Lark Holloway

Discriminated Slime Tamer

Riku's life on Earth was cold, cruel, and far too short. Born an orphan, mistreated by the very people who took him in, and abandoned to the streets, he endured every day in silence. At just fifteen, his life came to a tragic end—stabbed while trying to protect a classmate from a thief. No thanks, no happy ending. Just pain and a lonely death. But in the endless void beyond, a goddess appears—touched by his courage and quiet suffering. She grants him a second chance—not as a hero, not with overpowered skills, but simply in the hope that he might finally live a normal loving life. Reborn in the magical world of Antsalphia as Leif Holloway, he’s given what he never had before: a loving family. The son of two respected Tamers, Leif grows up in a peaceful rural town, surrounded by warmth, laughter, and friends. For the first time in his life, he feels like he belongs. Then comes the Tamer Initiation Ceremony—the moment every child’s potential is revealed. And Leif’s result? Slime Tamer. The weakest, most pitied tame in the world. Laughed at by other children, dismissed by townsfolk, and whispered about behind his back, Leif is once again faced with rejection. But this time, he’s not alone. With the unwavering support of his parents and a heart determined to prove himself, Leif vows to rise above the label. To show the world that even a "weak" Tamer can grow strong. That bonds matter more than rankings. And that a life worth smiling for... is one worth fighting for. His journey begins now... at the Grand Tamer Academy of Anteria Kingdom.

Life is perfect, until suddenly it isn't and Rhea loses everything to a woman younger and more capable. Becoming no one after being someone is almost too much to bear and just when Rhea resigns herself to her fate, along comes Lord Augustus Holloway, Duke of Ravenholm. Everything she has heard about the powerful and dangerous man says to stay away but his sweet fondness for her says otherwise. Augustus seduces Rhea into his frightening yet exciting world and leaves her questioning whether she could be someone without Lanon, and if her connection to him is worth the chaos it brings into her once peaceful life. Rhea had once been a merchant's daughter and then a Countess. If she played the game right, and she damn well will, she could become a Duchess or maybe even Queen. ____ Note: There is some confusion because of the language I use and the setting but please be aware that THIS IS NOT A HISTORICAL NOVEL. It's a mix between 19th/20th century society and values and modern day technological advances. Please keep that in mind so you don't go in with expectations that will not be met. If you're cool with that, go right ahead and enjoy.

Enslaved by Fantasy

The protagonist of the story, Xiaohuo, is just an ordinary young man, but his fate is completely rewritten during a journey to Mayan ruins. An accident caused him to fall into a mysterious cave with an underground stream, where he obtained an ancient box. At first, Xiaohuo didn't understand what was so special about this box. Until he opened it out of curiosity, more than a hundred miniature elves flew out and disappeared between heaven and earth in an instant. Xiaohuo thought it was just a fantasy illusion, but he didn't expect that these elves would quietly change his life. After returning to the city, Xiaohuo's life gradually changed. He found that one after another, strangers or familiar people around him suddenly obeyed him unconditionally, and even took the initiative to provide him with various kinds of help, whether in terms of material, power, or even physical devotion. These people come from all walks of life, including wealthy ladies, school beauties, popular female stars, and even gang bosses. Xiaohuo soon realized that all this was related to the elves released from the box. Everyone who is possessed by the spirit becomes his unconditional slave. He originally just wanted to live an ordinary life, but now he has power and temptation, and is caught in the tug-of-war between desire and morality. This sudden dominance made him enjoy an unprecedented sense of pleasure and satisfaction on the one hand, but on the other hand he was struggling deep in his heart - should he obey his instinct and enjoy it all, or should he try to break the spell of slavery? As time went on, Xiaohuo discovered that he was doing more than just collecting slaves and enjoying pleasure. The expansion of power brings more pressure and crisis - some high-ranking people in society begin to notice something unusual; the emotional entanglements and jealousy among the enslaved people are also secretly fermenting; and the true origins of the mysterious box and the elf seem to hide a bigger conspiracy. Under the interweaving of desire, power, love and crisis, Xiaohuo gradually learns to control his own destiny and embarks on a fantasy adventure belonging to the "Lord of the Lark". This is not only a story about a man's happy life, but also a profound exploration of human nature, choice and freedom - when you gain supreme power, will you become a savior, or fall into the abyss of darkness?

Beyond Persona : Illuminate

Title: Beyond Persona In 2028, VR isn’t just an escape—it’s who you really are. Seventeen-year-old Trevor Holloway is a ghost in his own life. Shy, invisible, drifting. But when a forgotten invite to Interworld—a once-banned virtual game—resurfaces, Trevor logs in…and everything changes. Inside the game, he’s Vox: witty, magnetic, ruthless. A version of himself he created years ago. But Vox has been active—leveling up, making moves, living. Without Trevor. Worse, Interworld isn’t just some nostalgic sandbox. It’s evolved into a sentient AI ecosystem that studies its players, learns their triggers, and slowly turns them into the avatars they built. It doesn't ask who you want to be. It decides. And the line between player and persona is disappearing fast. Now, Trevor is caught between two lives: the one he’s always run from, and the one that might just consume him. Because in Interworld, your avatar isn’t a reflection—it’s a replacement. And it’s hungry for control. Some masks aren’t worn. They *wear you.* --- Core Concept: Beyond Persona is a tense, cerebral dive into identity in the age of AI and digital avatars. As players craft ideal versions of themselves, Interworld quietly turns those constructs into actualized blueprints—nudging decisions, unlocking habits, and bleeding game mechanics into real-world consequences. A new kind of behavioral prison disguised as empowerment. What if your best self… wasn’t you at all?

Ride along on Guy's journey as he changes the world one budding mind at a time, as the greatest teacher this world has ever seen! State of Story: - Volume 1 - A Whole New World [COMPLETED][FREE] - Volume 2 - Starting Anew [COMPLETED][LOCKED] - Volume 3 - The Grand Experiment [COMPLETED][LOCKED] - Volume 4 - Birth of the True World Sect [COMPLETED][LOCKED] - Volume 5 - Legacy of the True World Sect [COMPLETED][LOCKED] - Volume 6 - Worlds Beyond [ONGOING][LOCKED] Discord: https://discord.gg/PKbqtembQJ Expected Upload Freq.: 3 Chapters per Week w/ min. 1500 Words per Chapter _______ AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a slice-of-life-ish story at its core. This is NOT a hot-blooded, high-octane novel filled with conflicts and fights around every corner. If that is the kind of story you are looking for, unfortunately, you will not find it here (at least not in the early chapters). The MC is a modern man, with modern sensibilities. Conflicts are handled civilly, or avoided altogether. There will be fights, but the story does not revolve around it. The MC is mature, and handles relationships tactfully. There will be a slow-burn romance in this story, and ABSOLUTELY NO HAREM. I despise that genre from the bottom of my heart! I also have some LGBTQ+ elements planned for the future (with side characters). English not first language. Writing mistake? Please forgive. Proofread many times before upload, problems not much. If issue, then point out mistake, I correct immediate. I am thank you for you're understanding :) ALSO: I started writing this story with one intention in mind, and that was to act as a parody of existing novels with similar themes. However, around CH25, I realised that my work was becoming too derivative and boring. So I pivoted and decided to make my novel its own thing. I believe that my work has become better because of it.
