In Greyhaven, every crime reaches a dead end— until someone decides to break the rules. Serial killers, unsolved cases, and criminals who believe they’re untouchable rule the city’s shadows. When logic fails and patterns collapse, only one thing remains: the theory behind the crime. Aaron is a college student by day. By night, he is something far more dangerous. As bodies pile up and investigations spiral into psychological warfare, Aaron is drawn into a world where every move is calculated, every mistake is fatal, and trust is the first thing to die. Criminals think they’re winning—until they realize the trap was never the evidence, but their own minds. In a city where justice hesitates, Dead End Theory proves one truth: There is no escape. Only the final move.

It is impossible for a police officer to fall in love with a criminal. That’s what Riley believed. That’s what she was trained to believe. Riley Knox goes undercover knowing exactly what she’s walking into. A powerful CEO. A spotless public image. And rumours of ties to an organisation that has ruined lives and vanished without a trace. Her job is simple: observe, listen, gather proof, and get out. No attachments. No mistakes. But nothing stays simple for long. The more time Riley spends around Nathaniel, the harder it becomes to separate the role she’s playing from the feelings she’s trying to ignore. He isn’t what she expected. He’s careful, quiet and controlled. And somehow, in the middle of lies and half-truths, something real begins to grow between them. Then there’s Melanie. She isn’t part of the investigation, but she becomes impossible to overlook. A child caught between distance and discipline, acting out because it’s the only way to be seen. Loving too loudly in a house that doesn’t know how to love gently. Riley never meant to care, but caring happens anyway. All three of them are struggling in their own way. Riley with the weight of her duty. Nathaniel with the secrets he refuses to let go of. Melanie with emotions she doesn’t yet know how to name. Somehow, without meaning to, they begin to lean on one another. Not perfectly. Not safely. But honestly. And that’s where everything starts to fall apart. Because love built on secrets doesn’t stay hidden forever. And when the truth finally comes out, Riley will have to choose between the badge she swore to honour and the people she never planned to love. The question is not whether love can survive danger. It’s whether anyone walks away from it unbroken.

Synopsis – Eternal Ascent: Sovereign of Shattered Realities The sky cracked at exactly 3:17 a.m., and reality began to unravel. Cities collapsed, monstrous beings emerged from fractures in space, and the world as humanity knew it was no more. Kael Varis, a seemingly ordinary boy, finds himself marked by the Fragment Ascension System, a mysterious cosmic power that allows him to absorb shards of destroyed universes. Each fragment grants unimaginable abilities—but at a cost: the memories, emotions, and destruction from countless fallen worlds seep into his mind. In a city teetering on the edge of annihilation, Kael meets Lyra, a fierce and enigmatic Fragment Bearer wielding light itself, and Darius, a rival whose philosophy of destruction clashes with Kael’s desire to protect. Together—and sometimes against each other—they navigate shattered streets, floating fragments of reality, and the secrets of a hidden multiverse. But the true threat lies beyond the cracks: The Architect, an ancient being who has orchestrated the collapse of countless worlds, now watches Kael’s rise with interest. Every battle, every fragment absorbed, brings Kael closer to understanding his origin—and the impossible choice that awaits: restore the multiverse, or reshape it in his image. “Eternal Ascent: Sovereign of Shattered Realities” is an epic cosmic fantasy of power, survival, and destiny, where the line between humanity and godhood blurs, and the universe itself becomes both battlefield and prize.

In the era of the Old World, there walked women who did not merely cast magic, but breathed life into the world. They were the weavers of Black Magic, more commonly known as Witches. For thousands of years, the earth has been barren of them. For a Witch is not born, she is wrought. The scholars of the Old World claimed three conditions unlock this forbidden power: First, there must be the Drowning of the Heart. The woman must be pushed past the breaking point of human sorrow. Grief must become the water that drowns her humanity. Second, there must be the Sharpening of the Will. Hate must become the steel of her spine. She must choose not to weep, but to burn. Third, and most rare, there must be the Anchor of the Beast. A Witch without a tether is but a storm that consumes itself. She requires a devotion that rivals her own: a dragon who would trade his divinity to stand in the shadow of her thorns. When these three tides collide, the Mage dies, and the Witch awakens. It is said that when the Witch returns, the mountains will breathe again. The dead woods will scream, and the kingdoms of men will be reclaimed by a garden that never sleeps.

John Niagobert was reincarnated at the moment he drowned in the cold, rocky river. When he opened his eyes, he found himself inside the world of the novel he had once loved—a story he had read countless times—but now it was no longer just fiction. Survival here was nearly impossible. He knew almost nothing about the WEST or William Vixxon, for the author had given little backstory or information. Now, he found himself in an almost-collapsing house, inhabiting the body of WILLIAM VIXXON. All he had gained in this strange new life was a useless system and a weak regression ability—tools and items far too fragile to rely on. And yet, he had to find a way to survive, escape, and reach the Royal Academy—the only place where he might stand a chance of staying alive.

He called himself the world’s greatest mercenary. Yet on his first mission he lost both arms to three bandits. Left to bleed out on the road to Fildin, his story should have ended there — another insignificant corpse in a world that produces them daily. Instead, he wakes in a forest cottage under the care of a bored old researcher and his sharp-tongued granddaughter, who has read far too many stories about real heroes. There is just one problem. He can still feel his hands. As strange pressures build within him and impossible things begin to happen, the disgraced mercenary discovers that his childhood illness — a rare condition known as mana overflow — may not have been a curse after all. Now armless, mocked, and thoroughly humiliated, he must learn to wield something no one else in the world even knows exists. Invisible arms. Forged from mana. Born of desperation. But power comes with consequences — and unseen forces have already begun to take interest.

When war finally ended, the Arcadians sought retribution from the nightmares they had suffered from demonkind. A noble Princess had taken her mother's mantle in order to uphold peace between the two races so humanity could co-exist with their fellow demons in a kingdom without strife, but war paved the road to peace in blood and such path is but a fragile thread awaiting to be ignited by the flames of hatred. Another great war awaits, but will she be able to avert it? Second iteration of the Knight's Fate saga chronologically speaking. Yes I'm starting from the second because the first was an utter failure when I tried to write it, it just didn't fit the mood of a fantasy novel unlike this one. Though don't worry this doesn't mean you can't enjoy this one before I write the first. This is the first story I've actually published so I appreciate any feedback, be it good or bad just let me know what you think.

For generations, the Hurbala Empire was the golden heart of the world, a bastion of peace held together by the wisdom of King Hudal. But in a single night of fire and betrayal, the sun sets on the old world. King Hudal is slain, the legendary Queen Hasha is spirited away in chains to the distant Sunspire Fortress, and the crown—the symbol of absolute unity—is shattered into five jagged shards.

At his side stand the Ten Pillars of the Crown—an ensemble of legendary specialists, from the silent clawed assassin Faradee to the iron-willed shield-bearer Hujeena.

In a world where betrayal is the only currency and every ally hides a dagger, Basyar must learn what it truly means to lead. To save his mother and avenge his father, he must do the impossible: convince his enemies to follow him. The journey leads to Broken Crown Hill, where the blood of five nations will decide the future. Will the crown be ground into dust, or will Basyar reforge it into something stronger than it ever was before?
