On his journey, Zek comes across people of all kinds both good and dastardly who have plans of their own for him as they learn of just how much power resides with in him. While all he wants to is to learn to control he never asked for and to change himself back... if he still can.
John Steelbane is the first son in a long line of heroes who's family has been serving as the right hand of the emperor for hundreds of generations as Mage hunters. Anytime someone looses them selves to their greed for more power they become a threat to the empire. But the Steelbane family has always been the ones to keep the piece and put an end to these rogue Mages before they get anyone hurt... or worse. And John is the next in line to take up the mantle of the commander of the High Guard, the defenders of the people and personal guard to the Emperor himself. Can he live up to the expectations or will he be crushed by them.

A Dog with a Bone (K/DA x Male Reader)
A K/DA x bodyguard male reader story, (we're so back). "Govos 'Uncle Zed' Usan, was the headmaster and chairman of the Ionian order, Order of Shadow, since 1986 and up until his death in 2025. The death of the moral, idealistic, and wise man sent a wave through the hearts of members of the Order of Shadow, and other Ionian orders as well. The rivalry between existing orders and members of the ever-crumbling Order of Shadow created dilemma that would decide the fate of those within it.", (Puldis-Frumias, n.d.). As a Red Pole of the Order of Shadow, Y/N L/N revered, even mourned Uncle Zed as his mentor and guiding light through the shadows has faded. His world was shattered, with every option he took seeming to threaten his existence; all but one. A cowardice choice, one only done by those without true hearts, has been forced upon him. Y/N fled Ionia in a "selfish desire" for survival, retreating to Piltover, where he meets an old friend, and in turn, builds a new life, for him and for others. Who else does he inspire or build onto? What does he find in world's biggest trade hub? How can we be sure the demons from Ionia won't come back to haunt him? This wasn't just a quest for survival, was it? What's the "Bone" for this guard dog? WARNING: This story is heavily inspired by Sleeping Dogs and games similar. You have been warned, now remember to detach characters from the author. Please don't have the mental capacity of a piece of string cheese found randomly on a college kid's front doorstep. CONTEXTUAL NOTE: This will be my own modern adaptation of the LoL Runeterra world. Piltover and Zaun will be most like the United States, Ionia will be various different Asian nations depending on small location, as it's not necessarily big enough to house every Asian nation. The rest of the LoL Runeterra destinations I will leave up to the reader to interpret.Complete
Fiesta de Moda (Qiyana x Male Reader)
[Male Reader x True Damage Qiyana, Short Story] True Damage is, unfortunately, one of the many pop groups that may have withered away into the depth of irrelevancy, but one thing is for certain, they could come back at any moment, and rock the world. With popular members like Akali going K/DA, K/DA this, K/DA that, nobody stops to think about the others, namely, Qiyana Yunalai, the empress of the elements. The split of her group only enabled Qiqi to pursue greatness ever-so further. Now on her own, she's only "grown" since the break. As not only a member of royalty that she left behind, but also a famous female singer, she gathered a lot of traction. Traction that created rivalries, conflict, and a glamorous war that we couldn't predict. She's going to need all the help she can get to put them in their place, that's where you come in. Just... try not to resort to violence, oh, and leave her out of your past... WARNING: This story will be shorter and less action-filled, more thriller, despite the concept. This will be my own modern adaptation of the LoL Runeterra world blended with the real world. This book is also marked as mature for a reason, and I might use the "dead dove" term for this one as it can get quite dark. It has potential to contain foul language, swearing, slurs, sexual content, alcohol and drug references, violence, sexism, racism. You have been warned, now remember to detach characters from the author. Please don't have the mental capacity of a pickle. Also, if I get bored, I may turn it smutty. P.S. This story will eventually appear on Royal Road and AO3 under "WoffleStomp". Cover art/asset credits: Dandonfuga, Mike Buttsauce (fluffypuppy2003), WoffleStomp (myself)Complete

My Cursed Luck (K/DA x Male Reader)
- (This story was made when I was still growing as a writer and a person, you have been warned.) - Y/N is an archivist, scratch that, an "information artist", and he likes to believe he's cursed, cursed with bad luck, resulting in the constant lack of optimism, depression. However, his past few years have been pretty tame as far as just going to work, going home to play games, and then taking part in game nights or jam nights with people in his townhouse. - His childhood was rough, filled with traumatic memories and situations with his family, not to mention he wasn't unique. Of all the people in Runeterra, he never had an ability. No tails, no wings, no spells to be casted, he was just... powerless, or so he thought. - All of it may have changed when a got a birthday present from one of his online friends that would change his life forever. So, maybe his luck began to turn, or perhaps, did it even change at all? [MINI-SPECIALS OR CONTINUATIONS YET TO COME!] - P.S. This story is mature so expect the bad stuff, and I do not own the rights of most images or direct quotes in my work, however you will be credited if need be. I used inspiration from Just My Luck by Depore, originally a K/DA fanfic, find his work on Royal Road, The Manager series books by IvanBullock, and many more. - P.P.S. Personally, I think this story sucks compared to some of my NEWEST work (Dual Venture and beyond), but I of all people should understand that this story is not for everyone. PLEASE think before you comment! You'll catch this beautiful feature called a mute otherwise. :)Complete
