"...A search for what's left..."
...Hexborns and humans... The very division that's responsible for countless death and destruction. The very reason of a never ending war since the dawn of time. But why?
Let me tell you this, as long as mankind doesn't know how to approach the unknown, this war will go on. The fight will never end. The lives will be lost. The families will be broken apart. The future will be turned to ash.
There are no winners at war. And as long as fear continues to contol us, we will bring the end for ourselves.
I'm only here to put my family back together. And if doing that means putting an end to this war, i swear on my soul to bring it. No matter what it takes. No matter how far i have to go. And when I'm done, everyone will know that I, Avery Jackson, am the start of a new dawn. A new world, where nobody will have to live in fear of tomorrow.

The Sorcerer's Pet
He burned for control. She was born of chaos. Together, they'll shatter the laws that broke them-and forge a love fierce enough to change everything. - In a kingdom where magic is law and the powerless are sold like cattle, survival is a coin few can afford. Every season, the poorest are swept from the streets and auctioned off as Familiars - living mana batteries to feed the ambitions of greedy sorcerers. Forgotten. Disposable. Erissa expected pain when she was claimed by Lord Kaelen Carmentis - the coldest sorcerer in the court, and heir to one of the oldest bloodlines in the realm. She didn't expect the bond to awaken something inside her. And she certainly didn't expect that, in the silence between them, she would feel safe. But Familiars aren't meant to be felt. And whatever is growing between them... is breaking every rule. Because she was never meant to survive the system. She was meant to rewrite it - and burn the old world down in the process.Complete
Outland: Red Ledgers of a Demon Hunter
Terra Firma is gone. Mankind has descended. Demons rule the new world. In the aftermath of Biblical Desolation, Man's last dregs have fled to Outland---an accursed realm beneath the Earth, ruled by the Demonic forces of Chaos. Two factions, the Tantalus Consortium and the Terran Republic, battle each other and the uncanny frontiers around them in endless cycles of war. Demons, garbed in man-made flesh, wander the haunted places of this world, seeking whom they may devour. But God is not silent in the face of His people's suffering. Judges, chosen by the Angels, and their Slayer attendants follow these evils into their unholy lairs, steering both empires toward the light as Demons vie to keep humanity trapped in the dark. Two wars, one material and one spiritual, forever ravage the landscape, every new battle threatening to be the one that finishes what Desolation started. The Judges sponsored many great heroes, but none so well-known as Alptraum the Chaos-Eater--a Nephilim warrior from another realm who turned his back on sin and swore his sword to the Lord, becoming one of God's most fearsome warriors against creatures of the night. The Chaos-Eater fell contending for the faith, but he is succeeded by a son, hardened by strife and ordained by tragedy to follow on his warpath. This man, armed with a Heaven-forged Magic Sword, will wade knee-deep into the legions of the damned, carving a path toward salvation for all who cry out in direst need. He is Tony Slade, Exiled Ranger of the Terran Republic, and these are the stories that began his legend. For fans of Gothic horror with a cyberpunk twist, adrenaline-pumping action, and wholesome family values. Expect violence, heinous cruelty, the best and worst of humanity in unflinching detail, constant drug abuse, and a distressing lack of diplomatic solutions to interpersonal conflicts. This is your first and only warning.
Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete
The Troubled Soul (Volume 3: Final Volume)
Once upon a time, there was a young boy who experienced constant pain. The only person who truly stayed by his side was Kallie, his sister. She was his everything. His life, his family, his best friend...his world. Then humanity had to take her away and wreck his perfect, peaceful life. As if it was not enough humans were the source of all his pain and suffering he experienced throughout his life, and the reason for all his scars and symbols, they took away the only person he cared about. Well, enough was enough. He tried leaving humanity alone. He tried living a peaceful life away from all the fighting. It was all he wanted; to live a peaceful life with his sister, but humanity would not allow him that. So, if battling was the only thing humans throughout history understood, then he would bring them a war. So now, he has a new goal. Peace treaties are made between humans but they never last. War, however, forces the loser to obey no matter what for however long the winner decides. If humanity-the entire world-only submitted to the strongest then he would dominate them all. Only he would be the strongest, allowing no other person to even come close to his power. He would burn the world down to its very foundation, eradicating everyone who stands in his way, and rebuild it anew. The new world would be transformed into what he could never have. A fair and just world, devoid of all sins, where everyone can live a peaceful life without the constant worry of what could hurt them next. New laws will be placed while the old ones are removed. All evil will be purged from the world. Any who stand in his way will be turned to ash to help build his world. If the world wanted him to be evil so badly...then he would be a malicious tyrant that rules not with an iron fist, but a diamond one. Of course, there will be many who will fight back. However, there is only one person who even has a chance at winning...and she only cares about her little sunshine.Complete

"𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑺 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 𝑾𝑰𝑳𝑳 𝑬𝑵𝑫 𝑼𝑺..." "𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑵 𝑳𝑬𝑻 𝑰𝑻 𝑩𝑬 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑴𝑶𝑺𝑻 𝑩𝑬𝑨𝑼𝑻𝑰𝑭𝑼𝑳 𝑶𝑭 𝑬𝑵𝑫𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑺." She was born of a bargain, stitched from starlight and ruin, the last gift of a dying son to a goddess who loved thresholds more than mercy. 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊 entered the world with silver eyes that remembered every grave, golden hair that shimmered like a crown too heavy for any child, and a silence that unsettled even the house that raised her. The Blacks bred tempests, and she was a storm disguised as grace. Though long before her first breath, the constellations had written her fate. They named her for dawn yet clothed her in dusk, promising her to the boy who bore lightning in his scar. 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐏𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑-child of prophecy, boy marked by fate for death, the lamb to be slaughter and sacrificed. They found each other in corridors steeped in omen, their eyes meeting as if they had done so for centuries. His sorrow recognized her fury; her tenderness understood his ruin. Their love was not a choice but an inheritance, whispered by the heavens, sealed in the marrow of their bones. The world stood against them. As bloodlines demanded obedience, gods demanded payment, destiny demanded separation. Yet together they moved toward each other as planets do, colliding though they knew it would shatter the sky. Their love was no sanctuary. It was a doom both holy and profane, a sacrament carved into the stars with the same hand that wrote death.
Bloodline of Shadows
Born the youngest of twelve powerful brothers, you were destined to inherit a legacy greater than all of them chosen as heir not by age, but by the ancient powers flowing through your veins. But fate was cruel. Stolen away as a child, your body was poisoned, your mind fractured, and your power suppressed. For years, you were lost, a missing prince hidden in shadows. Now found again, you return to a family torn between fierce protectiveness and their own dangerous instincts. Some test your strength. Others guard your fragile stability. And within you, not one voice, but many linger: echoes of cruelty, scars of pain, and something darker born in captivity. Every day becomes a battle not just against your brothers' challenges, but against the selves inside you, desperate to surface. Yet amidst the chaos, bonds begin to form, and trust slowly grows. With each trial, you take a step closer to reclaiming both your place as heir... and the fractured pieces of yourself. But the deeper you go, the more one truth becomes clear: survival means not only mastering your power, but mastering the shadows that live within.Complete
