The last Shadows

The war against the Twelve was not swift. It was a battle fought in the shadows of a dying world, a conflict that raged through cities swallowed by nature and wastelands stained with the echoes of fallen empires. As the Last Shadows turned to the service of the dark god, their power grew beyond mortal comprehension. They bent the elements, tore apart the very fabric of reality, and reshaped the lands with their will. Under their rule, the world twisted, the strongholds they once built becoming temples of their newfound master. Humanity, once protected by them, became enslaved to their desires. Worshippers of the dark faith flocked to them, forming the Cult of the Abyss, an organization that worked to spread their influence across the lands. Yet even as they stood as godlike rulers, whispers spread of a man who would challenge them. Alexandra the Great, a warrior of flesh and blood, defied the titans of the old world with nothing but steel and will. His forces were small at first—scattered survivors, mercenaries, and zealots from the churches of the Five Gods who believed he was the chosen one to purge the darkness. As word of his victories spread, more rallied to his banner. The Faithbound Orders, the warrior monks of the Gods of Strength and Dominion, anointed him as their champion, granting him weapons forged in the flames of divine power. The first battle between Alexandra and the Last Shadows took place in the ruins of Avalon, where the Twelfth Shadow ruled. It was there that Alexandra revealed the first of the Cold Weapons, blades that could sever the connection between an Ascendant and their power. The battle was long and brutal, but when Alexandra drove his sword into the Twelfth Shadow’s chest, something unprecedented happened—the once-immortal titan fell, his essence shattered, his influence extinguished. This victory marked the beginning of the true war. One by one, the Last Shadows fell, their reign unraveling under the might of Alexandra’s forces. The strongholds of the dark faith crumbled, the Cult of the Abyss fractured, and the chains binding humanity were broken. But victory did not come without cost. Alexandra's war was not only against the Twelve, but against the corruption that they left behind. Each battle took a piece of him—his humanity, his soul. By the time he reached the First Shadow, the one who had risen from the burning ruins, Alexandra was no longer the man he once was. The weight of countless deaths, the burden of power, and the whispers of the same dark forces that had tempted the Twelve bore down upon him. When the First Shadow finally fell, Alexandra stood alone on the battlefield. The churches that had once supported him now feared him, for he had become something more than human, yet not entirely divine. He had slain the Last Shadows, but at what cost? In the aftermath, he vanished from history. Some say he walked into the abyss to face the god who had corrupted the Twelve. Others claim he ascended, becoming something beyond mortal understanding. But the truth remains lost to time. With the fall of the Last Shadows, the world changed once more. The Re-Civilization Era had begun. The Age of Reclamation was on the horizon. But even as peace settled upon the world, the name of the missing warrior remained spoken in whispers. For many feared that one day, Alexandra the Great would return—and if he did, would he be a savior once more, or something far worse?

Everytime I Beat my Meat, I level Up

In a future where all pornography is banned and self-pleasure is a crime, one young man must master the ancient, forbidden martial art of Gooning to avenge his father… one stroke at a time. Ben Dover never asked for this life. He was just a kid trying to survive in a repressed society ruled by the iron grip of the Purity Act—a global initiative that erased all erotic media and punished pleasure with prison or death. But when his father, a secret archivist of lost smut, is murdered by the shadowy martial sect known as the High Goon Council, Ben discovers a hidden world beneath society’s squeaky-clean surface. A world of underground tape traders, cultivators of carnal energy, and monks who edge for enlightenment. With the help of his disgraced grandfather—a retired Gooner master—Ben begins training in the ancient art of shame-fueled martial arts, where power is built through discipline, edging, and denial. But during a high-risk meditative ritual, Ben unlocks the mythical Infinite Edging Technique, granting him the ability to hold back for eternity... and double his power with every moment of restraint. Now, with a roll of tissues in one hand and vengeance in his heart, Ben must rise through the ranks of the Gooner Cultivation World, face off against chastity zealots and lust-obsessed warlords, and uncover the secrets of his father’s death—before the final climax of war erupts across the world. This is not a parody. This is not a joke. This is Gooning. Taken seriously.

