The last time humanity had seen the natural white light of the sun was a few millennia ago. Left with no other choice but to adapt, countless sacrifices paved the path to survival. Their new lives were filled with daily tests and tribulations. The word 'humanity' had lost meaning a long time ago.

Trials were placed before them, trials that they must overcome to gain the bare necessities for survival. If they want food and water, they need to solve the puzzle. If they want to gain weapons to fight back against the lingering monstrosities inside, they must complete the trial awaiting them. If they want to escape, they need to keep moving forward. Unfortunately for humanity, they weren't here alone. <<less

Beneath a sprawling multicolored tree, five mighty figures engage in an apocalyptic showdown, spreading waves of death and destruction across the ancient realm.... more>>

Seven fruits, each shimmering with a unique color, dangle tantalizingly from the tree. One figure, in a desperate gamble, sacrifices their life to wield an overwhelming force, momentarily paralyzing their rivals. Without hesitation, they seize the golden fruit, propelling the other six into the endless void of the cosmos and drawing the ire of their opponents.

With a maddening laugh, they self-destruct, decimating the once-scared realm and the ancient tree. Amidst the settling chaos and the vestiges of their deranged laughter still hanging in the air, the remaining adversaries scramble only to realize the disappearance of their crazy foe.

Eons pass, and the legend of the laughing lunatic fades to whispers, leading the four remaining hegemons to suspect their opponent's demise amidst lingering doubts and regrets.

Yet, in a twist of fate, a peculiar yellowish stone, resembling a unique fruit, emerges in the grasp of an unsuspecting tourist in China. <<less

Aiden finally gave in to the messages barraging his phone after letting out a grunt of annoyance. With a dazed look, he let his hand fumble around the nightstand, eventually holding his phone after a few tries and opened it to numerous messages on the group from his friends.... more>>

Eyes still half closed, he went through the messages, “Look at the night, the moon looks so red!” “The moon is beautiful today!” “The night sky is breathtaking, look outside your window!” “There’s no way you want to miss the moon today!” Due to his habit of sleeping in complete darkness, with curtains closed, he didn’t, on instinct, immediately turn around to look outside the window near his bed, which caused his gaze to linger around longer to find a letter on the nightstand.

Huh? I don’t remember placing anything else here?

When he held the letter though, a symbol embossed on it immediately caught his attention. It was of a secret society he made along with his friends when they were kids. Friends who had one by one disappeared from his life. He opened it to find only a single piece of paper, and some liquid dripping on his palm.

Quickly transitioning to a sitting posture while he grasped the paper in one hand, he turned on the lamp with the other. His eyes widened, pupils dilating, as he looked at the hand holding the paper, which soon began shaking as dark red liquid kept sliding off the paper to stain his hand.

Is it blood?

Containing his fear, he concentrated his gaze onto the paper which had some messy words written over it with the same liquid.

“Don’t look at the moon!”

Those with transcendent power form a big group, but there is an even bigger group that cannot meaningfully touch it.... more>>

Stuck in the quagmire of mundanity, without the ability to take their lives into their own hands, perhaps it is a universal desire to give anything to change the situation. When presented with an opportunity to change one's fate, few can keep themselves from reaching out.

But… [Immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing, and any form of power comes with shackles of its own.]

Apollyon was one such being who gave those who wielded it the ability to turn the tide. It was very willing to help any lost soul - his kindness and generosity knowing no bounds.

Its strength extended to anyone or anything, rich or poor, weak or strong - none of that mattered.

Well, if they sacrificed everything of theirs in return just as generously, of course.

[However, before their destined payment, perhaps they could make something of this fleeting moment.]

Expanded Synopsis:
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chased after immortality rarely ended with happy endings. They either came to terms with their limitations, gave up, and returned to a life of mundanity or faced a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter was often the worse fate, as they came to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained.

Ultimately, the common thread in all these stories was that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. Time and again, people either realized this early and turned back, or pressed forward, doomed to inevitably face the consequences of their choice.

Throughout Eldridge’s travels across countless worlds, nothing had contradicted this saying yet. Every pathway had shackles of its own. To ambitious mortals on the ground, they brought the skies high above down to the earth, leveling the playing field. With luck and determination, they too could become the heaven others looked up to. And, with time, they too would be replaced. After all, what fun was a game if the pieces stayed stagnant over the eons?

It was thanks to this fundamental, foundational law that the determined few were able to defy their fate and achieve immortality for themselves.

Eldridge’s path didn’t break this trend. In fact, his shackles were more binding and restrictive than most. However, he didn’t see it that way.

