Azrael, the god of death and rebirth, has spent millennia as a serene and impartial guide of souls in the realm of Necropolis, a place where the dead find rest before their next journey. Eternally bound to his divine duties, Azrael has watched countless souls pass through his realm, each carrying fragments of a world he barely understands. But his curiosity grows—what is it like to truly live, to feel the weight of existence, to know the love, pain, and struggle that shape mortal lives?... more>>

Driven by a yearning for understanding and a sense of restlessness that even a god cannot deny, Azrael makes an unprecedented decision: to leave his divine domain and walk among mortals. Disguised as an ordinary man, he arrives in the village of Sava, a place whispered about in ancient tales, where the boundary between the human and the divine is thin. There, Azrael's rigid sense of duty is tested by a world filled with unpredictable emotions, flawed beings, and mysteries that even he cannot foresee.

As he navigates a landscapes of Teren brimming with both beauty and danger, Azrael is drawn to a deeper truth about his own nature and the gods' role in shaping the fate of mankind. But with every choice he makes and every bond he forms, he is forced to confront what it means to truly understand the souls he once judged from a distance.

In "The God in Disguise," follow Azrael’s transformative journey—a tale of divine duty, curiosity, and the delicate balance between fate and free will. Discover a story where even a god must ask: What does it mean to truly live? <<less

What the Fog Hides... more>>

In the valley where dawn forgot to rise, Varethmoor lingered like a wound that never healed. Fog clung to the trees, so thick it hissed against fire and soaked through stone. Generations had lived and died in Eldhollow village, nestled against the edge of that valley, always knowing and never naming the dread that whispered from the deep woods.

The Hollow-Kin were spoken of only in cautionary rhyme:

"Speak not your name, nor wander wide, For Hollow-Kin come when secrets hide. With hollow hearts and silent tread, They leave you less than cold or dead."

Most dismissed it as folklore—until the Black Harvest came.

Crops rotted on the vine overnight. Newborn lambs were found with eyeless sockets, and the local priest hung himself from the bell rope, his mouth stuffed with acorns. Panic set in, and the town council called for a witch: Lyreth of the Fen.

The villagers knew her name only through rumor—said to speak with moss and raise birds from bones. She was neither young nor old, her face ever-shifting, always veiled. When she stepped into Eldhollow, the crows followed, lining the roofs in silence. She brought with her a smell of wet peat and smoke, and the air grew heavier with each step.

Her first words upon arrival chilled them all:

"You called me not for mercy. You called because you are afraid. You were right to be." <<less

As the threat of discovery closes in around them, Max finds himself pulled deeper into the nightmare, leaving a wild and curious Melanie alone in a world of vice and danger where exposing their secret could mean the end.... more>>

Heavily outgunned, the human colonists have no choice but to surrender their supplies to the cruel and uncaring Flarian captain, thus being condemned to death from starvation.

Along with the supplies, the colonists bestow an unknowing gift on Nubela, turning the remainder of the crew's journey to the front into a nightmare that transcends what their weapons can kill and their reason comprehend. <<less

🖤 Story Blurb
They call them the Grey—those who serve death without name, without face. Where others fear the end, they keep the scales balanced, offering death as devotion to a god long fractured.

Illya was meant to die for them.
But she became the wrong that lived.

In a sanctum where silence is sacred and souls are worn like second skin, Illya is tested, shaped, and unmade. Her past is a blank space. Her blood does not obey. And something dark beneath her skin is beginning to wake.

She is the unbecoming of death—but is it because the gods have rejected her? Or because something older has chosen her?

A dark fantasy about memory, silence, and the things we carry even after death.

Slow-burn. Psychological tension. Creeping horror.

By day, they blend in. By night, they hunt nightmares.... more>>

Muma Hunters are the unseen protectors of society—fighting monstrous beings born from trauma, fear, and regret. Most live double lives, hiding their true roles behind ordinary faces. Some are students. Others are adults. But all carry the weight of darkness no one else can see.

