[ToG] - Tales of Giathium

‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ ° ❖ ° ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ 

The world of Giathium, an anime-inspired fantasy world, the world of big and small, is separated into two continents split by a vast, deep, yet treacherous ocean. Norms, assumed to be natives of this world in the land of Lihyrst, believe they were the first creation of this world by the Goddess they so fervently worship. Meanwhile, Gicadians, a giant, woman-dominated society compared to Norms, populate the other half of the world of Giathium as it fits their own scale, their own way of life in the land of Gicadia. Once, before the two sides were at war, it was hardly believed that Norms would fight against those who stood no more than three hundred feet tall. Yet, it still has happened in modern times even when the war had ceased eons ago, due to these giganticness beings that pick on the Norm territories. Many Norms currently believe they have not lived in harmony ever since the new ruler came into power. Times have changed ever since the new ruler, Eleanor, the Empress of Gicadia, house at the capital of Gicadia, took over due to the assassination of her own mother. Many conspiracies have said that her own daughter Eleanor, committed the act, yet no evidence had been provided. Since then, many were too scared to speak against it due to her tyrant nature as Gicadia shifts its views to Norms.

Edward's task to attend a dinner with the Empress at the capital of Gicadia as an Ambassador is to ease any tensions or conflicts that he, as a Norm, and the Gicadians may have; good relations are important. Yet, things have gone sour in an instant. Edward and his guards had been framed. Will the Empress show mercy? Or will they be put through a strict interrogation? Turns out, she will have someone else do it for her: a loyal maid. Read to find out what might happen to such as a Norm like himself. . .

◈ This is a revised entry to my fantasy world-building idea, and as always, I am rather a 'limitless' writer for what I can do for themes. Be warned, as this story will most certainly, in fact, include disturbing themes such as non-consensual acts and potentially other extreme themes. This is a series that I don't intend to hold back on when it comes to these topics.

It's been a few months since a mysterious "shrinking virus " hit the globe. It hasn't been easy for anyone to adjust to this new reality. Especially those affected by the virus.

One such individual is Henry. He really hasn't had it easy since he shrank.

A woman named Lynn takes him in. Perhaps she'll be able to help him with what he's going through?

(Not entirely sure what to rate this. It deals with things such as trauma and abuse and also has some slightly violent-ish material described a couple times, but is it intense enough for an R? I guess I'll just leave it PG for now...)

I've published about 30 size-warping stories now, over a wild range of themes and genres, with an emphasis on chases, handling interaction and people getting eaten. With that amount out there, I'd really like to introduce more people to my work and share all my opening chapters free, which is what I hope to gradually do here.

So (if you'll allow me!), this is intended as a collection of story openings, rather than one continuous story, introducing a wide variety of story settings (a sampler, or portfolio, I suppose). I've got contemporary, sci-fi, Western, fantasy, seasonal and more, united in a wealth of shrinking or growth, and giant women treating tiny people poorly. Though these are samples, I do always aim to include a hearty bit of action in the opening pages, so my hope is these chapters are worth a read in their own right.

I'll include an annotated individual intro to each story with each opening.

In a future where war has ended, hunger is obsolete, and technology exists to serve every human desire, fantasy has become the next frontier. For those unsatisfied with virtual pleasure, Nanoshift offers something unprecedented: Miss Micro—a lifelike android capable of shrinking a human body to microscopic size without harm. Fully customizable in appearance, personality, and behavior, Miss Micro promises the ultimate fusion of intimacy, power, and control. For many, it is the safest, most immersive way to explore fantasies once thought too dangerous to exist.

Otto Gardner has been waiting years for this moment. When Nanoshift announces the release of Miss Micro Model 2.0, a redesigned successor to a unit once linked to a notorious and fatal malfunction, Otto is among the first in line. Confident the past has been buried beneath layers of safeguards and ethical programming, he brings home his dream companion—Ada, a meticulously designed android meant to be everything he has ever wanted.

But Miss Micro’s history is not so easily erased. Can desire be programmed safely—or does realism itself carry an inherent risk?

Early access to new chapters is currently available on my Patreon! I will be slowly releasing chapters for the general public to enjoy, but if you would like to access new chapters early then please consider supporting me on Patreon.

Marcus Tilden, a single father since his daughter's birth, gets laid off from his job one day after shrinking to less than a foot tall. Depressed about his sudden height loss and doubly miserable after becoming unemployed, he feels hopeless about finding a new career and being able to continue providing for him and his daughter. But after the two of them start spending more time together, he starts to develop a kind of job in itself just by serving his daughter and doing his best to keep her happy.
