There's no looking back. As the enforcer of the good, the Champion must battle the evil that threatens the human civilization. He has no origins to clutch onto for his insecurities; however, he still marches onward, ravaging the wicked to realize his distant dream of becoming a hero. He hopes for the day he is hailed as a legend, never to be forgotten by even the most frail and feeble. However, his worst foe is the darkness that settles within him, uncontested and thirsty for control. It threatens to consume him, to pour out in uncontrolled fury as an empty past continues to haunt him. His sole anchor to the mortal world is Shimmer, a gifted magician who tames the other-worldly champion like a prized stallion. Without her, he will succumb to the evil voice that would make him spiral into turmoil along with everything else. Even with a guiding light, the Champion is still lured by eternal darkness, where he will be lost forever with nothing to save him. Desolation will be his only company. In the war between choice and fate, which one will emerge as the victor? 2nd place in The Glossy Awards 2nd place in The Golden Awards 2nd place in The Spring Awards 2nd place in The Dark Magic Awards 3rd place in The Ruby Awards

"Hope, children, and never once let in. For it is written that a single candle can withstand the darkness, even now, in our most desperate hour." "Though the end days have come at last, and the sun falls for the last time beyond the dim horizon, we must still have hope, being that the unlikeliest of heroes and the greatest and most difficult of adventures can emerge from the darkest of days." ~*~ The gods are silent, and the people's desperate prayers of healing and aid go mysteriously unanswered. Rumors and talk of monstrous, horrific dragons killing anything in sight are whispered in taverns and pubs, with the added murmurs of draconic creatures that stand on two feet like a man followed close behind. When the elven capital of Lyrenbel is destroyed and half its population slaughtered, a chain of events suddenly brings together a disgraced knight, an old dwarf, a mage that hides his insecurities behind a mask of arrogance, a traumatized Sylvari and an orphaned Sylvanaar, and sets them forth on a path that none of them ever wanted to be on. They are expected to be saviors, heroes that come from a child's bedtime story. But they are not fighting against a normal dragon, or other mythical creature. They are fighting against an all powerful god. They carry the weight of the world on their shoulders as they begin walking down their long and winding road, yet they will fight until the very end, despite the tension that grows between them with each passing day. Their chances of success are slim, and if they do succeed, they will not return as the same person. If they return at all. ***book 1 of three*** ***this book is related to my other book, Heart of the Winter King, as it takes place in the same universe, but it can be read without it***

This short novel, 'Dark Souls: The First Flame', is a collection of short stories showing what Lordran, the city of lords, was like before the events of the original Dark Souls created by Fromsoftware. I am a long time fan of the series and have tried to include some of the lore, whilst creating my own bit of fiction around the four lords of the original game. None of these stories are cannon and are simply for a bit of fun.

"Who are you?" "Who the hell are you?!" "You better tell me who you are!!!" "I'll shoot!!! I will! Who are you, dammit?!" "W-who are you...? What do you want...?" "Remove your hood, you bastard!! Show us who you are!!!" Who I am doesn't matter. I don't have an identity that's worth mentioning or knowing. I have one goal. One dream. And I will achieve it, even if I have to murder the whole damn human race. I do not believe in mercy, in empathy, or anything humane. I was conditioned into an emotionless, apathetic person. Titans are not humanities only enemy, now. They are not the only ones killing them anymore. The criminals, known and unknown, will fall to me. Whether it'd be to my hand, my bullet, or my blade. You think you can stop me? You need to find me first. |Book 2, Red Terror, is now published| #1 in ShingekinoKyojin highest ranking #1 in Readerxvarious highest ranking #1 in Attack on Titan highest ranking #1 in MikasaAckerman highest ranking #1 in ErenJaeger highest ranking #1 in Adrenaline highest ranking #1 in Hanji highest ranking #1 in Horror highest ranking #1 in LeviAckerman highest ranking #1 in Rivaille highest ranking #2 in ErwinSmith highest ranking #3 in Horror-Thriller highest ranking #3 in ArminArlert highest ranking #3 in Psychology highest ranking #6 in LeviHeichou highest ranking (This story is now on FicFun/Dreame and will be published on other platforms soon) (I own nothing!)