Reiji Kurosaki is one of them. A recent graduate of the Muma Hunting Academy, he's assigned to Chira City, where he must balance a façade of normalcy with his duties as a night-time hunter. As he dives into the minds of victims and confronts nightmare creatures, he also begins unraveling the mysteries surrounding the Muma—and himself.

The story starts slowly to build the world and characters—but it’s all leading somewhere. It may not be for everyone, but if you're into anime, intense character journeys, dreamlike battles, and a bit of darkness, give it a try.

Update Schedule:
Chapters will be posted as regularly as possible. You’re welcome to read them as they come out or save them up to binge weekly. Once I settle into a consistent release rhythm, I’ll update this section with a fixed schedule. <<less

Miles was destined from birth to be a "Guardian"—a Ghost Hunter, as he calls it. He inherited the ability to see spirits and ghosts from his parents, a gift (or curse) he despises.... more>>

Wanting nothing to do with his destiny, Miles moves to the remote town of Pine Ridge for college, far away from his parents' expectations. He just wants to live a normal life.

But when Emily, a quiet classmate from his physics course, begins to be stalked by a dangerous spirit, Miles reluctantly steps in to help. In doing so, he forms an unlikely friendship with her and uncovers a hidden mystery lurking in the town.

Now, Miles and Emily must work together to uncover the secrets of Pine Ridge, protect the town from malevolent spirits, and survive the pressure of their demanding STEM courses. Can they balance it all? Only time will tell. <<less

Davezar.... more>>

That’s the only name they call him in the cold chamber of the lab where he’s held—and the only name he’s ever known. Sometimes, they refer to him as Subject R.T.R.

His body is strange. Though human blood supposedly runs through his veins, his appearance is anything but ordinary. He looks... bizarre. Alien. Davezar has no memory of his past, nor does he understand why the scientists are so obsessed with him. They never tell him anything.

What keeps him going is his playful personality—his jokes and lightheartedness. But beneath the surface lies a deep, gnawing loneliness... an emptiness. A strange, inexplicable self-hatred, as if it’s been carved into his soul, despite having no memories to justify it.

Then, everything changes.

The sterile lab erupts with red sirens and distant screams. Amid the chaos, Davezar seizes his chance to escape. But as he steps into freedom, he encounters something—something beautiful, yet horrifying: a faceless golem, drenched in blood.

And it’s chasing him. Relentlessly.

Little does Davezar know, his journey to uncover the truth will drag him through horrors far darker than he could ever imagine—secrets buried not only within himself, but across every world and dimension he’s touched... long before he ever forgot. And the secret of the Golem that will chase him forever. <<less

Calliope Mondegrene has always felt a bit of an alien among her fellow humans. A nerdy self-proclaimed loser sleepwalking through life in a Bostonian triplex, her introversion seems to be boundless, to the point where it leads her to avoid social interaction at the parties she's forced to attend--by getting really, really, high.... more>>

Too high, it turns out, when she sees--and is seen by--something beyond her understanding that, for some unfathomable reason, takes an interest in her sad little life.

Antigreen is a queer eldritch romance, exploring the palpitating horror of unconditional love, the infectiousness of personhood, and the darkness of the feminine void. Set in an alternate low fantasy Massachusetts, it blends titles and tidbits from the works of H.P. Lovecraft (The Colour out of Space, etc) with some quantum chromodynamics and allusions to the Queen of Heaven, along with a women-centered cast and a queer, transfem protagonist.

“Did you despise me? Do you still?”
Three years ago, Olen Doe woke up with absolutely no memory of his life prior to then, only an unbreakable conviction that Ileana Grace — formerly active as the magical heroine Stardust — saved him, though from what, exactly, he’s never been sure of. Ileana and her companions made it clear at the time that this was a gift, a second chance at life, but Olen soon found that a so-called “normal life” as an average human child really wasn’t as great as people made it seem. These days, he can only dream of something greater.
That is, until dreaming itself is threatened, and a... more>> memory sparks.
Stardust may have soundly defeated her enemies three years ago, but a new threat is on the rise, something that’s sucking out people’s dreams — and with them, their hopes and desires — leaving them as empty husks. With the power of Stardust gone for good, Olen takes it upon himself to investigate, while also experimenting with the strange powers that are returning to him together with his memories.
The power to weave nightmares into reality… It might just let Olen get everything he’s ever wanted. Still, as he remembers more about exactly what he was before his salvation, and as the danger grows from without and within, Olen must come to terms with his old life and decide who he really wants to be in this one…

