Aegis is a cyber-noir thriller set in a world where a portion of humans developed powers after a week long darkness: when the whole world was shrouded in a mysterious grey fog with no origin or end.
Aegis is a government organisation in charge of training Varients to become Anomaly hunters who maintain the peace and order by eliminating anomalies before they cause destruction or casualties.
With no past memories, Veronica finds herself recruited in Aegis X7 whose Chairman is Alric S. Morrow, and strange doctor claiming she is going to develop powers soon in near future.
But the seemingly functional system is just a cover, with danger lurking in every corner. People here have unwritten rules refraining them from mentioning 'Vesper' a not so hidden opposing faction of government. They call themselves Vesper, government ruling them out as a criminal organisation, but there seems to be more to it.
With the Government and the Vesper being in an unwritten power struggle, along with the expanding influence of the leader of Vesper, who is to be trusted?
As days go by, Veronica starts questioning whether Aegis is just a simple government organisation or a part of something bigger and twisted. Navigating her path through Aegis while trying to uncover her past, Veronica finds herself going down the rabbit hole; or maybe, she has been deep down the rabbit hole from the very beginning.
The starting chapters might seem a bit slow as to establish the necessary world building, but rest assured; things go downhill and plot thickens real soon.

Project NOVA
No one knows her name. No one remembers the program. Fifteen years ago, Project NOVA burned itself out of existence - a covert military experiment designed to create perfect human operatives through psychological conditioning, sensory deprivation, and combat reprogramming. Every file was erased. Every scientist buried. Every subject presumed dead. But one lived. Now, the woman known only as Nova moves through the world like a ghost - a silent weapon-for-hire with no allegiance, no past, and no record. Her efficiency is legendary; her detachment, absolute. To most agencies, she's an asset. To others, a rumor. When a classified threat surfaces - something tied to the same black-ops labs that built her - the elite strike team ONYX is ordered to bring her in as a consultant. The men of ONYX - Commander Asher Vale, sharpshooter Reid Hawthorne, tech specialist Kade Mercer, and demolitions expert Silas Ward - have spent years surviving on trust, instinct, and brotherhood. They follow orders. They don't take risks. And they definitely don't work with outsiders. Until she walks in. Nova becomes the team's greatest weapon and deepest fracture. Her presence ignites suspicion, desire, and a quiet terror that none of them can name - because the more they uncover about her, the clearer it becomes: Project NOVA never ended. It evolved. It's watching. And she isn't just their newest operative. She's the reason they were assembled in the first place.
Bad Decisions
All I know is bad... bad decisions... A new company has taken hold of LA over the last few years; M.I.N.D. Labs, Inc., which allows patients to view their memories and more via a neural link. People flock to the clinics to view their past selves, and live in their own fantasy worlds. But some hate the artificial manipulations of someone's memories, and are hellbent on making it known. Aurora Kestrel is the Head of Security and Liquidation of M.I.N.D. Labs, Inc, or in simpler terms, an assassin, tasked to hunt down and eliminate those who stand in the company's way to worldwide success. And she takes her job very seriously. After a successful takedown of a smaller clinic site by a new unheard of vigilante group, she is given her most difficult target to take out yet; the leader of the vigilante group, Noah Sebastian. But he won't go down without a fight, and he's determined to take her down with him, dragging down with him her mind, her body... and her heart. CW: This is a very dark romance, and I will update these as the story progresses, but this is a blanket warning. Clearly, there is sexual content. Blood and gore are also included, as well as some drug and alcohol use, and mental health issues. Reader discretion is highly advised, and like always, this is the only warning you will receive. Authors Note: This world is totally different than the CJ stories. I plan on only one single book for this, but who knows.

