Elven Way

Logline An unwilling pilgrim must guide three young elves across the realms in a timeless rite of passage, while they race to uncover the dark secrets of his Elven Way before their journey ends. Synopsis By Elven law, only when all men forget his transgressions shall an elf be granted parole. No living man remembers Latham’s transgression, and he must now walk the Elven Way as a pilgrim—an unwilling mentor bound by the arcane to reveal forgotten arts and lost magic to his cohorts—the least of his concerns. But after centuries imprisoned, the last thing he—or any pilgrim—wants is a show of secrets to snot-nosed gits. Here is a tale of some of Elven history’s most infamous—eccentrics and hoodlums—turned unwilling mentors to cohorts as eager as they are gullible. Aalto Stian, Son of Havelock of Nero—a pirate prince who drinks from his fishbowl, sailing waves that rage higher than most mountains stand. With nothing but flotsam for a foothold and the light of Fos as his compass, he grins right at the eye of the storm. Where will it lead him next? Hjordis Waldemar, Daughter of Hilde of Potiri—a noble’s eyes sting as she glares at her calloused hands, abashed. Will one who must swing her blade a thousand times for a reasonably decent strike ever reach the heights of the sword saints of yore? Wray Kaspar, Son of Ulf of Anemos—a hermit who calls the wind to play, only for her to take everything from him. In her wake, his path to reckoning lays bare—will he walk it? What to expect: Epic Progression Fantasy (Is that a real genre?) inspired by some of my favourite stories: imagine a whimsical blend of Avatar: The Last Airbender's bending/spirituality, with A Song of Ice and Fire's political intrigue (as best I can write), and Shadow Slave's insidious Eldritch horrors. A character drama first and foremost; I enjoy exploring what makes my characters tick—(but don’t expect a meandering, plotless story). Mature themes: body horror, intimate relationships (not just sex, but the emotional baggage—honestly, I think that’s the core of any relationship), trauma—whatever is true to my characters. I write what I’m creatively driven to express, but always with a view to move the audience, and never for indulgence. A writer terribly happy you’re here!

Pillow of Hearts: A tale between the warm hug and cold coffee

Moon Young Jae’s homophobic family considered him a disgrace and held his freedom in their clutch. Even with being obedient, he was not free from their abuse. Young Jae was almost blinded and crippled by his father when he stood up for himself for the first time. Left to bleed and die, luckily, he did have a family who wanted to save him. It was twin cousins, who were disowned long before him, who saved him. Sad and hopeless, Young Jae became curious when he met his cousins’ friend, who understood him better than anyone, even without words. Curiosity got the best of him, and he ended by handing his heart, love and soul over a plater as a price. Slowly, Young Jae fell in love with everything about and around Min Jun and eventually fell for the man. Calculative Wang Min Jun entered Young Jae’s life accidentally. He challenged Young Jae's belief with a warm smile and flipped Young Jae’s world upside down. Min Jun read Young Jae like an open book. He planned to get over the little crush he had on his seniors' cousin brother but failed miserably. Min Jun did not like the often-visited ‘frown’ between those beautiful eyebrows and even the always singing of ‘sigh’ through those sinful lips. Min Jun made it his mission to change it only to fall for everything about Young Jae. Wang Min Jun carried his share of baggage, but he was well-prepared to meet the demons from the past head-on. But Young Jae became a mess whenever his past demons decided to pay a visit. He realised he did not have to face anything alone as he has a wonderful boyfriend who cherishes everything about him. Both faced their past demons and trauma together. When a person betrayed by a family fell in love with a person who holds his family above everything, sparks flew, and hearts soared in happiness. Will their story has a harmonious bell, or would it be a sea of misery? Teaser: Files were shattered all over Min Jun’s bed, and his laptop was placed on the bedside table. It chimed once in a while, indicating a new email for him to check. The work was piling more and more as he was diligently finishing it. Young Jae walked into his boyfriend’s bedroom to witness his handsome lover working hard. "Jun Jun! Are you busy?" Even though Young Jae did not want to disturb his lover, he knew he needed some help to impress his boss. "Never for you, love. Tell you what you need?" Min Jun did not lift his head from the file he was going through, but the warmth in his voice reached Young Jae's heart without fail. "Do you have a minute to help me in reviewing my monthly internship report? I have to present to our boss tomorrow morning." Young Jae pouted as he asked. Min Ju looked at his adorable tokki and smiled mischievously. "You are brave, asking your superior to help you sneakily. I can't do it for free. I need a huge bribe to help you. What are you planning to offer?" "Be serious. You have too much work to do." Young Jae chided his shameless boyfriend, who never failed to seize every opportunity to make him moan and groan as he takes him to the pleasurable heaven. "Exactly. I have too much work to do. If I am taking my time to help you, I need something in return. Something so tempting that I don’t mind cramping lots of things later." Min Jun smiled like a devil he was as he grabbed Young Jae towards him. The little rabbit who fell into the cunning wolf's lap did not even get a chance to protest as he was devoured breathlessly. Young Jae forgot why he entered the wolf's lair altogether. Min Jun pushed the files away to make space for his little rabbit to lay down comfortably. Young Jae’s report was long forgotten as a treacherous hand started to caress him again under the shirt as a sinful sound filled the room. P.s: The cover belongs to the rightful owner, and it will be removed if the original owner asks to do so. WARNING: THIS IS A GAY LOVE STORY WITH BDSM.