Rags to Riches (True Damage Senna x Male Reader)
[Short Story] It starts with Ekko Lee and Y/N L/N, best friends since grade school, each who found their own out of the Zaun hood. One through rapping on the street corners, dropping his heater for a mixer, having his mixtape picked up by K/DA's very own Akali for a listen. Another, through the darkest pit of hell that has opened to swallow him whole, alongside demons, and paper flying from his duffle bag. A criminal, a felon with dirty fingers, a grubby clown, a freak, "a greedy jester who shows no remorse for his fellow human being on his self-proclaimed, 'fight against corruption'.", as his favorite news station loves to portray it. Nobody knew who Y/N really became, and those who did would never sell a brother out. Keep that truth locked up tight like Stillwater, Firelights for life. Ekko and Y/N had a falling out as one would expect. Something made them cross paths once again... or was it someone... Man, I don't know what it was... I ain't tellin' you anyway. DISCLAIMER: This will be my own modern adaptation of the LoL Runeterra world. Zaun is going to be the bad part of the city, whilst Piltover will be the richer, more prosperous side. I'm going to try and make it look like Los Angeles, California, but use different names. WARNING: This book is marked as mature for a reason. It has potential to contain foul language, swearing, slurs, sexual content, alcohol and drug references, violence, sexism, racism, potential colorism, potential featurism, potential texturism. You have been warned, now remember to detach characters from the author. Please don't have the mental capacity of a limp piece of lettuce.Complete
A Dual Venture: HUNTR/X and K/DA (K/DA x HUNTR/X x Male Reader)
(Riot Records Universe and KPop Demon Hunters crossover) In this story, we have two groups who come together. In Seoul, South Korea houses the fierce K-pop group that took the world by storm and kept it bound to them in the end: HUNTR/X. And in Los Angeles, the United States houses a blend, so structurally diverse, yet a steady beating heart that shook the world with enchanting tunes and godlike imagery: K/DA. However, at the center of it all, we have two masterminds, two cogs in the machines that kept these trains rolling. Bobby, the passionate manager of HUNTR/X, and YOU, the "lucky skater boy", AKA the manager of K/DA. Through the music business, coworkers, soon best friends. This led to collaboration, joint tours, horrors beyond mortal comprehension, demonic rituals, violent killings, missing people, but most importantly... their dual venture. DISCLAIMER: This is written like a real book, (no script writing, none of that BS) and it is no longer bait. This is mature for a reason, expect mature things and all kinds of drama. (There might be Fortnite later in the book). P.S. This story will eventually be on AO3 and Royal Road under a "Woffle" variation.Complete
A Knights Realm: Forsaken Rise
The history of Tiseria is littered with ferocious battles. Battles, between the many different races, which threatened to engulf the entire realm. Races and creatures have become extinct, or very close to it, but, no war had been as terrible as the Dark Wars. Over a thousand years ago the Cultists of Volkin tried to bring forth their underworld god into the living realm. They almost succeeded. The cult had been defeated by the allied forces of the Four Kingdoms, and by the Covenant of the Magi. Tiseria prospered and there was general peace in the wake of the Dark Wars. Peace which had gone, relatively, unbroken, until now. The armies of darkness are rising once more. After more than a millennia the Cult of Volkin has returned, returned to finish what they had started. The cult is more devastating than ever, equipped with powers bestowed upon them by Volkin himself. They intend to wreck havoc, spread corruption, fear and distraught, through the kingdoms, and raise their Dark God once again. Releasing a corruption upon the physical realm, and causing the various races to become hosts for evil spirits, the Cult of Volkin is demonstrating their power to all. The descendants of the Covenant of the Magi and Knights Order, combined to create the Order of Light, must once again brave the horrors brought forth by Volkin's minions. Two knights have been chosen to undertake the suicidal mission of reuniting the races of Tiseria and retying the bonds of allegiance between them. The fallen, and dishonoured, Knight-Captain, Ryan Quinn, and the proud, and noble, Michael Crow, must traverse the three remaining kingdoms in hopes of uniting the Human, Dwarven and Elven races once more against the terror that is Volkin. With dungeons, dragons, magic and goblins set to cross their paths, can these two knights survive and what else will they encounter?Complete
