《A Spark in the Wind》Notes for the Readers
Advertisement
Dedicated to the Roman Empire
In universe, this is a 25k verse epic that was passed down orally from generation to generation until somebody decided to write it down and then I decided to adapt that writing into a mere 120k English novel. So you're welcome.
This novel features a love story between two guys (although their romance isn't the central plot, their love for each other is). Still, if you're a homophobe, please step away for your own safety.
There is only one semi-sex scene, but there are a lot of other things that might trigger people: lots of deaths, bullying, PTSD, physics, etc. I don't want to be held responsible for any accidents. Viewer discretion is advised.
There is a magic system in this book, and it's alright to call it a 'magic system', although nobody who actually uses magical powers calls it that, because science.
In the end, I've added five appendices just in case you're interested in my world. Since it is without spoilers, you can read that before you read the main story, or vice-versa.
I was thinking I'd write an Appendix F to pay respect to their elvish languages. But then I realised I'm not Tolkien and I can't do this (not yet anyway).
The book is not a 'dreamy offspring of vivid imagination that requests you to temporarily suspend your beliefs and escape into a fantastic world'. This is a gateway between the universe that I created and our own, and your action of reading it leaks my universe into this one.
This is not a standalone book. All the fantasy books I write (unless stated otherwise) share the same universe as this one, and each of them like this one are ancient stories passed down from previous generations and then then translated.
The stegosaurus has a brain the size of a walnut, and that has absolutely nothing to do with this. Just saying.
Though upvotes are absolutely unnecessary, they put a smile on my face.
Anyway, here's a map of the world just in case you want one (I don't think this site will do enough justice to it, the whole map is 4000x2249 pixels). PM me if you want the bigger version.
Okay, so... that is all for now. I hope you have a good time reading this book, thanks. Enjoy!

Teaching Heroes of Might and Magic
Xianxia, the dream of many. To be reborn in such a world so that you may make yourself a god amongst gods, so that you may rule your own fate and destiny.Well, welcome to reality, because even if you end up in such a realm, who says you get power? Who says you are the one who gets to rule as a god amongst gods? Those stories you read at home on your phone or laptop? Sadly, it just isn't so. Just like Zev, the protagonist of this novel discovered when he was dropped into a world full of Immortals, Monsters, Gods and other monstrous beings. No other worldly power, no other worldly magic, no treasure trove of knowledge or skills was given to him. He was dropped as a mere human, a slightly stronger than average human, into a world where his goal was to simply teach others upon pain of death.-----Full Name of Story [Teaching Heroes of Might and Magic: Mentor of Main Characters]And for the synopsis, I'll first of all state that I am not good at writing them, and this may not have explained the story very well. So I'll just state what the story includes, and what it doesn't. It includes Immortals, demons, gods, etc, you get the idea. What it doesn't include is an actually powerful main character. The main character has a set of unique skills, which include lying, cheating, faking, and all around poker face to get him in and out of situations.Again, the Synopsis needs to be worked on, but for now, that is what it is.

Shard
Wherever you go, whether it be be a bustling metropolis or wild and untamed lands, sentients of every race and creed have some sort of belief in the supernatural. Every culture has stories of mighty beings, incomprehensible in both nature and noticeably, malice. Though many once wished for these stories to be true, they eventually lost much of the significance they once held; yet, the people who told the tales in the first place left them there as lessons. Vital lessons, and more importantly, warnings. Because even though humanity and it's allies had taken to the heavens and prospered like never before, their actions had caused sleeping dragons to stir. Across the universe, a bitter war between mortal and spiritual forces is being waged. Humanity now faces extinction, and if we don't play our cards right, extinction is all but certain. But even though their adversaries have veritable gods among them, humanity still has a few tricks up it's sleeve...

Chronicles of Rathia - The Era of Blood
Welcome to the Chronicles of Rathia. Contained within is a trilogy of stories which are all set in different time periods and with different characters. Each story has its own era from The Era of Blood, The Era of Magic and The Era of Demons. Read along the first in the series which is The Era of Blood where magic is still in an infant stage and where swords can dominate the battle field. In The Era of Blood, you follow along the first main character who had his memories wiped clean except for the most basic things in life. It is up to him to find out how to get his memories back and why they are gone. (If you don't like the story layout or characters, I suggest either just reading through or wait till the next one in the series is being released. With how it's set up, you can enjoy any of the three in the trilogy but of course reading in order will help give a better understanding of the world.) (Side authors note - I'm currently reworking the first several chapters as they are lacklustre to myself since they were originally a draft and not concrete at first. This note will stay here until all the chapters I wanted to fix up are done.)