Insights Beyond the Familiar

There are some things that are better left unknown until the time is right. The time is not right until death, which, in my opinion, makes death something to look forward to, not dread.                                ☯︎ "Do you believe in the afterlife?" 'This is the end of the road of life for me, huh?' 'WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED NOW!!!' "Miss Zannah, I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but you're dead." "One way or another we all have baggage. But this is what I want to do. I will become a Reaper because I wanted to help. If there is a way I can still help, despite being dead, well that's the way I'll choose to go."                                ☯︎ Miftahul Zannah, who goes by the nickname Mifa, once lived a fairly ordinary life with her friends. She enjoyed spending time with them and participating in normal high school activities. However, one day while running a seemingly mundane errand to purchase school supplies, Mifa got into a car accident that completely altered her life. Now her life is not normal anymore. As a result of the accident, Mifa woke up with a newfound ability known as Spirit Sight. This ability allowed her to see haunted spirits and curses, which had previously been invisible to her. Prior to the accident, Mifa had only interacted with the supernatural world through viewing horror shows as entertainment. However, now she found herself as the sole person able to discern the existence of spirits and curses. While at first, Mifa attempted to deny the presence of these beings altogether, she soon realized that they posed a significant threat to those around her. Despite her fear, she made a bold decision to devote herself to doing what she could to protect others from these malevolent entities. Even though she could see them, she ignored them at all costs to protect her sanity and for others' safety. Despite this commitment, Mifa still found herself struggling with the knowledge of the supernatural events and beings that were occurring. Enduring significant amounts of suffering in her own life as a result of her new-found ability, Mifa continued to push forward with courage and positivity. As the reader follows Mifa on her journey, they will witness her bravery and determination in standing up to these nefarious beings. They will be exposed to Mifa's ability to persevere in the face of fear and adversity as she navigates the challenges that arise. Overall, Mifa's story will satisfy readers seeking a unique and thrilling tale of the supernatural world. [A/N: You can start reading it from Chapter 13, the main plot begins from there]

It's a matter of Ego.

Alora Hemming is memorable; even if she's walking past you on a street, you'd remember her. Not because she is gorgeous or because she has the best outfits, but because of her very concerning mindset and actions. Exactly the reason why she had been plaguing Griffin Steele's mind ever since he was four. Their first interaction wasn't a simple walk on the street, no, their first meeting was a battle to establish dominance. A battle of petty rights. The spine-chilling Battle of Silverado Kindergarten, fought amongst thirteen toddlers, left clear winners and losers. Alora Hemming was reduced to the confines of her 1.22 acre mansion with a private tutor, homeschooling and her frankensteined dolls as companions. Finn's bag and baggage was sent packing to Worthfinder Academy wherein the lap of peace and education Finn spent happy three years before being plagued by Alora Hemming's existence again. And meeting a whole decade later, surely made no difference. From day one, she had been bruising his ego, stepping inside his comfort zone and shaking the very ground of his morals. Hence why, Finn Steele must make sure he would never lose to Alora Hemming. Never. Ever. Even if she was going to be the mother of his children. And Alora Hemming would make sure that Finn Steele, must, by all means, always lose to her. For. Ever. Even when she started a family with him. It was a matter of Ego. . . yeah,, give it a try. i think you'll like it pretty! cover designed by me! Leave reviews and i shall love thee!

