"The Abyss is a wondrous place, filled with as many blessings as it is curses. But a thin line separates this, and that is the dawn." Ever since Len Keiri first heard about the Abyss, he has devoted his life to it. He's offered his mind, body, and is now willing to offer his spirit to it. After all, what is more one sacrifice when the Abyss has already taken all he's offered and more? However, one obstacle stands in the way of his final offering: the Fifth Layer and Idofront, an ancient ritual site guarded by a legendary Delver, the White Whistle known as Bondrewd. Bondrewd the Novel, the Sovereign of Dawn. He's known for his powerful Relics and advanced technology, but most of all his secrets. When Len uncovers one of these secrets, Bondrewd is not as willing to let him make his Last Dive. But little does Len know that this misfortune is a blessing in disguise.

How far would you go to achieve a dream? If an opportunity to attain it presents itself to you, how tightly would you cling to it? What would you be willing to sacrifice for it? Len Keiri has a dream he thought he could never achieve: become an explorer in a world that had already been discovered. But he's presented with a once-in-a-life opportunity: a chance to explore the Abyss, the last undiscovered place in the world. A great pit tunneling miles deep into the earth, the Abyss is a world in its own, offering great fame and fortune to those who dare to plumb its depths. Those who have seized those offers become legends themselves, passed along with stories of the great pit. But of course, every rose has its thorn. Unforgiving environments unlike those on the surface, deadly creatures that far outsmart the human mind, and ailments that afflict those who try to return home from the depths. The Abyss welcomes outsiders, but it doesn't treat them kindly, and it doesn't want to let them go. And if it does, it more often than not keeps their sanity in exchange for their freedom. However, Len doesn't care. He's willing to throw himself headlong into the Abyss, no matter how far he has to go, no matter what it costs him. But what does that actually entail, and is he truly willing to sacrifice everything?[You don't have to know Made in Abyss to enjoy this story]•I don't own the images and music tracks used for this story's chapters with the exception of my character drawings…

It's tough being on your own in the nation of Caelum when you're a child. You have to fend for yourself in an unforgiving world of pirates, moral-less thieves and murderers, and airborne islands that spell death the moment you fall off one of them. It's even tougher being somebody who everyone and their aunt wants to either kill or capture for a prize, all because you can, to put it simply and literally, "make magic happen." But do you know what's even tougher than all of that? Being both of those along with having no memory of any of it along with every last shred of your past, even your last name. So my name is Loto, and welcome to my world.[This story takes place in the world of The Isles of Gracidea by Cora-chan but can be read independently from the aforementioned story]•1rst place winner of the 2019 Pokémon Watties Miscellaneous Category and winner of the "Best Supporting Character" and "Best Platonic Relationship" Special Awards•I don't own the images and music tracks used for this story's chapters…

There exists a power that has dwelled in the land of Hyrule for countless millennia. It is the power that helped create the land, one that is coveted by many. Every few thousand years, three people are fortunate-or perhaps unfortunate-enough to receive it. And in the current era, the three have been bestowed this power once again. A sharp-tongued thief who insists on running from his past despite hating that concept, a headstrong heiress who loves myths and legends but doesn't expect to be swept up in one herself, and a desperate king who just wishes for him and his people to be respected. One welcomes their power, one despises it, and one depends on it for their survival. But no matter the circumstances of how they came about their power, each of these people has to ask themselves this question: "Are you truly worthy?"•I don't own the images and music tracks used for this story's chapters…
