Why, hello there! I have risen from the grave of eternal laziness!!
Ayana Mikain is the name!
Holy guac. It has been a while. Do I still know how to make a blog entry? How do I even publish one?! *plays around with the site once again*
Alright, jokes aside. My blogging skills are rusty, buuuuut nothing that can’t be polished and re-trained. Right?
So many things have happened in my life in the previous year. I’ve always hidden behind the laziness excuse. But in reality, I just couldn’t shake off that paralyzing fear of writing. I’m a non-native speaker, and there are times I feel so stupid and airheaded that I have a hard time translating or articulating words in my head, hahaha.
That, and also because there’s so many things that happened – personally, and on a macro-level.
It was a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs. I can’t remember much (gosh, I need more coffee… a stronger one!!). But here’s a couple of good things that happened:
- We adopted a new puppy!! Our Gucci has a sibling now, Sachi! I’ll post about her in another entry.
- Speaking of Gucci… he’s already a year old! Man, I can’t believe he’s already a year old! It just feels like yesterday when I first held him in my arms… *wipes a tear off face*
But anyway, enough about that for now. Let me focus on the reason for this entry, lol.
I’ve dipped back into writing! *throws confetti around*
No, wait… not just dipped… It was a full dive! Can you believe it?!
Yeah, I can’t believe it either. Everything still feels so surreal!
Here’s what I’ve been working on.
Rhapsodia Chronicles: Into a World of Illusions
A nation built on light. A crown forged in shadow.
Across the vast reaches of Arcalis, the primal power of the Arcana was once a symphony of magic. But every note of power carries a terminal cost. To wield the light is to invite a creeping rot — a shadow that hungers for the soul, transforming even the gifted into the very monsters they were meant to destroy.
On one fateful night in the heart of the Arcadian Kingdom, that shadow finally consumed the throne.
Princess Resha, the sole witness to her family’s slaughter, was cast into a world of ash — her past swallowed by the darkness that took everything from her. Years later, the Ciphers — polluted shards of fallen monsters — have begun spreading across the land, and someone is wielding them.
Together with the mysterious Cipher hunter Yuhan, Resha navigates a world where even heroes are merely monsters in waiting. Resha must reclaim the truth of her past and rise as a herald of dawn before the corruption claims her future.
In a world of absolute power, the final movement has begun.
And in the rhapsody of Arcalis, where the Arcanas and Ciphers hum — how much of your humanity are you willing to lose?

P.S. I’ve already posted something about this before. But of course, that version has been tossed out. I had a bad habit of writing something… then tossing it out in the digital garbage.
Ayana's corner!
