The Emperor: A Tale of Loyalty and Betrayal
An Empire built on loyalty. A betrayal that never stopped echoing. Once, the Emperor ruled the stars with unshakable faith in one man, his Royal Advisor. Now, the Galaxy trembles beneath the scars of that trust. Weapons forged in obsession became artifacts of madness, shattering the Empire and breaking an ancient friendship. Their creation cost everything the known worlds once had. Somewhere in the void, the Emperor may still watch the Galaxy burn... Perhaps he never truly left his throne. In a universe where power demands worship and broken trust makes the world burn, one truth remains: Devotion became a curse. A dark science fantasy about loyalty, betrayal, and the price of devotion.

Feast
In a haunting tale of primal instincts and dark desires, a hunter revered for his prowess in the wilderness finds his ultimate prey not in the forest but in the heart of a woman he loves. Drawn together by a secret, intense connection, their clandestine meetings in the dense, shadowy woods awaken something sinister within him. Inspired by a brutal lesson he once witnessed-a tiger mercilessly taking down its prey-the hunter's affection transforms into a deadly obsession. His love becomes a twisted game of dominance and possession, leading to a night of unimaginable horror where he enacts a gruesome ritual, consuming her flesh in a grotesque communion with his inner darkness. Fleeing to a new city, he attempts to hide from his past, taking up a job and blending into the mundane routine of urban life. But the forest, with its haunting memories, remains a constant whisper in his mind, urging him to hunt again. In this chilling story, the line between humanity and the beast is blurred, revealing the terrifying power of unchecked desires and the darkness that lurks within us all.
