Trenchbound:The Great War

In the turbulent era of Europa from 1914 to 1922, a devastating world war ignites following the assassination of Great Duke Francis, heir to the Middle Nations of Germano-Hungry—loyal allies of the formidable Great Empire. This spark escalates into a brutal clash, with the Great Empire locked in combat against a coalition of powers: the steadfast Republic of France, the shadowy Transnatia (formerly Romania), the expansive Great United Front of Russia, and the naval-dominant Island Nation of Commonwealth (Britain), as additional nations are pulled into the conflict across the years. "Trenchbound" chronicles the war through shifting perspectives of soldiers on the battlefield, each chapter capturing a unique viewpoint at critical junctures. From the desperate struggles of everyday infantrymen navigating treacherous trenches and mechanized assaults—featuring colossal steam-driven tanks and armored contraptions—to the elite magic divisions, where mages command ethereal flying machines (distinct from conventional aircraft) to soar above the fray. These sorcerers enchant bullets with devastating spells, causing them to explode on impact or unerringly track their targets, turning the odds lethally against ordinary troops and amplifying the chaos of combat. Through these personal narratives, the novel delves into the grim realities of a war where arcane enhancements merge with industrial might, exposing the fragility of life, the bonds of camaraderie, and the shattering consequences of enchanted warfare that reshapes Europa's destiny. This alternate historical epic blends authentic period tensions with limited magical intrigue, painting a vivid portrait of survival amid enchanted peril.

A Promise From Me To You

Talent and change, those two define humanity. But if you lack neither innate talent nor do you possess the ability to change, what are you? As a freshman at Laxus Flare Academy, Elliot Elanderin is surrounded by geniuses and talents you couldn’t find anywhere else. Compared to them, or anyone really, Elliot is pathetically ordinary, someone without a defining skill, role, or value. One day, after battling with his inner thoughts once more, he hears a sound that felt outside of this world. That sound leads him to a girl. A girl who embodies everything he wasn’t. Elliot begins to learn about not her talent, not her looks, but her. And along the way, she learns about him as well. As that friendship flourishes, he begins to learn more about the friends he was already surrounded by. New relations develop, both platonic and romantic.