Encantadia: Panata ng Pag-ibig at Himagsik
In a realm guarded by four elemental gems-Fire, Water, Earth, and Air-the balance of Encantadia is once again threatened. From the frozen world of Mine-ave rises Mitena, the Ice Queen, with a single purpose: to extinguish the light and enslave the elements under her rule. But in the heart of the cold, fire is reborn. Pirena, former Queen of Hathoria, returns from exile-not just as a monarch, but as a mother, a warrior, and a bearer of hope. Upon her return, she is confronted by a ghost from her past: Azulan, the father of her child, the man she long believed to be dead... now a general in the very army that once crushed her kingdom. Between them lies a love long buried-scarred by betrayal, silence, and years of separation. While Azulan walks the razor's edge as a spy within Mitena's court, Pirena struggles to keep her distance, torn between trust and fear. How do you love a man who vanished in the dark? And how do you forgive him when you still don't understand why? Together with their daughter Cassandra and a new generation of Sang'gres, they must face the wounds of the past, the secrets of the present, and a war that will decide the fate of their world. At every turn, hearts will clash with duty, rage will wrestle with forgiveness, and fire will meet ice. In the end, the question is not who holds the most power-but who is willing to fight for the light... and for love. An epic tale of family, betrayal, redemption, and a love that never truly died. A new generation. A new flame. A new Encantadia.
The Hidden Crown
Crown Princess Aurelia Elira Sylvaris was born the only heir to Veloria, a kingdom of rainforests, waterfalls, and bioluminescent light. But destiny tore her from the throne. Gifted with the Force, she was sent to the Jedi Temple-her royal lineage hidden, her crown replaced by a Padawan's braid. To the galaxy, she is only Elira. To her people, she is the heir they cannot lose. To herself, she is a shadow caught between duty and doubt. Her master's cruelty hardens her, whispering that she is never enough. Yet there is one person she cannot forget-Anakin Skywalker, the boy who once made her feel seen. A misunderstanding shattered their bond, but neither can sever the truth that lingers between them. They are tied by something rare and unspoken: when one is wounded, the other feels the pain. As war brews and loyalties fracture, Elira struggles to keep her secret, her crown, and her heart safe. But when the boy she once loved reenters her life-not as a friend, but as a man destined for greatness-Elira must face the most dangerous truth of all: some bonds cannot be broken, even by the Jedi. A hidden heir. A forbidden bond. A destiny that could shatter a kingdom-or save a galaxy.Concluida
Ravenous
Aeris, a once-naïve mage who had accepted to have her powers hidden by the Magic Government for protection, soon discovers how mistaken she was. Betrayed by people she trusted and hounded by the cult known as the Broken Star for years, she becomes their target after consistently refusing their request to join. When they strike, Aeris expects death-yet fate has other plans. Instead of perishing, she awakens in the depths of a strange forest, her body bruised from an attack by a mystical beast. Soon, she finds herself stranded in the Nemophilist Forest, a notorious wilderness on an island owned by the Hunter Association, where only the fittest survive the cruel selection trials. These trials are designed to test every boundary, subjecting participants to terrible physical and magical challenges, forcing them to face their deepest fears, and often resulting in death for all but the most hardy. Here, Aeris finds a peculiar man-Luther, a mystery figure with an unlimited energy source rushing through his body, making him an ideal and irresistible "food tanker" for her. His inexhaustible energy reservoirs can finally fulfill her devouring powers, which leave her eternally hungry and restless. What begins as an instinctual pursuit to keep him healthy and feed her ravenous desire soon grows into a far wider journey. As Aeris and Luther traverse the increasingly deadly trials, they unearth secret truths-about Luther's history, the diabolical conspiracy behind the Broken Star's strike, and the far-reaching power struggles governing the world. The world is darker and more intricate than Aeris had ever imagined. The legends and whispers she once thought were simply tales are becoming horrifying realities, and every new secret she finds only links her more to the webs of a conspiracy that threatens all she holds dear. Can Aeris escape the sinister plan around her, or will her need for answers and Luther's energy lead her to become a pawn in a far greater, more lethal game?
The Fall of The Veil
"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*Concluida
