Xiao X Wanderer

In the quiet countryside of Suntails Hollow, Dorian Highspire grows up weaving tales, singing songs, and dreaming of a life beyond the fields and hills of his childhood. Inspired by a wandering bard whose magic turns stories into art, Dorian embarks on a journey not to seek fame or glory, but to find stories—those hidden in the hearts of strangers, in forgotten ruins, and in the bustling streets of distant towns. With only his lute, his magical talents, and an insatiable curiosity, Dorian's path is one of discovery. He explores towns full of charm and mystery, meets individuals carrying unspoken burdens and quiet joys, and transforms their stories into songs brimming with life. As he moves from one village square to another, performing with illusions that captivate and inspire, Dorian learns not just about the world but about himself. Full of heartfelt moments and the simple beauty of everyday lives, A Ballad of the Wandering Bard invites you to follow Dorian as he seeks stories worth singing—and perhaps, along the way, becomes part of a few himself.

Synopsis: Lucas was once a child full of innocence, but that was taken from him when he was kidnapped by a ruthless Russian faction. Raised and trained as a merciless killing machine, he was stripped of all emotions and humanity, becoming a weapon forged in blood and violence. His life was one of endless missions, where pain, fear, and love were irrelevant. His sole purpose was to kill. By the time his final mission ended, he had become numb—so emotionally detached that even the guilt of his actions no longer phased him. His life came to an abrupt end in a catastrophic explosion, but fate had other plans. Lucas was reincarnated in a new world—a realm full of magic, elves, demons, and demi-humans. As a baby once more, he was given a chance for a new life, with a mother, Lady Elara, and a father, Lord Kael, who loved him dearly. Yet, despite the warmth and care he is surrounded by, Lucas cannot escape the haunting memories of his past life. Emotionally cold and distant, he remains closed off, unwilling to accept the love being offered to him. As he grows, Lucas struggles with the conflict between the desire to change and the fear of vulnerability. The magic-filled world around him, with its creatures and wonders, fails to stir any warmth in his heart. Every step toward openness feels like a threat, reminding him of the violence and manipulation of his former life. The bonds he forms with his new family seem fragile, and the scars of his past prevent him from fully embracing the life he’s been given.

But what is humanity, truly? No one knows for certain; only a few can glimpse its essence.

Long ago, the wicked White Queen launched a brutal war of conquest, bringing the lands to freezing ruin. An entire generation was swallowed by the flame and horror of the Queen's War. It ended as it must: the White Queen was slain, her ambitions broken, her erstwhile kingdom shattered. It has been some years now since the news of her death, but the lands still bear the scars of her cruelty. And where humanity has retreated, fae, demons and other horrors have sprung up from the shadows. The young wizard Martimeos journeys through these cursed and shadowed lands, searching for a sign of his older brother, who disappeared into the fire and fury of the Queen's War. Joined by the mysterious swamp-witch Elyse, they must make their way through this dangerous world, uncovering haunting memories of the past. As Martimeos finds his brother's trail, he begins to wonder what sort of man he was, and whether or not the war had changed him. How far will he have to journey until he discovers his brother's fate? How long will he wander west? WANDER WEST, IN SHADOW is a slow-paced, classic sword and sorcery tale that takes place in a dark fantasy world of faded kingdoms and lost history. Magic in this setting is less powerful than in many other fictions, especially when Elyse and Martimeos are first starting out their journey.
