- COMPLETED - Book 1: When The World Died (The Beginning Of The End) The world didn't end with a bang. It rotted. One second, everything was normal. The next-everything collapsed. Death came fast. What followed came faster. The dead didn't stay dead. They kept moving. And they didn't stop. December Hayes was never meant to survive a world like this-soft, untrained, unprepared. But survival doesn't care who you used to be. It strips you down and forces you to become something else. Saved by a stranger who trusts no one and trained like a weapon just to stay alive, December is thrown into a reality where hesitation gets you killed-and mercy can be more brutal than death. Because out there, the infected aren't the only monsters. And sometimes, the most dangerous thing in the world... is still human. --- © All Rights Reserved 2026

Adventuring has never come easily to Nihil. As a celestial-born aasimar raised in a temple dedicated to nine death gods, he was raised to believe the Nine would call on him for a great purpose. When he is sent on a pilgrimage across the Material Plane, he finds his gods silent to his prayers. As other entities vie for his attention, his journey is upended by revelations and a tumble into the Abyss, the home of demons. Stuck in the Outer Planes, Nihil gathers a party of unusual allies as they spiral their way through dangerous realms, pursued by the ghosts of Nihil's past, present, and future. ********* DISCLAIMER: Though I as the writer want this to appeal to more fantasy/scifi readers than just D&D fans, the story piggybacks heavily on official D&D lore from all corners of the D&D multiverse. While Nihil is an original character and I take liberties with some worldbuilding, the worlds are not mine, nor are some of the names and faces that pop up throughout.