A Symphony of Ash and Light

In a world scorched by rebellion and shadowed by lost divinity, love dares to rise from the ruins. When mankind defied Heaven, the skies fell in flame. Celestials were sent to silence the uprising, but some angels chose humanity over duty—and paid the price. Cast down and forgotten, the fallen wander a broken world where belief has splintered. Some humans still wield faith as fuel for sacred technology. Others kneel to machine-gods, clinging to rusted circuits and cold logic. And some have given up entirely, hearts closed to both Heaven and hope. Caleb, a reclusive musician with a quiet strength and a haunted past, lives on the edges of this fractured society. His melodies carry the ache of a world that’s lost its rhythm—until one song stirs something watching in the dark. Seriah, a fallen angel once radiant and resolute, now lives in exile, her once-pure light tempered by sorrow. Aloof, enigmatic, and attuned to celestial harmony, she’s drawn to Caleb—not just by his music, but by a strange familiarity that defies reason. Their meeting sparks a chain of events written in forbidden scripture: "A dark star burning bright and a mockingbird shall sing a new world into being." But prophecies are rarely so simple—and never without cost. As ancient factions war over the soul of the world, Caleb and Seriah find themselves hunted by zealots, worshippers of false gods, and a corrupted archangel who once called Seriah kin. This archangel—twisted by grief, pride, and the belief that he must become a new Creator—sees their union as both threat and opportunity. He will guide, test, and betray them in turn, hoping to use their path to reshape reality. Bound by love, haunted by the past, and caught in a war between Heaven’s remnants and humanity’s future, Caleb and Seriah must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice for each other—and for a world that no longer believes in miracles. Because in a world of ash, only light born of love might bring balance.

Lumenfall: When Machines Pray

In a fractured world where holy light and heretical machinery vie for dominion, two dynasties stand on the brink of annihilation—and their only hope lies in a power that could destroy them both. The Ashorex, revered as divine stewards of the Gaia Continent, wield Luminar Code: sacred magic fueled by the faith of their people. But their miracles are fading. Celia Ashorex, the reluctant heir to the throne, hears the dying whispers of the Light Dominion itself during her coronation—a ritual that goes horrifically wrong when her holy power twists into a lethal force. Branded a heretic, she flees into the shadows, desperate to uncover why her prayers now breed corruption instead of grace. The Lobenstein, exiled architects of reality-bending technology, survive by embedding Arc Cores into their flesh—machines that warp time and gravity but slowly corrode their bodies into dust. Jax Lobenstein, a brilliant engineer rotting from his own inventions, stumbles upon coordinates to the Third Heart, a mythical relic tied to his family’s cursed legacy. But to reach it, he must venture into Ashorex territory, where his kind are hunted as abominations. When Celia and Jax collide in the blighted borderlands, their clash of magic and tech rips open a Reality Shard—a vision of a forgotten prophecy. They see the Third Heart: a pulsating hybrid of crystal and engine, capable of mending their broken world… or unraveling it entirely. Pursued by zealots, Veythari mutants, and the shadowy Vult Council (who manipulate both families for their own ends), the pair form a fragile alliance. But trust is scarce. Celia’s holy sigils flicker with doubt, while Jax’s machines eat away at his humanity. As they decode the Third Heart’s secrets, they uncover a truth neither family dares admit: their powers share the same tainted origin. The Ashorex’s light and the Lobenstein’s steel are two halves of a primal force—one that demands sacrifice. To prevent a cataclysm, Celia and Jax must defy their bloodlines, blending faith and code in ways that could heal the continent… or ignite a war that devours gods and mortals alike.

Legion of the Eclipse

In a galaxy where gods and monsters wage eternal war, one man becomes the architect of humanity’s last stand. When Kael Veyne, a disillusioned mechanic from 21st-century Earth, is torn from his world and thrust onto the corpse-planet Vyrion-9, he inherits a war he doesn’t understand. Armed with the Legion Architect System—a mysterious technology that grants him the power to summon soldiers, construct fortresses, and unlock arcane weapons—Kael must rebuild the planet’s shattered defenses from ashes. But Vyrion-9 is no empty graveyard. The planet is hunted by the Vorath Swarm, a ravenous hive-mind of crystalline xenos, and haunted by the Screaming Choir, psychic cultists warped by an alien artifact called the Warp Shard. As Kael’s fledgling legion grows, so does the attention of deadlier foes: Stalkers in Iron (ancient mechanical horrors) and the Eldritch Confluence (cosmic entities feeding on the Vorath’s carnage). To survive, Kael must evolve from a scavenger into a warlord. But the System demands a price: the more he upgrades his Imperial Regulars, Ascendant Legion, and Aetheric Conclave, the more his humanity erodes. His soldiers are expendable—husks, superhuman zealots, and unstable psykers—but Kael’s conscience isn’t. When he discovers the Vorath are not invaders but creations of a long-dead empire, he must choose: reignite the galaxy’s deadliest war machine or let Vyrion-9 become a tomb for his soul. "Legion of the Eclipse" is a relentless blend of grimdark warfare, base-building progression, and cosmic horror, where every victory inches Kael closer to becoming the monster he fights.
