For many generations has stood atop a tall mountain a prestigious institution. Out of the scrutiny of prying eyes, it will open once more this year to welcome the new arrivals. With pride, the staff delivers only the very best education to those who are fortunate enough to find their way to St. Venture's school for youth. The food is made by world-class chefs, and there are even caretakers all over to tend to any child's needs. Everything is perfect... Or is it?... more>>

Lucas had never been the most sociable boy growing up, but with the help of a few others, he finds the confidence to make up for what had been absent during his upbringing. The classes are stimulating, gym is super fun, and the adults actually seem to care about his well-being. All seemed to be going well. At least until children slowly started going missing...

What a small group of boys thought was a haven eventually turns into hell as they struggle just to survive another day. Nobody has escaped from St. Venture in over a century. Once you go in, you don't come out.

This is my second book I am working on, but as I am currently very busy with Corvid's remake this will be on the backburner for a while until that is done. I actually really want to work on this one because I feel like this has a lot of potential to be a decent horror story, but I figured just to put this out and let it sit for a while until I'm ready to switch gears and focus on it again in the future. If you have any suggestions to make don't hesitate to leave any. This is a rough draft first and foremost, and I still have tons of editing and proof-reading myself before I decide on anything concrete regarding this story. <<less

A long time ago Arch started up a series called The Seige of Vraks. It was to wind up being forty-three videos long and very well received. About ten videos in, people started posting little snippets of ideas and quotes and all sorts of funny things about the siege. At first, it was observational humor, but then there were some serious stories in there. About that point, I was hooked. I had years before quit writing, mostly because of burnout. The ghostwriting scene had dried up and the work I was getting was disturbing. So I just walked away.... more>>

For some reason, reading the stories getting posted got me going again.

At first, it was just strange stuff, then some humorous stuff, but then I was inspired by the reception of Epsilon-288, the lone Kriegs Guardsman who had a run-in with A Nurgel Space Marine and for some reason, Epsilon-228 became very popular. As the series ground on, I started taking the time to put together a bunch of the stories from the comments and the result was Tales From The Trenches.

I slapped it together, posted it on a website, and forgot about it,

However, TFTT rekindled in me my love for writing, but no longer would I write for profit grinding out soft-core romance novels. This time, I would write for myself and I would write the story that I had wanted to write. A story about heroes overcoming impossible odds. Alas, I hate prequels. So, before I got to the story, I wanted to write the story about how the hero had become the hero. Then I wound up writing the story about how his friends became heroes.

In short, I wound up writing 875k words spread out over five different story arcs, and I have yet to get to the actual story I wanted to write. I have finished three books, and I'm working on four more as of this posting. I have the story worked out for a total of 27 to tell the whole thing, and I plan on finishing all of them. I have not made a single penny on any of it, posting it all for free on Scribble Hub.

I am very happy with the result.

I have relearned why I started writing in the first place.

I have Arch and the Seige of Vraks to thank for that.

So when Arch started to remaster the Seige of Vraks series, I off-handedly posted, "You know... I should remaster Tales From The Trenches." And I got a bunch of people telling me to do EXACTLY THAT. Honestly, I thought Epsilon-228 didn't make that much of an impression, but apparently, he did. As someone said, "[TFTT is] as far as I’m concerned an integral part of the Siege of Vraks series." This got me thinking.

My goal is to go back, fix a bunch of errors, clean it up, feed it through an editor, take the time to go back through the original videos and see if there were any posts I missed, then collect everything, and release it in forty-three installments. The original series was 43 videos, so I figure I should stick with that.

Unfortunately, the original TFTT really didn't start until about halfway through TSOV, so the stories will not quite match up with the videos as they are released. Alas, this is unavoidable, otherwise, there wouldn't really be any content for the first half of the series. But since we've all seen the original, I don't think that will matter much. This version might seem a bit out of sequence, but that's because, in the end, this is an Anthology. It isn't just my writing, but the writing of a whole lot of contributors.

Some of the original work isn't copied over word for word. Often I cleaned it up to make it work better in a serial format. This is all in fun, so if you are a contributor, just understand I took some artistic license for the sake of the narrative flow. If you feel I screwed your story up, feel free to post your correction in the comment section of each installment. <<less

This is actually a complete remake of my original book by the same name. I've made major changes to the entire story and every character. As I am still attending college, I have only so much time to work on this, but progress is certainly being made. I estimate the book will be anywhere from 80k to 120k words by the end. If you have any feedback you wish to give, or suggestions to make, please do not hesitate. I welcome all criticism, but I don't take everything too seriously so don't feel as though you may offend me by pointing something out. Growth is only achieved by improving where one is lacking, after all. <<less

Note:
"Artek" in Ilocano and Igorot language simply means a person suffering from alcohol dependence or a more straight forward definition would be a drunkard.

The story is influenced by Western and Japanese animations, manga and novels that have been seen and read by the author. One of which is a part of a plot taken from the manga series "Cross game" by Mr. Atsuro Adachi, a great story teller!

There’s a fact that every trillionaire in the Terran Accord knows: Power on Antares always comes with a price. And it was true; almost every position of power within the jurisdiction of the Antares Authority had some sort of string attached. ... more>>

Yet an entire third of the Antares Authority’s budget is exempt from public scrutiny, a gigantic bucket of odds and ends that the masses aren't allowed to know any details on. It's a glaring exception to the rule. Accountability is completely impossible. The money is poured down a hole and not subject to any form of oversight. Nobody knows a single thing they do — not even the very legislators who approve it, every single year, without failure. Whoever is in charge of this is one glaring exception to this rule: They have power without a price. Or so it seems…

Helios never anticipated becoming his present self.... more>>

Another tormented soul suffering at the hands of modern existence and routine, he yearned for an adventure, a journey, an escape from this hellish thing called life.

But desires are a curious phenomenon. Every great voyage will transform you, but will you appreciate what you've become? For just because you ceased observing your shadow, your shadow does not vanish.

A desperate soul, driven by the noble desire to secure financial support for his ailing mother, unexpectedly found himself thrust into an alternate realm permeated with falsehoods and treachery. As he maneuvered through this perilous domain, a profound transformation occurred within him. His initial aspirations faded, replaced by an all-consuming hunger for power. No longer content with mere survival or a return to his former life, he now sought to overthrow the established order and claim dominion over this strange new world.

He gazed up at the twelve twinkling stars amidst the sky, ruminating about his transformation. "The throne of Nyxium is mine. Then I shall come for your heads," he vowed to himself, seated upon a pile of bodies. In a world where dread manifests monsters and indecisiveness spells demise, fear and indecisiveness are the sole things to be feared. Once a timid boy from Earth who landed on this treacherous soil, he now feared battling no one, be it a king, a god, or even, the shadows of yore.

The tale unfolds, chronicling the odyssey of Helios as he navigates a quest to attain equilibrium, not merely in the realm that surrounds him, but within the very essence of his being.
