A forgotten god. A marked girl. A fallen world.
In the Ninth World - where time has eroded empires into myth and broken machines masquerade as miracles - Cassandra dares to break a sacred law.
All her life, she has been haunted by prophetic dreams: fractured visions she only understood when it was too late. But one dream is sharp, urgent, and impossible to ignore. It calls her to the Sea of Rust - a cursed expanse where metal decays, and memory itself corrodes - to enter means exile...or death. There, buried among the bones of titanic war-machines and dead cities, Cassandra uncovers a fragment of something long forgotten... something that remembers being a god.
Now marked by the fragment, Cassandra is on the run. Hunted by the fanatical Iron Order, and haunted by visions, Cassandra must seek refuge in Rusthaven. But within its walls waits the Rumi: a clandestine guild of relic-hunters led by the enigmatic Azra. Their knowledge may be her salvation - or her undoing.
The past is alive in the Ninth World. It whispers in data-ghosts, bleeds through rust....and dreams of rebirth.
****Set in the RPG world of Numenera****

The Red Mafia
The year is 2364 and a teenager approached a broken down robot in a field. The debris of a spaceship lay scattered around the area, barely recognizable as a ship. The teen knelt down and pressed the big "power on" button on the robot. The vintage T.V. began powering up... "Hello?" A humanoid sat on the ruins of an abandoned building. Moss and plants engulfed the stone walls, returning it back to nature. What this building once was, no one modern could know. A duo approached, one waving to the person with a pipe-like arm. The other looked like they would rather be anywhere else. Despite this, the three left together. Now a team of unlikely heroes: a child of a multimillion-dollar cooperation C.E.O., turned acclaimed assassin, an old assistance droid with a stolen soul, and a misplaced child from a magical mossy world. The three, forced to work together by an otherworldly deity, will try to stop a universal leader with a villainous agenda and a god complex. How the trio will cope? I guess we'll find out.

CLOUD CASCADE
It's the year 398 of the Ninth Era, an age dominated by the Federation's authoritarian control and by the insidious influence of megacorps like Mercator Group. Human-piloted, mass-produced machines known as Frames define the battlefield, surveillance programs monitor your every move, and no one alive remembers what it was like before it got this way. It's in this tightly-wound, bloody ecosystem that four lives collide. The Knife, a mob enforcer with the ability to bend matter, ends up a courier for a piece of tech she's been trained not to ask questions about. Angela, a Frame Pilot Specialist with the Ministry of State Affairs, fights for justice only to find deafening silence. Grey, her teammate, just wants to keep the squad sane. Major Falwin, their superior, investigates a crime scene and finds a Knife-shaped ghost. Nobody has all the pieces to the puzzle-not until Frames drop, guns are pointed, and the nature of reality becomes a question mark. In this new, unrelenting conflict, there won't be any winners, only more devastation.
"Neon Reverie: Lovers Beyond the Blackwall" V x Songbird Cyberpunk 2077 AU
In the brutal sprawl of Dogtown, amidst the shattered remnants of Night City's forgotten underworld, two women facing death by technology choose a perilous path beyond mortality. Valerie "V," plagued by the Relic's decay, and Song So Mi, the enigmatic Songbird fighting Blackwall corruption, defy fate by uploading their consciousnesses into the infinite digital abyss known as the Blackwall Beyond. Joined by the fragmented AI spirit Lia, the trio weaves a passionate and transcendent love across fractured realities-battling corporate hunters, hostile ghost-code, and their own unraveling minds. As they forge a new existence in a cybernetic Eden of their own making, their bond becomes a defiant spark of humanity and desire in a world ruled by entropy, pain, and control. Neon Reverie is a raw, erotic exploration of love, identity, and freedom beyond the limits of flesh and code. This story contains explicit scenes of consensual lesbian eroticism, including graphic descriptions of sexual intimacy, neural fusion fantasies, and cyberpunk body transformations. Themes include mental and physical degradation due to advanced technology, identity fragmentation, existential danger, and emotional intensity. The narrative explores complex consent dynamics, passion born of desperation, and transcendent love beyond traditional human boundaries. Reader discretion is advised.Concluida
"Shadows of Time" A Lesbian Time Travel Romance
In 2032, as World War III breaks out, U.S. Air Force Captain Cassandra Smith is ordered to drop a nuclear payload on a major Russian city. But instead of following orders, she defies command and flies into a mysterious storm that inexplicably transports her-and the F-117 Nighthawk-to a different time: the year 1916, in the midst of World War I. Stranded in an era that feels both foreign and familiar, Cassandra must navigate the devastating war, all while carrying a deadly nuclear weapon that could change the course of history. As she battles against the skies filled with vintage aircraft and faces the moral dilemma of whether to destroy her dangerous cargo, she meets Colette, a compassionate French nurse. The two women form a deep connection, finding solace in each other amid the chaos of the war. Caught between the ethics of altering history and the overwhelming love she feels for Colette, Cassandra must make a difficult choice. When an unexpected rift in time opens again, she faces the possibility of returning to her future-but will she return to 2032, or will she choose to remain in the past, where love and life await? "Echoes Through Time" is a gripping time-travel romance that explores the collision of duty and desire, fate and free will. As Cassandra confronts the ethical and emotional challenges of being out of time, she learns that some things-like love-are worth fighting for, even across the boundaries of history.Concluida

Edenfall | Book 1 of The Ash Garden Series
Centuries of war left the world in ashes. Nations fought endlessly over dwindling resources, turning families against each other and weaponizing everything-from bombs to bioweapons to genetics itself. The once-vibrant continent of Virelia, an expansive supercity, became a desert. From this devastation rose Rafri: a new nation ruled by five powerful corporations, promising to guide the survivors toward a fragile peace. Centuries later, Leandra's life seems perfect. Heiress to Virelia Biotek, betrothed to the striking Elias Kael of Nexacorp Systems, she is cared for and protected despite her medical ailments. In the city of Ephyra, she has everything a girl could dream of-until a simple DNA test shatters her world. Her parents aren't her parents; she was stolen. With her parents offering no answers or explanations, Leandra does the only thing she can: she runs. Potoo's life is simple: they steal, they fight, they eat, and then they wake up again tomorrow. In the slums of the outer ring of Ephyra, it's every man for himself, and Potoo liked it that way. That is, until someone with white hair and piercing blue eyes turned everything upside down. Suddenly, survival isn't just about the streets anymore-they're being hunted, and dragged into a mystery involving a girl whose life may change everything. As secrets unravel, Leandra and Potoo discover the truth is far bigger than a stolen child. It's a truth that could heal their shattered world-but only if they survive long enough to see it through. ------------- Status: Hiatus :(
