Creations
Mana has been creating stories and characters since 2nd grade, though started taking it seriously as time went on.

Cat Kid
Cat Kid was a story about animal-based superheroes, which could be considered Mana's first attempt at a story and characters. Some characters included Cat Kid, Bunny Baby, Puppy Person, and Horse Human. One of the main plot points involved the crew falling into a vat of acid and turning emo. There was also a vampire cat dude.

Luna the Werecat
Luna the Werecat was a story about a "were-cat", which was basically a space-inspired cat demon with wings. There may have been moments of romance and royalty, though the Luna character appeared as Mana's pet in her eventual main story.

Queen of Games
Queen of Games was the first of Mana's serious stories, which involved the Queen of the World, Queen Mana, fighting against the villain Seth Nightwish and the power of the Seal. Mana had a magical amulet which contained the souls of various queens/different alteregos for Mana, which Creator-Mana lists as: Me but a rapper (Peri J), Me but a sexy super saiyan (Aurum), Me but an Ancient Egyptian Queen (Retep, who acted as Mana's main partner), Me but a nervous Panda Girl, The Panda Girl's older sexier alterego, Me but a sexy Greek Warrior Goddess (Athena, which was just a normal warrior and not the acutal goddess), Me but a space themed super hero (Nova/Super Nova), and herself and Peri J as guys. She also had a shy friend named Rose, who was secretly possessed by Seth. It was very Yu-Gi-Oh inspired.

Part 2 of Queen of Games was about future queen Jade and her brother Jaden, who are struggling with the disappearance of their mother Mana. Jade befriends Chris and his sister Onishi, where Onishi secretly had Mana's soul inside her, but also had two alteregos within her own amulet named "Blue" and "Color". Jaden and Onishi also had music personas, with Onishi using an alias "Anna Lee".

Queen of Games
Queen of Games Part 2 continued throughout Mana's middle school years, consisting of less Yu-Gi-Oh inspirations and involved Jade (now named Rei), Chris, Blake, and Onishi (now named Kizuna) traveling to an alternate dimension as a means for adventure. Blake became more angsty, Kizuna became even more of Mana's self insert, and Rei was bland and cocky.

MAR (First Version)
MAR was a spinoff to Queen of Games following Queen Agent Neon, who was a secret agent alongside her boyfriend Oku-chan, who was secretly the superhero rival to Neon. Neon was a toxic person aiming to kill Oku-chan's superhero identity, without knowing it was her boyfriend. Onishi also reincarnated as a fox magical girl.

High School
Mana began to take story telling seriously in high school, which involves most of the Manaverse stories found on this wiki. Near the end of high school, she narrowed down the stories to focus on to the "Big Three"; the DOTSverse stories, Empiretale, and AuAg.

Some other stories made and worked on during high school (in no particular order) includes:

Rivals of Prisma/Powershift: Mana had always wanted to create a story about two rivals, Red and Blue, though struggles to make their story work. Mana considers it mostly scrapped.

MAR (Second Version)/Blue Light: Mana revamped the initial MAR storyline to be focused on a new character, Agent Blue, and the Color Agency, which were all new concepts to the MAR universe. Neon and Oku-chan are seemingly scrapped, with Mana considering Blue the main character as he tries to take control of his life when someone he trusts turns it into a game.

Sky Games: A comedy story about a couple of players in a giant MMO roleplaying just a little too hard.

Dream.exe: One of Mana's favorites of the "lower priority" stories, Mana hopes to make it into an RPG someday. Characters Morgan, Gale, and Val all try to find their way home by traveling through dreams, with Morgan themself trying to stop the scientist who trapped them there.

A Story Told: Two knights of the Argent Kingdoms take down a plot by the Or Kingdoms to utilize fairies to take control of both kingdoms. With the help of their new fairy friend Omega Nature, the two knights aim to save the kingdom, as well as the fallen Azure Kingdom.

Secrets of the Gem Council: Another one of Mana's favorite "lower priority" stories, the wizard Silver Moonstone goes on an adventure to solve a decade-long murder mystery, while fighting against forces who prevent her from finding the truth. Turns out, life as a vagabond is quite dangerous.

Zero Percent: One of the very few non-fantasy and comedy stories Mana has made, Zero Percent is a comedy series about a punk band trying to make it in the world.

[https://manaverse.fandom.com/wiki/Peach_Soldier_Go! Peach Soldier Go!:] A satire comedy series about an over-the-top anime, utilizing cliché anime tropes to portray what could be a serious story.

Last Light: The last of Mana's favorites of her "lower priority" stories, detective Evangeline Hunt and her new partner Xander are sent to the city of Darkside to investigate its decrepit state, where the dead and angry become immortal monsters.

Dragon Destiny: The story of Dragon Destiny was about the trio of artificial dragon/human hybrids Aqua, Ultra, and Quinn trying to discover the secrets of their creation, especially when they come into contact with the mysterious Gray Dragon, Storm Gray. Mana believes Storm might be upgraded to be the main protagonist, though no further updates have been made.

Beyond Repair: Erin, a human, accidentally falls into a secret science facility. While trying to escape alongside the android Bluebot, she meets the human "TK" and aims to free the androids from their abuse by the Eris System.

Black Blossom: Asher is a freshman in a college in a faraway town. While trying to cope with his new stresses, he unknowingly gets possessed by an alien parasite. He meets the mute alien girl Wisteria, who's on a mission to destroy the parasite. The two become roommates, and Wisteria tries to destroy the parasite before Asher gets fully consumed by his stress.

Infinity Crisis: Mana's attempt at a virtual reality game related story. When finding a dangerous AI within the game, Michael's best friends become harmed by it. Rather than confronting the creators on their carelessness or working with the team aiming to destroy the AI, he accidentally unleashes a band of assassins upon everyone he's ever come into contact with.

Seth the Vampire Witch: In a modern world of humanoid monsters, Seth's delinquency comes in handy when she saves a now-fallen angel from his execution. Jarah, the fallen angel, learns to question the world around him as Seth teaches him how to embrace his new Demonic nature.

College
As Mana created more and more stories in high school, she swears she's sworn off of story-making and instead chooses to focus on the Big Three (DOTS:DR, Empiretale, and AuAg). However, she understands the importance of "throwaway stories"; stories that allow her to explore her writing, character design, and development without having any impact on potential project she plans to do in the future.

Aura Signal
In the DOTS universe, there exists an anime known as Aura Signal which has reached commercial success. The characters Ruby, Cobalt, and Jay are obsessed with it.

The actual plot of Aura Signal is an apocalyptic Juno, where beacons of light have reigned terror on the citizens. The Azure Avengers' initial goal was to destroy the Azure Aura Signal in hopes to free their city of Blues, Cyans, and Azures from its power. While Azura, Jay, Marina and her androids, and Ruri work towards this goal, their fellow allies and boss General Kyanite aim to utilize its power in order to control the people. Jay struggles to cope with trauma relating to the Aura Signal, while Azura tries to get used to being the newest Azure Avenger and keeping their goal alive.
