When a pilot with no name breaks through a rift to a dying world, he and his experimental fighter-plane become the only things in the way of a horrific army of monsters that is marching to burn down the mystical world tree and kill its keeper as the final symbol of their grim victory.... more>>

What happens when an emotionless killer is transported to another place, when a man who was trained to hunt in the skies above barren ash-lands now becomes the last protector of the perfect garden below instead?

What happens when a soldier with as much blood on his hands as engine grease must find a way to live together with a peaceful incarnation of nature itself — a dryad — in order to save the last sparks of life on her fading world from a series of invasions that never seem to end?
_______________________
The one-thousand year crisis has begun.

The world tree, towering up toward the heavenly skies, is the greatest beacon of resilience and peace that there is. Saturated with deeply set, ancient magical energies, it is the most powerful source of ambient, restorative magic that the dying world has ever known. Guarded solely now by its last pacifistic caretaker, a forest dryad, it seems inevitable that it will soon be destroyed with nobody around who is strong enough to protect it from the steadily approaching danger.

Rising from the shadows, horrific monsters from forgotten eras tear through the world in the steadily growing waves of their invasion, breaking free from their ancient prisons deep below its surface as they rampage and destroy the cities of men, elves, and all the other races of the many continents. Filled with nothing but an intent to kill, the system-manifested hordes march toward the last garden in order to bring about the end of the last era.

As one nation after the other falls, everything seems lost, until fate intervenes and a rift between worlds opens, bringing in the only hope the many nations, the sacred tree, as well as its peace-loving caretaker, have against the endless tide of blood and fangs — a transmigrated war pilot, flying an experimental combat aircraft, the Jagdflugzeug-09 'Kestrel'.

Is this one man enough to stop the monster invasions, which grow stronger and stronger with every subsequent wave? Can the pilot with no name carry the fate of the world upon his wings, or can he only watch from above as the fires of the apocalypse reach up to the sky to consume him as well before the fall of final darkness?

Synopsis: Floating in the air just in the middle of Times Square in new york was a strange crack in the air that emitted a strange golden light, set as a perimeter around said crack, were countless US Soldiers, Tanks, Attack Helicopters, and jets flying overhead.... more>>

Suddenly the crack let out a deeper glow for a second as a figure materialized just next to the crack.

It was a man, or what appeared to be a man.

Pale white skin, glowing blue flames where the eyes should be, a strange crowned helmet, long snow white hair, strange armor with a skull molded onto the belt, and knee guards. In the man's hands was a glowing blue long sword with a skull just between the blade and guard.

Suddenly, dozens more figures started appearing around the crack too. Men and women wearing strange armor with decayed skin and missing flesh. They were undead. And each of them had the same blue flame inside their eyes and mouths...

The Lich King and his army have arrived in a new world. <<less

Discovering that a group of chosen heroes of the netherworld have sided with the threat they were meant to defeat, Allen and the Grim Reaper’s inheritor decide to confront them as a team of part-time supernatural investigators hunting down mythic entities and prophetic art pieces that may be the key to solving their problems.

The Maedra. Foul flesh-born creatures which lurk in the darkest pits hidden across the Overworld, lying in wait for the time Crux is revived so that they can once more plunder the lands and feast on anything that lives. Beasts with no other function but to devour and tear the world asunder for their merciless leader. They've lurked within the Ravine, festering like a plague, for centuries. Finally, they've been exterminated. Through grit and rage, Jake has burned the Ravine from the inside out, slaughtering the Maedra in their nests until not a single one remained. All to repay the debt of hate and blood.... more>>

With his task complete, Jake returns to the surface with a burden to carry. Darius, or Delmuth as was his Elven name, fell to the Maedra and left behind a pair of blades. As repayment for both his teaching and out of respect for the Swordmaster, Jake has decided to return the fallen Elf's swords to the rightful family. He first returns home to prepare and then begins his travel north to the Land of the Elves. A long, grueling trek that will take longer than a year to complete one-way. An adventure that will see him crossing hundreds of miles, passing thousands of faces, and encountering both friends and enemies alike.

What he doesn't know is that along the way, he will learn that the Maedra aren't the only evil creatures that the Overworld cradles. <<less

The earth shattered violently on that fateful day, unleashing swarms of supernatural mosquitos with a bite that imbued powers - and Jamaica would never be the same.... more>>

When a massive earthquake rocks the island, deep fissures rupture open spewing forth Coco Mosquitos carrying a mysterious parasitic venom. Those bitten find themselves unalive or gifted with incredible abilities - shape-shifting, dreadlock lightning, and more.

But with these powers come great responsibility, and enemies arise to spread chaos. Now a group of gifted youths must embrace their destiny as Jamaica's next generation of heroes to defend their homeland from the dark forces threatening its future.

A/N: Some dialogues are written in Jamaican dialect to capture the authenticity of the island's language. However the overall narrative is in standard English, which retains its readability. For better understanding of the dialect, you can view the basic glossary at the link below, but as you read the story, you'll come to grasp it very quickly.

Seventeen-year-old Daniel Matton, still grieving after his mother's death five years ago, is given the adventure of a lifetime when he's selected as the Star of 3023's PPMC Project for a journey through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole to prehistoric times.

*******************
The golden light enveloped everything as the red sun slowly rose. A woman stood amidst a battlefield painted red with the blood of many fallen soldiers and wizards. Her long black hair, which looked like a void, cascaded around her in the morning breeze, which carried the pungently sweet scent of death.

Her clear blue eyes, which resembled the deep and vast ocean, stared directly at the blonde man in shining armor.
Her arms loosely hung as her posture stooped, she waved her two short, intricately designed black daggers dripping with blood at the man taunting him.

The blonde-haired, handsome man stared at her with his determined blue eyes as he pointed his big and glimmering sword at her.

The woman's stone-cold face slowly turned to a malicious sneer as she licked the blood in her daggers right before charging at the man.

When I died, I kind of figured that would be it. Or, I would have, I guess. More fool me, because I seem to have died in the one spot where my soul had a chance to stick around a bit longer. Of course I seem to be a stone now, so I'll have to figure that out, but how hard could it be? I have so many questions, and I'm going to enjoy tracking down the answers!... more>>
