"Shadow's Redemption: The Cursed Guardian"
In a world where darkness reigns and hope is a distant memory, Zephyr Nightshade wakes up in a haunted dungeon with no memories except for his violent death in modern-day Earth. Now reincarnated as a half-demon with extraordinary powers, he discovers he's been chosen as a Cursed Guardian - beings destined to either save or destroy the realm of Shadowhaven. As he navigates through monster-filled dungeons and uncovers ancient secrets, Zephyr must decide whether to embrace his demonic nature or fight against it. Accompanied by Luna Moonwhisper, a mysterious witch with her own dark past, and Rex Shadowfang, a wise-cracking werewolf who's not as funny as he thinks he is, Zephyr faces increasingly dangerous challenges. What starts as a simple quest for survival turns into an epic adventure when they discover a sinister plot involving corrupt gods, ancient curses, and a prophecy that could reshape reality itself. But here's the twist - the very power Zephyr needs to save everyone might be what destroys everything he grows to care about. And worse yet, the memories of his past life are slowly returning, revealing a truth that might break him completely. (I also have my book on Royal Road and scribble hub!)
As A Stranger Or A Friend?
Upon the blurred line of morality and at the mercy of circumstance, two souls meet. Again. And again. And again. So, is it simply a coincidence or something more? When a young Mariel leaves home, she is instructed to lead a quiet, ignoble life. Forever. And so, determined to remain overlooked, she toils endlessly, disguised as all things plain. But they say still waters run deep, and even the ordinary are not who they appear to be... So, what would it take for those waters to ripple? Enter the raucous and free Axtapor, a nobleman turned pirate. Dashing through life like a tempest, he is resolved to live on his own terms, allowing none to stand in his way. But a pirate's curse is a pair of wandering eyes, a boundless appetite for more, and a fascination with the unknown. Waters disturbed, the two upend one another's lives with misunderstanding hands and misguided compassion. The balances of fate tip dangerously and they quickly find themselves pitted against the same foe: time. The world's watchful eyes fall upon them as night coats the skies and something unexpectedly new begins to emerge. Hope. Little do they know just how dangerous something like that can be. *Contains mature themes, such as violence, gore, suggestive scenes, and offensive/triggering language, please read with care and at your own discretion.*Complete

Paths Beyond (Under Rewrite)
In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.Complete
