The Finman is already established lore, they shapeshift and look for young people they can mate with for life. (They kill them) They are territorial and all around very cool,

Taxes are due now.

Minor spoiler warning for storm light archive: This is very close to the Storm light archive system, there they kill monsters to get shards that they can use to fuel power armor and make resources from. In that world they have people who can change one material into another through a form of...

Spesifically the word money changers can be a bit of a sensitive subject. This is because it is used by antisemitist as a slur towards Jewish people. It is an old word for what we today call a foreign exchange. There is a whole philosophical argument around this and I can recommend a book...

I posted the first chapter for feedback if you want to read it. :)

Here I will follow up with a scenario that I see could be interesting: Anyone can be a mage, but there is a price to pay that people find to high. Like they are not able to have a family, sex, kids, whatever fits the story. The crystals lose their value over time unless they are infused by...

Hello, I am new here! I am an economist and hold a MSc in finance with a profile of accounting and auditing. I can help you get realistic behaving businesses and explain how certain accounting or finance and or investing processes work.

For me the hardest part is getting started, once I am about five minutes into reading I get lost and enjoy it. I would say it depends, some chapters feel like work. Some fly by way to quickly. I am currently reading A Song of Ice and Fire (First book). And I really like the Arya chapters, she is...
