Warden

Don't get distracted!

The target has been decided. The deadline has been set. All that is left is for you, Adam Finch, assassin extraordinaire, to execute your mission. Success is inevitable. Because you are weapon made flesh, and nothing will stop you from completing your mis- Oh! Look! A story-game!!

There are 5 endings: 'Double kill', 'War in the shadows', 'Retiree rescue', 'Kiss of death' and 'Who let him cook?!'.

Ignis and Aero

Aero, a 14-year-old inhabitant of the village of Albritton, wants nothing more than to read his enthralling storybooks in peace. When he hears of a Golem wandering in the forests near his village, he is more than happy to let the professionals deal with it, while staying within the comfort of his home.

Unfortunately for him, his adventurous brother, Ignis, has other plans.

Author's note: If you want to collect all endings, then there are six of them: The Wise, The Mourner, The Cleaner, The Knight, The Skeptic and The Magician. Certain choices don't have immediate effects but may influence the endings. Also, certain endings can be reached through multiple different paths.

Of dreams and daemons

Most would be willing to trade a great deal to catch a glimpse of what the future holds. Hannah de Reade, however, has spent her time in Lumintrone ignoring the omens that she sees in her prophetic dreams. All she wanted was some semblance of normalcy.

But when her dreams warn her of a daemonic plot, she is compelled to act against it, leading her to be invited as an honored guest to the Imperial Castle.

However, in a court filled with dark secrets, are her eyes that can pierce through fallacies truly a gift or a curse? You will have to take Hannah's side and guide her through this ordeal that will forever change her fate.

And perhaps you will change the fate of Lumina itself in the process.

Author's note: There are nine endings. I highly recommend reaching multiple endings since you may not be able to experience the entirety of the plot with one read. While they are not central to the story, I should also warn that themes of domestic abuse and graphic violence are present in it.

Congrats YellowCake! Amazing effort! The swap card can definitely have a huge impact on the competition's current state. I look forward to seeing how you use it. :]

The wording of the challenge makes it seem like a team reward. Considering that you have 6 if you combine with Fluxion's reviews with yours, I wouldn't be so sure that victory is out of reach for your team. ;)

Seems like a really interesting read. I'll give it a look when time permits. :D

Achilles from the Troy movie seems to be motivated by the idea of achieving immortality through glory. That movie as a whole juggles a lot of other themes too though.

Same here :]

No worries. It's not going anywhere. XD

Thanks for the quick review! It definitely gave me a lot to think about regarding how choices should be handled in a CYOA.

Any resemblance to stories previously written are purely coincidental. XD It is true that I am a specific type of weeb, though. Now, I'm really curious to read your review and see what you think. :]