On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, its feeble form remolded into a Cursed Artifact, cursed by the resentment of a world. All of this, however, was secondary to the fact that his plan had succeeded. An artifact, a weapon, was eternal, after all.

As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload it to someone else? Mortals threw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in times of desperation.

Someone would eventually be willing to foot the bill. Most would, if given the chance. The bait was far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge - all were at their fingertips, if only they said “yes”. Though their meager life alone might not have been enough to bear the weight of all those shackles, what were mortals if not numerous?

Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls; his kindness and generosity knew no bounds. His help can extend to anyone or anything, rich or poor, weak or strong. It did not matter. Well, if they sacrificed everything of theirs in return just as generously, of course. <<less

Three years ago, a crack appeared in the sky of the magical world of Nethermere, revealing a portal. From it emerged thousands upon thousands of spaceships belonging to a higher realm civilization, intent on invading this “lower” realm.

It is a world nearly controlled by the necromancer, Grymr, who extends his power over the remaining kingdoms. The cruel butchery of his undead Gravers and the trapped spirits of his unfortunate victims give the necromancer an advantage as he sends his forces against the last bastions of the old world.
The last fortress island of Charax remains independent of the necromancer. However, the decrepit kingdom holds the Nalith, a sacred object sought by Grymr and the ultimate goal of his control. Unfortunately for those inside the fortress, like the society inside, the walls are just a crumbling symbol of a grand past. Strict social and economic stratification bring misery among most of the population.... more>> However, it allows the Chara clan to control the island using the help of pirates who dominate the waters.
Like many trapped in the decaying society that waits for the necromancer to overwhelm the island, Hilko hates everything about his world. He is a nobody with only a single friend who doesn’t know of Hilko’s ability to see and talk with ghosts. When the quick-witted smuggler takes a job with the encouragement of his female friend, Silna, they steal a royal artifact called the Nalith. However, he soon learns that the object holds a power that gathers spirits and can help one foresee the future.
In a forced journey of escape and discovery, the smuggler fatefully decides on a path for him. Can Hilko use the power of the Nalith to escape his fate or change his world?

Ellie would not fail.
Geoff would not try.... more>>

High-achieving Ellie Gardner meets intentional slacker, Geoff Cobalt, throwing their previously steady life trajectories into chaos. Ellie is an adopted daughter of a midwestern crime family in dire straits, sent to Orange County, CA not only to get a college degree, but to make connections with another local emerging crime family, the Sinclairs. Geoff is the secret grandson (also adopted) of a legendary supervillain. Despite this, he prefers to eat junk food, light fires, steal, and play video games. Therefore, Ellie is recruited to keep his college studies on track in exchange for training from his grandfather. She needs to study, survive, and learn to budget both her money and time between her many obligations. She can't do it on her own. But when everyone is putting on a front (including herself), who can she trust?

And while they don't realize it, there are many hidden eyes on them.

"Ellie was on her own.
Geoff was on his own.
They only had each other."

All are original characters. There will be some illustrations/portraits painted by me using traditional mediums :) Sometimes the links get broken, so I really appreciate that if you let me know!

There are 8 arcs planned, this is currently the first arc. Sometimes I'll go through and update with more details/plot points as they shift around, so don't be surprised if some details in old chapters change!

Currently posting a new chapter every Saturday and sometimes Wednesday if I've made extra progress.

Set some decades into the future so I can play around with technology.

General content warnings/disclaimer: There will be some laws broken, violence, verbal threats, involuntary confinement, breaking and entering, arson, body modification, poisoning, occasional death. You might call the genre cozy crime. The tone will generally be kept light and the characters may seem callous at times. This is many of the characters are criminals. They are not meant to be role models. Do not take this story as legal advice, security advice, or as a guide on how to commit crimes.

One wish was promised to those who reached the peak of the "Infinite" Tower. ... more>>

One wish that spurred thousands to ascend, yet despite their toils, their hopes, and dreams, none managed to reach the top.

Until one. His name destined to go down in history as the first. Odysseus.

To him, the tower meant 20 years of bloodshed carved through 200 floors of horrors. Trampling on the bodies of those blessed by gods who came before him. No action too detestable, no moral high ground to hold him back, No monster, mortal, or divine being capable of halting his ascent. But when his goal was finally achieved at the end of that long climb, there was only a void left to linger in the silence of his heart pierced by a dagger.

Fame.

Fortune.

Escape.

Love?

All had been long abandoned in his dogmatic pursuit, leaving those who bore witness to to his ascension left to ask,

"What could a man with the power of a god possibly wish for?"
