In a realm where gods govern the forces of life and death, Nyktos stands as the unwavering Goddess of Death, tasked with maintaining the balance by guiding souls to their rightful end. Known for her stoic demeanor and unwavering commitment to her duty, Nyktos has never questioned her role nor the isolation it brings—until the balance is shattered by an ancient entity, threatening the very fabric of existence.... more>>

Yusei, the vibrant and compassionate God of Life, seeks out Nyktos, proposing an unlikely alliance. Together, they embark on a quest to restore the balance, a journey that will take them across realms, challenge their understanding of their powers, and force them to confront their own beliefs about life, death, and everything in between.

As they journey, they encounter beings affected by the imbalance: souls unwilling to depart, life that refuses to flourish, and a world teetering on the brink of chaos. Each encounter tests Nyktos's resolve and slowly cracks the armor around her heart, revealing the pain and empathy she has long denied.

Yusei's influence gradually softens Nyktos. Through him, she begins to see her role not just as the taker of souls but as a guide who provides comfort in the face of the inevitable. His warmth and understanding of the interconnectedness of all things show her that emotions and empathy are not weaknesses but strengths that can guide her in her duties.

The turning point comes when they face the ancient entity, which thrives on the discord between life and death. In this moment, Nyktos's newfound empathy becomes their greatest weapon. Her ability to understand and comfort the souls in her charge and those left behind, including the entity itself, allows them to address the root of the imbalance.

Get ready for one HELL of a ride.... more>>

Michael Ray Thompson was your average middle-class American man, suffering the fate of most isekai, time-looping litRPG main characters. I'll give you three guesses on what exactly that means.

Ding ding ding! He died! However, rather than finding himself transported to some fantasy realm where the local women fawn over him for no good reason or a futuristic cityscape where he's granted God-given powers, Michael wakes up in HELL.

How could this be? He wondered. He'd been to church at least three times and was baptized as a child, so how the HELL was he in... well, HELL!?

It turns out Michael Ray Thompson's death wasn't the only event that took place at 3:00 PM on a random Tuesday afternoon. Across the country, a death row inmate who shared the same name, though he preferred to go by Mike, was executed at the exact same as Michael's accident. This kinda sorta caused a mix-up within the afterlife department and both of them were sent to HELL, causing both of their souls to occupy and share the same physical form.

In order to fix this mix-up, the two of them... or, I guess the one of them? Anyway, Michael and Mike, living in the same body, are forced to climb Tartarus (a fancy word for HELL) in order to sort out this entire ordeal. However, climbing the infernal tower isn't as easy as it sounds since demons, minions, monsters, beasts, and any other synonym of those words that you can think of are all waiting for them on each floor to maim them! Which sucks!

Readers can expect:

A Roguelike litRPG that tells an actual story.

Comedic moments between the two main characters.

At least 100+ chapters.

Creative, unique weapons and fighting styles.

Plenty of horror elements.

The prose of this novel is not as obnoxious as the blurb!

No stats sheets! I hate those things! Progression/upgrades can and will be told organically through text rather than intrusive stats sheets that take up entire pages.

Every societal structure has a hierarchy that determines the standings of its people. However, royal bloodlines are a thing of the past and no longer... more>> guarantee a person's wealth and prosperity. Tired of the countless wars that had stained the pages of history books from poor leadership and corruption, a monumental change occurred. It was the creation of The Agoge. The Agoge is a brutal system that determines the social standing of the children that participate in it. Every child in society is brought to The Agoge at the age of 6. There, they no longer belong to their parents but to the governing system. It is the most grueling system of government and some children die in the process. It is not a parent's responsibility to raise children for society, but The Agoge's responsibility to determine which children are not fit for it... and if they are resourceful enough, the ones who are. <<less

"Death was a matter of some inconvenience to Démia, in the way picking the wrong color dress might inconvenience me. One supposes that self-resurrection must be a handy talent for a hero, especially the only hero in the Corrupt plane of Barakna. Of course, that self-regeneration comes with a monstrous price tag; a price I would someday pay myself. ... more>>

"I must admit that I was not sorry, at the time, that I was the sword that killed her.

"We had been close, but we had had a falling out, what with Démia letting herself be sent to Barakna as war booty and her killing my fiancé, our brother Connal. Yes, brother. We were all members of the Imperial family and incest was encouraged in the Eden family. Don't judge. In my grief, I began experimenting with shapechanging myself into enchanted materials. I impressed and amazed everyone and I earned considerable praise which somewhat lightened my heart. Alas, my enchanting master became obsessed with one of those materials and he captured me and transformed me into a sword. An embarrassing inconvenience but one which became a great deal more serious when a Demonkin enchanter linked me with a private hell and turned me into the soul-eating sword, Soulwyrm. Such a prison defied even my skills at shapechanging.

"However, when Cael Warwick killed my sister Démia with Soulwyrm, she discovered my predicament and vowed she would free me before escaping my hell-prison and resurrecting herself. To my surprise, she was serious.

"And that’s where our story really starts, in a cold, rainy alley where Démia awaits Cael Warwick, perhaps the greatest power fighter in the Higher Planes, her lover and mortal enemy, who still carried Soulwyrm. I hope Démia doesn’t die on my blade again.

"I don’t think I could live down the embarrassment of killing my sister twice."

--Melindra Eden, Princess of Shapes

I'll be releasing two chapters a week, Tuesday and Thursday. First four books are written (I've recently edited the first 3 and they are mostly good to go). Will finishing editing book four and write book five next. Most of the sexual content comes much later in the series.

Closest parallel to series in Nine Princes in Amber. The Edens get along...better? Incestuous theme warnings. Also, looking at their behavior, I'm not sure they do get along better. They love each other more but they can be pretty treacherous.

All books feature Demia and Melindra as narrators until book 3 where Santina briefly narrates a few chapters. <<less

In a realm where the infernal flames have inexplicably frozen over, transforming Hell from a domain of fire and brimstone into a desolate icy wasteland, lies a tale of unexpected journeys and hidden destinies. Among the few who dare to traverse this frozen Hell is Snow, a young woman whose ordinary life was upended when fate pulled her from the mortal world into the depths of the underworld.... more>>

Alone in a realm far from everything she once knew, Snow navigates the treacherous ice with empathy and a mysterious ability that sets her apart. But her solitude is short-lived. Fate soon brings her together with two strangers, each with their secrets and stories, forging an unlikely alliance in the face of the unknown. Together, they embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries of Hell's transformation and challenge the very fabric of the celestial realms.

Yet, as they venture deeper into the icy heart of the underworld and beyond, Snow and her companions find themselves pursued by dark forces. Unbeknownst to Snow, her arrival in Hell has set events that threaten the balance between Heaven and Hell, making her a target for entities seeking to maintain, exploit, or upend this balance.

Bound by an ancient oath and driven by a destiny she is only beginning to understand, Snow's quest is one of discovery, duty, and the pursuit of destiny against the backdrop of a world turned upside down. "The Frost Maiden's Oath" is a narrative of hidden truths, the courage to face them, and the exploration of the thin line between salvation and damnation. It’s a story about the paths we find ourselves on, the allies we choose, and the relentless spirit required to confront the shadows of our worlds and of ourselves.
