The world is diseased.
From its every corner, Auros pours with pain and suffering. Demons plague the land, and the people's gods seem to have abandoned them. The lands of Aldeon and Ghosphum suffer, the old empire is crushed, and the war-ravaged land is wet with blood.
Not all would stand idle while their world crumbles down around them, and, although their paths are unclear, the few people who will stand up to the darkness will find their fates, however sordid, and ready themselves for their own pursuits of success.
"Walk not into the darkness that shrouds. Walk not into the darkness that tempts. Walk not into the darkness that spites. Yet walk always into the light, for thou shalt see what separates it from the dark. And thou shalt find thine eternal salvation thereon." Resolutions, the Holy Cantlibrar.

If only You
Two worlds as distant as GN Z-11 and Earth intertwine not only in space but also in time. In a small town in the hills of Wales, a disoriented woman wakes up one day, desperately searching for answers to questions about where she came from, why, and for what purpose. Although she doesn't remember her past, her soul cries out that this is not her place. In a distant, parallel world, where evil and corruption reign supreme, and white people, who have disappeared, constitute a mere fraction of a percent, a man struggles for survival. One night, their worlds collide in a dream. Will they be able to help each other, will they be able to save themselves? Is this a dream, or perhaps a reality we are not yet ready to accept?
Grimlore - The Shattered Continent
A land torn by gods, ruled by monsters... and on the brink of war once more. A hundred years ago, two demi-gods clashed in a battle so fierce it shattered the continent. Both perished, leaving behind their creations - heroes, horrors, and rulers who carved Grimlore into five warring regions. Now, in the Age of Ruin, queens, kings, beasts, and warlords fight for survival and dominion. From the radiant halls of Veyra to the shadowed citadel of Neyros, alliances crumble, betrayals fester, and ancient artifacts resurface, relics with the power to change the fate of the world. But in Grimlore, one truth remains eternal, power is never given. It is taken.
Eros
Eros, a world forsaken by its gods, left to be governed by kings and Magi, gifted with control over various elements. *** Some say the gods are dead. That Godswar left no victor standing. That perhaps they never wore flesh at all, and old tales are mere tales. Others say they have left this land to their creations, or merely left their bodies, and are now the living spirit of their own element, gifting and empowering their chosens. There's, however, a whisper of madness, or perhaps a jest, that the gods are alive, never ceasing to weave fate to their whims. That they will be seen once again, in time to finish Godswar. Whether it is the gods' will, or not, as the ambitions of kings and outlaws tangle with ploys of betrayal, personal vendettas, fury and passion, a war is sure to come.

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
The Ossuary Crown
In the dead heart of a continent abandoned by mercy, the Kingdom of Vyrmathrax festers like an open wound sealed in crown and ritual. Draped in perpetual ash and carved from divine bone, this cathedral‑fortress realm answers to a single creed: "Only That Which Bleeds Is True." Beneath a bruised sky etched with sacrificial lightning, the Ossuary Crown rises-its towers hewn from skulls and ribcages, each toll of its femur‑bells a requiem for souls long damned. At its scarred throne sits an unmasked monarch wreathed in stunned flames and sacred pain. Around her kneel bone‑clad Knights of the Weeping Oath, their swords relic crucifixes, their visors bleeding incense. The Clergy of the Godshroud preach salvation through agony: tongues cut and replaced with bells, rites stained with entrails and martyr's blood. Pilgrims crawl through the Valley of Thorns beneath statues of weeping saints, begging entry to a land where faith is wrought in suffering. From the Sanctified Ribways to the Eye‑Hollows, from the Marrow‑Vaults to the Throat Clefts, every breath, heartbeat, and shard of bone is a hymn to glorious pain. But as the Crimson Synod weaves judgment with flayed flesh and voicelatched prophets, a missing Ember‑Tongue's final prophecy stirs behind the veil of death. Welcome to Vyrmathrax. Here, in the cathedral of divine wounds, you are not alive until you've bled.Complete
Greyskin
Imilaris in a largely unknown world with a small pantheon of young gods. Hoping to create their Utopia, they took humans and made them more than what they were previously. Magic, power, beauty, all the things people covet were granted to them from their gods. But there would always be someone wishing to have more. In their pursuit of greed, people built gates, some of which lead to laces that should not be visited. The Utopia build by gods gets invaded by demons and gods struggle to overcome their invasion. Their success is limited, confining the demons to the eastern part of their world. Twenty odd years ago, a Demon Lord rose up and once again upset the balance of the world. With another invasion, he conquered the world and eradicated the most magnificent race in the world and robbing their goddess of her people. Soon after, the Demon Lord is betrayed, his empire crumbling. The goddess is on the brink of death, the last princess of her people enslaved and abused and with no way to help her. Now, the princess gives birth to something new, a union of light of the gods and demonic scourge. A demon, strong and powerful, cruel and awesome. A greyskin.Complete
The Crownless Lands
Welcome, traveler. Step into the Crownless Lands-a realm that should have been golden but never was. The maps still show grand borders; the songs still promise glory. But up close you'll find frayed banners, broken vows, and people trying to live between the teeth of history. Here, adventurers hunt fortunes that refuse to be found. Heroes rise late or fall early. Lives are traded, stolen, and sometimes-miraculously-saved. And the creatures? Some stalk the roads and terrorize the villages. Others arrive with a lesson sharp as a blade. And the kingdom's worst monsters wear crowns made of lies. --- What You're Getting Into: A weekly high/dark-fantasy pulp serial-fast, moody, full of intrigue, sorcery, and razor twists. Each episode lands a complete beat and ends on a cliffhanger. Where It All Unravels: A continent under a failing crown: forts crumble, roads go quiet, new rules harden. Towns and frontiers fend for themselves-more grit than resources. Bloodlines, Beasts & the In-Between: Shifts among humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and classic creatures-some scourge, some uneasy allies. How the Story Moves: Chapters leap across the map, braiding many plots into one struggle. Local skirmishes mirror the bigger fight for a crown no one can hold. The People Worth Bleeding For: An ensemble of adventurers, exiles, heirs, and schemers. Not every arc finds light-some rise late, fall early, or trade all for one mercy. Your Weekly Drop: New chapters every Thursday, 6-10k words. Each deepens the world, sharpens the cast, and drives the saga-great for weeklies and first-timers. Important Note: The story follows multiple destinies; chapters are non-sequential and jump between plots across the Crownless Lands.