(Takes place in the same continuity as my first attempt at web original fiction, Shattered Stardust; it follows from the planned ending, but no knowledge of Shattered Stardust is needed to understand this story, as Ileana's story is gradually told via flashbacks and dialogue. This story is also posted to Royal Road and its dedicated WordPress site. Cover art by SP on SKIMA.) <<less

Thayne Kurtz knows he's special. At least, special enough to get a rich client to pay him enough money to be able to retire for the rest of his life. His mission? Infiltrate the Watchtower, one of the most prestigious academies in the entire galaxy.... more>>

No biggie, right? Wrong.

There was a wrinkle in his plan, causing him to get caught by the Feds. Now he's given an ultimatum: attend the Watchtower or get thrown in prison for the rest of his miserable life.

There's only one obvious option here.

Now, he must plan an escape out of high-security prison disguised as an academy with his every move being monitored. Will he manage to escape? Or will he find there's much more to the rumors he has heard about this place? And what about an enemy thought long dead lurking in the shadows? <<less

I was just an ordinary man. A failure, a burden, a writer who couldn’t write, a son who could never make his parents proud. Sometimes, I’d sit and wonder. What’s my purpose? Why am I even here?... more>>

Seneca the philosopher said, "We suffer more often in imagination than in reality." But if that’s true. Then what does it say about me? Have I been living in some self-made nightmare all this time? Are the things I want, the dreams I chase, nothing more than illusions spun from fear and regret?

Yeah, maybe I should wake up. Because this dream is slowly... killing me. The darkness is devouring me, bit by bit until there’s nothing left. Swallowing me into the endless darkness. Tarnished me. And everything it touches. Now unrecognizable. Then what did I become? Am I still alive? Still human? I don't know. I can't see. I don't want to see.

Only if… I could find some place where failure doesn’t define me. A past that doesn't bind me. A chance to rewrite my own story. To do something different. Something meaningful. Something better.

Because this is a story me. The failed and miserable one.

What to expect:
- Psychological Realism approach: Dive deep into the main character’s thoughts with a stream-of-consciousness narrative. Like reading the diary of a mind unraveling.
- Dark and self-deprecating humor: Inspired by Kurt Vonnegut’s sharp, satirical wit. Expect humor as dry as the MC’s hope for a happy ending.
- Stories with deeper meaning: Every chapter will weave in hidden themes. Some inspired by ancient philosophers. Their wisdom shouldn’t just gather dust in a library.
- Slow pacing: For now, at least I would think the story will be a bit slow paced.
- Self-Aware Characters: Ever thought about reading a character that's a little unique? Well, a little more relatable? I can suggest you read the main character here. Even though he might suck.
The story will be divided into sections and chapters. Each section can contain several chapters and each new section will start counting chapters again from chapter 1. I did this because I wanted to make editing easier and also the writing process better identified.

For now, updates will be done between once or twice a week. Because to complete 1 chapter requires a rather long process and takes at least 2 days and can be up to 3 or 4 days depending on how long the chapter is and the level of difficulty. Yes. I'm not good at managing stress, so I don't want to force myself to write and end up lowering the quality of the final result. Also, English is not my first language so that's one of the reasons. But at least a chapter for now will be quite a lot of content, around 2k+ words each chapter.

Thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoy reading the results of my story 'experiment'. <<less

Lucian Lightbringer is an angel—once a child of God, now an intergalactic bounty hunter who kills gods for a living. Ironic, isn't it?... more>>

Exiled from Earth and stripped of his wings, this cynical, lone warrior travels the stars with nothing but his trusty Colt revolver and the voice of his seductive, silver-tongued demon partner—whose soul is trapped in the blade of his gladius.

Val is a struggling college student who sees no worth in his own existence except for helping others avoid becoming like him.
