After the Rise

Ethan may have missed the Rise, but what comes after is entirely up to him. The Surge sent a burst of radioactive energy from deep underground that blanketed the mountain city of Ascension like a fine dusting of snow, resulting in less than one percent of the city's population gaining superhuman abilities that ranged from inconvenient to catastrophically destructive, irrevocably changing the city's power dynamic overnight. After nearly a year straight of fighting throughout the city, Apex has firmly established its Protectorate Program, employing as many newly powered people as it could to bring the city under control once more. Now, the city enjoys an uneasy peace while Apex struggles to keep the balance of power from tipping again. Ethan Havoc, however, doesn't care about any of that. While working in the tunnels, he missed the Surge, and his opportunity to finally escape his small hometown, Stillrock. With the help of his best friend, Raz, he embarks on his own relentless pursuit of powers strong enough to rival his sister's. Now, after finally gaining his own powers in a tragic accident that, depending on who you ask, may have been entirely his fault, Ethan Havoc is on the brink of reaching his goal and becoming Ascension's newest Protector. It cost him every relationship he had, but nobody said purposefully altering your DNA to become a superhero would be easy. Of course, things would probably be easier if Ethan also hadn't accidentally created the newest supervillain to target Ascension in the process of gaining his own abilities, but how was he supposed to know that Slate had a murderous streak aimed directly at his own sister? Ethan has to gain control of his new abilities while fixing all the new problems he's caused if he wants a shot at becoming a Protector, but Slate isn't going to wait for him to figure out how to keep himself safe while she presses forwards with her plan to upend the power structure in Ascension. Running is always an option, but that would hardly impress the bold Apex scientist whose research holds the key to Slate's plans, and he'll need a few new friends if he wants to survive his first week in Ascension.

SILENCE AFTER THE GODS

Synopsis: The Name of My Silence After the Gods In a multiverse where reality is a thin veil and fiction a palpable force, Ken, an orphan broken by the cruelty of a world that has always rejected him, wakes up naked and amnesiac in the heart of the Cursed Desert. It is not a resurrection, but an absurd transposition into a universe where the gods are princes to be slaughtered and the concepts of freedom invisible chains. Here, each being has a unique capacity, a reflection of his deepest essence, of his very soul. Ken discovers his own: PREDATOR, a monstrous power that allows him to absorb the capacities of the dead, linking them to his being, nourishing a double soul - one immaculate, the other abysmal. Pursued by Zian, an implacable Exorcist of the Celestial Court whose duty is to annihilate "strangers" from other worlds, Ken is thrown into an incessant cycle of death and survival. But he is not alone: Ashen Ryū, a "perfect weapon" escaped from a brutal orphanage, shares his fate. Together, these two "anomalies" discover that this world is not a simple parallel dimension, but an "eating world", a cosmic cemetery where entire universes are absorbed, their fragments scattered in time and space. As he progresses through the levels of ability - from Sleeping to Divine - Ken not only acquires powers, he reveals himself. His quest, born of an absurd childhood dream to "understand everything, surpass everything, reshape the world by its will", is transformed into a metaphysical odyssey. He crosses the path of Elaria, the last of the great mages, whose thirst for knowledge has led her to the limits of the forbidden, and Wei Long, the Protective Martial God, the embodiment of order, chosen by Heaven to maintain balance at all costs. Every fight, every revelation pushes Ken to confront not only gods and concepts, but also the insidious truths of his own existence. His favourite phrase, "At the end of the account, only me remains", becomes the mantra of his sovereignty, a declaration of radical independence that goes beyond any notion of freedom or rebellion. The novel culminates in an unprecedented confrontation: Ken against the Author. A fight that transcends dimensions, where fiction turns against its creator, and where the protagonist seeks to destroy the very source of his story to reach an ultimate form of liberation. Is it an end or a new beginning for the one who, by dint of having overcome everything, has come to understand himself as the beginning and the end? "The Name of My Silence After the Gods" is a novel that deconstructs the very foundations of narration, questioning the nature of reality, will and ultimate power. It is an existential odyssey for those who dare to look beyond words, where silence contains all stories, real or fictional.

After Marriage (GL)

AFTER MARRIAGE Some love stories begin with a kiss. Theirs began with a contract. Sita is calm, reserved, and orderly — the kind of person who finds solace in silence. Vedehi is chaos wrapped in charm — loud, lively, and allergic to stillness. They have nothing in common… except heartbreak, family pressure, and a desperate need to escape. When both women land in England hoping to find love, all they find is disappointment — and each other. One impulsive proposal later, they're bound by a two-year contract marriage: no love, no drama, just a fake relationship to get their families off their backs. But fate has other plans. Sita is still searching for a woman from her past — someone who once held her heart. Vedehi, in helping her find that lost love, quietly falls for the very person she's supposed to be pretending with. Just when feelings start to blur and the contract begins to crumble, tragedy strikes. A sudden accident leaves Sita with no memory — not of the contract, not of the marriage, not even of Vedehi. Now Vedehi is left holding onto a love that only she remembers… And a wife who no longer knows her. Will Sita ever recall what they had? Will Vedehi’s love be enough to rebuild what fate tore apart? Or will their story remain a forgotten promise, lost between silence and memory? "After Marriage" is a breathtaking sapphic romance of opposites, survival, heartbreak, and healing. It’s about falling in love with someone who forgot you — and choosing them, even when they can't choose you back. Because sometimes, the most unforgettable love stories… Are the ones that begin after marriage. Dear Reader, “After Marriage” is more than just a love story — it’s a journey through silence, chaos, heartbreak, and healing. I promise you a story that will make you laugh when you least expect it and cry when you don’t want to. I promise you characters who are beautifully flawed, frustratingly human, and deeply real. I promise tension, misunderstandings, soft moments, and fierce ones — all stitched together with raw emotion and quiet hope. This isn’t a perfect romance. This is about two women who learn that love doesn’t always arrive the way we imagine — sometimes it comes late, sometimes through pain, and sometimes… disguised as a contract. But when it finally finds them, it stays. So, as you turn each page, I hope you feel every heartbeat, every fight, every smile, and every scar. And above all, I promise — by the end of this story, you’ll believe that real love… never truly forgets. With all my heart, — The Author
