For centuries, Vaelis Nocthyrien ruled the Shadow Plane-a sovereign unseen, a name unknown. The mortal realm spoke of a King of Shadows only in whispers, never daring to believe he was real.
But now, cast into a world that does not know him, stripped of his power, and hunted by those who fear the dark, he must reclaim what was stolen before his enemies erase him from existence.
They do not know his name.
But they will learn to fear it.

The Living Shadow: Phantom Heart
He was just an ordinary boy living an ordinary life... until the shadow found him. ******** Not a darkness to fear, not a curse to bear, but a presence older than humanity itself, born from the deepest corners of the Earth. It has existed quietly, unseen, unnoticed, until now. The shadow entered him, and suddenly nothing was the same. It doesn't hurt him, but he cannot tell what it wants-or why it chose him. Its whispers, its movements, its presence are a mystery, and he must learn to live with something he cannot understand. As days pass, the boy begins to notice the world differently: hidden patterns, quiet truths, and glimpses of a reality no one else can see. With every heartbeat, the shadow remains, silent yet undeniable, a presence that changes everything without ever causing harm. In a story of mystery, wonder, and unseen bonds, he will discover that some companions are not meant to be understood, some hearts are never truly alone, and some shadows have always been part of the world-waiting.

The Dreadfang
Allow me the grand honor of introducing you to Sam the Dreadfang. A dauntless warlord, an inimitable mentor, and the venerated father of ten-thousand-and-one. Yet the man wasn't always the greatness he stands today. Once, he was no more than a nameless boy - an orphan torn from his mother's breast and left to rot among the sworn enemies of his kin. Like so many of us, with the weight of the world slowly breaking his back, he should've succumbed to the cruel Mistress of Fate. But then, on one fortuitous day of murder and mayhem, came Dale - the Warbear - Abberford, and the boy saw himself elevated from the chains of poverty to a life of perilous adventure; a journey amid ancient Dwarven dynasties, Goblin kingpins, and crazed revolutionaries. They always said Dale had a scary eye for talent. They had no idea. When the mad wizard - Edgar Thaine - threatens to unveil the world below, a world long forgotten by mankind, the ancient order known as the Highgard sends their most treasured asset, the Warbear, to end the wizard's violent defiance and maintain the old world's privacy. Alongside his new master, Sam is forged to the likes of a young warrior, and taught the ways of a world he'd thought to know before finding himself shackled to the ultimate test: survive and breathe eternal glory, or perish and tumble down the abyss of the nameless.Complete
