Genghis Khan conquered the world with fire and blood. His name shattered kingdoms, erased borders, and terrified continents. His empire stretched farther than any before it. Yet after his death, that vast dominion didn't stand as one. Brothers turned against brothers. Sons against uncles. The greatest empire in history fractured, piece by piece, until only its legend remained. A modern soldier opens his eyes on the frozen steppe, surrounded by blood, steel, and screaming horses. He has been reborn as Batu Khan, grandson of Genghis, heir to the western armies of the Mongol Empire. And he knows what awaits him. He knows the Mongols will reach Europe, then retreat. He knows the empire will tear itself apart over succession. He knows history will squander this unmatched momentum. He refuses that future. With modern knowledge of warfare, logistics, and statecraft, Batu begins reshaping the western frontier. From tribal bloodshed to imperial ambition, from the steppes to the heart of Europe, he will carve a new destiny. Not as a loyal prince of a dying empire, but as the Great Khan of the West. ---------------------- 150 Power Stones = 1 Bonus chapter! 100 Golden Tickets = 3 Bonus Chapters!

Charming. He inherits a gutted city, a corrupt garrison, flooded mines, and a woman who can bend gravity with her bare hands. He also has something this world has never seen. The industrial revolution never happened here. It will now.

Fusion is a science-fantasy saga set on a living world shaped by three suns—Solara, Virel, and Nexon—whose energies govern will, identity, and transformation. At its center is Allium Bell, a being created to maintain balance between these forces. Designed as a function rather than a person, Allium begins the story detached, precise, and unsure what it means to choose. As disturbances spread across settlements—emotional flattening, identity erosion, and subtle behavioral harmony—Allium and a small group of allies investigate what initially appears to be environmental instability. What they uncover is not a single enemy, but a growing manipulation of identity itself. As ancient entities exploit the world’s systems and the power of the tri-suns, the cost of balance becomes increasingly personal. Rose, a seraphim seeking warmth and self-definition; Cassidy Firewell, a human forger shaped by loss and humor; Weaver, a creator haunted by the limits of design; and others are drawn into conflicts where force alone cannot solve what is breaking. Fusion is a slow-burn narrative that prioritizes atmosphere, character psychology, and consequence over spectacle. Threats emerge gradually—through silence, behavior, and implication—before violence ever arrives. Power is never free, growth is never clean, and victories carry lasting cost. The series explores themes of identity vs. function, choice vs. design, and the danger of systems that value balance without humanity, building toward escalating conflicts that reshape both the world and those sworn to protect it. This story is written by me (Isaiah Pohlman) and is being officially published on RoyalRoad as well. RoyalRoad Profile: https://www.royalroad.com/profile/860433/fictions

Averna was not Hell, though most who arrived there believed it was. Hell punished what it condemned. Averna tested what it refused to abandon. Nor was it Heaven, Heaven did not ask questions of souls it already trusted. It was a world shaped for the unresolved. Those who entered Averna carried reputations heavier than their bodies. On Earth, their names had been curses, warnings whispered to frighten children and justify executions. Monsters. Tyrants. The irredeemable. History had agreed on that much. God did not. In their souls, He saw a contradiction no judgment could resolve, a light brighter than that of most saints, buried beneath a darkness deeper than even the fallen angels who had chosen rebellion over doubt. To destroy such souls would be wasteful. To absolve them would be dishonest. And so, He forged a final crucible: a universe whose laws bent not toward mercy or cruelty, but compatibility. Thus, were born the twins, Amaranthine and Siegfried, cast into Averna not as prisoners, but as candidates. This is Siegfried’s story, 1 of 2 sides in this series. In Averna, injustice wore many faces, and kindness was nothing but pretense. He did not come to join this world; he came to correct it. In such a world, Siegfried would rise higher than any soul before him, striking down corruption and reshaping society with an iron, unwavering hand. The question was never whether his world would bend to his will. Only whether his insistence on perfection would undo the very justice he sought to enforce.

Only how much of Averna would fall with her.
