The gods rule from the sky. From radiant thrones above the capital, the Pantheon governs kingdoms, crowns emperors, and decides who lives and who burns. Their power is sustained by faith. Their authority is law. Their immortality is unquestioned. Riven Ashmore once stood among them. He was the Lesser God of Shadow and Forgotten Truths — a quiet deity who ruled over what light could not erase. Secrets. Buried history. The hidden fractures beneath divine order. And he discovered the truth. The gods were never eternal. They were once human. And their divinity was stolen through a forbidden ritual that chained something ancient beneath the world. For daring to speak it, Riven was condemned and executed before heaven and earth — erased in golden chains as the Pantheon declared him a traitor. But death did not accept him. Reborn as a powerless human in the slums of the very capital that witnessed his fall, Riven awakens with only a fractured remnant of his former authority: Shadow. Not mere darkness. But the truth that exists because light does. Now hunted by divine knights and watched by the gods who fear what he knows, Riven must rebuild from nothing — devouring broken fragments of fading divinity, cultivating faith in secret, and turning doubt into a weapon. As belief begins to fracture and heaven starts to rot from within, the Pantheon will learn what they tried to destroy: Even gods cast shadows. And shadows remember.

Ashe has always believed his ability to see ghosts was a curse—an unwanted side effect of standing too close to death for too long. From childhood onward, spirits followed him, whispered to him, and sometimes screamed his name in voices only he could hear. Ignoring them became a survival instinct. What Ashe doesn’t know is that something else has been watching from inside him.

What was supposed to be a routine raid for Corvus Ashford—Vice-Captain of an elite mercenary unit—becomes an epoch-changing event when he captures a War Architect of the continent's greatest power: the Velmoria Imperium. Elsewhere, two sisters flee from a life where survival itself is an act of rebellion. When their paths collide, Corvus learns the value of life. The sisters learn the price of it. Come witness how empires rise and shatter. And what lurks within them... and beyond.. What to expect: Epic Scale: The first of four planned novels (Change, Loss, Conquest, Stygian).

It is a fantasy meant to be read by a fireplace on a quiet night, amid the whispers of your own thoughts. A story meant to be savored, not binged.

Elio was an average person. Below average, even. He had no redeeming qualities, living alone in a small apartment in the city. He struggled to find money to survive and live his high school life. He was a loner with no friends, and the reason for that was... He believed that there were monsters who had the appearance of humans living amongst them, and those monsters killed humans and ate them. Unbeknownst to him, on the evening of a full-moon night, his life will change completely, and he will discover something about himself that he never realized before. That secret will make him the target of extremely strong individuals, ones who would do anything to take him. Even if that meant marrying him.

As dreams turn into warnings, hidden cameras watch his every move, and a world-ending weapon project begins to unfold, Mumin must decide: Is Musa his curse? Or is Musa the only way to survive? A dark psychological thriller about faith, madness, surveillance, and the thin line between illness and power.

When Demons climb out of the Abyss, wearing human skin, and walk among you and me— Power is never free. Its price can be quantified. Paid in memories. In flesh. In sanity. What will you give? How much will you pay? When the Blood Moon rises twice over the earth, Demons are born from human madness. Raphael was once the youngest agent of the Southern Federation. He was betrayed, hunted, and left to die by the D-Fraternity. But he did not die. He returned from hell after trading his memories and body. Signing a contract with Demons in exchange for power. Now, this city will be his hunting ground. And he swore— to send Demons back to hell.

Magic is not a miracle. It is a language, and the world is failing its literacy test. I woke up naked in a freezing basement, surrounded by twelve fanatics and a rift bleeding black smoke. The "Order of the Severed Tongue" had performed a forbidden ritual to summon a demon. Instead, they pulled me out. They think they summoned a Prince of the Abyss. But in truth I’m just a scholar with three years of missing memories and a body so frail that speaking a single spell makes me bleed. I had no magic, no grimoire, and no legions. But the demon they summoned took one look at me, screamed in absolute horror, and fled back to hell. Now, the cult thinks I am a God in human skin. If I tell them the truth, their rusted vibro-knives will carve me apart. If I slip up, the Church Inquisitors upstairs will find me, and they will burn me as a heretic. If I stop acting for a single second, I die. My only weapon is a terrifying "Itch" in my brain that demands arrogance and a fluency in a Dead Language that turns reality into wet clay. I must fake godhood, rewrite the laws of physics with a perfect precision, and lead a cult of madmen through a neon-gothic dystopia. I am not the God they wanted, but I must become it. The history books say the Creator spoke the Universe into existence. They are wrong. The Creator screamed. And I am the only one listening.

Chosen by the gods, they gain Devine Blessings: access to a System to help them grow stronger and are sent on Divine Expeditions to save dying civilizations or carry out "Devine Justice" in a distant world. They return as heroes, stronger each time. Ronan is different. Blessed by a sealed god, he wields a forbidden power: he absorbs the strength of anything he kills. As he rises through the ranks and battles monsters, rivals, and divine forces, disturbing truths begin to surface. Regions once saved fall again. The System grows more controlling. And Corrupted Beings of forgotten Timeliness Arise. Ronan begins to question Are the gods truly Helping these Civilizations... or using them? In a world guided by Devine Will, strength is only the beginning.

The planet Neire is cursed, and a malevolent corruption is spread throughout the lands. Dark horrors reside around every corner, and safety is a concept of tales and legends.

Greed, deception, and war marked the end of the Valeriya Empire. Hundreds of years later, Nero is born into a nation of warriors, in an age cracking beneath an unseen weight.
