Damien Raphtale. Born on September 11th, 2001. Currently an undergraduate student of a no-name university. Approaching his 21st birthday, as well as graduation. ---------- Although orphaned since birth with an unknown origin, he had lived a very plain life. His custodian was his father’s best friend from work, a single middle-aged man named Harrison. He had other foster children who were orphaned at the same time as Damien, so he usually had his hands full. Damien was used to being alone. But he wasn’t truly alone. He never was. It was simply that the company he had was the hostile kind. To some extent, it might have been better if he had been truly alone all his life than be in their company all the time. Unfortunately, the worst has yet to come. The tales began from an orphan, involved an army, brings together enemies, throws twists to truths and features a tragedy from beginning to end. Will there be happiness left in the shadows? -------------------------- If you like this story, check out Orphaned Shadow in MoonQuill. Updates will be at least a week earlier over there!

Above is always dark. Below is always ground. I was trapped, lost with no way home. I don't know anyone but anyone who knows me wants me dead, or worse. I was chained to this realm with no mercy, even death cannot free me completely. ---------- It's been a whole month. When it began, he shrugged it off as a dream. Now, he knew something is afoot. He didn't expect anything but when the Google searches produced actual results, he has to reconsider what he must do now.

I was from the city of Lathen, a small but populous city in the west of London. In Lathen, the house of Selvano had always been viewed with awe, respect, and fear. I am the only successor of the Selvano bloodline. My father led a group of the Selvano disciples to defeat Magic Wolves, Shadow-Bringers, Harpies, Gorgons and many other magical creatures that harmed the humans of Lathen. My mother is a talented enchantress and her dispelling charms were renowned in our town. Many witches came to be taught under her wing but none was accepted due to her special heritage. Amidst this mess, I lived with my parent's blood inside me and all kinds of magic around me. I learned how to read stars and people, how to write curses and poems, how to make runes and toys. I hadn't awakened my magical talent but my parents told me it would take time. I didn't have time. I decided to leave and applied to a university in the US, far from Lathen. I saw how humans could not see the basilisks lurking, couldn't hear the ghastly screams of ghosts around them. I knew university would be difficult, especially since so many things are unfamiliar to me. Still, I got stuck in a set of unfortunate events that led me to be so infamous, my parents nearly teleported me back to Lathen for a scolding. This is my story and how I had to hide.

A boy can only do so much in this big world. A boy is just a little more than a kid. What much can a boy who only play games do? That would depend on what game they play and who pays the price for it. Synz Yamikage-Nieve is a Japanese boy living a rough life as a halfie. He likes games and comics. He reads fanfics and webnovels. His social life is nonexistent. He has issues. He was offered a part-time job of saving worlds. He accepted the job in spite of the unlikelihood of it NOT being a scam. ...it wasn't a scam.
