Young people on Alterra must choose. After they complete secondary school, they enroll either in University—a life of science and mathematical pursuits—or Monastery—a life of literature, history and spiritual depth.
Initiate Le is in his final year of school. All his life, he has prepared himself for University, but something feels wrong. Neither University nor Monastery compel him forward.
One night, Le discovers a young man from his school sneaking into a ‘zone,’ a dangerous area where nanotechnology runs rampant, cordoned off from the rest of the city. Against all reason, Le follows Initiate Stok inside. What he discovers will change him and his world forever.
Equal parts love story, military adventure and social philosophy, Alterra is the story of three young men striving to save two estranged parallel worlds whose only hope for survival is to rectify the ancient schism that shattered them both.

Immerse: A Game
High school gaming club. It's not exactly everyone's idea of fun. Only eighteen students are in this club at Elijah High School. Some of them joined willingly and others were dragged along by their friends, but one thing is certain: none of them were expecting Immerse. Sora McAllen is a musical genius with big dreams and crippling anxiety. He hopes to build confidence through bonding with his peers over gaming club, but monsters from his past return to wreck havoc on his mental health. Lerita Iona is an aspiring track athlete for the 2016 Olympics, or, at least, she was until she lost her left leg in a car accident. After a year of recovery, making her comeback should be easy, but her loss of leg is not the only obstacle in her path. Aaron Irisin is an Ivy League wannabe with the brains and athletics to qualify him, but constant distractions prevent his academic prowess from showing itself.

Advancing In The Midst Of Chaos
death no one knows what comes after it, but waking up to finding himself alive yet in a different reality and especially when he has powers that he never expect to gain after meeting with death and came with it the desire to travel to other distant reality burned brightly as he journeys through the vast expanse of the void to find different kinds of realities and opportunities to gain.Complete
Anesthesia for A Cow
An oddity novella I wrote in undergrad, but one that I put a lot of soul into. The story follows three central characters who at different times/ages all interact in unexpected ways to change each others lives. It definitely has some pretension and thinks its more clever than it is, but I still think it's a fun story. I should note that there is a started, but unfinished part two. I may put that up in the future.Complete
When Worlds Collide (MxM)✔
What would you do if you met an alien? Stare, obviously. But what if the roles were reversed, and YOU were the alien? Unfortunately for Kade, stares are the least of his concerns. As the only human on Terra, he must dodge the curious hands of Terrans and Carnivores alike and prove his worth as more than a novelty to the Terran King's Royal Inventor. A typical Isekai story, only instead of being hit by Truck-Kun, he gets blown up by a portal. There will be smut, and animalistic behavior. Be wary of drama and heartfelt romance.
Alterra: Filosofia
(It is highly recommended to read "Alterra: Foreign Eden" before this, as certain characters and events may carry over or be mentioned in passing.) Not every Alterra assignment comes with a battlefield. Some of them come with a class schedule. Kusunoki Sakuta's reassignment to Thasselia brings him to Prometheus Institute, Alterra's prestigious research and academic subsidiary in the heart of Caelum's most scholarly nation. By title, he remains an Android Inspector. In practice, he has been given an office, a student caseload, and the designation of counselor, which means his responsibilities now extend well beyond hardware evaluations and behavioral reports. The students at Prometheus Institute are brilliant, eccentric, and occasionally in genuine need of a functional adult. Whether Sakuta qualifies is a question he has chosen not to examine too closely. Thasselia is a different world from anywhere he has worked before. Its sprawling campus, Olympia, sits like a city unto itself: observatories, research halls, lecture theaters, and the general atmosphere of a place where serious inquiry is the default mode of being. Prometheus Institute draws students from across Caelum, and the lives those students bring with them are complicated in ways no inspection protocol was designed to address. Interpersonal conflicts, academic pressures, questions that arrive in Sakuta's office wearing the face of ordinary paperwork-his new role has a talent for producing exactly the kind of problem he is least equipped to solve.

"Verification note: I, Tyler Sharpe, confirm the copyright complaint 1-5952000041664 submitted to Google LLC regarding an unauthorized edition of Ad Astra - The Alagore War Collection 1 - 7/22/2026." In 2069, the United States was moving toward a second frontier era, a second Manifest Destiny across the solar system. Then, one day, thanks to a strange alien signal, they discovered a hidden facility on Mars. The signal was transmitted through a device considered an ancient decoration but turned out to be a portal to another world. With a series of events, the United States sent one of its most elite teams to this world to investigate, Combat Fire Team-1, also known as Comanche, and discover why the people of Alagore opened a Bridge to their world. Comanche must explore the connections of this new world and the wonders discovered on Mars, confront the darkness known as the Unity in its global conquest, and above all, protect the US and the rest of Earth from this new threat. However, will they be able to discover the secrets of this war or fall victim to all that had come before? This is a original book by PWOFalcon.

The Adventures of Delta Squad: Whispers from the Void
This story is a dramatized and reimagined version of a long-running campaign I've been leading with my friends-a crossover between Starfinder and Dungeons & Dragons. Drawing from our collective notes, dialogue, and in-game events, I've been transforming our weekly adventures into a full-fledged narrative that captures both the chaos and camaraderie of our sessions. The campaign itself is still ongoing, with new chapters unfolding every Friday night, so you can expect fresh story updates every Sunday as our journey continues. The setting is a fully customized Starfinder universe-futuristic in scope and deeply rooted in science-fantasy storytelling. It features an original galaxy of my own creation, complete with unique star systems, civilizations, and more than thirty distinct races, each with their own lore, politics, and mysteries. From sprawling orbital stations and fractured worlds to divine wars and ancient machines, this saga blends high adventure with cosmic wonder. So strap in and enjoy the ride-this universe is vast, dangerous, and still being written.Complete
