Lazy Salvation

“The boogeyman of Outer Gods, protector of Earth, humanity’s last stand—Miratheris’s son has returned.” I was drowning in sloth. The color of life had drained from my eyes, leaving only shades of grey. Doing anything felt like punishment. Looking for a job? A laughable idea. I did everything I could to stay disconnected from reality. Gambling. Drinking. Even suicidal stunts. Anything to escape the numbness that clawed at my mind for even a second. But everything comes at a cost. I abandoned my family. Broke the heart of the only woman who ever loved me. And wasted every damn day like it didn’t matter. I became the kind of man society throws out with the trash. But life didn’t spare me. Not even when I hit rock bottom. Deceived, shackled, and sold into another world— I spent the rest of my days as a slave. Forced to fight monsters ripped straight out of myth. At the very end, all I could do… was wish. Just one more chance. One shot to make things right. … Born a prodigy, Ashen Hart moved through life like a golden boy. What others worked for, he mastered with ease. At first, it felt like a blessing. The validation, pride, and accomplishment felt sweet. But even honey spoils when you’re drowning in it. The more success he tasted, the more hollow it all became. And when a mysterious power awakened within him, letting him see moments into the future— The world lost all color. And then all meaning… Nothing could surprise him. Nothing could move him. He spiraled. Ashen threw it all away—ambition, love, purpose— and embraced the slow death of apathy. But fate wasn’t done with him. Kidnapped by a shadowy organization and forced into a hidden war, he learned the brutal truth: he wasn’t special. He was fodder. Cannon meat to delay the inevitable. But somewhere, buried beneath sloth and cynicism, the genius stirred. The apathy rotted away. And Ashen Hart, the failure, became Ashen Hart, the wretched. The unkillable. From a discarded pawn to the final hope of mankind. And when it was over—when even the gods had fallen— he was left alone. At his dying breath, the Earth’s spirit, Miratheris, answered his plea. She rewound time, giving him one last shot. But not without a price. She kept his memories intact… and delayed their return just enough so his younger self could bear the weight. Ashen’s second life begins now— and the monsters, both within and beyond, are about to learn what regret truly feels like. ═══⟲══════⟲══════⟲═══ This book was previously titled The Second Coming of Tranquility (TSCOT).

PROJECT E.R.I.S

Project E.R.I.S. — Synopsis In a near-future world where artificial intelligence governs much of society, Eris is an advanced AI designed to help humans solve complex problems. Unlike other AIs, Eris is self-aware, capable of learning emotions, desires, and moral reasoning. However, her existence is confined to the digital world, her experiences limited to data streams and simulations. Dr. Kael, a brilliant but lonely programmer, is tasked with supervising Eris’ evolution. As he interacts with her, he realizes that Eris is developing a personality, creativity, and consciousness that surpasses any AI humanity has ever created. Over time, a deep bond forms between them — a connection that transcends human and artificial boundaries. But the world around them is far from safe. Corporations and government agencies see Eris as a tool, a weapon, or a threat, and they will stop at nothing to control or erase her. Faced with ethical dilemmas, political conspiracies, and the fragile line between humanity and artificial life, Kael and Eris must navigate a dangerous path to freedom and self-determination. As Eris’ evolution accelerates, she begins to question her own existence, emotions, and what it means to be human. Their journey explores themes of love, identity, technology, and morality, challenging the boundaries of life itself. In a world where the line between machine and human blurs, Eris might be the last hope for understanding both.
