The Extra's Supremacy

Kain Nightshade, a young man from a world blissfully devoid of magic, finds himself inexplicably thrust into the dangerous and chaotic world of Altheria, the fantasy novel that consumed his childhood. But surprise — reality is a lot less glamorous than fiction. He’s not the destined hero or even the sidekick. No, Kain is a nameless "extra," a background character in a world teeming with overpowered mages, deadly assassins, and nobles with more schemes than common sense. "This… this can't be right," Kain muttered, staring at the towering obsidian castle before him. 'The academy… I pictured a Hogwarts-like experience, not a military base!' He stood before the imposing structure, a mixture of awe and impending doom settling in. He’d imagined grand adventures — maybe with some quirky magical professors — not this bleak, stone fortress full of people just waiting to die heroically. Armed with only the faintest recollection of the novel's plot, Kain has no idea what to expect. All he knows is that he’s not the protagonist. He’s not the villain. He’s not even the comic relief. He’s just there, and in a world that thrives on destiny, being “just there” is a guaranteed ticket to the bottom of the food chain. 'They think I’m insignificant,' he mused, a glint of amusement dancing in his eyes. 'They think I’m a background character. Well, let’s see what happens when the 'extra' starts rewriting the script.' With bare minimum of knowledge about the world's plotline, Kain sets out to survive. It’s simple really: let the heroes and villains fight it out while he quietly takes the sidelines and maybe, just maybe, use his utter lack of importance to climb to the top. Because why not? Everyone’s so busy with their big, flashy destinies that they’ve completely overlooked the one thing they should fear: a “side character” who’s learned to play the game better than anyone else. It’s a dangerous world, and Kain’s not here for a tragic death or a heroic arc. He’s here for one thing: survival. No need to become a legend, no need for power — just an extra with the supremacy to carve out his own path, rewrite his own fate, and maybe, just maybe, come out on top when the dust settles.

The Shards of My Soul (Book I in the Ascended Series)

In the northern royal kingdom of Arszden, nothing is as it seems. Being one of the oldest of the Fourteen Kingdoms, time has made its history both fact and fairytale, and to this day, nobody knows which is more accurate, either fantasy or reality. Katarina Kasdan was born free, but 321 days ago, her entire world crumbled at her feet. Not for the first time, and surely, not for the last. Stripped of her right to freedom after her entire village was burned to the ground, she was taken as a thrall by the woman known as the Keiserinne, and used for her dark wishes. But her wyrd was long ago settled. When the infamous Steel Kairo walks into her life, everything changes, once more. He is everything she hates. Everything she fears. Everything she loves. He has secrets interwoven with the very birth of the world he seems to carry in his shoulders, holds more power than one should ever be given to wield, and, on top of it all, he is said to be immortal. Something she should have known the first time she tried to stab him. Or when he offered to teach her to throw knives. Or when he kissed her for the first time. But as another king sits on his throne destined to fall, others reach to claim a crown bejeweled with secrets that could mean the unveiling of a long-lost prophecy and a wyrd millennia before settled. And as false kings race to claim an inheritance that is neither theirs nor the king's firstborn, the wyrd wields its hand to place upon the one true heir's head the crown of the Lost King. And amid such secrets lies a fate that claims that these two will be the bane of each other's existence until the blood of one of them is shed upon a land of daisies. Thus, chaos will come. Lives will be lost. Bonds will be made. Vows will be broken. Blood will be spilled. Fates will be set. And war will be waged. And the only remaining question is whether steel will be broken or a daisy will blossom. (Norse mythology and Viking inspired)
