Set in an Alternate Universe, Dying Fire discusses a certain philosophy concerning the soul, and is full of suspense, action, history, and mystery. This is the first book in a collection, including two sequels and a spin-off story or two. Behind the veil of supernatural explanations and theories, lies a metaphor that I hold in high-esteem. It is about depression, and how it spreads and affects everyone. It is about hope and personality differences, as it varies from one person to another no matter the similarities we have. It is about human nature as a whole, explaining it in vague and specific ways that I hope will help people in the future, to aid them in whatever problems they face in life. In short, this is a fictional story of a metaphor that can be used as a self-help book and history reference in multiple areas.
I hope you enjoy the read :)

SOULSTUCK
In a "perfect" world where time has no meaning, a beast forged from the last bits of humanity left in the world scourges the earth. When a conformist employee of a megacorporation named Dr Fox is left to fix the mistakes of an eternity's past and break the cycle forever, an odyssey takes place in this utopian turned dystopian world. SOULSTUCK contains interpretations of serious mental conditions including generational trauma, dysmorphia, and delusions. There are also themes that may be upsetting to people with an extreme fear of being watched, amnesia, existentialism, or death. These conditions are sometimes presented in a non-explicit or allegorical manner, but might still be distressing to some readers. Ultimately, The Human Condition is a story about change.

Recalls of Surrender
Alchemy has always been a key to understanding the universe, yet it has often been dismissed as mere superstition. The truth seared through my veins like scorching heat, igniting every cell of my being with a searing, uncompromising judgment. I sacrificed everything-my strength and sense of identity-chasing after an overwhelming purpose. Duty and conviction waged a war against a primal yearning for freedom, unleashing a maelstrom of emotions that threatened to tear me apart. This internal hell fueled an insatiable, maddening lust for vengeance, obliterating my moral compass and propelling me toward utter destruction. Only when I made a final decision did the fundamental principles of morality seem to slip through my fingers like grains of sand. Each savage blow against the oppressive system left me questioning: am I a righteous crusader, or a monster consumed by hatred? The poisonous doubt gnawed at my mind, suffocating my thoughts with insidious whispers. Yet, I found the strength to silence them. With fierce determination burning in my veins, I vowed to break free from the chains of oppression or die trying. Fear would not hold me captive any longer. As I teetered on the edge of life and death, I couldn't help but wonder: would I emerge victorious or succumb to the relentless wheels of fate? The answer lies shrouded in the mists of an uncertain future, but one thing is irrefutable: win or lose, every decision will ignite an inferno of change. This cataclysmic revolution will raze the old world and herald the birth of a new era. In this cosmic roulette, even the most steadfast warriors can turn to dust in the blink of an eye. Therefore, are you willing to participate? Given that there always was, is, and will be war. Hope stands stronger than fear, yet anything is possible when darkness lingers. It is the deflection of accountability and guilt. Yet when all seems lost, trust that the butterfly knows where the water flows.

MYTHIC LEGENDS: FLAME AND EMPIRE
The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥
