What do you live for?
Do you live for that thrill?
The despair?
Or the look of fear in their eyes?
Many would say it's sick, that it's morally wrong to live in the shadows and embrace that darkness clawing from the depths of your soul. Others would glance in pity, remorse, hate-but, oh, that sickeningly sweet nectar of hope is disgusting-it's fun to crash it though.
That's how the renowned and versatile Sorcerer, Korscher Trin Alexnyx, craved that void of nothing but evil. Hiding behind the mask of a respectable teacher and guide of the people, he bottled this sickness deep within his spirit, until his world was brought to ruins by a force far greater than his.
He saved the people-he could have, but he gazed upon the bloodbath with a grin like he was watching an entertaining spectacle.
It was an addictive play; he had to admit.
Until the true knight struck him in anger with his spiritual sword-that's where Korscher's fable ended.
And thus began his Orphic descent in another world parallel to his.

"You know we could have a really deep and emotional conversation now about friendship and trust and the wonderful dynamics of life but you've got that look on your face again." He sighed. "What look?" "You know, just that look you always have." "You mean just my fucking face?" "Whatever it is it looks fed up right now and if I didn't know better I would say jealous but I do know better and I'm fairly sure you're just hungry." The analogy was embarrassing but fair enough until he muttered "or thirsty," at the end which earnt him another glare that he basically didn't notice, too busy waving at Chann and counting down on his fingers in the desperate attempt to see Chann just fucking neck whatever alcohol he was holding now. 🖤 Now Complete 🖤 What happens when looking for an escape from reality actually works, but not in the way you had thought.

L is the 'villain' that reigned in tyranny for over 300 years. Finally, one day, she was captured and killed. At least that's popular knowledge. L is alive, though restrained. And what happens when another threat threatens the world? Well...it seems you ask the previous threat to fight it for you. ........... Places are burned to the ground. Strange symbols are found. Magic is getting stolen. And L's the one who needs to discover the culprit. With the help of heroes-in-the-making and some old allies, L will travel to the Demon realm, where a new Demon King has appeared. He also happens to be the main suspect. But first, L has to regain control of her magic(that went mad), the heroes-to-be have to get trained (they're kids) and the militaries have to find out who the spy is (yes, there's a spy).

Lord of the Night
SAMPLE -- TO BE PUBLISHED AS EBOOK AND PAPERBACK IN 2026 His orders were simple: interrogate the Demon prince and then kill him. He can't afford to pity the Demon--much less fall for him. *** Fourteen years ago, the Demons conquered the world, decimating the Guardian order and enslaving humanity. Now, the last Guardians live underground, quietly rebuilding and waiting for a chance to strike back. Remgar, a noble Guardian hardened by loss, is honored with a mission of vengeance: interrogate the High Demon Prince and break him. It seems like a dream come true-until he meets the prisoner. Isalio, the younger brother of the Demon High Prince, is sarcastic, disarmingly sweet, and far too human. As forbidden feelings percolate between interrogator and captive, Remgar is forced to confront a truth more terrifying than any Demon: he doesn't want to break Isalio. He wants to save him. Torn between the oath he swore and the heart he never meant to offer, Remgar must decide what kind of Guardian he truly is. Because in a world where evil reigns and love is a death sentence, choosing wrong could doom them both. |2024 Wattys Shortlist|Complete

PREVIEW: Sei watched the man intently grovel behind his red veil, hiding the wicked smile staring back. He tilted his head to the side. "Say it again." His voice was still as quiet as a whisper. The man stammered, "Say wh..what?" "My name." Clink...Sei took a step closer to the cowering man. The man looked behind himself as if there was any means of escape but it was hopeless. Behind him was only death, the dying cries crescendoing with each fleeting moment. Clink... He took another step. "Say it!" Sei took another and another. "SAY IT!" The words sounded twisted and deranged as if the monster from one's worst nightmare had finally come to life. The man fell to his knees and whimpered pathetically, "Crimson Warlock." Sei suddenly disappeared deep into the mist. The man shifted around scared not knowing where the Crimson Warlock went. A deep raspy laughter began subtly behind him, "That's it." Sei yanked the man back by his hair making their eyes meet finally.

Cuervo: Eternity Begins
When grief hardened into silence, and silence into unbearable stillness, Alma broke the only rule that remained: she let herself become something else. Something other. Something unkillable. She stepped out of memory and into myth, shedding her name like an old skin. And thus, Cuervo was born. A man sculpted from the shadows of every life he could never live. Beautiful, fluent in every language, kissed by every passport and none. The world opened its doors to him - lovers, stages, backseats, rooftops - and he wandered through them all like smoke. But even as he laughed and touched and played the part of god among mortals, he knew the truth: no one stays. He doesn't age. And those who love him? They always do. But when love returns - real, luminous, defiant - Cuervo must choose: vanish once more into legend, or stay and watch it rot in his immortal hands. What is a man like him, if not a ruin? A temple still echoing with the prayers of a life that no longer exists? Cuervo: Eternity Begins is a queer, aching, spellbound fable - a story stitched with feathers, lust, and longing. It is not about death. It is about what happens when you survive it.Complete
