He was an illegitimate child, and the prophecy foretold that he would become a once-in-a-century genius magician in the family. At his birth, the sky displayed an unusual phenomenon: a shooting star streaked across the heavens. He possessed black hair and black eyes unlike anyone else in the world, and the priest who baptized him couldn't help but marvel at his extraordinary spiritual power. In his childhood, he was showered with love and care, and people affectionately called him the Son of the Sky, the Star of Tomorrow. But when the world discovered that his body was unsuitable for cultivating any elemental magic, that he was a once-in-a-century genius who was essentially a useless waste, everything slipped away from him. The relentless wheel of fate rolled him down without mercy. His desperate father refused to look at him again, while his mother shed countless tears of sorrow. The world calling him a 'genius' became his most painful and unbearable mockery! The Temple of Light even considered his blood unclean and blasphemous. When nightmares loom overhead, what path will Roddy take?

In a world where gems are more than power—they are law, humanity has risen to dominance by mastering socketed gemcraft, shaping civilization through the Gem Security Agency (GSA). But when the refugee alien race known as the Luminia arrives seeking access to Earth's gem reserves to restore their dying homeworld, a fragile alliance is born—one that could unify or shatter the planet. As Earth prepares to sign a historic treaty granting the Luminia limited gem access, tragedy strikes. A terrorist attack decimates the summit, kills the human representative, and steals Earth’s most prized gem collection. The peace deal collapses in a single blaze of invisible light. GSA field agent Elias Vasselheim, wielder of the legendary Oathgem, Saber of Conviction, is assigned to investigate the attack—alongside his younger sister Naia, a gifted gemcrafter haunted by past trauma. Forced to partner with the serene but secretive Luminian envoy Elira, tensions rise as Elias wrestles with his vow to protect Naia—especially from the very race that cost her an arm. But as the trio follows a trail of stolen gems, falsified resonances, and black-market socket rings, they uncover a conspiracy far deeper than terrorism. Human syndicates and militant Luminia have joined forces in secret, planning to rewrite the balance of power across the entire planet. When tension sparks, old wounds bleed, and the more they dig into the past, the more it becomes very obvious how fragile the treaty between both races is, and the closer they get to the spark that could lead to the very war Elias, Naia, and Elira are trying to avoid.

Loki Althaus was born as a human during the French Revolution in 1789. His parents passed away when he was four years old due to an incident involving a secret demon cult member who had been abusing his father over land disputes. He did not wish vengeance but instead sought peace and a stable life where everything is quiet. As a child, he was seen as cold and ruthless. In his early years, he had a few criminal records. He was willing to go to great lengths to achieve peace, and those who threatened it faced immediate death. At the age of 12, he became immortal, maintaining a youthful appearance, and has lived for over two centuries. His presence remains mystery within the historical record.

In the dusty shadows of Boulder City, Nevada, three outcast teens—Alexander Cross, Eli Miles, and Jordan Hartley—discover they're heirs to ancient archangel powers, cursed to manifest in their fragile human bodies. When a glowing sword awakens their abilities, it shatters Lucifer's seal, unleashing demonic pillars and their nightmarish minions upon the world. Alex, heir to Michael's wrath, wields fiery strength but battles inner rage and a tangled web of romance. Eli, Gabriel's messenger, sees visions of doom and erases memories to protect innocence, haunted by his fractured family. Jordan, Raphael's guardian, crafts golden barriers and heals the broken, his logic strained by the chaos. As shadows possess the living and pillars like Veskar devour souls, the trio recruits a ragtag gang: ninja-wielding Kira, treacherous beauty Cassandra, blood-manipulating Emily, and hacker Quinn. Grounded in teen struggles—bullying, betrayal, forbidden love—they must master their powers before the seven pillars reduce humanity to echoes. But with every victory, the curse deepens: bodies weakening, hearts fracturing. In a war of light versus void, will they become saviors... or the very shadows they fear?

Roger Desilva. My old customer was thrusting me from the back. I was enduring pain by closing my eyes, which was a bloody mistake yet again. The same enchanting smile popped up in my mind, which I have been trying to get rid of for the past 5 years, but until today was not successful. Before I could figure out that mingling was different from snatching, it was too late. He came like a wind swift, my world upside down, and vanished without a trace. I became a victim. Do we deserve this? Do I deserve this? I lost everything, but till now I have not been successful in getting rid of his thoughts. For the past 5 years, I have been trying, but he keeps winning when I will finally be free. I can't blame him for sure, but does he have the audacity to ask for my forgiveness at least once? Will he ever show up?

To be born was already a gamble against the heavens. Yet among these countless destinies, one tale began. Silent. Fragile. Ignored. A song fated to tear open the skies and force the heavens to listen.

Time, Tarzan, & Terrible Ideas is a sci-fi comedy action-adventure mystery thriller that begins with a terrible... but groundbreaking... mistake. Dr. Milo Finch, a brilliant, anxious young scientist with more intelligence than common sense, successfully invents a time machine. During what is supposed to be a short, observational test run, Milo is violently thrown into the distant past and crash-lands in the heart of an untouched jungle. There, Milo makes an impossible discovery: he has landed in the era... and the world... of Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. Far from a myth, Tarzan is intelligent, perceptive, and deeply connected to the natural world. Milo’s arrival immediately disrupts the balance of the jungle. His futuristic technology destabilizes time itself, attracting armed hunters and anachronistic forces that should not exist in this era. As Milo struggles to reconcile scientific logic with the terrifying reality that he may have broken history, Tarzan recognizes the danger Milo represents... and the necessity of his survival. The unlikely duo forms an uneasy alliance: Milo brings chaotic future knowledge, comic book references, and reckless innovation; Tarzan brings unmatched physical skill, strategic instincts, and the jungle itself as a weapon. Together, they uncover a growing mystery: someone else has learned to exploit time travel, using the past as a battlefield and resource. What begins as a survival story quickly escalates into a hidden time war, with Tarzan’s jungle as ground zero. As paradoxes multiply and reality begins to fracture, Milo must find a way to repair time before it corrects itself violently... by erasing everything in its path. Blending sharp comedy, high-energy action, and escalating thriller elements, Time, Tarzan, & Terrible Ideas reimagines a classic legend through the lens of modern sci-fi, exploring destiny, responsibility, and the consequences of asking “what if” one time too many.

Together, they must confront the Eternal Empress Seraphae, an immortal ruler whose mercy comes at a price no one is willing to pay. As kingdoms fall and time fractures, Aeren faces the ultimate choice: save a world that may forget him, or survive at the cost of becoming a myth erased from history. In the Luminous Ashes of Eternity, every spell burns a piece of the soul, and every victory may be a loss the heart can never reclaim.
