What kind of nightmare lies between dream and reality? An inescapable place exists in the deepest depths of the mind where a clawed predator is on the prowl. Desperately running away or hiding is the prey's only hope for survival. And waking up is but a temporary relief as the sky must darken again. Pure mental torment. This is the gruesome fate of Dionte Harris on the first night of December. The new month brings a chilling ordeal that's impossible to forget, even long after the sun rises. When acts of betrayal can't be tried in a court of law, two victims sentence their enemies with their own punishment. These prisoners might not ever experience a peaceful sleep, and the wounded pair responsible can receive satisfaction in their suffering. Unless a beacon of light from above provides an exit, illuminating a path for the lost through the darkness.

Kielran was more than an assassin-he was the Vauxvermil's masterpiece. A phantom shaped by discipline, sharpened by death, and unleashed upon the world with ruthless precision. Their most prized weapon. Their perfect creation. Until he vanished without a trace... Now, he is no one. A ghost in the quiet, living by the sea, untouched by the blood-soaked empire that once owned him. His hands are steady, untainted. His mind is at peace. But peace was never meant for a weapon like him. The Vauxvermil have uncovered the impossible. Kielran is alive. And they will drag him back-no matter the cost. His return is not salvation. It is an omen. Because if he remembers who he was... the world will remember what he is. And what he is should have stayed buried in the abyss. Because once the Crimson Requiem begins... it will not stop. Not until the only thing left in its wake is a symphony of death. ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ What will happen when the world's deadliest assassin no longer answers to anyone? Will he return as their weapon... or rise as their executioner? Read at your own risk. Some ghosts come back to haunt. Others come back to kill.

20 years ago, the world was on the brink of extinction when the Galactic Federation saved Earth. Since then, humans pledged their loyalty to serve them. Human's connection with one of the higher beings in the universe, resulted in Earth's civilization rising to a higher level. Two decades passed and new generations rose. I, Alexa Stanfield, a 20-year-old college student, found out that the Galactic Federation saved Earth for a dark purpose. For two decades, we've been conscripted and nurtured under the guise of care, only to unveil our grim fate as pawns in an Intergalactic conflict, thrust into a war we never signed up for. The previous species that Galactic Federation sent were annihilated quickly. Therefore, they were forced to use us, as their new human army, opposing the plan's timing. My friends and I were selected as candidates with the resilience to withstand mind manipulation. We endured an intense training regimen that was more like a deadly game of survival. The Federation believed that this was the only way to prepare us for the war since they have no time to waste on conventional methods. My friends and I share an unbreakable bond and loyalty, soon to be challenged by the most harrowing trials. Armed with only our school learning and raw life experiences, we'll face murder, death, sacrifices, and betrayal. A kid, old, man, or woman, there's no exception, regardless of age or gender. Our training ground? Safira, a verdant moon planet. This is the story of our involvement in the most intense training of our lives.

Wendell Chestna is the complete package; he's a beautiful prince with riches and has not a fault inside of him. A made-up fantasy because of his royal position, but he is only human. A high title doesn't just produce false assumptions, but it's quite difficult to determine the sincerity of people's kindness. His father's recent death after a long war leaves Wendell in a stressful predicament. Their law dictates the eldest son must claim the throne upon reaching seventeen years of age, which he will turn in the next three months. Making matters even worse, his mother sets an arranged marriage with some nobleman's daughter. This union would grant them an ally in this nation, all at the cost of her hand, but she is not the girl Wendell plans to wed. Instead, he hopes to make a sweet peasant-one who dwells in the poorest village-his lifelong companion, Kana Littleton. Queen Althelia proposes a simple deal. If the lovestruck boy can get a favorable answer before the set time limit, he is free to espouse her over Blanche. These conditions are generous enough; however, will Kana accept him for the right reasons? Is her love a pure, honest emotion from within or only swayed by his status and wealth? Under a foreign boy persona, Wendell will discover if they're truly meant to marry. But as lies start piling up to conceal his double life, whose heart is really being put to the test? Meanwhile, another war thought to have ended is slowly approaching...

Soon to be published after the Part 1-INVASION: Wildest Game

All Alex Carter wanted wanted to do for Summer was stay home, prepare for his senior year of highschool and confess to Mia. Simple, right? Unfortunately, after his dog Max woke up one morning and chose chaos in form of a pebble-sized crystal that he found in his backyard, Alex's summer took a turn. A dramatic, multiversal turn. Every time Alex thinks he's grasping the slightest bit of normalcy, something even weirder happens-demon squirrels, Max turning into a boy, transmigrating, being isekai'd into different worlds, and oh yeah, a system that somehow threatens to erase his entire existence. Can Alex survive this wild adventure, or will he embrace the madness and just roll with the punches (and the portals)?.
