Vale Bryce is a hunter because her dad wants her to be one. She is a loner because all hunters are. She is a drifter because that is how hunters find their jobs. ... more>>

Those are lies. Vale is none of those things, the lies the only thing keeping her alive. Until one day she slips up. A single moment of truth ruins it all, awakening a longing for a life not built on things she isn’t.

Vale has to go back to lying. She has to. The Inquisition will kill her if she doesn’t. But the truth is too addictive. Vale is not a vampire. That is a lie. That is how she will die.

Yet maybe... dying happy is better than dying a lie?

The Maedra. Foul flesh-born creatures which lurk in the darkest pits hidden across the Overworld, lying in wait for the time Crux is revived so that they can once more plunder the lands and feast on anything that lives. Beasts with no other function but to devour and tear the world asunder for their merciless leader. They've lurked within the Ravine, festering like a plague, for centuries. Finally, they've been exterminated. Through grit and rage, Jake has burned the Ravine from the inside out, slaughtering the Maedra in their nests until not a single one remained. All to repay the debt of hate and blood.... more>>

With his task complete, Jake returns to the surface with a burden to carry. Darius, or Delmuth as was his Elven name, fell to the Maedra and left behind a pair of blades. As repayment for both his teaching and out of respect for the Swordmaster, Jake has decided to return the fallen Elf's swords to the rightful family. He first returns home to prepare and then begins his travel north to the Land of the Elves. A long, grueling trek that will take longer than a year to complete one-way. An adventure that will see him crossing hundreds of miles, passing thousands of faces, and encountering both friends and enemies alike.

What he doesn't know is that along the way, he will learn that the Maedra aren't the only evil creatures that the Overworld cradles. <<less

NOTE:
Everything in the novel is subject to change, this is a bare bones run that does have cringey points and unrefined pieces in story and grammar. I'm learning how to be an author and WILL go back and fix every chapter at some point. That'll probably be closer towards the end though which is quite far out, so please, if you decide to give it a read, keep that thought in mind. Also, feedback is appreciated 🙏 <<less

Report: The Imperium's Vanguard... more>>

Callsign: Demiurge
Unit: 4th Research Division of the Adeptus Psykana

First Entry,
Reporting from the Astorion World.

This expansive world presents an ecosystem teeming with exotic lifeforms hitherto unrecorded within the Imperium's known borders. Of particular interest is the Astorion species, an enigmatic race that transcends our conventional understanding. It is, in essence, a living, breathing world.

Preliminary findings suggest that Astorion is a high-dimensional lifeform, where its very 'body' constitutes its own dimension. As Astorion advances in maturity, it demonstrates an ability to generate additional layers of dimensions, a phenomenon likely attributed to its self-defense mechanisms.

If substantiated, this hypothesis holds profound implications for the Imperium's continuity, mobility and the expansion of lebensraum. Further in-depth examinations and analyses are imperative to comprehending the full extent of the Astorion species' significance.
