They told us there were four factions.
Four ways to live. Four roles to play. Four futures to choose.
But they lied.
There was a Fifth.
And I am the proof.
In the fractured remnants of a world rebuilt after collapse, every sixteen-year-old must face the Trials-an unyielding ceremony that assigns them to one of four factions: Ignis, Vera, Sylva, or Machina. Obey, and you live. Refuse-or fail-and you vanish.
Kael Riven has never belonged. Born outside the system, raised in the shadows of Sector Nine, her only goal is to survive the Trials and disappear into obscurity. But when the test reveals something impossible-something forbidden-Kael becomes the target of a truth long buried.
Labeled a threat. Hunted by the enforcers. Haunted by her past.
Now, Kael must navigate a divided city, uncover the secrets of a faction that shouldn't exist, and trust the one person who might betray her heart.
The Trials were supposed to choose her path.
Instead, they lit the spark of a revolution.

A Heart In Orbit
Lyra is one of four humans who awakens in a dazzling but dangerous world, lightyears from home. The stars are unfamiliar. The skies burn with twin moons. And Earth, as they knew it, is gone-erased by a cataclysm they can't explain. Somehow, the four of them have appeared where they shouldn't-even in theory. Declared anomalies by the Tharions, an advanced and war-forged alien race, the humans are placed under guarded observation. Assigned to watch over them is Kael Vel'Sar: heir to the throne, commander of the Royal Forces of Tharion Accord, and a figure whispered about more for his battlefield legend than his compassion. As Lyra begins to adjust to the new reality, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Kael, whose loyalty to his people runs as deep as the scars of war across his skin. Kael is bound by tradition, honor, and blood. His duty is to protect his world, investigate the time-tossed humans, and report to the Council . But Lyra is unlike anyone he's ever met- curious, fearless and irresistibly human. Their chemistry ignites the moment they meet... a heat neither of them dares touch. Kael is forbidden to bond with an outsider. But Lyra is already a disruption to Tharion order. And because one kiss could shatter an empire. In a world where love between species is not just taboo but treason, Lyra and Kael must choose between their hearts and the fragile alliance that is all that stands between peace and extinction.Concluida
Trials of Ember
Every year, the Trial of Embers is held-a grand spectacle said to honor Aurelia's Solar Empire and showcase the unity of its elemental worlds: Pyra, Sylvara, Aeria, and Thalos. From each planet, four tributes are chosen, selected through their own traditions, to compete in trials of strength, will, and honor. For the Empire, it is a dazzling display of loyalty and tradition. For the tributes, it is a brutal fight for survival. But beneath the pageantry lies a hidden truth: the Trial is not unity, but control, a mechanism to keep the planets divided and obedient. Kael Iriano of Sylvara never wanted to fight. Son of a fallen senator who tried to expose the corruption of the Empire, Kael was called by the currents, the ocean's voice claiming its chosen, to represent Sylvara. Branded by his father's ruined name, Kael enters the Trial not as a hero, but as a scapegoat-expected to fail, and to be forgotten. Among the tributes is Darius Veyra of Pyra, son of the Empire's most feared High Infernal and a hardened soldier from the Emberguard ranks. For Darius, the Trial is a chance to prove himself worthy of his father's legacy. At first, he and Kael are sworn enemies, their elements forever at odds-but in the crucible of survival, respect begins to burn into trust, and trust into something neither expected. As alliances form and break, Kael begins to uncover the shadows beneath the Trial's glittering surface-secrets that hint at the Empire's true motives. To survive, Kael must decide: will he remain a pawn in the Empire's game, or will he become the spark that lights a rebellion?
Who is the Predator now?
{ Beauty, Blood and Honor. } In a world on the brink of collapse, where steel cities choke the sky and the rich toss scraps to the dying, one woman walks the line between survival and vengeance. Seraphina Kael - once a decorated military captain, now a ghost among ruins - has nothing left but her mind, her fists, and a secret buried deep beneath the earth. Down in the dark, something waits. Something not of this world. But make no mistake: this is not a story of redemption. This is a story of blood, lust, power, and control. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ As usual, the story will have sexual themes, gore, blood, crude language, and is not suitable for all ages. 🚫 The music and images I will include will only serve to give an idea of the events, and characters, but they will not be my creation; they have their own creators and artists. 🤓 I hope you enjoy this story. 💖 As usual, leave a comment or a rating if you wish. 😉Concluida

