This is an old wordpress account. It’s been cleaned a bit, and now I’ll proceed to add the important stuff concerning my own writing. Perhaps something extra while I’m at it.
It’s a bit of a sparse thing; not much embellishment going on, I’m afraid.
It will have to do.
Original Fictions
As far as original fictions go, I have published nine books by now. They are neatly divided into categories. Oneshots, for example, are books in which I do not see myself writing a sequel of. Trilogies are, as the name implies, books in which eventually I’m planning on continuing and Series instead are those with an undefined number of books planned.
Oneshots
I, Master
I, Master: A Harrowing Collection of Tales is an autobiographical adventure in my experiences with the Roleplaying Genre, mostly Tabletop. It is a fun read of events that happened, with words of warning and suggestions on some circumstances that may play out at a table. There are a lot of things in it that I have come to discover over the course of time, perhaps even anticipating what would become the now mainstream idea behind ‘how to behave around a table’.
Checklists are also included at the end. Just to make sure there’s a bit of levity in getting ready for the game night.
The Race
The Race is a sci-fi novel set in the far, far, far, extremely far future where everything is possible. Every potentially contrived method and mean of achieving something is within grasp, and replicator technologies makes all manners of troubles foolish. Yet, even so, living beings find reasons to make their life miserable.
Or, so to speak, start seeking out adventure and cause mayhem and mischief. Or, to be even more precise, leave behind a lot of garbage that someone inevitably has to go pick up and clean.
Enter the garbagemen.
Enter the start of a tale with a twist you probably will not see coming.
Prim and Proper
Prim and Proper is written following the beats of the Noir detective story. It features magical eternally young girls and their life in a society where ancient, eldritch Gods are on the prowl, supervillains fight with mad scientists, and the police handles anything that doesn’t involve extra work.
Detective Berry Straw has seen many things and retired too, and with her partner, the unassumingly old magical girl turned police detective has a hot case in her hands; the death of a fellow retired, and quite famous, magical girl. Who could have held such a powerful grudge? What hides beneath the prim and proper appearance of this society? Only one way to find out.
Trilogies
The Investigator’s Trilogy
The Investigator and the Case of the Missing Brain, and The Investigator and the Fury of the Fog, are two out of the three planned books in The Investigator Apprentices’ trilogy.
They follow the mad and insane path of The Investigator, a troubling Unnatural whose existence within the depths of the penal colony known as Cloatos is intrinsically linked with the nature of the world’s magic, and with the fate of his assistants, whom the monster disguised as human tends to kill in various, horrifying ways.
Can Lyara, thrust into the role by force rather than by choice, hold a glimmer of hope in surviving?
And what could the Investigator’s connection be to a strange, unsettling fog which grabs and devours those foolish enough to set out of their home at night in the world Above? The Sequel, the Investigator and the Fury of the Fog, delves into more aspects of the faceted, and intriguingly questionable, reality of the world.
Series
My Life in Another World…
The latest series, known as the Isekai Deconstruction Series, takes into account one notoriously famous point of modern narrative convention, and turns it over its head with a very simple and perhaps controversial counterpoint.
What if you really had nothing, and were truly stuck in a world where modern sensibilities were inexistent, where there was no social support network to aid you out, and where the only way of determining’s one right to exist was the blade by one’s hip, or the luck to survive one’s battlefields?
Follow the path of tribulations set by the amnesiac man known as Hum, incarnation of the modern man stuck in a world where various pasts mix and merge, as if history -and sometimes even the weather- refused to follow the laws of a normal world.
Most importantly, why would a Hero on a Quest care for the NPCs that surround them? Everyone loves playing war, as long as they are the armchair generals that need not swallow the mud of a battle filled with the sweat and the stink of their fellow men.
Witness Hum’s rise from miner to war slave, and then to free man. Then, watch him depart in search of a better future.
Witness Librhom’s passage from nobody to pretend-son of a merchant, drafted in a war that is as much of a righteous crusade as it is a cry of monstrous events to come, and deep unfortunate consequences to be paid.
Witness Libvir’s new tale, from man on the run to unwilling leader of a mercenary company through the treachery of unpaying lords, and onwards to the riveting, and cruel, reality of war. For all that rises, falls. But as long as one lives, hope can continue.
Witness Hum’s tale as he ends up in a new, and bizarre continent where people become stronger through elixirs and alchemy, by eating the flesh and blood of the strongest monsters, and regardless of their sapience.
In a nation where disciplines are taught in offense of the Gods and the eyes of a priest can whisk away all, are the monstrous Xiuzhe truly the greatest threat, or is it Hum’s new employer, whom holds a bitter taste in his mouth to hold the memory of?
In the end, however, there is nothing quite like living a good life, to have one’s revenge over one’s enemies.
