Behind all the dreams of glamour and glory lies an insatiable secret hiding behind the fragile veil between the hopeful dreams of prosperity - upon the eldritch reality awaiting just outside the city walls, where terrible horrors watched and loomed as the everyman toils their meagre lives, awaiting the moment to reveal themselves.
Those sacrifices made by those who were unlucky to encounter these terrors shall not be forgotten, and The Horrors of Apocrypha codified these perilous events for the world to see.

Angelic Omen
Omen is no stranger to torture. To pain. He is a torture demon, after all - adapted to suffering and bringing pain to his adversaries. But this is only physical. When it comes to mental infliction... he is entirely vulnerable. This wasn't a problem for him until he's sent out on the mission he's been trained since birth to do. Suddenly, he's seeing vivid, violent moments in time of past, present, and future, from seeing his future self murdering people he's met to sights from hundreds of years earlier, of a distant relative who had seeked to do exactly what Omen had come to achieve. But these were no ghosts of Christmas past, present, and yet to come. Only one spirit was behind all of this. A dark, vengeful spirit who would stop at nothing to achieve his master plan. --- !DISCLAIMER!

War of religions
Prologue What if I told you our world is a lie? A fragile stage where hidden gods move us like chess pieces, their celestial fingers dripping with the blood of mortal suffering. I didn't believe it... until they tore the veil from my eyes and cast me into the screaming darkness. This is the truth they kill to conceal: We were never meant to see behind the curtain. My name is Eva, and I am the mistake the gods wish they had erased. To survive their games, I'll bargain with the Devil himself. To win, I'll need my father's blessing. And to end this war that has raged since before light touched the Earth... I'll have to become something worse than the monsters hunting me. They want to use me as their pawn. I will be the hand that flips the board. ⚠️ THIS BOOK IS 100% FICTION ⚠️ All characters, events, and worlds depicted are products of the author's imagination.

Haunteds 2: Church of the Primordial Void
Being the first haunted to defeat the Shade, Vergil Torres should have been swelling with joy and pride. After all, he saved his friends and learned secrets not even 50 years of Shade Study could discover. Yet, this victory came at a heavy toll. The guilt over Eris's death. The regret of finding out the truth of the Cult. And the heavy burden of stopping Azgarmoth, the source of the mysterious Shade, from entering their world, knowing that failure means that life as they know it will end, all weighs heavily on the 16-year-old high school student. To make matters worse, because of the seal Vergil undid, the still-operating cult is now more powerful than ever, commanding an army of Shades and cultists embedded in various aspects of society. Their only hope lies with one History and Sociology Professor, who seems to be the only one to know more about the lost legend of the city of Bastillio, the legend of the Star People, and the Celestials. The stakes are higher than ever as they prepare to meet with the professor under false names and disguises. They must learn all they can of the legend, if it is even the same one, and treat every citizen they encounter as a potential cultist out to kill them.Complete
