Ren Smith has spent his life being ignored, mocked, and managed by people who barely see him as human. At home, he sleeps in the basement of a house that does not feel like his. His stepmother treats him like an obligation. His stepsister turns cruelty into casual entertainment. At work, his boss grinds him down under rules, corrections, and quiet humiliation. Then Ren finds something hidden beneath the floor of the café basement. A Victorian grimoire. Inside are formulas written in blood and science - recipes that do not summon demons or cast fire, but do something far more intimate: they bend human will. A cordial that makes refusal exhausting. A brew that clouds memory. A tonic that sharpens the brewer while stealing years from his life. At first, Ren tells himself he only wants justice. A little control. A little relief. A way to make the people who hurt him finally listen. But obedience is addictive. One by one, the people around him begin to change. His stepmother softens. His stepsister becomes careful. His boss learns fear. His neighbor's kindness is twisted into devotion. Every relationship becomes a system. Every weakness becomes an opening. And the worst part is this: They know something is wrong. They feel themselves yielding. They just cannot stop. As Ren trades blood, time, and pieces of his future for power, he stops trying to escape the world that crushed him. Instead, he rebuilds it around himself - quieter, cleaner, obedient. But the grimoire is not just a tool. It is watching. And Ren may not be its master at all. (The Alchemy of Thirst is a dark psychological fantasy about control, consent, revenge, and the terrifying moment when a victim becomes the architect of someone else's cage.)

His best friend Miles is now stuck dealing with Portland's magical underbelly. Soul harvesting cults, hipster necromancers, vape shop warlocks, and a growing glitch in reality that's swallowing ghosts like corrupted save files. He might be dead, but the game isn't over.

New Orleans, Louisiana. October 2005. The Jetson Youth Correctional Center has a massive overcrowding problem-or rather, it had one, before Hurricane Katrina tore across the coast. In the aftermath, the state quietly initiated the Arcane Delinquent Rehabilitation Initiative (ADRI), a high-stakes, off-the-books juvenile program where delinquents could earn their freedom through the brutal slaughter of supernatural threats. For every monster neutralized across the sweltering Louisiana bayou, the state chipped away at the kids' sentences. Take these three teenage convicts, for example: Thea Korshidi, a seventeen-year-old part-time demon slayer with a rap sheet she's desperate to clear. Remy Salazar, an eighteen-year-old half-demon hybrid who finds human bureaucracy more exhausting than the dead. Prue Beaumont, a compassionate seventeen-year-old witch whose quiet demeanor masks a dangerous, heavy past. Under the strict supervision of ADRI, they attempt to navigate a lawless, flooded world. But after a routine assignment in the higher ground goes spectacularly wrong, their handler dumps the trio at Hemlock Ridge-a rugged, isolated campsite deep in the cypress trees currently serving as an emergency facility for displaced youth. Their mandatory assignment? Turn a pack of foul-mouthed preteen delinquents into ruthless, baseline monster hunters. What should be a straightforward way to keep a low profile quickly spirals into a gothic nightmare. The camp manager is a total asshole, the cabins reek of old mold, and the campers are unpredictable to the point of exhaustion. But when the trio stumbles across a shallow graveyard hidden deep in the woods, they are forced to navigate a labyrinth of rusted cabins and half-whispered threats to unearth the truth. Make no mistake - they aren't looking to play heroes or clean up messes. But if exposing Hemlock Ridge's dark secrets is the only way to earn a clean slate, then so be it.

Seeking a cure for her cancer, a dying woman sells her soul to Hell - only to find herself entangled in a millennia-old prophecy that threatens the stability of the infernal empire itself. The first book in the HORDE series, Annunciation, is a dark romantasy set within the Sixth Court of Hell, where power is inherited, desire is weaponized, and survival depends on understanding cosmological rules that were never meant to be grasped by mere mortals in the first place. Bound to survive two years in this infernal kingdom, Aurora is thrown into a hostile world governed by ancient laws, shifting demonic hierarchies, and something far worse lurking beyond the borders of the court: the Horde, a monstrous force capable of consuming demons and humans alike. Hell is not eternal punishment. It is a functioning civilization built on contracts and rituals designed to contain the Horde. But something is wrong. Demons are disappearing. The Horde is growing stronger. The balance that holds Hell together is beginning to fail - and Aurora soon learns that surviving Hell means giving up something far more essential than her 'soul': her sense of self.

A street gangster named Jack stumbles upon something that transcends reality. Has his guns became useless? That alleyway changed his life forever. A reality bender that touches upon aliens, different realities, and the secret occult

A Okarun x Momo fanfic (With some crossovers, of course) !Major Spoilers for anime-only fans! !Weekly Updates: Normal at Sunday 17:30 WIB Otherwise stated by author! Synopsis: After Momo and Okarun's battle against the Evil Eye and the Mongolian Death Worm, Jiji is welcomed (along with the Evil Eye) into the growing Family. What would happen when the growing prospect of an Alien Invasion comes into play? Will Momo and Okarun's friendship prevail? Or will they all disappear, never to be seen ever again? I want to make a good Momokarun book that the fans can finally enjoy, not those Momo/Okarun/DanDaDan x Reader type stuff that I see 80% of the time. Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or places except for my OC in which she would be Okarun's twin sister. She has that Harry Potter type wand and can fly (why do all my OCs fly, idk anymore). Her wings disguise as a thin (and when I say thin, I mean like really thin) white scarf (both tails to the back) when not in use. If you hate this ship, man why ru reading? Don't blame me for making it a ship you hate. Blame yourself for reading it despite my warning.

Everyone at Saint Orpheus University agrees on three things: 1. Elias Mercer is dead. 2. Elias Mercer was murdered. 3. Elias Mercer is currently attending lectures. The administration insists this is not a contradiction. Wendy Gazab thought the Evil School of Evil was bad enough. Then she got transferred to a university where death is treated like a paperwork dispute, reality changes by committee vote, and the murder investigation keeps getting revised retroactively. Now Wendy and the dangerously intelligent Francesco are trapped inside an institution that can edit truth faster than detectives can uncover it. Every clue rewrites the crime. Every witness remembers a different version. And somewhere deep beneath Saint Orpheus, something is feeding on consensus itself. Murder mysteries are supposed to end when you find the killer. This one starts there.
