Cedar is dreaming. Her dreams are the same every night- she's running away from an unnamed darkness. And every night, she sees a boy. Every night, she jumps out to grasp his hand. She constantly misses, waking up in a cold sweat.
Cedar needs to figure out why she's having these dreams, and more importantly, how to get rid of them. But that boy isn't just a figment of her imagination. He was a real person, who had gone missing one year ago after claiming to have the same nightmares every night for weeks.
When Cedar finally catches his hand, she finds out that the darkness has a purpose- to take over everyone and everything it possibly can.
In this tale of three stone pillars, three worlds, and three keys, Cedar and the mysterious boy quest to stop the darkness, once and for all.
"Trust no one. Not even yourself. Because, chances are, the darkness has you, too."

Even the Stars Forgot Her Name.
Even the Stars Forgot Her Name She wasn't trying to disappear. It just started happening-one forgotten moment at a time. At seventeen, Haley feels like the world has quietly moved on without her. She goes to school, she comes home, she scrolls through life like it's happening to someone else. Her parents are always too busy, her old friends have new lives, and no one seems to notice how quiet she's become-or how much it hurts. She used to dream big. Now she just dreams of being seen. Then one night, in a haze of insomnia and scrolling, Haley finds an anonymous online forum where people share the things they're too scared to say out loud. And something about their pain-the raw honesty, the way it mirrors her own-pulls her in. As the nights stretch on and the stars stay silent, Haley starts to connect with others who feel like ghosts in their own lives. In their stories, she finds flickers of light. Maybe she isn't invisible. Maybe she isn't broken beyond repair. Maybe being lost doesn't mean you'll never be found. This is a quiet, aching story about loneliness, unseen pain, and the fight to remember who you are-especially when the world forgets.Complete

Outland: Red Ledgers of a Demon Hunter
Terra Firma is gone. Mankind has descended. Demons rule the new world. In the aftermath of Biblical Desolation, Man's last dregs have fled to Outland---an accursed realm beneath the Earth, ruled by the Demonic forces of Chaos. Two factions, the Tantalus Consortium and the Terran Republic, battle each other and the uncanny frontiers around them in endless cycles of war. Demons, garbed in man-made flesh, wander the haunted places of this world, seeking whom they may devour. But God is not silent in the face of His people's suffering. Judges, chosen by the Angels, and their Slayer attendants follow these evils into their unholy lairs, steering both empires toward the light as Demons vie to keep humanity trapped in the dark. Two wars, one material and one spiritual, forever ravage the landscape, every new battle threatening to be the one that finishes what Desolation started. The Judges sponsored many great heroes, but none so well-known as Alptraum the Chaos-Eater--a Nephilim warrior from another realm who turned his back on sin and swore his sword to the Lord, becoming one of God's most fearsome warriors against creatures of the night. The Chaos-Eater fell contending for the faith, but he is succeeded by a son, hardened by strife and ordained by tragedy to follow on his warpath. This man, armed with a Heaven-forged Magic Sword, will wade knee-deep into the legions of the damned, carving a path toward salvation for all who cry out in direst need. He is Tony Slade, Exiled Ranger of the Terran Republic, and these are the stories that began his legend. For fans of Gothic horror with a cyberpunk twist, adrenaline-pumping action, and wholesome family values. Expect violence, heinous cruelty, the best and worst of humanity in unflinching detail, constant drug abuse, and a distressing lack of diplomatic solutions to interpersonal conflicts. This is your first and only warning.
Mountains and Seas: Providence
Excerpt from the "Classic of All Nations: Begonia Chronicles - Astronomy" Year 5303 of the Yellow Emperor's Calendar, corresponding to 2596 AD. In the twelfth lunar month, on the day of Spring Beginning, within an unnamed mountain stream at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, spiritual energy re-emerged. Wisp by wisp, it drifted forth, ethereal and transcendent. The spiritual stream flowed, blessing the land. Later generations would name this: The Origin of Destiny. Was it a single stone that shook heaven and earth? Or was it a seed that chose to break through the dust of history... Is the history of human society merely the history of humans themselves? The Land of Begonia, the Nation of Tsunamis, the Tower of Ocean Currents, the Confederation of Cities-four great powers, with undercurrents surging beneath the surface. And beyond these great powers, various factions lie dormant, their intentions unclear. Gu Li, bearing the secret of the Nuwa Stone, is abducted to a mysterious church and reduced to an power test subject. What secrets will she uncover? In the "Land of Begonia," five great families answer the call of destiny, protecting this realm by the mandate of heaven. When the monsters from the laboratory break their chains, when development transcends ethics, when order and morality cease to exist... where will humanity turn?

Adventure Forward: The Grand Narrative [Not Rewriting, Read Desc]
[This will be rewritten under a whole new book, all from scratch and hopefully adds more to what I've started and ended in these two books. To give it more life as this has missed potentials here and there. Only chapters before the Vintage Voltage chapter have been rewritten here. The rest will be untouched.] [A sequel exists! Completely optional to read as it takes place after af3 vr, making it mostly head canon/my own concept] Two saviours, fated to save the world from conflict, unaware of the real truth of their adventure, only for their lives to turn upside down in the hands of a so-called deity. But when things got better and those affected from the conflict slowly piece together their broken lives, a new problem arises- in need of a third saviour to save their reality from shattering into nothing. The good and bad of this story is unclear, but one thing is sure: this is a tale of their lives, adventures and their struggles.

Techno Knights - Corruption of Heroes
The third installment of the Techno Knight Saga. Centuries ago, Tim, a Techno Knight gifted with 'Forever Young', was summoned alongside fifty heroes from Earth to vanquish a rising demon lord. Their fight is over. But three hundred years later a new demon lord rises and fifty more heroes are summoned. But as the battle neared, Tim refused to join them, choosing instead a path of solitude, weary of war and the cycle of destruction that came with it. He thought they could handle it without him. He was wrong. The hero mages, once summoned as Earth's greatest champions, fell to temptation, power twisting them into tyrants as cruel as the enemy they were meant to destroy. Cities burned. Villages were slaughtered. And Tim, the one who might have stopped it, watched in silence, paralyzed by the weight of his own regret. Now, he has sworn to end them-to stop the heroes who betrayed their purpose, to erase the horrors they've unleashed upon the world. But everything changes when Tama, a kemonomimi survivor of their cruelty, stumbles into his life. Scarred by loss, shaped by solitude, she is living proof of the devastation Tim failed to prevent. Yet, instead of hatred, she offers him trust-a fragile bond built through shared grief, quiet understanding, and the possibility of redemption. Together, they must navigate a world ravaged by war, haunted by memories, and teetering on the edge of collapse. Can Tim truly atone for his inaction? Can Tama move past her scars? Or will the specters of vengeance consume them both before they have a chance to heal? A tale of war, redemption, and unexpected sanctuary, this story explores the blurred lines between heroism and monstrosity, solitude and found family, guilt and the hope for something more.Complete
