Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)

Red Affra
In the fantastical Spirit Realm of Runeterra exists an alternate reality where eternal war is waged on a near planetery scale. Yordles, the dimunitive and whimsical magical creatures of Runeterra have been thrust into all out war! Super powers like Russia, the United States and Germany fight for domination of Affra. Several thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye, frought with the terrible atrocities commited in the name of progress. Now the largest super powers across Affra race for nuclear supremecy in secret after an armistice brought uneven peace to the war-torn realm.We follow a team of Special Forces Agents working behind enemy lines to make sure the Soviet Union, under its esteemed Primer; Mak Molotok, succeeds in bringing about a Red Affra. This is just a fun idea spawned from a group of friends, while the story is very much serious the subject of Yordles in a Cold War era stalemate is not. Updates won't be at all frequent. This is honestly a side show to my current webseries despite how much I love it. And once again this story features characters belonging to those friends I mentioned earlier, but this time I'll wait to reveal who is who. The cover art was done by the fantastic Teamoon! Check her out on twitter with that link there.

After all, the Community doesn't just let new people in; not when keeping people out was the best way to ensure the safety of the Community members from the mysterious threats outside of the walls.

Malheur aux vaincus - Short stories
I am a reader, not a writer. But in the spirit of contributing to the trove of texts present here, I hope to share some short stories that I wrote: two in French in a Roman Fantasy setting ; and the rest in English: one inspired by manichean webnovels, another one... difficult to classify as a fiction, a little flight of fancy about the 'What if?' game, and last even two poems.
