THE GOBLIN EMPEROR x WITCH KING
Kiris was 14 when he killed the only parent who loved him. Now, he has to save them.
His plan: infiltrate the empire’s court; survive 35 princes; undo Prophecy; revive his parent; run.
At least he’s motivated. If he fails, the empire assimilates his people.

The empress wants the Prophet, whose powers create fate.
The Prophet is missing.
She demands the region’s princes instead.

Kiris wants to confess before Prophecy kills his parent.
He’s a conartist who often plays prince.
Giving him to the empress? Easy mistake.

Kiris is the Prophet.
Shh.

Kiris is a Prophet. Kiris’ Prophecies create fate. Kiris is a con artist. His next mark?
Fate.

Kiris’ prophecies dictate fate. Prophecy killed his adoptive parent before he met them. 7 yrs later, he still can’t control his powers—and if he doesn’t stop fate by next month, his country will die with his parent.
But maybe, he doesn’t need to.
Prophecy never said the dead stay dead.

Prince for Hire

Being chased by a horde of religious insomniacs wasn’t on Kiris’ ‘invading empire’ itinerary.

Kiris loves sweets, long nights in the library, and making bubbles with his magic. He can also redefine fate with his magic, but he tries to ignore that part. Unfortunately, literally no one else ignores that part.

Kiris killed his adoptive parent before he met them. 9 years later, he still can’t control his fate-creating Prophecies. But if he doesn’t redo reality within the month, his parent dies, and his country with them.
Time to change plans.
Prophecy never said the dead stay dead.

Should I be studying? Yes. Should I be writing? Also yes. Does card game text count?

Combined three chapters into one chapter for a 50% reduction in word count in those chapters. Hopefully it makes sense during next pass.

We drop.
It lifts my stomach then slams it down, the constant buzz of the rotor slowing, our instruments falling. Descent rate spikes.
White and grey blurs against the windscreen, water flecking our windows. Can’t see the ground.
Altitude reads 600 feet.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.

Know the checklist version of a new character, but not the actual character? Time to review procedure and chair fly.

Correction, this is Microsoft Word Yearly Crash Counter: 19
Cause: I... I actually don't know. It opened a new document happily after its incident on round 18, and then it decided it wasn't quite so happy.
Take 3. Hopefully not 20.
