Funky Valley

Last Song of the Nation

A forgotten kingdom. A sacred vow. A journey home across centuries. Centuries ago, the fate of a young Vietnamese noblewoman became entwined with the rise and fall of the Champa kingdom. Her name was Thanh Mai—a girl of silken grace and iron spirit, whose heart beat with forbidden love and a fierce loyalty to truth. Her story was nearly lost… until one man dared to follow its echo. In modern-day California, Kien Quoc—a quiet Vietnamese-American engineer—receives his father’s dying wish: return to Vietnam and uncover the roots of their family’s past. His journey leads him into the heart of central Vietnam, where sacred towers sleep beneath moss and myth, and where the memory of Champa lingers in song, stone, and silence. Guided by dreams and joined by Sari, a Balinese journalist equally devoted to Southeast Asia’s lost civilizations, Kien stumbles upon a revelation that challenges history, identity, and the very idea of nationhood. Along the way, they unearth a secret chamber beneath the holy valley of My Son—and within it, a truth that changes everything. Told in sweeping, poetic prose, Last Song of the Nation weaves together two timelines: the fall of Champa through the eyes of a young woman trapped between war and destiny, and a contemporary quest for heritage, love, and healing. At its core lies a question that haunts generations: What do we owe the past, and what can it still teach us today? This is a novel of memory and migration, of culture and compassion, of spirits that never die and songs that still carry across the wind.

Bloom: Becoming The World Tree

She awakens as a seed in a rotting forest. No name. No memories. No body—only roots. A mysterious system guides her: Grow. Survive. Evolve. Buried in an ancient valley no one enters—and no one leaves—she must navigate the silence, the soil, and the secrets of a forgotten world. The rot is spreading. Something watches from below. And she is the only thing in the forest still learning how to hope. Poetic dark fantasy. Deep system lore. Slow-burn transformation. Maybe romance, IDK. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Watch her grow—not into a warrior, but into a sanctuary. --------------------------------------------------- A Note From the Author: Hi there! This is my very first book being shared with the world, and… I’m a little nervous. Please be gentle with me—I have a fragile glass heart. (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ This story is the result of months (okay, years) of dreaming, writing, rewriting, and researching things like ancient trees, fantasy ecosystems, and mythological creatures I can barely pronounce. It's a deeply personal world, and I'm incredibly excited—and terrified—to finally show it to someone other than my dog. Bloom: Becoming the World Tree is a high fantasy story rooted in both Western and Eastern mythology but reimagined through my own voice. Expect themes of growth, loneliness, healing, survival, and sanctuary. There are echoes of elves, dwarves, beastkin, spirits, and creatures who have been forgotten by the rest of the world… just like the little Seedling who wakes up alone in the dark. I’ve poured my heart (and probably a few brain cells) into building this world carefully. That said—I'm still human! If anything feels off, if I missed something, or if you think a detail could be more accurate, please let me know. I truly want to improve and do right by the story, and by you, the reader. Thank you for taking a chance on my fragile little Seedling. I hope she grows into something you’ll come to love, too. — Kismet (シ_ _)シ

