A sweeping military sci-fi fantasy saga set on the solar-system-sized planet Deccounia. Tenrihines stands as the heart of the Galactic Empire, the last shield against the demons that once bled the galaxy dry. It has been twenty years since the Third Great War, a conflict so devastating that its final battlefield remains untouched, a wound carved into the planet itself. The Empire is young and fragile, founded less than a century ago by the First Great, Musana, to unite the worlds against the underworld’s ancient horrors. Its greatest defenders are the warriors of the Special Task Force, Kia-powered soldiers whose strength, speed, and will have carried entire civilizations through the Great Wars. Within the STF rise legends whose names shape history: Morgot the Lion General, undefeated in battle. Optimus, the steadfast commander who returned to war despite his wounds. Ian, the empire’s ruthless strategist forged in the shadows of the Underground. Blade, the lightning-fast warrior whose precision splits mountains. For two decades, peace has endured. But peace never lasts. Portals begin to stir. Whispers of a forgotten evil spread across the planets. And the darkness defeated in the Third Great War… begins to rise again. This is the story of the warriors who will face it. The Greats who will be forged. And the war that will decide the fate of Deccounia.

The world did not end in fire. It rotted. Civilization collapsed overnight. Cities fell, demons descended, the dead began walking - not mindlessly, but under a growing, forced will. Vincent, an ordinary man drowning in debt, clung to fragile hope. Then, hell arrived - he became something worse than a victim. A mysterious zombie virus descended, but Vincent did not turn. He awakened as a carrier. He became the first infected - a Progenitor. Every life claimed by the virus strengthens him...and stains his soul. He walks a razor's edge between savior and catastrophe. Survival is sin and requires everything. Venturing into ruins, facing demons, and making impossible choices - there is no good choice. No gain. No winning or losing. No choosing the good. Only choosing the lesser evil. Meanwhile, trust fractures. Humanity's last forces are not as united as they appear. Ghosts of the past hunt them. False grief hides calculated malice. While they battle demons, something far more terrifying has already infiltrated among them. Factions rise, hidden powers awaken. One question looms over the ruins of the world. Can a man who commands the dead still save the living - or will he become the very end he fears? Hopes are fading. The role of humanity seems insignificant. And the end? Certain. In the shadows, unknown forces are at bay. Bound by the universal rules at the moment, restrained. But time is ticking. The day draws near. What fate awaits humanity and the world once the chains break and the mysterious forces can act freely?

Adesuwa arrives in Lagos with one dream—to master bridal tailoring and return home as a celebrated designer. When she’s accepted into HoneyWhite Bridal House, a prestigious fashion training center known for producing “perfect brides,” it feels like destiny finally smiling on her. But beneath the gold-lettered sign and immaculate glass doors lies a darker curriculum. The girls aren’t trained in wedding gowns alone—but in seduction, silence, and obedience. Promises of international opportunities whisper through the halls, contracts remain vague, and questions are discouraged. Efe, a senior intern with secrets etched into her eyes, knows the truth. As Adesuwa’s skills sharpen, so does her fear. What begins as a dream of lace and elegance slowly unravels into a nightmare of control, exploitation, and stolen futures. And when travel offers start coming without papers—or return dates—Adesuwa must decide how far she’s willing to go to escape a house that doesn’t teach brides… …but prepares girls for sale. In a world where dreams are wrapped in white and danger hides behind beauty, survival may cost more than talent. Because not every bridal house prepares you for marriage—some prepare you for disappearance.

What would happen if the sun suddenly disappeared? A world once bathed in light was plunged into an everlasting night. No one knew the truth behind the sun’s disappearance. Some claimed the sun had died, its light extinguished forever. Others believed it had committed a grave sin and was punished by the gods. But the most popular and widely believed legend told a darker story. It was said that an eternal black dragon had devoured the sun and now lay dormant atop a mountain at the center of the continent. That mountain was known as Unseen Peak. It earned its name from an ancient legend claiming that no one had ever succeeded in reaching its summit. The peak vanished into the clouds, untouched and unseen by mortal eyes. Yet there were those who refused to accept a life beneath everlasting night. Five individuals became the first to challenge fate. They set out to climb Unseen Peak, determined to uncover the truth and restore the sun to the world. However, none of them ever returned. Their fate remained unknown. Some speculated that they perished during the ascent. Others believed they were cursed by the gods for defying destiny. No one could say for certain what had happened to them. Even so, their actions left a lasting impact. They inspired countless others to rise against fate and seek the return of the sun by climbing Unseen Peak themselves. Gradually, people from across the continent began to gather at the mountain’s base, driven by hope, despair, or defiance. These people came to be known as the Sun Seekers.
