'The world has its Gods, and its Devils too . . .'
The misfit. Denrele Ọrẹoluwa Balogun was set apart because he had the same red hair as those who have the ability to control fire. But while he lacked that ability, this didn't stop the society from treating him differently, until the day he set the world on fire . . .
The assassin. Cass was only in The Damned Lands for one reason and there were supposed to be no detours. But what's a girl got to do when she met the intriguing Denrele and mistakenly killed hundreds of people? Definitely not kill more people, but that's what Cass-and Denrele-did anyway.
Two connected people find themselves working together to save their lives and the lives of people they love, but the more they run, the more they seem to be entangled in a web of conspiracies from The Blessed Lands. However, sometimes, all you have to do is let the world burn.

She was born to save humankind. A world belonging to humans, was taken away by ruthless homomorphs. These are group of species who were genetically modified by the demons. They took humans as their enemy and tortured them for their amusement. These species also controlled magic belonging to different elements in nature. In this universe, the only one who held magic were the demons themselves. Homomorphs were partially controlled by the demons and hence had magic limited to a certain extent. The demon's sole purpose was to make Earth a living hell for humans. Amongst humans and Homomorphs, their lived an unknown species known as Zoladas. They resided on entirely different planet and no one knows why they existed. The only ones who can solve such mysteries were Saitekies. They were born when a homomorph marries a human.

Hence, they could use magic to an unlimited extent. No one clearly knows about the origins of Saitekies. Midorika herself was a descendent of the Saiteki dynasty. Every Saiteki serves a purpose when he or she is born but what was Midorika's purpose? Will she survive in the world which hated Saitekies?

When Gods Cry
In Atlusa, when the war between good and evil ended, the people were forever divided into two tribes, the Kasuhi and the Amathu. The gods marked the Kasuhi with the mark of good for they had supported them while the Amathu were given the mark of evil for opposing the gods. They then gave the Kasuhi dominion over the Amathu so that evil would never raise again and to prevent another war from happening.

Yet within their midst, Muma confronts a reality that dismantles his beliefs. The once clear line between good and evil blurs, challenging his convictions, his sense of purpose, and belonging. In this spellbinding tale, deception, secrets, magic, gods, and the irresistible pull of destiny propel Muma toward choices that will define the fate of a world on the brink of uncertainty and destruction.Complete
The Day the Ocean Burned || A Song of Purple Summer Spinoff
"Embracing the fear, chasing the fight The glow of the fire will light up the night" *** The ocean burned. Boiling blue and flaming red and thick, black smoke filling the sky. Heavy silence on the mainland and screaming below the waves, the Sun high, the Moon obscured. A battle changes into slaughter, a war into occupation, a man into legend. This is the story of the Day the Ocean Burned. *** On midsummer day, 3050, the power of Phoinix reaches its peak, as one of their leaders appears at the frontlines to set the ocean ablaze for an entire day, in an attempt to force the enemy nation of Nerinea into surrender. It's a flawless plan: only the opposing side will have casualties, and everyone will be saved from further fighting. But the price of victory is high - higher than Phoinix's first consul is willing to pay. As soon as the order is given, his hands will be blood-stained, and all eyes will be on him. This is the story of a man who wanted anything but become a legend. *** This short story is a spinoff and prequel of my fantasy-stories A Song of Purple Summer and The Day the Ocean Burned. While it could be read as a standalone, it makes more sense in context. TW: genocide from the perspective of those to blame for it, who through religious and cultural fanatism and radical militarisation are convinced that they are in the right.

Niko Wuyts - The Crown of Treason
A story of a war so grand in scale and epic in stakes that even the gods had a no choice but to join. Like heroes of ancient Troy Iwan Falcau reflects: In my life I have known three gods. The first was the god of my childhood, the one I lost when I reached the age of thinking. The second was the voice in my head, which turned out to be my own. The third was the god on paper, forged in the collective mind of those who knew and those that understood the story. While the gods still walk the unseen roads few men control the forces of magic. And never resting, the eternal battle between the powerful and powerless, progresses one step in an ever-lasting waltz between them. Onwards Ewan rides as the city burns around him. But one thought fills his mind: To protect the ones he loves and maybe make a difference.Complete
A Priestess for the Blind God (Legends of Rahasia Book 1)
"The Blind God walks around me, and I feel my mind prodded again like it was in the cavern, a spider weaving a tangled web. "Would you do anything to be remembered, Ode, even play a villain, the one who rises against the Chosen One?" In answer, I draw my dagger and make a slight incision against my thumb. Blood drips down, hot against my flesh. I hold my hand out as an oath, a promise. My ghouls hiss, yearning to drink. "I would rather reign over darkness than grovel as a servant to the light." *FEMALE ROBIN HOOD MEETS ONE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS* Ode Ngayoh is the only child of a bloodthirsty desert warlord. When the Blind God chooses her as champion, she's deemed a dark witch, a blemish against the Empire for her necromantic powers of summoning ghūls, the undead. Facing off against the prince and his handsome lover, Ode stands alone with the cursed god's favor. However, the more Ode defends the outcasts of the Empire, the more she finds herself being labelled a villain...

Double fire🔥
She breathes fire 🔥 He breathes fire🔥 The word 'detest' isn't enough to describe what these two have for each other. Some say respect is reciprocal, but not when two blaring fire clash. She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderer. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn't something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water. She was a wild and crazy one; always stomping on eggshells that everyone else tip-toed on. She held fire in her eyes. She was fierce, and strong, and full of fire, and that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned brighter than her fears. They all saw her as an angry person, but why bother explaining to them, when sadness and grief engulfs your heart, it turns into anger. What happens when she cross paths with an arrogant,short tempered and egoistic man? He isn't one to lose, he gets whatever he wants when he wants it. His mind is clouded with nothing but success. He has a heart, but doesn't know how to use it, he doesn't know what it's meant for other than family. It's small, but it's there. He does more and says less.
