himself. * This is work in progress and NOT professionally edited. * ** This story is humorous in the begining, but gets very dark around the turning point. Reader discretion is advised.**

Shura Saga: Burn and Slay - Cultivation, Lightning Bolts, Monsters galore
“If it lives, we can slay it. And then burn it, just to make sure it doesn’t come back from the dead,” she said. “...does that happen often?” he asked. “Slaying? Yeah, duh? It’s what we're here to do in the first place, dummy.” “I meant the coming back from the dead part.” “Eh. More often than you’d like.” “Great. Just great.” Walking away from a life drenched in senseless bloodshed, Raksha embarks on the Warrior’s Pilgrimage. In doing so, he strives to hone his mind, spirit, and martial skills, and he swears to abide by the Ancient Code’s tenets of honor and compassion. He definitely did not expect to run into Sadea, a powerful sorceress who loves silk, jewels, and killing things for fun and profit. Neither did he expect to be stuck with her as they fight murderous mutants, vicious monsters, and demons. She calls their entanglement a beautiful partnership, but it’s the last thing he needs.

Having a Common Game Ability In Normal Life
As long as i can remember, i can see something other people can't see Yes, on the top right of my vision, i have something that looks like a map, does it useful? how does something that blocks 1/32 of my vision to be useful? Does it have to be useful.. right? As i get older, this looks like "mini-map" in a video game that i played, so i decided to call this Mini-map at least I'm not the only one with this kind of thing.. from what I've found, everyone has different ability, for example my little sister can see another person status, there's a person that can heal wounds by eating meat, there's a person that once a day can spin roulette to get reward, there's a person that can jump twice in the air and there's a person that can throw fireballs..... wait a minute!? the story will be slow, since i just write this to train my english anyhow the idea of this story will be if someone can throw a fireball does their hand burns? if someone can jump for 30m can they survive the fall? if a bard play a song that can regen their allies, why’s the enemy isn’t regenerating? if a cleris creates a barrier can their allies attack from inside barrier? and About the first few chapter i know the grammar was really bad but it’ll help me if you guys read the first few chapter and go straight to the last and tell me have i improve or not P.S i hope The world has “common language” feature so everyone speak in the same tongue lol
