In the northern part of the world, a long-standing battle between various races and the demon race has finally reached its end. The Demon Lord, a figure with black hair, red eyes, rules from her obsidian palace, having repeatedly defeated the Goddess, the strongest being in the world. However, she refrains from killing her, knowing she will only be reborn to lead another attack. As the goddess kneels before her, badly injured and helpless, the sounds of explosions echo outside, signaling the imminent victory of the alliance. Despite her immense power, the demon lord acknowledges the demon's overall weakness compared to humans and the Alliance. The development of fighting energy and mana has allowed ordinary humans to fight demons, leading to the demon army's defeat.

As the Alliance forces storm the palace, they hesitate upon sensing the spell's energy. The Demon Lord vows to resist and be reborn to save her people. Meanwhile, the goddess reflects on the demon lord's past treatment of her and acknowledges her respect and dedication to her people. As the demon lord prepares to cast the spell, the goddess asks if she can abandon her plan and live freely. However, demon lords are duty-bound to restore the demon race's glory and protect her people. Understanding the demon lord's resolve, the goddess readies her sword, intending to clash with the demo lord's forbidden spell. The resulting explosion creates a mushroom cloud, marking the end of the conflict and the start of a new era. The Demon Lord and the Goddess become historical figures, their stories occasionally told.

Merlin Asher was a young man who died in another world, only to awaken in the quiet heart of Storshallow—a city of whispered cults, mechanical wonders, and ancient secrets best left unspoken. Bound to a new identity and equipped with the memories of the body he now inhabits, Merlin strives to fit seamlessly into the life of a modest boarding-house assistant, concealing the extraordinary circumstances of his arrival. As he carries out his daily tasks and navigates the delicate expectations of Mistress Halewick’s establishment, he becomes increasingly aware that Storshallow’s elegant streets and tidy facades hide shadows far older and deeper than he first imagined.

In a land where the holy and the horrifying sometimes share the same shrines, Merlin must tread carefully, forging a new destiny before the Ethereal Veil that lies beyond human sight swallows him whole.

Synopsis of "Chronicles of Hearts and Horizon" The story begins in a world where magic intertwines with the tangible, and ancient ruins hold the forgotten secrets of past civilizations. "Chronicles of Hearts and Horizon" follows the journey of two unlikely companions—Elara, a skilled treasure hunter, and Alden, a brooding warrior—whose paths cross in a mysterious, enchanted forest, setting them on a dangerous quest to unearth a powerful artifact, the Heartstone, hidden within the ruins of an ancient civilization. Elara is no stranger to danger. Her reputation as a fearless treasure hunter precedes her, known across the lands for her ability to navigate perilous terrains and decipher ancient languages. She is driven by a singular obsession: to find the Heartstone, an artifact said to possess the power to alter the course of history. The artifact, shrouded in mystery, is said to be capable of granting its wielder unimaginable power, but at the cost of one’s soul. The Heartstone is believed to be locked away deep within the ruins of the Temple of Eternity, a place that few have dared to enter, let alone survive. Alden, on the other hand, is a soldier of fortune with a tragic past. Once a knight, he is now a wandering warrior, scarred by the loss of his family during a great war that ravaged his homeland. Haunted by his past and driven by guilt, Alden has grown cold and detached from the world, living only for the present day, seeking solace in his sword and the quiet of the wilderness. His fate intertwines with Elara’s when they both arrive at the outskirts of the Cursed Forest, a dangerous and enchanted place rumored to be the final resting ground of many treasure hunters who perished in search of the Heartstone. The two meet under unlikely circumstances when Elara, scouting the forest for clues, finds herself trapped by a treacherous pitfall. Alden, drawn by her desperate cries for help, rescues her, and though reluctant to share her quest, Elara finds herself needing Alden’s strength and combat skills to navigate the increasingly hostile forest. What begins as a temporary alliance for survival slowly blooms into a deep and complex partnership. As they travel deeper into the forest, their relationship evolves from a purely practical one to a romantic and emotional connection. However, their journey is far from simple. The Cursed Forest is alive, a sentient place that seems to have its own will, shifting paths and conjuring illusions to mislead and trap travelers. Along their way, they encounter strange creatures—both mythical and terrifying—and are faced with riddles and challenges designed to test their resolve. The forest, it seems, has its own secrets and a dark history tied to the Heartstone. As Elara and Alden journey through the temple, the challenges grow more intense, testing not only their physical endurance but also their emotional resilience. The temple’s illusions begin to prey on their deepest fears and regrets, challenging the bond they have formed. The deeper they go into the temple, the more they realize that the Heartstone isn’t just a powerful artifact—it is a sentient being that feeds off of the desires and fears of those who seek it. Elara, still haunted by her parents' mysterious disappearance, is confronted with visions of them—alive but lost to her in a world where the Heartstone’s power can bend time and reality. For a moment, she is tempted to seize the Heartstone to bring her parents back, but she is reminded of the cost: the stone's power would enslave her, slowly draining her essence until she becomes a mere shadow of the person she once was. The forest’s enchantment seems to push her toward this temptation, but her growing connection with Alden acts as a tether, preventing her from falling into the stone's seductive grasp. Alden faces an equally tormenting vision—one where he returns to the battlefield, but this time he does not abandon his family.

After the chaotic conclusion of the previous novel, reality itself collapses. Protagonists Kai and Andreas awaken in a realm unlike any other: the Iterative Beyond. This boundless, ever-shifting plane of existence is defined by endless layers of creation, each more complex and alien than the last. At its core lies the Forge of Recursive Creation, a mechanism that perpetually spawns new layers of reality, ensuring that no single layer can ever encapsulate the entirety of existence. However, the Iterative Beyond is in danger. A mysterious and malevolent entity known as The Null Artisan has begun unraveling the layers, threatening to erase not just the Beyond but all realities that stem from it. In this ever-changing realm, Kai and Andreas discover they possess a strange new power: the Echo of Creation, a gift that allows them to reshape fragments of the Iterative Beyond. Yet, they soon realize the cost of their power—every act of creation births new paradoxes, new layers, and pushes them further from the elusive "truth" they seek. To stop The Null Artisan, they must navigate the Cascade of Paradoxical Layers, a series of surreal realms where the laws of existence shift unpredictably. Along the way, they encounter enigmatic entities like the Architect of Chaos, a being who claims to know the true purpose of the Forge, and the Keeper of the Vortex, a guardian of forgotten realities. The ultimate goal is to reach the Core of Originless Expanse, the alleged heart of all existence. But as they delve deeper, Kai and Andreas must confront a harrowing truth: the Forge itself may not be a mechanism of creation but a prison, trapping them and every reality in an endless cycle of narratives. Faced with impossible choices, they grapple with questions of identity, purpose, and sacrifice. Can they truly escape the Iterative Beyond, or will they become yet another story within its infinite layers?

“Tell me if you heard this one. An alien secretly comes to earth to be a savior for all humankind.

Leo always thought being an adventurer sounded cool. Fight monsters, save towns, maybe get a cool nickname like "The Unstoppable" or "The Guy Who Won't Shut Up About His Earth Bending." But when a sarcastic 12-year-old country bumpkin decides to leave his quiet village behind and make a name for himself, things don't go quite as planned. Armed with a solid earth-bending talent, a complete lack of maturity, and just enough stubbornness to make bad ideas worse, Leo quickly learns that adventuring is less about glory and more about laws, taxes, and surviving giant monsters with rocks for fur. Along the way, he discovers new ways to bend earth (and the rules), learns about fusing with elemental monsters (it's grosser than it sounds), and repeatedly gets in over his head-because, of course, he does
