Inspired by the 17-century epic poem Paradise Lost, Blood Bonds follows a similar exploration with separate and altered accounts into the life of Lucifer Morningstar... more>> as he narrates instances from his life. What it was like growing up in Paradise, befriending God at adolescence, the ideology behind a divine society, his outlooks on key event, war, abuse, sexual abuse, mental health topics, are just a few heavy subject matters that are displayed across the story and its entirety. If you are not comfortable with these specific subjects, immoral depictions, my portrayal of important biblical figures, or having Lucifer as a dictator to his own story, DO NOT READ!
Blood Bonds is no way related to the bible, instead it is the use of characters and setting in a completely separate reality where an endless war against demons is being fought. Where Lucifer and his two younger sisters Licht and Noa struggle to find their way in hostile territory. Satan is only folklore, God is a child, new casts of characters are added and many more separations diverting the religious aspect replacing it with more individual story telling. <<less

Who am I?

Shit happens, but that's life!

P.S. Nice to meet you, my name is Bogdan and I am the author of the screenplay you can read below. Before you proceed to familiarize yourself with my work, I would like to share some details.
This is not the light novel you're accustomed to seeing here. This is the screenplay for a visual novel that I, along with my friends, wrote for the Ukrainian Visual Novel Jam. Below is a link to our game. Unfortunately, there is no English version available yet, but we will add one soon.
This story about Nika and Yuri is very important to me because I wrote it after breaking up with my girlfriend, and to be honest, I was shattered. At that moment, it seemed easier to die than to continue living. Overall, everything was fine for me until then, but after the breakup, I found myself for the first time standing in front of the mirror, thinking that there was no real purpose in continuing to live.

But thanks to my friends and the writing of this story, I managed to pull myself back. Perhaps my state wasn't as dire as I thought, but the support of close people and engaging in creative work helped me see a distant glimmer of hope in life.

Initially, we thought that everything would end with the jam, but after it ended, I decided that I wanted to make more out of this story. I didn't just want to tell the story of one couple, but I wanted to try to help people who are also going through a breakup and don't know what to do next. <<less

In a world where once every hundred years a girl was born with the name "Danae" was destined to sleep for a hundred years, wake up as a mother, and eventually have her happy ending.

|| Mirelle "Danae" of Eden

She was a Sleeping Beauty, the daughter of a pair of peasants, at least that's what she had been told all her life. But now that she knew the truth she vowed to never continue such a life, to kill her first child because she knew it would be a child born out of a horrible act, and that said child would also be a Sleeping Beauty. After 90 years of wandering the desolate land she called her home she met a boy who could see her ghostly form, and on her 116th birthday the two confessed their love, and Danae, no Mirelle was freed until a night many years later when the curse dragged her back into the role she was meant to fulfill.

The one person who stood by her side no matter what, her Knight, and from then on the Knight was beloved by the Princess who saw no other future for herself, clung to her beloved knight till the very end. Maybe even in her next life she'd love him all over again. If only she wasn't born a Sleeping Beauty. <<less

The blizzard rises day after day in the Frostbanks, forcing numbing snow and deadly winds onto the land and its people. In defiance to nature itself, the city of Oglios stands amidst the storm and even thrives thanks to the Suntower's protection, an artifact of old now relegated to simple fixture, its secrets fiercely guarded by the Scorched Circle, whose members regulate the flow of Returned, husks of the departed, in and out of the city.

Part of the larger nation of Gonphar, Oglios has obligations to respect if it wants to keep its relative independence, and the city's elite busies itself to fulfill their orders, supplying Gonphar as a whole with cheap labor in the ways of countless Returned. Meanwhile, the specter of war rears its dreadful head from across the mountains as border tensions with the Ehodan Kingdoms increase. Yet most ignore the threat, having more pressing concerns right within Oglios where warmth is limited, and free space is at a premium.

Three individuals converge during these trying times, lost in their personal struggles.

The Echo, an outsider in several degrees, returns to a family still mourning their mother's passing to uncover her wrongdoings. He would fulfill a promise, and perhaps find himself in the process, all the while having to conceal who and what he is.
The Dutiful reaches into criminal matters by authority of the Office of Inquiries. Held by guilt over her choices, she struggles to make it day-by-day, turning to Nostalgia for release. A thirst for vengeance fuels her will and keeps her going towards the ultimate goal.
The Collector, a mortician by trade, dwells in opposite circles. Pulled by decades old ties to the Circle, he stays loyal to the city in his own way by moving through the underworld in order to uproot corruption.

This is a work in progress, obviously. I want this to be a fully fleshed out novel eventually. It has a lot of moving pieces and things I'm still figuring out which is mostly still in my mind but I still wanted to put it out there, and hopefully get some feedback! Some chapters will very likely end up getting scrapped from the final product as I dig further into the story, and I will also go back and revisit older chapters to fix grammar, continuity errors, etc.

Story on hold as of now (January 2022) <<less

I've read many works of fiction, some Outstanding and others disappointing.
"Can it be as simple as this writer makes it seem, or as hard as this one claims it to be?" This is one the questions that popped up in my mind as I read some novels in the past. Hence now I'm trying out a mile in their (writers/authors) shoes. I have Zero experience in writing, so don't expect much from me. This is my first and probably my last novel after all. ... more>>

In a world where monsters and man must coexist, a teenage boy comes to terms with his half-human self. He writes of his struggles and choices in a red leather journal, one which he intends for his future child. It is a story of emergence, a coming of age, or a transformation of the self through which all people go through. But not all transformations are for the better. And not all things can be forgiven.... more>>

Author's Note: Emergence is a story that existed in my head for a long time and I needed to get it out so I could move on in life. I put a lot of myself into it, which is to say that I wrote it solely for myself, and that it is difficult for me to return to in regards to editing. I am not sure how well it reads for others (I certainly think it is flawed, especially towards the end) but I hope whoever takes the time to read it is able to feel that their time was not wasted. <<less

Rich land owner, Grimwald, once leisurely spending his time hunting and practicing with a sword, with nary a worry in the world, all of a sudden became riches to rags after a painful familial betrayal.
With no one there to protect him from a cruel technicality, and only able to take what he can carry from his land; he sets out with little more than clothes on his back, provisions and bitterness. His life turned into a monotony of dealing with low-lives, greedy merchants and shady characters.

"Wouldn't you rather do something that matters? With a band of loyal brothers?" He asked.

"Things you can't ever tell anyone." The man, unbothered by his attitude, continued.
A brief exchange occurred, after all. Grimwald questioned, and the man answered.
"The Empire's good people can sleep, because our enemies are afraid to."
"Afraid of what?" Grimwald asked, his interest now captured.

"Do you want to find out?" <<less
