What would you do for immortality?
Any alchemist would answer the same. Anything. When they finally capture the siren whose blood holds the key to their eternity, the alchemists have no inhibitions about using force to get her to willingly part with it.
After centuries of evading the alchemists, Roseza finds herself waking up in a cell and is forced to endure mental and physical torture under her captors as she tries to find a way to escape before breaking. But, the longer she stays there, the more the alchemists begin to make Roseza question herself and who she's protecting. The longer she's there the longer Roseza wonders...
Even if she is rescued, can she ever go back?
Callum Marx is contacted for the first time by his father, Hades, to find his missing siren and rescue her from the alchemists before she cracks under them and allows the alchemists to rampage through the underworld. Unable to seek aid or advice from anyone, Callum must stand alone on his quest to find the nameless siren before it's too late.
No god or mortal is to be trusted.
Blood and Ichor will spill.

Immortal's Curse
How can one explain an immortal that does not have a reason to live? Austin Hanford has been alive for almost as long as humans have existed, and he has seen pretty much everything. Nothing occupies his days much except for books, music, and surfing the Internet. He is up to date on the latest trends and more valuable than Google in terms of information--he has it all! But what is it worth when there is no point to it? One day, his life changes, when he meets Ellie. She's cute and she's sweet, but he's not the only one that wants her. Other immortals--and not-so-pleasant creatures--want her, too, though not for the same reason as he. Determined to protect her, he goes out of his way to watch out for her. It gets increasingly difficult as the size of their opposition grows. There is one way to save her--passing on his immortality to her. It would give her eternal life, both a blessing and a curse, but it would also take Austin's life. Has Austin found love he is willing to die for?Complete
Underground Angels
After seventeen years of not quite fitting in, everything is about to change for Noel. With monsters, gods, cars and impromptu prophecies, this is the first time Noel is getting a taste of life - and maybe a little romance. Just a bit. A two part adventure of a seventeen year old seer, thrown into a new world that she has always been on the cusp of. Cover by Lovingmng - thanks so much, it's beautiful! {Just because I think I need to make it really clear -- this IS NOT a Percy Jackson fanfiction. I thought of this idea around 8 years ago, before I read Percy Jackson and I had had a class on Greek Myths and Cassandra the seer. However I also am a great lover of the Percy Jackson series. Any similarities are a coincidence of my own mind making connections to a book series I haven't read in around 3 years. So sorry if there's been any confusion, I didn't mean for there to be. I hope you enjoy the book.}Complete
Hades
They say gut feelings are your guardian angels, Ella Thomas will soon find out that hers was leading her to something she could never imagine existed. Hades has watched over Ella since the day she was born, he was her guardian angel from the depths of the underworld. For centuries he's waited, waited for someone to love. He vowed to himself to protect Ella and only watch from afar. She was so innocent and so human, he couldn't take that away from her. For 20 years he kept his promise, for 20 long and grueling years he watched from afar, until something happens, something that Hades can't ignore. He makes a hasty decision and leaves the underworld, heading to Earth where he knows she will be. But there's a catch, the very person, or should I say God, that Hades despises the most will stop at nothing to destroy his happiness, even if it means killing someone so harmless and oh so very fragile. ....... "How do I look?" He muttered, stepping out of the bathroom. The room seemed increasingly smaller with his large stature in it. I nearly gasped, why did he have to look so good in those grey sweats? I swallowed, trying to act unaffected by his beauty, "Convincingly human." ....... 1st in Love - 13 June 2021 4th in Romance - 13 June 2021 1st in Gods - 13 June 2021 1st in Dark - 30 September 2021 4th in Darkness - 30 May 2022Complete
Obsession Unveiled
Damien, an average and unassuming student, walked the halls of his school like a ghost-present, but invisible. He wasn't the top of the class, nor the bottom. He didn't draw attention, and he liked it that way. Blending in gave him space. Space to watch. Space to observe. Because while the world barely noticed Damien, he noticed her. Annette. She was the only ripple in the still water of his quiet life. There was something about her-something undeniable. She was elegance wrapped in confidence, untouchable but painfully real. And to Damien, she was more than a girl. She was an obsession. A purpose. Around others, Damien maintained the perfect illusion. Calm. Collected. Just another face in the crowd. But when it came to Annette, that illusion cracked. His quiet demeanor masked something darker-something sharp. Possessive. Dominant. It wasn't just that he liked her. It wasn't even that he wanted her. He needed her. As if the universe had carved her from the very core of what he lacked. He watched her like a predator stalks prey-not out of malice, but with a deep, feral instinct to claim. He noticed everything. The rhythm of her footsteps. The tilt of her head when she was lost in thought. Every person she talked to, smiled at, laughed with. And deep inside, something twisted every time she gave her attention to anyone who wasn't him. No one suspected. How could they? Damien was forgettable by design. But behind that forgettable smile was a mind carefully weaving a future where Annette belonged to him-wholly, unquestioningly. In his thoughts, there was no version of her life that didn't revolve around him. Every passing day without her acknowledgment was a glitch in the reality he was building. He didn't just want to be close to her. He wanted to own her heart. Her mind. Her choices. Not in a way she would resist-but in a way she'd learn to love. He'd make sure of it. After all, love was just another form of control when done right.Complete

