Fragments Of Rohana

The world of Rohana exists beneath a barrier of luminous crosses that has enclosed humanity in a dome. Within it, the Rohana Federation bends to Rohai, a godlike figure whose staff bears seven crystals of immense power. His Church of Harmony has divided the world into city dwellers who harness crystal technology to live in advancement and comfort, and villagers who reject these powers, cling to simpler traditions, staying beyond the Church's reach. Haran Baratti fled his homeland and, along with his son Heron, sought refuge in Haugstad. Perhaps it was the will of the Creators, but after several star cycles of found peace, a tragedy strikes, leaving Heron to find himself alone with a mission to return to Tiwaz. The problem is that Tiwaz is in a different kingdom, a whole world away, and to get there, he'll need a special passport. One way to obtain it is to join an adventuring party that does international jobs. Heron will have to navigate a world of mechanical cities powered by crystalline powers and governed by various social structures. There he'll meet allies and face dangerous foes. And all of them have secrets; some of them, if revealed to the public, may reshape the very foundations of the Rohana Federation. Will Heron, in learning those secrets, realize that maybe some of those secrets should have stayed buried? What to expect: ‣ Dark steampunk-inspired power fantasy with extensive world-building ‣ Magic systems where power comes at a psychological cost ‣ Visceral, well-choreographed combat sequences ‣ Mysteries that unfold across multiple volumes ‣ Steampunk aesthetics merged with elemental magic ‣ Stories where the actors are often found in morally grey areas ------------------------------------------- Chapters are broken into subchapters and are released daily. Each part is between 1000 and 1500 words, depending on how the chapter is split. Exceptions are parts that have "(end)" in the title, as they serve to conclude chapters.

Surviving Terra II: My Journey Through Catastrophes and Nobles

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch endlessly and horrors—born from beyond existence and from within—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by nightmares that never fade, where survival is measured not in victories but in the ability to endure another day. The Common Era, an age where the very concept of happiness has been abandoned. Here, no story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is enough to end you before you even realize it. If you looked strong, if you felt strong, if you were strong—was it ever enough? Strength itself is questioned here, tested not only by battle but by the world’s unrelenting weight and the collapse of all things. Trust is a fragile mask, loyalty nothing more than a fleeting dream. In such a place, how long can one endure before breaking? What if you didn’t even know who your real family was, where you came from, or whether you had the right to claim even a fragment of Terra as your own? --- I'm pretty excited to come back here after literal months of being away, i haven't updated since i felt it had no real place, it didn't feel real enough, well; as realistic as i wanted it tbh. The characters I had were either to much of this or that and didn't have struggles that felt meaningful. So i toned down how strong the mc is and will be along other things. I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. long ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace. 09/25
