After The Ends

Li Hua's reign as the twenty-first century's deadliest assassin ended in fire and betrayal. Her own sister, Li Min, turned their elite force against her, leaving nothing but ashes where a legend once stood. In the moment of her death, Li Hua's soul tore free from its earthly bonds, hurtling across the boundaries between worlds until it anchored itself in a new vessel in a realm of ancient martial arts and mystical cultivation. Through this impossible transition, her inner space remained intact—and with it, Little Firefly, her spirit companion. Here, where qi flows like rivers and mountains bow to those who master their cultivation, Li Hua will forge herself anew. No longer content to be merely an assassin of mortal flesh, she sets her sights on ascending to immortality itself—a journey that will shake the very foundations of heaven. DEDICATION To those of us whose cultivation path always leads to immortals with questionable morals and perfect jaw lines. May your daddy issues transcend the three realms and be rewarded with an ancient being who knows exactly what he's doing. AUTHOR'S NOTE Content Warning: This story contains mature themes.

I woke up in a dark dungeon, my body screaming in agony, reeking of death. The air was thick with decay, each breath clawing at my throat. My mind was blank, a hollow void. "Who am I?" I whispered, but no answer came. Stumbling into the world beyond, I was greeted by thick fog and cold silence. The ground was littered with gutted bodies and shattered swords—fragments of lives lost to battles I couldn’t begin to understand. The monsters I’d killed to get here felt like a prelude to something worse. I couldn’t stop wondering about the stories behind the broken swords, the fallen warriors. Maybe my own story lay hidden among them. They say curiosity killed the cat. I can only hope my curiosity ends up killing me too.

After Maisie passed away, she found herself in a new world that was vastly different from the one she had known. This world was filled with magic, swordsmen, monsters, and even dungeons. Maisie found it all very strange, but what was even stranger was the book that suddenly appeared in front of her. The book claimed that her new world was just a figment of its pages and not real at all.

In "Our Endings," I tell a story of a really intense friendship that ended up breaking my heart and teaching me a lot about myself. This book is all about the ups and downs of loving someone who doesn’t really love you back the same way and I’ve come to realize how unhealthy it was. I wrote about how I gave everything I had—my heart, my soul, and all my loyalty—to this person, but they just took it all without really caring about me. It was super hard realizing that the person I thought was my best friend didn’t value me the way I valued them. Each chapter talks about different feelings I went through: being anxious about things I couldn’t say, desperately wanting them to notice me, and the sadness of knowing my love and efforts were ignored as well as other things. "Our Endings" isn’t just about being heartbroken; it’s also about how the person I loved and pretty much idolized; their true intentions slowly revealed itself to me. Which lead me to finding the strength to let go of someone who was hurting me. It shows how hard it is to move on but also that it’s possible to find new beginnings and realize my own worth again. As well as me growing in my faith in Jesus Christ and encouraging people to follow him!This is my first book that I’m thinking of publishing so this isn’t out yet.

In a post-apocalyptic world, you'll find four main types of people. Those who fight with all their might "the hunters." The ones who leech and exploit others "the pests." The predators, who see everyone as prey. And lastly, we have "the survivors," the resilient ones who never give up. Everyone often fits into one category, but it's hard to determine which one Maya falls into. She's not exactly a fighter, considering leaving her room was a chore even before the apocalypse. A predator? No way—she's always been a pushover. You might think she's a survivor, but that's laughable. She'd rather die from starvation than resort to scavenging. So, how should we categorize her? leeche? Nope. Perhaps a new category is needed: "The Lost"—those struggling to find their place in a shattered world."

For centuries, humanity believed itself to be the dominant species, ruling over the Earth without challenge. But everything changed when a meteorite struck the planet, shattering the Ice Wall of Antarctica and unleashing monstrous creatures from the depths of the unknown. As these beasts spread chaos across the world, another phenomenon emerged—ordinary people began to develop extraordinary abilities, awakened by the meteorite’s strange energy. With civilization on the brink of collapse, humanity faces a terrifying new reality: the world as we knew it is gone, and the true apex predators have arrived. Now, those who have awakened must rise to fight for survival in a world where myths become reality, and only the strongest will endure.

Gaia is dead. The world is a mess of fused realms—acid rain burns the ground, food is scarce, and the air is poison. No one knows why Gaia, the ancient guardian of life, died, but her rotting corpse unleashed chaos. Monstrous Outer Gods slithered into the cracks of reality, twisting the land into nightmares. Yet, in the ruins, people still fight to survive. Under a giant boulder—the only shelter in this toxic wasteland—a boy wakes up. He’s the last human alive, his memories fuzzy except for flashes of a lost Earth: sunny skies, laughter, and a strange power inside him. He can create Kaiju, giant monsters that could crush armies… if he knew how to control them. But right now, he’s just a hungry kid, scrambling to find food and avoid getting killed. Outside his rock, alien clans run the show. Some trade clean water for labor, others heal wounds with glowing mushrooms, and a few settle disputes with fistfights to blow off steam before rage drives them insane. Everyone fears the 100% Rule. Too much stress, sadness, or anger? Your mind snaps, turning you into a Husk—a mindless monster with no soul. The boy’s Kaiju power could help him survive… or push him closer to becoming a Husk. Worse, death here is permanent. If he dies, someone else takes his place—an outcast, a kid, a warrior. The world doesn’t care who you are. It just wants to eat you alive. This isn’t a story about heroes. The boy isn’t special. He’s just trying to survive, one day at a time—bargaining with clans, scavenging junk, and accidentally summoning Kaiju when he panics. Maybe he’ll find a way to fix this broken world. Or maybe he’ll just find a decent meal. In a place this messed up, even small victories matter.

Post-nuclear war Britain: an alternative reality where superpowers exist

" My child, you were always there for me. Always present like a gift so precious and priceless. Your existence so welcoming and accepting i couldnt start but to feel sorry because i know you are worthy of so much more. I'm sorry I couldn't give you my all. You deserve the world and even beyond, so I hope you can find your own happiness and adore that life which I have given you. I know my apology will not fix the wound I have placed onto you or the burdens you have decided to carry on your shoulders, but you need to always remember that mum has always and will always love you.