FATH ENTWINED

In the hauntingly magical region of Koh-e-Siah Wadi, a girl named Ava Ashford arrives at a centuries-old manor, drawn by whispers in her dreams and a deep sense of longing she can't explain. Alone in the world, Ava is a reserved and introspective soul—but something ancient is awakening within her. She starts seeing visions, symbols in the mist, and hearing a voice calling out to her fate. Soon after her arrival, Ava discovers a mysterious sealed letter bearing an eerie message: "Under the moon, by the ancient stone, you will find your sister." That sister is Aurora—a twin she never knew existed. Their reunion is not just an emotional revelation but a magical ignition, for both sisters possess extraordinary, untamed powers passed down from a forgotten bloodline. As Ava and Aurora reconnect, they discover that their lives were torn apart at birth for a reason. The power they hold, when united, is enough to reshape the very balance between light and darkness. But they're not alone. Watching from the shadows is Mordana, a powerful and malevolent sorceress exiled centuries ago for attempting to control the Heartstone, a magical relic that holds the essence of fate itself. Lord Alexander Ashford, the brooding and powerful guardian of Koh-e-Siah, enters Ava’s life as both protector and mystery. Their bond deepens as they navigate magical threats, ancient texts, and visions of a life that was meant to be—but never was. Alexander has secrets of his own: his family was once the keepers of the Heartstone, and he may be the last line of defense between the world and its unraveling. Mordana, however, has returned with new strength. She hunts for the Heartstone, knowing that controlling it—and the twins—will give her dominion over all destiny. She manipulates old allies, revives cursed creatures, and sends illusions to torment the sisters. Her goal? To bind the twins’ power to the Heartstone and rule as a goddess over fate itself. As Ava’s powers begin to grow erratic, the Heartstone starts reacting violently—fueled by emotion, love, anger, and fear. The line between magic and madness begins to blur. Ava is torn between her love for Alexander and the darkness that tempts her through the Heartstone’s whispers. Aurora struggles with her own identity, caught between being a healer and a wielder of destructive light. The climax leads to the Temple of Stars, a forgotten structure buried deep in the valley. There, the final battle begins. Ava faces Veyron, a corrupted former god allied with Mordana, while Aurora fights to contain the magic ripping the Heartstone apart. In a moment of ultimate courage, the sisters combine their power, refusing to give in to destiny’s control. Ava unleashes the Heartstone’s full magic, disintegrating Mordana and severing the gods’ grip on their fate. But the cost is high. The Heartstone shatters, Alexander is gravely injured, and the temple collapses. Ava and Aurora barely escape with their lives—and their bond stronger than ever.

What the Gods Forbid

Raelith Vale was once Rayan Vale—a brilliant but lonely surgeon from Earth who met his end in a fatal car crash. But death was not the end. He awoke in a world of swords and sorcery, reborn into a prestigious mage family blessed with powerful elemental bloodlines. Gifted and intelligent even in this new life, Raelith seemed destined for greatness. That is, until the day of his awakening ceremony. At the age of fifteen, when all are expected to bond with the elemental forces of the world, Raelith failed. No element. No magic. A soul closed to the world’s aether. Shamed by his clan and marked as a disgrace, he was cast aside. Only his sister—Seraphine, a gifted fire mage—stood by him. But love makes enemies, and loyalty demands sacrifice. When the clan moves to silence Raelith permanently, Seraphine gives her life to save him. Broken, hunted, and exiled, Raelith flees into Death Valley—a cursed land where even gods fear to tread. There, against all reason, he survives. And deep within its forgotten ruins, he meets a mad and ancient mage who reveals the hidden truth: The gods of this world—both holy and vile—conspired to imprison humanity at the peak of power. True ascension lies not in divine favor, but in the forbidden knowledge of the Outer Gods. Given a choice, Raelith accepts a drop of Nyarlathotep blood to awaken his soul… and in doing so, becomes the first vampire in a world that has never known such a being. Now armed with powers outside the laws of nature and a soul bound to secrets man was never meant to hold, Raelith vows to do the impossible: Defy the gods. Unearth the truth. And bring his sister back from the dead… Even if it means becoming the very monster the world was never meant to know.

Perfect immortal

Perfect Immortal: Chapter One — Birth in the Abyss Realm of Ten Desolations — Veiled Abyss Valley Thunder roared across the heavens. Beneath a black sky pierced by a triple eclipse, the mountains cried and the stars trembled. Amidst a storm of violet lightning and blood rain, a woman screamed—not in fear, but in defiance. Her robes were torn and stained with sacred blood, her long silver hair clinging to her face. She clutched her swollen belly, breath ragged, as a tear rolled down her cheek and sizzled against the burning ground. "Even the heavens fear him… You are destined to be hunted… But you will live, my son." The woman was Shen Liyue, last of the Void Oracles, hidden deep in the Veiled Abyss Valley. Around her, space itself trembled. Shadowy figures in silver armor circled from above, bearing the symbol of the Heavenly Vow Sect—a cracked ring swallowing a star. One among them descended slowly, face half-covered by a mask of bone. "You, Shen Liyue, have broken the Pact. That child must not be born." She spat blood, then smiled. "You sealed my husband’s fate. But this one… is beyond fate." Lightning struck as her scream echoed through the skies. The storm parted. A child was born—silent. No cries. No breath. No heartbeat. Yet, he opened his eyes, black as the abyss, glowing faintly violet. Space cracked around him. The masked man stepped back, trembling. "W-what is this aura…" But the woman was already gone. With her last breath, she whispered a name into the child’s ear and tossed him into the chasm of the Veiled Abyss. > “Xian Wuheng… never let the heavens write your path.” He fell—through space, through time, into the Void Beyond the Sky. Where no child should have survived. But he did. --- Years Later — Outer Mortal Realm A small village called Dustbone Hamlet lived in the shadow of a broken mountain. One rainy night, a boy in ragged robes stood atop the cliffs, staring into the dark clouds, eyes glowing faintly violet. He had no family. No name. Only an old whisper echoed in his dreams: “Never let the heavens write your path.

