Old tales speak of Spanish Kings wielding a blade that could peirce the soul. A rapier supposedly crafted from the blood of god himself, a weapon that in the right hands, can release the Light in one's heart, or in the wrong hands, darkness. This weapon is one of a kind, and extremely valuable. It's name was Alma.
And now, in the year 1583, it's been seen somewhere in Europe, after it's owners, the Amadeo Family, have lost track of it. Seeing an opportunity, 16th Century Merchant and Italian nobleman Virgil Mancini has set out on a journey across Europe, in hopes of adding this rare blade to his collection. This is a Journal, left behind by the late Mancini, and it details his search for Alma, and his subsequent descent into madness.

The Forgotten Savior
No one ever truly saw Malik Vireo. He was the kind of man people sought in times of need-offering guidance, shouldering burdens, and helping others find their way. But once their problems were solved, they forgot him. They always did. Then, one fateful night, a dying god granted him a blessing: the power to correct the world's mistakes. With a mere thought, he could mend broken souls, undo disasters, and rewrite fate itself. But there was a cost. Each time he used his power, a piece of his soul disappeared. And no one-not even those he saved-could remember what he had done. As Malik fades into obscurity, the one person he ever loved-Aeris Varela-remains blind to his suffering. She never loved him back, never even noticed his pain. But when Malik makes the ultimate sacrifice to erase humanity's greatest sin, the world finally sees him-just as he begins to disappear forever. For the first time, they remember. But is it too late to save the man who spent his life saving everyone else?Complete
that one SWURD
Long ago, when the world was young and humanity struggled against the forces of chaos, the gods intervened. They forged a sword, not as a weapon of destruction, but as a gift of hope. Each god poured a fragment of their essence into it-courage, wisdom, resilience, and strength. It's a sword meant for everything possible. For centuries, the blade lay hidden, waiting for the right moment to be discovered. It wasn't buried in gold or locked away in a grand vault-it rested quietly in the heart of the earth, untouched and unseen, until the time was right. When the first hand grasped the hilt, the sword came alive. Its surface shimmered with an otherworldly glow, a promise of the power within. The one who found it didn't know the gods had shaped it, nor did they understand the weight of what they held. But the sword recognized them. It responded to their strength, their resolve, and their needs. As the blade cut through the darkness for the first time, it wasn't just its edge that brought change. It was the force behind it-the will to fight for survival, for something greater than fear. With every swing, the sword grew brighter, stronger, as if it fed not on blood but on purpose. Though the gods forged the blade, it wasn't theirs anymore. In that moment, it became part of humanity, a bond between the divine and mortal worlds. And for the one who wielded it, the sword was more than steel and magic-it was a companion, a guide, and a silent promise: you are not alone. Thus began the sword's journey, not just as a tool of battle, but as a symbol of what humanity could become. And though its path was just beginning, the gods knew it would go on, far beyond what even they could imagine. (this is my very first novel. I got my inspiration from a nail clipper)
