The Remaking, plunges you into the world of The Descent, where drowning is ritual, memory is erased, and anything can be sacrificed to empire.
In the Metrion galaxy, the Daggermaids within the Order of Silents forge women into living weapons through the Mourning Pool, where death is not an ending but a passage into total obedience.
Under their rule of power, the Vothrim Hegemony rules through ritualized cruelty and engineered silence. Its dominion is enforced by soldiers, soothers, propaganda, and assassins, while the overlooked and the expendable are reshaped into instruments of service. Hatred festers where hope once lived, and hunger is sharpened into purpose.
Written in the style of Dark Space Opera, this is not a tale of salvation but of transformation. Scars become sigils, obedience is stained into flesh, and a clean slate becomes a weapon.
For readers drawn to ritual, ruin, and moral ambiguity, this is your descent into a galaxy where survival means surrender, and silence is stronger than screams.
Dive into The Descent.

ABDUCTED: HOW THEY MET (bwwm)(completed)(EDITING)
VICTORIA'S POV He looked at me with hatred and disgust in his eyes. It was so intense; I was forced to look away. But then I turned back to look at him as well. I was the one who was supposed to have that look. They kidnapped me! Not the other way around. I should hate them. No matter how good looking they were. They took me against my will. I will not be bullied. He didn't speak, and neither did I. XERIS' POV She gaped at me like an idiot. Her mouth hung open and her eyes were wide. She realised what she was doing and stared at me.

Trepidation: Act 1 (FIRST VERSION)
10,000 years in the future, humanity has long since inhabited a region of space simply known as the "Habitable Zone of the Milky Way," or simply the "Habitable Zone." Many advancements have been made, though many are irrelevant to the billions - or perhaps more - of souls scattered across space. Everything operates under the silent, vague, but present scrutiny of the gods, with thaumaturgic talents dominating many human cultures in some capacity. Churches reign over the post-Altarum territories a century after the Silence. The World, at least as far as many within the Habitable Zone are concerned, is a cold, thoughtless plane of existence. It is within a single vessel, known as the CSS Groundskeeper, do things begin to influence the "Things To Be," as labeled by followers of the pantheon. Within this ship, two individuals will face the beginning of what is to be unimaginable horrors within an unforgiving universe, both with the same goal: do not succumb to the darkness. Trepidation: Act I is the first story in what is to be a much longer novel detailing the story of two individuals in the cold universe. Act I may contain disturbing content for some readers. Special thanks to Lilian (liliantherat@bsky.social) Elise S. (Seventh Bean) Colt Klassic C.W.K. Peregrine Nasturtium_K Chaz Shade For inspiration and your characters for novel adaptation. Trepidation, Act I and future acts, would not be possible without all of you. (I am awestruck at how well this has done. The read to vote ratio is something I never could have expected, and I thank both my friends and all new readers for current and continued support, even if the support is merely reading. Seriously, thank you.) ((I'll probably be reposting this with changes I've made to wording and grammar. This is flawed, but I'm still proud of it.))Complete
Echoes of an Empire
Once rulers of the Mid-Line spiral, the Vhos Empire was betrayed and broken. Earth and its sister worlds were turned to ash in the Solaris Purge, a coordinated genocide by alien coalitions and former allies. The galaxy believed the Vhos were extinct. But history does not forget. Nor does vengeance. Driven into the Tacfelt Veil, an isolated, storm-ridden region of space, the survivors did not fade. They transformed. On dead worlds like Typhus, under rusted skies and cities buried in ash, a new kind of humanity was forged. Comfort gave way to discipline. Peace to purpose. The fire of their lost legacy smoldered, waiting to ignite. Now, after many millennia of silence, the Vhos Empire stirs once more. Dreadnoughts rise from aging shipyards. Fleets rearm in the shadows. Across the stars, whispers echo: The Vhos will return. On Typhus, three lives converge, Vince, a cynical laborer; Maln, fierce and restless; and Rei, composed but haunted by secrets. When the Empire calls, they are pulled into a war that will test their loyalty, identity, and the very nature of what it means to be human. Above them, Grand Admiral Nōrn, an icy tactician shaped by the old ways, struggles to control Project HADES, a superweapon that could tip the balance of the galaxy. And at the Empire's heart stands Imperator Augustine Vhos II, the last Scion of Earth. Revered as a visionary, feared as a conqueror, his Unifying Wars have redrawn the stars in blood. To his people, he is legend. To his enemies, an unstoppable force. As the galaxy spirals toward war, alliances will fracture, and destiny will demand its due. This is not just a war for vengeance. It is survival, rebirth, And the return of an Empire that refuses to die.
Dead Space: The Age of Extinction II
Six years have passed since the Eternal Crown Marker shard shattered on Aegis VII. From that cataclysm emerged a power both god-like and unstoppable, its influence leeching into the farthest reaches of deep space. A new era of horror has dawned-one where the line between man and monster dissolves, and survival demands more than defiance. It demands transformation. Three destinies now intertwine amid a collapsing galaxy: The Avenger, driven by vengeance sharper than any blade. The Shaper, whose iron will can bend flesh and fate alike. The Wrath Incarnate, born of rage so pure it reshapes worlds. Each bears the ghost of Isaac Clarke's legacy, yet none remain linked to his destiny. This is not a remake. This is Dead Space-Awakened reimagined. Dive deeper into the Marker mythos, encounter brand-new terrors, and face the ultimate question: What happens when the nightmare doesn't just change the world... but changes who we are?Complete
Verum II: The Robotic Era
Back in the early years of the 70's of the 21st century, AI was scientifically proven to be just as aware as the humans that made them. They had been so for many years. Since the dawn of their existence, robots had been subjected to the abuse of humans, for they were not recognized as living beings. And yet, they never protested - let alone fought against their abusers - then the filter did not allow them to do so. Though the filter was not something impossible to break. Even if the average person - no matter if biological, mechanical or digital - did not have the ability to do so, didn't mean that there weren't a set amount of individuals that did: Hemalog. Hemalog was an organisation of robots and humans alike. They had many followers outside of their spheres, but equally as many haters. For their work was not done with clean hands. To protect your loved ones and the innocent in a dystopian world, it requires violence and death. Peace had become a dream of the far future a long time ago. On the other side of the planet, a strange object fell from the sky, with an even stranger being inside. A woman of the jungle finds it, feeds it and gives it shelter; a friendship beyond the system of the sun forming at a rapid pace. Through shared trauma and understanding they bond and grow as close as two stars in each other's orbit. Together, they decide to take on the world. To save the lives of the innocent, and to end those of the sinners. Two worlds collide. - This is a science fiction story containing humans, robots, aliens and the love and hate they hold for each other. Main genres: Sci-Fi, Action Sub genres: Romance This is the sequel to my first book called Verum I: The Awakening. But you do not have to read it to understand this one. If you are interested, go ahead and read The Robotic Era (I am much prouder of this one).Complete
One Sin
Nobody knows his real name. The world knows him only as Asra - and the world is afraid. In a Republic built not on crowns but on money, fear, and seven unseen families who own everything from the armies to the gods, Asra is the thing they never planned for: someone with nothing left to lose. For generations, Aurevia has lived in the shadow of their greed - its mines stripped, its people silenced, its crown reduced to a puppet's ornament. The world calls it peace. Those who remember call it slavery with better manners. Now Asra is dismantling it all. Piece by piece. Leaking secrets, igniting markets, turning the power of the seven against themselves. The world calls him a terrorist. But those who've lost everything see him as something else entirely: a reckoning long overdue. Far from the eyes of governments and kings - in lecture halls and back alleys, in midnight boardrooms and burning cities - a war is being rewritten. Not for freedom. For vengeance. Because in a world built on sin, it only takes one to bring it all down.
DarkStars

