GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Indenture

Gazing lifelessly down at the thin Japanese sword in her clenched hand, the fifteen-year old's dull brown eyes followed each drop of crimson liquid hang off the tip of the sword and land soundlessly on the ground. "Celestia." The voice of a familiar creature reached her human ears. Her gaze trailed up to meet her masters pair and this initiated his anger but she remained emotionless as he began to complain. "What the hell was that just now? I've been training you for the last ten years and I don't remember you fighting with the speed of a snail. I wouldn't have been surprised if these weak demons killed you." The straight black strands of Celestia's silky hair sway slightly under her hood as she stepped off the pile of dead bodies. The sharp weapon she summoned earlier transformed into light, allowing itself to be absorbed by the tattoo on the palm of her hand. The male glared as she disregarded his last words and spun on her heels, intending to leave the sickening scene. "How many times have I told you to not act like that towards me?" His form materialised in front of her, this allowing his long fingers to wrap around her neck. Celestia choked as her body was driven back and smacked against one of the trees in the vast forest. He released her once her face grew pale and watched smugly as she coughed and desperately inhaled as much as oxygen as she could. She bowed stiffly towards her master as soon as she managed to sort herself out. "I apologize, Zerro." His lips formed into a cruel grin and he unexpectedly planted a kick in her stomach causing Celestia to hit against the rough bark a second time. "You are just a weapon…nothing else." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ During a majority of her life, Celestia suffered through misfortune after misfortune, thanks to the demon, Zerro, who tricked her into creating a contract with him. When Han, a new student transfers to her school, he makes it his mission to help lift away her suffering. Will he succeed or will Zerro stop him from doing so?

The God of Calamity’s Wife prequel: before the beginning

caution: violent scenes and child endangerment- this is a post war world set in Norse mythology and the world is on the brink of war again- Centuries ago, war shattered Asgard. Tired of living in the shadow of the Aesir, Loki and his creatures of chaos sought the respect they believed was their due. Their rebellion, however, brought only death, exile, and the fleeting victory of the Aesir. But gods cannot die forever, and Loki’s defeat came with a prophecy: the war would come again, and next time, he would be ready. Many began to question whether Odin was truly fit to rule the realms. (But that was not my concern. I am an entity of death, a Fylgia bound to the cycles of life and fate. My interest lies elsewhere—with two souls cursed by Odin to live, die, and repeat their lonely existence for eternity. Sirius and Saoirse. For centuries, I’ve watched them endure lives destined for isolation and suffering. I’ve grown tired of their pain. What if they didn’t have to be alone? What if I could give them a chance to defy fate? And, perhaps, what if I could become part of the story that I’ve shaped? These were my thoughts leading up to the beginning of this story. But meddling with destiny has consequences. I probably should have paid more attention to that war, because what I didn’t realize was, by changing one thing, a ripple would expand across the realms that nobody could have anticipated.) Sirius and Saoirse, they weren’t just any Vampire and Werewolf that could have been brought together. They are creatures that must come to terms with the demon beasts inside of them or bringing them together might just end up finishing what Loki’s children had started. The problem is, all they want is a legacy. author note: This story builds a bit slower as it is part of a series but book 1 is complete so don’t miss out on book two. they don’t have to be read in order, book two has more action as well.

The Demon king's Last oath

Centuries ago, the fearsome Demon King made a fateful choice: to shatter his immense power into shards and scatter them across the world, vowing to protect the delicate balance between light and shadow. In his final moments, he swore an oath to prevent his return, even if it meant erasing himself from existence. Reborn as Caius Thorne, the youngest son of a noble family, he is a boy haunted by whispers of a life he does not remember and a power he cannot fully control.

Joined by Elara Belmont, his strong-willed betrothed who refuses to be left behind, and a cryptic rogue with glowing silver runes, Caius learns that the shards of the Demon King’s power are more than fragments of strength—they are keys to breaking the veil between realms. Each shard Caius claims strengthens his connection to his former life, but it also risks corrupting him, pushing him closer to the shadow of his past. Meanwhile, a mysterious masked figure leads a faction determined to bring the shards together and resurrect the Demon King. They believe Caius is the catalyst for their plans and will stop at nothing to claim the shards—even if it means destroying the fragile balance of the world. As Caius battles Shadowborn, unravels ancient secrets, and faces trials that test his humanity, he must decide what defines him: the monster he was, or the man he wishes to be. But with every step, the shards whisper to him, pulling him closer to the edge of destruction. The world’s fate hinges on Caius’s choices. Will he wield his power to protect or destroy? And can he resist the pull of the very destiny he swore to escape? The Demon King’s Last Oath is a tale of redemption, power, and the enduring struggle between fate and free will. First time writing this type of novel. So please support me.
