Demons, Bounty Hunters and Warlocks, Oh My! Lead characters Matt Texer and Holly Wren embark upon a perilous 'quest' to the hyper-lethal Apex ring, hoping to determine if theories of a second threat to human existence are grounded in reality.
A somewhat dystopian tale about a devastated and weak humanity and an earth plagued by a demonic threat. In other words, this probably isn't going to end well.

Default Name
In a fractured world where bio-symbiotic creatures called Klors grant people deadly powers at the cost of their lives, the Yubun Bounty stands as both protector and executioner. When rookie hunter Rede Bakker secretly bonds with a Klor just as a high-profile murder rocks the organization, he's thrust into a web of conspiracies, betrayal, and political warfare.

Star Wars: Agents of the Outer Rim
One year after the Battle of Exegol, scattered remnants of the First Order threaten to regroup in the Outer Rim. Resistance Agent Volition is dispatched to Batuu, tasked with investigating their growing activity. She is partnered with Rings, a stoic and mysterious mercenary with secrets of his own. With each battle fought and each piece of intel uncovered, their trust in each other strengthens. But in typical Resistance fashion, things rarely go according to plan, sending the unlikely duo across the Outer Rim on a bold mission to end the First Order threat once and for all... Author's Note: I stayed as true to Star Wars canon and lore as possible. The two main characters, Rings and Volition, were created by me. This story focuses on character growth, engaging dialogue with some fun banter, tight action sequences, and some well known guest appearances. The tone is Star Wars PG fan fiction, so there's no swearing (does Dank farrik count?) and no excessive violence. I broke the chapters up into smaller "Episodes" to make it easier to digest. A fun and (hopefully) enjoyable read for any Star Wars fan. Your feedback is highly encouraged and greatly appreciated!Complete
