Miracles are never impossible. It's just that humans so blindfolded wouldn't realize the various wonders on this Earth. He created a dimension world called Demedia so that miracles were free to use so as not to disturb human consciousness that did not open their eyes to miracles.... more>>

Do you think technology is growing rapidly is purely the result of human thought? Of course not, it's the miracles that makes it happen. Likewise with culture, language, religion, and a secret.

The secret that humans can establish relationships with elements on Earth. They must string together pledges in order to communicate with each other and share forces. Then He gave a request that could be granted for the payment of cooperation and performing duties as a miracle holder, which was gradually referred to as Sang Aji.

Not once can you think of being able to grow the wings of the eagle on its back to fly, control light waves, change the weather, connect all the world's networks and of course also control it, and many more in accordance with what worldly elements are bound to them.

Centuries of this miracle is implied, various organizations were formed for the benefit of each, one of which is the Peaceful Student Association which is tasked with reconciling various causes caused by miracles that are intentional or not.

Unfortunately, Frans who has just officially become Sang Aji inevitably escapes from the pursuit of the Peaceful Student Society because its existence is considered a mess that can endanger Demedia. <<less

Story Profile:

The final draft of the first book is completed in its entirety. I edit 2+ chapters each week and post them here.

This book is written as a traditional novel to play out before the reader's eyes. There is rich lore and deep intrigue - all mapped out.

The magic and power build up slowly and there are few battles. The conflict is instead in the intrigue and magical beings that vie to control the fate of the world.

I am a traditional visual artist and have created the map myself, as well as other illustrations which I will periodically add to the story. <<less

In a realm where the infernal flames have inexplicably frozen over, transforming Hell from a domain of fire and brimstone into a desolate icy wasteland, lies a tale of unexpected journeys and hidden destinies. Among the few who dare to traverse this frozen Hell is Snow, a young woman whose ordinary life was upended when fate pulled her from the mortal world into the depths of the underworld.... more>>

Alone in a realm far from everything she once knew, Snow navigates the treacherous ice with empathy and a mysterious ability that sets her apart. But her solitude is short-lived. Fate soon brings her together with two strangers, each with their secrets and stories, forging an unlikely alliance in the face of the unknown. Together, they embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries of Hell's transformation and challenge the very fabric of the celestial realms.

Yet, as they venture deeper into the icy heart of the underworld and beyond, Snow and her companions find themselves pursued by dark forces. Unbeknownst to Snow, her arrival in Hell has set events that threaten the balance between Heaven and Hell, making her a target for entities seeking to maintain, exploit, or upend this balance.

Bound by an ancient oath and driven by a destiny she is only beginning to understand, Snow's quest is one of discovery, duty, and the pursuit of destiny against the backdrop of a world turned upside down. "The Frost Maiden's Oath" is a narrative of hidden truths, the courage to face them, and the exploration of the thin line between salvation and damnation. It’s a story about the paths we find ourselves on, the allies we choose, and the relentless spirit required to confront the shadows of our worlds and of ourselves.

* Tale of Tales is a High/Epic Fantasy saga based on the motifs of ancient myths, legends, and forgotten fairytales *... more>>

Senka is no hero, but you never know what is coming for you. And if that burns down your house and family, while you are left blinded by your house’s guardian snake, the outlook becomes grim. So Senka clings to her dog’s back to survive, unaware of the fateful prophecy and the great changes to come. But when a wandering warrior becomes her protector and mysterious strangers join their hounded party through a series of seemingly chance encounters, they all begin to discover that all is not as it seems.

What is pursuing her? And why? Can the strange characters gathering around her on her desperate quest save her from doom? Are they mere puppets of a young, beguiling witch guided by her own hidden motives, or are forgotten shadows rising again from the immeasurable depths of time? A tale of folk fairytales and myths, of swords and sorcery and mythical beings – a unique story of dark times and unsung heroes who may light your way.

Book one, A Strange Bunch, features leading characters of various ages. This is a fantasy with their progression happening slowly throughout the series, with occasional spikes in character power after certain encounters that may or may not be random. Although the book series is written with adult and young adult audiences in mind, it is, in the tradition of such epics as “The Lord of the Rings,” suitable for all ages. Excerpt from the scene depicted on the cover of the first book:

“Above this hellish pack and the rider at the forefront, flurried a ghastly sight – a cloud of dark, endlessly bustling bodies and wings, a swarm of creatures that, through their almost infinite number, produced that great din which had first reached the ears…”

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?"

A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in?... more>>

Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts.

As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill.

Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her.

But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal?

*** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! *** <<less
