Author has written 10 stories for Mega Man, Sekirei, Shaman King, Infinite Stratos/IS<インフィニット・ストラトス>, and Gundam Seed.

The name is Grey vs Ale, to put it simply life is full of grey things. We either sit back and watch the grey blobs in the spectrum or change those blobs into different outcomes. Outlook on life hmm... Always shifting.

You have ever have so many ideas in your head, that you can't write them down. Well if so then you're like me, I have a whole bunch of ideas and it keeps circulating in my head like a circuit.

Infinite Stratos one-shots are nearly done and over with before Infinite Stratos story is under for earnest go. One-shots remaining two to three characters are Houki, Chifuyu, and Natasha(Possibility). However, once Chifuyu is posted that will be it until a few months approximately November to December time for optimal brain saturation.

Tales of Xillia one-shot Bonds of Fate Ludger and Milla will be up in August to September.

Summer love infinite stratos: Laura one-shot is complete.

November Infinite Stratos: Cecilia one-shot is complete

Winter affections Infinite Stratos: Charlotte one-shot is complete.

Valentine's day: Tabane one-shot is complete.

March: Tatenashi one-shot is complete.

May:Huang Lin one-shot seriously this is the roughest one-shot to date for over a year and a half. Call it Hiatus X Rin jokingly speaking not actual title.

Shaman king Linked Souls: Remake is underway expectancy late July approximately between 26th-31st at latest early august if no interruptions.

Crumbling mountains brings a peak at new veils: the progress with that story I have the actual ending in mind. The reason why is because for each story I do write I make sure to know my endings and intermediate sections. Please note the story will not be ending soon, so no need to worry if people are worried that is.

Infinite seed: Phantom arc is the first arc of this five arc story. The Phantom arc entails about Ichika's growth in Phantom task.

Chains of the Welsh Dragon: First arc reflections of life.

Possible other stories are Hidan no Aria, Inuyasha, Minamoto-kun Monogatari, XXX Holic, Gundam Build Fighters, Yugioh GX, Fate series, Cardfight Vanguard,

There are a number of things in the world that can cause people either bliss or distraught. I don't think being in the between those two things is any fun.

I love a whole bunch of video games anything anime related is usually on my A list to get, or any relatively interesting games that should come out is fine with me.

Been watching anime since I was four, first time I saw anime fell in love and is still in love with it. Go Anime-lovers and Anime! Manga people too.

Belief is a strength to move forward no matter the perils.

When life throws footballs at you do not take them in the face.

sometimes just listening is not enough you have to understand too.

Missing a day of school isn't bad; missing a chance to learn is unforgettable.

Emotional days are horrible always leaves a headache and heartache.

Yesterday is the nightmare of today.

There are different kinds of strength via physical, emotional and intelligence. Lacking in one particular strength does not make one weak. What denotes weakness is when giving up becomes the be all end all.

If you've ever gotten asked the question why do you read? My response, because I don't want to be left behind when knowledge is gone.

My friend says never give up on something that makes you happy. So the reply to that was you make me happy. After that awkwardness we did not speak again.

Had friends in middle school that ripped up my notebook with my own stories I wrote for two years. Almost got suspended for fighting my classmates. When asked why I did it. My reply was I spent two years writing my own book. I didn't care if it ever got published that was my hard work! After that day writing on a computer helped... Until I realized I needed a flash drive.

Empathy to put oneself in another's shoes. One day while writing in class, I was asked do you have empathy? It was none other then a bunch of students who were on the student council. My answer to that question was to return said question to them. Despite the laughter, which I received apparently it was a joke of jest to them. I fully answered the question if only to have some peace.

"Honestly yes I have empathy. Rather it is better to say that I wish, that I did not have such a thing. It is rather irksome to have to feel what others feel, which leads to self confidence issues. Or do you want me to say I understand you? Because truthfully I do not understand you."

Needless to say that amiable quote was not put in the yearbook.

November: It is a month where people reflect on what they are thankful for; at least to me. I've never really thought about it before until a year ago. But, if I did than what I am thankful for is being able to write and read. I write most of my stories in a notebook because I honestly love filling up the pages with my own thoughts. Yeah after writing I get terrible hand cramps, but that's just part of the experience.

December:A time to relax and be swept away in melancholic memories. Well for myself I get swept away and with it my writing takes a change. I cannot fathom the change, but say it is a season for odd events.

January:The first of the month an interesting occurrence makes me overjoyed at it. Aside from the new people I get to meet familiar faces join in too. Anyway, my fondness of this month stems from a pack of jellybeans I got as a gift as a child. I still dislike jellybeans to this day, but it was my first gift from my first best friend before departure of time separated us.

Nevertheless, time is forever moving and we are the passengers on this train ride to which only one stop is ahead.

May: Strangely enough summer is coming and I need to get on the ride of endless walking. At the top of the list finding a satisfying read in stores. What? I am getting book starved and I tend to get immersed in stores.

System Reboot by Iwasbored reviews
Ichika Orimura constantly lived under the shadows of the Brunhilde and the genius inventor. He never felt sore about it, but simply admired the two towering above him like the rest of the world did.
