Olivander, a young servant boy from a life of hardship, has always dreamed of something more than the life he was born into. After years of laboring in the castle, the king grants him a place within the royal guard—a step that seems to promise honor and purpose. But when he's unexpectedly assigned as the personal guard to Princess Kalia, his world shifts in ways he never anticipated.... more>>

In the Arcane-Industrial Empire of Voldrath, you don’t get second chances—you steal them. ... more>>

Progress is powered by unstable magic and ruthless ambition. Corporations, cults, and criminals battle for control of the ultimate prize: arcane augmentation—a technology that rewrites souls.

Leiger Rosewood is a disgraced Noble with a name that once meant something. After her father’s betrayal, she’s left branded, broken, and stuck policing the slums of West Station—the Graveyard Shift.

But when a dying Apex Augury collapses at her feet, Leiger makes a desperate choice: to form a forbidden soul-link with Folgren, the Kinetic Sovereign—a war criminal whispered about in ghost stories.

Now, she has access to power she barely understands… and secrets that could unravel the empire. But the bond comes with a cost: visions of a dead city, gears grinding in her veins, and a voice in her head that isn’t hers.

With Folgren’s enemies hunting her and corruption festering in the heart of the Arcane Board, Leiger must decide: Will she claw her way back into the light, or become the monster they already think she is?

One thing’s certain—Leiger’s no longer just a Sentinel.

She’s the spark that’ll ignite the empire’s downfall. <<less

As the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Kaelion discovers he is tied to the Veil in ways even he doesn’t fully understand.

Faced with betrayals, shifting alliances, and the harrowing truth about the nature of the Veil, Kaelion must decide: will he fight to preserve the Riftveil’s fragile balance, or let the chaos consume it—and himself?

A tale of magic, intrigue, and self-discovery, Beyond Riftveil explores the thin line between creation and destruction, and the choices that shape destiny. <<less

Have you ever encountered something so incomprehensibly horrific that your only reaction was to laugh, then wonder if you've lost your mind?... more>>

Leticiel hasn't reached that point. Yet.
She sees monsters, or rather, considering their inexplicable nature—peculiar, alien entities that look like they were cobbled together from a human anatomy chart and a meat blender. Abnormality; neither animalistic nor spirits from another world, but something else entirely. She overhears strangers speaking in coded phrases that sound like game mechanics, spouting trivialities too foreign for comprehension. And worst of all, she watches these same people explode into gore, only to reappear minutes later, pouting over destroyed gear and lost items.

Leticiel wants answers. What she gets instead is a train ride into lunacy.

Armed with only a camera that may or may not be malfunctioning and a brain that's definitely close to snapping, Leticiel boards a night train filled with blue-coated lunatics with questionable trigger discipline. They talk as if the world is a game with unlimited lives. Everyone else seems blissfully unbothered by the reality crumbling around them—where doors lead to different dimensions, entities too abnormal to comprehend, and physics becomes a suggestion rather than a law. Yet she's the only one who reacts like any of this isn't normal.

They call her an NPC. They chant "roll for initiative" like a magic incantation. They die like slapstick comedy; they laugh, she screams.

In a world where sanity is optional and reality is negotiable, Leticiel must navigate the thin line between what's real and what's madness—assuming there's still a difference. <<less

Tinn thinks it's the cutest thing whenever his boyfriend blushes, so he sets out to tease Gun for a week—to varying degrees of success. However, as the week progresses, he can’t help but notice that there’s something off about Gun and maybe even about himself, too.... more>>

No harems. No systems. Just a mad genius and her soul-driven demons.... more>>

Steam and science are conquering the wilds, and old-school adventurers like Turner are becoming obsolete. Haunted by an encounter that never made sense and the loss of a mentor ten years past, Turner survives by trusting his instincts and keeping his crew alive. But even caution can’t save him from what’s coming.

A routine job turns deadly, pulling Turner’s team into the orbit of an unfeeling genius: a woman who powers her mechanical creations with stolen souls. As ancient magic collides with impossible technology, the lines between hero and villain blur... and even the purest motives become dangerous.

No power fantasies here. Just a cautious man and his friends fighting to survive in a world spinning out of control. If you want mystery, exploration, and a side of tragedy and light horror, you’re in the right place.
