The Red Queen of Nothing

“I Lord Tank Albridge, and my family, Pete Albridge, Cleo Albridge, and Fred Albridge, disavow Vinnandra the hateful as our blood. “Today, in one voice we curse the day she joined us, and we’ll forever celebrate the day she has left our ranks! Vinnandra shall not know us, and she is not ours to know anymore.” *** In a world of white-haired dragon riders and black-haired witches, Princess Vinnandra Albridge is born red-haired as the forbidden spawn of a witch-spy and a dragon rider known as the Hateful. Unwanted by her family and shunned by society, Vinn tries to get by everyday unnoticed and alive. However, her simple plans come crashing down when her family disavows her by removing her from her royal bloodline, proclaiming her a traitor to consequently serve as an official slave to the notorious Lenklock dragon riders family that rules in the North. There, it would seem that while Vinn might not be able to groom a dragon, she might make good food for one… not if she had anything to do about it. Vowing to fight for her life and rise above others, Vinn must learn how to break through her blood and reach to whatever minute strength she possesses and become a dragon rider… or something. And it would seem Vinnandra’s vows would be realised in the form of Xander Lenklock—a troubled man and problematic heir who charges into her life, proclaiming a nobody like her his greatest ally and seeking her alliance. For the first time in a long while, Vinn feels needed and wanted—two dangerous elements that ignites feelings she shouldn’t have, and evokes thoughts she shouldn’t think. And in a partnership that might make or break them, Vinn was sure she would do anything to have Xanders’ body, heart and soul. Problem is, Xander has a fiancée who was there to stay… forever. But with her mothers past looming over her, and with shadows of the enemy hidden in the trees playing their ultimate move, even if Vinnandra manages to steal Xander’s heart, will she be able to keep it? Or will her dubious identity destroy everything she has come to enjoy? Will the powers she has come to possess swallow her? Or could she be the enemy that her people really fear? Be whatever it might, the ultimate question remains—Dragon rider or Witch… which is she? ***** VOLUME 1 (Beginnings): COMPLETE VOLUME 2 (Chaos Abounds): ONGOING

The Little Joe is the Fake Hen of Golden Eggs.

Little Joe In the enchanting kingdom of Tallindorie, Little Joe is a spirited boy from a humble farming family, living a life of simplicity and joy. Despite facing rejection due to his modest background, he remains blissfully unaware of the harsh realities of life. His days are filled with secret training sessions with his father, indulging in hearty meals, and earnestly trying to make friends. But everything changes after a fateful encounter at school. When Joe bravely saves the teenage children of a powerful baron, he not only earns their friendship but also receives a mysterious gift that alters the course of his life. Later, after much suffering, fate thrusts Joe into the spotlight, drawing the attention of the lords from neighboring cities who see in him the potential to become a local defender. However, Joe’s dreams reach far beyond the accolades of knighthood. He aspires to be a true hero, someone who can make his parents proud, uplift his small town of Dhaubania, and stand against the corruption and injustices that plague the nobility in the kingdom of Tallindorie. Meanwhile, in the real world, Lowo N'air, a young orphan, is caught in the web of two scientists with dark ambitions. One is a pharmaceutical magnate seeking the perfect herb to create an innovative medicine, while the other is a portal technology developer searching for new worlds to conquer. Both seek the power to reshape reality, but their pursuits risk plunging the world into chaos. Fate takes an unexpected twist with the arrival of SIME, a System of Intelligent Multiple Choices. Due to a critical error, the system distorts the characters' desires in unimaginable ways. Little Joe, who once dreamed of becoming the greatest fighter, finds himself connected to a bugged system that strips him of all his abilities, leaving him at the lowest level of degradation, and only grants him insanely useless skills as rewards. As if that weren't enough, Joe also suffers from the bizarre ability to lay golden eggs—a power that brings him wealth but at the cost of his dignity. On the other hand, Lowo N'air, who longed for riches, is granted the potential to become a formidable warrior. Realizing they belong to different worlds yet are connected by shared technology, Joe and Lowo N'air become disillusioned with the absurd swap of their dreams. United in their frustration, Joe resolves to challenge and modify the very System that altered his destiny, while Lowo rebels, believing that no one should have the power to dictate their dreams.
