Xianxia, engineering, tenacity, politics, economics, magic analysis.
It starts with engineering that leads to tax evasion, but at the heart of it one question: cultivation is the path to ultimate freedom, but what does freedom mean when the heavens hold all the cards?
From the moment Qian Shanyi stepped on the path of cultivation, she wanted to soar through the sky on top of a flying sword, slaying devils and serving justice, at the head of a sect none could defy. Unfortunately, her luck...

The Synch-Tech game "Void Strike" has been her main hobby for the past year and a half, the latest and greatest Synch-Tech experience yet. Surprisingly open ended and detailed fully generated missions, both PvE and occasional PvP foes, no monetization, and a complex gear and skill progression system were all major features of the title.
But what really brought the digital merc going by Flamescale to the game was the character creation system, which not only let her play something rather far...

When corpses rose in unburnt pyramids

An original LitRPG / Fantasy / Isekai.
There are many possible fates that can await those whisked away from our world to another.
Some became heroes or villains, given the right power to forge their own destinies as they wished.
Others, the powerless, became victims, doomed to perish, at the mercy of the cruel world filled with mystical powers they are unprepared for.
A lone man that woke up alone under the alien sky was neither of those.
He didn't get to choose what he was going to become...

David Silva was used to failure. Supernatural fiction writers haven't exactly been successful since the forties, since the world's old dreams and nightmares were brought into being and new ones were spawned. Why would anyone want to read about the things that go bump in the night, when they can just go out and talk to them?
Still, David didn't expect to even fail at dying.

For can a mere man, given a lens of a single future and fate, hope to divert the unceasing tide of desired causality?
This question is foremost on the mind of the man who wanders between worlds, seeking penance after falling from a grace of blood and fire, a grace he never wanted. Now, he intervenes in the course of a child's life, a life that will be a mighty struggle against destiny. But he will not struggle alone.

A collection of sci-fi (and maybe fantasy) short stories I've made but aren't a part of my other works. I'll post these randomly as they are made, there is no set schedule or anything like that and they won't interfere with my larger works. Just some bite-sized stories of varying length, subject matter, themes, etc.
These aren't fanfictions and are my own original works, though some of them probably could be viewed through the lens of various franchises without too much stretching of the...

You can talk about dreams, that lead to ideas, that grow into creations. But, many stories grow from strange seeds, seeming visitors to the mind, that drift like travellers between worlds. 'The Dragons Vest' is a place between worlds, between established stories, where dreams can rest their weary whisps, trading fragments of concepts, with like minds.

It can be very, very boring, waiting for something that you know is never going to happen. And when something does happen, that something being orders for your android comrades to kill you isn't a good change. That at least one of the androids is sex-crazed and interested in you might be a silver lining. Or it might just make things worse.

What do you have when you have a socially awkward young girl given a system that has stumbled upon a secret of the world that wasn't meant to be discovered by someone like her? A recipe for disaster, that's what. Just how will Zoey Winters be able to survive in a world that seemed to have gotten much bigger than she already thought it was? Maybe learning boxing could help.

The galaxy is a vast, wonderous place, filled with life and connected by science and something just a shade beyond. But what is old watches and waits in the darkness, biding its time as the garden before it blooms.
The year of that final flowering is 2183. And for one Commander Nathaniel Shepard, it's about to become a busy year indeed. But no one, not even the ancients who still live and set their long-awaited dance in motion, could anticipate just how vast Reality really is.
