When the Heavens Fall

The world ended not with fire or flood, but with a whisper a quiet, mournful prayer from an angel in chains. She was meant to be salvation, but humanity made her their prisoner, a divine being torn apart in the name of science. When she finally broke free, her sorrow unmade the sky, and the world was never the same again.
From that moment, monsters walked the earth. Behemoths that warped reality, eldritch titans whose very existence twisted time and space. They were not demons, but divine consequences the echoes of a world that broke faith with something sacred.
In the ashes of the old world, survivors whisper of the Weeping Angel who is done weeping, of the Hollow Saint whose endless hunger devours hope itself, and of the sky that wrinkled, tearing open the path for horrors uncounted.
Told through the eyes of the broken, the desperate, and the damned,When the Heavens Falls is a story of humanity struggling to survive not just against the monsters that now roam the earth, but against the shadows of their own sins.

The Hollow Crown
In the city of Veilrest, where shadows breathe and nightmares walk, power is a curse disguised as a gift. The once-glorious kingdom has been rotting from within, its throne left vacant after the royal bloodline was slaughtered in the dark of a moonless night. Now, the land festers under the rule of a nameless tyrant-one whose face is never seen, only felt in the whispers of the cursed and the screams of the vanished. Kastor Veyne never wanted to be a hero. With a metal-forged leg replacing what was lost to Veilrest's cruelty, he's learned that survival is the closest thing to victory. But when a prophecy names him as the rightful heir to the Hollow Crown, he's dragged into a war of monsters and gods-one he never asked to fight. By his side is Silas, a rogue with ink-stained hands and secrets older than the kingdom itself, and Lysara, a necromancer with a grudge against the living and an even greater hatred for fate. As Kastor unearths the city's buried horrors, he discovers that the Hollow Crown is not a throne-it's a prison. And the only way to break free might be to embrace the darkness he's spent his whole life running from. But power always comes with a price. And Kastor is about to learn what it means to lose everything.Complete

Kael Morrigan is nineteen years old and already broken. In a world where Gates tore apart reality and flooded seventy percent of Earth with monsters, there are no countries left-only Sectors. Walled fortresses where humanity's remnants huddle behind concrete and pray the next Gate doesn't rupture before the Hunters clear it. Seventy-two hours. That's all the time between survival and annihilation. Kael isn't a Hunter. He's a porter-the lowest, most expendable piece of the industry that keeps humanity alive. Every morning, Gate sirens wail. Every day, the countdown begins again. Every night, Kael comes home with contaminated lungs, bleeding hands, and barely enough to buy protein paste and recycled water. The Hunters call him deadweight. The corporations see him as replaceable. His neighbors avoid his eyes because they know he's just another corpse waiting for a Gate to claim him. But Kael gets up anyway. Binds his ruined feet. Shoulders his pack. Walks into the monsters' den. Not for glory or hope-those luxuries died with the old world. He does it because two girls in a freezing room need him to come home alive. In a world drowning in nightmares, survival isn't heroic. It's just refusing to quit when quitting would be easier than breathing. This is the story of how far one man will break before he's finally free. == If you'd like to support my work, you can check out my Patreon; it'll have advance chapters for free. Patreon.com/akibo
The Lycan's Bargain
"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor. In a desperate bargain, she trades her freedom for her mother's life. But as she becomes the king's unwilling companion, Aira discovers a terrifying truth-Kael is cursed, unable to die, unable to feel the mate bond that should tie them together. As dark forces conspire against them and Kael spirals further into self-destruction, Aira must decide: escape and save herself, or risk everything for the beast who might never love her back. In a world where fate is both a gift and a curse, can she break the chains of destiny before it's too late? 1 in Kael on 24/4/2025 1 in Captive on 26/4/2025 2 in dreamlandbooks on 26/4/2025 1 in beautyandthebeast on 27/5/2025 1 in historicalromance on 30/5/2025 1 in werewolf on 05/10/2025Complete
Battle Of The Grim
Once, magic flowed like rivers nurtured by the Grim guardians of life and death. They were neither gods nor demons but keepers of balance, ensuring souls passed peacefully into the beyond. Among them was a young Grim, a boy with a gentle heart, who walked the earth unseen to replenish its fading magic. But the greed of powerful mages shattered this harmony. They sought immortality, power beyond mortal limits. In the dead of night, they ambushed the Grim, stole his Grimoire of Eternal Passage, and left him for dead. Yet, they could not read its secrets. Before vanishing, the Grim left behind an Artifact of Severance a cursed relic that began draining the world's magic. As the years passed, those with weak abilities withered, while the strong ruled with an iron fist. Monsters emerged from the hadows, terrorizing the land, and the ten kingdoms struggled to survive under relentless attacks. And so, the slow death of the world began.
BEYOND: The Nameless Eater
The spirits made manifest by mankind's consciousness seek nothing but tyranny and chaos, possessing humans and corrupting them into monsters. However, those with enough mental fortitude tame these spirits within them and become capable of controlling the powers of these spectral demons. In this Journal that I have salvaged, you'll follow the perspective of the blindfolded Damien Lopez, a boy (Probably) with more going on with him than what meets the eye in his struggle to reclaim the peaceful life robbed from him by the cold whims of fate and discover concepts along the way, such as 'Love', 'Friendship', 'Forgiveness' and most importantly, 'Clobbering the life out of demons'.

The Codex Morvalis: A Scholar's Testament
The Codex Morvalis: A Scholar's Testament The complete guide to a world where cosmic forces shape destiny. Magister Thaddeus Vallen breaks academic protocol to compile the most comprehensive guide to Morvalis ever attempted. After seven decades of cross-disciplinary research, this brilliant scholar risks censure to share knowledge the specialized academies have kept locked away in separate towers. From the cosmic forces that emerged from Primordial Chaos to the political intrigue of the Sovereign Pentarchy, from ancient bloodlines whose decline threatens reality itself to the shadow entities born from human trauma-this is the world in its entirety. Magic systems with deadly consequences. Cities where pattern-mages and storm-workers shape civilization. Families torn apart by ambition and cosmic forces beyond their control. But this isn't just worldbuilding for its own sake. Somewhere on a distant battlefield, a young man named Callan Tanner carries magical potential that could reshape everything-if he survives to claim it. The bloodline anchors are failing, shadow manifestations multiply in the darkness, and the delicate balance between creation and chaos grows ever more precarious. Twenty-two entries. One scholar's race against time to preserve knowledge before it's lost forever. A fantasy world where what we feel literally shapes what becomes real. Enter the Codex. Discover what lies beyond imagination.

The Shattered One

Everything watches. In this new, devouring world, a lake calls to her. The sky whispers her name. Something ancient stirs-something that remembers what she once was, before she was broken and buried. As she journeys through the remnants of a shattered reality, hunted by the very fabric of emotion, she begins to uncover the truth of her origin and the role she was meant to play in a world unmade. But some secrets are buried for a reason. And in The Fade, even your feelings can kill you.
