The created world of Arcadia is ruled by three Gods, but one seeks only ruin. The God of Monsters commands armies of monstrosities, corrupted denizens of the world, and beasts of his own design. For centuries, those born with strong magic have held the line against his Demon Lords. Those with weak magic form the working masses, protected by the Arc Wardens but powerless beneath them and the Adventurers.
Gifted with an unbreakable body, the complete knowledge of Dragon Style martial arts, and an unwavering companion at his side, Drake Long is given two impossible missions: to break the magical stranglehold that keeps Arcadia's people in chains, and to redeem the God of Monsters before his wrath consumes the world.
Arcadia is his home now, and he will protect it with the gifts he was given.
He will finish what the Gods could not.

Soulbound Chronicles: Book III Eclipse of Arcadia
The Arcadia Cluster stands on the edge of annihilation. The Guild Nations lie in ruins, the Black Spire Order has unleashed the Eclipse Engine, and the heavens themselves are tearing apart. Across shattered worlds and dying stars, Rai Zenth faces the ultimate truth of his existence - he is not merely a weapon of rebellion, but the last living shard of a Monster Lord whose soul was never meant to awaken. As the RAVE Cores converge, the boundary between man and monster collapses. The power of creation itself spirals out of control, and every soul that has ever burned within Arcadia resonates in one final, catastrophic chord. Bound by fate and love, Mirai Kessandra, Dart Velden, Suki Shiranami, and Ashren Vox join Rai for a final stand - to decide whether the universe will be reborn or erased forever. But salvation demands sacrifice. And when the Eclipse Gear reaches its final form, Rai must choose: to ascend as the new god of a fractured cosmos, or to shatter his own soul and free every bound being from magic's chains. As galaxies burn and souls echo through eternity, the truth of Arcadia will finally be written - not in stars, but in the hearts of those who dared to defy destiny. The end begins where it all began. And only the soul that breaks can truly be free.Complete
Arcadia
"Do you ever stop running?" he muttered, his gaze burning into mine. "What are you doing?" I whispered, my voice trembling. But anger surged through me, cutting through the daze. "You can't just-just act like this! One second you're cold, the next you're almost kind, then you let people kiss you, and now-" My throat wobbled "Now this? I can't keep up. I can't" His expression cracked and his eyes darkened, not with anger, but with something raw that felt dangerously close to breaking me in half. "You want to know how I feel about you?" His voice was low and rough. Before I could answer, he tilted my chin up again, his thumb brushing the corner of my mouth like he was staking a claim. And then he kissed me. Not the furious, messy clash of before. This one was slower and deeper, but it shattered me even more. His lips were unrelenting, pressing against mine like he'd been holding himself back for far too long. My mind went blank, every thought scattering like ashes in the wind. My fingers swayed helplessly at my sides then curled into his shirt again, because I didn't know where to put them. When he finally pulled back, his eyes searched mine like he was daring me to deny what just happened. "Does that answer your question?" he murmured. - Adriana plays the part of the perfect, wealthy heiress, but she's drowning under her mother's Ivy League expectations and a family scandal that could ruin her.

I Became a Barista in Another World! Volume 1: New Beginnings [Completed]
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).

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.

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?

The Heartstone Journey
This is the tale of a mysterious hero who has lost his way-a man wandering through distant lands filled with terrifying monsters, fractured kingdoms, and gods who play with the fate of mortals. Known only as Hunter, this veteran of the unknown leaves behind fragments of his life in the pages of a diary, a record of battles against divine entities, ancient dragons, and the very balance of the world itself. His name is whispered across empires, feared by enemies, and remembered by the broken. Why does he fight? For vengeance, for redemption, or for something far greater? No one truly knows. But one truth remains certain: whatever Hunter sets his eyes upon, he will pursue it, even if it means defying the gods themselves. [The story will undergo a drastic rewrite for the first 4 Books once the entire story has officially concluded to make it coherent and readable(lol). This is the cause of me writing this close to 10 years ago and not making many changes. As you progress through the story the writing will slowly improve. Apologies if this makes you unwilling to read this story.] Feel free to leave criticism where needed anyway. Enjoy :) NOTE: NONE OF THE ART IN THIS STORY BELONGS TO ME AND BELONGS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS! (Except For The Maps!) THIS IS ONLY TO HELP VISUALIZE THE CHARACTERS AND THE WORLD WRITTEN!