Puppets of Faith: Theory of Communal Strife

The sublimity of Muhammad's preaching in Mecca and the severity of his sermons in Medina make Islam a Janus-faced faith that forever bedevils the mind of the Musalmans. This thought-provoking work, besides dissecting the anatomy of Islam, steeped in the Quran, seeks to depict the psyche of the Musalmans, shaped by the proclivities of their prophet, vicissitudes of his life and the attitudes of his detractors, which the mechanism of their umma perpetuates. More to the point, aided by “I’m Ok – You’re Ok”, the path-breaking work of Thomas A. Harris and Roland E Miller’s “Muslim Friends–Their Faith and Feeling”, this book, for the first time ever, psycho-analyzes the imperatives of the Muslim upbringing, which has the potential to turn a faithful and a renegade alike into a fidayeen. Also, apart from delving into the ironies of the faiths that affected the fate of the peoples, eclipsed the cultures of communes, altered the course of history and afflict the politics of the day, this book examines how the sanãtana 'Hindu' dharma came to survive in India, in spite of the combined onslaught of Islam and the Christianity on Hinduism for over a millennium. This book is for those who wish to be aware of the follies of their faith and the foibles of others to lighten the burden of dogma and reduce the baggage of prejudice postulated in its thirty-four well-structured chapters. Also, besides providing a panoramic view of the Indian history, this thought-provoking book appraises the way Gandhi, Nehru, Patel, Azad, Ambedkar, Indira Gandhi, Narasimha Rao, Vajpayee, Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Narendra Modi et al made or unmade the post-colonial India. Possibly in a new genre, this free ebook is a book for our times.

After dying a gruesome death of being eaten alive in her last life, Shen Yun woke up in another person's body. The original owner is an illegitimate daughter that was bullied after her spiritual roots have been destroyed and disfigured by her half-sister. Hey, why does this sound familiar…? Ah yes, a typical start for a wuxia world fantasy novel… Shen Yun: Haha… it can't be. System 69: I hope for a pleasant cooperation. ^_^ Shen Yun: Nope. System 69:Please get revenge- Shen Yun: Heh! *throws table Let her get a damn rest! But something seems off… Is she delusional or is that girl holding a gun that is shooting laser beams melting everything it comes in contact with? Yeah, she's probably delusional. Wait… is that a spaceship in the middle of the forest? Haha... she better go drink her medicines. "It wouldn't be bizarre if a handsome man fell from the sky..." She mumbled as she walked back dazedly. Then a handsome man with weird clothing fell in front of her from a rooftop. Shen Yun:... The Man:... He awkwardly stood up, bowed his head, then dashed away. ... She's sure she isn't dreaming? *Slap Yep definitely not dreaming. Then why is the system gives her strange missions!

Future ML being disdained: W, wife... Shen Yun: Shut Up!) This seems to be the wrong Genre! And thus the journey of our MC with some talking and walking baggage from outer space commences.

Army Definition

An army (from Latin arma "arms, weapons" via Old French armée, "armed" [feminine]), ground force or land force is a fighting force that fights primarily on land. In the broadest sense, it is the land-based military branch, service branch or armed service of a nation or state. It may also include aviation assets by possessing an army aviation component. Within a national military force, the word army may also mean a field army.  Afghan Army soldiers on parade, 1950s In some countries, such as France and China, the term "army", especially in its plural form "armies", has the broader meaning of armed forces as a whole, while retaining the colloquial sense of land forces. To differentiate the colloquial army from the formal concept of military force, the term is qualified, for example in France the land force is called Armée de terre, meaning Land Army, and the air and space force is called Armée de l'Air et de l’Espace, meaning Air and Space Army. The naval force, although not using the term "army", is also included in the broad sense of the term "armies" — thus the French Navy is an integral component of the collective French Armies (French Armed Forces) under the Ministry of the Armies. A similar pattern is seen in China, with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) being the overall military, the land force being the PLA Ground Force, and so forth for the PLA Air Force, the PLA Navy, and other branches.  The Sikh Regiment marching contingent of the Indian Army on parade, 2015 By convention, irregular military is understood in contrast to regular armies which grew slowly from personal bodyguards or elite militia. Regular in this case refers to standardized doctrines, uniforms, organizations, etc. Regular military can also refer to full-time status (standing army), versus reserve or part-time personnel. Other distinctions may separate statutory forces (established under laws such as the National Defence Act), from de facto "non-statutory" forces such as some guerrilla and revolutionary armies. Armies may also be expeditionary (designed for overseas or international deployment) or fencible (designed for – or restricted to – homeland defence).