A Vampire's Tale

The world of Norvak isn't for the weak. A land where might makes right isn't for the faint of heart. A land where different species battle for supremacy and the defeated either enslaved or exterminated. The continent of Revix has witnessed the rise and fall of many species. With a relatively peaceful period being established a little over ten thousand years ago. The result of this peace is the separation of different species. The land of humans, Cyntros, covered most of the central part of the continent. The lands in the north, Aterix, gave shelter to the elves and other creatures of light. The south held the creatures of darkness and it's original name, Rimul, long forgotten. A land that the humans had long dubbed, The Darklands. To the east was an endless desert where the banished and hated lay their bones. A place where nature threatens both predator and prey. Yet most feared of all was the west, a land of giants and titans. Where mountains vanish and valleys form from the movements of it's inhabitants. On the edges of The Darklands, the greed of men sends a group of hunters to their demise. The lone survivor, Milas, is turned into one of the ruling species of The Darklands, a vampire. With a past clouded in mystery and an uncertain future, Milas does all he can to survive. With the potential to become more than he could have ever imagined, Milas faces all threats that come his way. "The right to live is a privilege that only the powerful have access to. I don't appreciate others having that privilege over my life. And I'll do what I must to earn my right!"

Enchanting The Cruel Prince

A lowly slave finds herself at odds with the merciless crown prince, their fates dangerously entwined, and meant to separate only with her inevitable death by his hand. Sold to a brothel as a child, she wore the mask of insanity to escape the brutal clutches of life that awaited her, but it only brought her to another hell. She persisted, hoping to one day find her freedom and return to the ethereal valleys where she was born. All Alyssane desired was to find her home. One night of mystery and murder thrusts her into a dangerous game-shards of her memories are missing, she is accused of a fatal crime she could not escape, and her path entangles her with the cruel prince. She knows how things would end. But deceiving fates could be impossible when the man supposed to end her life is both her captive and her savior, when he is cold and menacing yet so easily mesmerizes her with his sweet nothings. His sins are known far wide and are darker than any nightmares plaguing her mind. She knows their fates together would entangle in a brutal mess, though it doesn’t stop her heart from fluttering like a caged bird whenever he is near. And he’s always near. Stirring a heat inside no forbidden thing ever should. In a world where love is a treacherous game, and vicious schemes are whispered behind every shadow, Alyssane must use every ounce of her charm and cunning to survive, even if it means enchanting the cruel prince out for her blood. ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ The crown prince's fingers trailed down her back, a slow, deliberate path that sent a shiver, half fear half something she did not dare name, through Alyssane. His gaze held hers, intense and unwavering. “What are you hiding?” He murmured, his breath hot against her skin as she defiantly met his eyes, “Maybe I don’t you to find out.” A sly smile curled over his lips and he leaned in, his warmth flooded her heart with mixed emotions, in contrast to the coldness of his eyes with a thinly veiled threat, “Are you sure?” "What do you want from me?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper. His eyes locked onto hers, filled with a dark promise. “Everything.” ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ Thank you for stopping by~! Enchanting The Cruel Prince is in a beta phase that I am slowly developing by managing a few hours from my packed schedule. The updates will remain slow, but if you enjoy the story, you can add it to your library and revisit it when there are more chapters or the novel is completed. Feel free to share any thoughts you have in the comments. Happy reading!
