A Phannies award-winning story.

My first published piece of Phantasy Star fanfiction, and by far my most popular work to date. One year after Phantasy Star II, Rolf must confront and conquer both his inner demons and a mad Dezorian leader in order to learn of and accept his destiny.

Two years ago, an Agent named Rolf stepped forward to free Algo from the technological evil known as Mother Brain. Stripped of all the luxuries Mother Brain provided, the people of Mota were forced to overcome hardships they had believed were remnants of the past to build themselves a new future. Now, an unspeakable evil sends its infamous apostle back to Algo, to destroy all that Mota has gained on the path to the destruction of the very system itself. Rolf faces his greatest adversary yet... as King Lassic returns to Algo.

There seems to be so much going on "behind the scenes" during Phantasy Star III that I wanted to novelize Rhys's Adventures in an attempt to flesh these unseen events out. Of all my stories, this one is probably second in popularity only to Agent's Destiny.

A Phannies award-winning story.

This is a story I wanted to write for a long, long time. It's a little different than any of my other fanfics, but it's a story that just came to me one day and I knew I had to write it.

Kyra Tierney's faith in her people's legends was destroyed the day Rune Walsh took her to Esper Mansion's Inner Sanctum and revealed, "Lutz is not here... He left this world long ago." Two years later, Kyra is now a hurt, betrayed young woman. Only one thing can restore her faith in her people's legends and her people's leader -- love. Kyra Tierney is about to hear a story few in Algo have ever heard before -- the story of the greatest love the Algo Star System has ever seen.

These are very short stories that document important but unseen events in the Phantasy Star universe, such as the spaceship crash that killed Rolf's parents, or the original meeting of Rhys and Maia. I feel they're very fun stories, but because they're so short, my other work tends to overshadow them.

If you enjoy these, I very much encourage you to visit the main Phantasy Star Ultimate Brief Adventures page, where you will find several more Brief Adventures written by my Phantasy Star Ultimate partner, James Maxlow.
