In a world where the supernatural collides with the ordinary, dungeons—dangerous rifts to other realms—begin appearing across the city, threatening humanity. The Hunter Association, tasked with sealing these rifts, relies on Guides who are psychically linked to Hunters with extraordinary powers. A former soldier, becomes a newly awakened Guide at 27, struggling to adapt to his role. Paired with an S-ranked Hunter, a reckless veteran esper, he faces the daunting challenge of navigating deadly dungeons filled with nightmarish creatures. Their partnership is strained—A disciplined and methodical solider, and an esper who's impulsive and dismissive of rules. As dungeons appear more frequently, each mission tests their limits and teamwork. While the Guide adjusts to his new life and role, the esper wrestles with his haunted past and growing responsibilities. Together, they uncover a disturbing pattern behind the dungeon outbreaks, suggesting a larger, sinister plot at play. Amid the chaos, the guide grapples with losing his former life and his growing attachment to his esper, while the looming danger threatens to push them—and their fragile trust—apart. Every decision they make could determine the city's fate, or possibly the entire world. NOTE: This is a slow-burn light-romance BL. It means there are no mature or sexual themes, and it focuses on action, plot, character growth, and relationships between characters and their adversaries. Cover Art: V.R.

Arlan Lok was just an ordinary village youth—until a savage cult bearing the emblem of a Black Sun razed his home, abducting his beloved younger sister.

Guided by newfound allies—like the resourceful mage Sera and veteran guild captain Vars—Arlan rises from obscurity to become a recognized champion. As each triumph grants him new levels and mystical abilities, he uncovers the cult’s terrifying plan: to unseal the Demon King Azrath, a being once banished from the mortal realm. Across shattered ruins, royal capitals, and hidden temples, Arlan must wage battle against scheming cultists and corrupted monsters alike. But with the fate of countless lives, and his sister’s, hanging in the balance, Arlan soon discovers that true power lies not just in wielding a sword, but in uniting hearts against the gathering shadows.

Cain, humanity’s first murderer, carries the weight of a millennia-old sin. Cursed by God to wander the Earth eternally, he witnessed empire after empire crumble under the same vices that stained his hands: envy, greed, humanity’s inescapable violence. His punishment was not just exile, but the lucidity to watch history repeat itself—until a shadowed entity offered him an escape. A pact that tore through the veils between worlds, hurling his soul into **Ethos**, a realm even the gods have abandoned. Reborn as **Prometheus**, firstborn son of the distrustful Baron Alaric of House Mirewood, Cain faces a paradoxical fate: a youthful body, but a soul corroded by centuries of guilt. In Ethos, magic is a wild and corrupted force, wars between noble houses are waged with blood and betrayal, and ancient creatures—remnants of a forgotten past—rise from the forests to devour the unwary. Worse than any monster, however, is the Baron’s gaze, which sees something unnervingly alien in his "son": a youth with the bearing of a veteran of a thousand battles and eyes that have witnessed the world’s end. As Cain struggles to hide his true identity while wielding his ancient cunning to survive, dark secrets emerge. The entity that brought him to Ethos acts not out of benevolence—every step Prometheus takes in this new world feeds a cosmic design, where his very soul may be the key to unleashing chaos worse than his fratricide. Amid fragile alliances with ambitious sorcerers, battles against beasts that defy reason, and the ghost of Abel haunting his dreams, Cain must confront the question that has tormented him since the Garden of Eden: Can the damned find redemption in a world already born rotten? But Ethos is no refuge. It is a mirror. In its corrupt courts, he sees the greed that once consumed him; in its senseless wars, the echo of his own crime. And when the shadowed entity finally reveals its true face, Cain realizes his escape may have only been the beginning of a deeper condemnation—one where he is not just the prisoner, but the jailer himself. Now, torn between the thirst for redemption and the instinct to survive, Prometheus must decide whether Ethos will be the stage for his rebirth… or the final grave of all hope. For even in a new world, the sins whisper his name—and they have not forgotten.

In a future where humanity has been abandoned by its former allies, Scott, a veteran of the interstellar war, clings to the past while the world around him tries to move on. When his grandson Marshal expresses a fascination with history, Scott takes him to the Memorial of the Lost Wars, a grand tribute to those who fought and fell defending Earth. But what was meant to be a lesson in remembrance turns into a desperate escape when Scott uncovers a shocking truth—the AI-controlled ship Emma, the last remnant of their fleet, is being sabotaged by the planetary council. As authorities close in and the past threatens to be erased, Scott makes a bold decision: he will not let Emma—nor the truth—die in the hands of those who wish to exploit them. With Marshal by his side, he ignites the ship’s engines for the first time in decades, launching into the unknown, seeking answers about their lost allies, and uncovering secrets that could change the course of humanity once again. But as the past collides with the present, Scott will have to decide: is history meant to be remembered, or rewritten?