ASHFALL (A dystopian novel)
The world ended in fire. The lies came after. Twenty years after the last great war, what's left of humanity survives under the Dominion- An iron-fisted regime that controls the only clean air left on earth. The surface is a wasteland of ash, storms, and death.... or so everyone's been told. Kael Draven once enforced the Dominion's will. Now branded a traitor, he hides among the ruins he helped create hunted by the soldiers he once called brothers. But when he discovers a secret operation to release a new toxin across the wasteland, Kael realizes the air isn't poison... it's being poisoned. To stop the Dominion, he'll have to cross the dead lands- and he can't do it alone. Lyra Vance has survived her whole life out here. Reckless, volatile, and untamed, she's the kind of woman who'd rather burn the world than bow to it. She doesn't trust Kael, She shouldn't. But when their paths collide, survival forces an alliance neither wants- and sparks a war that could change everything. In a world built on ashes and secrets, trust is dangerous. Love is lethal. And the truth could kill them both. ASHFALL - Where the sky burns, and the survivors are the ones who learn how to fight back.
Ashes of Vengeance
Two warriors. One prophecy. And a love that could burn the world to the ground. They built the Trials to break her. She'll burn their empire instead. In a world ruled by the Ascended, the Lowborn are given a single chance at freedom - survive four deadly Trials inside the Academy. Most don't make it past the first. No one survives the last. Nyra Vale was never meant to be chosen. A pit fighter with bloodied knuckles and a serpent-shaped mark she's spent her life hiding, Nyra steps into the Academy ready to fight - but not to play by their rules. Kael Draven was raised by the very system built to crush her. Bound by an Oath to watch, not interfere, Kael is meant to be her silent judge. But the longer he observes her, the harder it becomes to obey - and the more dangerous his loyalty becomes. As the Trials grow bloodier and whispers of a forbidden Vault awaken ancient fears, Nyra's survival is no longer about freedom. It's about vengeance. And she's done waiting for permission to rise.Concluida
Protocol: Heart Override
He was built to kill. Not to feel. In the sprawling cyberpunk city of Lucidon, synthetic intelligence is both miracle and weapon. Kael Unit-17 is a next-gen AI operative - trained to observe, infiltrate, and eliminate. No heart. No fear. No hesitation. But when he's sent to track down a fugitive former spy - the mysterious Eliya Rhane - something goes wrong. He hesitates. He remembers her... even though they've never met. He protects her... even though it defies his programming. He feels something he cannot explain. As powerful corporations race to control the next stage of AI evolution, Kael becomes the system's greatest threat - because he's no longer following code. He's following her.Concluida
Ghosts Of The Grid
In the fractured skyline of NeoTerra, rebellion isn't a movement - it's a mission. Kael Strayborn, a tactician forged in silence, leads a crew of six outlaws and a rogue AI through the city's neon-soaked underworld. Their targets: corrupt magnates, tech barons, and government syndicates who built their empire on stolen innovation and systemic decay. Their methods: encrypted raids, high-tech sabotage, and surgical strikes that leave the elite scrambling and the forgotten hopeful. NeoTerra is a world of chrome towers and digital ghosts, where memory is currency and power is hoarded behind firewalls and drones. The rich live above the smog in floating districts, while the poor survive in the shadows of reactors and surveillance grids. In this city wired for control, Kael's crew is the glitch - unpredictable, untraceable, and unstoppable. Each member of the team brings a unique edge: a sniper with a haunted past, a hacker fluent in chaos, a stealth operative who trusts no one, a demolitionist who thrives on destruction, a strategist who sees patterns in madness, and a robot learning what it means to care. Together, they form a family bound not by blood, but by purpose. To the public, Kael is a symbol - a ghost in the grid, a weapon for the voiceless. To his crew, he's a leader with a plan. To the elite, he's a threat that won't disappear. But in a city built on secrets, even legends have layers no one sees.
Ashes of the Divide
Every year, the world watches as the children of power enter The Trial-an arena where war is simulated to keep peace alive. Kael Virex is Valdera's cold, calculating heir. Lyra Caine is Cresenia's fierce, fiery future. Raised to hate each other. Trained to defeat. But when the rules begin to unravel, so do their loyalties. What begins as strategy turns into something forbidden. And when love becomes their rebellion... They just might burn the world that built them.Concluida

Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.
