Everyone has a story to tell, made from the moments in the lives we share. Consequently, every person has their own perspective, their own subjective experiences, and thereby, their own subjective realities. Even if the exact same story is told by two people, the details from one will differ in the other.... more>>

Reed and Lumina share their lives together, but each of them came from different backgrounds; each of them went through their own unique experiences. Reed is a human being like everyone else on Earth. Lumina is an Altiri, like every one in Genosis. Both are aliens to their own world, and both have seen their own source of immense darkness in their time.

The other side of the same story might sound similar at a quick glance, but in the depths of every personal reality, very little is ever the same. Welcome to the far side of the universe, in a safe corner of the world you've probably heard nothing about. Welcome ~ to Genosis. Welcome ~ to The Other Side. <<less

Physics-Breaking, Telekinetic Elemental Teenagers KICK ASS AND FIGHT DRAGONS!... more>>

The focus of the story is Mmanuell Ezenha, a ridiculously egotistical delinquent that hails from a family of Dragon Beacons: traditional mage-warriors who live and fight to fend off recurring plagues of ice-wielding dragons known as "Random Wyvern Events" and prevent these Events from spreading beyond the Cryotian Tundra.

The threat of another Event looms, and Mmanuell must train to live up to the prestige of his ancestors. Once he gains the ability to use Magic, that is. Even then, he'd probably only take the potentially world-ending disaster seriously if he can use it as an excuse to show off...

He's...kind of a difficult boy. We'll see how he does though.

King's Agency has been described as:

As chilling murders cast suspicion on Apollo, Odion grapples with a tormenting fear. He guards a truth shrouded in darkness: a dormant entity within Apollo threatens to emerge, burdening him with unfathomable responsibility. Only Odion holds the key to halt Apollo's ominous trajectory, even if it demands confronting his deepest fears.

Meanwhile, a dire choice weighs heavily on Apollo. Falsely accused, should he surrender, accepting a life in prison for crimes he never committed? Or dare to unleash the dormant entity, risking chaos to reclaim freedom from a twisted fate?

In The Monster Within, the inaugural chapter of Marcel Jones’ urban fantasy series, Legacy of Shadows, delves into a world where superpowers don't guarantee heroism. As tension tightens and secrets unravel, the once unbreakable bond between the brothers strains under a haunting legacy. Uncover the truth, but beware—the shadows conceal more than mere secrets.

A dark romance series with an injection of giants, demons, legend and lore. A radicalized re-telling of the purged stories from the biblical hinterlands that echo forward to haunt Earth in 2023 AD. An echo, that may compel a return to the past.

Deep Dive:
The ancient plains. A unique crack in space and time cracked forth a charismatic "man" so amplified in hunger and stature, that the Great Scribes purged his evils from the Great Books. But this would be in vain. Because, centuries later, he would resurface; convincingly normal.

To violently intersect with a modern woman.

Stories of antiquity and stories of modernity interlace as he begins devouring her world. But, these horrors provide vital clues to his erased story --

-- a story that travels down the threads of many lives, leaping across epochs, generations, continents - *and* timelines to horseshoe with the Great Books.

A story she must demystify, in her bid to slay him. But before she can, she must romance him first.

Lest he lustily eat her, too.

But, he *is* charismatic. And not a man; not entirely.

...and he may have greater designs at play.

Stabbed to death by the hands of his own wife, Lunar got reincarnated into the world of a modern fantasy novel written by his deceased girlfriend. ... more>>

The protagonist of this world was a reincarnated cold-blooded 'Winter Sword Goddess,' and humanity was nothing but a mere pawn of gods. 

The weak were at the mercy of the strong, and they had no control over their fate.

But Lunar, who was reincarnated as a weak villain in this world, refused to accept his fate and be trampled upon.

"Fate is weak before the courageous and strong before the coward. I will be the one in control of my own fate."

"No law or morality shall bind me in this life. My only goal and obsession is to become the Eternal Sovereign, rising above the universe, living an eternal life, toying with galaxies, and doing exactly as my heart pleases."

"For this goal, it didn't matter if I became the enemy of the world. I will be the true villain on the evil path, merciless and cruel. I will stop at nothing to achieve my goal."

In this world where the awakened were called heroes of humanity, Lunar would be an evil villain, wearing the mask of a righteous hero—the mastermind hiding in the shadows, using his wits and future knowledge to rise from the bottom, manipulating even the gods to his will, and stealing all the opportunities for his own benefit.

For himself, in this world, which would soon face a cataclysm and an invasion of the Abyss, he would even swallow the World of Trials given to humanity for their survival.

But at the end of his journey, would he be able to achieve his goal of becoming the Eternal Sovereign?

Let's find out. <<less
