A money obsessed young man toils away secretly in the dungeons beneath his home. A widely known eccentric of the city he lives in, various powers tip-toe around him out of respect and fear.
"Try to rob me? I'll make you into experimental materials."
"When I'm done? Death would be a luxury."
"You work for nobility? So what?"
"Scream all you want. No one can hear you."
The would-be necromancer will find a treasure trove of the oldest, darkest sect the continent had ever known. He will rise to prominence and even the heavens will shake upon his ascension. That is, if he can get passed his obsession with money, an idiotic death knight, and an infatuation with his crow familiar bordering on deviant.
*Title Subject to Change when I have thought of something better*
*Some parts will be slightly graphic. Think PG-13'ish*
*This protagonist is not the noble goodie-two-shoes*
(Title Tentative and Most likely to be changed multiple times before I am satisfied)

Jaws Of Fury
The temper of a demon and the strength to match. Those words best describe young Brute. Brute has no memory of his past and almost no feelings but anger. But now at the age of 19 he knows one thing- If you're good at something, never do it for free. After spending the majority of his life being trained in the art of destruction, Brute now sells his skills as a hired gun. Taking contracts from anyone who he knows will pay good, Brute takes his anger out on his targets, be it drug dealers, abusive family members, corrupt politicians and everything in between. Life is good for young Brute until one contract goes awry. After arriving at the designated location, Brute is abducted and experimented on. Once the experiments are complete, Brute begins to notice things. At will, he can transform himself into a truly nightmarish creature: A humanoid lizard with more than double the strength, speed and numerous other powers that were once thought to be found within the pages of a comic book. Now contracts are easier than ever! Until he notices a gangster change into some sort of mutant like him! Now Brute must find and kill the creators of these mutants before they unleash a whole army upon the city of Edmonton!Complete
The Path of the Adventurer
Here is an epic fantasy story set in my D&D world that I wrote not only for fans of RPGs and fantasy in general, but for all my friends. This story about my character Erion, a young elven warrior; and his many allies and enemies in the kingdom of Briarbeth. In this vast story, you'll meet daring heroes, joy-bringing mages, ruthless orcs and more. This novel has a multitude of inspirations and influences, chief among them being Dungeons and Dragons, The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit, and The Legend of Zelda. I even take cues from anime such as Little Witch Academia, and favorite video games like Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and various JRPGs like Chrono Trigger. Look closely, and you may find subtle references to some of the aforementioned franchises at different points in the book :) Just a little warning: The story, especially the first couple of chapters, starts off with a several common fantasy tropes and clichés at first glance (e.g. elves and orcs, an old wizard with a pointy hat and a grey beard, taking treasure from dragon etc.), but it will grow into something a bit more unique as the story progresses. Please forgive my usage of Tolkienesque tropes, as I came up with the concept of the series when I was only fourteen (At the time I was making it in the style of old school fantasy, so what can you expect :p). Even I, as the creator will say it is cliched or stereotypical in some aspects. I only refuse to change them due to spending a lot of time with them during my high school years (And tbh i love elves/dwarves/orcs fantasy). With that aside, I hope that you will love my fantasy universe full of adventure and lore. Now sit back, relax, and embrace yourself for a magical adventure with Erion and his friends! Listened to Twilight Force, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, Power Quest, and various other power metal bands while I was writing this :) (Character drawings found at the end of the story)Complete
My Silver-Haired Demon
A man with a seriously messed up life and a load of mental problems made a lot of mistakes in his life but one stands above the rest. The story is about one man with a broken mind doing everything he can to try and make up for the wrong he did and find the woman he loves. This story is very intense and isn't for light reading. I think of the story like this: This isn't the story of a hero slaying a dragon and rescuing the princess. Nor is this a story about a hero who triumphs over evil and rescues the maiden in peril. This is the story of a man, who fights as much with himself, as he does the world around him. He is no hero, he is simply a man, trying to make the best he can of himself, and fix what he broke. He is both the protagonist, and antagonist of this story, because he does as much harm to himself as he does good.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

I became a villainess loved by all
Everyone loved the "pure and perfect" heroine-except me. I was just a reader who got sick of watching the tragic villainess twin be humiliated, heartbroken, and killed for daring to want love. So, I tossed the book in the trash... and woke up as her. With a sassy system, twisted fate, and a burning grudge, I'm done playing the role of the jealous loser. Now? The villain chases after me like a man starved. The male lead can't stop falling in love. And the heroine? She's not so beloved anymore. I'll rewrite this story-and this time, the villainess gets everything. Watch out, world. I'm not here to survive. I'm here SLAYComplete
