Helbrum the Silent, Lord of Slumber and Ice, was one of the ancient elemental gods, and he ruled over the cycle of hibernation, stillness, and memory. He was worshipped by nomadic peoples and northern clans, who saw in him the embodiment of patience, introspection, and waiting - winter as preparation for spring.
When Ashûram declared war upon the gods, Helbrum did not answer with armies. It is said that he descended into the bowels of the world, laid himself at the heart of his domain, and dreamed an endless winter. But the King of the World, seeing in this gesture a challenge, took an enchanted spear forged from the sun itself and hurled it through the crust of ice - piercing the heart of the sleeping god. The point of impact became the crater known as the Eye of Winter - a frozen lake of abyssal depth.
Since then, the tundra has changed. Time fractured. Silence became a living force. The dormant magic there pulses slowly, as if it followed the weakened heartbeat of a colossal being beneath the earth.

Sweet Lies & Slow-Burning Desire
Keng, a powerful yet emotionally detached businessman, never believed in love. His life is built on control, contracts, and calculated risks-a world where money can solve anything, including loneliness. That's why when Namping, a struggling artist with nowhere to turn, stumbles into his life, Keng offers him a simple solution: a contract. A sugar arrangement. Namping gets financial security-no more worrying about rent, no more exhausting part-time jobs. In return, all he has to do is be by Keng's side when needed. Dinners, events, late-night conversations over fine wine... but no feelings. At least, that was the rule. But Namping is nothing like the people Keng has kept around before. He's unpredictable, too stubborn for his own good, too warm for Keng's cold world. He teases, he laughs, he softens the edges of Keng's carefully guarded heart. And Keng? He finds himself breaking his own rules. What was supposed to be a business arrangement turns into stolen glances, lingering touches, late-night confessions neither of them should be making. "You were supposed to be temporary." "Then why does it feel like I'm the only thing real in your life?" The closer they get, the more the lines blur. Keng tells himself it's just desire. That it's not love. That he could let go anytime. But when the contract ends, will he be able to?Complete
Tales of Heaven
The first project that I started in early secondary school. Looking back at it is not that good. but seeing as I may not go back to it I might as well share it. Long ago the great gods of this world guided and protected all of the creation, but that all changed when the darkness welled up from below the ground and ravaged to lands, seas and sky. All kingdoms fell. With the last of their light. the gods bestowed their power upon chosen warriors, each blessed with power to destroy the darkness. However, the darkness proved too strong, fueled by the darkness in the hearts of man. It was sealed away in a conflict and the chosen were laid to slumber for a new generation to take up the mantle and do what needed to be done. Aspects of this became what Elohim is today.Complete

But fate remembers. And as he climbs again-level by level-so too will the truth. When power returns, so will the past. And with it, a storm the world is not ready to face.Complete
The Shards of Creation
***The Shards of the Gods, Book I - The Shards of Creation*** In the beginning, the world is born from divine fire - a realm shaped by seven gods, each holding a fragment of creation's light. From their union flows the River of Shadows, a current that binds all life, guarded by the silent sentinel, Kealan. But as the ages turn and the voices of the gods fade into silence, the world begins to forget. One god, Myrion, seeks to rekindle what has been lost. His quest for truth sets in motion an act of creation - and defiance - that will forever alter the balance between divinity and mankind. Across centuries, kingdoms rise on the ruins of faith, their rulers haunted by visions of perfection and power. As a forgotten promise stirs beneath the darkened river, the boundaries between god, mortal, and reflection begin to blur. *The Shards of Creation* is a mythic and tragic tale of ambition, faith, and the fragile line between truth and illusion - the story of how the first light gave birth to both wonder and ruin, and how the silence of the gods became the echo of man.![The Sixth God (Arc 1: From The Pale Ashes) [BL]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/227472629-256-k912754.jpg)

Destiny
In the beginning, there was nothing. Just a vast void of nothing. All consuming darkness. And then there was cold. Ice. The ice spread from the core of the earth to everything until the world was formed. And then there was heat. For a while there was war between heat and ice. They fought for dominion over the world. Ice was the first and believed it was to be in charge. Heat supported more life and believed it should be allowed to rule. Eventually, when both almost destroyed the world Ice had created, they decided to merge and rule together, to release both their powers over the world and create life. They did that and then they went to sleep, dormant in the village of Azarath, the village where the first witches were born. The village where it all began. ******************** "What am I? I'm not human as we all thought, that's for sure. I'm not a witch, I can't cast a spell to save my life! I'm not a vampire as the absence of the speed and fangs indicate. I'm not a werewolf as my remaining on two legs every full moon proves so what am I?" Kat shouted to the winds as they roared around her in the clearing she stood in. "Aren't you gonna answer me?!" she asked again, tears rolling out of her eyes as she began to rise above the ground, the power inside her threatening to overwhelm her. "You are nothing and you are everything" the reply finally came, silent but still able to be heard above the fierce winds. And then all of a sudden there was silence. There was nothing. ******************* This is book 1 of The Destined Five series. The other books can be found on my profile.Complete
Frostbound Flame
In a world where elemental magic defines status and power, Namping Napatsakorn has lived his life believing he's nothing special-born into a magical bloodline, but without a single trace of magic himself. When his older sister refuses an arranged marriage to the feared and powerful Commander Keng Harit, Namping is sent in her place. Cold, distant, and burdened by the rumors of his destructive firepower, Keng makes it clear that theirs is a contract, not a love story. But as Namping navigates the silent halls of the Harit estate and the tense, mysterious world of magical military duty, strange things begin to happen around him-ice crystals forming where they shouldn't, frost on his fingers, dreams of snow he can't remember living. When Keng is nearly killed on the battlefield, Namping rushes to save him-and in that moment of fear and desperation, his true heritage awakens in a storm of frozen power that shocks everyone, most of all himself. Bound by duty. Ignited by fate. Can fire and ice survive what destiny has been hiding all along?
