Special Chapter: Jungkook's Letter to Taehyung.
Hello, Taehyung. Happy Birthday :)
The upper part of the message is written the night before your birthday. I'm up all night debating whether to send you the old letter I've been keeping, the one I did about a month or two ago in advance.
When we were still together.
But I know now is not the time to be sad about that.
I want to confess something, can I?
I had no sleep since the day you dumped me on that courtyard. But I'm not blaming you for doing so, I think I deserve it well.
It's just that... I can't stop thinking about you.
Let me just attach the letter I made months ago, I can't continue writing.
[ taehyung saw tear stain droplets exactly where the letter ended. behind the note was another paper that seemed a bit old and stocked, the one jungkook was probably talking about. ]
Happy Birthday to my sweetest ball of sunshine, Taehyung!
That was cringy, I'm sorry. But anyways, am I not too excited? Your actual birthday is next month, though I'm already stressing out about what to give you.
Not that it's a hassle! I just want it to be memorable. How about we go sky diving? :)
Wait, that was a joke. You know I can't afford anything on my own.
My parents are... abroad. Our house is empty because I stay in this dorm for faster travel to school.
What if I gift myself to you on your birthday? ;)
THAT WAS A SMILEY FACE! DON'T BE DECEIVED BY THIS PEN'S STUPID INK.
I know, I'm still a baby.
Your baby though :)
To be honest, my ideal birthday gift to you is just us acting lazy and cuddling under the same blanket the whole day.

I will sing into your ears and tickle you until you let me kiss you for the hundredth time.
But still, I will try my best to at least gift something to you. Something that will make you show that bright smile on your face elsewhere not just when you're hidden with me.
Though I know that our relationship is also keeping you from being happy
It's confusing right?
[ the old letter ends here., and the new letter continues.]
I never liked commitment.
I don't want to be attached to somebody, I have my reasons.
But meeting you, that was something new.
The love I felt for you was different, I want to give my everything to you, if you'll let me to.
Tae, I will not force you to come back if being distant and away from me will grant you happiness.
Though, can we be friends?
I can still love you, but from afar.
You don't have to be burdened by our relationship anymore. This time, I'll be the one to adjust and love you while you pretend to not know me.
Just like how you always did.
Hey Taehyung?
I still love you, sincerely.
Ignore me after this if you want, but I want you to know that...
You're my most beautiful moment in life.
that was jungkook's letter. taehyung is reading it at the moment in this story too. how do you think will he react? and if you were him, how would you react?

Cultivating Earth [Hiatus]
[This fiction is on indefinite hiatus. I'm currently acting as a 24-hour caregiver for my step-father who had a massive heart attack. I apologize for disappearing so quickly, but sometimes that's just life. I'll return as soon as possible. Sorry everyone!] Zhao Gang, after hundreds of thousands of years cultivating, has finally reached the penultimate threshold. He is ready to ascend to the level of True Immortal. Driven by the need for a place his enemies won't find him, Zhao Gang puts together an audacious plan. He has developed a revolutionary new formation which will allow him to ascend while on even the lowest planes. To avoid drawing attention, he has to choose a plane that is relatively desolate, however. He chooses Earth. Fast forward three thousand years. Zhao Gang discovers what his work has wrought - a cultivation-free culture that has delved the deep mysteries of creation - he can't help but think how this tiny little planet devoid of natural energy could affect the course of all creation. There's only one problem. For that to happen, he has to succeed in cultivating Earth. Notes: Chinese names should be ignored in the social context - they don't mean anything. Sorry for slaughtering such a beautiful tradition. This novel starts off slower than most. If the slow-roll isn't your thing, you might want to give this a pass. If it's not for you, I understand. Also, releases may be broken up into smaller chunks. The goal is 5k words, but definitely more than 4k. If you see a short release, be aware that more is probably coming. I'll be honest and say that I'm struggling with each new scene, if only because I want to balance the scope of vision with good pacing. I hope the work I put into it is worthwhile.

As a very unusual class that makes not only death traps but proper dungeons with ecosystems, this is the life of humanities first dungeon maker in 1,000 years since the demon lord war began.

Kobold in Exile
Accused of offending the dragons, branded a heretic and condemned by his people, Toktok is on the run from his homeland. Cut off from the support of his tribe, this kobold must rely on his own skills to survive in a foreign land where he is vermin. But he's no fish out of water, as he has patrolled the surface of his tribe's territory for years, hunting, scouting, and laying traps for enemies, and he holds a mystical connection to the land around him. He also has the company of a tamed land raptor that owes its loyalty to him, not to his tribe or to the dragons. However, with no other kobolds to watch his back and provide support in a fight, he will have to learn the hard way whether all of this will be enough to keep him alive in a land home to warriors and adventurers who would kill him just as soon as seeing him.

The Core of a Factory
An abandoned steampunk arms factory, in the middle of a conflict torn former state of the Empire it served, gains a soul. This transforms it into a Lord, capable of turning land into power. Beset by enemies on all sides it must figure out how to win the war its creators lost a century ago. This is a progressive Dungeon Core novel (which is to say the core will progress and expand in scale, eventually) across multiple dimensions with different characteristics (e.g. steampunk, magic, mythological). It has rationalist leanings (paragraphs of reasoning) and litrpg leanings (there are stat blocks). The core game mechanical idea is something like "what if different flavors of magic power actually did come from controlling land" and then the story is: "what if there was a flavorless (artifact deck) dungeon core". Chapters will be relatively short (my aim is that in three column format each would fit on a wide screen monitor), the first few chapters - setting up the main character and mechanics - are currently the longest in the entire series. I write chapters in blocks, and then release them one a weekday (M-F; 6 PM GMT, unless RoyalRoad's publish thing screws up) until I run out. There may be a few days of gaps here and there if someone finds an egregious error I have to re-write around or if I am behind. In general though one can read this once a weekend. I may do slight retconns and edits, I'll make sure to put it in an authors note if I do.
