Countless years ago, humanity discovered a solution to its dwindling resource crisis by traveling to other realities. Standing out amongst these was a reality where life operated similarly to an adventure game. To those living within this world, age and talents were replaced with levels and perks, with many living several generations beyond their normal lifespan. Many, however, seek their fortune in a cycled event within a manmade dungeon known as The Delve, which opens for a season of hunting during a ceremony called "The Rite of Champions", with hundreds of freelance adventurers traveling down alongside several sponsored teams all with the goal of battling monsters to retrieve rare materials for the lucrative manufacturing industry on the surface. Of these freelancers and sponsored warriors, less than half return, and amongst those that do very few maintain a semblance of their past selves, often paving the way for future season in their blood.
The stories of these adventurers are often coated in blood and sorrow but are long forgotten by those above. The same can be said about the three adventurers who traveled into The Delve one season, each with a goal as insane as the last. Will their search be successful? Will they face terrors? Will anyone find them?

Delayed Diagnosis {Book 1 of the Rex Obasi Trilogy}
"What is your predicament?" he repeated slowly I was getting pissed. My predicament is; I led my coworker and friend to an early grave, my fiancé if I dare call her that, was gallivanting around God knows where, doing God knows what. I had never even seen or held a gun all my life but in less than 48 hours I've somehow managed to stare down the barrel of a gun. I also endangered my family and anyone foolish enough to call me a friend and not too long ago I put an innocent woman, someone's grandmother in ICU. "What's your predicament?"

The Queen's Slave (Book 1)
"So." She mused, sliding one black nail across her lip in a sensual caress as she stared at me with eyes the color of molten gold. "You are the one they call Huntress." Disregarding the pain in my side from the most recent beating, I straightened my shoulders and stood tall, my chin jutting out in defiance. "Yes." "Mm." Those intriguing eyes watched me from her languid position on the throne. "But, you are not just a huntress, are you?" I allowed the predatory instincts I usually worked so hard to keep hidden, to surface, feeling the burning of my eyes and shifting of bones under my skin. A slow grin slid across my face as my beast stared back at her through my human skin. The Queen didn't react to my sudden change of character, instead choosing to lean forward in interest. "How fascinating." • Once, the world was ruled by humans and technology. They were governed by a president that made choices for all. Vampires, werewolves alike hid their existence from the humans for centuries, blending in as a whole. Now, they hid no more. States are now territories governed by kings and queens, humans are regarded and used for no more than their blood and body before they are discarded and forgotten. Werewolves and vampires were at war, and it was said that the wolves had all been but snuffed out, save for one. When Adira is captured while hunting outside her homeland, she is unexpectedly sold to the Queen in the North. Wolf blood is sacred, it is said to hold inexplainable powers, and as the only wolf-borne known to humans and vampires alike, Adira fears for her life. Thrown into a world governed by everything she's been trained to hate, Adira fights for her rightful place in the world, a seat at the Queen's side. But proving her worth won't be easy, the price for failure is her life.Complete

The sharp pain of large "canine" teeth being plunged into his neck made Cameron scream. It was cut short, his whole body freezing up as the crazy man sunk his large fangs into his neck, ripping a large chunk of the boy's flesh in between his teeth.
