"To each of us falls a task. And all the emperor requires of us Guardsmen is that we stand the line and we die fighting. It is what we do best. We die standing."
- General Sturnn, 412th Cadian Shock Trooper Regiment.
Cayden Ludwik was once a citizen of the hive world of Acheron IV. He, like millions of others, was a manufactorum worker, a small cog in a great machine, but soon he would be conscripted to the Astra Militarum. The Imperial Guard. Now, instead of hearing the roaring machines of the Omnissiah, he would hear the constant artillery bombardments of the enemies of mankind, instead of a warm bed within a decayed apartment block, he would have a dugout within his trench, the only warmth coming from his lasgun barrel, and when he stood upon his firestep, fixing his bayonet, ready to charge at the enemies of mankind. He knew he had his faith within the God-Emperor and a story to write within his journal. If he lives.

Black Heart (Akame ga Kill! x Male Reader)
Born as an outsider, (Y/N) was born right on the southeastern border of the Empire in a large town. But with no family or friends, he grew up as homeless orphan, doing whatever to survive. This eventually lead to him fleeing his homeland and living a life in the wilderness with nothing but rags for clothes, a silver urn, and an Imperial Arms with enough power to cause an apocalypse all on its own. This lasted for a few years before he managed to stumble into the Empire's Capital, AKA the Imperial Capital. His first few months weren't much different his earliest days back in his homeland aside that the Empire was much larger and he was much older, larger, wiser and powerful. Without much of an option, (Y/N) quickly turned to a life of criminal activity, leeching off the more corrupt members of society. This would end up in a lot of deaths and the attention of something more than just one man, the Imperial Army. One fateful encounter with an Imperial Officer lead to his capture and being taken into custody. One conversation with the Empire's Minister later and he now served for the Imperial Army directly under the Minister as the "Right Hand Man". After a few months of service, (Y/N) quickly saw that not only the Army was corrupt, but the Empire as a whole. The monsters that people feared most didn't live in the wilderness, but were disguised as people. One day, (Y/N) made a vow: To bring the Revolution. And he would do by any means necessary. However, two things will complicate this process. Night Raid, a group of revolutionary assassins who serve the people and have the same ultimate goal as (Y/N). Esdeath, a general who hails from the northern frontier and is proclaimed as the Empire's Strongest. But (Y/N) didn't expect this to be an easy road. Nothing in his life had ever come easy. But with his goal in mind, his mentality became simple. Anyone that stood in his way will Fade To Black.Completa

Incident at Facility IX
A story set in the Warhammer 40k universe that I entered into the recent Black Library submissions window. A Planetary Defense Force squad led by a former Imperial Guard trooper are sent on a mission to a seemingly innocuous facility in the vast forests of their home world. Before long, the true nature of the situation at Facility IX becomes clear, and the squad are in a fight for their lives against a terrifying and insidious enemy. The work was not selected to be taken any further, so I am uploading it here in the hopes that someone will still be able to enjoy it. Please let me know what you think!Completa

Castor Aethon, Victrix Guard of the Ultramarines, was a warrior of the Imperium, a living weapon forged for war. But when a Lord of Change casts him through a Warp rift, he is exiled to a dead world-a ruined Terra, long broken by war. Stranded in the year 2121, he finds only lawless warlords, fractured remnants of civilization, and a people lost without purpose. With no way home, he sets his sights on a new goal: to rebuild the Imperium in this fallen world. He begins his conquest in the ruins of an ancient military fortress, cutting down those who resist and forging an army from the ashes. To some, he is a conqueror. To others, salvation. But all will submit. If this world has no Emperor, then he will be its guiding hand-and its sword.
Marsh Silas III: Exemplars
(Book Four in the Marsh Silas series) Three years since the 1333rd Cadian Regiment made a final stand at Army's Meadow, Marsh Silas and the men of Bloody Platoon have veiled themselves in glory. Stars of the 10th Kasrkin Regiment, they have achieved countless victories both on the battlefield and in the halls of regimental command. Marsh Silas and Seathan Hyram are known well, for good and ill, as upstart idealists. Yet, their plans for the future of Cadia are cut short. Astropaths whisper of distress messages from all the way in Segmentum Pacificus: Orks rampage across the segmentum and now target key worlds in the hopes of inspiring a new WAAAGH! Marsh Silas must rally his veterans as well as the rabble of many disparate new recruits to not only defeat the green menace, but continue their effort to reform the Astra Militarum. However, far away, another seeker must contend with her own band of new arrivals and disparate forces. The former captive Maerys Desrigale, an outcast Pathfinder, returns to the Aeldari fold. Helping to build a wider coalition of distant Craftworlds, she and the Band of Kurnous plan to begin a war with the orks to hunt a rogue, but will soon contend with greater tests of their divided spirits.Completa
A Legend Reborn.
The Golden Age- When the Traveler arrived, a time of peace, prosperity, and infinite possibility sprouted from Earth. Mankind had launched hundreds- if not, thousands- of journeys across the system, connecting Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, even Mercury into an increasingly large web of life and technology. Fast forward to the end of the Golden Age- The Collapse and the Dark Age- alien races surge forth from outside the system- the Eliksni, the Hive, The Cabal, The Vex- all coming for the Traveler. He fought them all, sending his Light, his Power out, crushing the opposition. Then, He was crippled, retreating to a small town. Fast forward to the beginning of our age- The City Age- With His dying breath, The Traveler created the Ghost- small machines that can revive those capable of wielding the Light- His Power- and fight the Darkness. The Hunters scout out terrain, reclaim Dead Zones, and are the eyes and ears of the City- the Warlocks research the secrets of the fundamental ideas of the Darkness, predict future events, and enthrall themselves in the workings of the Light to understand it and to find new ways to work it into the Guardians arsenal- and finally, the Titans, Defenders of the Last City, and the burning lights of hope in the shadows. Honor-driven. Leaders. Warriors. The Protectors of Humanity. Deeply intertwined in the history of the Last City. What happens when one is reborn and becomes one of the few able to wield the flame of hope as his own, to burn off the shackles of darkness that have been crushing humanity's will and hope to dust, What happens when he experiences so much tragedy, so much pain, that he delves into the shadows? What happens, when he finally snaps? And what happens to his loved ones when they are forced to put him down? And what will his Legend become, if he himself threatens the safety of the Last City. --------------- Thanks go out to the wonderful girl that most would know as @ShadowPine for the Cover art. Thanks Kobi!!!!Completa
