At the high end of the 21st century and amidst all forms of seemingly improbable scientific developments achieved by humanity, a mysterious new discovery sends the world into a reeling shock as psychic beings known as "espers" begin to appear. This discovery is that of a new organ within the human body, the aptly titled "subnerve", a secondary nervous system connecting only to the heart and the brain and seemingly capable of performing the functions of either organ should the original be destroyed, but despite this alone being an amazing function, its not the organs primary purpose; for that would be the creation of "esp" or psionic energy, a strange new power that allows otherwise... more>> regular humans to perfrom miraculous feats by virtue of focused thought.

Our story, of course, follows one such curious creature, a boy known as Ynim Citae.

"In Earth's distant future, most of its religions known today decline or change. As a result of this spiritual upheaval, the barrier between the spiritual world and the physical one falter, and ghouls and demons are loosed upon the earth. Ultimately, most of these are resealed by the new religions, but one such demon named Belial, requires nothing short of sealing by angels to put back to rest. Thousands of years later, a beggar named Ambrosia Brahmin picks herself off the street only to be sent on a fetch quest by God, joined by swordsman, a shaman, a thief, a druid, an exorcist, an angel, and a demon. Meanwhile, the demon from eons before, sealed... more>> in a jar, is slowly being unsealed by a duped wizard, given false promises of rewards that await him..."

This book has already been published on Amazon KDP (but due to screwed up stuff, the Kindle version and the Paperbook version are not on the same page). It was originally developed as video game on RpgMaker 2003, and I still occasionally add things to it. <<less

What is God, what are demons, what are angels, what are humans?... more>>

The interaction between all of the above has a cause, a consequence and a reason why it is.

Humanity develops under the scrutiny of other beings who seek benefits for themselves, and humans themselves with the greed that characterizes them use everything to their advantage to get more.

What if religion is not only what we think it is, if it is not only the primitive form of philosophy, if it is not only a collective thought that is imposed on the masses to obtain their control and submission?

I invite you to immerse yourself in the search for truth from the perspective of those who live or survive it.

Can you continue to being yourself once you discover that everything around you is no longer the same?

The cover was created by me, generated by artbreeder.

This work is not, nor intends to be a religious criticism or anything like that, I have decided to categorize it as boys love (love between two men), because there are elements of gay love in the story, but the story does not revolve around it, I risk with this that people looking for the theme will not be encouraged to continue reading, and on the other hand I scare those who avoid this category, even so, I do not conceive to develop it in any other way than this so I appreciate the support of those who join. This is the first novel I am publishing and english is not my mother tongue, if there are mistakes please point them out and I will correct them.

The work contains mentions or development of the following themes, suicide, kidnapping, rape, torture, please if you are sensitive to these issues or are not to your liking take note of it. <<less

Hello! The focus of this story is really the world, and the cultures and religions which populate it.

I am hoping to update this story at least a few times a week, and probably every day for the first week or two. I really hope you enjoy the story! :) <<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>>

Synopsis:
The lingering mystery of a destroyed planet threatens to unravel the Commonwealth. Lacking answers, the alien races of its constituency—Humanity among them—grow restless.

Captain and Fleet veteran Dash Anderton wants a crew, a contract, and to be left alone. Fate lands him in the spotlight when he accidentally saves renowned alien singers—and revolutionary covert agents—Sisters Celescia from deadly operatives of their oppressive homeworld government. The regime seeks secession from the Commonwealth against the wishes of its population. A move that risks a cascading exodus of other member states and a collapse of galactic order.

Recruited into the troupe, the singers and crew discover an insidious conspiracy to defeat the Commonwealth. With the Commonwealth’s diplomatic fleet inbound and time running out, the Z Team must battle ruthless assassins, outwit scheming officials, and confront ghosts of the past to salvage peace on the edge of collapse and save countless lives—including their own.

Blending The Expanse, Mass Effect, The Collapsing Empire, and The Fifth Element, this book is perfect for fans of science fiction and those new to the genre.
