Who am I?
Kael wakes up in a desolate square surrounded by glowing blue lights with no memory of who he is. Accompanied by a sharp-tongued guide imp named Skrindle, he must build his Square and summon minions to defend his fragile territory.
But survival is far from simple. The nearby human village sees Kael's square as a tantalizing target, sending adventurers hungry for gold and glory. Each invader brings danger, and every choice threatens his power.
As Kael navigates a dangerous game of rivalries with other Masters, a darker threat begins to emerge - a shadow of something far larger than his humble beginnings. The world has rules, but there are hints of Kael's power and intelligence that may defy them.
Can Kael outwit the greedy adventurers, navigate treacherous alliances, and carve out a future in a world that thrives on destruction? Or will his inexperience seal his doom before he can even make his mark?
The game is just beginning.

The Howl of the Forsaken - Gay/Romance/LitRPG
The Howl of the Forsaken LitRPG | Dark Fantasy | Sci-Fi/Fantasy Apocalypse. Four hundred years ago, the world shattered. Portals tore through the sky, merging Earth with realms of bloodthirsty Vampires, savage Lycans, and nightmarish Demons. Humanity barely clings to survival in the last 45 mega-cities scattered around the world. Kael Bloodfang was born into nobility but cast out like trash. Half-human. Half-lycan. And worst of all-an Omega with no ability. Scavenging the ruins of the forgotten world, Kael scrapes by in the shadows of hunters, monsters, and machines. But when a brutal encounter triggers a mysterious system unlike any other, Kael unlocks a path none have walked before: The Eclipse Forge. No shadows. No minions. Only constructs, twisted from Rift-warped metal and burning with raw energy. Now hunted by monsters, hunted by men-and haunted by the bloodline that cast him out-Kael must rise. To evolve. To forge. To howl loud enough that even the gods hear it. Will he survive the Rift? Or be devoured before the world sees what a Forsaken is truly worth?
A Shattered Peace (An Epic Fantasy Tale)
The kingdom is sleeping. The monsters are not. An ancient enemy has returned, and Argren is bleeding. Goblins, ogres, and the undead march under the banner of a shadowy power, and the northern frontier is the first to burn. Sir Ronigren, a cynical knight who'd rather be at the bottom of a tankard, is the only thing standing in their way. He's no chosen one, but he's all they've got. Sabine, a girl of impossible height and a forgotten lineage, holds a power that could shatter mountains. She may be the kingdom's last hope, or the catalyst for its final doom. Thrown together by fate, they must lead a band of outcasts on a desperate quest to awaken a forgotten magic before the world is plunged into eternal silence. But in a war fought with steel and sorcery, the deepest wounds are caused by betrayal, and the enemy is already inside the gates.

The Silver Bond || MxM novel (ON HOLD)
In the fractured land of Nerathys, where humans and spirit-bound warriors once fought side by side, a fragile peace is maintained by ancient magic. The heir to the empire's throne of the empire Caelthar, Prince Kael, is taken captive after a failed rebellion. Instead of being executed, he is given as a blood-bound servant to Lord Arion, the cold and ruthless commander of the empire's ghostbound armies - soldiers fused with the souls of the dead. But Arion is not what he seems. Bound to a ghost named Lyra, he's cursed with both immense power and a growing madness. When Kael is forced to serve him, he discovers the truth: Arion's soul is fading, and only Kael's bloodline magic can keep him tethered to the world. As Kael struggles to survive, he discovers a terrifying truth: only his bloodline magic can keep Arion-and the empire itself-from unraveling. Will Kael make it out alive? Will he build a relationship of trust and friendship with the Lord or perhaps even something more? Or will it be the ruin of the only chance of fixing what should be right? *** Contains violence, strong language, and other mature themes. Read on your own risk!

Lantern of The Forsaken
The world did not mourn the weak. Kael learned that truth as a child - when the sect recruiters tested him and saw nothing. No fire, no water, no strength. The elders shook their heads and called him hollow. His parents lowered their eyes in shame. The other children marched away to grand halls and immortal masters, while Kael was left in the dust, a failure before his first breath of life had even settled. When the raiders came years later, no one came back to defend the village. The chosen ones were gone. The strong were far away. The weak burned. Kael staggered through the ruins, smoke in his lungs, his eyes raw with grief. And then - he saw. It was not fire that caught his gaze, nor the gleam of blades. It was light within bodies. The glow of energies hidden in bones and veins, affinities no elder had noticed, paths that had been ignored. He saw it in the dead: the farmer who had strength like stone, the girl whose blood shimmered with healing water. All wasted, all discarded. That was the moment Kael awakened - not to power, but to truth. There were no trash people. Only a trash system. He swore then, knee-deep in ash and silence, that no one else would be abandoned. He would forge paths for the forsaken, kindle flames in the broken, and prove that the world's so-called chosen were nothing but blind fools. And when his own light rose - the Lantern Sovereign - the forsaken would rise with him.![I Became a Barista in Another World!

A man on a mission to conquer the world...of coffee! Ryu, a 20-year-old shut-in working a dead-end job as a barista, dreams of a lavish lifestyle being waited on hand and foot (some cute maids would be nice). When a freak accident delivers Ryu an untimely death, he is unceremoniously transported to the world of Cerulia where knights, dragons, and faeries alike are not concepts of old or creatures of fantasy, but very real and particularly dangerous. Ryu finds himself in the peaceful Kingdom of Kaffa, far from the conflicts of warring states. In this kingdom, the currency is coffee, status is coffee, and fame is coffee. It's the dream of every aspiring Coffee Brewer here to join the ranks as one of the monarch's Royal Brewers. It's a place ripe for the taking with his skillset. There's just one catch: outside the kingdom lay untamed wilds that defy the laws of nature, populated by strange and savage flora and fauna. Sourced in these wilds, ingredients for coffee are difficult to come by, and foraging for them is a perilous undertaking. Can Ryu manage to navigate this seemingly treacherous lifestyle? Or will he succumb to the dangers that lurk within the Wildlands? Testing out a new series. Feel free to comment with your thoughts as this is my first attempt at an Isekai/LitRPG (Please be nice).