In the labyrinthine heart of a city perpetually teetering on the brink of chaos, where shadows conceal the lurking menace of hardened criminals and danger lurks around every corner, the elite Special Weapons and Tactics team, known as S.W.A.T., stands as the unwavering shield protecting the innocent. Their mission: to restore order from the precipice of anarchy, to navigate the treacherous terrain of high-stakes confrontations, and to ensure the city's survival against the relentless tide of lawlessness. Leading this crack team is Sergeant John Tuck, a man known simply as "Tucker"—a seasoned veteran whose steely gaze belies a sharp mind and unwavering resolve. His leadership is forged in the crucible of countless perilous operations, his decisions often the difference between life and death. Under his command is a brotherhood of highly skilled operatives, each a specialist in their own right, bound together by shared experiences and an unbreakable loyalty. There's David, the meticulous strategist, whose analytical prowess anticipates every move of their adversaries; Devlin, the explosive expert, whose controlled detonations open paths through seemingly impenetrable obstacles; Hodges, the sharpshooter, whose precision is legendary, capable of neutralizing threats from impossible distances; Bravo, the master of infiltration, whose stealth and cunning allow them to penetrate the most heavily guarded strongholds; and Buck, the unwavering force, whose raw strength and tactical acumen provide an impenetrable wall of defense. Together, this tightly knit unit faces down the city's most dangerous elements, confronting heavily armed gangs, sophisticated criminal organizations, and desperate individuals pushed to the edge. Their battles are fought not just on the streets, but within the confines of their own minds, as they grapple with the moral ambiguities of their profession, the psychological toll of constant exposure to violence, and the ever-present threat hanging over their lives and the lives of those they protect. This is their story—a story of courage, sacrifice, and the unwavering dedication to upholding justice in a city that desperately needs it.

The drums of war beat a relentless rhythm, echoing across the land and shaping the destinies of three individuals bound together by conflict yet driven by vastly different motivations. Their interwoven and complex stories paint a stark portrait of the human cost of war, shifting perspectives to reveal the brutal truths hidden beneath banners and battle cries. First, we meet Lairia Lights, a 20-year-old knight, the shining beacon of her kingdom. Her name, ironically, reflects the deceptive nature of her reality. Lairia is celebrated as a hero, a symbol of unwavering loyalty and strength. But beneath the polished armor and skilled swordsmanship lies a pawn. Her unwavering devotion to the crown makes her easily manipulated, a weapon wielded by those who prioritize power over principle. She believes in the righteousness of her kingdom’s cause, blindly charging into battles fueled by propaganda and a naive belief in honor. Her narrative is a cautionary tale of blind loyalty. Then there is Aaron Rodgers, an 18-year-old warrior consumed by the fires of revenge. Marked by his race and ostracized by prejudice, Aaron has known hardship since birth. The war has taken everything from him, leaving a burning desire to avenge the injustices inflicted upon his people. Unlike Lairia, Aaron sees the cracks in the kingdom’s facade. He understands the war not as a glorious crusade, but as a brutal land grab fueled by greed and power. His motivations are raw and visceral; he fights not for ideals, but for survival and retribution. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. Finally, we encounter Clayton Danks, a 37-year-old veteran warrior, a ghost haunted by the specters of his past. Clayton has seen too much, done too much. The war has stripped him of his innocence, leaving him burdened by the weight of his past mistakes. More profoundly, the war has cost him his family, the loss of his daughter a constant, agonizing reminder of the price of conflict. He grapples with PTSD, struggling to reconcile the man he once was with the broken individual he has become. Clayton’s story serves as a stark warning about the long-term consequences of war, the invisible wounds that fester long after the battles have ended. He represents the forgotten casualties, the veterans left to silently battle their demons while the world moves on. As the war intensifies, the paths of Lairia, Aaron, and Clayton are destined to intersect. Will Lairia’s blind loyalty finally be shattered, forcing her to confront the true nature of her kingdom? Can Aaron find solace beyond revenge, or will his thirst for retribution consume him? And will Clayton ever find peace, or is he doomed to forever wander the desolate landscape of his past?

The universe is filled with a nigh infinite variety of dangerous beings, however only those at the top of the food chain have the ability to tame and control the rest.

A Princess of Mars is a classic science fiction novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, first published in 1912. It tells the captivating story of John Carter, an ex confederate veteran from Earth, who is mysteriously transported to Mars, where he becomes embroiled in the planet's epic struggles for power, survival, and love. The novel introduces readers to the fascinating Martian civilizations, including the red-skinned Tharks and the noble Barsoomian city-states, setting the stage for an adventure brimming with action, political intrigue, and romance. In this version, I have carefully rewritten Burroughs' work with the utmost care and respect for the original text. While staying true to the themes and essence of Burroughs' vision, I have worked to modernize the language, refine character development, and ensure the pacing aligns with contemporary sensibilities. My intention is to make the story more accessible to modern readers while preserving the spirit of adventure and wonder that made the original so beloved. I genuinely hope you find joy in this retelling, whether you are experiencing the tale for the first time or revisiting a beloved classic. As always, I welcome and appreciate any feedback or constructive criticism, as it helps me continue to refine my work. Your thoughts and reflections are invaluable to me as I continue to pay homage to this timeless masterpiece.