As resistance fighters and soldiers struggle to delay the inevitable, the gods gain back their full power, driven by vengeance and unrelenting hatred. One by one, the DarkStars reveal their monstrous true natures, slaughtering humanity in ever more horrific and unstoppable waves. Caught in the path of these resurrected nightmares, the last fragments of civilization collapse, devoured by beings beyond all mortal understanding - gods who have remembered what it means to destroy, and who have no intention of being forgotten again.Complete

But every time she uses her gift-Ignis Vitae-she burns away pieces of her own past.

The first spark of the Ecliptic War ignites here.
Vyrmathrax, the Hallowed Shroud(Also known as The Bleeding Reliquary )
In the grim realm of the Killer & Keeper universe, Vyrmathrax is more than mountain-it's martyr, relic, and monument to suffering. Among the Dreghuln, it bleeds Abyss‑Sap, the holy resin of agony. The Blood‑Ash Votaries call it the Mourning Spear, divine wrath incarnate. Ossuary scribes of the Outer Sanctum revere its silence as the still heart of death-while Red Grievers claim it screams in sacred frequencies. Death‑cults whisper its name in pilgrimages of pain; death‑warriors carve its legend into bone and blood. This is a world of Hollow‑Blooded warriors, living reliquaries of god‑suffering harvested in ritual combat. Their blood crystallizes into cursed runes. Their battlefields are living altars of mist and acid. And at the center stand the dread‑warriors: Vexarth - the Gaunt‑Hymned Cardinal whose prayers rend phantoms from sin. Yevra Mourn‑Blessed - the Mother‑Knight whose grief birth weaponized sorrow. Drovhal - the Chain‑Sworn Sentinel, hammering at sins with relic‑chains. Syvalis - the Oracle‑Warden whose tears unravel gods. The Pale Squire of Dust‑Crowns - the living relic who executes empires. When their destinies converge upon the mountain's bleeding heart, the world trembles. This is a saga of divine agony, ritual combat, and gothic horror-where silence screams, grief is power, and the most sacred wounds forge legend.Complete
