GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions known. Thank you.

Skyfall Saga

In the breathtaking world of Aethralis, where the skies are as vast as the oceans and ancient artifacts known as Sky Relics bestow unimaginable powers, adventure calls to those bold enough to chase it. Divided into three realms—the Seas Below, the Skies Above, and the enigmatic Floating Isles—Aethralis holds mysteries that have tempted explorers for centuries. Among these legends is the Crest of Aeons, a fabled Sky Relic capable of bending time itself. Kael Altross, a daring and eccentric aviator, dreams of uncovering the truth behind the Crest of Aeons and solving the mystery of his father's disappearance. Armed with his late father's journal and his own Sky Relic, the Tempest Gauntlet, Kael embarks on a journey aboard the Aurora Flame, a hybrid sea-and-sky vessel. But his quest is fraught with peril as he faces the Eternal Strata, a shadowy faction hoarding the world’s resources and Sky Relics to maintain their iron grip on Aethralis. Determined to chart the uncharted, Kael assembles a motley crew of Skyfaring Explorers: Lyra, a sharp-witted navigator haunted by a dark past with the Strata; Rago, a loyal warrior seeking justice for his lost family; Fynn, a quirky engineer whose inventions push the boundaries of imagination; and Eira, a serene healer with a profound connection to the Relics. Together, they defy the odds, challenging the Eternal Strata and navigating through uncharted skies, perilous seas, and mystical floating islands. As Kael and his crew delve deeper into the secrets of the Sky Relics, they uncover ancient ruins, confront dangerous enemies, and forge bonds that transform them into a family. Their journey takes them through time-bending islands, storm-ridden abysses, and an epic confrontation with the Strata's ruthless leader, Lord Zephyran, who has his own ambitions for the Crest of Aeons. "Skyfall Saga" is an epic tale of adventure, friendship, and freedom—a story of chasing dreams, defying tyranny, and uncovering the boundless potential of a world suspended between the seas and skies. Kael and his crew will discover that true power lies not in relics or artifacts, but in the courage to break the boundaries of the known and embrace the infinite possibilities of the unknown.

Magical Alchemy: Rising after contracting with a monster.

Alchemists are a prestigious and rare profession, and to become a qualified alchemist, one must first be a wizard. Wizards themselves are a noble and scarce breed. However, when a soul filled with thoughts of AK-47, ballistic trajectories, landmines, skateboards, and other otaku concepts inhabits the body of the most humble and lowly of slaves, and this slave becomes an alchemist, it’s as if a bomb has been dropped into a lake, sending waves crashing across the world. What’s even more surprising is that this guy not only refuses to follow the ancient traditions of alchemy passed down for thousands of years but also insists on creating outlandish inventions. The water-based magic potions he creates are completely revolutionary, turning centuries of alchemical history on its head, now reduced to tiny granules instead of the usual concoctions. As for his understanding of weapons and magic, it's equally unconventional: "Well, my weapon can directly eliminate your enemies right in your home—who needs a greatsword? And my magic cannon fires hundreds of fireballs in the time it takes you to cast one fireball spell, so who needs a staff? As for potions, it’s all about convenience and portability. But the most important thing is gold, gold, because only with enough gold can you buy all the things you need!” Kent shouted as he passionately defended his creations. It all started with an accident and a contract with a magical monster...

My uga buga Legacy

Synopsis Eighteen-year-old Alaric is well-acquainted with the art of boredom. His life drips with monotony, and fate seems determined to keep it that way. Daily, he stumbles from one small misfortune to another, practically a magnet for the absurdly unlucky. But, on an otherwise ordinary afternoon, he finds himself with his equally eccentric friend, Ragna, pondering life's oddities over cheap coffee and greasy food. Between mouthfuls of fried rice at their favorite street-side warung, the two begin theorizing: “What if magic and mythical creatures once roamed the Earth, back in some mystical age?” Their musings, however, are cut short when their world inexplicably blurs around them. Blinking, they suddenly find themselves somewhere ... utterly bizarre. The air feels primal, the surroundings raw and ancient. It's not long before they realize they’ve somehow warped back to prehistory. There are no modern comforts, no smartphones—just endless wilderness and the terrifying realization that they might have been flung to the dawn of humanity. And to top it off? They're convinced they might be the first humans... or are they? Ragna, always ready with a snarky remark, starts questioning everything: “Are we supposed to invent fire or something?” Meanwhile, Alaric just wants to get back to his ordinary, predictable life. Together, they bumble their way through survival, unearthing ancient mysteries (some real, some completely imagined) and testing every myth they’ve ever read about.
