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?

After being a wilfully unwilling subject of magical testing our cloaked protagonist, who refrains from revealing his own name, is diving into the dirt underbelly of the slums he once lived in. ... more>>

Partnered with a dagger for hire who's bound by the promise of financial stability. Together the two bound by the promise of riches advance into the conspiracies plaguing their country.

Along the way, they gain acquaintances, enemies, and undead slaves who differ from the usual word-slurring walking bag of bones.

In this world of fantasy magic is a drug, a bare-knuckle fight can be more destructive than wizardry, and the lost art of the arcane can shape the structured outcome of any given battle.

In a world where luck is everything, people were born with a certain amount of luck. The course of the world was controlled by the Infey race, whose job was protecting the luck's source.... more>>

At least that is how it's written in the history of 200 years ago. One day, for unknown reasons, the source of luck was disrupted and the united nation broke into three. People with limited luck, those with almost no luck, and those with almost unlimited luck. The Infey race disappeared.

Since the people without luck had to take it from someone else, an agreement was made to exchange inhabitants between the countries.

The story revolves around the third prince, Nielle, a sadist without luck, who gets a new lucky servant, Shane, whose pride doesn't allow him to surrender to the prince's methods.

Their paths cross with an Infey, a prisoner who has escaped from his country, and his guard, whose mission is to bring him back.

Some clarifications and notes:

- While this is a School Life/SoL Novel, it contains dark and traumatic content. I advise you to be aware, as I won't put warnings to spoil avid horror readers.

- Multiple characters with some exploration, town-building, and politics. There's something for everyone and I never write a perspective without you knowing something new afterwards.

- The Game World of Callixtus has an entire map, along with special ranking, magic systems, races, classes, and commands/spells. I'll make a list once enough information is given.

- This book contains Drama and Romance aspects, though they'll be naturally occurring and won't be the focus of the story.

- There are a lot of characters both in Callixtus and in the real world. At some point, I'll create a fandom/wiki so you'll be able to visualize them all with art, along with a ranking chart of the different academy brackets. <<less

Evelyn is a painter. Her first real love was captured forever in her first oil painting. She was her first model ever. When her first lover died of illness, Evelyn learned how fleeting true beauty can be.... more>>

It took several months to convince Rachel, her second lover, to model for her. She became her first model for her sketches with charcoal, and other pencils. When life's circumstances took her away, she learned that love can also be fleeting.

Now, she seeks something more permanent. Something where she can preserve the beauty she once loved, and prevent her lovers from leaving her. A sculpture of her lover was the key, but who would be her first?

When she first saw Eva outside her small art gallery, which was also her home, Evelyn could see true beauty in her eyes. They were haunted, and carried a sense of betrayal within them. Her too slender form spoke of her life, as did the bruises on her legs.

Evelyn began to sketch furiously. She wanted to preserve that look in her eyes, so it would not be lost to time, or circumstances.

When Eva walked into her gallery, Evelyn knew what she wanted. She wanted Eva to model for her, and become what this perverted artist dreamed of for the last ten years. To turn a beauty into a work of art.

She wanted to preserve the beauty of her lovers before they left her alone. Three little words were on her lips, and they made Evelyn squirm in excitement.

Model for me.

Warning - There may be things you find offensive within. There is betrayal, signs of abuse, perversion, murder, drug use, manipulation, seduction, girl on girl smut, vampires and mind manipulation, and references to underage sex (not graphic).
This is entirely a work of fiction, and one that came out of a dream.

Official Title: The Criswell's Curse... more>>

Ophelia lived. Then she died.
Like clockwork, her death was predetermined by the flames of fate, emerging in the darkness of her 18th birthday. Yet, time rewinded. Again. And again. After 9 lives of being abused, neglected, married off to monsters instead of men, she had enough.
A saint, some called her. A vixen, others murmured. No one in the high nobility knew who this girl truly was, yet none seemed to not yearn for more, to look away from her bewitching grace. And as chess pieces gather, from the most eligible bachelors in the kingdom to women with peculiar tastes; Ophelia observes the pawns slowly moving, their actions causing bloodshed everywhere they touch. And she loves it.
Has her soul become evil, or has she merely gone insane?

Sneak Peak:
"
“You are both revoked from your duties as my handmaids and hereby expelled from the Wharton’s estate.”
“Thank you, milady!”
“But since you damaged the dresses, you are to repay their full price within three years. If you refuse or fail to obey this command, you’ll have two fingers removed. Pack your things and go.”
“But that’s impossible! You know we can’t pay that amount! You are dooming us to fail, Ophelia!”
The Duke was standing at the corner of the room, looking at them as if they were nothing but mere ants, ready to be squashed at a moment’s notice; however, reality only sunk when they saw the wide grin on my lips.
“I don’t recall giving you permission to address me so casually.” My figure leaned forward, approaching their desperate expressions with satisfaction tingling beneath my skin. “You’ve raised me since I was but an infant, however, my mercy won’t be tested any further.”

I woke up in a dark and silent place, feeling confused and scared. I couldn’t see anything or move much, and my head was throbbing... more>> with pain.
I tried to remember what had happened, but it was hard to focus.
I had been walking to school, like any other day, when a black SUV with tinted windows stopped next to me. Before I could react, masked men jumped out and grabbed me.
They fought me off and threw me in the back seat. Then everything went black. Was this a kidnapping? Why me? I had no enemies or secrets.
I was just an ordinary teenager, trying to live a normal life. What did they want from me? As I was thinking, a voice broke the silence.
It was cold and cruel, and it made me shiver. “Ohhh, it looks like our Prince Charming is finally awake. Took you long enough!” he said, mocking me.
I felt angry and defiant, and I shouted back. “Who are you? Where am I? Where are you taking me?” I asked, hoping for some answers.
But all I got was a chilling reply. “You don’t need to know. Welcome to hell.” His words sent a wave of fear through me, and I realized that this was only the beginning of a nightmare.
