EXTRACT FROM THE BEGINNING OF BATTLE FOR THE PHOTON CORE [INTER-UNIVERSAL PROTECTORS: BOOK 1] (PUBLISHED VERSION) NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON AMAZON... more>>

OFFICIAL BLURB
Five thousand years ago, ten items were hidden across Creation. Enchanted with magic from an age gone by, they had the power to open a door to a realm long since forgotten. When the items were used, they sealed away one of the greatest evils to ever walk the worlds.

The hunt for the items has begun. The stakes: free the evil or leave it trapped. Should it be freed, the Age of Darkness will begin. Nothing and no one can stop it, except for one: the holder of the opposite power, the power of good.

With the help of her friends and allies, the keeper of this power, Amneris Topanga, must track down all ten items before the followers of this great evil. But there's a catch. The items can only be used or destroyed when all ten are together.

Sounds simple enough, right?

After a decade of reconstruction Flammin had gone through to become as powerful as those who destroyed her home, the Relic Queen Nike takes the former living paintbrush to complete the final stages of her training: flying. For a small moment, Flammin had an epiphany of Nike, the divine living trident and mentor who bonded with her throughout the rigors of her transformation into what she is now.

This short story is part of my worldbuilding xenofiction project, World of Relics. This project encompasses a world of living objects and relics that came to rise shortly after the Inversion Event, an event that killed both mortals and their gods, stole their souls, and remade them into living objects. You can see more about this project here: worldofrelics.carrd.co

Since this is the first story I published online, critique is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

|WATTPAD FEATURED| A rainy day encourages Teuila's father to take her out on the Oceania, but what will happen when their boat flips, and they're left stranded in the Atlantic Ocean?... more>>

***

Teuila just wanted a peaceful summer break, after her first year at College of Charleston. However, peace in her family never happens with her father's sailing blood. As an attempt to grow closer to his little girl, he takes her out on the family's Laser, the Oceania, on a rainy day that mimics a special one nineteen years earlier.

When the Oceania flips and leaves father and daughter stranded in the Atlantic Ocean, they must work together to return to shore, without the buff lifeguard girls running out to rescue them. Teuila has to see past her father's sailing personality and find the one she grew up with, before she and her parents ran aground in the Charleston Harbor.

With the help of the current, love, and just a little bit of imagination, Teuila and her dad's fight for survival becomes nothing more than a mere Disney Channel movie. Not only that, but Teuila learns a secret-the truth behind why she carries such an unusual name.

The Second Book of the Olympus Series... more>>

The Great God Zeus Lives! He is not as gracious as billions upon billions thought. Once imprisoned, he has now escaped, and the fate of the Universe lies with him. His treachery will reach the most outer rims of space and the darkest secrets that no one should see are to be revealed. The creatures that were imprisoned, the monsters that were vanquished are returning and not one soul will be safe. Even death will not take away the agony that is about to be unleashed.

An ”unique” group of nine species are the only hope for the Universe. They were led to this hidden galaxy because they were said to be chosen for this purpose. Many would find this “laughable”. The only chance for them of ever being able to face Zeus and the armies that follow him, is to be given power using the technology that Zeus created. The device nicknamed the “Godmaker”, can give these nine species god-like powers, but only if they are able to withstand the pain and anguish that it inflicts. Each of them must relive their worst moments in their life and the stronger the pain the more powerful they become, only if they survive.

Olympus is now their home. Their old lives are gone. The only hope of the Universe is for them to be reborn. This is the New Beginning! <<less

"His name will never be sung, son. Skalds and bards like me will never tell his stories to the mass. But only us and us alone will keep telling his story, his actions, his saga. For he is the man who started all of this."... more>>

This is a story no man in Lumenter will ever hear, no man except for an Arnesen, for his stories are dull and generic to the ears of the masses, except for us, because he is the very reason why our people traveled this far east, why kingdoms in Erisgi fell and rose, why I... even existed in the first place.

He is Geir, son of Arne, called 'the Stranger' by the people.

But what he truly is, is a fiery red heart that beats inside every Eyklandian, Arnesen, and me.

This short story/borderline novella was created as a restricted exercise that I forced upon myself a few years back:
1) Only gave myself 2 hours to write each day across 7 days; 14 hours total to write, proofread, and edit.
2) Challenging myself to create a story with characters whose names aren't given (this was inspired by Mamare Touno's Maoyuu Maou Yuusha and written before Goblin Slayer was first fan-translated into English).

This first novel tells the story of a mystery that will keep... more>> readers on the edge of their seats wanting to know how a powerful force is taking over the Universe. The biggest shock of all is why. Lost in a giant nebula in the most outer rims of space, nine unique species find themselves having to work together to survive. All of them escaped together from an enemy that is terrorizing the Universe with their incredible power. No one knows from where this enemy originated, only that they call themselves the Kraken. The leader of this group of nine species claims to be able to see the future, but his arrogance makes him hard to trust. He has taken them on a path to discover a place he believes will give them the resources they need to survive, but most of all, give them hope. What they find is the greatest discovery of all time, but what it holds is a secret that could either give them the hope they seek or bring destruction to all life in the Universe. No matter how hard you hide the gravest of all secrets, they always end up being found. <<less

One fateful day in autumn, thirteen people were saved by angels with an agenda: one of these people would become the next God, while the others would become shinigami. The catch? These god candidates are spread across the world, and they have 99 days—until the end of the year—to either find allies against or hide from someone who claims to be the new Kira. But even among these alliances, everyone has their own agenda... ... more>>

This is a loose rewrite of the source material. The Arrows' powers are modified for story purposes. All the angels stay the same, but except for Mirai Kakehashi and Kanade Uryu, most of the god candidates will be different, as many of them are no longer from Japan. Some will play familiar roles but with a twist. Saki Hanakago will have some of the biggest changes, since I felt that her character was very weak and generally unlikeable, especially as the main female. Hopefully I did everyone justice! <<less