"They are not worthy, they are cattle, these new humans you covet. The so-called creator has betrayed you, replaced you with these organic imitations. Slaughter them all." It's funny, not in a ha-ha funny way, but a sad, my madness doesn't make sense type of way, Jack thinks, because wasn't he human? Worse still, the voice comes with impulses that are hard to resist. Violence usually ensues. That's why he joined the military. A way to channel his urges into mind-numbing physical effort and war. It works for a time. But alcohol and fighting can only carry on for so long. Finally, he realizes, his only way out is suicide. But when he opens his eyes, he's in the In-Between. The creator has other plans for him, and she won't take no for an answer. Apparently, this isn't his first life and if he doesn't free her from her prison, it won't be his last. His curse is to be reborn without end, without rest, without memory. Only madness. Now Jack is on the run from forces he doesn't understand. It's a new world. The mundane replaced by ethereal artificial intelligence, spontaneous virtual realities, and homicidal bible salesmen. But the creator promises the demon's voice will disappear as soon as he finds the right girl, the right bond. After that, they just have to escape the clutches of those who hunt them, find the Isle of Song, and free the creator from her prison. Or maybe this time, in this life, Jack will figure out what true freedom is. Come along on this action-packed thriller as Jack fights to remember who he is, tries to end an eternal war, and atone for sins he doesn't remember...yet.Complete

Rise of the ancient god: Reborn of chaos.
The God of Chaos was feared and worshiped in equal measure-a being of boundless destruction who stood alone against the apocalyptic invaders from another universe. But even gods fall. Betrayed and torn apart, he met his end in a war he could not win. Yet death was not the end. Reincarnated as Carson, a powerless boy in a world where humanity evolves beyond its limits, he is nothing but a fragile existence, mocked and discarded. No strength, no abilities-just a weak body destined to be crushed under the weight of a merciless world. Then came the spider. Venom burned through his veins, dragging him toward oblivion. As the last flicker of life began to fade, a voice-cold and divine-whispered into the void: [Ding!] [Congratulations. You have been chosen as the inheritor of the previous master's legacy.] [Will you accept? (Yes/No)] With that choice, the abyss awakened within him. The power of an ancient god stirs once more, but it is twisted, corrupted hungering for vengeance. The world that cast him aside will soon remember the name they tried to erase. And this time, chaos will reign. ----- (A/N: If you notice any errors, broken contents while reading please let me know, I'll go back and make the necessary corrections.) (Disclaimer: This world is pure fantasy and has no relations to reality! If you see cities and countries that are similar to those of real life it is purely coincidence.)
